Overcoming challenges is often a theme. This could be challenges in their relationship, like dealing with jealousy or misunderstandings. Or it could be challenges related to tennis, such as competing against strong opponents. The fanfiction may also touch on themes of self - discovery for both Yukimura and the OC, as they interact and learn more about themselves through their relationship.
Fanfiction about Yukimura from 'Prince of Tennis' and an Original Character (OC) can be really interesting. It often explores new relationships and storylines that the original anime or manga might not have covered. Writers can create unique personalities for the OC that either complement or contrast with Yukimura's character, adding depth to the story.
One of the most common themes is rivalry - turned - friendship. Given their status as strong tennis players in the series, many fanfictions start with them being rivals on the court but then develop a deep bond off - court. Another popular theme is mutual growth. Fans like to write about how they help each other improve their tennis skills and also their personal development.
One common theme is self - discovery. The OCs often start out not knowing their full potential in tennis and then through various challenges, they learn more about themselves. For example, they might discover a new type of shot or a new strategy.
A common theme is the OC's struggle for recognition. Since they are new characters in an established world, they often have to prove themselves against the popular characters. For example, they might have to battle it out in a tournament to show their worth.
A common theme is self - discovery. The OC often discovers their own strengths and weaknesses in the context of the Prince of Tennis world. For example, they might realize they have a hidden talent for a certain type of shot.
Love or romantic interest is also a common theme. The OC may start as an admirer of Ryoma and gradually their relationship blossoms into a romantic one. This adds an extra layer of drama and emotion to the story, as they balance their feelings with their tennis careers.
One great Yukimura x Ryoma fanfiction is 'The Bond Beyond the Court'. It delves deep into their relationship as they face challenges together. It shows how their different playing styles can complement each other off - court as well. Another one is 'A New Beginning' which focuses on Ryoma's return to Japan after some time away and how Yukimura is there to welcome him back into the tennis world in a very heart - warming way.
Another theme is growth. Ryoma is constantly growing as a tennis player, and in some fanfictions, Sakuno plays a role in his growth, either by providing emotional support or inspiring him in some way. And vice versa, Sakuno might also grow in confidence or character with Ryoma's influence.
The appeal lies in the freedom to create new relationships. Niou is a complex character, and pairing him with an OC gives a chance to explore different dynamics that the original story didn't cover.
Growth is also a prevalent theme. Fans like to write about how Tezuka and Fuji grow as tennis players and as people in relation to each other. They might face difficulties that force them to mature, and their relationship is part of that growth process.
