The Earthlings have finally etched their names in the history of galactic basketball.

They beat their rivals, the Sonics, and became the champions of the Intergalactic Minor League.

Up next for them is the Intergalactic Major League Swap Match.

Will the Earth Team blast right through it too?

What do you think you're doing losing to Earthlings?

You suck!

Stop screwing around!

By the likes of Earthlings, we...

Shit...

Yeah!

I see!

My real growth is only beginning.

No wonder.

Otherwise, there's no way we'd lose to Earthlings.

What!?

What is this?

No matter how frustrated you might be, you didn't have to go and break it.

It wasn't me.

Isn't it great?

Like you said, from here on is the real battle.

By the way, how long have you been here?

Let's get going,

or else the bus'll be covered in egg.

If he didn't know himself, then it must have been quite a large shock.

He fought against Gorans as an Earthling all this time.

It's rough for the Earth Team too.

And the important Swap Match is coming up, too.

I see.

What's up?

Well, there was something that bothered me for a while.

It's a fact that Hideyoshi is a very talented player.

But that statement holds true only in the Intergalactic Minor League.

For some reason, he always shows up in every critical game.

A superstar of the Intergalactic Major League, nonetheless.

What are you implying?

You mean he knew it all along?

That Hideyoshi is a Goran?

I see.

Or, rather than knowing, he figured it out.

And he got interested in Hideyoshi.

That's not it.

There's some mystery about Gyuma knowing something else about Hideyoshi.

Something else about Hideyoshi?

What is it?

I don't know.

That's what I'm looking into now.

Old man!

Hey, old man!

An article saying Hideyoshi is a Goran is out.

I'm sorry, Coach.

Even after you went through the trouble of protecting Hideyoshi by exposing yourself...

It's fine.

Please don't worry about me.

I knew I had to say it one day.

Coach...

I'm sorry I hid it until now.

You don't have to apologize.

The standpoint may be different, but everyone's goal is the same.

No one would criticize you, Coach.

But, isn't it amazing?

Murdoch's daughter, eh?

You're higher class than me then!

Wait, DT!

DT!

You were with Gyuma yesterday, weren't you?

I saw you step out of Gyuma's car.

Why were you with him?

I thought I'd have him sell me to the Blues.

Stop joking!

Isn't it related to Hideyoshi?

If you're going to doubt me, ask Gyuma.

I doubt he'll lie to Murdoch's daughter.

I knew it; he is different from us.

What are you crying about?

But...

We've been together all this time.

The boss was a Goran...

Hey!

That doesn't matter at all!

The boss is still the boss, isn't he?

If he's an Earthling or Goran,

it doesn't matter.

The boss is the boss.

Or am I wrong?

It's not different.

There's nothing different!

That's right. Nothing's different.

Let's go!

Why are you crying?

Boss!

I know you're there.

Boss!

Please come out.

We're coming in, Boss.

What?

Let us go!

And who are you guys?

Earthlings really don't have any manners.

What do you have to say for yourselves, going into someone else's house as you please?

Someone's house?

Yup.

Our house.

Excuse... us.

Excuse... us.

Too late!

Thank you for flying with Goll Planet Spaceline.

We will soon enter the atmosphere of Goll.

Please make sure your seatbelt is fastened.

Did you see him?

No.

This is bad.

We're landing soon.

Damn it.

How did a homeless person make his way onto this ship?

Let's search inside the cargo.

Who are you calling homeless?

G-Get out, you idiot!

Don't let it go!

You got it on my face, you jerk!

Don't push! Don't push!

Stop it, you fool!

How can I stop it!

Scheduled for 20:45 Goran Standard Time.

Flight 007, departing for Earth via Roman...

My home, Planet Goll.

This is where my true...

My real family is.

Are they really here?

I wonder.

I'm not talking to you.

Plus, why are you here?

How touching.

The tearful reunion.

I hope it happens.

You...

I'm in the same boat as you.

You mean your parents are-

They're both still around.

In fact, we live together even.

Then you're not the same as me, fool.

No, no, listen to me.

A woman I broke up with is on Goll.

You're getting even more different from me...

I was surprised.

Never thought you were a Goran.

Shut up.

What's it to you?

So...

what'll you do from here on out?

What?

You know.

Earth Team or some other Goran team.

Who'll you play basketball with?

Well, I'm asking too soon, I guess.

I can understand how you don't see yourself as a Goran yet.

Besides, you probably don't even know what your father's like, right?

Wow! You fool! What do you think you're doing, fool!

Stop it!

Do you know something?

I do!

I mean, no I don't!

Or maybe I do!

You came to find out, right!?

I have connections here!

I'll be useful!

I-I'm serious!

Cha-che.

What?

Do you know where Hideyoshi went?

How would I know that?

Geez, this is totally frustrating.

Cha-che.

Moreover...

where did the coach go?

Next week is the Swap Match against the Killer-Lips for the spot in the Intergalactic Major League.

What you're worried about isn't the Swap Match, but Hideyoshi, right?

Quit joking around.

It's better for us to forget about him.

What do you mean by that!?

Even if we suppose that Hideyoshi really is Goran, there's no problem.

Hideyoshi still is our teammate even now.

Of course.

H-Hey, don't make me the only bad guy here.

I'm not thinking about kicking Hideyoshi out.

But if he won't come back, there's nothing we can do, no matter what we say.

He will come back!

There's... no way he'll quit basketball.

Because he's a real...

genuine...

basketball freak.

Shogun?

Yeah.

While he was reputed as a genius, he went missing without ever playing in the Intergalactic League.

This man grinning?

Not like I ever saw him personally.

Visual records of him weren't really left either.

