-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 first match of the inter-high qualifiers,
Sakuragi Hanamichi who made a mistake and wrongly pass the ball to Kainan,
feeling guilty and responsible for his team's loss.
What are you doing here, you moron?
Rukawa...
But Rukawa said to Hanamichi that
they lost the match due to he couldn't stay in the match until the end.
Both of them believed they were the ones responsible for the loss,
and a fight started because of it.
It was my fault!
No, it was my fault!
My fault!
And thus, Hanamichi, who insisted that he should be the guilty one,
shaved his hair and appeared before the tem members to apologize.
#61 The Bald-Headed Comeback!
Incredible, Toshi...
It's nothing. It was only one hit.
Really, I would like to see how you beat up that jerk.
And not just yet...
No matter how crowded the train is, it always seems to be empty around Toshi.
You think so?
Of course, of course!
No one would come near, right?
It's because they're scared.
Oh! I'm sorry!
Old man, you better stay away at least three meters or else Toshi might do something.
That's right.
We're at the train station.
I wonder if anyone would be stupid enough to get on this cart.
I doubt it.
I thought so too.
Oh! Today train is really empty.
He looks scary.
Toshi!
Somehow, he got even scarier.
That's because he's bald headed now.
That's so scary.
Damn it, stop staring at me!
So annoying.
It looks like with that hair you've become the hot topic of the school, Hanamichi.
A celebrity like me will draw attention even if I only move one finger.
Common people like you will not understand how I feel.
Form a line, form a line!
50 yen per person!
What? You charge for this?
These guys again...
Hey, move, move.
Move aside!
Who is that guy?
You look cool, Sakuragi!
Damn it, these annoying people.
For the whole day, people came nonstop to see how he looked.
Sakuragi!
You shaved your hair to show you've decided to join judo club.
Is that what it means?
He went to the basketball club already.
I came too late, damn!
Defeat Takezato, defeat Ryonan!
Commoner's shot!
Nice shot, Sakuragi-kun!
Haruko-san!
You have high morale, Sakuragi Hanamichi.
You're playing harder since you shaved your head.
That is for sure, Ayako-san.
I, Sakuragi, am strong unlike normal people.
Oh! Did you write that Ayako-san?
Yeah, pretty good, eh?
It's the best!
End of the line.
Your defense is not strong enough.
Yes!
Now try again!
This time you have to be able to stop me!
Hey, Akagi-kun.
Yes!
You push yourself too hard.
I understand how you feel.
But practice lightly for now.
Yes.
The most important thing is to recover from your injury, don't force yourself.
Yes.
Good, now please gather everyone.
Everyone, gather up quickly.
Ah, your head looks pretty good, Sakuragi-kun.
It's nice.
Stop touching my head, dammit.
You look more like a sportsman now, Sakuragi.
Very funny.
Stop laughing.
You have a weird looking hair style too.
It was because of my mistake that we lost.
This is the least I can do.
Well, after 5 minutes of rest, we will start a practice game.
That's all the practice we have today.
Why, Pops?
Today's practice seems so easy.
It is because I don't want you guys tired out during the real game.
I get it, there was a guy who couldn't handle the whole game against Kainan.
His name starts with Ru-...
But it's not like we lost because of him.
Hey, stop pulling!
Stop it, Sakuragi...
Ignore him...
The practice match is the first years against second and third years
but excluding Akagi-kun.
Mitsui-kun...
Yes?
You will be the referee. We have to take it easy on the first years.
What's going on?
What is it?
It's a game.
First years vs. second and third years.
Alright! Let's start! Form a line!
Okay! Let's go!
2nd and 3rd year team, Kogure Kiminobu Forward 178 cm
Yes.
Kakuta Satoru, Center, 180 cm.
Shiozaki Tetsushi, Guard, 170 cm.
Yasuda Yasuharu, Guard, 165 cm.
Miyagi Ryota, Guard, 168 cm.
That would be fine if we give them a larger handicap.
If you guys lose to the first year team,
everyone will have to do 50 push ups.
Fight!
First year team, Rukawa Kaede, Forward, 187 cm.
I'll make it clear first, even if this is only a practice match,
don't drag me down.
I warn you too.
You can't quit in the middle of the game because you are too weak.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, Center, 188 cm.
Both of you please stop fighting.
Ishii Kentaro, Forward, 170 cm.
We have both of you with us,
I have a feeling that we can win.
Yes. And also their team is without Akagi and Mitsui. We could sure win.
Sasaoka Satoru, Forward, 172cm.
All we need is team work.
Kuwata Toki, Guard, 163 cm.
That's the problem...
Alright, practice match.
Begin!
Well done.
Keep it up, Sakuragi Hanamichi.
This is good.
How could he have such great jumping ability?
Alright!
What's going on, Hanamichi.
Damn.
I can see it, no offence to Kakuta, but I don't feel any strength or speed.
Incredible, Sakuragi Hanamichi.
He stands out the most.
Indeed.
Sakuragi could match with Maki, Takasago, Hanagata,
Kakuta will not be the one who can handle him anymore.
Other than our starting group.
I'm afraid we have no one else who could block him now.
That guy...
In only three months his technique has already surpassed the rest of the members.
Nice rebound, Sakuragi-kun.
Haruko-san...
But...
It would be bad if Sakuragi gets satisfied over this.
First year's ball!
Mitsui-kun...
Yes.
You go put some pressure on Sakuragi-kun.
Alright! We will win for sure!
This is the way it goes.
www.animanganucleus.org
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.
