kronos7 said: The animation is still bad compared to the 2nd season. The way they animated ankle break is weird. I mean, Kise was just standing in place and then Kagami stumbled. And for a moment it looked like Kagami and Kise are flying. True. Also, is it just me or did Teppei look..."Thin" in this episode? |

I'm expecting more armchair coaching when the final match comes around. :) Whoa, that list is pretty awesome! Neat to see my favorite team (Utah Jazz) on there quite a few times. T-Mac's and Reggie Miller's need to be A LOT higher though. Those individual comebacks were simply ridiculous! Haha, it's pretty crazy how leads like that can evaporate so quickly. Given, a 15 point lead in high school should technically be insanely difficult to overcome with their super long shot clock (if they even have one), but we already know KnB hardly does anything with that. xD Of course, this isn't even accounting for Super Kise and such. Kuroko pretty much sums it up well with when he said something along the lines of, "Until the game-ending buzzer is heard, you never know what will happen." |

Torrible said: Sourire said: 1) gotta love how they take timeouts without actually calling a timeout.. just having a chat for 5 minutes in the middle of the game. 2) you have a 15 points lead with 4 minutes to go, all you have to do is dribble and waste time by using the entire shot clock and not force shots + make them foul you.. I know KnB doesn't use a lot of basketball logic but c'mon man this is getting really dumb lol. 3) season3 is a big disappointment so far. 1) This is a common shounen sports quirk and an ongoing KnB thing. Complaining about it is pointless. Midorima froze time to talk to Kagami in season 1. I'm also pretty sure Sakuragi was frequently talking shit to other players on the court in Slam Dunk. 2) Is that preemptive hindsight?

I'm expecting more armchair coaching when the final match comes around. :) 3) Even looking at this season through the lens of a easily dissatisfied person, I could only find 3 bad episodes this season and there are 16 more to go. The Shutoku vs Rakuzan had astounding animation and hype. This match could have been great if it had half the animation budget of the above match. This episode (at least the latter half) was epic in the manga (only fully colored manga chapter in the series). Basically Kise got the short shrift in the animation department this season. The animation was great when he was getting owned by Haizaki lol. You tell em son. Or dad. Or wateva. U tell em! And I can't believe T-Mac only made no 10 on that list.. biased B/R writers lol... |

I think in real life, the players who disregard notions such as probability or skill gap are more likely to put up performances such as these. The importance of momentum (as an earlier episode also stated) cannot be overstated. When the trailing team goes on a run, the team that is leading suffers from both the dual effects of being chased/pressured and the fears of letting a huge lead slip away.

MJ just too OP. :[ I was expecting the Clippers' comeback against the Grizzlies from ~27 down in the 4th quarter to be on that list somewhere. I don't even like the Clips, but that was ballistic! I vividly remember the miracle in Miami comeback the Jazz did out of any of those on the list due to me actually following that one live. I do agree that the team comebacks tend to get overlooked and deserve more credit (B/R did a great job including those and giving rightfully due credit). And certainly, momentum is the craziest thing in games. KnB does a fantastic job at emphasizing the impact of that on the game. Hopefully the anime will do a good job next week displaying the extreme pressure Seirin feels. |

| what an intense episode oooooooo |
Torrible said: And of course people remember #10 and #8 more than the rest. And of course some people weren't old enough to know what basketball is when some of those matches happened lol.

You can definitely never count them out, but West is truly as stacked as it could be. |
|
| Excellent episode as always although it's a little bit slow in the middle of episode. Kise determination is really great, i like it, an as some people point out, the animation this episode is a little bit weird, taiga suddenly falling down the moment kise use his emperor eye, but it's still a great episode. 5/5 |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| My kokoro hurts when Kise said "I really love this team." |
| so this thread kind of turned into a basketball discussion? sweet. |
| Best episode so far inmo. It was SO good. Intense as hell and you could cut the tension with a knife. I knew that Kise would even copy Kuroko's moves. Let's see how the match goes on next. :D |
 |
| Kise's perfect copy is no joke, the way he is mashing all the generation of miracles skills together fluidly is legendary. Especially using Kuroko's pass! I would tell him to copy Kagami's jump ability. Now if only Kise and Kagami went into the ZONE! |
Fish use the water surrounding their bodies to sense what will happen next... you can't fight the current you have to flow with it. If you do that, you might just catch the fish. |

