this change, when Echizen plays in the ranking matches, he faces against Momoshiro and Inui. In the manga/anime, his second match was with Inui, but the first match was with Kaidoh. In the ranking match, Momoshiro has already developed the Jack Knife. Just before his match with Egate, Ryoma uses a line from the anime that Shusuke Fuji of Seigaku said to Kirihara Akaya of Rikkaidai, "A dog that doesn't bite barks the most". Cast background The whole Seigaku cast is the same second musical cast from Tenimyu, except Ryoma, who was recast due to Kotaro Yanagi's accident, as well as to cast an actor closer to the character's age. However, the only members of another team from the musicals to reprise their roles were Koji Date as Choutaro Ohtori and Shun Takagi as Masaya Sakurai. Every other role in the film was entirely recast. For most of these actors, this film was their first major appearance in the film industry. Several former members of the musical cast make cameo appearances in the film, though not in the roles they played in the musicals (i.e.: Eiji Moriyama, who played Momoshiro in the first TeniMyu cast, makes an appearance as Genichirou Sanada from Rikkai; Yuichi Tsuchiya, who played Oishi in the first cast, also appears as Eishirou Kite from Higa). Box office The film debuted #10 in the Japanese box office. DVD release The DVD was released on September 28, 2006, in two editions: Premium Edition (9240 yen) and Regular Edition (4935 yen). Prior to the film's release at the Japanese box office, a "making of" DVD entitled Prince of Tennis Navigate was also released for fans to purchase.
