ALL: What?!

HYUGA: America?!

KOGANEI: Kagami?!

IZUKI: When?

RIKO: Our school has a short-term study abroad program.

RIKO: Our sister school is in Los Angeles, where Kagami-kun used to live.

RIKO: Apparently he has a master there who taught him basketball.

FURIHATA: A master?

HYUGA: I haven't heard anything about this.

RIKO: I just found out last night.

RIKO: This year's first-years have really been coming and going as they please.

RIKO: It's like they're messing around with me.

KUROKO: Why me?

KUROKO: Ow, ow...

KUROKO: I'm sorry.

HYUGA: Well... If he's going to come back stronger,

CRKuro: ,I can't complain.

EpTitle,EPTITLE: Episode Definitely This Time

KAGETORA: Okay, go play cops and robbers.

ALL: Again?!

KAGETORA: The losers will do double strength training.

ALL: Yes, sir!

RIKO: How are they, Dad?

KAGETORA: Riko-tan!

KAGETORA: Today you're exceptionally—

RIKO: I don't care about that!

RIKO: Well?

KAGETORA: They just have to do what they have to do.

KAGETORA: On weekends they improve their stamina with fartlek sessions.

KAGETORA: On weekdays they improve their individual skills.

KAGETORA: How much more they'll improve in half a month is up to them.

RIKO: Endurance training aside,

CRKuro: ,can they really master special moves in less than a month?

KAGETORA: The first-years can't, but the second-years...

KAGETORA: They can probably do it.

KAGETORA: Airhead already has his own style, and he's talented.

KAGETORA: Four-eyes and cutie have found answers on their own.

KAGETORA: The remaining three will surely manage something.

RIKO: What about Kuroko-kun?

KAGETORA: Sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

KAGETORA: What?

KAGETORA: I've never seen a player like him before.

KAGETORA: He's a mutant.

KAGETORA: It's pathetic, but I have no idea what to teach him.

KAGETORA: But, well... I've given him some advice.

KAGETORA: I told him about the wall he's likely to hit soon.

KAGETORA: How he'll overcome it is up to him.

MAN: What's up, Taiga?

MAN: You giving up already?

KAGAMI: Shut up!

KAGAMI: I'm getting the hang of it!

KAGAMI: One more time!

HAYAKAWA: Hey! I can't rebound if you dunk!

MORIYAMA: Kise's pumped.

MIYAJI: What?!

PLAYERS: Wow, Murasakibara!

MURASAKI: I'm tired.

HIMURO: You're so weird, Atsushi.

MURASAKI: What?

HIMURO: You practice harder than everyone else

CRKuro: ,and complain the whole time.

MURASAKI: I don't like practice.

MURASAKI: I just hate losing even more.

MIBUCHI: Sei-chan, here.

AKASHI: Thanks.

RAKUZAN A: He's ridiculous.

RAKUZAN A: Akashi's already a prodigy, but he trains so hard.

RAKUZAN A: He must be starved for victory.

MIBUCHI: No, he's not that weak.

MIBUCHI: It's not about doing what it takes to win.

MIBUCHI: Sei-chan told me before.

MIBUCHI: Winning is just like breathing.

MIBUCHI: Victory isn't something Sei-chan seeks.

MIBUCHI: It's a natural part of his life.

MIBUCHI: It's a basic bodily function.

FUKUDA: He'll be here soon.

HYUGA: Unbelievable.

KAWAHARA: This is amazing.

KAWAHARA: The Inter-High courts were amazing, but this is even bigger.

FURIHATA: On top of that...

FURIHATA: Everywhere you look are schools we've seen in books or magazines.

FURIHATA: We're supposed to fight these monsters?

HYUGA: Idiots!

HYUGA: Ow!

HYUGA: We weren't invited as guests.

HYUGA: Hold your heads high.

BOTH: Yes, sir!

HYUGA: Right?

HYUGA: Right?!

IZUKI: You're scared, too.

KUROKO: Sorry, but could I step out for a bit?

RIKO: I told you not to wander off.

KUROKO: Yes, but...

KUROKO: I've been summoned.

KIYOSHI: Summoned?

KUROKO: I'm going to see Akashi-kun.

IZUKI: The captain of the Generation of Miracles...

RIKO: Fine.

RIKO: We've got a game this afternoon.

RIKO: Be back by then.

KUROKO: Okay.

RIKO: Furihata-kun.

RIKO: Could you follow him?

FURIHATA: Okay.

AOMINE: You've got a babysitter, Tetsu?

MURASAKI: Minechin, you've got Sacchin.

AOMINE: Satsuki's got nothing to do with this.

KISE: Midorimacchi, why do you have scissors?

MIDORIMA: It's obviously my lucky item, you idiot.

KISE: It's dangerous, though.

KISE: I wish you wouldn't walk around with them out like that.

KUROKO: Sorry to keep you waiting.

