CRKuro: ,Kuroko Episode “I Won't Lose”

TEXT: Episode

AOMINE: Are you trying to prove yourself my equal?

AOMINE: You can't do it.

AOMINE: Your light is too dim!

KAGAMI: I don't want to lose anymore.

KAGAMI: I'm sick of

CRKuro: ,seeing my friends cry!

KAGAMI: If I can't do it now,

CRKuro: ,when will I do it?!

EpTitle,EPTITLE: Episode I Won't Lose

IMAYOSHI: This game...

IMAYOSHI: Is this what happens when two guys in the Zone clash?

REFEREE: Out of bounds!

REFEREE: Black ball!

RIKO: What an unbelievable battle.

RIKO: Those two are in a completely different dimension.

KOGANEI: No one's scored for almost a minute.

TSUCHIDA: What's going to happen now?

AKASHI: Because they're both in the Zone,

CRKuro: ,their focus and reaction speed have exceeded their maximums.

HIMURO: Neither one is making any progress.

TAKAO: But why are both teams completely relying on their aces?

TAKAO: If they passed the ball around to the other four players, couldn't they score?

MIDORIMA: It's pointless.

MIDORIMA: It wouldn't change the outcome.

MIDORIMA: The Zone doesn't simply allow one to exhibit % of his strength.

MIDORIMA: All unnecessary information is cut.

MIDORIMA: His ability to handle necessary information regarding

CRKuro: ,not only the player in front of him,

CRKuro: ,but also the positions and movements of the other players increases.

TAKAO: What?

MIDORIMA: In other words, his field of view widens.

MIDORIMA: Furthermore, one is the fastest high school student,

CRKuro: ,and the other is the highest jumper.

MIDORIMA: They are far beyond the range of an ordinary person's defense.

KASAMATSU: Against those two, a half-hearted attack would actually be dangerous.

KASAMATSU: That's why the game has been left up to the two aces.

KISE: In this situation, how can they...

KISE: No, they're doing it because they're in this situation.

MOMOI: Aomine-kun...

MOMOI: He's always been like that.

MOMOI: Since he started playing street ball,

MOMOI: the stronger his opponent,

CRKuro: ,the more excitement and focus he played with.

MOMOI: He looks like he's having fun.

MOMOI: Aomine-kun and Kagami-kun...

MOMOI: The sparks the two aces sent flying captivated the entire stadium.

MOMOI: It seemed to continue endlessly, and everyone wished it would.

MOMOI: However, the conclusion was sudden.

FURIHATA: He passed him!

KOGANEI: Kagami!

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Touou Academy

TSUCHIDA: We're only three points behind now!

IMAYOSHI: That's impossible.

IMAYOSHI: Is Kagami faster? What's going on?

SAKURAI: He can't pass him?

IMAYOSHI: No! There's no way Kagami's faster!

IMAYOSHI: It must be

IMAYOSHI: the Zone's time limit!

IMAYOSHI: While the Zone allows an athlete to exhibit % of his power,

CRKuro: ,the recoil is significant.

IMAYOSHI: But why only Aomine?

KUROKO: An ace carrying his teammates' wishes cannot lose.

KUROKO: I believe in Kagami-kun.

AOMINE: Don't be ridiculous.

AOMINE: That can't make me...

KAGAMI: Aomine, you're strong.

KAGAMI: If this were a one-on-one, I would have lost.

KAGAMI: I've already exceeded my time limit, too.

KAGAMI: But the reason I can keep on fighting is I have support.

KAGAMI: I'm fighting with more than one man's strength!

KAGAMI: For all the guys...

KAGAMI: I will win!

ALL: Yeah!

KOGANEI: We're one point behind!

FURIHATA: But there are only seconds left. {this is the longest s in history}

TSUCHIDA: We can do it! I know we can!

HARASAWA: Excuse me.

HARASAWA: I'd like to call a time-out.

SUSA: Are you okay, Aomine?

AOMINE: Don't touch me.

AOMINE: I just tripped.

AOMINE: Don't get in my way.

AOMINE: This is the best part.

AOMINE: Things are just getting hyped up.

HARASAWA: I'm sorry.

HARASAWA: We don't need a time-out after all.

NAKATANI: Harasawa's not calling a time-out.

NAKATANI: Even if he calls one now...

NAKATANI: No, he should be calling one now.

KAGETORA: It's hard to say.

KAGETORA: There are some things you have to experience to understand.

