-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.
This burning feelings I want you to catch.
The first round of the district championship began
with Shohoku's basketball team matching up against Miuradai,
and their secret weapon Naito's power giving them some trouble.
Rukawa being able to see that Naito's weakness that he can only rush in a straight line,
Giving Shohoku full advantage of the match.
With four minutes remaining
Sakuragi Hanamichi used all of his strength for this one dunk that
exploded!
You did that on purpose! You did that on purpose!
No, no, that's not true!
In his first official match Sakuragi had a score of 0,
and during the second half he was fouled out.
As a result, giving him a bitter memory.
Alright!
We won our first round of the competition.
The second round is against Kakuno High.
Although they don't have any outstanding players,
their team work is good.
Slam Dunk #33 Foul-out King!? Sakuragi Hanamichi
Yo, Hanamichi!
Yesterday was very memorable moment, your first official foul-out.
Trying to take it out on me, but I'm Takamiya Nozomi.
I won't always let you beat me up, Hanamichi.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, you have the guts to tell a lie?
Hey, hey, hey...
Damn it, you didn't get any points!
What are you talking about?
Shut up, you zero point player!
He's so pissed off, that bastard is always like this after a match...
Wanna fight?
What, you don't want to fight, Hanamichi?
Damn it, if this goes on, I will never be able to face Haruko-san.
She has so much hope for me.
Sakuragi-kun...
Haruko-san...
Sakuragi-kun, I heard you were pretty active during yesterday's match.
Yeah...
My brother said that you're working hard in your own way.
My own way...
No, I...
Don't worry about it, this was your first match.
Of course, you won't be able to flourish when you play.
No, but... I didn't get a single point.
That doesn't matter.
This is because that you haven't gotten use to competing.
You'll do better as you go on.
Is that true?
Yeah, you've got to have confidence.
If you work harder, you'll do better in a match.
Is that true?
Of course!
Didn't I say before that Sakuragi-kun was discovered by me?
My eyes can't be wrong.
Haruko-san...
Work harder next time.
Yes!
Just leave it to me, Haruko-san!
I'm genius basketball player, Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Next time I will definitely dunk for you!
For Haruko-san!
That's the spirit, Sakuragi-kun.
I can't believe Haruko-san is this gentle.
Okay, next time I'll try harder!
So big...
I can't believe that Akagi looks so big up close.
Really strong...
Look, it's the freshman, Rukawa-kun!
Rukawa-kun, so tall...
So cool...
Shohoku's sure got some strange characters...
It's him, that red head!
I heard he dunked on some guy's head!
What, on head? Is he an actually basketball player?
I heard he hit some guy's head with a dunk!
No way! So scary!
Damn...
Okay, everyone, let's go get some points!
Yeah!
Hey Pops, I didn't fight, why, do I have to be benched?
Be patient, Sakuragi Hanamichi, you'll get your chance.
Just wait your turn.
They've started already!
What is that red head is being benched?
Of course, he's the one who dunked on someone's head.
This is only the second round and there's this much spectators?
Okay...
Oh? Aren't they from Kainan?
Kainan! It's Kainan's Jin, second year Jin.
That one, who is he?
What? I'm the number one rookie, Kiyota Nobunaga.
Number one rookie...
Who is that damn kid?
Even Kainan's players are watching.
You'll only meet up with Kainan if you ever get into finals.
This means we are being thought of as a worthy team.
After the battle against Miuradai,
we've become then black horse that everybody is looking out for.
Good, let's start!
Now we'll start the match, Kakuno against Shohoku.
Ryota!
Alright, fast break!
Yeah, we just started and we've got a three pointer!
Yeah, Mit-chi, you should be satisfied now!
It's my turn!
Give me a break and be quiet!
So tall...
The game is already started...
I guess I can only watch the second half...
There is another tall guy coming!
Shoyo...
Shohoku member change.
That read head is going to play.
Yeah but he's just a crazy dunker!
Game is under our control!
Don't mess us up, Sakuragi!
Megane-kun, leave it to this genius!
Don't worry about it.
Under the basket is my domain.
Charging, red number 10!
He's got in for 10 seconds and committed a foul...
I really don't know if this is Sakuragi's style, or...
Doesn't matter! Doesn't matter!
You still have four chances Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Watch out for the fouls!
You're rushing it!
But, I have to successfully do one slam dunk.
Moron...
Rukawa...
Damn it, what kinda joke is this!
