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!
With Mİtsui out of the game due to fatigue,
Shohoku's lead was shortened to one point
The weaknesses Taoka mentioned about Shohoku started to appear one by one.
And just when the tide was on Ryonan's side...
Why the hell is Sakuragi there?
Don't panic... he's just a beginner.
Next ball determines who goes to the Nationals.
This is it! Listen up everyone, we must defend like it's between life and death!
You have four fouls, so you must be afraid to foul.
Why the hell is Sakuragi there?
Slam Dunk #82 Assistant Captain Megane-kun's Tenacity.
Alright! Sakuragi-kun nice!
Good job, Hanamichi!
Sakuragi blocked Uozumi!
Why?
Why did Sakuragi come out of there?
It seems that you still don't understand, old man,
the dreadfulness of this genius, Sakuragi.
But when you understand, it' will be too late.
You got that, Ryonan?
Alright, Sakuragi! Good job!
With his jump, he should be on the Judo team.
What does jumping have anything to do with Judo? Are you still here?
I don't know how scary the genius Sakuragi may be,
but that block just now was huge.
And Sendoh made a great pass too...
What genius?
Damn it...
Don't get too cocky, punk!
Time is running out.
There's 1 minute and 30 seconds left.
Megane-kun, pass!
Of course, he probably didn't know where Sendoh was going to pass.
I can't believe he even thought of that next play.
Even so, he stopped Fukuda, Sendoh and Uozumi.
Those actions weren't achieved because he thought about them.
It's his... his body...
No, it's his cells that make him react automatically.
That's how I felt when I saw it.
There's 1 minute and 15 seconds left. Fight! Fight!
Don't turn it over! Hold your ground!
Sendoh-san, we are counting on you! Fight!
I, Taoka Moichi, 41 years old...
in my 34 years of basketball, have seen many types of players.
Sakuragi Hanamichi...
Is like an unknown species.
He was supposed to be one of Shohoku's weaknesses.
But was he one of Ryonan's weaknesses instead?
That man is...
Let's win!
Defend until the end! You must defend until the end!
Alright!
Alright! Let's get this basket.
Go Shohoku!
I must score.
Go Shohoku! Shohoku!
Hanamichi, dunk it!
Ryonan doesn't have 3-point shooters like Mitsui-san or Kainan's Jin.
So if we can get the lead to go up to 3...
Hanamichi, don't hold the ball for too long. Pass it!
Shoot!
It didn't go in!
I'll get it back myself!
Idiot, don't shoot, bring it back!
Hanamichi!
Alright!
Let's get this basket!
Damn that beginner...
Kogure-san!
Moron, Ryo-chin! Boo!
Nice, Koshino.
He crossed the line!
What the hell?
Alright.
That was so close.
We would definitely have gotten a fast break out that, too.
Don't mind. Nice, Koshino-san. It was very close.
Damn it. I must win!
Yeah!
Win!
We'll win!
Defense! Defense!
Alright!
Ikegami.
Yes...
If the ball goes to Akagi or Rukawa, go double team.
You can leave Kogure open a little, understand?
Go Shohoku! Only one minute left!
I must think...
What would Anzai-sensei do here?
It's Rukawa!
Yes! He did it!
Let's take the lead!
You have middle school skills!
What?
Nice, give it to me.
Kogure, you are open! Shoot it!

One out of every five junior high students plays basketball,
did you know that?
www.animanga.gen.tr
It's great to pull off basketball techniques, one after the other, like Hanamichi.
Kitamura Junior High
Senpai, excuse me.
I want to join the basketball team.
I'm in my first year, too...
I'm Akagi Takenori.
I plan to win the national title one day.
National title?
How about you? Why do you join the basketball team?
I'm called Kogure Kiminobu.
I'm joining because I want to gain some strength.
Akagi-kun, basketball is pretty boring.
It's like this in the beginning.
Damn.
I should have experience!
Akagi-kun...
Is basketball... this tough?
It's a sport where you keep on running.
Hey! Kogure, don't sleep!
Kogure...
Akagi-kun, have you ever thought about quiting basketball?
Do you want to, Kogure?
It's never crossed my mind. Not even once.
It's over...
We're done after this...
But... in all of my 3 years, this was the best game.
So don't cry, Kogure.
Akagi...
Yeah.
I don't want to stop playing basketball.
I like basketball.
Kogure...
We'll win the Nationals in high school!
Okay.
Mitsui-kun! The MVP! You came to Shohoku too?
That's what I expected from Mit-chan.
So famous.
First year, tenth class, Mitsui Hisashi. Graduated from Takeshi.
176 cm 63kg. I can play any position.
And...
My goal is to win the Nationals for Shohoku High School.
Japan's #1 team!
He's just like you.
Wow! Amazing!
That's what can expect from Mitsui.
My leg...
It seems that Sekito Arimato quit the team today.
Is that so?
Now it's just the two of us from our grade,
when it started, there were so many people.
What will happen if we quit?
If we do, there won't be a team next year, and we won't make the Nationals.
First year Class 2 graduated from Tomigaoka. Yamada Tadashi.
175 cm, 69 kg. I play center position.
15 new players this year, huh?
It looks like the manager is the most energetic.
Your voice is too low!
We have no choice but to put our hopes on these guys.
Yeah.
I wonder how many people will stay in the end.
That's right...
If five people are left, that wouldn't be too bad.
Who are you?
You are a newcomer to the basketball team too?
One day, everyone will know me as Kanagawa's number 1 guard.
Right now, I'm just a good player.
Huh?
So cocky.
I'm Miyagi Ryota. Me.
Huh?
So fast! He's there already.
Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Rukawa Kaede.
So many trouble makers.
How dare you kick me, you bastard.
It's on!
Akagi!
This is a mess.
I'm going home!
I can't stand this place any longer.
Sakuragi.
You have got no guts!
Great! That's great! Sakuragi!
Great, great!
What? Oh, yeah.
Akagi, Sakuragi said he regrets, right, Sakuragi?
Yeah! This is great!
Let us join in too, Miyagi.
Hey, don't come in with your shoes on.
Take them off.
Will you never understand until you're dead?
I'm going to kill you!
Mitsui...
Megane-kun!
Basketball is only a puny game, isn't it?
I felt bored, so I quit.
Was that so bad?
What happened to "win the nationals".
What happened about being Japan's number 1? About making Shohoku stronger?
Don't break others dream like that!
Kogure...
Anzai-sensei...
I...
want to play basketball.
Nice shot.
Megane-kun...
Didn't you go home?
Is there anything I can help out with?
Since I'm in my third year...
This is my last chance...
If we can't get into the Inter highs,
The game two days from now against Takezato will be my last game.
It's in.
It's in!
Alright! Alright! He did it!
Megane-kun did it...
On top of that, it was a three pointer!
Now the lead is...
Four points!
Now it's over!
Great!
Charged timeout.
Ryonan.
Megane-kun!
Kogure!
Megane-kun! Good job! Alright, Shohoku!
You did it, Kogure!
He's a man that has been training hard for the pas three years.
Today is the best, Megane-kun!
You little, you little... you...
I shouldn't have looked down on him.
Four points, huh?
After the 3-point shot that Kogure bet all of his basketball career on went in,
time was running out with Shohoku holding a four point lead.
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.