KAGETORA: For better or for worse,

CRKuro: ,if he calls a time-out, it'll disrupt the flow of the game.

KAGETORA: Sometimes you make that call after seeing the look in your players' eyes.

KAGETORA: There are times when you prioritize emotion over strategy.

HYUGA: Come on!

HYUGA: Let's stop this shot, even if it kills us!

KISE: Amazing.

AKASHI: Their defense is good.

ALL: Defense! Defense! Defense!

IMAYOSHI: We're fully aware of that.

IMAYOSHI: There's only one thing for us to do.

IMAYOSHI: There are no more tricks left to play.

IMAYOSHI: But Aomine is still the strongest!

FUKUDA: He stopped him!

FURIHATA: Yeah, Kagami!

KOGANEI: He's cornered!

KAGAMI: Crap!

IZUKI: Impossible.

IZUKI: He can still make shots like that?

HYUGA: Damn it.

HYUGA: He's a monster.

AOMINE: I won't lose.

AOMINE: A battle's no fun if you don't win.

AUDIENCE A: He made the shot!

AUDIENCE B: Touou struck the k*lling blow!

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Touou Academy

AUDIENCE A: This three point difference is too much!

TAKAO: This isn't good. There's no time left.

KASAMATSU: Seirin doesn't have the strength left to play in overtime.

KASAMATSU: They can't tie the score with a three-pointer.

KASAMATSU: They need two more shots.

KISE: If things end like this, nothing will have changed.

KISE: I don't want to see that happen.

KISE: Win, Seirin!

KASAMATSU: Don't give up!

FUKUDA: There's no time!

KOGANEI: Do something...

KOGANEI: Please do something!

HYUGA: It's coming down to the wire.

HYUGA: I need to take a chance.

HYUGA: Barrier Jumper!

KUROKO: Misdirection Overflow!

HYUGA: It won't work.

HYUGA: Damn it.

HYUGA: His Overflow has stopped working.

HYUGA: Kuroko is truly at his limit.

KAGAMI: Captain!

HYUGA: Kagami!

HYUGA: Make the shot, Kagami!

KAGAMI: Crap.

KAGAMI: He's going to stop the dunk.

KAGAMI: What should I do?

KAGAMI: Damn it!

KUROKO: Kagami-kun!

MIDORIMA: Don't tell me you believe you can fight him in the air.

MIDORIMA: That is only half the answer.

KAGAMI: I'll become able to move at will in the air!

AOMINE: A pass?

RIKO: He finally conquered his assignment from the summer

CRKuro: ,at the very last second.

ALL: Go!

WAKAMATSU: No, you don't!

KIYOSHI: They're stronger than us,

KIYOSHI: but it's the only way to create an opportunity for a comeback!

WAKAMATSU: A fake?

WAKAMATSU: Is this b*stard...

REFEREE: Defense! Pushing!

REFEREE: Black No. ! Basket counts!

REFEREE: One throw!

ALL: All right!

RIKO: You're amazing, Teppei.

RIKO: But I'm even more surprised by Kagami-kun's assist.

RIKO: In order to improve his aerial battle, he'd been practicing

CRKuro: ,his left-handed handling since the summer.

RIKO: He may have been in the Zone,

CRKuro: ,but I can't believe he made it happen at the eleventh hour.

AOMINE: I can't believe he passed there.

AOMINE: Not bad.

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Touou Academy

KISE: They're one point behind.

KASAMATSU: And they drew a defensive foul.

KASAMATSU: They've got another free throw.

TAKAO: There are five seconds left.

TAKAO: If they make this, they'll be tied.

TAKAO: The game will go into overtime.

MIDORIMA: That path will only lead to their demise.

MIDORIMA: Seirin needs to make a comeback here to win.

MIDORIMA: To do that...

IMAYOSHI: Their course of action is decided.

IMAYOSHI: There's only one thing they can do now.

IMAYOSHI: They won't make this free throw.

IMAYOSHI: No, they'll make sure it'll miss.

HYUGA: Then we'll steal the ball and score.

HYUGA: It's the only way to win.

HYUGA: We've given everything we have and are at our limit,

CRKuro: ,but they've got stamina and benched players to spare.

HYUGA: Our loss is certain in an overtime game.

HYUGA: However, with Kiyoshi sh**ting, Kagami and I will be rebounding.

HYUGA: Naturally, I'll go for the ball with everything I have.

