MURASAKI: Sorry, could you wait a minute?

KUROKO: It's been a while, Murasakibara-kun.

MURASAKI: Oh? It's Kuro-chin. What are you doing here?

MURASAKI: You look as serious as ever.

MURASAKI: You're so serious...

MURASAKI: I want to crush you.

EpTitle,EPTITLE: {\fad()}Episode At the Winter Cup

CRKuro_Italics,FUKUDA: Whoa, whoa.

CRKuro_Italics,FURIHATA: What is he trying to do?!

MURASAKI: I'm just kidding.

KUROKO: Please don't do that.

MURASAKI: Oh, are you mad? I'm sorry.

KAGAMI: This guy...

KAGAMI: I walked by him at the Inter-High.

KAGAMI: This guy is the Generation of Miracles' center, Murasakibara!

HIMURO: I thought you weren't coming.

MURASAKI: Actually, it's your fault for changing our meeting place

CRKuro: ,at the last second.

MURASAKI: I only came because you said you wanted to

CRKuro: ,go sightseeing around Tokyo since you came back to Japan.

MURASAKI: But you're playing street ball.

HIMURO: Sorry, sorry.

HIMURO: They said they were down a player, and it sounded like fun.

FURIHATA: Hey...

FURIHATA: Yosen played in the Inter-High, didn't they?

FUKUDA: What? You mean he played in the Inter-High, too?

MURASAKI: No, I didn't play.

FURIHATA: What?! Why not?

MURASAKI: I don't know.

MURASAKI: I mean, the only reason I didn't play is because Aka-chin told me not to.

FURIHATA: Who's Aka-chin?

KUROKO: It's Akashi-kun.

KUROKO: He's talking about the former captain of the Generation of Miracles.

MURASAKI: Oh, I forgot.

MURASAKI: Muro-chin, we can't play in unofficial games.

MURASAKI: That's why I came here to stop you.

HIMURO: I see. That's a shame.

MURASAKI: Let's go.

KAGAMI: Hey, wait.

KAGAMI: You can't just barge in here and leave like that.

KAGAMI: Stay a while and play.

BOTH: Kagami?!

KAGAMI: I can't keep my mouth shut with a member

CRKuro: ,of the Generation of Miracles in front of me!

KAGAMI: Besides, I won't let him interfere with my game against Tatsuya!

MURASAKI: What's going on with your eyebrows?

CRKuro: ,Why are they split in two?

KAGAMI: Ow! What are you doing?!

MURASAKI: They're so long.

KAGAMI: Are you listening to me?!

MURASAKI: Huh? Say what?

KAGAMI: I told you to play!

MURASAKI: No, it's so tiring.

FURIHATA: He's not what I expected.

FUKUDA: He's so weird.

KUROKO: When it comes to everything besides basketball, he's got a screw loose.

FUKUDA: What?

KUROKO: You occasionally see athletes like him.

KUROKO: While he possesses great talent in one area,

CRKuro: ,he is incompetent at everything else.

FURIHATA: You mean he's an idiot?

KUROKO: When he gets going in basketball, though, he is unstoppable.

MURASAKI: Oh, shut up. Muro-chin, let's go.

KAGAMI: What's this guy's problem? He's like a little kid.

KAGAMI: A kid?

KAGAMI: I'm so disappointed.

KAGAMI: I didn't know you were such a coward.

KAGAMI: It's so lame that you're running away.

FURIHATA: Huh? Kagami, are you trying to provoke him?

FUKUDA: It's so low level...

MURASAKI: What? I'm not running away.

BOTH: He got him?!

KAGAMI: Hey, don't push yourself too hard. You were scared.

MURASAKI: I'm not pushing myself too hard.

CRKuro: ,I'm not scared either.

REFEREE: Let the game begin!

ALL: Yes!

KAGAMI: Stupid, stupid!

MURASAKI: I know you are, but what am I?

BOTH: What are they, little kids?!

KIYOSHI: Kagami, that's enough.

KIYOSHI: Because of our positions, I'm the one who'll face off against him.

KIYOSHI: You can't take them both on yourself.

KIYOSHI: You've got him.

KAGAMI: Yeah.

MURASAKI: Huh? Then that makes my opponent...

KIYOSHI: It's been a while.

