-ANF- Animanga Nucleus Fansubs
Bad news comes piercing through
this throbbing heartbeat that's out of my control.
The breathing of the undisturbed city...
Only the curiosity in my heart disturbs the quiet.
Embracing the dream that will absolutely not be manipulated
by anyone, I'll strike at tomorrow.
Surpassing the flow of time,
I want to live, feeling the wind.
Set me free. It's still too soon
for me to reach the eternal sleep
With a look in my eyes the color of red heat
even to the point I'm worn out, I will make my way through!
In the finals of the regional championship
Champion Kainan who defeated Shohoku
challenged by Ryonan in the second round.
It was an important game that had a great impact,
and it was only during overtime that the outcome was decided.
Kainan High defeated Ryonan High.
With two wins, Kainan enters the inter-high competition.
On the other hand,
Akagi and the others received word of Coach Anzai's illness,
and went to visit him at the hospital.
They found out that he was rescued by Hanamichi.
Everything was alright, so they were able to relax.
Then,
to be able to enter the inter-high competition,
a deadly match between Shohoku and their long time rival Ryonan is about to begin.
The final battle! Shohoku vs. Ryonan
What a crowd.
Yes, today is the last match, so it's different.
Do you think there are any seats left?
Shohoku or Ryonan?
Looking at the way they've played against Kainan,
their skills should be the same.
That's right.
There's a possibility that they could have even defeated Kainan.
Yeah, it can't be denied that both teams are quite talented.
Which team will win?
It's too hard to tell.
I feel so nervous.
There's no point in you feeling nervous.
Ru..
ka...
wa...
Rukawa... Rukawa... Rukawa...
What are they doing?
Get out of the way!
You're in the way dammit!
It looks like everybody's serious.
Why do our school's cheerleaders have to be like that?
Pretend that we don't know them!
Yo! Haruko-chan!
It's Yohei-kun and the others.
Yo!
Let's keep our distance from them.
Four people riding on a scooter. Isn't that very slow?
Yup, it's slow because carrying this guy is like carrying five people.
What?
We brought some cheering tools.
Nice!
I heard that if you put coins in it, the noise will become louder.
What did you just put in?
Ah, metal balls! From pachinko!
It's noisy! Stop it!
Haruko, we'll go in first.
Yeah, let's go.
Hey! Wait for me!
We should go in as well, or we won't have any seats.
Yeah! You're right.
Why did you bring those pachinko balls with you?
The marbles were supposed to be returned to the pachinko shop.
Really?
The game is about to start, isn't it?
I believe that those kids will try their best.
Coach, why don't you say something?
They are strong.
The first match was Kainan vs. Takezato.
Kainan's cheerleaders were especially loud.
There is less than one minute left.
Defense!
Hands up, hands up! We won't give up any points.
Do your best!
Nice, Kiyota.
He jumped so high unbelievable...
So fast!
Yes!
Go!
First place for seventeen years!
Kainan is incredible.
Seventeen straight years as champions, they're really great.
It's just as we expected, Takezato's skill level is very far from Kainan's.
That's expected, but the problem is the next match.
The two teams that threw Kainan into a state of shock were Shohoku and Ryonan.
Just like every year, the competition for second place is very fierce.
The score for the game just played is 98 to 51,
with Kainan victorious.
Right after the break,
is the second match,
Ryonan High School versus Shohoku High School.
Finally here! Ryonan!
Shohoku!
Finally, it's starting.
Hanamichi!
The game is about to start.
Yeah, this game is the last chance to entering the national championship.
One more minute.
Gather up!
Coach Anzai doesn't seem to be present.
What? You're right.
Anzai-sensei has collapsed.
Anzai-sensei, a former All-Japan basketball player,
his presence to Shohoku, is big emotional pillar of support.
It's a pity.
Without the sensei, it feels uncomfortable.
Stupid, don't do that! [In Japan, people put a dead person's picture up to honor them.]
Just like last time, man to man defense.
Of course, I'll take care of Uozumi.
Miyagi, you get Uekusa.
Yeah...
Mitsui, you take Koshino.
Okay, leave it to me.
Rukawa, you'll handle Sendoh.
What about me? Me?
You get him.
Fuku-chan, huh?
Fine... I'll be fine with him.
Today we're without our sensei.
Let's beat them all up!

Let's show your girl your best move.
Doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you did it your best.

Pass the ball, someone is waiting.
Trust will be the key to getting his friendship.
The second match is about to start.
Before Shohoku vs. Ryonan game, we will present a synopsis of each team member.
Eh? They have a character synopsis?
Yes!
Wearing the red uniform is Shohoku High School.
Number 4, Akagi Takenori.
Yes, Gori!
Brother!
Without coach Anzai in today's match,
Akagi's leadership will be tested.
Besides playing ball,
he'll also have to organize and lead the entire team.
This is a very hard task for captain Akagi.
It's not easy at all.
Also Akagi's ankle hasn't completely recovered yet.
All these bad situations
will test Akagi immensely.
Good luck, Akagi, we're counting on you!
Yeah.
I don't want it to end here.
I want to play more games with this lineup.
Number 7,
Miyagi Ryota.
Ryota, we're depending on you!
Miyagi!
To the Nationals, Ryota.
Leave it to me, Aya-chan.
