Gee, looking at the old art is really bringing back old memories. It's interesting how, err, for lack of a better term, masculine Eiji and Fuji looked in the beginning. Also, there was this one drawing of Fuji where his eyes were too spaced apart and that was kind of... unsettling. Actually, I think Oishi had that same problem with the eyes once or twice, I'll have to look back. But, the one who looked the most pleasing to the eye at this point was Inui.
Regarding Momo and Ryouma's match, I don't think Ryouma knew that he was hurt intially. Though, I guess it wouldn't be too apalling if Ryouma did know and was only playing Momo to play him. But, I digress. Ryouma could have been playing Momo and noticed how he was getting tired or something and was, like, "Eh. Let me end this now." And Momo probably called it quits because of the fact that his ankle was started to have a lot of pressure on it and it started to hurt him. As a side note, it's hard to see from Ryouma's perspective at this point. Perhaps it's just me, but getting his character down is just difficult.
As for Tezuka and the ranking matches incident, I don't think it was anything akin to him breaking the rules. They did say that it was ultimately up to the captain whether or not seventh graders could participate in the matches. So, I don't think that he was breaking any rules himself.