CRKuro: ,Wha—

FURIHATA: Are all the members of the Generation of Miracles here?

FURIHATA: Seriously? That's crazy.

FURIHATA: I'm so scared. I want to go home.

AOMINE: Your phone's annoying, Kise.

AOMINE: Is it Akashi?

KISE: It's...

KISE: A text from a fangirl.

AOMINE: Go die!

MURASAKI: Huh?

MURASAKI: Midochin, let me borrow those scissors.

MIDORIMA: No.

MURASAKI: What?

MURASAKI: Kurochin, do you have any?

KUROKO: No, I don't.

FURIHATA: They're speaking normally,

FURIHATA: but the air feels so heavy.

KISE: Why's the guy who summoned us here the last to arrive?

MIDORIMA: There's no need to be upset.

MIDORIMA: That's how he is.

AOMINE: Sheesh...

AKASHI: I apologize that I've kept you waiting.

KUROKO: Akashi-kun.

FURIHATA: What?

FURIHATA: That's the captain of the Generation of Miracles?

AKASHI: Daiki, Ryota, Shintaro, Atsushi, and Tetsuya.

AKASHI: I'm glad to see you again.

AKASHI: I'm deeply moved we were all able to meet like this.

AKASHI: However, there's someone here who doesn't belong.

AKASHI: I wish to speak only to my former teammates right now.

AKASHI: Sorry, but could you leave?

FURIHATA: I really want to, but...

FURIHATA: What's going on?

FURIHATA: I'm frozen, and I can't move.

KUROKO: Furihata-kun...

KAGAMI: Well, you're no fun.

KAGAMI: Don't exclude us.

FURIHATA: Kagami!

KAGAMI: I'm back.

KAGAMI: We can talk later.

KAGAMI: First...

KAGAMI: You're Akashi, huh?

KAGAMI: Glad to meet you.

AKASHI: Shintaro, could I borrow those scissors?

MIDORIMA: What are you going to use them for?

AKASHI: My hair is annoying me.

AKASHI: I've been wanting to trim it.

AKASHI: First...

AKASHI: You're Kagami-kun, aren't you?

KAGAMI: What?!

KUROKO: Kagami-kun!

FURIHATA: You're kidding, right?!

FURIHATA: He was really trying to hit him!

FURIHATA: What is he thinking?

FURIHATA: If Kagami hadn't dodged that...

AKASHI: My, my.

AKASHI: I'm surprised that you were able to dodge that.

AKASHI: In light of that display of grace, I'll forgive you this time.

AKASHI: However, there will be no second chance.

AKASHI: When I tell you to leave, leave.

AKASHI: In this world, winning is everything.

AKASHI: Winners are affirmed completely, and losers are denied completely.

AKASHI: I've never lost at anything before, and I never will.

AKASHI: Because I always win, and I am always right.

AKASHI: I show no mercy to those who oppose me.

AKASHI: Not even my own parents.

AKASHI: Well, I'm leaving.

AKASHI: I just wanted to say hello to everyone today.

AOMINE: What?

AOMINE: Don't be ridiculous, Akashi!

AOMINE: You summoned us just for that?

AKASHI: No...

AKASHI: I actually wanted to confirm something, but after seeing your faces,

CRKuro: ,I realized there was no need.

AKASHI: No one has forgotten our promise.

AKASHI: Everything's fine, then.

AKASHI: The next time we meet will be on the court.

Room,SIGN: Seirin High Locker Room

KUROKO: Kagami-kun, it's time.

KAGAMI: Yeah.

KAGAMI: Akashi had me at a loss, but that's all.

KAGAMI: There's no point thinking about a guy we're not facing yet.

KAGAMI: Besides, my head's full of thoughts of him right now.

Bracket,TEXT: Seirin (Tokyo)Touou Academy (Tokyo)

KAGAMI: Let's go!

AUDIENCE A: They're coming out!

AUDIENCE B: You can do it, Seirin!

KAWAHARA: Th-This is amazing!

KAWAHARA: Their cheers are like nothing I've ever heard.

FUKUDA: It's only the first day, but the seats are practically full.

FURIHATA: Are we popular?

HYUGA: Idiots, of course not.

FURIHATA: What?

IZUKI: "You can do it" probably doesn't mean what you think it does.

KAWAHARA: Huh?

KIYOSHI: Unfortunately, most of the spectators are here to see our opponents.

AUDIENCE C: They're here!

AUDIENCE C: How many points will they score today?!

AUDIENCE D: The rising tyrant, Touou Academy!

AUDIENCE C: And the prodigal scorer of the Generation of Miracles, Aomine Daiki!

AUDIENCE C: No one can beat him one-on-one.

AUDIENCE D: They say no one can tell what Imayoshi will do next.

AUDIENCE D: I've never seen a center run like Wakamatsu, either.

HYUGA: Amazing.

HYUGA: You can tell they placed second in the Inter-High.

RIKO: Don't lose your cool.

RIKO: We knew...

