KISE: They're tied.

KISE: The game's going into overtime?

MOMOI: Normally, yes,

MOMOI: but because this tournament is trying to keep games short,

CRKuro: ,they have no overtime rules.

KISE: Which means...

RIKO: It's a tie.

KIYOSHI: That last free throw...

KIYOSHI: If I had just made it...

HYUGA: Kiyoshi!

KIYOSHI: You guys are brutal.

KIYOSHI: Honestly, I didn't expect you to blame me that much.

HYUGA: Blame you?

HYUGA: Those were high fives.

KIYOSHI: What?

HYUGA: Don't be stupid.

HYUGA: We made it this far because of you.

IZUKI: No one took it easy.

IZUKI: It's no one's fault.

KAGAMI: Besides, we didn't lose.

KUROKO: We did the best we could.

KUROKO: I have no regrets.

KIYOSHI: You're right.

MIDORIMA: Kagami.

MIDORIMA: Surely you're not satisfied with this.

KAGAMI: Of course not.

KAGAMI: We'll settle things later.

TAKAO: There will be no ties at the Winter Cup.

SENSHINKAN: That's not fair!

SENSHINKAN: How can you be happy winning like that?

FURUHASHI: Not fair?

FURUHASHI: Sorry, but I don't understand.

FURUHASHI: I don't remember breaking any rules.

HARA: Of course we're happy.

HARA: Are you sure you don't have Bavarian cream for brains?

FURUHASHI: The game next to ours was a nail biter.

FURUHASHI: I can't believe Seirin made it a tie.

HANAMIYA: It's not surprising.

HANAMIYA: If anything was unexpected,

HANAMIYA: it's that they're all goody two-shoes.

HANAMIYA: It made my skin crawl.

HANAMIYA: We have one more game.

HANAMIYA: We'll crush Seirin and advance to

CRKuro: ,the Winter Cup.

MOMOI: There.

MOMOI: This is what you wanted, right?

MOMOI: It's been a while, Midorin.

KISE: Not a bad game, right?

KISE: If you win your next game, you'll be in the Winter Cup.

KISE: Make sure you don't mess this up.

MIDORIMA: That's impossible.

MIDORIMA: Don't be stupid, fool.

KISE: Who are you calling stupid?

MIDORIMA: I'm not the one you should be worried about.

MIDORIMA: Seirin's next opponent is Kirisaki Dai Ichi.

MIDORIMA: Hanamiya Makoto.

MIDORIMA: It's obvious they have

CRKuro: ,their sights set on Seirin in the championship league.

MIDORIMA: They're guaranteed to do something to secure their victory.

KISE: One of the Uncrowned Kings...

KISE: They've got another difficult opponent to face.

MIDORIMA: I'm leaving.

MIDORIMA: See you later.

MOMOI: Already?

MOMOI: But it's been so long since we've seen each other.

KISE: Whoa, what is this?!

MIDORIMA: It's exactly what it looks like.

MIDORIMA: Takao pulls it.

KISE: This guy...

MOMOI: He's wearing a uniform.

MOMOI: H-How cute!

MIDORIMA: Why?

MIDORIMA: Looking at him makes me so angry for some reason!

MOMOI: What's he doing here?

KISE: Momocchi, you're getting too excited.

MIDORIMA: That dog peed in my cart!

MIDORIMA: Give him to me, Momoi.

MOMOI: Why?

MIDORIMA: I'll sh**t him.

MOMOI: No!

MOMOI: You can't do that, Midorin!

KUROKO: Excuse me. That's my dog.

KUROKO: Huh?

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun!

KISE: Kurokocchi.

MIDORIMA: Kuroko.

KUROKO: What are you all doing here?

MOMOI: A dog that looks just like Tetsu-kun is licking Tetsu-kun's face.

MOMOI: It's so cute...

KISE: Momocchi!

KISE: Are you okay?

TAKAO: There you are!

TAKAO: Hey, Shin-chan.

MIDORIMA: This is foolish.

MIDORIMA: I'm going home.

KISE: You're leaving?

MIDORIMA: Let's go, Takao.

