-ANF- Animanga Nucleus Fansubs
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.
When Shohoku basketball team's spirit to dominate the nationals reaches its peak,
their biggest threat is upon them.
To seek revenge on Miyagi Ryota and to force basketball team to be dismissed,
3rd year student Mitsui has led a group of gangsters to the gym.
After Hanamichi's friends fought the gangsters,
Coach Anzai, someone that Mitsui deeply respects, appears in front of him.
Finally, he no longer could hide his feelings towards playing basketball.
Kogure, your defense is too weak.
Former middle school MVP Mitsui, has cut his long hair and returned to Shohoku basketball team.
Then...
To Sakuragi Hanamichi and to Shohoku basketball team,
their chance to fulfill their dream during the high school tournament has come.
And their first game is about to start.
The match between Shohoku and Miuradai basketball teams starts now.
Slam Dunk #29 Hanamichi's Official Debut!
It's starting, I must quickly record important points.
Hikoichi, can you be a little quieter?
Sorry, Koshino-san.
Shohoku ball.
Akagi is definitely a very good jumper.
If you compare his height, the only one that can jump ball with him is our Uozumi.
Alright! Let's score first.
Yes!
Rukawa is still on the bench, right now Shohoku hasn't brought their true power out yet.
You're right.
Hey pops, you are not going to keep me on the bench for the whole game, are you?
What secret weapon, it's just an excuse.
Hey, Pops.
This is your punishment for fighting.
Sensei.
Pops is mad. Mit-chi, think of a way, quick! It's all your fault.
Who are you calling Mit-chi?! What's more, how can you call Anzai-sensei, "Pops"?
You rude little punk.
Hanamichi, if you rate our skills, you should be on the bench.
There's nothing to argue about.
What did you say!? Ryo-chi!?
You actually said such rude words to the genius!?
If it wasn't you, we wouldn’t fight.
Three morons.
Rukawa!
You were the earliest one to fight! You asshole!
Who do you think you are!?
Bastard!
Calling senpai's morons?
Damn it...! You want to fight!?
Bullcrap.
What did you say!?
You guys! This is not the time to be arguing.
Take a look over there.
Didn't even notice that they're leading by 14 points.
It's 12 points.
Our defense is too weak, opponent gets the rebounds.
Right now, everyone is having difficulties playing with Miuradai.
Then does this mean...
Shohoku is Akagi's one man team.
As long as we beat Akagi, there is nothing to worry about.
We will have only one opponent, and that's the previous champions, Kainan.
Murasame!
Nice shot! Murasame.
Murasame, Murasame, Murasame!
No need for mercy! Take them out!
Before we play Kainan, we must not waste energy.
We must beat them with one blow.
How's it going, Akagi?
This year we are going to beat Kainan's basketball team and enter the national tournament.
Even if you Shohoku did beat Ryonan, you're still not better than us, Miuradai.
We're not a garbage team like Ryonan.
Ryonan is nothing compared to us.
Ryonan is nothing?
Akagi! What are you doing!?
That's right! Don't lose to them!
Who does think Miuradai they are?
Akagi-san, you guys are stronger than them.
Where's Rukawa!? Get Rukawa out here!
Ah man, so damn annoying.
This is getting bad, everyone's getting contained by Miuradai's spirit.
They're not even giving half of what they got during practice.
I can't blame them, this is their first battle.
Kogure-san.
Alright, calm down and score quickly.
Answer back!
Yes, yes.
It's no good, they can't even chant anything out.
It seems like they can't handle the pressure.
Pops definitely can't punish us for the whole game.
Ignoring that Rukawa.
But he'll have to depend on a genius like me sooner or later.
Guard the key! Trap him! Trap him!
Damn it.
What's going on!?
Akagi-senpai is being guarded closely.
Right now we must get someone else out there.
When will pops get over it?
What is that Akagi doing down there?
Why doesn't Shohoku send Rukawa or Sakuragi out?
Who knows...
Damn it! Gori! Fast break!
No, there must be a reason. But what is it?
What?!
What are you doing?
Move quickly! Quick!
Who are those two?
They're not in my notebook.
Pay more attention!
Not that way! That way!
From their appearance, they don't look like first year students.
But during our practice match, they did not show their faces.
There is no info on them, who can they be?
We'll lose if we keep this up, everyone's losing to the pressure.
Their bodies are doing what they want it to.
No matter how tense Akagi is being guarded, we can only rely his rebounds.
Megane-kun's 3 point shot. (Megane: Glasses)
No good, it's too far.
No, he's aiming for the boards.
He's trying to use Akagi for rebound shots.
Akagi!
He got it!
Nice, Gori!
Now we are talking!
Akagi, it's no good.
Pushing, number 4!
When did I foul him!?
Forget it, Murasame.
Going against a one man team is too easy.
No matter how good that person is, as long as we beat him then it's okay.
Damn it.
Good, that's the way.
Let him take those foul shots.
As long as we keep this pressure up, we will win for sure.
