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.
At the first match of the qualifiers Miuradai had taken the lead over Shohoku,
Rukawa, Miyagi Ryota and Mitsui coming into the game
and quickly pulled the gap.
Sakuragi Hanamichi had a chance to shoot a free throw, but...
Hanamichi hadn't practiced shooting free throws.
Because of his nervousness, he committed a foul without even shooting the ball.
And giving up his shot just like that.
For his last shot, Hanamichi had an idea of using his rebounding skills, but...
#31 Formidable Enemy Miuradai's Secret Weapon
Wow, that was great!
Did you see that?
Incredible, who is that number 11?
Which number 11...
Shohoku's...
I heard he's only a freshman.
First year?
You're kidding, that can't be real!
I'm sure of it.
Is he really a first year student?
Rukawa!
You stole my ball!
You stole a genius's thunder!
You're despicable!
I don't care.
Rukawa really did it.
Is he really in his first year?
U... unbelievable!
On the other hand, Sakuragi still doesn't know what he's doing.
I just don't know what he's thinking.
Sakuragi...
You actually ruined genius Sakuragi's rebounding plan!
You damn beginner!
Don't you come near me, Rukawa!
Moron...
You are the beginner.
It's true that his actions are a mess...
doing everything against logic.
But his moves...
Good, it's a tie.
Tighten up the defense, stop them!
No one can match up to genius Sakuragi!
His moves are all over the place, not accordingly...
but, his actions are becoming more and more like a basketball player.
He played not even in one month's time.
It's only a tie, we can score more!
Don't even think about it!
Another good defensemen.
Hikoichi!
I have to investigate it!
Investigate...
That bastard!
Last year, after losing to the champion, Kainan High...
Within this year, we practiced hard to beat the Kainan.
How can we lose to Shohoku?!
So tall!
What?
Alright!
Yes, go for it!
Fast break!
I can't let Rukawa show off again!
I have to show them genius Sakuragi's genius ability!
Second time in a row!
That number 11 is incredible!
Great, we're taking the lead!
We've just started winning and have to keep on winning!
Better than I expected...
That's...
He's Tomigaoka Middle School's
Rukawa... Rukawa...
Rukawa Kaede.
The first half is just about over.
I wonder if Shohoku is winning.
Sakuragi was outstanding last time. He should get more playing time now.
Also...
Rukawa-kun... he's probably doing really well.
Akagi...
Big brother must be doing well to...
Akagi Haruko...
Yes...
Do you know what time is it for right now?
Mathematics.
It's English class.
S... sorry!
My god...
Unbelievable...
Unbelievable!
Three dunks in a row!
Rukawa-kun nice, unbelievable!
You're over exaggerating.
Where did you go, Sendo-san?
Rukawa-kun was really great just then!
I saw it, also just saw Kainan's Maki-san.
Maki-san! You said Maki-san?!
Yeah...
Damn, Kainan's Maki-san is the one that really need to observe.
Sendo-san, why didn't you tell me earlier? You're so bad!
You're too noisy, Hikoichi.
He should be somewhere around here.
You're really bad!
Hikoichi, you are really noisy.
So, Kainan's Maki came too...
First half over!
Yes, good job!
We've made a comeback.
Akagi-san, keep it up!
Nice, Rukawa!
Thanks...
Rukawa is working hard.
Not bad...
Damn...
Why is everybody talking about Rukawa?
I see.
Rukawa...
It was just like watching Sendo last year.
So tall...
But...
He's still fresh.
Maki Shinichi, captain of the Kainan High's basketball team.
Damn, Ryo-chin!
Yeah?
Why didn't you pass me the ball?
What? Oh, that...
What are you saying!
I know you favor Rukawa more!
That's rubbish.
You favor him, favor... favor... despicable!
Stupid, are you talking about what just happened?
At that time, that defenseman was waiting for me to pass you the ball.
You have any problems against my clever judgment?
Despicable, despicable, despicable!
I said "No!"
Are you two fighting?
Impossible. We have a strong team spirit!
Damn that Rukawa...
I won't let you show off again!
Yamato, speed it up more!
You are not rushing enough.
Yes!
From now on, it doesn't matter if we foul.
We can't be struggling in our first match, understand?
That's right.
When they get on the court, we didn't even score a single point.
Damn...
Listen carefully, everybody.
We are strong!
Qualifiers in Kanagawa...
keep on winning!
Yes!
What a joke...
Mitsui's nothing, a junior high MVP.
This isn't junior high.
That Rukawa's nothing, he is just in his first year.
Number 11, also that red head number 10...
We have to defeat them.
