I love it how in the Middle School flashback Riko and friends were all like "They really stand out" but as they leave Kuroko passes by. xD

I try to hate Hanamiya but he's voiced by FukuJun, who I love..................

But anyways, damn. Kiyoshi and Hyuga's friendship is really heartwarming. This is great setup for Seirin to completely kick Kirisaki Dai Ichi to the curb. I can't imagine how Seirin would lose, especially with THIS backstory.

Boring episode. Who really cares about the story of these characters ?! I want to see match against Aomine and Murasakibara.

There is noting really interesting so far. Aslo, Why the hell this anime is rated @8.79 ?! This just unbelievably overrated. So far this season is inferior to last season (and 1st season was also overrated)

Teppei is more suited to be the captain than Hyuga, because he encourage all the members and even the coach.

Lol, I think they didn't noticed Kuroko passes by.

So that's why this time is the only chance of Teppei and the team to be the best team in Japan.
I wonder if they knew that Riko knows about this

next episode we're back on track
Damn, I'm super excited for their next match.

Love this flashbacks. That moment when they saw the Generation of miracles. Kuroko! although they didn't saw him.

That Jun Fukuyama's voice O.O I don't like that character he voice, he's just a dirty player. I hope they crush him.

And so Hyuga turned normal :p He is my fav for sure though. That awkward almost done high-five xD

Poor Kuroko, didn't get notice at all, haha. I already hate that cheater-kun or whatever his name is. I just love how they draw clouds in this anime.

Touching flashback indeed

I was a basketball manager for 3 years in high school, and there were asshole players and asshole coaches. But, these attitudes and personalities of some of these characters is the kind of stuff you see in a game of prison gorilla basketball. Even street ball has more honor. Was the writer of this a prison inmate at some time in his life?

I love this show, but I can't help but wonder how much more interesting it would be if the high school setting were removed and replaced with a Sing Sing setting.

All that rambling aside, my heart goes out to my beloved Teppei. I want Seiren to become the best in Japan, so that Teppei will be able to leave the game in blaze of glory.

Hyuuga is a cutie, blond or black-haired. sO tsundere it hurts. And I swear in all of Kiyoshi and Hyuuga's conversations it sounded like confessions in the last two episodes. XD <3

Kiyoshi may act dense sometimes but then there are times that show he's not dense at all. For example, he knew what Hyuuga was trying to say in general when they were walking, but acted like he didn't. I don't know if he believed that Hyuuga really hated him at all, but the way he recalled Hyuuga's 'I hate you' after Hyuuga said his words in the hospital means something. He realized how much Hyuuga had changed, because he was able to say all those things when before he said 'I hate you' and implying that it was too embarassing for him to say anything too 'mushy'. So saying all these words was a big deal and so Kiyoshi was touched. ;^;

Next match against Kirisaki Dai Ichi is going to be even worse than this one ugh.

That's so sad about Teppei <3 I really grew to love him during this past arc... If it were me, I would have gone for full recovery! I can always play basketball later..... even if it's not officially with the same teammates. oh well, maybe he can do the surgery after and have a miracle recovery... but at least if he retires from basketball, it would be when they are the best in Japan!

Aw, that was touching. Great to see the beginnings of the club. However, what baffles me is why Riko, who has the ability to gauge physical abilities just by looking, didn't notice there was something wrong with Teppei's knee. He wouldn't have been injured seriously if he was pulled out, even at the expense of the game.

Oh, so that's how the rooftop tradition started.

"It's not Shorin... We're the Seirin High School basketball team!" Hyuuga is truly a leader.
Cool, Seirin actually saw Teiko before. And I see Kuroko still had no presence back then.

So it was Hanamiya's fault. That fucking bastard.
I just wish Seirin would crush Kirisaki Dai Ichi, but it seems like there will be casualties.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Man, this is some heavy stuff. Million Dollar Baby heavy stuff. As someone in sports, a hypothetical situation with choice between giving up on (a) competition or destroying my body in the process has always been a very disturbing speculation.

this season sure is better than the 1st, this episode just show it, the story just directed better.

i haven't realized too much what hanamaya did or his abilities are, but i really hate him.

poor teppei, he really don't deserve it.

and the scene where they see the teiko team were precious, especially since they have shown kuroko as a treat.

Teppei's persistence eh I mean love reached Hyuga. It was so awesome when he pulled up on the roof. Seirin did so well, that's also thanks to Riko and her hellish training xD


The scene at the end was so bitter, tho, fuck Hanamiya. Yet on the other hand, it brought these two even closer. The 2nd year counts. The flashback did a nice job at highlighting that while giving character development too.

Getting a peak on how the Seirin basketball club formed is great. Especially seeing Teppei lie about the severity of his injury just for his teammate's sake.

I always thought it was Reiko who started that tradition. It was a creative way to convince her they were serious about wanting to be number one. Hyuga's ego and hatred were what made him come back. I wonder if he still harbours that resentment from the past. Seeing how Teppei got injured really pissed me off. If they had confronted the guy afterwards, it would have been satisfying, but there was no retribution—he just got away with it. Now, Teppei's knee is messed up for the foreseeable future.
