-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 finals of the inter-high preliminaries
first stage of the competition has begun.
The team that Shohoku play is
Champion Kainan, who has entered the national inter-high competition for 16 years consecutively.
Kainan's coach, Takato, saw through Sakuragi Hanamichi's weaknesses
plunging Shohoku into a crisis...
But, under Rukawa and Akagi's confident play
Shohoku started to catch up.
But, just then...
Akagi, Shohoku's ace, received an injury.
and Shohoku once again plunged into a major crisis.
No way! You can't even stand.
I want to return to the game.
For all you know, your bones may be injured.
I don't care! Just bandage it!
Even if the bone is broken and even if I can't walk,
I fought hard to earn this chance.
Senpai...
Defeat Kainan!
Now that Akagi is injured, Shohoku is in trouble.
In order to fill the void left by Akagi,
Sakuragi Hanamichi becomes inspired.
I am the King Kong's younger brother!
Haruko-chan.
Amazing! Sakuragi-kun is really amazing!
So he says that he's the "King Kong's younger brother".
He's quite cute, right? Senpai...
On the other hand Ryonan,
won the match against Takezato with a score of over 100.
From the look of things, they seem like the best contender for the nationals.
Hey!
Rukawa...
Does he shoot?
Thus, in the first half, with just 2 minutes remaining,
Basketball Digest's female reporter, Aida Yayoi
calmly analyzed Rukawa's playing style.
Rukawa Kaede's weakness...
Is his selfish playing style, playing too individually.
But...
Rukawa is leading Shohoku to fight back at this very moment.
Only 5 points of difference!
From an initial gap of over 10 points,
in just a short time has been narrowed to 5 points.
That number 11 is amazing!
#55 The Guy Who Dominates the Game
Nice Rukawa. Well done!
Rukawa, we are indeed fortunate to have you on our team.
I had never imagined that, aside from Akagi,
we would actually have someone else that we could rely on.
It is a huge improvement from the past when Akagi was a one man team
Damn...
I won't lose to him...
5... only 5 points...
This is really amazing.
That person...
Was he really on our team last year, senpai?
Of course.
At this time last year,
he was wearing the same Tomigaoka middle school basketball uniform as us.
At that time, he was rather fierce and unapproachable.
He was also quiet, like now.
Leading the team forward with his great ball skills.
I am...
fortunate to have entered Tomigaoka High.
Senpai! Rukawa-senpai! There is only 5 points!
Fight Rukawa-senpai!
It's them.
Oh no, a counter attack.
That's nothing. There is still 1 minute left in the first half.
Go, go Shohoku! Fight, fight Shohoku!
Go, go Shohoku!
Fight, fight Shohoku!
Rukawa...
Rukawa-san! Rukawa!
Great! The ball was passed to Rukawa, and everyone cheer for him!
It is almost the same for Ryonan's Sendoh...
Rukawa...
Rukawa-senpai, go!
Rukawa, Rukawa...
Shut up!
Rukawa, Rukawa!
Rukawa-kun...
Rukawa! Rukawa!
Damn, why everybody cheering for him.
What?
He got passed!
You cannot let him shoot, Takasago!
Great! That's great!
Amazing...
I had always thought that he was only the best among the freshman.
I never thought that he was this good.
Usually, he is disrespectful.
Also withdrawn and quiet, he doesn't show much expression.
But he is really amazing.
He single handedly fights with Kainan.
Okay, that's great Rukawa.
Damn... Why is that guy so spirited?
Rukawa...
Go, go, Shohoku! Fight, fight, Shohoku!
He stole it!
Shohoku ball!
3 pointer? Could it be?
It's in!
What?
Alright!
We can score as many points as we want... keep it up!
Well done!
What's up with that three pointer?
Don't be so arrogant...
Damn...
Charged time out, Kainan.
Ryonan is here... Ryonan...
I heard that they scored over 100 points against Takezato.
45 to 47.
Shohoku actually managed to keep closely behind Kainan.
Akagi is not here.
There are so many of you and you let Rukawa run around.
That stupid guy just graduated from junior high.
What are you guys up to?
He is not the same as any normal freshman.
He is... Rukawa.
What?
Damn... Damn...
I want to withdraw what I said earlier.
About Rukawa-kun.
His skills have exceeded the standard of an individual.
Match resume...
He is unexpected...
Really unexpected...
He has already take control of the game.
Work hard... There's only 39 seconds left in the first half.
This is an important moment!
How fast, Maki makes a beautiful drive.
Now difference is 4 points.
Kainan will never allow themselves to slip up even a bit.
Great...
How is that...
Kainan will never allow itself to be defeated just because of 1 freshman.
Freshman... Rukawa?
20 seconds left!
The last attack of the first half...
Going into the break, down by 1 basket.
We must stop them!
Amazing defense.
Kainan seems to be intent on scoring another basket.
Pass the ball, hurry!
Sakuragi!
Snatch the ball!
What are you guys doing!
Stand firm to protect the ball.
Look around you, Sakuragi.
