Original subtitles

The Teiko Middle School basketball club.

An incredibly strong team with over 100 members

and three consecutive championship wins.

Within their brilliant record,

the generation of five prodigies was known

as the "Generation of Miracles."

However, there was a strange rumor concerning the Generation of Miracles.

Despite being relatively unknown and lacking a game record,

there was one more member recognized by the five prodigies.

A phantom sixth man.

I can't just rely on Kuroko and the upperclassmen.

I'm the only one who stands a chance against Shutoku.

We don't need team play now.

We need me to score.

You can't play basketball by yourself.

You said you wanted to beat the Generation of Miracles,

but you're thinking just like them.

There may be one thing we can do.

SEIRIN - SHUTOKU

I can only pass the ball...

but I can take it up another level.

Your new pass?

Why haven't you said anything before?

Only a few people can catch it.

But in his current condition, Kagami may be one of them.

However, just passing to Kagami won't work until the end.

We'll have to break free from Takao and use normal passes as well.

But maybe we can do it.

Besides, my eyes are cramping up.

What does that mean?

Go for some shots in the last quarter.

-All right. -Captain.

Sorry about that.

Huh? Oh, don't worry about it.

That's what I'd like to say.

But the way you said that...

I'll hit you later.

Hey, we're starting, Hyuga.

Well, it'll have to wait.

Laugh or cry, we've only got 10 more minutes.

Let's go!

Let the fourth quarter begin.

EPISODE 13 I BELIEVED IN YOU

Kuroko is playing.

What do they think they're doing?

As long as Takao is on the court, the invisible kid's no trump card.

Or do they have a plan?

Even if he plays, it'll be just like the first half.

No, I can see him even better!

Yes!

He's not charging in by himself like before.

Getting punched by Kuroko must have cooled his head.

However, you have only a little stamina left.

They're quick to restart!

Kagami!

You cannot stop my shots anymore.

I'm almost running on empty...

but...

Kagami, how many more times can you jump?

Jump?

You mean those super jumps that stopped Midorima?

They push your natural jumping power to the limit, so they're exhausting.

On top of that, your body isn't strong enough yet.

There's a limit on how many times you can do that in a game.

I can still jump! Any number of times.

You don't need to act tough right now!

Two's your limit.

Two?

How are we supposed to stop Midorima with two?

Keep one for the deciding moment of the game

and use the other...

to stop the first shot of the fourth quarter!

What?

He can still jump?

But I know he's nearly out of energy.

Doesn't he intend to save anything for the end?

Go in!

SEIRIN - SHUTOKU

There it is!

A ten-point difference!

Coach! Are you sure we should've used our first of two so early?

-It's a bluff. -What?

Starting now, we can barely cover him normally,

so we can't stop Midorima if he shoots.

However, Midorima won't take an impossible shot...

as long as we make him think

Kagami might still have those unbelievable jumps left in him.

At the very least, I think we can reduce the number of shots he takes.

So the rest is up to you,

Kuroko.

Looks like they're really counting on you.

But no matter what you try, I'll stop you.

You can't escape my hawk eye.

Without any blind spots,

your misdirection won't work against Takao.

What are you going to do, Kuroko?

Actually, it's probably not completely ineffective against him.

What?

The field of vision of Takao's hawk eye is so wide he can see the entire court.

That's why he can continue to watch Kuroko

even if his attention is directed elsewhere.

So...

What?

So instead of directing attention away from himself,

Kuroko used the opposite misdirection instead.

In other words, he drew attention towards himself.

He's close.

The reason he kept passing even after his passes were blocked

was to make Takao focus on him.

First focus his vision,

and then it can be directed somewhere else!

I lost sight of him? You're kidding!

Calm down.

Even if I can't find Kuroko, I still know Kagami's location.

As long as I jump between the ball and Kagami...

You will not get it this time.

Until now, I have only changed the direction of the pass.

This pass increases the ball's speed!

He punched the ball!

And catching that couldn't have been easy.

I can't believe this!

You can only jump two more times.

Keep one for the deciding moment of the game.

I know, but if we don't make something happen here...

No, you don't!

...when are we going to do it?

That was amazing! What was that?

He's done it now.

He finally blew over Midorima.

Not only that, but that was the pass

only Generation of Miracles could catch during middle school!

Is he going to be all right running on fumes?

You could argue that wasn't the time to force a dunk.

I mean, there's not much point to dunking, anyway.

He loves to show off.

So do you.

But...

Kuroko...

it sucks, but the coach was right.

I don't think I can jump anymore.

I'm going to have to trick Midorima into thinking I can cover him.

I don't really want to say this,

but the rest is up to you.

Okay.

Ugh, I'm tired.

I don't want to move.

Maybe I'm getting old.

I don't have any energy.

I want to eat bread.

I thought you'd be here.

Huh?

Did you fake being sick to skip another game?

