-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.

During the last two exciting minutes of the match
With Hanamichi's rebound and
Rukawa's shot, Shohoku finally led the game.
In the last moments, Sakuragi Hanamichi's dunked.

Offensive charging! White number 10!
Hanamichi was dismissed.
and his awesome dunk didn't count.
However, most of the cheers went to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
We won!
Thus, against number 2 seeded team Shoyo
Shohoku used all their might until the bitter end.
With that, Shohoku finally won the playoff spot.
#47 Challenge from a Rival
Sakuragi-kun, do you know what a slam dunk is?
Amazing...
That's great, Sakuragi-kun!
Even though the ball didn't go in, you jumped really high!
Sakuragi-kun, you should joint the basketball team! You must!
What are you staring at?
What the hell?
Even if you can't sleep and woke up early,
you shouldn't cause me to lose sleep too.
Three point shot!
Go, go, Hanamichi! Go!
Use you body to block him Hanagata!
With his lame skills, he won't be able to score.
I'll stop you.
Yohei, I was pretty good yesterday, wasn't I?
Didn't you hear crowd's cheers?
Sakuragi! Sakuragi! Sakuragi!
I feel like I'm improving.
Aren't you a genius?
I'm glad that I'm a genius.
Haruko-san.
Gori...
Haruko-san, did you see my performance yesterday?
What are you doing, coming to practice this early in the morning?
Is it because you got fouled out?
I should ask you why you are here this early.
I am here this early everyday.
Sakuragi-kun, going into the semifinals has gotten you so energetic.
I'm serious. I saw the report on yesterday's game, I am excited too.
Idiot! This kid can't possibly read the papers.
You haven't read it?
Newspaper?
Right, this one.
Extra! Extra!
Look at the today's newspaper's headline.
Basketball team made into the semifinals.
That's a dunk.
So cool, they actually made it to the newspaper.
Freshmen Sakuragi-kun is now famous.
It's hard to believe he is on the news paper and goes to the same school as we do.
Is that so?
So he is not just a regular moron.
I didn't know that moron is playing basketball.
Yeah, yeah, that moron.
You! What were you saying?
Ce...celebrity...
That's right.
I am famous now. I can't be violent.
That's because I am a celebrity, celebrity!
What the hell are you so proud of?
What are you two fighting about?
What's this?
Damn, they can't treat a celebrity like this.
Damn you, Rukawa!
The best players of the basketball team are here.
Full of finesse.
Akagi, this year we can enter the inter-high finals.
What?
Work hard, basketball team.
This year you can do it.
We are counting on you, Akagi.
Basketball team, stop showing off.
Sakuragi, I heard you got dismissed again yesterday.
Just a light push and you are dismissed.
Don't you think basketball is a weak sport?
Ahh, why did you crumble the celebrity...
Sakuragi, join the judo team, it's not too late.
Idiot, I am the genius who will lead the basketball team to victory.
We'll be depending on you, Sakuragi.
Don't forget you said that.
And, after appearing on newspaper, I'll be on TV next.
Keep up the good work, Sakuragi!
You must win the tournament!
Shohoku is number 1!
Thank you everyone.
I will never give up, Sakuragi.
Ryo-chin, pass pass!
Alright!
Next time I will score a lot.
Genius Sakuragi's slam dunk!
Don't be so cocky!
Damn, Gori, you...
If you think that you can dunk in the semifinals like yesterday, then you are wrong.
You have to practice harder, Sakuragi.
Gori...
Everyone, listen up!
Do not go soft just because we are in the semifinals.
Starting now, every match will be more difficult than the last one.
Also there's no point in being 3rd or the 4th.
Remember this, if we want to attend the Nationals, we have to be first or second.
Yeah!
I don't want to be the second, I want to be the first!
Moron...
Right now, Ryonan, Takezato and we are in the finals.
The only area that has not been decided is A block.
It's either Kainan or Takezono. We can only await the results of their match.
It's obviously going to be Kainan, Kogure.
Takezono is pretty good, but with Kainan, that's a different story.
I think so.
No matter what, we can only practice harder. Everyone run!
Megane-kun, Kainan is going to win in A block for sure?
Is it possible for them to lose to Takezono?
I don't think that's possible, Kainan has the best chance for victory in the semifinals.
They are number one in Kanagawa, they can't lose in the qualifying round.
Sakuragi, you still remember right? We played Takezono in a practice game.
We won by 3 points and we didn't have Mitsui or Miyagi.
Thus, there should be a huge difference between Takezono and Kainan.
Speaking of which, isn't Takezono's center Oda is from Wakou middle school like you?
Isn't that right, Sakuragi?
Huh?
I'm sorry Sakuragi-kun, but I like Oda-kun from the basketball team.
I failed!
Sakuragi...
Nothing, nothing...
I don't care if Kainan or Takezono makes it. I really don't care.
I don't care who the enemy is, genius Sakuragi will defeat them.
Takezono High School
I must defeat Kainan and enter the finals.
Just you wait, Sakuragi.