HYUGA: But...

HYUGA: If anyone has a chance, it's you, Kagami.

HYUGA: Let's go.

HYUGA: This is our last play.

HYUGA: A battle for the rebound!

REFEREE: One shot!

HARASAWA: What?!

SAKURAI: He's wide open!

SAKURAI: He can take it to the basket!

SAKURAI: We won!

IMAYOSHI: Wait a minute!

CRKuro: ,What...

IMAYOSHI: What are you doing there?!

IMAYOSHI: Kuroko!

IMAYOSHI: Even though I'm on his team,

CRKuro: ,I thought Kagami had the ball for a moment

CRKuro: ,and was a few seconds late to move after Aomine knocked the ball away.

IMAYOSHI: I can't believe he moved faster than me.

IMAYOSHI: That's impossible.

IMAYOSHI: Did he believe not in Kagami, but in Aomine instead?!

KUROKO: No, that's not quite right.

KUROKO: I believed in both.

KUROKO: However, there's only one person I believe will make the final shot!

KUROKO: Kagami-kun!

ALL: Go, Kagami!

KUROKO: Besides, I'm sure you'll meet someone more amazing than yourself soon.

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Touou Academy

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Seirin

REFEREE: Time's up!

AOMINE: I...

CRKuro: ,...lost?

AOMINE: I see...

AOMINE: I lost.

CRKuro: ,I...

REFEREE: Line up!

HYUGA: Kuroko!

KAGAMI: Are you okay?

AOMINE: Sheesh.

AOMINE: You can barely stand with support.

AOMINE: No one can tell who won now.

AOMINE: But maybe that was for the best.

AOMINE: The reason I lost was that difference.

KAGAMI: Why are you acting like it's all over?

KAGAMI: Things are just getting started.

KAGAMI: Let's play again.

KAGAMI: I'll take you on.

AOMINE: Shut up, idiot.

KUROKO: Aomine-kun.

AOMINE: Your basketball cannot win.

AOMINE: You win, Tetsu.

KUROKO: Can I ask you for a favor?

KUROKO: You still haven't returned my fist bump.

AOMINE: What?!

AOMINE: Who cares about that?

KUROKO: No.

KUROKO: Try putting yourself in the shoes of the ignored.

AOMINE: Fine.

AOMINE: This is

CRKuro: ,the last time, though.

AOMINE: Next time, I'll win.

KUROKO: Okay.

REFEREE: Seirin High wins with a score of to !

REFEREE: Bow!

PLAYERS: Thanks for the game!

IMAYOSHI: Thanks for everything.

IMAYOSHI: Wakamatsu will be the new captain.

IMAYOSHI: Make us proud.

WAKAMATSU: Wait...

WAKAMATSU: What?!

IMAYOSHI: You'll be fine.

IMAYOSHI: It can't be taught. You'll get used to it.

WAKAMATSU: That's not the problem.

WAKAMATSU: You changed subjects so quickly.

IMAYOSHI: What are you talking about?

IMAYOSHI: We lost our first game.

IMAYOSHI: If you've got time to be sad, go home and practice.

SAKURAI: Their eyes...

SAKURAI: It's only natural.

SAKURAI: They're third-years.

SAKURAI: This was their last tournament.

SAKURAI: There's no way they wouldn't feel something.

WAKAMATSU: But I won't be able to handle Aomine the way you do, Imayoshi-san.

IMAYOSHI: Don't you like Aomine?

WAKAMATSU: I don't.

IMAYOSHI: Then who do you think is most suited to being this team's ace?

WAKAMATSU: Aomine.

IMAYOSHI: As long as you understand that, you'll be fine.

IMAYOSHI: I'm not worried.

WAKAMATSU: Speaking of which, where's Aomine?

SAKURAI: He's missing, and Momoi-san's looking for him.

WAKAMATSU: That brat!

MOMOI: I found you.

MOMOI: Don't go wandering off by yourself.

MOMOI: Come on. Let's go back to the rest of the team.

AOMINE: Satsuki, are you free tomorrow?

MOMOI: What? Well, yeah.

AOMINE: Will you go shopping with me?

MOMOI: What?

MOMOI: Sure, I guess.

MOMOI: What? Where did that come from?

AOMINE: I want new basketball shoes.

AOMINE: I want to practice.

MOMOI: Sure. Let's go, Dai-chan.

MOMOI: Buy me dinner, though.

AOMINE: What?!