KIYOSHI: I haven't seen you since middle school.

MURASAKI: Who are you?

KIYOSHI: Good grief. You don't remember me?

MURASAKI: Did we play against each other in middle school?

MURASAKI: I forgot. I don't bother to remember weak players.

RIKO: All in all,

CRKuro: ,they're completing their previous training better than they were before.

RIKO: They're definitely improving little by little.

RIKO: On top of that...

RIKO: With such a tremendous loss under their belts,

CRKuro: ,they've become mentally stronger, too.

RIKO: They're even playing on their day off.

RIKO: Basketball comes naturally to all of them now.

RIKO: Now that I think of it,

CRKuro: ,I wonder what happened to the guys who went to play street ball.

ANNOUNCE: Team Seirin takes the ball!

KIYOSHI: Kuroko...

KUROKO: I understand.

KUROKO: Actually, his attitude made me a little angry, too.

FUKUDA: It's an Ignite Pass to Kiyoshi-senpai!

KIYOSHI: Ouch! What an amazing pass.

KIYOSHI: I can't keep catching these forever.

KIYOSHI: Well, I can't help it if you forgot about me.

KIYOSHI: I'll make you remember who I am through basketball.

MURASAKI: No, that's enough.

MURASAKI: I remember you, Kiyoshi Teppei.

MURASAKI: Is basketball really that fun for you?

KIYOSHI: What?

CRKuro - Copy,KIYOSHI: Teiko Shouei

KIYOSHI: There's no way I'm having fun when I'm losing so badly.

KIYOSHI: Do I look like I'm smiling?

MURASAKI: I see.

MURASAKI: That's even more mysterious, then.

MURASAKI: When his defeat is so clear, how can he try so hard?

MURASAKI: I hate it when people waste their energy.

MURASAKI: Passionate kids who love basketball are so stifling and annoying.

AOMINE: Murasakibara!

MURASAKI: Hey.

MURASAKI: I'll crush you even harder, then.

MURASAKI: Is that okay?

KIYOSHI: What?!

MURASAKI: I feel motivated now.

MURASAKI: It may have been better if I hadn't remembered.

HIMURO: Atsushi, could you wait a little longer to play?

HIMURO: Since we're a pick-up team, let's clearly establish our roles.

HIMURO: Atsushi, you're defense. I'll be offense.

MURASAKI: Sure, got it.

ISHIDA: What?! He's not trying to score?

HIMURO: Yeah, don't worry. That's Atsushi's style.

HIMURO: Besides...

HIMURO: I'm more than enough.

KIYOSHI: Furihata, don't just stand there!

KIYOSHI: Restart, restart!

FURIHATA: Y-Yes!

ANNOUNCE: Even the commentators are speechless!

CRKuro: ,What a beautiful shot!

KIYOSHI: He transitioned from his setup to his shot so smoothly,

CRKuro: ,it looked like he was in slow motion.

KIYOSHI: It was clearly a condensed practice shot.

KUROKO: Fukuda-kun, give me the ball.

KAGAMI: Don't just stand there!

AUDIENCE : A fast break?!

AUDIENCE : What was that pass?!

KAGAMI: Let's go, Murasakibara!

MURASAKI: You're smothering me. Don't be so zealous.

MURASAKI: It makes me want to crush you.

KAGAMI: What?!

KAGAMI: I don't know what's going on, but this guy's trouble!

ANNOUNCE: We have an announcement to make. The game will be suspended.

ANNOUNCE: Players and referees, please return to the tents.

RIKO: That's enough!

HYUGA: All right!

KOGANEI: Why are we practicing normally?!

RIKO: Huh? I was watching you practice on your own, and...

KOGANEI: Oh, man. I'm drenched in sweat.

IZUKI: I'm going to go change.

HYUGA: We didn't get the day off at all.

KOGANEI: Huh? What?!

KOGANEI: What are you doing here? What's wrong?

MOMOI: Um, is Tetsu-kun here?

HYUGA: No, not right now.

KOGANEI: Huh? What?! What's going on?!

IZUKI: This seems serious...

HYUGA: Yeah...

HYUGA: But this is crazy. What should we do?

ALL: Our hearts are pounding!

ALL: Ow!

RIKO: Come with me.

CRKuro: ,I'll lend you a towel and t-shirt.

