-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 was rejected by 50 girls during the 3 years of junior high,
Hanamichi has just met his savior Akagi Haruko.
To get close to Haruko, Hanamichi decided to join the basketball team, however...
...conflicts started to occur with Haruko's brother Akagi.
Shohoku and the 4th strongest team of the district, Ryonan had a practice match.
Shohoku was falling behind Ryonan with too many points but,
With Sakuragi and Rukawa's combined offense, they were now only losing by one point.
Hanamichi's miracle shoot allowed his team to take the lead.
But Sendo's quick counter attack causing them to lose the match.
After talking to Haruko, Hanamichi began to recover from his losing match.
She also helped him to buy a pair of basketball shoes.
Right now, Shohoku is back to their goal of the being country's champions and their spirit rises again.
Can... can that guy play?
Who are you talking about?
Don't act dumb.
There's only one person.
Hey pal, what's your name?
Mito Youhei, and you?
Miyagi... Miyagi Ryota.
Slam Dunk #21 Super Trouble Makers Hanamichi VS Miyagi
So you finally bought it eh, Hanamichi?
These are Hanamichi's basketball shoes?
Wow, they are nice.
Hey, let me see, let me see.
Don't put your filthy hands on them!
What do you think these shoes are?
Heads are too high! Lower! Lower!
Listen up,
These shoes are the same as the ABC stars! It's the same brand!
ABC?
Wait... no... CIA...
No...
FBI...
No...
It's PKO...
No, well it doesn't matter where it's from, it is a super pair of basketball shoes.
You idiots, scared yet!?
If that's true, they must be very expensive, Hanamichi.
Not really, only 30 yen.
30 yen?
Sakuragi-kun, how does it feel to wear those shoes?
Haruko-san,
I'm nothing different than that cocky Rukawa now...
The reason is because of this.
Because he's wearing basketball shoes and I'm wearing running shoes,
In another word, it's just the shoes. I'm only worst due to the shoes.
That's what you think.
Once a genius like me wears these shoes, Rukawa is no longer trouble for me.
And with my real abilities, I will definitely be better than him!
Only the shoes are better, only the shoes!
Alright, just watch Haruko-san...
Watch me dribble, pass and running shoot!
What do you think?
That's amazing, Sakuragi-kun.
This is what you call easier than "mouse catching a cat"
It's not mouse catching a cat, it's cat after a mice.
The Genius Sakuragi is perfect now!
If he does come back, then wining the national championship is no longer a dream.
But...
Genius...!
But... if he runs into Sakuragi, then he would...
Miyagi.
Why didn't you call us after you got out of the hospital?
Ha, Miyagi?
Bye bye, see you tomorrow.
Do you saw Ryota?
Did he back to school?
It's a lie, I'm in his class and he's still absent.
But my friend said she saw him.
Miyagi will not join extra curricular activities due to his personality.
See you later, Ayako.
I guess I should go find him.
I am genius...
Genius... Genius...
Basketman Hanamichi!
Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Ah! Ayako-san.
What kind of song was that?
Ah, haha... nothing.
It was hor...ri...ble.
I was just thinking if Haruko-san would come see me play?
She's not that free.
Is he already out of the hospital?
If that's true, then there will be another trouble maker on the team.
This is going to be bad.
What is bad?
Nothing, never mind, worrying is useless now.
Alright! Let's go find him.
You shall keep me company, Basketman!
You didn't have to be that rough to me.
Please stop it.
'cause I just got out from hospital.
Did you clean up your act in the hospital?
Miyagi, that doesn't sound like you at all.
Are you scared?
Haven't more cocky people entered the school?
That first year 4 men group.
Don't try to change the subject, we'll start off with you Miyagi.
You don't have to worry, we'll clean them up sooner or later.
Sooner or later?
The fact is that, you guys were no match for them.
The head of that group, Mito, is definitely stronger than you.
Ota-kun.
Damn you!
Mitsui-kun.
Miyagi, you're well today, then my worries are over.
What?
Miyagi came to class?
No, he hasn't been to class yet, but someone saw him hanging around school area.
So... he already left the hospital.
It was faster than I expected.
Is he that second year player which was in hospital?
Yes.
I guess this mean, Miyagi is going to be in our tournament,
That's great.
Is Miyagi-san's skill that strong, Kogure-san?
Just go see for yourself.
He is a guard just like you.
Guard?
Hi! Hi!
Kogure-san, I heard that Miyagi is back at school.
Yes, he's back.
I just hope before the tournaments begin...
...he won't start any kind of trouble in this critical time.
I also hope that he won't be suspended to play in the matches.
Why? Why would he be suspended?
That Miyagi-san, what was he done before?
Is it that, he is a frightening person?
So you've left the hospital too, Mitsui-san.
You look well today too, Miyagi.
Then I'm not worried.
Your punches sure aren't friendly.
He's already someone that can't be described as frightening.
The last time he went to the hospital was because of a huge incident and was carried to it.
