02x23 - I Don't Want to Lose!

[bunniefuu]

MURASAKI: I just don't understand why people

CRKuro: ,work so hard when they can't win.

KIYOSHI: I said it doesn't matter if I win, but don't get the wrong idea.

KIYOSHI: I don't intend to lose, either!

MURASAKI: I'll show you just how cruel a sport basketball is.

MURASAKI: Hard work, determination, faith...

MURASAKI: I'll crush them all.

MURASAKI: All of them.

EpTitle,EPTITLE: Episode I Don't Want to Lose!

TSUCHIDA: Murasakibara's on offense?

KOGANEI: I thought his specialty was defense.

KUROKO: Murasakibara-kun is one of the more combative members

CRKuro: ,of the Generation of Miracles.

KUROKO: While he has little interest in basketball and is lazy,

CRKuro: ,he's actually better at offense.

KUROKO: In games like this that incur his wrath,

CRKuro: ,he's scored a record hundred points in a single game.

KAWAHARA: A hundred?

MASAKO: I didn't expect Murasakibara to move on his own, but

CRKuro: ,it's a fortunate miscalculation on our part.

MASAKO: Thanks for waking the monster.

MURASAKI: I'll show you.

MURASAKI: I'll show you such unfair play, it'll make your pretty words meaningless!

FUKUI: Three?

KIYOSHI: We don't expect to stop you with one.

MURASAKI: Really?

MURASAKI: So, what?

MASAKO: The hammer of destruction:

MASAKO: Thor's Hammer.

IZUKI: Guys!

MURASAKI: Oh, sorry.

MURASAKI: I didn't think you'd be knocked down so easily.

KIYOSHI: We're not finished yet!

IZUKI: With Murasakibara on offense,

CRKuro: ,we'll have opportunities for counterattacks.

IZUKI: We'll take back our points with fast breaks!

IZUKI: He caught up?

IZUKI: You're kidding!

KIYOSHI: Izuki!

TSUCHIDA: Kiyoshi point guard!

FURIHATA: They stopped triple-teaming him?

MURASAKI: I'll stop you myself.

MURASAKI: Come on!

TSUCHIDA: He jumped for the block!

FURIHATA: But Kiyoshi-senpai's true skill is his ability

CRKuro: ,to make passes with his Right of Postponement!

KIYOSHI: He blocked the path with his left hand?

MURASAKI: I'm tired of that strategy.

TSUCHIDA: He stopped it?

KOGANEI: Kiyoshi the point guard has been defeated.

KAGAMI: No, you don't, Murasakibara!

BOTH: Kagami!

MURASAKI: Basketball is a contest of shortcomings.

MURASAKI: The hoop is three meters in the air.

MURASAKI: You can't call that fair.

MURASAKI: The game favors the tall.

MURASAKI: That's the foundation of this shitty sport.

MURASAKI: What's so fun about this?

MURASAKI: To me, all ideals are nothing but trash.

AUDIENCE : He broke the hoop?

AUDIENCE : You're kidding.

HYUGA: That's not funny.

HIMURO: That surprised me, too.

FUKUI: Honestly, I've never been more glad he's on our side.

REFEREE: D-Due to the broken hoop,

CRKuro: ,the game will be put on hold until it can be replaced!

School: ,Shoei Junior High

MAN : You're working hard.

MAN : Don't push yourself too hard.

KIYOSHI: It's so fun, I can't help it.

KIYOSHI: I used to have a complex about my huge size,

CRKuro: ,but I found something even it can do.

KIYOSHI: Besides, no matter who I run into,

CRKuro: ,I want to be able to protect everyone.

MURASAKI: Is that all?

MURASAKI: I got annoyed and gave it all I had, but it looks like I didn't need to.

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Teiko

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Shoei

MURASAKI: During the game, I think you said something about protecting someone.

MURASAKI: You couldn't protect anything.

HYUGA: He's doing this right out of the gate?

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Yosen

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Seirin

HYUGA: We can't stop Murasakibara!

KIYOSHI: Aren't I

CRKuro: ,good enough?

FUKUI: Rebound!

KIYOSHI: No!

