-ANF- Animanga Nucleus Fansubs zakuro, Madhal
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 burning feelings, I want you to catch.
Sakuragi Hanamichi just joined the Shohoku basketball team after Haruko's suggestion and his first match is...
...a practice match with Ryonan.
Up until now, Ryonan has been able to maintain its lead over Shohoku.
In order to stop Ryonan's ace Sendo, who's on fire...
Shohoku's Coach Anzai devised a strategy which was...
... to get Rukawa and Sakuragi to double team Sendo.
Slam Dunk #19 Time's Up! The Decisive Battle with Ryonan
One minute left!
It's no use! We don't have any time left!
It's okay.
But there's 4 point difference, sis.
Who're you calling "sis"?
Uh... A minute left and they're ahead 4 points... uh... uh...
Since they'll have to shoot in less than 30 seconds... uh...
What? In less than 30 seconds?
It's because of the 30 second rule.
It means that the team with the ball has the shoot within 30 seconds.
Uh... So that means...
We still have a chance.
If we can get one ball in, then we'll have a chance to tie it.
Oh no! Now there's only 50 seconds left!
Do something!
Stop him! Rukawa! Sakuragi! Please!
He got pass them!
Go, Sendo.
Damn it!
Sendo, shoot!
Don't even think about it!
Sendo-san was blocked...
Unbelievable... he jumped that high and was still blocked...
Unbelievable! He's unbelievable!
I can't believe it! That rookie Hanamichi actually showed us some talent!
That simple minded person...
... who is always being rejected by women...
... is unbelievable!
That's great, that's great, Sakuragi-kun!
Got it!
Did you see that? Based on my god given talents, I'll win for sure, Sendo!
Too naive.
You still have to practice your dribbling some more.
4 points.
This is bad... he'll steal it...
Behind you! Pass! Pass!
Him!
It went in! A 3-pointer! Only one point left!
Rukawa! Rukawa! Ru... ka... wa!
Nice shoot, Rukawa!
Damn it... I passed it to Rukawa... What the hell am I... I...
Nice assist, Hanamichi! Nice assist, Hanamichi!
There's not much time left, only 40 seconds!
Don't panic. Try for a steal!
Okay!
Red team, number 6.
Too bad...
Nice cut, Yasuda-san!
If we get this ball and score, we'll make a come back!
A come back! Only one point now.
That 3-pointer from Rukawa came at a great time!
A come back!
That's right, against Ryonan...
We have to win!
Just a little more now. Go for it!
Yeah!
Only 30 seconds left! Defense is number one!
Calm down and take it easy...
We can drag out the time with this one.
That's right, Uekusa.
We're still ahead right now, so we can use the time to our advantage.
Why is he still be so calm at such a critical time!?
Be a little nervous!
What an amazing starting guard Ryonan has. Damn it...
Damn it!
25 seconds left!
There is no time left!
Stop them!
Come on, Uozumi!
You coward.
That's right, don't try anything that might not work, just use up these 30 seconds.
There is no time left! Go for a steal! Pay attention to the defense!
We'll lose if we can't get this ball! Get it no matter what!
Let's go!
How much time left?
15 more seconds.
Good.
We've won.
Rukawa!
You won't get pass me!
An ally!
Nice assist, Rukawa!
Sakuragi!
Don't do anything foolish!
Slam...
Sakuragi-kun!
Hi, guys! Finally Hanamichi will put on the show on the court. Let you remain!
If you can hold the ball in a hand, you'll be a great basketball player!
Sakuragi-kun!
Loosen up your knees, use all your strength and jump really high...
...and then put the ball in the basket.
Relax my knees, jump high and put it in?
Put it in.
Sakuragi-kun...
Alright! A come back!
I'm a genius after all.
Sakuragi!
You can call me the God of victory from now on.
That idiot.
It's not over yet!
Pass!
Times up!
All right! We won!
My goodness... my stomach is starting to hurt again...
We won! We won! That's great!
It's... It's over?
Pass.
Sakuragi.
Line up.
Wait a minute!
Sakuragi-kun...
Pass!
I seem to recall that there's still 5 seconds left! Pass!
Sakuragi...
Paa!!
It's over.
We lost.
Pass!
Sakuragi, I know it hurts, but it's useless.
We lost.
PASS!
Sakuragi!
You did a great job.
Line up, Sakuragi.
Thank you very much, Coach Taoka.
Akagi-kun, within a year, your basketball team has changed. It's become much tougher.
And...
No...
We'll see you in the inter-highs.
Yes sir!
Akagi.
When we play in the inter-high, I'm going to win. Remember that.
Don't be conceited.
Sakuragi.
If you want to beat me, then you'd better practice like hell.
Sendo.
I'm going to practice like hell also!
One day, I'll become like Sendo-san.
Then, shall we go?
Coach Anzai, thank you very much.
"That number 10 will be an excellent player with more practice"...
Or so Taoka wanted to say to Akagi but didn't.
That's because he understands that it means that one day they will defeat his team.
In order to prevent Shohoku from catching up to us, we'll train harder starting tomorrow.
I have to record this.
Damn it...
It's all because you didn't let me play earlier.
If I had started earlier, this would have never happened.
Stop it.
Sakuragi-kun, don't be anxious.
From now on... from now on...
Sendo-san, that's...!?
That idiot's power.
Unbelievable.
Damn you Sendo... Next time I'll defeat you for sure!
That bastard...
Next time, we'll win.
Shohoku lost.
But to Sakuragi, this match is the beginning of everything.
Rukawa has also realized that there's someone like Sendo whom he must surpass.
And in the upcoming inter-high championship, Shohoku's five will remember this defeat.
And they'll burn with a new conviction.
I see only you in my eyes...
... since the day we met. -now and forever-
As long as you're 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!