TAKAO: What? You sure?!

MIDORIMA: Kuroko.

MIDORIMA: Let's play again at the Winter Cup.

KUROKO: Yeah.

HYUGA: You're full of bravado.

HYUGA: It was unnatural for you to miss that shot.

KIYOSHI: You knew?

HYUGA: I thought something was up.

HYUGA: Don't play in our game against Kirisaki Dai Ichi.

KAGAMI: Oh, he found Number .

KIYOSHI: Don't be ridiculous!

KIYOSHI: This year is probably my last chance.

KIYOSHI: Even if it destroys my knees, I'm playing.

KUROKO: What's wrong, Kagami-kun?

KAGAMI: Captain.

KAGAMI: Can I ask you something?

HYUGA: What?

KAGAMI: What was that about?

KAGAMI: Why did Kiyoshi-senpai say this year was his last chance?

KUROKO: What?

HYUGA: You heard that?

HYUGA: Fine, then.

HYUGA: Considering his condition, you'd have found out eventually.

HYUGA: I might as well tell you everything.

HYUGA: It happened last summer...

IZUKI: Hey, Hyuga.

IZUKI: Hyuga.

HYUGA: Shut up. I hear you.

HYUGA: Izuki...

IZUKI: Hey. We're in the same class again.

IZUKI: I can't take it.

HYUGA: What's so funny?!

IZUKI: It doesn't look right.

IZUKI: You bleached your hair at the start of high school.

IZUKI: That's not something a basketball player does.

HYUGA: Of course it isn't.

HYUGA: I'm done with basketball.

HYUGA: It's just hard.

HYUGA: There's nothing fun about it.

HYUGA: I'm going to take over this school and stand at the top!

IZUKI: There aren't many people like that at this school.

IZUKI: Besides, jokes aside, that's not cool, Hyuga.

IZUKI: You worked so hard in middle school.

IZUKI: You never missed a practice.

HYUGA: What good came from that?

HYUGA: We didn't win a single game.

HYUGA: Fortunately, this school doesn't have a basketball team.

HYUGA: You should find a different club, too.

HYUGA: Ow!

HYUGA: That hurt!

HYUGA: Watch where you're...

HYUGA: H-He's huge.

HYUGA: He must be taller than centimeters.

KIYOSHI: Sorry, sorry.

KIYOSHI: I'll be more careful.

HYUGA: Sure...

HYUGA: My phone...

KIYOSHI: Do you like basketball?

HYUGA: What? Well, uh...

HYUGA: Oh, crap. He overwhelmed me.

KIYOSHI: Seriously?

KIYOSHI: You're joining the basketball team, then?

HYUGA: Um, I...

KIYOSHI: I'm Kiyoshi Teppei.

KIYOSHI: I was just on my way to submit my club entry form.

KIYOSHI: Let's go together.

HYUGA: You've got the wrong idea!

HYUGA: Besides, this school doesn't have a basketball team!

KIYOSHI: It doesn't?

KIYOSHI: That's not possible.

HYUGA: It doesn't.

KIYOSHI: Seriously?!

KIYOSHI: What am I going to do?

HYUGA: Where were you planning on taking that form?!

KIYOSHI: I get it.

KIYOSHI: I have no choice, then.

KIYOSHI: Let's form a basketball team together.

HYUGA: What? Why would I...

HYUGA: Together?!

KIYOSHI: If one doesn't exist, we have to make one.

KIYOSHI: With three more members, we can play games.

HYUGA: What are you counting me for?

HYUGA: I quit playing basketball.

KIYOSHI: What? You did?

HYUGA: Find someone else.

HYUGA: Later.

IZUKI: You've been in a bad mood lately.

HYUGA: Of course I have been.

HYUGA: Try having that giant follow you around.

HYUGA: There'd be something wrong with me if I were happy.

KIYOSHI: Don't be like that.

KIYOSHI: Let's play basketball together.

HYUGA: I told you, I'm not playing!

IZUKI: I don't mind.

KIYOSHI: Seriously? All right.

KIYOSHI: Now we just need two more.

HYUGA: Don't include me!

