TEIKO MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Teiko Middle School basketball club.
In its brilliant history, there were five once-in-a-decade prodigies in one year...
...the "Generation of Miracles."
Ryota Kise. Shintaro Midorima. Daiki Aomine.
Atsushi Murasakibara. Seijuro Akashi.
And the menace standing against them was Seirin High School...
With its shadow... and light.
This is mine now.
That thing earlier... it's mine now!
Haizaki-kun, like Kise-kun, can make any move he sees his own.
This is mine now.
However, he changes the rhythm ever so slightly to suit him.
That's...
Haizaki-kun doesn't copy... He pillages moves from others.
The Generation of Miracles?
Don't make me laugh. How dare you say that at this level.
53RD Q. DON'T YOU GET IN MY WAY
There.
I got it, I got it!
Over here!
Hey, that looks good...
So close!
Hey, can you grab that?
What's with him? He looks like a middle school kid.
That uniform... Isn't he from Teiko?
You mean that school that has that absurdly good basketball team?
Hey, brat, get over here, we'll play with ya.
D-Dammit!
What is this guy?
I thought your trick was kinda good, but it wasn't worth pillaging.
More like you guys are too easy. Be thankful that I toyed around with you.
I-It can't be... you're one of that Generation of Miracles?
That Generation of Miracles again...
Ever since I quit, when someone mentions Teiko, each and every one...
Well, if that's the case so be it... When I want it, I'll just pillage it.
Hey, my drink!
Don't you be takin' your time with it, moron!
Haizaki... The team has changed ever since he joined...
But still... we are strong!
Enough to overwhelm Ryota Kise of the Generation of Miracles, and corner the powerhouse Kaijo...
Physical aptitude on par with Kise, and his style that pillages moves...
He's a much more troublesome opponent than imagined.
Kasamatsu gets the ball rolling well, and Kise is doing his best...
But the deeper we get, our offense only decreases as our moves are plundered.
What do we do? At this rate, we're in serious trouble!
Another one-handed dunk.
But his rhythm now...
His usual sharpness isn't there at all!
I already took that from you back during the second quarter.
It's not your move anymore...
It's mine.
Captain!
Gimme!
Dammit!
I'll show you an example.
It's like this!
The groove is completely with Fukuda Sogo...
To think that this Haizaki guy was of this level...
Im(poss)ible...
He's this perfect up to now...
Kise is moving strangely... It's not his usual self.
Right.
Even if his moves are pillaged, I wouldn't think that Kise-kun would crumble this much.
Not good.
Huh?
Kise can learn any move just by looking at it once, so he should have stockpiled quite a few by now.
But, of all those, not many are of a caliber that will work against Haizaki.
And as soon as he uses it, it gets pillaged and becomes useless.
He's been carefully picking from a limited selection, but it seems he's running out of stock.
That can't be!
Furthermore... that's not the only problem you have, right, Kise?
Kise! You're going too fast! Hold back a bit!
- This still isn't good enough... - Huh?
Not good enough... I can't reach it from here yet!
Overworked?
Probably.
The Kaijo and ToA game back at Inter-High...
I don't think Aomine-kun was the only one to injure himself in that battle.
I'm afraid Kise-kun also...
I'm afraid he also practiced too hard before he could fully heal.
That can't be!
Don't lose in the qualifiers!
'Course.
But still... There's no way that he would lose!
Not against a bastard like that...
We made a promise... that we'd both win, and see each other in the semifinals...
So I'm positive that he'll...
There's another one!
He's amazing! He's totally overpowering Kise!
Does that mean he's equal with the Generation of Miracles?
Impossible...
Kise is completely powerless against him?
My stockpile of moves is starting to run out...
Dammit... And now my leg...
Come to think of it, you were crawling around like that back when we were in middle school, Ryota.
Right, right...
And I took your chick as well, didn't I? You are just down and out pathetic.
And I totally dumped her as soon as I boned her too.
That (guy)... How far is he gonna press (his) luck!
I can't bear to listen.
Hey, you! You're talking a bit much! If you keep it up...
Yeah, yeah, I'll be careful from now on.
Kise...
Ki-chan...
Impossible...
You're just gonna take a pounding and end without fighting back? You?
Kuroko?
I believe in you, Kise-kun!
Where's that from?
Who was that?
That was a really loud voice...
Kuroko-cchi...
Shogo-kun, you know...
I'll tell you this before I win.
You've totally got things wrong. Like about that girl...
She just plastered herself all over me and started calling herself my girlfriend.
To be honest, I was fed up with her.
She was so full of pride, and all she could do was brag about the status of "dating a model."
Just because you managed to peel off one girl that flocked over based on looks, don't get carried away.
Kise!
Get back!
You're nothing but a scrap with nothing good left, Ryota!
Who is?
Then, maybe we can get along together with this?
Our styles are completely different.
Wha...
That can't be...
The Generation of Miracles... Shintaro Midorima's High Projectile Three!
I thought he couldn't copy the Generation of Miracles!