We'll win anyway. It's too much work.

Sheesh!

Anyway, it sounds like Tetsu and Midorin are playing against each other right now!

Maybe Tetsu will win.

After all, he's the man I fell in love with.

Maybe Tetsu will win.

After all, he's the man I fell in love with.

We'll see.

-You never know until the game's over. -What?

They're both strong players.

They took the middle school championship title three years in a row.

Both Tetsu and Midorima.

When did he get there? I don't know what's going on anymore!

There it is! Two more minutes! It's a one-goal difference!

Shutoku High time out!

SEIRIN - SHUTOKU

I didn't think...

I didn't think you would catch up this much.

Midorima, you once said

dunks are shots that can only score two points.

Your threes certainly are impressive.

But I think inspiring dunks, like the one he just made,

are worth more than the points they score.

That's the last time out.

Seirin's got control of the game right now.

Will Shutoku break away, or will Seirin overtake them?

It's a deciding time out.

There's two minutes left. We'll put everything into Midorima.

But Kagami can still jump.

No, he can't.

That was just their coach covering the truth.

Their number ten is completely out of gas.

Crush them with threes.

Go!

Coach, Otsubo and the others can't like

letting the first-years handle this.

I know.

But our next three years will be focused around Midorima.

That's what it means to acquire one of the Generation of Miracles.

-Midorima! -Crap, it's Midorima!

Kagami's at his limit!

I thought they might try that!

Once Kagami's trick was revealed, their passes would focus on Midorima.

It's like they're telling us where they're passing to!

Seirin countered them!

I know raw talent is all that matters.

But I can't say I'm happy relying on first-year kids.

We upperclassmen have our pride.

Miyaji and Kimura practiced harder than anyone.

But more than that, the regulars represent the guys

whose hard work didn't even get them on the bench.

Nothing makes a king more proud than winning!

Putting everything on Midorima

means having the other four defend.

We'll hold it and hold it,

and in an instant, we'll finish them with Midorima's three.

This is kind of creepy.

I thought it would get more intense.

Since Shutoku dropped their pace,

the score's been frozen in place.

One more minute.

SEIRIN - SHUTOKU

-They moved! -It's Midorima!

Thirty more seconds and a five-point gap!

Damn it!

Izuki!

All right!

Seirin got their own three!

Two points!

Eighteen more seconds!

There's no time! Get them!

Seirin's ball!

Fifteen seconds left!

This is Seirin's last chance.

Otsubo's marking Hyuga?

They're doing everything they can to stop our threes!

Seirin has to make a three.

If Hyuga can't make this, it's over.

I acknowledge your skill.

That's why I'll do everything I can to stop you.

I don't want to owe you anymore.

You just gave me a pretty passionate block.

I've still got a lot of passion myself.

Last year we faced reality when they tripled our score.

But because of my love of basketball,

I managed to make it this far!

A screen! But it's weak!

I can catch up! What?

He's so far from the three-point line.

He's going to shoot from there?

I don't believe it!

-With three seconds to go! -Seirin won!

Did we win?

You haven't won yet.

Midorima!

Let me tell you why I am determined to shoot from so far away.

It is not simply because my shots are worth three points.

It's not unusual for comebacks to happen

in the last seconds of a close game.

Sometimes, they are the result of desperate shots.

I will not leave it up to chance!

That is why I end games with a buzzer beater.

That is what it means to do everything humanly possible!

This isn't good!

He caught Kuroko and everyone else by surprise!

Kagami can't jump anymore!

We're gonna win!

Move, legs!

From the first game, to this game,

to the very end, you can't just get in my way!

Impossible! He should be at his limit!

I believed in you.

I believed that even at your limit, you would overcome it and jump.

Crap!

What kind of heart does he have?

A fake with only a few seconds to go?

Is this what the Generation of Miracles can do?

I believed in him as well.

I believed Kagami would jump.

Kuroko!

And that you, believing that, would lower the ball one more time.

All right!

Game over!

All right!

We really won this time!

-We won, we won, we won! -We won, we won, we won!

Let's go line up.

Even Oha Asa's gotta be wrong sometimes.

Shut up.

Eighty-two to eighty-one, Seirin!

Thank you very much!

I guess the rain isn't going to stop today.

The championship league is next. Which means it won't be long...

before they play Aomine.

Yes.

Ah, Midorin, it's great to talk to you again!

How was the game?

Did you win? Did you lose?

Which was it? Tell me!

What's wrong with you? Enough already--

You sound grouchy.

I know. You lost, didn't you?

Aomine?

I did.

You should be careful in the championship league.

What? What're you saying?

Gross.

The only one who can beat me is me.

PREVIEW

Ready, and poke.

Kuroko, that kind of return would knock anyone over!

I'll do it again. Poke.

Enough already! I'll do it myself!

-Hand it over. -I'll do it again.
