yhunata said: In the very first practice game against Kaijo, when Kuroko comes back in from being injured he regained his effectiveness because of how long he sat out. In the case of Mayuzumi, Kuroko is allowing Mayuzumi to draw attention to himself, which means less focus is directed at Kuroko. Guess what that is.....misdirection 101. Mayuzumi making his plays while iso'd with Kuroko actually makes Kuroko appear that much weaker. They're simply using the crowed as a means of personifying this change. I seem to remember something from the first season..... "He can't keep his misdirection for the full game". From the second season "This is the second game against Shutoku, they're more used to him now (i.e. he's more visible than before)". Again, from the second season "Misdirection Overflow.... once he uses it, he can never get lost again." I don't know about you, but doesn't that heavily imply that once he, for the lack of a better word, loses his misdirection/presence, he can't regain it. So.... why does he suddenly regain it now? Before you say it, he did lose it. That, my friend, is what I'm talking about or perhaps, you could have paid attention and used context clues. I swear it feels like every week it's something new with you, and if you applied even the slightest bit of critical thinking you'd be able to answer your own complaints. |

Every episode is giving me chills, and the good direction/music helps in that. Good job I.G. Need next episode asap. |

Misdirection Overflow is a technique that has him completely abandon his lack of presence and it was outright said that once that happened, he can't use it against them ever again (which by itself is stupid, since it should still be usable against any new members). So my point here is, by this point he had already lost his lack of presence completely. As for your later retort, you couldn't be any more wrong. Of the 11 (including this) threads I've posted in on KnB3, I've complained about the events of the episode in 5 and one of them was about shit pacing. |

Torrible said: [/spoiler][spoiler]1. The situation seemed impossible for Seirin the end of last episode, and of course even more so when Hyuga was benched. But ultimately, all it took was for Kuroko to overwrite Mayuzumi and Kagami to be back in the zone to swing the match back to balance. Remember Rakuzan went into a huge lead when Kuroko lost his lack of presence and Mayuzumi was allowed to use misdirection. 2. Kuroko not only did something tactically important on the court, he also inspired the team to fight back, albeit with tears. Kagami admitted that he would have given up if not for Kuroko. Wish people would stop undermining Kuroko's contribution in this match. 3. While Kagami was stepping back while crouching (crouching Taiga), Akashi was frozen in time. :) 4. There's symbolism in the end card. See if you can spot it. 5. I wonder if the bits about Kagami's deeper zone and Akashi using Mayuzumi to distract Kagami were confusing for non-manga readers. I felt those parts went by too fast and needed a little more exposition. Anyway, I'll explain even if it's probably not needed. Kagami went into animal instinct mode and the zone at the same time. His animal instincts allowed him to reach a deeper part of the zone. Let's just call it deeper zone. In deeper zone, Kagami's area of defense became nearly as wide as Murasakibara's (who could defend the entire 2 point area), so he could mark Akashi from a distance. As long as Akashi is within that area of defense (denoted by the flaming circle), Kagami can block his shots and whoever else is within his range. So Akashi used Mayuzumi's increased presence (similar to Kuroko in overflow mode) to distract Kagami for a split second so that Mibuchi could shoot without getting blocked. 6. Perfect insight is a very common narrative shortcut in KnB, but damn, it does seem like Kuroko and Midorima made completely baseless (but obviously accurate for narrative's sake) assumptions about Mayuzumi. Just because you have never seen him draw people's lines of sight to himself doesn't mean he can't do it. 7. 3 incidents in this episode provoked cries of outrage among a small handful of very vocal Rakuzan fanboys when the relevant manga chapters were first released. When I browsed through the 200 or so comments on MAL, Kissanime and Reddit, I was pleasantly surprised to find no such outrage (or even recognition that they may cause outrage) with regards to those 3 incidents. Shows how small of a minority these nitpickers are, or how easily outrage can spread from a few to slightly more than a few. 8. Both Hyuga and Mayuzumi did something inexcusably stupid in this episode, but their teammates' reactions to their mistakes are completely contrasting. Herein lies the difference between the 2 teams. One team blames, the other supports. 9. [Foreshadowing] Hayama missed that shot because Mayuzumi's pass was too low. If only Mayuzumi's pass was perfectly placed and didn't disrupt Hayama's rhythm, Hayama would have made that shot. [/Foreshadowing] 10. It kinda bothered me that the scoreboard didn't change when Mibuchi made the 3 at the end. Rakuzan should be at 74 points. 11. Mayuzumi reacting instinctively (or rather, his instincts took over his conscious thoughts when it came to that decision) is normal in sports. In a fast-paced and competitive sport where split-second decisions are constantly needed, a player relies on muscle memory, gut instincts and the subconscious more than his conscious rational thoughts. This article is a good read: http://www.nomapnoguidenolimits.com/2009/03/07/decision-making-on-the-court/ Excerpts: ... basketball has a more fluid pace of action than start-and-stop games like football or baseball. So it’s easier for a basketball player to immerse themselves in the flow of the game and let go of “conscious” thought or distraction. But is that “unconscious” response the same thing as pure “gut instinct”? ...so for an experienced hand, a “gut feeling” is actually drawing on a vast store of embedded training, knowledge and analysis... In any event, it’s rather amazing to consider that the human brain might work so fast that, for someone who’s accumulated enough data (knowledge, practice, and experience) ....(might have) an integrated “unconscious” response in something less than .002 seconds. So fast that we’d swear we didn’t even check with our brains before we responded. Dude... your posts are beautiful. Only problem I have is that the episodes aren't 30 minutes long. They feel far too rushed :/ but what can you do, I guess. The cliche shounen lines are kinda getting to me. Lol, I just prefer the manga. Exposition is done better there. Animation was piss-poor this episode, too :/ C'mon I.G. ... how many millions do you make exactly? Oh well... next episode will be my favourite :D |