I would tell him to copy Kagami's jump ability. Now if only Kise and Kagami went into the ZONE! Yeah, though I doubt we will get to see Kise in the zone. But the way he is progressing, he could be even stronger than the other GoM. And to think that he only started playing about three years ago. My prediction for the next episode:- We will have Kagami Zone vs Kise PC in the next ep, and both the teams would be tied by the last 10 secs of the match. And then Kuroko will shoot the last basket, resulting in Seirin's victory. |
| NEXT EPISODEEE CAN't WAIT I JUST HOPE KAGAMI GOES ZONE MODE |
| The KiyoHyuu vibes were strong in this one!! Kise's Perfect Copy power up was insane to watch, especially the Ignite Pass Kai copy. Loved the animation.... However I never knew Kagami and Kise could fly until this episode. lol! |
| Watched it again. Once I let go of the little things that affected my enjoyment the first time (long recap, incorrect subs, and how PC was animated), the episode is actually pretty good. The animation in the first half is pretty decent. The directing and ost are mostly on point. Transition between the match and flashbacks were smooth. The camera panning out to give a never before seen wide shot of the arena and its visible seating sections was awesome. Also, Kise's VA really sold his intensity and love for his team. |

| Let's be real here, the victor will be SEIWIN. >_> |
 |
parfaited said: I love Kise and he's come an insanely long way especially in comparison to the other GoM, but goddammit this will never be Kise's Basketball. But let's all imagine what Kise's Basketball would be like. A bishonen mc who is good at basketball and is also a model and is popular between girls who later gets incredible character development. |
| Now if only Kise copies Kuroko's Vanishing Drive. |
 |
| I'm sure Kise can copy anything at this rate as long as he sees the full mechanics of it. That being said, natural innate talents seem to be uncopyable. This statement can be disproven if he is able to copy all of Kuroko's techniques because some involve his natural ability to use misdirection. I believe Kise is not OP because of this restriction and his body restrictions. Wait...what about when he gets in the zone? |
| Kise copy Kuroko 0___________0 |
| lol that 'teppei and hyuuga fight' tho. hahahah houtaeru said: Akashi though, glad he's here |

You can definitely never count them out, but West is truly as stacked as it could be. And yeah, first LeBron misses free throws against Houston, and then Kawhi misses free throws against the Cavs... though Kawhi has had a record of missing clutch free throws. Even tho he looks like a Kuudere, I reckon the pressure gets to him when he's on the line. He can go 1 on 1 against the best player in the world, but stepping to that line is another thing entirely :/ As for the Spurs this year... I have absolutely no idea. The West is insanely stacked, and every team has had its fluctuations. I'm just glad that the Spurs picked themselves up after that subpar start to the season due to the plethora of injures they had, and I really believe that going through adversity has made them stronger (although adversity due to injuries is a different kind compared to the usual forms). I mean, look at what happened after they lost in 2013- they came back with the best record in the League and facerolled their way to the Championship! So, I'm hopeful, but not too hyped. 5 Rings, especially the most recent one, is enough for me (and I've only witnessed them getting one of them lol). I'm really interested to see if New Orleans makes the playoffs. The Suns are out for sure now, and OKC lives and dies by Westbrook's bricks... man the NBA is so dramatic lol. I love it! Edit: AD's gonna be an MVP soon. Really unfortunate he got injured this year- injuries have severely damaged my enjoyment of this season :( Edit2: machine-like- Yeah... like the cogs in a motor... like the spurs on the cogs in a motor, which is a machine... yeah goodbye... |

| Kise can't copy Kuroko's misdirection Ignite Pass though is another thing, it's basically just a powerful pass, so after seeing it Kise is totally able to copy it. He just can't mix it with misdirection like Kuroko do |

Nah man, Jazz making playoffs! The team only needs to win out and needs the others to lose a ton. It's not like that's practically impossible at this rate. XD Haha, in all seriousness though, it would be neat to see Pellies make it over OKC. They at least have the tie-break over OKC. AD is one crazy mofo; he posted an insane 2k line yesterday with a near quadruple-double! O.O Crazy how his team still lost despite that. The main issue AD seems to run into every season is one injury that takes him out for a couple weeks - a month. I'm hoping he gets past that like Curry was able to get past his ankle issues. Westbrook has been absolutely insane this past month. You're basically right about how the current Thunder live/die by Westbrook's bricks [and TOs]. xD His current usage rate is just absurdly high. But yeah, I love how dramatic the race to the final playoff spot is. The teams seeded currently 2-7 in the West could be in a completely different order by the end of the season.