Kakuta, change player.
It's Mitsui-san.
Mitsui-san's going to sub in.
He's going to play.
I thought we were going to get the handicap.
What are you guys doing?
Don't you know that you will have to do 50 push ups if you lose against first year students.
That is why everyone says we have no depth,
that our bench is too weak.
Don't you feel ashamed about it?
Sorry.
Let me see how much true power you have.
But...
Sakuragi is really strong.
Power, speed and pressure under the boards...
I didn't know that till I was playing against him.
He has grown so much in the matter of three short months.
His future is going to be very successful.
I'll play center, let's go.
Oh Mit-chi, you think you can stop a genius like me?
Match begins.
Alright! Go beat the second and third years!
Yes!
Come on, Sakuragi!
Do your best, first years!
Fight! Do your best!
Haruko-san, you just watch and see.
This genius Sakuragi will be showing off hiss true talent for you.
Don't let him continually be conceited, Mitsui.
Coach Anzai has his reasons for having a practice game today.
Among the 4 qualified teams in Kanagawa,
Kainan and Ryonan have the highest expectation to win.
Currently they are both leading.
On the other hand, Akagi's still not fully recovered from his injury in Shohoku,
Therefore, they are not in good condition.
Since only two teams can qualify to enter the inter-high championship,
with Shohoku having already lost once,
they must win against the other two teams to be qualified to enter.
As for facing second match, coach Anzai knows a player who could assist Akagi.
This is non other than the Sakuragi, who can be a main center.
However, after they lost the match to Kainan, Sakuragi lost his confidence.
So, to observe Sakuragi, to help him find his real talent for his future.
This is the reason why coach Anzai has the team practice with each other today.
How is it, Sakuragi?
It's strange.
Sakuragi-kun, get more inside! Inside!
Take advantage of your height and go.
I know! Don't you dare order me around!
Sakuragi-kun!
Alright! Go, Hanamichi!
That Mitsui... He is skilful indeed.
Even though Sakuragi got the ball the couldn't do anything..
All he can do is a lay up or dunk.
He does not have the ability to pass through Mitsui's defense to get in position.
There is nothing he could do right now.
In other words, if he doesn't have the ball in the position for a dunk, he is harmless.
Plus he would wrongly pass when under pressure.
Alright, fast break!
Mitsui is using this formula to defense.
I will not let you shoot.
Oh, Rukawa is flying!
Nice pass!
Alright!
They're good.
Absolutely.
That's bad he can't get in.
Hanamichi hasn't done anything ever since Mit-chi subbed in.
He hasn't done anything good!
Even the ace centers in Kanagawa like Hanagata and Takasago
had difficulty handling Sakuragi.
Mitsui could do it without assistance from his teammates
and completely trap him in it.
Mitsui...
Your sense of basketball is really exceptional.
That guy...
Offense, charging.
What?
Damn!
It reminds me of the time when I first faced Akagi.
His personality is very forward, easy to piss off, but a little teasing.
Just like him.
Oh... it's starting to become very noticeable.
Hands up!
Cut in!
Okay!
Move!
You move!
Both of them are in high post.
Who should I pass to?
Idiot, you couldn’t do anything even if you got the ball there,
So move!
Why are you being so cocky, Rukawa.
You move!
What are they doing?
It doesn't matter, just pass it to Rukawa, you can't go wrong.
To Rukawa, Kuwata!
Nice shot, Rukawa!
What did you just say...?
I'm sorry...
What are you doing, Sakuragi?
Sakuragi-kun...
Mit-chi, I challenge you!
See my turn around shot!
Nice pass, Hanamichi!
Don't mind it. Don't mind.
You guys stop laughing.
Don't mind, Sakuragi-kun!
Idiot, stop doing things that you cannot do.
You have to get the ball closer to the net, Sakuragi.
I won't listen to the opponent!
That is not the right way to shoot, you idiot. You'll only give everyone trouble.
What!
Last three minutes!
Fight!
Do you think you can get past me with that kind of dribbling, Sakuragi?
Damn!
No good, the board is too far away.
Offense, charging.
You idiot!
Do you only think about dunking?
You will be fouled out if you continue to act like this.
Shut up!
I will not let my rival confuse me.
Last 2 minutes.
The ring is in front of you.
try to shoot from here, you have the height advantage.
Your whole body has tightened up so that it's stiff.
Shut up!
Where are you aiming?
Are you shooting with your eyes open?
Mitsui...
So amateurs can only be amateurs after all.
He can't do it.
What's wrong Hanamichi, show us your dunk!
Shut up, you amateur.
I wouldn't have to play so hard if dunking was easy to do.
Last minute!
I must get this rebound and score.
Ah... he can't make it.
Not even close.
Oh... seems like he finally understands where his weak spot is now.
It is because of Mitsui...
That Mitsui...
Fast break!
He's fast!
Give it to me!
Nice assist.
Watch out!
Well, Sakuragi's task is to learn how to shoot under the net within the next 3 days.
You won't have time to sleep in the next 3 days!
You are in my way!
Why are you being an obstacle to me becoming a hero?
Why didn't you return the pass?
You moron.
They're not listening.
Stop it both of you. You'll tear down the board.
Don't interfere Megane-kun, it's his fault.
You big moron.
My god...
you two really have to work something out.
These two...
Maybe they will become the best partners ever and shock the whole nation.
After rivalry with Mitsui, Sakuragi Hanamichi finally understands what his weakness is.
The competition that they must win is drawing near.
The match against Takezato is only three days away.
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.