Naisu one, Kuroko! It was pretty sad, how other players suddenly started mocking Mayuzumi because of his mistakes. Just wait, Seirin will show you the beauty of friendship and teamplay :3 As I'm not that familiar with the "real" basket, what does the 'technical foul' mean to Hyuga? Will he be able to play later during this game? |

That was a time-out or in between quarters (I think) and for the record, I do know how the game went. Kitsu-nee said: As I'm not that familiar with the "real" basket, what does the 'technical foul' mean to Hyuga? Will he be able to play later during this game? A player can play until he has accumulated upto 5 fouls and since Basketball isn't a contact sport and it's played in such a small area (compared to other sports) it's rather easy to foul. Hyuuga has 4 fouls, so he was removed. A technical foul is a foul that doesn't happen due to contact but other means (not too sure about this), in this case; unnecessary/over-complaining. |

That is that "overflow" was never said that it will make him unable to be a shadow again. They said that it will make it almost impossible for him to be a shadow again only against the same team(of course that stands if the same team has almost the same players), not in general. |

Considering the show never said anything about him never regaining it if he completely lost his lack of presence i really to not get your argument. Also this time he still didn't regain his shadow thing completely, he just used the other player. Basically he made the other player do shit while he seemed unable to affect him and therefore making himself seem irrelevant and disappearing. Instead of regaining it, is more like his using overflow on the other guy to hide himself. Of course in real basketball such things are bullshit but Kuroko's abilities were the biggest bullshit of this show from the start anyway. |

Monad said: The overflow rules really had nothing to do with this episode, so I ignored it. In the first practice match Moriyama specifically mentions that it started becoming easier to see his passes. Then when he comes back in after sitting, his effectiveness is regained. He can't be using overflow because that would force more attention onto himself, which can't possibly be the case in this game. To put it into KnB terms he's just letting Mayuzumi's shine brighter than him. Brighter light = darker shadow sort of thing.yhunata said: Monad said: Emm...

