Well I'm a Taichi-fan, so I'm rooting for this as well. Plus, given that the first focus is to get Taichi to A-class, this would also be the match-up that we can realistically expect. In fact, I really want to see a match where Taichi actually owns through complete memorisation, with a body that can keep up.

I'm all for the addition of Sumire as well. It's about time someone else is putting in effort in the romance department other than Taichi. The fox guy doesn't seem like a threat at all against Taichi, but given his demeanor and Chihaya's eagerness to teach first-years.. he might be able to piss him off a bit.