Miuradai's number 9, Naito Tetsuya, 196 cm, position: power forward.
Let's play basketball guys! You feel like the wind when you got the ball and go to the basket!
Let's go for it! It's cool to be with your brothers!
Let Naito play during second half.
Miyamoto, take a rest.
Y... yes.
It's up to you to beat Shohoku's basketball team, Naito.
Yes!
That's right! Naito was right, use our strength to defeat Shohoku!
Let's go!
Yes!
What?
Who is that guy?
He is really tall.
A new comer?
He is really big...
A monk playing basketball?
Who is that bald head?
Never knew Miuradai had such player.
Let me see... If I have it in my notes...
Who is he?
Is he a basketball player?
My name is Naito.
Naito Tetsuya.
Remember it.
Na... Na... Nattoo...
He's our secret weapon...
We specifically recruited him from the rugby team, just for this moment.
Come on, show them what you've got.
Let's go.
This is where the game really begins!
Yes!
I will defeat them.
He's stronger than Akagi!
Hey, Hanamichi!
Okay, leave it to me!
Rukawa-kun... Sakuragi-kun...
He didn't blow a whistle, it doesn't count as a foul.
How was that... this is where the game really begins.
What, that bald head is really scary.
He got away from Sakuragi-san just like that!
Unbelievable...
Good, his strength from playing rugby
and his foot work come from doing 100 meter dashes in 11 seconds.
Although he doesn't have much experience in basketball,
Naito is worthy of being our secret weapon.
Hanamichi, are you okay?
Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Is he hurt?
You bastard!
Stop it, Hanamichi!
You can't fight him.
Let go of me, Ryo-chin, Mit-chi.
He actually made a fool of me, genius Sakuragi!
Anzai-sensei is watching!
Don't lose your temper, Sakuragi!
Let go of me!
Calm down, Sakuragi!
You do want to play, don't you?
Gori...
Nothing, we can continue.
That's it, Gori...
You relying one me, this genius?
You are next.
Another idiot...
There are a variety of player out there.
I record it all.
It seems like circumstances have changed again.
Does Shohoku have to ability to change this?
It all depends on Rukawa.
My ball!
You deserve it!
Not again! Why doesn't he pay attention?
Who's foul is it?
Offensive charging. Foul on white number 10.
Why me?
Hey ref, he's the one who's at fault!
Shut up, Hanamichi!
You'll get kicked off the court!
Who told you to steal my ball? You deserved it, idiot.
It doesn't matter. Concentrate on the game.
But, Mit-chi...
I told you not to call me Mit-chi.
Is Hisa-chin any good? Hisai: lack of ability, incompetence]
Because it's Mitsui Hisashi...
Turning pale...
Mit-chi is better.
Sakuragi go get number 4.
I know.
Damn that skin head Nattoo bastard! He actually gave me, genius Sakuragi, a foul.
Naito!
Stand still, Nattoo!
Stupid! Get your man!
Stop that number 4!
It's that number 4, two dunks in a row!
Miuradai is really good!
They discovered Sakuragi's weakness, his inexperience.
This will hurt Sakuragi if this keeps up.
The one who can change the mood right now is Rukawa. A true ace can do it.
Rukawa's play is attracting everyone's attention.
A show all by himself, I can't see him playing as a team.
You've got to be more serious!
Concentrate on the game, and defend number 4!
Listen, don't let them taunt you.
But Gori, he...
Doesn't matter who it is, you only have to use all your effort, and that's it.
Too bad... he can't even do this.
Rukawa, you bastard...
A true ace is someone who can change the whole team's confidence by getting points.
Rukawa hasn't notice this yet. This is why he is still fresh.
Don't force it. Pass it to Akagi.
When did that...
What is he trying to do?
Dunk...?
I won't let you do it!
Sakuragi, stop!
How was that?
Foul on white number 10.
What?
Free throws for black number 9.
I can't believe genius Sakuragi let him get two foul shots.
Impossible...
He's rather inexperienced, I don't think he'll get it in.
Got in.
Good job, Naito!
Yes!
Tell you the truth, I can't believe we would need Naito so soon.
I wanted to wait until the finals, but...
We'll win for sure!
Impossible...
Second shot won't get in.
Won't go in, won't go in.
Got in again...
That guy is really good.
Game is a tie again.
We're back to the beginning.
Due to Miuradai's secret weapon Naito's incredible power,
Shohoku lost their rhythm.
Sakuragi falling in their trap gave away two foul shots.
Because of all this, the game is back where it started.
In the end, who will be the one that the goddess of victory smiles upon?
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