KIYOSHI: It's not over yet!

FURIHATA: Vice Claw!

MURASAKI: Is this how you do it?

KAGAMI: What?

KAGAMI: Murasakibara used the Vice Claw?

KIYOSHI: Impossible...

HYUGA: No way!

KAGAMI: You can't be serious!

KIYOSHI: No you don't!

KIYOSHI: I won't let it happen again!

IZUKI: Kagami!

HYUGA: Kiyoshi!

KAGAMI: Damn it!

KAGAMI: Kiyoshi-senpai!

RIKO: Teppei!

KIYOSHI: It's not...

KIYOSHI: It's not over yet.

KIYOSHI: Thanks.

MURASAKI: This is reality.

MURASAKI: Unable to do anything, you ran out of strength.

MURASAKI: If you're benched, you will die completely inside.

MURASAKI: No matter how you struggle, Seirin will lose.

MURASAKI: How do you feel?

MURASAKI: You weren't able to protect anything again,

CRKuro: ,but did you have fun playing basketball?

HYUGA: Murasakibara, what do you think you're doing?

MURASAKI: I just helped him up.

MURASAKI: Here.

HYUGA: Kiyoshi...

REFEREE: Seirin, member change!

KUROKO: Kiyoshi-senpai!

KIYOSHI: Sorry.

KIYOSHI: The rest is up to you.

KIYOSHI: Please win.

KAGAMI: Murasakibara, you b*stard!

MURASAKI: What are you so mad about?

KUROKO: You said if we benched Kiyoshi-senpai,

CRKuro: ,Seirin would lose, no matter how we struggled.

MURASAKI: Yeah.

KUROKO: The game isn't over yet. Besides,

KUROKO: even if he's not on the court, his will is with us.

KUROKO: I will beat you in his place!

MURASAKI: Beat me?

MURASAKI: If you're being serious,

MURASAKI: I'll crush you.

MURASAKI: Even you, Kurochin.

MOMOI: Hey... What's going on?

AOMINE: Murasakibara's bad habits again.

AOMINE: He just came out of the second team yesterday, too. {I'm not really sure what this line means...}

MURASAKI: You think you can accomplish anything

CRKuro: ,using hard work with your level of skill?

MURASAKI: Maybe you should just quit basketball.

MOMOI: Jeez... Why does Mukkun always...

MIDORIMA: Don't bother.

MIDORIMA: Those who can come back will.

MIDORIMA: If they can be told to quit, they wouldn't have lasted long either way.

MIDORIMA: Case in point, Kuroko is still here.

KUROKO: I like basketball and work hard to get better at it.

KUROKO: What's wrong with that?

MURASAKI: Everything. It's pointless.

MURASAKI: Do you think everyone can make their dreams come true through hard work?

MURASAKI: Hard work isn't always rewarded.

MURASAKI: That's common sense.

KUROKO: I can't deny that.

KUROKO: I believe in skill and natural talent.

KUROKO: However,

CRKuro: ,that doesn't mean hard work won't be rewarded.

KISE: Those two usually get along.

KISE: Anyway, it's a good thing Akashicchi and the coaches are out.

KISE: If they were here, they'd punish this heavily.

AOMINE: Maybe they just can't help it.

AOMINE: After all, they've walked completely different paths.

AOMINE: Despite his lack of interest in basketball,

CRKuro: ,the talented Murasakibara has experienced victory after victory.

AOMINE: Without talent despite his love of the game,

CRKuro: ,Tetsu experienced hopelessness before finally finding his way.

AOMINE: It's impossible for them to see eye-to-eye.

KISE: Who do you think is right, Aominecchi?

AOMINE: How should I know?

AOMINE: Everyone's free to have their own opinion on basketball.

AOMINE: There's no point in denying it.

AOMINE: However, if you want to push your convictions, you have to win.

KUROKO: I'll never lose to someone like you who denies the efforts of others!

MURASAKI: I keep telling you, your pretty words are so annoying, Kurochin.

KIYOSHI: Please, Kuroko.

LIU: I'll stop you!

IZUKI: He's closing in faster than the last half.

IZUKI: This is...