He overcame the obstacle...
However, those moves are a huge burden to his body, so there is a limit.
Probably no longer than five minutes. But right now...
Kise can use all of their moves!
The absolutely impeccable imitation... The Perfect Copy!
Girls, titles... If you want them, you can have as many of them as you want.
But I have a promise to keep that is more important than any of that.
I will make sure to get there...
Don't you get in my way!
KAIJO
Dammit!
It's no good... Their moves are the only things I can't pillage!
Wow!
Kise is amazing! Absolutely amazing!
Kaijo is making a comeback run!
All right!
Only seven points behind! We're gonna storm in and fill in the gap now!
Don't mess with me, you bastards...
The Scoop Shot?
Haizaki, that's...
Idiot's all shaken up now... What good does it do to pillage your teammate's move?
Response and power comparable to Atsushi?
Even his blocking?
Whoa...
He's copying Murasakibara as well?
During the ToA game in Inter-High, Kise-kun lowered his minimum speed...
...and recreated the change of pace with the same speed difference as Aomine-kun.
At the same time, Midorima-kun's shot...
...is recreated by gaining flight distance by holding more power in his shooting arm...
And Murasakibara-kun's defensive area is recreated with jumping strength and predictions.
However, the Generation of Miracles skills aren't so easy you can recreate their moves just with that.
Ryota Kise's basketball sense really has no ceiling.
Damn you...
Shogo-kun, you said earlier...
Something like "I thought I'd grab the seat of the Generation of Miracles"?
How are you feeling now?
- They turned the game around! - Kaijo turned the game around!
Huh? Akashi, what the hell did you just say?
Quit the basketball team. This is an order.
What was that?
I'm actually thinking more about you.
INVINCIBLE - TEIKO MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM Your behavior is far from commendable, but you have contributed to Teiko's victories to date.
But you won't be able to win against Kise. In the near future, he'll take your place as a starter.
When that happens, you'll leave anyway, as you're full of pride.
You're sayin' I'm gonna have something taken from me?
Sooner or later. In either case, the end result will not change.
Damn you...
So it's just like Akashi said...
But... I have no choice but to admit...
Ryota... You are strong.
Then, I don't care what happens to me now...
I'll crush you!
You thought I wouldn't notice?
That you've injured your foot!
He got his foot?
It was over in an instant, so the refs didn't notice either!
This is the end!
I thought I told you.
Don't you get in my way!
The winner is not you! It's me!
Kise!
- Kise! - Go, Kise!
Game over!
- All right! - You did it!
Ouch, ouch! You're gonna make me an idiot!
Our next opponent...
...is Kaijo.
You didn't give up until the end. It was a formidable team.
Make sure to win, for our sake as well.
You guys were strong too.
Go home without me, Satsuki.
Huh?
Wait... Dai-chan?
If you're looking for the Kaijo guys, they won't be out yet.
If you're thinking about seeking revenge on Kise, forget it.
Daiki...
I'll let you go if you keep quiet and turn back right now.
Like I care, moron? I can do whatever the hell I want.
If it's basketball, nobody'll complain whatever you do.
But don't use some other stupid tactic to disrupt their battle.
That makes me laugh. Were you always this much of a goody-goody?
You simply lost against Kise, Haizaki. You realize how much he and Tetsu have been training till now?
Don't do anything else stupid.
I see... That's all the more reason to crush them down.
I told ya I didn't care, right?
Unfortunately for you, I don't give a rat's ass about basketball, unlike all you guys.
If you want me to stop...
...ya gotta stop me by force!
Then, I'll go ahead and do that.
Now... What do do from here...
Well, whatever happens, happens.
Nobody would complain if it was basketball, huh?
TEIKO
Haizaki-kun!
Huh?
Well, if it isn't Tetsuya.
Is it true that you're quitting the team?
Yeah, what of it?
You have such an amazing talent, so why?
More like why did you come out here? Are you dumb?
It's not like you're all chummy with me.
That's not the issue here.
Shut up...
I just got bored of it. That's all there is to it, idiot.
It's tiring, I reek of sweat... It's more fun to be fooling around with girls.
Is that how you really feel, Haizaki-kun?
You really are an idiot.
Did you actually think that deep down I was a serious guy or something?
There really are bad guys... and scary guys out there.
See ya.
Don't you even think about something so off-base as sympathy.
It's not out of the question for you guys who remain to end up in a more pitiful situation than me.
That's right.
The guys that stick around are more likely...
What's wrong, Kuroko?
Oh, it's nothing.
And so, the fifth day of Winter Cup came to a close.
KAIJO RAKUZAN SEIRIN SHUTOKU
And finally...
...the Final Four have been decided.
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
Satsuki, what are you looking for suddenly showing up?
You had the same shoes as Kagamin but a different color, right?
Huh? Kagamin? Basketball shoes?
54TH Q. I'LL TAKE THIS FOR NOW Oh, here it is!
54TH Q. I'LL TAKE THIS FOR NOW Hey, don't take that out without asking! Satsuki!
