Yakushi is probably the school which is gonna be the most affected after the summer of act 2
And the one and only reason is : Sanada
Like I don’t think any other team depends on one certain player for them to give their hundred percent. He has been quite literally the pillar of Yakushi since act 1 summer. He is the only guy in the team who could keep the rowdiness of Yakushi in check and navigate it. And this isn’t isn’t even adding his ability as a player into the mix.
Yall thought Inanshiro missed Harada in the fall tournament? Well Yakushi will prolly fall off in the group stages for fall. Ofc I give Raichi, Mishima and Akiba their flowers but they are all wild horses who need a direction. Tomobe ( the freshman pitcher ) is certainly not even close to being a Sanada replacement ( not that he should ).