I can't see anything.
Damn, at this crucial time...
10 seconds will have passed soon!
That's a 10 second violation.
If you do not pass the halfway line within ten seconds,
then the ball will go to the opponent. Pass quickly!
Think of a solution quickly, Hanamichi!
Damn it, watch me, you guys...
If I could only do that...
Great, good defense.
I can't do it, damn...

Let's show your girl your best move.
Doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you did it your best.
www.animanga.gen.tr
Pass the ball someone's waiting.
Trust will be the key to getting his friendship.
Pass it!
Rukawa!
How come it becomes so noisy all of a sudden?
Once the ball touched Rukawa's hands, the cheers got so loud.
Looks like he had a good game today.
It is up...
Alright!
Alright, go Rukawa!
Maki-san, we depend on you!
Stop him, Maki!
Win, I must win!
Come on, Rukawa.
What was that just now?
He actually dunk the ball in that situation.
Dunking after withdrawing the ball... how is that possible?!
He doesn't seem like a high school student.
Rukawa-kun...!
U... u... unbelievable!
Right now, the only one in high school who is capable of such maneuver...
is Rukawa-kun...
He indeed has a great future.
There are still 5 seconds left. Get one more basket!
I am also capable of this standard.
It's in!
It's a draw! A draw!
We are even...
What are you up to?
The first half has ended.
Rukawa single handed got back all of the lost points.
Rukawa! Rukawa!
Akagi-san!
Akagi!
It's a draw.
Ha ha, Gori, due to the strong pillar of Sakuragi,
the match is now a draw.
What kind of pillar are you? Rubbish...
No, but Sakuragi's performance today is really good.
Can you play in the second half, Akagi?
Leave it to me.
Good, we are going to win for sure.
We will determine the winner in the second half.
Rukawa...
Nice, Rukawa.
Half time.
Shohoku is finally even, ending the first half on a perfect note.
Rukawa-kun is... amazing.
With the returning of Akagi-kun...
You guys...
how many points do you want to give that freshman?!
It is only the first half, and he had already gotten 25 points.
Rukawa on his own has scored 25 points.
Do you want him to leave with 50 points?
I won't allow that!
Coach,
please let me defend him in the second half.
I will use everything I have to stop Rukawa from attacking.
What?
Even though I don't want to
I have to admit that he is the Shohoku's ace.
If I mark him dead, Shohoku's ability to score will diminish.
Kiyota, are you sure you are up to the task?
Can you... do that?
If you can't we will substitute you.
I can do it! I will do it at all costs!
Jin, the second half is here. You shall play.
Yes!
I have been waiting.
Listen.
I have told all of you countless times,
I have always believed that.
We are strong!
That's right!
One, two, three, yeah!
Akagi.
Akagi has returned!
Akagi.
Akagi-kun, can he still play?
Can it be that his injury is okay?
Gori is rejuvenated, great!
Gori! Gori! Gori!
Big brother...
Let's go!
Yeah!
Let the second half of the match begins!
Akagi has returned...
from the look of things, Shohoku's chance of winning are high
Right, Rukawa's performance today is outstanding.
How impulsive.
Regardless of how tight the bandages are...
He can't even walk properly just now.
Look at that. He is already sweating...
Jump ball.
Yes.
I beg of you. I must endure it.
The game has not even started yet... it is abnormal to sweat so much.
This is not normal.
The perspiration proves that his leg must be in great pain.
With his current physical condition, how is he going to play?
Can he run with the ball?
I should have stopped him.
Now is still not too late to stop Akagi-senpai.
Hey, what are you up to, red-headed monkey?
Shut up you wild monkey.
What are you up to?
Change jumper. I'll jump instead of him.
Gori had to leave the game in the first half and this will be too much for him.
Leave this job to me, the genius jumper Sakuragi.
What?
Sakuragi Hanamichi...?
Ayako-kun.
When I feel that Akagi's leg is unable to continue,
I will substitute him immediately.
Sensei...
Okay! Come on!
Sakuragi-kun... He's protecting my injured brother...
No. I think he just wants the glory.
That's right.
Especially after Rukawa demonstrated his skills...
Sakuragi...
Do you looking down on me?
Match begins...
See that, this is real talent of the genius.
Idiot. To think he swapped the ball where there isn't anyone...
Kiyota!
How's that?
Gori!
Senpai!
Brother.
In the short time before the end of the first half, due to Rukawa's excellent play,
Shohoku regained its lost points and caught up.
And with the return of the main pillar of strength, Akagi,
the second half began,
with Shohoku take the lead over Kainan for the first time.
Senpai...
Awakening from an intense dream
to the strongly sunlit morning.
While listening to my favorite tune
I toss the shirt I'm washing over my arm.
A guy last night said in a tired voice,
"I want some excitement" "I want to break up now."
Please don't be down.
Caught by the glittering moment, I want to be enthralled
Repenting isn't wonderful,
but after all you're not alone. Woah
The tears starting to overflow are beautiful
People will, once again, be able to spend time
on an unending journey.
