-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 preparation for the inter-high in Hiroshima, Shohoku]
[is playing a match against Shoyo and Ryonan's combined team.]
[Rukawa is in his best condition]
[and has already made three consecutive goals at the beginning of the game.]
That's great, Rukawa-kun!
[But, Shoyo's player-manager Fujima show them his true strength,]
[leaving Shohoku in a tight situation.]
[In Shohoku, Sakuragi Hanamichi has taken Kogure's place and starts to play.]
[He wants to show others what he achieved in his training, but...]
No, it wasn't! It wasn't my real power! Damn.
[Rukawa's big play continues...]
[and Shohoku now lead the game with seven points.]
[By having Sendoh play for the Shoyo-Ryonan combined team,]
[Shohoku find themselves playing against Kanagawa's strongest team.]
Slam Dunk #99 Shohoku in Danger! Fighting the Strongest Team
Damn, Rukawa cannot stop Sendoh!
I will defend Sendoh!
Don't underestimate him, Sakuragi.
Mind your own business! Megane!
No way!
Got it! Sendoh-san made one goal already!
Sendoh-kun is really great..
I told you! It is obviously impossible for Rukawa.
Gori, let me handle Sendoh-
Fool! Shut up and concentrate yourself on what you've got to do!
Damn.
Idiot.
Nice, Sendoh.
Ryonan's ace Sendoh and Shoyo's ace Fujima.
Their team work is unbelievable.
By looking the pass play they just did,
I can't believe they've never played together before.
Go for it!
Make one goal!
I never thought I could do one-on-one with you again so soon.
I've watched the video of the game with Ryonan.
You're still behind Sendoh-kun.
There are even better players in the national level.
Aim for becoming the best player in Japan for now.
Pass around! Pass!
Pass to me, Sakuragi!
I'll make it this time.
Calm down, I've got to calm down.
That fool... not again.
Don't do it, Sakuragi!
Relax first. Use your knees.
From beneath to up.
What have you done to me, you Megane?
Get back quick!
Uozumi!
Alright!
You're spoiling our game, Hanamichi.
Do that strange thing again and I'll never pass the ball to you.
What can you do?
Damn... Damn it. Damn it!
Don't mind, don't mind it, Shohoku!
I feel the other team is in good mood.
They now have Sendoh-san. Isn't it too much?
Fujima-san, Uozumi-san and Sendoh-san.
Having this three in a team is a little overpowered.
So what? They're going to have a game in the inter-high soon.
Even if this is a practice game, Shohoku can't lose this one!
Of course not. Do your best, brother!
We'll beat you, Akagi!
What are you talking about?
Did you forget that we're ahead of you?
Alright!
It's our turn to get one!
Alright!
Uozumi-san. He looks different from the regional tournament.
He seems to be enjoying it now.
All he had in mind was Ryonan had to win all the time.
Because he was the captain and responsible from the whole team.
He's now free of the pressure and can enjoy playing.
That's right. There's another leader in this team, Fujima-san. He's got Sendoh-san, too.
Uozumi-san can be fully concentrated in the game itself.
I wanted to see Uozumi-san play like this! He's himself at last!
I want to see what he can now!
Come on Uozumi!
What?
Nice shot Fujima-san! We're only one goal behind. Just a little bit more!
Alright!
What's wrong, Gori? Boss monkey is making fun of you!
Who do you think you're talking to?
Uozumi tried to going in that case before, but he didn't this time. Damn.
I'm not in a hurry, Akagi.
We still have a lot of time to fight a battle between us.
Wait and see.
We're on defense! Let's do it!
We can't miss this goal!
I feel uneasy.
What kind of play Rukawa is showing now? My life-long rival.
I want to go and watch.
Kiyota!
What are you day dreaming, Kiyota?
But, Maki-san, don't you mind that at all?
What the reporter of the weekly magazine told us?
Shohoku was to play game with a combined team of Shoyo and Ryonan.
What? Weren’t you listening?
In the training camp they had even games with Jousei High from Shizuoka.
I can't help thinking of Shohoku
More importantly, how good he is now, that Rukawa?
I want to learn it.
Sakuragi is not a problem though.
Rukawa is surely one of the top class players in the country, that's no doubt about it.
But he is not necessarily the best.
For example...
Morishige Hiroshi of Meiho High!
We don't know what kind of freshmen will appear in the tournament.
Maki-san, this Kiyota Nobunaga will be on top of them all!
That's the spirit, Kiyota. Let's go!
Yes.
I'll do it! I don't care who or what Rukawa and Morishige are.
Rukawa-kun is slipping through.
Not yet!
Don't go in!
Go in!
Damn! It's in!
Idiot.
Half time!

One out of every five junior high students plays basketball,
didn't you know that?
www.animanga.gen.tr
It's great to pull of basketball techniques, one after the other like Hanamichi.
