| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was actually kinda fun, not as good as the previous match but still has its moments. Episode had Kuroko play more moves although I can't say I'm very impressed. Some of the plays felt really repetitive though but I liked the expression in Kise's eyes. That's the resolve of a pro. |

| Kimura-san's character approving Red's level to be similar as miracle generation and doesn't want to lose to him. But he got changed because of his leg. The captain of the enemy somehow figured out Kuroko's skill. Even though he was shocked, Red comforted him. Kimura-san's character is remembering how strict the captain is since the beginning. They are pressing the enemy team without Kimura-san's character. They don't give up, though, as they pressing themselves to get the points until he can come back. |

| This episode was really good for Kasamatsu fans (aka me:')) the beautiful first meeting of Kikasa and man,Kagami is pissing me off but that's probably just coz i am bitter Kaijo fangirl Anyway,KAIJO! |
| I feel that they held back this episode. |

| I laughed so hard at Kise's little introduction |

Fiji said: I feel that they held back this episode. considering the difference in points and that kagami is playing and kise is not..hell yeah they held back! |
| Whaaaat? Not enough time to explain? How come you can have huge flashbacks, huge person to person conversations, huge thought trains, but yet you couldn't explain one small thing. How is time manipulated in this series? A physics PhD couldn't even write a report on this. Only right now you feel like you won't lose? What about at the beginning of the game when you were challenging Kise? Were you thinking you going to lose and that was just a brave move? |
 |
Furuhashi said: Indeed!!! :DBadass Kasamatsu is badass Kasamatsu. But I have to admit with Kise leaving the court, personally felt the tension plummeted this episode. Still really enjoyable though!!!! PhantomL said: Well rather than laugh I was kinda more like....... (＠_＠;)I laughed so hard at Kise's little introduction |

| Kagami being totally unaffected by the double teaming was cool to see and just goes to show how much he improved. Still, this episode was a slideshow at certain points, I hope they're saving up to go crazy on those last 2 minutes, which will hopefully be Perfect Copy Kise vs Kagami in the zone. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| YEAH KISE YOU OBEY THAT SENPAI |
 |
| We finally see the " logic" behind the phantom shot. Kasamatsu FTW |
 |
| AHH LOVE SEEING MORE KISE specially with that flashbacks on kaijou so cute -3- i'm hoping to see him back now and kagami keeps being amazing |
_______________________________ every moment i spent with you shined because the weather was good because the weather was bad because the weather was good enough i loved every moment of it. |
| Good episode. So Kise is going to play the last 2 min of the match next episode :) . I wonder if Kuroko will play again in this match, now that his phantom shot is ineffective. |

| Somehow this episode took all of Kaijo's badass moments in the manga and... melted them... still alright tho I guess. |

| Kasamatsu was really cool this episode. Destroying the phantom shot, the flashback and making Kise clear on how Kaijo plays. The last basket shown was really filled with Kaijo's effort to hold on to the game. But yeah, looking forward to Kise playing and possibly Kuroko coming up with more offensive moves for himself. |
 |
| So Nakamura said to have National Level of defense skills.. But It doesn't look like that.... Great that Kaijo can play well even without Kise. Kuroko's power got broken again.. |
| The match is getting quite intense. Kasamatsu manages to see through the Phantom Shot. At least Kuroko is not that depressed about it. Kagami getting all fired up. No one seems to be able to stop him for now. Kise getting benched. |

| Am I the only one cheering for Kaijo? I mean, sure, they have 0% chance of winning since this season must end with Seirin vs GOM captain, but still. Those guys are really interesting and I really like them, Kise included. Oh well, it might just be my love for underdogs :) |

| Good to see the teams mix it up a bit without Kise and Kuroko. The teams' strategies obviously changed without their presence and the addition of Mitobe and Nakamura. Kasamatsu seems like a really good captain with his will and determination. Respect! |
| Kise moe introduction? lol This arc is kinda boring now that Kise is injured. Hopefully the last "2 minutes" he comes back for are interesting, assuming he actually does come back. |
 |
| I usually love KnB episodes but *don't hurt me Kise lovers >.<* Kise and his team pulling even more tricks out of their ass as I'm sure they'll do even more is getting kinda annoying. It was cool to see it against that weirdo who keeps licking his thumb but just seeing more of it annoys me, personally. I know everyone loves it but it's getting ridiculous. |
| love how the mid-cards get a push and not just the main characters in this anime i found myself cheering for kaijo xD |

