-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!
[Sakuragi Hanamichi had a special shooting training]
[and finally finished twenty thousand shots.]
[Akagi and other team members also came back...]
[from the joint training camp with Shizuoka from Jousei High.]
[Three days are left to go before the Inter High tournament.]
[While Inter-high tournament draws near,]
[Shohoku basketball team members show their fighting spirit more then ever.]
We'll win the national champion.
Slam Dunk #97 Mixed Feelings, Uozumi Returns
Finally, they're going to Hiroshima tomorrow to play inter-high finals.
Shohoku basketball team...
Of course, Yohei-kun and the others are going there to cheer Sakuragi-kun up, aren't you?
We want to, but we can't afford to train tickets.
We don't have enough time to earn it too.
Gori! Instead of this boring pass practice, why don't we do a game?
What are you talking about?
Passing balls the most important basic practice of basketball!
I've fed up with the basic training, I want a real battle.
I can do one on five with them!
Huh?
Five may not be enough for a genius like me now!
Idiot!
The tournament will start the day after tomorrow, so this is final practice.
It's better not to make the practice too hard for us.
We had three tough games with Jousei, didn't we?
I wasn't in those games with Jousei, remember?
What were you doing here anyway, when we went away?
You were with Anzai-sensei all the time weren't you?
As a matter of fact...
I won't tell you. It's a secret!
What is it? Go on speak out.
Say what you want to say and stop annoying us Hanamichi.
I know you were just fooling around when Anzai-sensei wasn't watching!
No, Sakuragi-kun did this job so well.
He finished what I told him to that is. Shooting-
Don't worry. It was nothing.
Suspicious!
He is planning something.
Don't tell them, Pops.
I have a plan to surprise them with my shooting training results.
Sa... Sakuragi-kun.
Hi!
Long time no see, Hikoichi. How are you doing?
Thank you. Uozumi-senpai, are you okay?
Yeah.
I've helping my father right after the day I retired.
I've got used to it now.
Uozumi-san, I know you're busy but would you please come and see us practicing.
You were so strict to us but we miss you a lot.
With Uozumi-san around we can be much more concentrated in the training.
I told you before, Hikoichi. My aim is to become a good chef,
not a basket player.
Don't say that Uozumi-san.
For me it's all over.
I have no regret to stop playing basketball.
Uozumi-san...
Good bye.
Can you really forget that so easily?
What was the basketball for you? You just say 'it's over'. That's it?
Hikoichi...
From now on, my uniform is this.
Uozumi-san..
I'm sure Sakuragi-san is so high spirited. I envy him.
I sure wanted to go to the Inter-high tournament.
Fujima-san!
I'm a freshman member of Ryonan basketball team, Aida Hikoichi.
I'm sorry we couldn't make it.
Because we lose Shohoku, like you did, we couldn't enter the inter-high to face with Kainan again.
We're not crying over spilt milk.
Our summer is over,
but we have another chance in the winter tournament.
Eh?
So, you didn't choose to stop playing?
I must check it.
And, you're going to practice?
No, we're going to Shohoku.
Eh? To Shohoku?
We'll go and give them our words to cheer them up before they leave.
It'll be our turn in the coming winter!
Let's go, Fujima
See you!
Wait a minute.
Keep your concentration! Use your knees! Do it!
I want to try it in a game.
Though, it's not a bad idea to make my first jump shot
to show the results of my training camp at the Inter-high tournament.
Fool! How can you make the jump shot! Who do you think you are!
What are you doing, Hanamichi?
He's out of his mind.
Idiot.
You are all fools! Did you see what a genius really can do?
But, I want to see them surprised now as soon as possible.
Isn't there any good idea?
What's on your mind, stupid! I told you to keep your concentration!
Damn...
Fujima?
Shoyo players and Hikoichi. Funny combination.
We're sorry to interrupt you, Anzai-sensei.
Hi, Fujima-kun, Hanagata-kun and you must be Hasegawa-kun?
And I'm Ryonan's...
Hikoichi, isn't it too late to come and check us?
We beat Ryonan, didn't we? What is it you want now?
I didn't come to check!
Today, I'm here with Fujima-san to cheer you up.
What? To cheer up you say?
Have you brought some present.
I won't hesitate to take them, come on, show them.
Why should we do such a thing?
You brought nothing then?
We expected you to have the best games in the tournament, Akagi.
You can count on us.
We look forward to fighting with you again in the winter tournament.
In winter, we'll beat you!
Shoyo will win the next time!
Hasegawa...
Fujima and other members of Shoyo are so high spirited,
yet, Uozumi-san quitted...
What? Did Uozumi retired?
He says he wants to succeed his father's chef business.
That boss monkey becomes a chef?
I don't think I can stand what Uozumi cooks for us.
Right, Gori?
I see, Uozumi did quit.
So, you'll all do your best.
We are going to do some training as well.
Yeah.
See you again.
Damn, this is not right. We should be training with all the team.
I'll try much harder to beat Shohoku next time!
One, two, three...
Wait a minute substitute-kun!
Won't you like a game?
A game?
Yes, with us, Shohoku.
www.animanganucleus.org
One out of every five students plays basketball,
Didn't you know that?
www.animange.gen.tr
It's great to pull of basketball techniques, one after the other like Hanamichi.
What are you talking about. What's up with this game idea?
We'll have the game the day after tomorrow. What if you got injured?
She's right, Sakuragi. Don't be silly.
But, substitute-kun and the others came all the way to cheer us up.
I think it's a good manner to pay them back something.
We let them use the gym. That's what I thought.
Hikoichi!
