[[RAKninja vs. RetroTheRaccoon]] was a YouTube Poop/Video tennis match that took place between November 20, 2008 and June 22, 2009. RetroTheRacoon had only recently appeared as a complete unknown in the community, having enticed {{Crash2991}} into what became Retro's first tennis match, and immediately made an impression on other community regulars of the time such as {{RabbitSnore}} and {{NS2}} for his immediate grasp on ~~the classic~~ tennis ~~fundamentals~~, along with his style of humor and above-average source preferences that leaned into classic anime. RAKninja would become his next challenger, saying "watching what he did with crash convinced me of his talent, so much so i accepted the match and served it a day or two earlier than i considered myself ready."<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/33467-rakninja-vs-retro-the-raccoon/1#post-1095341</ref>

The match is remembered largely for its usage of ''Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo'', the series that RAK had previously used to create the "ROBOT BUNNY BOOBIES" community meme in his match with Futures Passed. With this being used again for the serve (including the above meme making a second appearance), RAK takes the opportunity to make a new element from the series the main feature of the match: the very beginning of its opening titles, of which the first words are the english-spoken "Love is Here." This phrase would become used in different contexts for every single round, and served to be the origin of what became an enduring motto of the tennis community entirely up into the present day. Other sources used in the match include ''Death Note'', ''Robotech: The Macross Saga''(Episode 1 - "Booby Trap"(1985)), ''Genesis Climber MOSPEADA'', ''Tenchi Muyo'', and the 1980 ''Astro Boy'' series.
