-ANF- Animanga Nucleus Fansubs madhal, zakuro
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.
This burning feelings I want you to catch.
Even though Shohoku lost to Ryonan's star player Sendo,
the return of Miyagi Ryota
has caused the whole team to set their minds on the national tournament.
However, the greatest threat came upon Shohoku basketball team.
Mitsui's gang has come to seek revenge on Miyagi Ryota
and forcing the basketball team to risk dismissal.
Within this conflict,
everyone discovers that Mitsui was once a member of basketball team.
During his middle school years, he had once won the regional championship.
MVP Mitsui was seriously injured during a match with Akagi.
He swore to recover and play again to thank coach Anzai for his help.
To repay Anzai-sensei,
I must recover quickly and return basketball.
Just watch, Kogure!
Only if his wound were healed everything would be fine.
Slam Dunk #27 I Want to Play Basketball!
I remember that it was at the beginning of the inter-high qualifiers.
Mitsui, who should still be in the hospital, appeared on the basketball court.
Good morning!
Mitsui-kun!?
Isn't that Mitsui?
Mit-chan, are you already got out of the hospital?
You can already walk? How's your ankle?
Are you sure you're okay? Leaving the hospital so soon?
Always lying on the hospital bed is going to get my body all rusty.
Mitsui-kun...
Anzai-sensei.
Salute!
You've already left the hospital, Mitsui-kun...
I'm glad.
Mitsui, do you think you can make it to the inter-high qualifiers match?
It's just around the corner.
I'll definitely be there.
Then we won't have to worry.
Akagi, the competition between me and you isn't over yet.
I'll show you for sure when I play again.
You better not think you've already beaten me.
Don't joke around, I've already won.
Let's do this everyone! Alright! Come pass!
Gone again...
Mitsui-kun sneaked out like this yesterday too, sensei.
I really don't understand him, his wound has just begun to heal.
Do you think he sneaked out to see his girlfriend?
But then that's impossible, all he talks about is basketball.
I heard that when Mitsui-kun was at middle school he was an outstanding player.
Yeah, he even announces leading Shohoku High to win championship.
I remember that he said something about an inter-high qualifiers about to start.
Alright! That's it, Akagi!
All you have to do is don’t move your pivot foot when you turn,
then you will never be called traveling again.
Yes.
Okay then, once more!
No need to avoid them, Akagi. You will not lose when it comes to power.
Who's avoiding.
Alright! Good!
This kind of charging power is necessary.
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah. You are really powerful.
Alright! The time for the match is near. We will not lose!
Yeah!
Damn, I will not lose.
So how was it? Haven't you played basketball for too long?
Se... sensei!
Did I guess correctly?
But, my ankle isn't a problem anymore.
I just went for warm ups for a while,
so I can officially practice with the team.
What are you doing!?
What if something bad happens to your ankle?
I understand how you feel,
but, right now is a very important time.
If you work your ankle too hard, then you won't be able to recover for a long time.
Please stay here until your injuries fully heal.
Then you can play basketball all you want.
All you have to do is wait for one more month.
Do you understand, Mitsui-kun.
One more month.
Then I won't make it...
to the inter-high qualifiers...
Damn!
Mitsui-kun...
Ah? Today, you're actually sleeping quietly. What a rare sight.
I guess sensei's lesson was really effective.
Actually when he listens, he's actually a good kid. And he's cute too.
Let the onee-san take care of you, Mitsui-kun...
That little brat!
My ankle doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore.
I can play.
Alright!
Mitsui is fully recovered.
It doesn't hurt anymore?
I'm okay, the injury from the last week's match is all gone now.
Don't force it, Mitsui. If it hurts, you can rest.
I said it doesn't hurt. Resting is more painful to me.
Kogure, just go spend some time in the hospital and you'll see.
Not playing basketball for 3 days and I feel like I'm about to die.
Mitsui...
Alright! Defense is the most important!
Kogure!
Akagi, you are too naive.
Incredible!
He is Mit-chin after all.
How was that? Did you see that, Akagi!
Mitsui!
Mitsui! Mitsui!
Mitsui!
Mit-chan.
Was your ankle healed?
As a result, Mitsui wasn't able to compete in the inter high qualifiers match.
He's big!
That number 10, I heard that he is still a freshman.
Salute!
Go for it, Akagi!
Alright!
Nice shot, Akagi.
Keep it up.
Yes.
Alright! Go! Good job, Shohoku!
After that game, Mitsui never return to this gym again.
Mit-chan.
Kogure, you're such a big mouth.
But, it's the truth, Mitsui.
All this actually happened?
I didn't even know Mitsui was a basketball player.