Of course in real basketball such things are bullshit but Kuroko's abilities were the biggest bullshit of this show from the start anyway. Kuroko is the guy that shows up to a court by himself and nobody knows him. Because nobody knows him, when the game starts nobody pays any attention to him until he bangs a few uncovered threes or does some crazy ass play. Only kuroko is exaggerated, like just about everything else. To the nitpick of "overflow shouldn't work against the same players instead of the same team", it's high school basketball...kids probably aren't changing schools often enough for that to be a point of emphasis. |

Of course in real basketball such things are bullshit but Kuroko's abilities were the biggest bullshit of this show from the start anyway. I was speaking of implications. Once he uses his MO, he can never disappear infront of them ever again. Does that not imply that losing the lack of presence is permanent? He does disappear though and that's my problem. ibear said: To the nitpick of "overflow shouldn't work against the same players instead of the same team", it's high school basketball...kids probably aren't changing schools often enough for that to be a point of emphasis. I was talking about the new players Touou will get and not about transfer students. If I were to nitpick, there are way too many not just in KnB, but in just about every single anime I've ever watched (and this applies even to my absolute favorites). Just to give an example, the exaggerations go overboard in KnB, inconsistent artstyle in Shinsekai Yori, etc.. |

Can I be honest here? Yes? Thanks. Akashi is the least interesting member of GoM. It could be because he got the least backstory or his "power" is the least flashy, but he just doesn't make me go "WOW", like other members do. Kise was good, when he did perfect copy he was insane. Aomine is, well, do I need to explain Aomine? Midorima makes incredible shots and is an interesting character overall. Murasakibara wasn't all that memorable,but than again, that wasn't the best game in the series, to say the least. Akashi, however, while insane in game vs Midorima, faded in this game. He is barely on screen. Oh well, a minor complain. |

A copy can never be as good as the original. Akashi comes in third for me with Midorima and Aomine coming top (If we were to include Kuroko, he comes below Akashi). Also, if you're wanting more screentime from him, you're gonna get it soon. Very soon. |

Is it really all about Mayuzumi gaining more presence in the court or am I missing something? From what I can understand the crowed starts paying attention to Mayuzumi instead of paying attention to Kuroko. This is the problem I have. The crowd starts paying more attention to Mayuzumi..... so the players also start paying him more attention? Why? Because he's a guy who's scoring points? Usually, if you're on the opposing team, you want to be aware of who can score and be trying to stop them? i.e. paying attention to them? You know, because, usually, the team with more points at the end wins? Well, I don't know what world you live in, but in mine, people will say just about anything so they can complain. Lol. |

I chose a bad time to pick this anime back up again. I was supposed to wait until it was finished! *chastises self* Anyway, Akashi is relentlessly cruel here. Honestly why doesn't he just take up a sport that doesn't require a team? He'd be good at it. But poor Mayuzumi. It's got to hurt finding out that you're nothing but a pawn, a stepping stone. Honestly Rakuzan needs to lose. I just really want Akashi to have his words crammed down his throat - although with his split personalities I don't see him taking a loss easily, especially since it would be his first in, like, probably ever. Imagine if there was an OVA where Akashi grows a third personality? See, Akashi is what happens when you coddle someone too much just because they're talented. Not even Aomine with his "Nobody can beat me but me" wasn't this bad. No one else has reached this level. Honestly staring at Akashi just freaks me the fuck out. Come on Seirin! You need to W.I.N! |

I noticed that they remove Alexandra part from the manga in the anime. Right after Aomine said he's going deeper in the zone Alex's part should have came after that but it didn't. but all in all I like that episode |

Hyuga and Kagami get shut down, but Kuroko continues to fight. Kagami enters the Zone while Kuroko shut downs Mayuzumi. Thanks to the power of shadow and light, Seirin has a chance to win. But Akashi decides to use Mayuzumi as a tool. |

Yess badass Kuroko is back! xD This game is my favourite, and I honestly can't tell for sure if Seirin is gonna win or nah. But this Kuroko 2.0 is really annoying. He thought Akashi would give him a second chance, and turns out that he is just using him. Ooh buuuuurn~ xDD |

This was pretty good. I still don't like Akashi at all. His power barely follows the rules even for a supepower, not to mention tht it's OP as hell. Also, he is rude to his senpais, rude to just about every body. He thinks he's the smartest person in the world and others are stupid (he might not say it but his attitude sure screams it) I don't like that. |