How can a genus like me lose to Rukawa!
I have to get some points, let them know that I'm a genius!
Defense, get ready for rebound!
Red, number 10!
He's done it again...
Stupid...
The other 3 fouls is just a matter of time...
How interesting...
Let's play basketball guys. You feel like the wind when you got the ball and go for the basket.
Let's go for it. It's good to be with your brothers.
A... amazing!
Shohoku is really amazing!
Is this real?
Last 1 minute!
Fight!
Damn, that ref doesn't like me very much.
One minute left, watch out for the fouls!
Damn, why is it only me
I can't stand it...
Let's get this over with.
It's a good thing I came,
Hanagata.
I'm doing fine, Uozumi.
Too bad their opponent is so weak.
If we were them, we would've gotten 200 points.
Maybe...
Time's up.
Yeah, we won the second round.
Koshino...
Uozumi-san...
What's with Sakuragi? He didn't play?
No, he did...
but he didn't do anything and top of that, he got 5 fouls.
Again...
Sakuragi Hanamichi, you just need more experience.
Once you get more experience you'll understand.
That's right, Sakuragi.
Damn, what luck, meeting up with this ref that keeps blowing the whistle.
I can't believe he actually blew the whistle at a genius...
If this keeps up I won't be able to face Haruko-san.
I was the one who found Sakuragi-kun.
My eyes won't be wrong.
Haruko-san...
Maybe... I'm not a genius...
One more bowl!
You sure have a big appetite, big brother.
How many bowls is this?
Of course, I'm always hunger after a game.
You guys were amazing today.
You got more than 100 points!
136 points, actually...
But...
We won't like this forever.
Oh, sorry...
We have to be the first this year.
That's right.
Mom, you should go watch the game. You too, dad.
That will be great.
This year, Shohoku is really amazing.
Next time I'll come cheer you on, big brother!
This is sunday!
Another bowl!
That was quick...
Who can that be, so late.
It probably just the newspaper salesman...
Right? Big brother?
Geez...
Sorry big brother, always troubling you.
Haruko, give me more this time.
No way...
So noisy...
I don't want the newspaper!
Newspaper?
What, it's you...
What are you doing, Saku...
Quiet, Haruko-san will hear us.
You haven't gone home yet?
I won't treat supper...
If I'd known, I wouldn't come to Gori's home.
He's so unwelcoming...
Is...
Is there a secret to not being kicked off the court?
And I thought I would never come here.
You're all better now...
You should have no problems playing basketball.
Even if I meet a stronger opponent...
I will not lose.
This Mitsui Hisashi is changed.
Tetsuo...
Mitsui...?
You're joking.
There isn't such secret.
No matter how amazing you are, you might get disqualified from a game.
N... no, but...
Listen, Sakuragi!
The difference between foul and good defense is as thin as a piece of paper.
That's why defense is something that you need to work hard.
You have to train hard everyday.
That's why everyday we need to work on our foot work.
Which is also the thing you hate.
Foot work...
Defense is not something that I can just tell you.
But, I can't be disqualified again.
Then you have to think how to keep your opponent from having a chance of escaping.
You can't always think of a way to score and show off.
Right now we're only in the second round of the competition, and you already committed 10 fouls.
Under what circumstances will they blow a whistle and call a foul...
you should think that carefully.
That salesman sure was patient...
The ones from the past always ran away when they saw big brother.
That bastard sure has the guts.
If he weren't like that, I'll be worried.
I'm afraid he's going to be the key in the upcoming games.
Along with one other person...
Tetsuo...
I was just checking up.
What's up with your hair?
You look like a sportsman...
Well that's suits you.
Tetsuo...
They finally caught up.
I hate wearing a helmet.
See you, sports boy.
The motorist in the front, stop!
The one with no helmet!
The motorist in the front, stop!
The one not wearing the helmet, stop!
See you, Tetsuo.
So cold tonight.
Damn, that Gori, what was he talking about?
Looking down on a genius!
You'd better watch it!
Yes, I'm a genius, I should be a genius.
That's right.
Who is it...?
Rukawa...
Hey!
I won't be disqualified next time!
I'll get more points than you!
Do you understand, Rukawa!
Damn, come on!
I'll let you all know the skills of the genius Sakuragi!
There is little time left before the third round of the district championship.
Will Sakuragi be disqualified again?
Genius Sakuragi!
Danger seems to be awaiting for Tetsuo, Mitsui's old buddy.
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