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!
Bring it on, this time I will...
Alright!
Nice shot!
Everyone has high spirit and full of confidence.
It's not unbelievable, we even defeated Shoyo.
I can't wait to see the semifinals.
Haruko-chan, is Kainan really that strong?
That's right,
They've been in the finals for 16 years in a row. They are the strongest team.
If Shohoku plays Kainan, we will definitely lose badly.
Sorry, I shouldn't say such negative things. It would be bad if my brother hears me.
Fight Shohoku!
Looks like Takezono will never make it.
We won't be able to see a nice show between Shohoku and Takezono.
If Takezono defeats Kainan, we can see Hanamichi go against Oda, that pair of rivals.
Who are rivals?
Hanamichi used to be after Oda's current girlfriend Yohko-chan during Junior High.
Idiot, don't say too much!
What's going on?
Nothing, nothing.
It's unfortunate, Oda.
If you can enter the finals, then we can finally have a conclusion.
Oda-kun!
Oda-kun! Go for it!
Oda-kun!
Are you okay, Oda?
I'm fine. I just slipped from the sweat on the floor.
That scared me. Be careful, don't force it.
With the match coming soon, if our ace gets hurt, then we are in trouble.
Yes!
You are the key to our victory for the upcoming match.
Aizumi-san...
Kainan scores well, we need to strengthen our defense.
If we leave it like this, we might not a stand a chance.
Oda, you are our hope.
Everyone, listen up!
Everyone thinks the next game belongs to Kainan,
but I don't feel that way.
We still have a chance,
just like how Shohoku defeated the region's 2nd best team, Shoyo.
Takezono also has potential to defeat the region's no 1 team, Kainan.
We'll let everyone see.
Yeah!
I'm counting on you, Oda.
Yes, captain.
Alright everyone, rest for 5 minutes, then we'll continue practice.
Yes!
Oda-kun.
Oda-kun!
Yohko.
Why are you bandaged!?
It's nothing, just a little injury from a previous match.
Are you sure?
Don't worry. I'm fine.
For injuries like these, all I need is athletic tape and it will be fine.
No, you have to let a doctor examine it. What if the injury gets worse?
Okay, I know. I will go, but not until the end of this match.
I have to return to practice.
Oda-kun!
No, you can't! You are hurt, don't play in the match either.
Don't be stupid!
I will not lose to this small injury.
I have to defeat Kainan and have a rematch with Sakuragi.
With Sakuragi-kun?
During Shohoku's practice game, I thought Sakuragi was a punk.
Sakuragi, punks like you aren't fit to play basketball.
Don't insult basketball anymore and quit.
What did you say?
Sakuragi-kun!
Bastard!
Don't do it, Sakuragi-kun!
Damn...
I will say it again, I won't let you insult basketball.
Fight me like a man!
But... even though I started basketball in junior high,
after my game with him, I became more passionate about basketball.
I hope that one day, I can play against Sakuragi again.
Now, Sakuragi fought his way into the finals.
I have to practice harder and defeat him!
Don't tell anyone else about my injury.
I don't want captain and the others to worry about me.
You must try to understand, Yohko.
I will be alright.
See you later.
Oda-kun.
So full, so full.
Even with all that hunger after practice,
did you have to eat 5 bowls of ramen ?
But someone didn't do anything and still ate four bowls, right?
Of course, I get hungry cheering on the side line.
We're lucky Shohoku is performing well.
The owner of the noodle shop gave us so many free gyoza. (Gyoza: Chinese dumplings)
I brought that fortune.
You have to thank me sincerely because I am the celebrity.
He seems happy enough to be in heaven.
He completely forgot that he's been fouled out 5 times in a row.
Today I walk. Tomorrow, I also walk.
Genius Sakuragi, go, go, go...
Hey Hanamichi, why does Haruko-san like basketball?
When Shohoku beat Shoyo, she was so happy as if it was her victory too.
That's because Haruko-san looks up to me.
Sakuragi-kun.
Hanamichi, we also look up to you.
Thank you!
Target is, six foul outs in a row!
Damn you all!
Oh, I remember Haruko-chan said that Takezono can't beat Kainan.
Oda has some bad luck to be meeting Kainan.
Yohko-chan must be cheering him on.
That's right, Oda is lucky to have that girl.
Unlike somebody ho is still secretly admiring someone.
Are you guys talking about me?
You moron, Takamiya!
You said the worst possible thing that could be said.
That's bad. Run!
You bastards, hold it right there!
Takamiya, you damn idiot!
Run faster, run!
I am going to kill you all!
Hurry, run!
Stop running!
Sakuragi-kun!
Yo... Yohko-san...
What's going on?
Check it out, Hanamichi is such a nervous wreck, it's hilarious.
If Haruko comes by, that would be fun to watch.
Oh? Yohei-kun what are you doing here?
Ha... Haruko-chan, didn't you already go home?
I was doing homework at my friend's house.
What are you guys doing?
Ah? Sakuragi-kun?
Haruko-san!
Oh no!
Sakuragi Hanamichi is full of spirit as he is getting ready for the finals.
He unites with the 50th girl who rejected him in junior high.
Unfortunately, Haruko saw this reunion.
and he is now placed in the most awkward moment of his life.
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.
