Starting my run in the middle of town, bright sunlight at my back,
As always, [you] tapped my shoulder.
I'm so enthralled by you, yet for reasons unknown.
Your arm won't be linked to mine.
I don't know when but my eyes were locked on you, and that's how it all began.
I won't let you go. I won't have any doubts. Crazy for You.
I want to shout that I love you. Let's try to change tomorrow.
I want to put an end to the times I couldn't speak.
I want to shout that I love you. Let's be brave and take a step forward.
These burnin feelings, I want you to catch.
After Hanamichi finally met Kaede Rukawa, the guy Haruko has a crush on,
The two started fighting due to minor incident,
And that caused a misunderstanding between Haruko and Sakuragi.
The shocked Hanamichi then clashed with the basketball team...
...and put himself in the position of...
Playing against the Basketball team's Captain, Akagi, in a one on one...
The rules are simple
Before I score 10 baskets, if you can steal the ball from me
And score 1 basket, then you win.
Don't underestimate me
I'II steal that ball soon
Slam Dunk #3 Gorilla vs. Hanamichi! Big Showdown!!
Incredible!
He scored 7 baskets in such a short time
Hanamichi and that gorilla, their abilities differ too much.
Haruko-chan.
Don't watch that. Hanamichi is making a fool of himself again.
And he's competing in basketball.
And his opponent is a big gorilla.
He's my brother.
What?
The game's opponent is my brother.
Your brother...
That...?
That... gorilla!?
Damn! 8 baskets already!
How's that! This is the "kids'game" that you look down on.
Don't underestimate basketball!
The captain looks serious.
Of course. He's Akagi. It's the other guy's fault for insulting basketball.
Big brother changes whenever he hears anything related to basketball.
Normally he's very gentle.
You're saying that monster...
Ever since he was very young. All he wanted was to play basketball.
It's like he's given everything to basketball.
Well? What's wrong? Red Head?
I don't think you've even touch the ball up to this point.
Shut up!
Want to touch the ball?
Here!
Here! Here! Here! Here! ...
Look! I got passed you again!
Damn it! First it's Rukawa, and now this gorilla!
Why are all the guys that play basketball such hateful bastards?
Damn it!
His speed is first class, but he can't beat me with just speed.
I'll definitely win!
You idiot.
Ouch! That hurt!
Sorry.
Sorry! I didn't mean it! It was an a...a...accident! I didn't do it on purpose!
You asshole! You just won't understand until you get a beating!
I told you, I didn't do it on purpose!
Captain! I understand what you must be feeling, but please calm down!
All everyone saw was your butt.
Come on! Let's continue the game...
Just 2 more baskets, and you lose.
Oh no! Big brother is getting angrier.
Youhei-kun, please stop this game.
Haruko-chan, that's impossible.
Yeah, normal people can't possibly do that.
Big brother, Sakuragi-kun...
These two could have become good friends.
Big brother, it's the truth. This guy's great!
His name is Sakuragi-kun.
His height is about 190cm.
However, he's just beginning to play basketball.
Well, he's just great, ok?
He wanted to dunk the ball, but he jumped, and ... guess what he did, guess ...
I don't know.
It was great! His head hit the backboard! BANG! Do you believe it?
Does he have what it takes?
He does! I believe Sakuragi will become a very good player, definitely.
Really ...
The guy that you liked, Rukawa-kun, will be joining us this year.
That will increase our team's strength.
Rukawa, he ... I didn't ...
Maybe this year, my dream will come true.
It will for sure, becoming the national champions.
Sakuragi? It'd be a pleasure to meet him...
He was saying that just then.
You idiot.
I'll make mincemeat out of you.
I'll never forgive you!
Big brother. Idiot.
There!
Now it's 9 to 0. One more basket and you lose.
You lose, idiot.
Damn it! Just what do I have to do to get that ball?
Just 1 more basket and I'll lose to that gorilla! What do I do?
It seems that the winner is clear.
Sakuragi-kun!
Haruko-san...
Please stop, Sakuragi-kun. Please stop.
Are you here to cheer me on?
Okay! Come on!!
He looks serious now. What's going on?
Stop thinking that much.
First, just don't let him shoot.
This is the end!
All right! Incredible!
He rushed in front of the basket to block that shot.
Just like a wall.
Only Hanamichi, with his superhuman strength,
and incredible speed, could do such a thing.
It's a miracle.
He lost the ball.
Is he all right?
That was loud, just now!
The ball is?
It's with me.
That kid...
Hi guys, the first part of Slam Dunk was fun wasn't it?
Basketball is great! Let's play it together!
Thanks for waiting, the second part of Slam Dunk will start in a minute...
Let's get together in front of TV!
He's got the ball.
An amateur stole the ball from the Basketball Team's Captain.
Incredible!
Good job! Great! Hanamichi!
Yeah ... Awesome ...
This guy... this guy...
This guy will be unbelievable in the future.
Good job. Sakuragi!
Wonderful! Now everyone realizes how great Sakuragi-kun is.
That's right, Sakuragi-kun really is this great! Wow, incredible, incredible!
Didn't Haruko-chan tell him to stop playing a minute ago?
She did.
That guy is not that simple.
He actually stole the ball from Akagi's hands.
Look.
Just a minute ago, these people were just watching for the hell of it.
Now they're cheering wildly, and they're getting louder.
Come, come. There's still time to bet on Sakuragi.
Yea, hurry. Hurry.
I'll bet on Sakuragi...