HYUGA: Izuki!

IZUKI: Who cares? Besides, I want to play.

HYUGA: Do what you want!

HYUGA: I'm not playing!

HYUGA: I'm sick of losing.

IZUKI: Kiyoshi-kun, right?

KIYOSHI: Call me Teppei.

IZUKI: You don't learn.

IZUKI: Why are you trying so hard?

IZUKI: You're Kiyoshi the Iron Heart, aren't you?

KIYOSHI: I don't really like that nickname.

KIYOSHI: It's not a name for a student, anyway.

IZUKI: If you wanted to play basketball,

CRKuro: ,I'm sure a strong school would have recruited you.

IZUKI: What are you doing here?

KIYOSHI: I don't have a reason.

IZUKI: What?

KIYOSHI: My grandparents raised me.

KIYOSHI: They're both old,

CRKuro: ,so it's easier for me to attend a school that's nearby.

KIYOSHI: I like basketball, but it's just a club.

KIYOSHI: As long as it's fun, I don't care.

IZUKI: Since he's a famous player, I thought he'd be more ambitious,

IZUKI: but he's pretty laid back.

IZUKI: As long as you're having fun, you don't care if you win or lose.

KIYOSHI: What? It's not like that.

KIYOSHI: Why would you take it easy?

IZUKI: What?

KIYOSHI: It's not the same as taking it easy.

KIYOSHI: Training to win and improving yourself.

KIYOSHI: Devoting yourself to what you enjoy.

KIYOSHI: Isn't that what it means to have fun?

KIYOSHI: Besides, we're only students.

KIYOSHI: Even if we give it everything we have, it may not be enough.

IZUKI: I take back what I said.

IZUKI: Guys like this really do exist.

KOGANEI: Hey!

KOGANEI: I heard you guys talking about a basketball team.

KOGANEI: Can we join?

KIYOSHI: Yeah, of course.

KOGANEI: All right!

KOGANEI: Isn't that great, Mitobe?

KOGANEI: I'm Koganei. Nice to meet you.

IZUKI: Nice to meet you. I'm Izuki.

IZUKI: Have you played before?

KOGANEI: Of course!

KOGANEI: This guy has!

IZUKI: What about you?

KOGANEI: Take three steps, and it's cycling!

IZUKI: It's traveling.

IZUKI: You must be a beginner.

KOGANEI: I played tennis in middle school,

CRKuro: ,but after watching Mitobe play, basketball seemed fun!

IZUKI: You seem pretty athletic.

IZUKI: Oh, that's your reason for joining?

KIYOSHI: All right. Now we have five members.

IZUKI: You're still counting Hyuga?

IZUKI: Hyuga aside, we should get a couple more people.

IZUKI: Games and practice will be difficult with exactly five people.

KOGANEI: A manager!

KOGANEI: A cute manager!

IZUKI: I understand how you feel, but hold on.

IZUKI: And listen to people when they're talking.

IZUKI: I have someone in mind for a manager, though.

IZUKI: Aida Riko.

RIKO: No way.

KOGANEI: That was quick.

KIYOSHI: Don't be like that. Come on.

KIYOSHI: Join the basketball team.

IZUKI: This guy won't budge.

RIKO: Were you even listening?

RIKO: Basketball's my least favorite sport.

RIKO: More accurately, I especially hate

CRKuro: ,everything about our generation's middle school basketball.

RIKO: Teiko Middle School was overwhelmingly strong.

RIKO: Most high school players will be their former members.

RIKO: I don't have a problem with that, but

RIKO: everyone around them has given up on winning.

RIKO: That's what I hate most.

HYUGA: You piece of sh*t!

HYUGA: Masamune!

HYUGA: Damn it! I can't beat anyone!

RIKO: What are you doing here?

HYUGA: Riko...

RIKO: That hair is awful!

HYUGA: Hey!

RIKO: Izuki-kun came to talk to me during lunch.

RIKO: Some weird giant was with him.

RIKO: They said they're forming a basketball club.

HYUGA: Yeah, apparently.

RIKO: You don't seem very busy, though.

