What I'm actually finding most difficult, playing Yukimura, is how to deal with Niou, particularly a Niou that's rather insistent on living up to his reputation as a prankster. Most things I can find my way through in one way or another, but that one ... I'm thrown for a loop, as a player/writer.
Hm. On the one hand, I always figured Yukimura has a ruthless streak, because I honestly can't see how he could fit into the Rikkai Dai team without one. All of them are very goal oriented and not afraid to go for that goal in unconventional ways--that is, they all show a lot of self-confidence in their own play styles. And consider that Yukimura is willing to gamble with his life in order to get back to his game. He's definitely capable of both obssession and very cold logic. So I think Yukimura would tolerate tricks and pranks as long as they didn't negatively affect practice or competition matches. If they did, I think he would throw Niou off the team.
On the other hand, the team-wide loyalty Rikkai shows toward Yukimura makes it seem that his devotion to them is open and known--fairly easily expressed. So I think he might both be a little amused by Niou's quirkiness and also be very firm about Niou not hurting or disturbing any of his team by the tricks, even off practice time.

Anyone else could well be fair game.