Enemies don't care if they foul Akagi-senpai, they just want to keep the pressure up.
They have underestimated us.
They think Akagi is Shohoku's one man team.
Well, they're wrong.
Burning up, it's burning up!
Shohoku bench's, Rukawa-kun and Sakuragi-san,
with mysterious boys A and B.
It looks like something bad is going to happen.
I must investigate this! There is a lot to check during this match!
I don't think Shohoku's going to lose their first match.
How's it going, Sendo?
How is Shohoku basketball team doing?
You are Kainan's...
Maki-san?
Let's play basketball guys! You'll feel like the wind when you've got the ball and go to the basket!
Let's go for it! It's cool to be with your brothers!
[ Kainan High ] [ Shinichi Maki ]
Hey, Sendo. [ Kainan High ] [ Shinichi Maki ]
Champion team Kainan's captain personally came?
Who are you watching? Miuradai or...
Whoever it is, it makes no difference to me.
Even if it's Ryonan.
Is that right...?
Well, this year you might experience a hard battle.
By using this, then it can be solved.
Next is...
I wonder how big brother is doing.
Did they win? Or...
Big brother and Rukawa-kun, both will get 30 points.
Then Mitsui-san and Miyagi-san will get 10 points each.
No, it should be 15 points each.
Then Kogure-san will get another 10 points, and that's 100 points.
And if Sakuragi-kun works hard...
No problem, they won't lose.
Nice shot, Akagi!
It's our captain Akagi alright! He's got 2 shots in.
That Akagi...
...during my absence, his free throws have gotten better.
Let's go! We can get another point.
His actions are making everyone trust him.
This has become Akagi's confidence source.
Hey little boy, I'm going to pass you. I'm going to get by you.
This jerk.
Alright! Nice shot!
Great job! That's 22 points.
Go for it, Miuradai!
What are they doing!?
Pops, pops, that's enough.
We're already really sorry for what we've done.
Sensei.
Can't wait any longer.
This responsibility is just too much for me.
I think, taking me off is actually better...
Idiots!
If you lose your spirit, then that's practically losing.
Right now you guys are battling with yourselves.
Akagi.
Get back to defense! Don't let Akagi shoot the ball!
Alright!
Gorilla dunk!
Amazing! What a combination!
Last year's Shohoku occasionally used this partner pass to score points.
It seems that Akagi and them are back to normal.
Alright!
Go captain Akagi!
Damn it, what kind of guy is Akagi?
We cannot lose our confidence to them!
Great, that previous shot has brought everyone's spirit back.
Defense! Go defense!
Yes! Wait for me!
I am too, an official Shohoku's basketball team member.
I am one also.
Damn, this guy.
Clumsy, what are you even doing?
I am one also!
Damn.
Good dive, Shiozaki.
You did also well, Yasuda.
Alright, I can't lose to them.
Don't push it.
If you guys go on like this, I won't have a chance to play.
The problem starts now.
With their speed, we definitely can't pull a tie.
Akagi and Kogure's team strategy has already been discovered by Miuradai.
Damn.
You guys...
...have you learned from your mistakes?
Sensei.
Pops.
Will you ever fight again?
Of course not, pops! Why would we ever fight again!?
I, Sakuragi, am a peacemaker.
Stop!
White number 5, charging!
Kogure-senpai
I'll never fight again.
Maybe.
I'll never dare to fight again.
Member change, Shohoku.
The winning men have arrived!
You're going to be finished now!
It's Sakuragi with Rukawa...
...they've finally out.
And there is still mysterious A and B.
Isn't that point guard Miyagi?
Never seen him before.
Which one?
The shorter one, number 7.
Number 7?
The mysterious A guy, is actually guard Miyagi.
But then... who is the other one? Who's mysterious B?
Well done, Kaku.
You can leave the rest to this genius, I'll take care of it.
You made me lose a lot of playing time, Yasu.
It's up to you, Rukawa.
Even if you're captain...
...I have no intention in giving up MVP's position, Akagi.
This punk...
Wait, that number 14. Where have I seen him before?
Listen up! I will single-handedly defeat all you guys.
What was that?
Where did this punk ass come from?
Geez...
...leading this group of junior campers is not that easy.
Shohoku's troublesome junior campers have arrived.
There are no more people that more reliable than them.
I have to investigate!
So noisy.
Okay, let me guard this number 10 punk then.
You want to guard a genius like me?
If you got what it takes, then bring it on.
What!?
I can't believe it, still bluffing.
You have no proof in your skills.
Mit-chi!
Rukawa!
Concentrate on the match!
Sakuragi...
Don't hold us back.
Alright, let's start our counter attack! Let's go full force!
Yes!
Shohoku's best players have finally arrived.
Facing a strong opponent like Miuradai...
...are they good enough to make a comeback?
I'm all alone in the big city,
thrown away like an empty can.
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 the countless nights.
Why does the past destroys
even the worn-out heart that shines?
Melancholically feeling thoughts... on this tragedy night.