| Anyone know the song that plays after the game resumes with Kuroko and Kise back on the court and goes all the way to Kise's Ignite Pass? Is it from S1/S2 or is it new? |
RagingMan said: Anyone know the song that plays after the game resumes with Kuroko and Kise back on the court and goes all the way to Kise's Ignite Pass? Is it from S1/S2 or is it new? I'm pretty sure it's a new OST from this season. I can't wait for this season's soundtrack to come out~ |
|
| The moments when it's real-ish, those are the best moments in this anime. The magical bullshit is just boring and stupid, like Kuroko's special shot. Just stick to the passing :P |
 |
| Why do I suspect that four minutes will take significantly longer than four minutes? |
| i wish kise was in this match the entire time. this injury is bullshit. why is kakami not injured that guy goes zone and hes gone against 2 op players but nothing. oh well looks like kise is about to go all out so im sure this ll be the best part of the match. |
| you sound poor |
| From YouTube: The time limit was supposed to be 5 minutes, not 7. It makes no sense that the GoM can just keep powering up because they get '' more serious''. My response: The limit is 5 mins because PC drains stamina. The 5 mins limit is predicated on the assumption that Kise plays nearly the whole match. If Kise misses nearly 3 quarters of the match, don't you think he'd have more stamina reserved for PC? |

Since you guys have such low expectations, you should enjoy the next episode. @XPwnDEnd I hope the Jazz make it next year though. Their team has really come together over the past couple years. It really seems like all they needed was a defensive minded center lol. And yeah, Westbrook has been playing out of his mind this past month, but he doesn't always make the right decisions. Golden State and Atlanta were the biggest surprises of the Season for me. And I can't wait to see the revamped Miami Heat next year- that starting five is ridiculous, considering the situation they were in after LeBron left. Lots more I wanna talk about but don't have time to rant for hours lol. |

| perfect copy at its finest |
kitten320 said: Thinder said: I thought that only someone of the generation of miracles and kagami (and uncrowned kings) could catch kuroko's Ignite Pass Kai ... How come when Kise copy's it, that his senpai Kobori could catch it so easely ? Any thought's about this ? Was it? The last 2 seasons are so full of bullshit that I doubt author even himself knows the answer. Kise's powers are really hard to swallow at this point of time. Murasakibara's block? Really? What makes Murasakibara special and good at blocking is his massive body. He is much taller and wider than majority and has massive hands. There is no way a tiny Kise could suddenly jump as high and block just as much of the area. There is a limit to what one can copy and Kise crossed most of the lines. The further this series go, the more they turn into some sort of fairy tale. I feel seriously cheated after 1st season. First, the ignite pass kai bit. Usually copies are not on par with the original. Also, the ignite pass kai loses its spin and velocity after it has traveled over a long distance (loses energy due to air resistance). Furthermore, Kobori caught the ball with his back facing the hoop with both hands. It's a great posture to receive a powerful pass. Contrast that with Kagami who caught the ball nearer to its source, with one hand, facing the hoop and while in the air. Next, it was probably not Kobori's first try at catching the pass. Kasamatsu was the one who revealed the time limit of PC, implying that Kaijo would have previously known about PC in training. Not much of a stretch to reason that Kise might have used ignite pass kai during previous trainings so that his teammates could get familiar with that pass. And lastly Kobori is a big powerful center like Kiyoshi after all, who showed throughout the match that he has the strength to hold off Kiyoshi while jostling for rebounds. Second, about the Murasakibara block. Kise was shown to jump as far as Kagami (from the FT line) during the warmup session, demonstrating that Kise's jump power is very close to Kagami's. When Murasakibara makes his blocks, because of his height and his wingspan, he usually does not have to jump much. That point was reinforced more than once during the Yosen match. Kise with Kagami's height (just a cm shorter) and Kagami's jump power would be certainly be able to reach as high as a barely jumping Murasakibara. But he normally doesn't need to. Kise in his normal state would be able to block Kagami and Haizaki anyway. He was able to block Kagami and Aomine in season 1. However, he jumped higher and blocked harder than he normally needed to in order to be intimidating and towering like Murasakibara. In a way you can say he is copying Murasakibara's intimidation. Also, it was never stated in the manga that Kise could cover the 3 point area like Murasakibara. |
TorribleMar 24, 2015 8:53 PM
| Oh yeah, Kise is on Uber Saiyan mode |
| Teppei x Hyuuga <3 I expected him to copy Kuroko's moves too, and it was really cool :D |