There were only a few when he was a coach or a team manager.

But, there once was a time when he gathered attention.

As the man who taught basketball to Gyuma.

Taught basketball to Gyuma?

Man, look at those brazen eyes.

That's not the end of the story.

Hear me out and take a good look.

Haven't we seen this wrist band before?

Hey, that's Hideyoshi's...

It's the same!

Your parents' faces?

I don't know.

So that wrist band is the only thing your parents left you.

I'm so lucky. So lucky.

He'll make me some good money after all.

What? Hey! What are you doing?

Don't come close, you fool!

Not good!

I'm alive.

I'm not injured at all either.

It's a miracle.

Luck's definitely with me.

Yuck.

Is he dead?

No, I'm not!

Hey, if you couldn't drive it, you should've told me so from the start!

Shut up.

That was a rent-a-car, you know?

Damn it.

You're paying for both, okay?

Okay?

Hey, are you listening?

Hey!

Why were these things rolling around here?

Well, that'd be because this place used to be a military weapon storehouse.

Military?

Weapon?

You see?

They went and made lots of serious stuff, putting all the Goran's technology together to start a fight,

but they were never used and got abandoned.

Now, scrap collectors have torn it apart, so it looks nothing like what it used to.

Fight between who and who?

What? You seriously don't know?

Between Gorans and Earthlings, of course!

What?

As much as I hate to say it, it looks like using force is the only way we can both come to an agreement.

Hold it right there!

He was a Goran, but took neither side.

What is this?

Using force? What a disturbing thing to say.

Who's going to become happy from shedding blood?

You're the head of the council here?

And who are you?

My name doesn't matter.

Here,

I have a proposal for the largest scale of professional sport ever,

bringing explosive profits to both Earthlings and Gorans.

I call it the Intergalactic Major League Basketball Project.

It was a proposal that came out of nowhere, but the content was dense and well-planned.

It's amazing.

This just...

might work.

Of course.

It's a proposal I, who loves basketball more than anything, more than anyone, wrote.

Basketball is great,

and Japanese samurai movies are great.

Listen, big time counselors.

What's important isn't whether you or someone else is a Goran or an Earthling.

What's important as a man, as a human,

is if you're the real thing or not.

Awww yeah.

Oh well.

And, using his proposal as a base, the Intergalactic Major League Project moved forward.

Without a single drop of blood, a peace treaty was signed.

And this is where my scoop comes in.

That very man was Shogun.

So something like that happened.

Looks like we made it here while we chatted.

What's this?

A Care Center.

It's completely run down now,

but I bet the kids without anywhere to go...

that lived here looked up to that bright world dreaming to go there one day.

And how is this place related to me?

Just listen to me.

This is where Gyuma was raised.

Gyuma?

Gyuma was...

The mass media will sooner or later find out about Shogun too.

Then...

About Shogun?

I'm telling you that Shogun is your father.

Huh? Eh!?

Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?

And why do you know that?

It's a rumor, a rumor!

That's why I brought you here.

You never told me that before.

Then I'll tell you one more thing,

so release me.

Gyuma is?

Yeah.

It's Shogun that taught Gyuma how to play basketball.

Though I don't have a basis to prove it yet.

Man, my neck hurts.

But, if it's the truth, it's a huge scoop.

The mass media will definitely start focusing on the match between you and Gyuma.

The fact that you were Goran and not an Earthling was enough to make this a big story.

If your father is the person who taught Gyuma how to play basketball,

then the price of that scoop will go through the roof.

Hey, Hideyoshi.

Don't talk about Shogun at all to any other mass media.

I, your best friend, am the only one to get this scoop.

If Shogun is alive, and you were to meet him face to face tearfully,

or a memorable meeting with Gyuma happens, make sure I get a private interview with you.

What's wrong?

Are you listening to me?

Quit babbling for a minute, old man.

Shogun or whatever he is, there's no proof that he's my dad, right?

Not at the moment.

Then this isn't where I belong.

What are you talking about?

Oh, but Shogun's style of play was similar to yours I hear.

That's why Gyuma's-

Don't decide that for yourself, fool.

Don't get angry.

Even if I do meet him, I won't recognize him as my dad.

I don't have a father, after all.

Hey, Hideyoshi!

Don't follow me, fool.

So this wrist band is exactly the same one Hideyoshi is wearing right now?

Well, you see...

This wrist band was mass produced about thirty years ago, and it was popular amongst basketball players.

Then the link that ties Shogun and Hideyoshi...

doesn't exist.

Damn it, I shouldn't have come.

Wow, it's a huge ship.

There are even balls here!

Gyuma.

This is where I learned to play basketball.

I learned about the fascination and excellence of basketball.

The man often said,

"Be the real thing."

That if I learn the real technique, gain a real uniqueness, and become the true real thing,

then I can get all the money and fame I want.

I wanted to become the real thing all this time.

I wanted to become the real super basketball player.

The man you're searching for isn't here.

This is my sacred ground.

It's not a place for you to come.

This court is stained with his and my sweat.

That memory is something more precious to me than anything else.

No one can take it away from me.

Sorry, but you're thinking completely wrong.

Don't worry.

I'll never come here again.

See ya.

Really, that idiot.

What are you doing there?

Hideyoshi.

Don't come.

What did you come here for?

This is my sacred ground.

It's not a place for you to come.

What sacred ground?

Don't try to talk big.

Everyone's waiting for you.

The Swap Match is coming up, too.

Come on.

Let's go home together.

Don't worry.

You'll win for sure.

There's nothing called "Earthling" or "Goran" involved in playing basketball.

There's no way you guys will lose.

You guys are the real thing!

Good luck, Cha-che.

Hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi...