Sendoh-kun is great but Rukawa-kun is also doing so well. As expected!
It's natural Shohoku is in high spirit. Especially, Rukawa-kun.
They're leading more again.
I thought you came to cheer Shohoku up.
It's a different story now, sister.
Sendoh and Rukawa...
When I look them, I can't help thinking our time is passing away, Fujima.
It will someday. But it's early yet.
Not as long as I stay as a regular member.
Only two goals to go. In fact they're within easy reach.
I'm looking forward to your plays in the second half,
Uozumi-san and Sendoh-san!
Leave it to me, Hikoichi!
I'm counting on you, Sendoh.
Yes, Ikegami-san.
Damn it. Why? What's wrong?
Pops, you didn't teach me a wrong technique, do you?
Why Rukawa's shot go in while my training camp shots didn't?
I did it twenty thousand times! Isn't it strange?
Rukawa-kun's shots are ingrained in his body deeply.
He must have shot millions of times.
Millions?
Akagi, you must stop Uozumi.
If he controls the goal area not only Sendoh but Fujima too will shoots three-pointers.
I know.
And it's you, Ryota. You'll have to mark Fujima.
Aya-chan.
Against Kanagawa's number one point guard,
you fought evenly with the Kainan's Maki, didn't you?
Okay!
Second half is beginning.
Well, let's go!
Yeah!
We made it!
Second half is starting.
Uozumi-san!
Everyone...
Fujima-san!
You're here, too.
Oh, Fuku-san!
What? Fukusuke?
Warm-up, Fukuda. Hurry.
I'm alright.
You change with me.
Hasegawa-san.
Win this game.
Yes.
Shall we go, Uozumi-san!
Alright!
What a team it is! Fujima, Uozumi, Hanagata, Sendoh.
and on top of it, Fukuda the attacker.
Look at those powerful members of that team.
Shohoku will be alright?
Akagi!
Mit-chan!
Aota...
Not you...
You're going to the National tournament tomorrow!
Don't let this strange team beat you! Do you understand?
They're not strange.
They're the most powerful combination I've ever seen.
Hurray, hurray, Rukawa!
Mit-chan!
They're louder than the Rukawa's fans.
Stop it.
Fukusuke, I will beat you!
That's what you say.
Hmph. Ordinary player like Rukawa
may have to shoot millions of times in practice.
But it's different for me.
Twenty thousand is more than enough for a genius like me.
What are you talking about?
I told you that I am a genius!
Sakuragi!
That was close.
Fukusuke!
Fast break!
Well done, Fuku-san! One goal to go!
Fukuda! That's good!
I knew it. Our team is now much more powerful with Fukuda.
He isn't so good at defense but he's well enough against Sakuragi.
He's right. It's almost impossible to stop this strong team.
Three-point!
Uozumi, rebound!
What?
You did it! Rukawa-kun.
Yes.
Yes!
Who is she anyway?
He's superb. He isn't like this.
What... What is it?
It's our turn now!
You can do it!
Alright !
Nice, Fukuda.
Captain!
A three-pointer? Or a fake?
It's Fujima-san this time!
Alright! Good, we make a come back!
This is the time to make a good lead.
Damn.
He didn't give any instruction at the half time.
Doesn't Anzai-sensei mind so much if we win or not?
Rukawa!
I can't lose to Sendoh, Rukawa or Fukusuke.
In that case, should I have to use the secret weapon?
Sakuragi!
This time! Third time luck!
The training camp shot!
Wha-
Traveling!
Hey Yasu! Do you hate me or something? What was that?
I saw you step more than three.
Who are you standing for? You're member of Shohoku!
Deny the judgment. There is still time to do it-
Shut up, you fool!
Sakuragi-kun...
Anzai-sensei, don't we need a time-out now?
No, It's not necessary.
But...
We're having enough of you, you idiot.
What did you say, Rukawa?
Don't you want to win this game, Sakuragi?
You know I do!
Alright. Then you think what you must do now.
I believe your ability to catch the rebound is on the national level.
National level!
Why didn't you say so sooner, Gori? The National level!
Did I exaggerate it too much?
Let's make this goal.
Ayako-kun, the combined member team may be the most powerful team in Kanagawa.
Even so, if our team couldn't win this game,
they should not go to the tournament at all.
Anzai-sensei...
Our team members must be well aware of it.
I must beat him, so I can be the top guard in Kanagawa!
Get the rebound!
Who controls the rebound controls the whole game!
Go Ryo-chin!
Rukawa!
Alright!
Yes.
Well done Ryota!
You too, Rukawa!
It was just an extra of my powerful action.
Sakuragi.!
Nice rebound! Well done!
Gori.
Our target is the national championship. We must win!
Akagi...
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.