If that injury didn't occur, right now he may be the ace of the team.
That is impossible, because I, Sakuragi, am the star.
Mitsui-san...
He's too stubborn seeking revenge on Ryota.
He thinks he's better than everyone.
Because Ryota is a rookie that everyone looks forward to depending on.
It's because he has everything that you lost.
Mitsui-san.
Mit-chan.
Mit-chan, deep inside your heart, you really want to return to the basketball...
Hi guys, finally Hanamichi will put on the show on the court. Let's cheer him on.
If you can hold the ball in a hand, you'll be a great basketball player!
Mit-chan, do you really want to return to the basketball?
I forgot when but one time when we were at the beach...
You bastard...
What's wrong, Mit-chan?
Oh, nothing.
Can you please pass the ball?
I mean... ball...
Oh, just wait a moment.
You come and get it yourself.
Yes!
I'll give it to you. Here!
At that time, Mit-chan, you didn't like what you saw
because you hated those kids playing so happily.
Mit-chan.
Mit-chan, you weren't able to forget basketball at all, that's why...
Stop, Mitsui.
Shut up! All of you! There's no point to keep bullshitting about the past!
Kogure-san!
You god damn fag!
You still haven't learn, Gori will never....
If you get in, things will only get worst. Just stand a side.
Why? I'm the main character here. Damn it!
Let me go, I want to go save Megane-kun. (Megane: Glasses)
Mitsui, so your leg has fully recovered.
That's great, then let's play basketball together.
Megane-kun!
Are you some moron!? Play what basketball together!? Idiot!
To me, basketball is nothing but a piece of shit!
I only came here to beat up Miyagi.
I'm not going to let you bring up some boring old bullshit!
Basketball is just a simple outdoor school activity!
I have no feelings in playing it anymore! Is that clear!?
What happened to the "be the national champions"?
What happened to the "number one in Japan", "making Shohoku the strongest"
My goal is to make Shohoku national champions, number one of Japan.
Let's use our strength and dominate the national championship.
You got no guts.
Mitsui, you don't even got what it takes!
You got nothing, why talk about winning the national championship.
Don't just bullshit and keep destroying people's dreams!
Kogure.
That's the past, it has nothing to do with me!
I'm not going to let you say "it has nothing to do with me!"
You're not the same as Akagi. To me, someone who such poor abilities,
achieving national championship is practically an impossible dream.
Even in my dreams, I never thought of having such a chance.
But, the time when I saw you and Akagi's play,
was my first time having such stunning feelings.
The two of you gave our basketball team hope.
Make us think winning a national championship is no longer a dream.
Alright! These three years, I will give everything I got.
But, when you left the team, my dream also vanished.
With only Akagi, that goal could never be achieved.
When I have totally given up this thought,
Rukawa joined and Miyagi returned.
This year's chance has once come back to us.
Hey, Megane-kun,
I think you're missing one person.
There is I, genius Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Shut your mouth for a second.
Even though we lost our practice match to Ryonan, it was only one point!
And when I start to think we'll have a chance in winning this year,
Mitsui, you returned after two long years.
The one who destroyed my dream,
has now come back to break up our basketball team!
How many times are you going to take away my dream to satisfy yourself? Mitsui!
Ko... Kogure-san...
Say something, Mitsui!
Shut up!
Kogure, your dream has nothing to do with me!
Basketball, this thing... Basketball, I already...
Mitsui-san.
Miyagi.
The one who always remembers the past is you.
It's me, open the door.
Open the door.
Until the last moment...
you can not give up hope.
Once you've given up hope, the match will be over.
Kogure!
You are so naive, Akagi.
Mitsui! Mitsui! Mitsui!
Sensei...
Anzai-sensei...
I... I want to play basketball.
I want to play basketball...
Here!
Mitsui!
Mitsui-san.
What! I can't believe it! That's the half man, half woman faggot.
Mitsui cut his long hair.
He gathered his spirit back to return to the basketball team.
I think he still needs to play with our teammates for a while.
Two year's blank is not going to be easy pick back up.
But I believe one day, he'll become an important part of Shohoku.
Go for it, Mitsui...!
It's all about spirit! Shohoku fight!
Feeling strong emotions toward coach Anzai and basketball,
Mitsui has once again return to Shohoku basketball team.
In this big city, I am all alone...
Like an empty can, thrown away.
If love is love until we know everything about each other
Then let's sleep forever...
Until the world come to an end, we won't be apart.
I wished it for countless nights.
Why does only a time that won't return is shining.
Even a worn out heart will break...
Melancholically fleeting thoughts... In this Tragedy Night