Incident?
That incident was announced publicly causing suspension from the match.
Plus, there is Sakuragi here this year too.
That's right. Those two are on our basketball team.
It's similar to having two bombs colliding together.
What are we going to do?
I am a genius...
Basketman.
When I have basketball shoes,
I'll be invincible, and Rukawa is nothing...
Hmm... can't seem to find him. I'll be invincible, and Rukawa is nothing...
I think it's better not to run into him. I'll be invincible, and Rukawa is nothing...
A fight?
I am a genius...
Aya-chan!
Who is that guy?
During my absence, why did you go out with another guy...
Why did you ignore me all this time?
Aah, it's annoying.
What kind of world is this, Aya-chan!
Hey
Don't cry!
You bastard!
Ayako-san, what's with this...
Shohoku's basketball team now has another troublesome character,
Miyagi Ryota, second year.
He has had a crush on Ayako for a while.
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!
Bastard!
Ryota!
Damn!
With one punch, he actually hit Sakuragi off his feet!
What the hell are you doing?
Hey Miyagi, you hit the wrong person.
Ryota, you've misunderstood everything!
Listen to me!
Miyagi Ryota's Vision.
That Miyagi-san, what was he done anyways?
Shiozaki-san, please tell me.
Well, it's along story,
Miyagi is a very cocky person, so the older students don't like him very much.
One time, 6 to 7 people ganged up on him and he had no chance of winning.
Mitsui-kun!
Hey, stop it, stop it!
I told you to stop!
Look at me, you bastard!
Hey you, stop it!
Stop it!
Miyagi knew he couldn't win,
But he didn't care about the other, he only hit Mitsui.
He didn't care how much he got beaten, as long as he took Mitsui out.
So when Miyagi got knocked out,
Mitsui had also been out cold.
So both of them went to hospital.
Hey Miyagi,
You got it all wrong.
Why do you care so much about the past? You got hurt so did I.
Damn it, what did you say?
My bike!
That damn red head!
Hanamichi, Ryota!
What's going on, Ayako-san?
Haruko-chan!
Damn it! You red headed freak!
Mitsui-kun!
Alright Sakuragi, step a side...
Aah, No... Nori-chan!
You asshole!
Stop it!
Yes.
Aya-chan...
Haruko-san...
Damn it, I knew you liked Aya-chan...
I see what's going on, this guy think I'm going out with Ayako-san.
Idiot.
Wait a minute, this means...
What that idiot thinks is his business,
If Haruko-san misunderstands...
Sakuragi-kun, the one you really like is Ayako-san...
Then I might as well just leave you.
It's not like that, Haruko-san. It's a misunderstanding!
I can't forgive you, you asshole.
I should be saying that to you.
Both of you! Stop this at once!
A... Aya-chan...
Go join the team practice right now!
Yes, ma'am.
Come to think of it,
Aya-chan with this red hair freak... No way...
Basketball shoes!
You must practice hard, Sakuragi-kun.
Yes. I must not stay here any longer. I must go practice.
This rookie's shoes should be...
This is... this is...
These are the pair of shoes that I always wanted to have..
What can you do?
Forget it, this kind of priceless bastard is just a blind follower of fashion.
I win!
I haven't been in here for a while, I forgot where the changing room is.
Don't tell me you are too!...
Miyagi, Miyagi, Miyagi!
I'm back.
Hmph! I can't believe he's on the basketball team too.
Miyagi!
That's Miyagi-san?
He definitely looks scary.
Ryota, is your body feeling better?
Yes!
Yasu, let's go one on one.
Mi... Mitsui-kun?
Are you ok?
That Miyagi bastard!
Hey, who's that red head?
Is he a first year student?
Yes, first year class 7, Sakuragi Hanamichi.
He's also on the basketball team.
Last time, we wanted to teach him a lesson on the roof top, but...
Someone was in the way, so it wasn't successful..
That time, that other guy is on the basketball team too.
He was from another class, his name is Rukawa.
He's also very strong.
Why the hell they all on the basketball team?
Damn it!
Nori, how long are you going to sleep!?
Ah!? Where am I? Who am I?
Damn!
I will never forgive those bastards!
I will never forgive!
So fast!
Even our starting guard Yasuda-san couldn't react in time. Even though he is not tall.
His speed is definitely the best in Shohoku.
Amazing!
Aya-chan.
Trying to act cool again, geez.
Even though that guy is troublesome,
His basketball skills are very strong and considered to be the next captain.
I really lost to you Ryota, your skills didn't get rusty at all.
Before I thought I could beat you today for sure.
Yasu, maybe ten years earlier you could.
While you were away in hospital...
What is it?
I am the real next captain!
Do you want to compete?
I have a bad feeling.
Me too.
The person who fought with a gang and ended up in the hospital,
Miyagi Ryouta has returned.
Hanamichi and Ryota,
Shohoku basketball team now has two super troublesome people.
The situation right now... a total mess with many team problems.
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!