OFFICIAL: It's time.

OFFICIAL: Both schools, please line up.

HYUGA: Okay, let's go!

SEIRIN: Yeah!

RIKO: It's everyone's first national tournament, but they're all focused.

RIKO: Sheesh...

RIKO: They're especially promising today.

KAGAMI: Hey.

AOMINE: You seem to have improved a little.

KAGAMI: Well, yeah.

WAKAMATSU: Has Kagami always been like this?

WAKAMATSU: He used to ooze belligerence.

AOMINE: Yeah! Nice pass, Tetsu!

AOMINE: I really don't get it.

AOMINE: We can't agree on anything else, but we play basketball so well together.

AOMINE: I'm disappointed.

AOMINE: Your basketball will never win.

AOMINE: The only one who can beat me is me.

KAGAMI: In the face of overwhelming power,

CRKuro: ,I don't think we can win just by working together.

KUROKO: Those were not parting words,

CRKuro: ,but words meant to make us stop relying on each other

CRKuro: ,and become even stronger

KUROKO: so we could combine even greater strength to win.

KAGAMI: Don't be stupid.

KAGAMI: I'll become stronger, too.

KAGAMI: If you take too long, I'll leave you behind.

KAGAMI: Get stronger soon.

KAGAMI: Show me your new style of basketball.

KUROKO: We definitely won't lose this time.

AOMINE: Fine.

AOMINE: In that case, let's settle things

AOMINE: once and for all.

REFEREE: The game between Seirin High and

CRKuro: ,Touou Academy High will now begin.

IMAYOSHI: A good game.

IMAYOSHI: Well, well...

IMAYOSHI: He acts like a real captain now.

IMAYOSHI: Impressive.

IMAYOSHI: The other four don't seem nervous, either.

IMAYOSHI: I can tell from their expressions they've done everything they can.

KAGETORA: Good, good.

KAGETORA: Looks like it's about to start.

KAGETORA: Well, then.

KAGETORA: Let's see how far they can go.

KAGETORA: Huh? It's Kacchan.

KAGETORA: He's their coach?

KAGETORA: No wonder they're so strong.

NAKATANI: You're as noisy as ever, Tora.

KAGETORA: Mabo.

NAKATANI: I didn't expect to see you here.

KAGETORA: Hey, it's been a while, Mabo.

NAKATANI: Please, don't call me Mabo in front of my players.

OTSUBO: Mabo...

MIYAJI: Mabo...

KIMURA: They know each other?

TAKAO: I'll call him that next time.

NAKATANI: Anyway, what are you doing here, Tora?

KAGETORA: Huh?

KAGETORA: Well, you know...

KAGETORA: I came to see my students play.

NAKATANI: Seirin?

KAGETORA: Yeah.

KAGETORA: I only taught them for about a month, though.

NAKATANI: Tora,

CRKuro: ,you're not coaching anymore?

KAGETORA: Huh?

KAGETORA: Give me a break.

KAGETORA: I couldn't teach anyone.

KAGETORA: Besides, there's no need.

KAGETORA: After all...

KAGETORA: They've got my beloved daughter.

KAGETORA: She already turned them into my kind of team.

KAGETORA: We only had a short time together, but I taught them what I wanted.

KAGETORA: I'm satisfied watching now

KAGETORA: as those kids forge a path towards their futures.

RIKO: The beginning will be important.

RIKO: Our opponents placed second in the Inter-High.

RIKO: On top of that, they doubled our score last time.

RIKO: The difference between our strengths is glaring.

RIKO: If you think they're underestimating us, don't hold back.

RIKO: Start at full throttle and take the lead!

IMAYOSHI: How terrifying.

IMAYOSHI: Go easy on us to start, won't you?

IZUKI: This is...

TSUCHIDA: They're not underestimating us.

CATFACE: They're playing like it's the end of the game.

IMAYOSHI: Underestimate you?

IMAYOSHI: You must be kidding.

IMAYOSHI: We don't think you're that bad.

IMAYOSHI: If anything, we're playing as hard as we can.

IZUKI: Crap!

HYUGA: No, you don't!

HYUGA: It's not a shot? It's...

AUDIENCE: An alley-oop!

AOMINE: You're finally here?

AOMINE: You took your time.

IMAYOSHI: It's too bad you couldn't start strong and take the lead.

IMAYOSHI: Sorry, but we did it first.

RIKO: They got us! But...

RIKO: It wasn't unexpected.

RIKO: If they're going all-out, then just as we planned,

RIKO: we'll go with Kuroko-kun's improved Ignite Pass,

CRKuro: ,as*ault Number !

WAKAMATSU: Hey! Kuroko's passes shouldn't work against Aomine!

AOMINE: What is he trying to do?

AOMINE: That form...

AOMINE: Is it an Ignite Pass?!

KUROKO: No.

KUROKO: It's a little different.

KUROKO: Ignite Pass

KUROKO: Kai!