Number 10.
Oh, it's Hanamichi!
Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Yeah! It's bald redhead! The jokester is here!
That guy is really famous.
You should know that his charisma is very strong.
But he has no skills at all...
Awesome!
Didn't think Sakuragi-kun was this famous.
Yeah, he got famous because of fooling around.
Hanamichi isn't just anybody.
Tsk, that's not enough...
I want a more ingenious way to be introduced.
This doesn't show my greatness.
Not long ago, he wanted to dunk, but he hit his head on the backboard instead.
Sakuragi-kun is really amazing.
Do your best! Sakuragi-kun!
Did Haruko-san come to watch me play?
She came to see me, the genius who got the crowd wild, to play a little basketball.
Number 11,
Rukawa Kaede.
Rukawa, Rukawa, Rukawa
Yelling so loud, it's disgraceful.
Didn't you want to join them?
Rukawa-senpai, Rukawa-senpai, fight!
Boo Boo, go back!
Rukawa looks scary and extremely serious today.
True, I was scared to even say hi to him today.
After that practice game,
he made Sendoh the one rival he had to defeat the most.
It's because Sendoh is the first person
to let Rukawa get a taste of defeat.
Number 14,
Mitsui Hisashi.
Mit-chan!
Stop it! It's disgusting!
It's all up to you, Mitsui!
Fight, Mitsui-san!
Sensei...
The biggest help that I can be of,
is to bring them to the Nationals.
Don't pray!
He's still alive!
Shohoku! Shohoku! Shohoku!
Mitsui, Miyagi, and Rukawa...
These are all players that I wanted o recruit for Ryonan
Next, we'll introduce the team in the white uniform,
Ryonan High School.
Number 4, Uozumi Jun.
So big!
Wow, so that's Uozumi.
He's so big!
Uozumi-san looks like he's full of power.
It's been three years...
when Uozumi decided to come to Ryonan,
I knew that going to the Nationals wasn't just a dream.
The tallest player in the division coming to Ryonan.
At that time, Uozumi was known as big Jun in junior high.
He was good at ball.
Back then,
I was very anxious and scouted him.
When he turns senior my dream will finally come true.
If I can scout the MVP, Mitsui Hisashi,
then I'll able to make the perfect pair.
Failure.
The following year.
I need a point guard to match Uozumi,
to be the team's support.
Miyagi Ryota is the one.
Failure.
The following year.
Tomigaoka Junior High's Rukawa Kaede.
No doubt, he's a treasure that comes only once every ten years.
What? Shohoku?
Why? Is it because of Anza-sensei?
Why?
Because it's close.
Failure.
If my wish was fulfilled.
I would have created the ultimate dream team.
Forget it... That was a dream a long time ago.
I believe that the team I have now can surpass my wish.
Number 6, Koshino Hiroaki.
It's all up to you Koshino-san!
Koshino is very competitive, and can carry the atmosphere of the team.
Number 8, Uekusa Tomoyuki.
Then there's Uekusa.
Even though he's not as appealing as Miyagi,
he's a faultless point guard who knows basketball inside out.
Right now, both of them have become players that Ryonan can't do without.
Number 7.
Sendoh, Sendoh, Sendoh...
Sendoh Akira.
Amazing applause.
More than that of Uozumi.
His skills are up to par with Maki's,
so his popularity is rising quickly.
Right, Maki?
Is he my match?
Such cold eyes, this calm guy...
I must handle him carefully.
I have waited for you for a long time, Sendoh.
I will have you defea...
Excuse him.
He's still the same as before.
Number 13, Fukuda Kicchou.
Then,
Uozumi, Sendoh, plus Fukuda.
This front, without a doubt, is the division's strongest compilation.
Shohoku and Ryonan have both given the seventeen-time champ, Kainan, difficult matches.
However, I can say
that this match won't be a disappointment.
And Shohoku vs. Ryonan will start.
Salute!
Kanagawa's number one center is either me or you,
and only one of us will enter the Nationals.
This match, is to us, a gamble culminated from over three years. The last match.
Akagi…
Uozumi…
Well it's about to begin.
Akagi-san lost the jump ball.
This is bad, he's not into the game yet.
Rukawa is working very hard.
Rukawa...
So talented!
Genius Sakuragi!
Basket interference.
What?
Why do they get a point? The basket didn't go in.
Stop it, Hanamichi.
Why?
Shut up, you idiot.
Do you want to be like that two meter over there?
Well, if you want to get off the court I don't mind. Whatever...
What? Do I look STUPID enough to go against the ref's decision and get kicked out the game?
I'm not STUPID enough to get kicked out because of that.
Little brats, I won't forgive you!
These guys sure know how to make a mess.
Come to think of it,
this is the first time I called a interference call in a high school game.
Basketball interference.
What? You didn't know that, Aida-san?
When the opponent shoots, the ball falls into the little box before it gets into basket.
The defense can't touch the ball there.
If they do, the basket will count whether or not the ball goes in.
This is basic basketball knowledge.
Of course I know that.
At a regular high school student's level, even if they did want to interfere,
it's not something that can be done easily.
His jump, without a doubt,
is way past high school standards.
That bastard.
Shohoku is up against their all-time rival Ryonan.
The fierce match for admittance to the Inter-High competition,
begins with such a play.
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.