HYUGA: I do whatever I want every day!

HYUGA: I play games and read comics.

RIKO: What else?

HYUGA: I'm really into civil w*r generals now.

HYUGA: Date Masamune's my favorite.

RIKO: That's great, but is that a haircut for someone who's into those things?

RIKO: It looks to me like you're trying to force yourself.

RIKO: You're not doing what you want.

RIKO: You don't know what you want to do.

IZUKI: That was pointless.

KOGANEI: She's cute, but not in the way I expected.

RIKO: A few clubs have asked me to join,

RIKO: but I'm not accepting any offers unless they're serious

CRKuro: ,about being the best.

KIYOSHI: I'm relieved, though.

KIYOSHI: She just doesn't like half-assed teams, right?

KIYOSHI: If there's a problem, it's how to convince her we're serious.

KOGANEI: Is that the Hyuga-kun I keep hearing about?

KIYOSHI: Excuse me.

IZUKI: Wait, Kiyoshi.

IZUKI: It won't be easy.

KIYOSHI: Huh?

IZUKI: He was a pretty good sh**ter in middle school,

IZUKI: but we never won.

IZUKI: If someone beat us, they'd lose their second game.

IZUKI: The guys who beat them would lose their third game.

IZUKI: Everyone who managed to win would ultimately

CRKuro: ,have their score doubled in the final round by Teiko.

IZUKI: He told me...

HYUGA: "Your hard work will be rewarded."

HYUGA: What kind of idiot came up with that nonsense?

HYUGA: An ordinary man who works hard is just wasting his time!

IZUKI: So...

KIYOSHI: I'm not just trying to get enough people.

KIYOSHI: I really want Hyuga to play.

KIYOSHI: More than anyone else, he...

KIYOSHI: Hey, Hyuga.

HYUGA: You again!

KIYOSHI: Let's walk home together.

HYUGA: Get off of me!

KIYOSHI: Will you join the basketball team?

RIKO: You're still going?

RIKO: You never stop.

HYUGA: I need more endurance.

HYUGA: I need to be able to run more!

RIKO: You idiot.

HYUGA: Did you say something?

KIYOSHI: No.

HYUGA: I see...

HYUGA: Hey, where are you going?

HYUGA: This isn't the way home.

HYUGA: Just so you know, I'm not playing basketball.

KIYOSHI: I know. I won't ask anymore.

HYUGA: What?

KIYOSHI: That is...

KIYOSHI: Only if you can beat me one-on-one.

HYUGA: Wh-What?

HYUGA: Listen to me.

HYUGA: You were in a top four middle school!

HYUGA: There's no way I can beat you!

KIYOSHI: If you can make just one basket, you win.

KIYOSHI: Is that not enough of a handicap?

HYUGA: Shut up.

HYUGA: I don't care if you're the Iron Heart.

HYUGA: You're pushing your luck.

HYUGA: Don't underestimate me.

HYUGA: I'll make one before you know it.

Join,TEXT: Join the Basketball Team!!

HYUGA: I'm not done yet.

KIYOSHI: Hyuga, give up.

HYUGA: Shut up!

KIYOSHI: That's not what I meant.

KIYOSHI: Give up on giving up on basketball.

KIYOSHI: If you really hated basketball, I wouldn't say anything.

KIYOSHI: But you...

HYUGA: Shut up!

HYUGA: Ordinary men aren't like gifted guys like you!

KIYOSHI: Natural talent has nothing to do with it.

KIYOSHI: I'm just like you.

KIYOSHI: At the very least,

CRKuro: ,I...

KIYOSHI: I fought against the prodigies of Teiko and tasted despair, too.

KIYOSHI: I thought of throwing out my basketball shoes plenty of times.

KIYOSHI: No matter how many times I tried, I just couldn't let go.

KIYOSHI: You're the same.

KIYOSHI: You hate losing, and that's why you can't forget.

KIYOSHI: You like basketball as much as I do.

KIYOSHI: No, more than I do.

HYUGA: Don't talk like you know me!

HYUGA: I know that! That's why...

HYUGA: That's why I'm so bored every day!
