think taht bloth of them are great players and are very good skilled, but Taiyou has a clear disadvantage, because of his injury.

Ichinoses injury isn't influencing his plays. It's only said, that he could never gonna be able to play again if he won't get his surgery jet. The only influence it has is that he doubts if he should play.

Taiyou otherwise got influenced by his injury in matches. If I remember right he was short breathed the longer the match went and in the end wasn't able to move. He also needed his teammates to draw out his keshin, because of his injury.

In fact I would say they're both evenly skilled, but Taiyous injury harms his playing abillity. So it should be Ichinoses Round.