TragicRomance said: This was pretty good. I still don't like Akashi at all. His power barely follows the rules even for a supepower, not to mention tht it's OP as hell. Also, he is rude to his senpais, rude to just about every body. He thinks he's the smartest person in the world and others are stupid (he might not say it but his attitude sure screams it) I don't like that. While I hate this whole power thing, what Akashi is technically doing is simply observing his opponents. He has good observation skills and pattern knowledge. It's not looking into the future, it's pure wits and observation. The only power that makes no sense is Kise's cause no matter how much you copy the technique, size matters too. Kise will never be as effective as Murasakibara cause he is twice smaller. Kuroko is a useless player too. Missdirection is all he is good at. Take it away and he is no one. I'll take his advanced version over him any day cause guy actually has skills and in real game it would be him winning, not Kuroko. Akashi is the smartest guy in the show, so far he never lost at anything at all. Of course he will look down on you and think you are dumb. He most likely scored 100% in every test he ever took. Can any of them claim the same? No. Do you respect insects much? Because that's what you are to him after remaining unbitten in everything that exists for his whole life. |

Thats not how fouls work in basketball. The technical should not have been the 4th foul. |

^^ Yeah, that got me confused. and apparently, defensive 3 seconds doesn't apply in Japanese basketball. Kagami is a one-man zone defense. Lmao, whatever |

DefMos said: ^^ Yeah, that got me confused. and apparently, defensive 3 seconds doesn't apply in Japanese basketball. Kagami is a one-man zone defense. Lmao, whatever When you watch sports anime, you have to understand that there's subtle differences in rules with the sports in Japan. I'm pretty sure the technical foul would be the 4th foul in Japan, or in Japanese high school basketball at least. And with the 3 second rule, remember that these guys talk to each other while transitioning from offense to defense, during shots, while jumping for dunks and rebounds, and more. Time isn't really relative to real time during these moments when characters are talking to each other or to themselves inside their heads. |

Kagami was good trying to go against Akashi and entered the Zone again! Kuroko was really good and the other one screwed himself for making himself more visible. |

YAY! I knew Kuroko would direct his shine onto Mayu >:D Now Mayu is just being used by Akashi v__v Love the end card how more light is shining on Mayu than it is Kuroko ;O I see what y'all did there huehuehue It really hurt seeing how desperate Hyuga was about his 4th foul :( Hopefully he'll make is comeback soon. Meanwhile... Excited to see more of Koga next ep! :D |

I'm at least glad they boys are growing. Went from no hope to wait, Kagami still has the Zone. |

the break moment were really dark, poor hyoga. the solution for kuroko was actually kinda simple that i surprised they didn't thought about it themself. the last scene though remind us that though seirin still have some control in the game, they haven't beaten akashi. |

I mean I understood Overwriting completely, but that's precisely why I'm so wt'fucked rn xD Anyway good comeback for the original legend, sucks for Mayuzumi. Akashi is ruthless, everything for victory. Tho even he was intimidated for a sec by a Kagami who sunk even deeper into the Zone. |

These people narrating Seirin out and then they making a comeback never gets old xD Seirin were down and out, but damn Kuroko lifted the morale sky high. Akashi feeling hopeless before Kagami's zone was a moment lol, though it didn't last long. Gotta feel for Mayuzumi, dude's nothing but a tool for Akashi now. |

HYUGA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Rakuzan are using some very sneaky tactics. Also if I haven't commented on it from now the OP and ED are good THESE GUYS MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN! SEIRIN LETS GO |

Not entirely sure how Overwriting works exactly... But whatever Kuroko did to put this angry and selfish Cheap-Knockoff-Phantom - in his place - while having an epic comeback himself of Misdirection as the Original Trickster - was absolutely awesome and a thrill to watch! You show them Kuroko! |

@lakshika one of my favorite moments. For sure. Seeing Kuroko's sheer titular Resolve , willpower and determination. He's not fighting because he thinks he can win but because he wants to. Sorry Akashi but his conviction is far from meaningless - it was the needed momentum shift SEIRIN desperately needed. But what made this scene exceptionally awesome and stand out - was especially the reaction from the watching teams and Generation of Miracles !! |
