Grimmjow finally has his revenge on Ichigo. :) It's weird that Kise's perfect copy was the worst animated and most rushed part of the match. I sure it's because Kise will be shining later and this match was meant to be Haizaki-centric (because of his seiyuu), but it's still disappointing that one of the best chapters in the entire manga wasn't as well-animated/directed as I hoped it would be. The additional flashbacks involving Haizaki throughout the 2 episodes made him seem less of a throwaway character. And the scene of him choosing not to give up on basketball (by not throwing away his shoes this time) was a more fitting end to his arc (although some might say less deserving) than lying unconscious on the ground.

I can't wait to finally see Akashi's first match animated.

Also, I was wondering how they would pull the perfect copy off, not too shabby.

Am I the only one saying poor Haizaki ?
I know he's a douche.
But the real douche here is Akashi.
I know deep down Haizaki loves basketball.
Hopefully he learn his lesson this time.
He just needs to calm his balls.

Aomine just did the entire world a great favour. Kept replaying that scene.

Somehow I felt like the last quarter of the match was very anticlimactic. Kise doing his "Perfect Copy" was awesome for that moment and then... BOOM. End of match.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

This match seemed shorter than KnB's usual matches.
Nonetheless, I loved every second.

Way to go Kise-kun!~~ <33 I love you!
Kuroko was adorble, snapping some sense into him.
And Aomine is just plain awesome. That punch was life.

Next week please come by fast!

So going by the conversation flash back with Kuroko and Haizaki, Haizaki warned Kuroko that there are evil people in the world then showed Akashi. I find that really interesting add that to the bit we learned when Aomine taught Kuroko how to shoot when he talked about how Akashi taught Kuroko so he should of been able to fix Kuroko's shooting its really looking like Akashi won't just be the final 'boss' but more of an actual villain. Although thats all just my opinion based on everything thats happened so far can't wait for these next 3 matches!

Nice.

Can't wait to see Rakuzan in action.

Good job Kise. That was op.

Can I be the first to point out the massive loophole in this arc?

If Kise can perfectly copy any move he sees instantly (with the exception of the GOM), then why didn't he just copy Haizaki? When Haizaki 'stole' his moves Kise could've just copied the Haizaki version of the move and he would've been able to play fine.

Honestly, it would be great if someone could explain this to me but it just looks like this giant loophole that's being overlooked

Oh that was awesome!! Perfect copy animated finally!! I always thought Kise was the weakest of the 5 since he didnt really have something of his own that was similar to theirs but when I saw this move of his I completely changed my mind about him. I'm really glad that they didnt drag this match and of course Aomine punching Haizaki was the highlight for me!!

Felt like the animation didn't do the perfect copy justice. It is the most OP ability in the manga. I was expecting bright, flashy colours, lightning bolts being fired throughout the court, and epic trails left behind as the ball whizzes through the air at lightspeed... but maybe I had too high expectations :(

Exactly. Haizaki's "ability" should be nullified if it's used against someone with similar "abilities".

I'm disappointed because I thought Kise will go in the zone. But copying the moves of generation of the miracles is just awesome.
Haizaki isn't close enough to them.

Seems like the next game will be more intense and breathtaking.
Finally, we'll see Akashi play.

No doubt Akashi is a dick. If you saw the Kuroko special when Aomine first meets Kuroko, you'll see Akashi telling Kuroko to pass all the balls to Aomine, that's when he realizes he's too good and no one can challenge him and he stopped playing with a smile.

Kise probably could do that, but what's the point? He can use PC only 5 minutes so it's more effective to use Generation of Miracles moves before time runs out.

Awesome episode.

Kuroko's voice gave him super strength!

However I am a bit worried now, Kise was injured and is worn out from training, surely there is no way he can be at 100% in the semi finals? But they have to win by beating him at his best. I hope they get him fixed up in some magical way before the game..

Good point. But technically, Haizaki was part of the original GoM, i.e. his ability is that of a GoMs' and would require Kise to use 'Perfect Copy' to replicate it. Either that or maybe not even Kise can figure out how to use the move once Haizaki's tweaked it to suit himself.