RIKO: We can talk after that.

HIMURO: Sorry, but we'll have to settle this later.

KAGAMI: Wait, Tatsuya!

HIMURO: I want to keep playing, too,

CRKuro: ,but the game will be called eventually because of the rain.

HIMURO: It's dangerous to play basketball on a slippery court.

HIMURO: Besides, you wouldn't want your senior to re-injure himself, would you?

KIYOSHI: This guy...

HIMURO: But I finally got to see you.

HIMURO: I'll leave you a gift.

HIMURO: It's a technique you don't know about.

HIMURO: Defend however you'd like.

KAGAMI: It's just a jump shot?

KAGAMI: I can easily block...

KAGAMI: What?!

KAGAMI: What just happened?!

KAGAMI: My timing was perfect to block a simple jump shot.

KAGAMI: But he passed through my block?

HIMURO: See you later. If we meet again...

KIYOSHI: It'll be this winter.

KIYOSHI: Next time, we'll play in our uniforms.

MURASAKI: You still haven't learned your lesson.

CRKuro: ,I beat you so badly last time.

KIYOSHI: Well, yeah.

MURASAKI: See you later, Kuro-chin.

KUROKO: Don't do that.

MURASAKI: Oh, sorry. Are you mad?

KUROKO: Murasakibara-kun,

CRKuro: ,do you still find basketball boring?

MURASAKI: If you keep talking about that, I'll even crush you, Kuro-chin.

MURASAKI: I don't know what it's like to have fun.

MURASAKI: Is it not enough that I like winning and I'm good at it?

MURASAKI: Well, if you have anything to say, I'll hear it

MURASAKI: at the Winter Cup.

KAGAMI: What?

FURIHATA: What's wrong?

KAGAMI: The coach is telling us to come to school now.

FURIHATA: What?

RIKO: I called Kuroko-kun and the others.

RIKO: They'll be here soon.

HYUGA: What's going on?

TSUCHIDA: Who knows?

MOMOI: Excuse me...

MOMOI: Thank you.

MOMOI: It's a little tight, though.

BOYS: I don't believe this.

BOYS: The bear, the bear!

RIKO: Go run laps outside.

HYUGA: What?! But it's raining...

KAGAMI: That was a pretty threatening greeting.

KAGAMI: Do you two not get along?

KUROKO: It's nothing like that.

KUROKO: If anything, I like him.

KUROKO: We just didn't get along as athletes.

KUROKO: He does not like basketball.

KUROKO: However, even though he didn't like it,

CRKuro: ,he was extremely good at it.

KUROKO: He can do it, even though he doesn't care.

KUROKO: Despite his lack of interest,

CRKuro: ,he became an overwhelmingly strong center.

KUROKO: He believes it doesn't matter if he likes it

CRKuro: ,as long as he's talented, and hates players who

CRKuro: ,like the game but aren't very good.

KUROKO: He said so before.

Nature,SIGN: Nature Park

KUROKO: It's true you cannot win just because you love the game.

KUROKO: But you can work hard because you do,

CRKuro: ,and when you win, you're happy from the bottom of your heart.

KUROKO: That's why I like basketball,

CRKuro: ,and I like Seirin because everyone loves basketball.

ALL: Hey!

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun!

KUROKO: Momoi-san?

KIYOSHI: Th-The bear!

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun!

ALL: Huh? What?

BOTH: Kuroko, go die!

KUROKO: Here you are.

MOMOI: Thank you.

FURIHATA: Coach, what's going on?

RIKO: Well...

KUROKO: What happened, Momoi-san?

MOMOI: What should I do, Tetsu-kun?

MOMOI: I think Aomine-kun hates me.

KUROKO: What?

MOMOI: Aomine-kun didn't participate in

CRKuro: ,the semifinal or final of the Inter-High this year.

HYUGA: That sounds like him.

CRKuro: ,Why not, though?

MOMOI: Injuries. His elbow, mostly.

RIKO: Well, I thought that might be it.

RIKO: The reason must be

CRKuro: ,the quarterfinal game against Kise-kun and Kaijo, right?

MOMOI: That's right.

MOMOI: You may be a B, but you're right.

RIKO: What do my boobs have to do with it?!