Me too!
Thank you. Thank you.
You're betting on Sakuragi too?
Here's another one
Another one on Hanamichi.
Right. Right away. Thank you. Thank you.
That's Sakuragi all right.
I knew he was a good when I first laid eyes on him.
Yeah! That guy knows a few tricks all right.
That's right, that's right.
Yeah. You feel the same too, right?
Absolutely.
Big brother, that guy is Sakuragi-kun.
He is the savior of Basketball Team.
Haruko-san.
Go for it!
She doesn't hate me. She doesn't hate me.
He's back to normal!
This idiot seems to have a little intelligence.
Come on, red head!
Go for it, Hanamichi.
He's getting more excited.
Here I come.
Hey, hey! That isn't rugby. Don't you know you have to dribble the ball?
Hey, you can't take more that 3 steps while holding the ball.
It doesn't matter.
Akagi-san.
Let him do what he wants. He can use any method he wants.
I won't let you take that ball into this circle.
Wha... what terrifying pressure.
This court is the court that I played on ever since I was small.
I'm not going to let you have your way.
What speed!
That's the captain all right.
That's right,
Akagi's talent is his super strong offensive power...
And also his incredible defensive ability.
Freshman, Class 1. Takenori Akagi. Graduate from Kitamura.
Height 193 cm. Weight 88 kg. Position Center.
Wow! 193 cm.
We've got a 190 cm over here
You're really tall!
Freshman. Class 3. Kiminobu Kogure. Also from Kitamura.
Pleased to meet everyone.
OK. Let me see what you can do. Pick random players and play.
What!?
He stopped it!
All right!
Incredible. This guy's something else.
That's something. Awesome, Akagi-kun!
Right. When he first joined the basketball team,
His defensive talent already stunned the whole court.
What's that kid doing anyway?
Yeahh! Where did all that energy go?
An amateur is still an amateur.
What's wrong, Red head?
Can't get past me, right?
Jump shot.
Captain's Trick # 18, Fly swatting.
What happened?
Incredible!
He spiked it!
Yeah! That's Akagi all right.
The Goal Post's King Kong. He's just like the rumors said. Incredible.
I remember last year's district game.
He blocked every shot of the opponent's 2 meter tall center.
I can still remember it clearly.
That Akagi was feared like a god.
Akagi's strength is up to the professional level now.
But...
Because we're too weak, we lost in the first round of last year's district match.
We're sorry, Akagi!
What are you crying for Basketball players?
It's hopeless!
The opponent is too strong.
It wasn't easy to last even this long.
It's too bad his opponent is Akagi.
Now what?
Big brother's going too far. Sakuragi-kun's a beginner.
He doesn't have to be that serious.
That means, that everyone has realized that Hanamichi is really good.
Hurry up ... Hurry up ... Hurry up and shoot.
Hanamichi has become really serious too.
What!?
Is he giving up?
No.
That's not it.
Unless...
He's going for a...
... Dunk!?
It's over... He saw through it.
Put the ball in hard, as if the goal is going to break, that is called Slam Dunk.
Just put the ball into the basket in one motion, in the middle of the circle.
The middle of the circle, in one motion.
Unbelievable!
He actually used THAT against Akagi.
Akagi-san, are you all right?
That guy's incredible.
Unbelievable jump and power!
Haruko-san! Did you see that!?
Just then, I used that Slam Dash method you taught me to beat that old gorilla.
It's "Dunk", Sakuragi-kun...
Right... that's Slam Dunk.
I put the ball in the middle of the circle.
Haruko-san, the credit belongs all to you.
Um... Sakuragi-kun, sorry about last time.
I misunderstood. That was why I said such mean things to you.
No problem. No problem. I don't mind.
Oh yeah. Did you see my Slam Dunk?
Did you see the Slam Dunk you taught me?
I used the Slam Dunk you taught me to beat that old gorilla.
Come to think of it, that gorilla is a really horrible fellow.
He took all the zoo's gorillas, put them together to make a team...
... and even placed himself as the captain, controlling all the other gorillas.
Oh yeah. Did you know that, Haruko-san?
But it's all right now, because I just beat him.
I'll never let someone that mean to animals sabotage our beloved basketball.
And also our beloved Slam Dunk...
That hurt!
What was that, Old Gorilla! What are you doing? Can't take it that you lost?
Haruko, could this guy be ...
Haruko? How dare you be familiar to her? You big gorilla.
I won't let you get one more step closer to Haruko-san!
Get away from her. Shoo shoo...
This is Sakuragi-kun, big brother.
Shoo...
What did you call him?
Big brother.
What?
Big brother.
Your big brother.
Sakuragi.
I lost.
Big brother.
What are you saying, you fool!
Who's your big brother!
This is just a little token of my appreciation. Please take it.
I don't want it!!
Now Hanamichi can finally hold his head high in front of Haruko.
As for his relationship with the stubborn Akagi, will everything go well?
Not bad, Sakuragi.
I see only you in my eyes.
...since the day we met. -now and forever-
As long as your beside me.
I don't need anything else.
Dream's high tension.
Since it seemed to please you...
I decided not to use make-up anymore.
I'm always carrying a pager everywhere I go, so you can find me at anytime.
I know a lot more about cars.
And I'll work on my cooking some more.
But I'll be with you every night for the rest of my life.
I see only you in my eyes.
I'm waiting alone in our room.
Your smile is like a rose colored chain.
Charge!! The girl who likes to dream but has no dreams!
