-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.

At the 5th game of the regional championship,
in the fight to enter the finals, Shohoku play against Shoyo.
Shoyo's star player and coach Fujima has entered the game
and the battle between them reaches its peak.
During the time out that Shohoku call,
with Coach Anzai's words, Shohoku renewed it's determination.
They want to use the last ten minutes to make a come back.
Do you still remember the words I said before the match?
Of course!
We are strong!
Excellent...
At the same time, on the Shoyo's bench,
the player who had faced Mitsui in junior high, Hasegawa.
made a suggestion to Fujima to let him mark Mitsui while team play box and one.
Can you stop him?
Don't forget the opponent was a MVP once.
Leave him to me.
Let's go!
Okay!
Alright, let's go!
Go on to the court and defeat them.
Yes!
#43 Has Mitsui Reached His Limit!?
Mitsui...
I can't drink anymore.
Sensei... Look at Mitsui...
How about letting Mitsui take a rest?
He appears very tired.
That's right.
Even though he was a super star during his junior high days,
He has not played basketball for 2 years.
On top of that, the opponent is Shoyo.
It's natural to be tired.
I will go and make the substitution.
Kogure-kun...
He will not agree to take a break.
Sensei...
Mitsui...
We must stretch Shoyo's defense zones.
Everyone will try their best to pass the ball to you.
We are all depending on your 3-point shots.
What arrogant words, Akagi.
Who do you think you are talking to?
I'm talking to you.
Me too...
Pass the ball to me.
I got 2 points, Rukawa got 14 points.
That is because, you guys pass the ball to Rukawa instead of me.
This is not fair! Pass the ball to me!
You can't possible score as much as Rukawa.
Wait 10 more years, you idiot.
What did you say...?
Nobody will count on your "miss-every-shot" shooting technique.
What are you saying...?
The important thing is that you grab the rebound.
Your performance under the boards is still slightly worth looking forward to.
Grab a few more...
Rukawa...
I too wish that you would foul out.
Understand?
What did you say?
Let's go, Hanamichi.
Ryo-chin...
After this match, your rebounding technique will be well known in the whole region.
Okay, let's go!
The defense will follow what was discussed earlier.
Yeah!
One of the best in the whole region!
Look at that confident expression on his face.
Someone must have said something to him.
Like "you are a genius" or something.
I... can't drink anymore.
Leave this game to me.
Defense, defense, defense...
Leave the rebounds to me...
There is only 10 minutes left.
Ryota, calm down.
Everyone take your positions.
Captain!
Akagi!
Being blocked by 3 opponents, each over 190 cm tall,
Akagi-senpai can't do anything even if though he is good!
Mitsui!
Help me draw these people away!
Mitsui...
Three pointer!
Kazushi!
Nice block, Hasegawa.
Great! Alright!
Mit-chi...
Damn!
Box and the one.
That's right. Shoyo is using zone defense.
Only, number 6 Hasegawa mark Mitsui.
This is done deliberately to restrict Mitsui's 3 point shooting ability.
But...
That block is really good.
That number 6 doesn't look impressive,
however, his movements are really agile.
Mitsui-san actually gets under severe pressure.
From the look of things, this match is getting harder to play.
At this point they will rely on our cheering to suppress the morale of the opponents.
Shohoku! Shohoku! Sho...
Okay, continue to stop them, right?
Yes!
Don't mind, Mit-chi.
With the top player Sakuragi here on Shohoku,
we can't possibly lose!
Leave everything to me, the best rebounder in the region, the genius Sakuragi.
I will not tolerate the fact that Rukawa leads in points scored,
but to ask me to score 14 points in a row seems a bit impossible.
Even so...
I shall leave Rukawa speechless and Shoyo defeated with my excellent shooting!
That is to say...
Great!
Defense... Defense... Defense...
Go! Go!
Mitsui-san, bidding to beat the opponent's box and one defense,
is on the move constantly.
In the end, he is wearing himself down even more.
Also this is the first time in high school Mitsui playing as starting member.
He hasn’t had a competitive match for 40 minutes.
That kind of exhaustion can't be compared to junior high times.
The ones who are holding the key to victory in this match
are Sakuragi-kun and Mitsui-kun.
These two...
Eh?
I want to score to silence Rukawa.
Don't keep looking all over the place, you idiot.
I think the fact that the match has lasted until now...
much of its due to Sakuragi-kun's unexpected gameplay.
His rebounds really make tall opponnents ineffective under the board.
But to rely on that alone to win is not possible.
Winning this match from now on... requires Mitsui-kun's shooting prowess.