Go and get two more player, no matter who they are.
Yes! A piece a cake. You can count on me.
He's got something in mind, that Hanamichi.
A game! Let me show them what I have achieved in the shooting training.
I don't mind, Akagi.
What about you, Hanagata?
Yeah, we don't mind.
Fujima, Hanagata...
Anzai-sensei?
Pops!?
You want to see the results of your training, don't you, Pops?
Sa-Sakuragi-kun...
It's not a bad idea to have a rehearsal before the tournament.
Don't you think so, Pops?
You may be right.
I think it's up to Akagi-kun. He'll make the decision.
Did you hear that? He said it's okay, Gori!
But sensei...
Akagi-san!
I'll be responsible to find other two...
who'll play with Fujima-san and others.
Let me go and make some telephone calls.
Wait a second.
Okay, it's a deal!
Is it Ikegami-san? Please come to Shohoku High at once!
We're going to have a game!
What are you talking about?
What do you mean that, a game?
Yes, a practice game. Please hurry, okay?
By the way Ikegami-san, would you contact Fuku-san yourself?
Hey Hikoichi! You're only a freshman! How dare you give me orders?
I've secured one....
Is this Sendoh-san's home. May I speak to him?
What? He's gone out? I see. Well, thank you.
It's strange. There's much time before the training starts.
Where is he? Yes, I've forgotten one.
Kainan! Fight! Fight!
The number one candidate for the best freshman in the tournament.
Kainan High Basketball team freshman, Kiyota Nobunaga, nice to meet you!
Don't be puffed up, Kiyota!
And don't underestimate the national level!
I know that, Maki-san.
They have become number one again in Kanagawa.
They have used to play inter-high games, Kainan.
For a team like that, becoming a national champion is not a dream.
Yes, this is Aida.
Oh, it's you, Hikoichi. I'm busy now to making an interview with Kainan.
I'm glad you're there! You'll have enough to make it from there!
Do me a favor, sister! Find Sendoh-san for me.
It's very important.
A game with Shohoku?
That means if I found him I can watch Sendoh-kun's play!?
Where should I go to find him?
According to my records, Sendoh-san sometimes goes to...
I'm not busy in here anymore! I'll do anything to find Sendoh-kun!
If I can't get Sendoh-san, there's one left I can ask.
Hello...
Ah, Uozumi-san.
Don't you hear what I'm saying, Hikoichi.
I told you I've given up the basketball.
Have a game or whatever you want!
Uozumi-san.
Why not?
Don't look down, Uozumi! Chin up!
Yes, sir.
Are you alright, Uozumi?
We've won!
They're late.
They are here!
Thank you so much, Ikegami.
Don't surprise me like this again.
It may be the last chance to play with Fujima.
It sounds interesting.
What about the other one?
Well...
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting Fujima-san. I'm still waiting for Sendoh-san.
Uozumi said no. He said he'd have no desire to play basketball again.
Is it so simple as that?
I don't know what other people think.
I wouldn't say it until I achieved something in my life.
I want to continue to play as long as I can.
I am not ready to quit playing basketball.
Fujima-san...
Haruko.
Is it true? The team is going to have a game?
It's true. Sakuragi-kun is so excited!
Great! I want to see it as soon as possible!
Basketball team is going to have a game.
Seriously? They're leaving for the tournament.
Shoyo and Ryonan are here too!
You'll never see such a game again!
How long should we wait for the last one Hikoichi?
Give me some more time.
You're waiting for Sendoh, aren't you?
Whoever is it, hurry up! I can't wait to show them my secret weapon!
Secret weapon?
No, it's nothing. I've got to keep my mouth shut.
I can't wait any longer, Gori! I'll play in their team.
Okay. Don't play loosely even if you fight with us.
Don't you worry about that, Gori!
Everybody, come here!
We'll start the game!
Hold it.
Uozumi.
Boss monkey!
Uozumi-san!
Sorry to be late, Hikoichi.
I thought you gave up playing.
Yes, I did. But my fight with you hasn't finished as yet.
What?
I haven't burnt down, Akagi! Don't you want to fight with me?
Alright, I'm ready to fight with you at any time!
Akagi...
It looks like the boss monkey's last challenge.
Sakuragi, you change with Uozumi.
Sendoh-kun...
Gori, why should I warm the bench? Megane-kun, you change with me.
Megane-kun, you change with me.
You said you would play with the others, didn't you, Sakuragi Hanamichi?
But, Ayako-san.
This is not what I planned.
This is a very good chance for us. We can't lose.
Show them your strength!
Yeah!
I'm very serious myself like Shohoku players.
I would consider this game as our revenge to them.
Of course it is, Fujima. I've come all way to do it!
Do it. Uozumi-san!
I will, Hikoichi.
This game will be my real last game.
I'll show them what I've learn to in my basketball life.
Wait for me, Akagi!
I'll beat you completely so you won't leave anything behind you, Uozumi.
Fujima, Uozumi, they're full of spirit.
We'll begin now!
Damn... This game should have been a chance for me to show them my secret weapon!
[Hanamichi's simple plan has now become a very serious game between]
[Shohoku and a powerful combination of Shoyo and Ryonan High.]
Just thinking of you,
my heart can be stronger.
Since I've always got my eye on you,
I'm still running
That far-away day's dream was sincere,
and shines even now.
Whatever anxiety you may be full of
believe sincerely in your own path.
I love you, since you show your unmade-up, true face
It'd be sad if it ends up changing
Your eyes, like a young boys',
are always shining, my friend.
Just thinking of you,
my heart can be stronger
Since I've always got my eye on you,
I'm still running.