HIMURO: Atsushi, if he makes a disappearing shot, don't slap the ball away.

HIMURO: His shot appears to disappear, but the ball doesn't disappear.

HIMURO: Even if you can't see it, the ball is following a flight path like a normal shot.

HIMURO: When blocking his shots,

CRKuro: ,keep your arm out between him and the hoop.

MURASAKI: I can't touch the ball at this height?

HIMURO: Atsushi, no!

HIMURO: It's a pass!

KAGAMI: I can't break it after all.

MURASAKI: b*stard...

KOGANEI: All right!

MURASAKI: You're all about working together, aren't you?

MURASAKI: But I told you.

MURASAKI: Everything is trash before me.

KUROKO: Of course we're working together.

KUROKO: However, I told you.

KUROKO: Murasakibara-kun,

KUROKO: I will beat you.

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun's on Mukkun?

MURSAKI: If you keep playing around, you'll get hurt, Kurochin.

KUROKO: I'm not playing around.

KUROKO: I'm going to stop you, Murasakibara-kun.

MURASAKI: This is...

MURASAKI: He's so light.

MURASAKI: You're so light, I can't even tell you're there.

MURASAKI: What are you made of, cotton candy?

FUKUI: It's like he's not even there!

FUKUI: Make the shot, Atsushi!

MURASAKI: He's not there?

MURASAKI: Where did he go?

HIMURO: Atsushi!

REFEREE: Charging, white No. !

REFEREE: Seirin ball!

AOMINE: I see.

KAGAMI: Are you okay?

KUROKO: Thank you.

AOMINE: He used his lack of power and presence to make him think

CRKuro: ,he wasn't even there, and moved into his path.

KUROKO: Basketball's not so simple

CRKuro: ,that you can win just by being big, Murasakibara-kun.

MURASAKI: You've done it now.

HYUGA: Nice work, Kuroko.

IZUKI: When you said you'd take on Murasakibara alone,

CRKuro: ,I couldn't believe it, but that worked.

KUROKO: I won't be able to use that strategy anymore.

KUROKO: After this,

KUROKO: let me use that defense formation.

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Yosen

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Seirin

OKAMURA: Barrier Jumper?

OKAMURA: Is he pulling that out now?

LIU: A sudden three-pointer?

FUKUI: Kiyoshi's not on the inside anymore.

FUKUI: If he misses, a counterattack is guaranteed.

HYUGA: What? There's no way I'll miss!

HYUGA: Kuroko's not the only one.

HYUGA: I want to throw a wrench in your plans, too!

MASAKO: What?

HYUGA: Let's go!

HYUGA: New formation!

MOMOI: Full court man-to-man defense?

HIMURO: This is their strategy.

HIMURO: If they let Atsushi get the ball, they won't be able to stop him.

OKAMURA: By setting up their defense before Murasakibara gets under the basket,

CRKuro: ,they're forcing a battle of stamina and speed.

FUKUI: In order to break through, we'll have to use speed, too! {I'm assuming they mean the drug}

FUKUI: Run!

FUKUI: If you stop moving, they'll jump on you!

OKAMURA: Hold on.

FUKUI: Atsushi!

OKAMURA: How long has he been marking me?

HIMURO: It's not just a full court man-to-man defense.

HIMURO: They're switching their marks continuously.

RIKO: We told you.

RIKO: It's a new formation.

RIKO: This formation gives Kuroko-kun the highest chance of stealing.

RIKO: It's the Stealth Full-Court Man-to-Man Defense.

TSUCHIDA: Kuroko!

ScoreboardL,SCORE: Yosen

ScoreboardR,SCORE: Seirin

HIMURO: Breaking through a full-court defense requires speed and passing,

CRKuro: ,but with Kuroko-kun frequently changing his mark,

CRKuro: ,we can't throw careless passes!

FUKUI: If we can't pass...

FUKUI: What?

FUKUI: Did he let me by on purpose because he knew Kuroko was there?

FURIHATA: All right!

FUKUDA: Izuki-senpai!

REFEREE: No count!

KAGAMI: Don't worry about it.

IZUKI: Yeah.

