Synopsis

The college basketball team Strky, comprised of familiar faces from past Interhigh tournaments, is ready to face off against the Jabberwock, a popular American street basketball team that has just arrived in Japan. But what they believe will be a friendly match against a foreign team turns into a devastating loss, and afterwards, the Jabberwock's captain Nash Gold Jr. comments that the people of Japan are equivalent to monkeys and should stop pretending to play basketball.

Angered by this insult, Kagetora Aida proposes a rematch with a different Japanese team, to which Nash accepts, believing the outcome will be the exact same. For the revenge match, Kagetora assembles the Vorpal Swords, consisting of the Generation of Miracles alongside Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami—the only team that stands a chance in teaching the Jabberwock a lesson.

Mixed Feelings
The hyped up, fanservice extra to Kuroko's Basketball, Kagami and the Generation of Miracles take on the evil Americans in a game of streetball in this short sequel to the original.

This is fun for really one reason. You get to see a whole ton of overpowered players go at it at full force. You feel a bit of rehash, as this is the 3rd opponent of the series that's an evil asshole. It doesn't hold the weight of the original series because there isn't really a goal other than to beat the opponent. There's no reward or recognition, and the players are all already ...