KUROKO: If the five members of the Generation of Miracles have a weakness,

CRKuro: ,it's their overabundance of talent.

KUROKO: The Generation of Miracles possesses

CRKuro: ,strength far greater than any high school student.

KUROKO: However, because their bodies are not fully developed,

CRKuro: ,their bodies cannot keep up with their talent.

KUROKO: Because of this, they must restrict the use of their power.

KUROKO: If they don't, they'll end up hurting themselves.

MOMOI: Aomine-kun was reckless when he faced Kise-kun.

MOMOI: I asked the coach not to let him play.

MOMOI: Aomine-kun was furious, but the coach forced him

CRKuro: ,off the starting lineup halfway through the games.

MOMOI: But he just found out about it...

AOMINE: What do you think you're doing?!

AOMINE: You shouldn't have done that!

MOMOI: But you'd just play recklessly again against Akashi-kun, wouldn't you?

MOMOI: If anything were to happen...

AOMINE: I told you not to worry about that!

AOMINE: Since when did you become my guardian?!

AOMINE: Don't show your ugly face around here again!

MOMOI: What's your problem, you ganguro?!

MOMOI: See if I care!

AOMINE: Satsuki! Hey...

MOMOI: That's what happened.

KAGAMI: Wait a minute.

KAGAMI: Don't you like Kuroko?

KAGAMI: Who cares if Aomine doesn't like you?

MOMOI: Yes, but that's not the problem.

MOMOI: It's different from how I like Tetsu-kun.

MOMOI: I'm worried about him, and I can't just leave him alone.

KAGAMI: Uh, sorry.

BOYS: You made her cry.

KAGAMI: No, I...

KUROKO: You lack delicacy.

KAGAMI: Kuroko's lecturing me about girls, too!

KUROKO: It's okay, Momoi-san.

KUROKO: Aomine-kun won't hate you over that.

KUROKO: He knows you were just worried about him.

KUROKO: Let's go back together.

KUROKO: I'm sure Aomine-kun is looking for you.

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun...

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun!

HYUGA: Kagami, that's how you do it.

KAGAMI: Shut up! I get it!

RIKO: Let me ask you one more thing.

KUROKO: I'm going back with Momoi-san.

HYUGA: Okay.

HYUGA: That was quite the surprise.

IZUKI: Anyway, that conversation...

HYUGA: Yeah...

RIKO: I know why Aomine-kun didn't play in the Inter-High,

CRKuro: ,but do you know why the other two didn't?

MOMOI: This is only conjecture, so I can't say for certain, but...

MOMOI: Mukkun... I mean, Murasakibara-kun only listens to Akashi-kun

CRKuro: ,and doesn't want to play against him.

MOMOI: I believe he sat out the Rakuzan versus Yosen game for that reason.

KIYOSHI: What about Akashi?

MOMOI: He is not interested in the championship.

ALL: What?!

MOMOI: Not because he doesn't want to win,

CRKuro: ,but because his victory is assured.

MOMOI: After his team beat Touou,

CRKuro: ,he was asked if he couldn't have beaten us more easily if he had played.

MOMOI: He said only one thing in reply.

MOMOI: That it wouldn't have been interesting.

HYUGA: The Generation of Miracles is full of monsters.

MOMOI: You don't usually walk while playing with a ball.

KUROKO: Oh, this?

CRKuro: ,I'm training for a new technique.

KUROKO: Oh, right. Do you mind if we stop somewhere?

MOMOI: Huh?

MOMOI: What is it?

KUROKO: I want to show you my new technique.

KUROKO: I haven't perfected it yet,

CRKuro: ,but you can use it to make up with Aomine.

MOMOI: What? But...

KUROKO: It's fine. I mean to use it, and I won't be able to hide it from him

CRKuro: ,until the next time we play.

KUROKO: Could you take a defensive stance?

MOMOI: Huh? O-Okay...

MOMOI: What just...

MOMOI: I have no idea what just happened.

MOMOI: But if he perfects this, no one would be able to stop him

CRKuro: ,even if they knew.

MOMOI: An unstoppable drive?!

KUROKO: You don't want me to go the rest of the way?

MOMOI: I'll be okay. Thanks for today!

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun!

MOMOI: Let's play basketball again sometime!

MOMOI: With everyone else!

KUROKO: Okay.