Maybe next week we'll see Mitobe. At the end, it looked like the entire Kaijou team ran up to the camera and started talking shit to the TV audience. =) |
| Kasamatsu was pretty badass explaining how the kouhai should respect their senpai's effort, it's not about who's older and who's younger. Kaijo's rebound was damn good at the end. On the other hand, bleh benched Kise. |

| Omg, I feel so bad for Kise! He's my favorite and i knew leg was going to fuck him over, but it sucks so much to see it happen. This is one of the few if not the only time I really wanted Seiren to lose. Great episode though |
| Kise's two minutes will be something to look forward to. Imagine if he didn't injure his foot. |
| Decent episode. The Kaijo badass moments were badly done though.. |

LPGeneratorx said: Decent episode. The Kaijo badass moments were badly done though.. Agreed. I still don't find myself enjoying the games as much as season 1. Personally the show has dipped each season S1>S2>S3 but that is just me. I haven't been sucked into a game at all this season. |
| hmmmm seems like the show just isnt as good as it should be. overrated much? score on mal is way too high too... not that im not enjoying it, just not as much as im expecting to. |
| How do I signature? |
| Damn nice defensive plays and Hustle from Kasamatsu, He is a great leader. |
| omg i can't believe Kise's self introduction has him twirling and posing xD and Kasamatsu tho. he's such a great senpai, the world needs more people like him :3 aaaaah this episode made me fall for kasamatsu yukio lol |
 |
| Ah yes, now we have gotten to where Kise has to sit due to his injury. Seirin definitely is the stronger team now, but Kaijo is playing with more urgency atm. Time for the lead to start bloating before the epic return of Kise for the final minutes! >:D The preview has me so hyped for this! Kise's introduction in his flashback truly elicits a WTF reaction from me. xD Hilarious and well done by his seiyuu. Kasamatsu is an amazing captain to watch. Really neat to see that Kaijo is the underdog now since Seirin has been in that spot for every big match so far. |
 |
| Decent backstory, aside that nothing special, hopefully the next episode is gonna be a lot better. |
 |
| Good episode, hopefully this match ends soon. I liked the explanation behind the phantom shot, seemed reasonable. |
 |
| the match continues, and without kise and kuroko for most of the episode. and lol kise's introduction, kind of embarassing :D |

| You see, this is what I hate about techniques being explained in KnB. They make no fucking sense. Kuroko apparently misdirected Murasakibara's eyes towards someone who was behind him and yet Tatsuya had to tell him that Kagami was behind him (Phantom Shot to Alley-oop in Seirin-Yosen game) and according to the explanation, only the person blocking him should be unable to see the shot, yet every single person is confused as to where the ball went. It was the same bloody shit with the Vanishing Drive as well and then there's them trying to explain his misdirection not working as well when used against the same team a second time.... doesn't that mean that he should be completely visible to the Generation of Miracles. |
 |
| Overall nice episode. |

Hahahahahahaha. Come now, if you look to hard it's almost impossible not to find plotholes. Such as why Kise's foot suddenly is hurting him and it being mentioned so late despite being obvious. Fun :) |
| A great protagonist once said, "It's only overpowered if you can't return the favor!" |
| Some of Kagami's ownage had nice animation. Good episode, I always liked Kamatsu. yhunata said: You see, this is what I hate about techniques being explained in KnB. They make no fucking sense.

Lol yeah. The crap regarding Kuroko's abilities, are extremely illogical and impossible. I just accepted that, and stopped letting it annoy me, like it did in season 2. Seriously, it's a lot worse, than any other inconsistencies/asspulls I have seen in actual battle series. |