REFEREE: We will now take a two minute break.

MURASAKI: Ow!

MASAKO: Don't take your anger out on objects!

MASAKO: The fourth quarter will start with a throw-in from us.

MASAKO: The game will start automatically as half-court,

CRKuro: ,so we have to make this shot.

MASAKO: After that, if we move carelessly

CRKuro: ,against their full-court man-to-man,

CRKuro: ,it's easy to lose sight of Kuroko.

MASAKO: If we pass, the risk of the ball being stolen increases.

MASAKO: Consequently, we have only one option for breaking through.

MASAKO: Himuro will dribble the ball through.

MASAKO: Yosen's ace isn't Murasakibara.

MASAKO: We have the double aces of Murasakibara and Himuro.

IZUKI: Running a full-court defense is rough.

IZUKI: Can we last until the end of the game?

HYUGA: We'll make it last.

RIKO: But I can't imagine that Yosen won't try anything.

KAGAMI: Coach, about that.

KAGAMI: Once they break through our full-court defense

CRKuro: ,and move to a half-court game,

CRKuro: ,let us run a - zone with me in the middle.

IZUKI: What?

HYUGA: The same formation as Yosen?

KAGAMI: Like Murasakibara, I'll cover the entire two point area.

KOGANEI: You can do that?

KAGAMI: No matter who comes, I'll stop them.

KAGAMI: For Kiyoshi-senpai.

KIYOSHI: Kagami...

RIKO: Got it.

RIKO: In the fourth quarter, we'll run the

CRKuro: ,Stealth Man-to-Man Full-Court and a - zone half-court...

HYUGA: Kiyoshi, why are you just sitting there?

HYUGA: If you have any good ideas...

HYUGA: What?

HYUGA: Why are you crying?

RIKO: Teppei?

KIYOSHI: Oh, this is...

KIYOSHI: Why am I crying?

HYUGA: That's what I'd like to know!

KIYOSHI: I don't know how to put it, but it's probably...

KIYOSHI: You guys seem so reliable, I'm relieved.

KIYOSHI: When I realized I wasn't alone, I couldn't help myself.

HYUGA: What? Why are you stating the obvious now?

HYUGA: I'm actually kind of pissed!

KIYOSHI: What?

KAGAMI: Sorry. Honestly, I'm angry, too.

KUROKO: Me, too.

IZUKI: Koga, could you get my slap stick out of my bag?

KOGANEI: Huh? Did you really put...

KOGANEI: You did?!

RIKO: Hey, this isn't the time for that!

KIYOSHI: Oh,

CRKuro: ,I get it.

KIYOSHI: A team isn't just something to be protected.

KIYOSHI: A team also protects you.

KIYOSHI: We don't support each other because we're a team.

KIYOSHI: We're a team because we support each other.

KIYOSHI: I won't waver again.

KIYOSHI: I...

KUROKO: Why don't we form a circle again?

KUROKO: In some ways, I think Murasakibara-kun was right when he said

CRKuro: ,basketball isn't fair.

KUROKO: However,

CRKuro: ,basketball isn't a game you play alone.

KUROKO: I want to win together, and I believe we can do it.

HYUGA: Okay, then.

HYUGA: Let's go!

HYUGA: Seirin, fight!

ALL: Yeah!

MURASAKI: It looks like you were hyping each other up, but...

MURASAKI: I'm going to crush everything.

KUROKO: Seirin's not that weak.

KAGAMI: I won't hold back.

HIMURO: Of course. Let's settle this.

HYUGA: Let's go!

HYUGA: Let's win this game!

KIYOSHI: Riko, I really do like basketball.

KIYOSHI: I'm glad I play.

RIKO: Where did that come from?

KIYOSHI: So I'm sorry.

KIYOSHI: This is the last time.

KIYOSHI: I need a favor.

KASAMATSU: Seirin benched Kiyoshi?

KASAMATSU: They're hanging on, but it's rough.

KISE: What are you doing, Kagamicchi?

KASAMATSU: What's he panicking for?

Next EpTitle,TEXT: Enough

KISE: He's not panicking, he's relying on the zone.
