The latest Urusei Yatsura episode reminded me of a piece of old fan art I did a long time ago

I remember it well because I always liked the idea and it took me a lot of effort to draw at the time.

with four of Takahashi's heroines getting ready to play tennis in a doubles game

found it

I tried to make the teams as even as I could.

that is stupid cute

but that's a match that will end the world

hehe

thank you!

i remember now i had also planned to include a companion piece featuring Ataru, Godai, Ranma and Inuyasha playing cards while they sat in the audience, but i couldn't find a good composition for it

in the latter case it was more of a question of who would lose the least than who'd be more likely to win... Ataru has ROTTEN luck, Godai's luck is also pretty terrible, Ranma is canonically very bad at keeping a poker face, and Inuyasha is from before card games came to Japan. I think.

for the girls I think Kyoko's tennis playing experience and Lum's flying and strong competitive drive make their team able to hold their own, especially since Kagome would probably not take it all that seriously but just treat it as a pleasant diversion.

but in the end Akane's team will likely win all the same.

aww, thanks for the retweet Sharon!