Damn, can't get rid of him!
Damn!
Regardless of how tired his body is, he cannot drop out of the game.
This guy...
Did he really lose to me during junior high?
What kind of player is he?
Showing such agility while marking me. I couldn't have possibly forgotten that.

Let's play basketball guys!
You feel like the wind when you got the ball and go to the basket.
www.animanga.gen.tr
Let's go for it! It's cool to be with your brothers.
With your ability, you can't possibly stop me.
Damn...
Damn it...
Mitsui Hisashi...
You can't defeat me!
What?
You are saying that I can't defeat you?
That is...
Isn't that...
Mitsui Hisashi...
What's up with this guy?
Do any of you know him?
I don't know him at all.
What are you looking at, you bastard?
You can't defeat me.
Someone who once give up on basketball
can't possibly defeat me.
Kazushi...
In the past 3 years, you have trained harder than anyone else.
What you need now is confidence.
You must have confidence.
In this world, there is no one else who can defeat you.
You take the high school basketball world too lightly.
Mitsui!
Did you know that,
he is Takeishi junior high's Mitsui Hisashi,
the one who got the MVP title.
Do you know him?
I know. I once had to experience of playing against him during middle school.
The Mitsui from that time was unstoppable, with outstanding shooting skills.
But at that time, Mitsui was at his peak.
He doesn't have that ability anymore.
I won't let him score more then 5 points.
Who was that!?
I was actually...
criticized by some unnamed and unseen guy.
Just once will shut up Rukawa....
Leaving Shoyo speechless with my shooting...
Hanamichi!
I must score a slam dunk.
I mut score a slam dunk...
Sakuragi, pass the ball to me!
Hanamichi, what are you doing?
Sakuragi-kun!
Mitsui!
Damn, you said you won’t let me more than 5 points before the match, didn't you?
I scored 5 points only during the first half.
Only 5. You can forget scoring on the second half.
Don't look down on others.
The path of the ball is wrong, so is the strength used. It will never go in.
Rebound!
Leave it to me, to Sakuragi!
Hanagata and Sakuragi are both going for the rebound.
Who will get the rebound? Will it be Sakuragi-san or Hanagata-san?
Hanagata is 197 cm tall.
Sakuragi is only 188 cm tall.
The height difference is too great.
Just based on this calculation,
Sakuragi must out jump Hanagata by 9 cm or more.
But, Sakuragi is someone who defies all calculations.
As long as I don't let him come in...
I am not afraid of such a small guy.
You can't pass me.
What?
Sakuragi-kun!
Marvelous, Rebound King Sakuragi!
Sa... Sakuragi-san got the ball!
I actually don't notice any 9 cm height difference.
He screened out Hanagata.
He really defies predictions.
Impossible...
How could I lose to this guy?
He's going to steal the ball, be careful, Hanamichi!
Offensive foul!
Hanagata!
White, number 10.
Hanagata! Hanagata!
I already have 4 fouls.
Sakuragi Hanamichi...
He already has 4 fouls.
Sensei...
Referee timeout.
It must be painful.
He got hit in the face by Hanamichi's inhumane strength.
But Hanamichi is in distress now.
With that foul...
If he commits one more foul, he will foul out.
At this important time, if the team loses Sakuragi-kun,
what will happen to Shohoku?
Shoyo faces the same dilemma.
From the look of things, Hanagata can't continue playing.
Hanagata, are you okay?
Itou, you come and take over.
Y... yes!
If we lose Hanagata at this time, we will be in trouble.
He is an important player in the center.
Under the circumstances, Sakuragi has committed four fouls.
Hanagata...
Let's win this match and enter the finals.
Play to best of our abilities and defeat Shohoku!
Yes!
Go! Play hard! Hanagata!
This accident marks a crucial point, with the game once again swaying in favor of Shoyo.
At the same time, Shohoku's Sakuragi Hanamichi's contributions in the center...
One more time and I will have to leave the court.
I must try my best to avoid that.
Giving up his aggressive style of play
he loses the ability to get any rebounds.
And with the flamboyant style of Shoyo
scoring one basket after another from inside.
Shohoku can only rely on Rukawa to score the points,
reducing the deficit with crucial baskets.
There is only 5 minutes left in the game and the deficit has increased to 12 points.
12 points.
I told you before,
you can only score 5 points.
Damn.
Mitsui... Sakuragi...
You two must do your best.
The outcome of this match
depends on both of you.
With an exhausted Mitsui
and Sakuragi Hanamichi at the risk of being dismissed with one more foul,
will Shohoku lose the game just like this?
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.
