I havn't finished the tv series or seen national championship yet so please no spoilers. I'm in the 130's/178.

I saw theres 13 national championship ova episodes. Is that all or are more being released?

Because usually matches last like 3 episodes, usually 3-5 matches so thats like 15 episodes and that only be vs 1 team so i can't see nationals lasting 13 episodes lol. Is manga still being made for nationals, dvds, tv, whats going on?

There's a second Nationals OVA featuring the semi-finals currently being released. It's supposed to have 6 episodes. Presumably a 3rd OVA will be made for the finals, which are currently running in the manga.

As far as the matches, they're all one episode in the OVA, but that's because they exclude much of what stretched out anime matches, although a few of them could have run a little bit longer.

That reminds me, do we ever get to see Atobe after:

Ryôma shaves his head?

Yeah, he shows up with a new, shorter haircut during the Seigaku vs Shitenhouji match. Bizarrely, when the members of Seigaku, Rokkaku, Higa, Hyoutei and Shitenhouji get together after that match, he has his old haircut.:shrug:

A Wig? Maybe he got it from the Shitenhôji pair?
