Original subtitles

I don't care if they're geniuses or prodigies.

Break them, and they're all just trash.

Rebound!

Kiyoshi!

I don't care if I'm the only one who gets hurt,

but I can't stand you injuring my teammates!

I'll always put myself on the line

to protect the members of Seirin!

That's what I came back for!

EPISODE 35 IT'S TRUST

SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

Seirin pulled ahead by five points.

It feels like they barely made it.

Hey! Where are you going, Aomine?

The bathroom.

Hanamiya's in a foul mood.

Well, he does hate when things don't go his way,

and that type of guy.

Move!

Wait.

What?

Why do you play in such an underhanded way?

Do you really enjoy winning like that?

Of course not.

But if I don't do it,

how am I supposed to beat teams

with members of the Generation of Miracles?

I made a promise.

I'll place first in the Winter Cup, and...

I'm kidding, idiot.

They say the misfortune of others tastes like honey.

Don't get the wrong idea, goody two-shoes. I don't want to win.

I want to see guys who've worked hard and devoted their youth to basketball

grind their teeth as they lose.

Do I enjoy it?

Yeah, I do.

What I did to your seniors last year was a masterpiece.

-Bastard! -Kagami!

I hope you don't think that's the end of it.

You're only just starting to grind your teeth.

Damn it! Those bastards!

Geez! Don't take your anger out on stuff.

Kiyoshi, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you sure you're okay? Those guys...

This is what I came back for.

If you switch me out now, I'll hate you for the rest of my life.

Damn it! I'm so angry!

You shouldn't break things.

Shut up! I know that!

Anyway, I'm amazed you're so cal--

KIRISAKI DAI ICHI HIGH CHANGING ROOM

Seriously?

Yeah, I figured out the trick behind No. 11's drive.

Misdirection's a trick of misleading someone's line of sight, right?

In other words, he's really good at detecting movements of the human eye.

Meaning... this is the answer.

What? Eyes? Is it eyes? I don't understand! Cut your damn hair!

What?

If he can shut down that obnoxious drive, I'll leave him to it.

Our web will be ready soon.

Hey. I didn't think I'd see you here,

Ace of the Generation of Miracles, Aomine Daiki.

It's you.

You're as rude as ever. Be polite when you talk.

You're the one who's playing as dishonestly as ever.

Dishonestly?

Give me a break.

That's just bait so we can trap them.

Don't be ridiculous.

I don't know what you're talking about, but you're going to lose this game.

What?

You really underestimate me.

In fact, I wish you'd tell me how I could lose.

It's not about whether or not I'm underestimating you.

There's no reason.

You made Tetsu angry.

That's all.

Really?

How's it going to be?

Here comes the Vanishing Drive!

Change!

It's about blinking, isn't it?

He predicts a blink with his exceptional powers of observation.

The moment his opponent's eyes close, he ducks in.

That's how the Vanishing Drive works.

Once you know the trick, stopping it is easy.

Blink out of time intentionally.

What's wrong, Kuroko? Do the drive already.

Even if he wanted to, he can't!

You're finished!

What?

Kuroko!

All right!

-Yeah! Nice work, Kagami, Kuroko. -Thanks.

Don't you think it's a bit much to jump over someone?

What? You're the one who passed like that.

But...

Don't you go for the drive when your opponent blinks?

What? I do?

What?

This is different from what you told us!

Looks like I was wrong. My bad.

Don't be ridiculous!

-Your mark is No. 8. -Got it.

They're saving their invisible boy for later.

You can't use Kuroko's misdirection all the time.

He's been doing a lot since the beginning of the second half.

SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

Seirin has complete control.

Perfect. Kentaro, you're in.

They're subbing someone in, too?

He'd better not be even more violent than what we've seen so far.

Besides...

Hanamiya just gave an order.

Kirisaki Dai Ichi's coach must really believe in him.

Oh, no.

I don't know what happened, but their coach quit last year.

Now he's the captain and the coach.

What?

All right. I'm awake.

I've always thought that hair was terrible.

Shut up.

I can't think if my forehead is covered.

Ready?

Let's go.

Nice rebound!

What's going on?

This center isn't a power player.

At the very least, No. 12 was a lot stronger.

Crap! He stole the ball?

They scored off a fast break.

I can't believe they stole such a fast pass.

Don't worry about it, Izuki.

-Change gears. -Yeah.

They're strong-willed.

Izuki had the ball stolen twice? That's impossible.

SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

Yeah!

Sorry, but you're not scoring again.

What?

You're caught in the spider's web.

Now you'll die a slow death.

Since No. 5 came on the court, Hanamiya's been stealing more balls.

Well, he's a genius.

Of course an Uncrowned King is...

No, not like that. I'm talking about his brains.

-He's really smart. -What?

We attended middle school together.

He always did well on exams without studying.

He's that smart?

After seeing a game once, Hanamiya can perfectly recall that game.

Based on that, he analyzes the movements of an opposing team.

The team's movements?

Seirin's style is team basketball based on passing.

It's pretty high-level, too.

Everyone constantly observes the floor balance

and makes the most effective choice.

But that's the trap.

Hanamiya reads all of his opponents' attack patterns and steals the ball.

Especially Seirin's No. 5.

He really is a good point guard.

His Eagle Eye affords him composed judgment and accurate passes.

He doesn't stand out, but he supports Seirin from the shadows.

However, that precision makes him the ideal prey.

Damn it, again!

Amazing.

Hanamiya's always been good at stealing the ball,

but his accuracy's improved dramatically.

How is he doing that?

SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

It's a comeback!

What's going on with Seirin?

They've had the ball stolen every time!

Seriously?

An IQ of 160?

-Yeah. -Are you really that smart?

I am. We're different.

You bastard!

Anyway, there's someone more impressive.

I'm not even close to him.

I can't beat him.

Seto links with Hanamiya and reduces potential pass courses.

With Hanamiya alone, even if he can predict a pass,

he can't always get it.

But using Seto...

he can steal 100% of the passes.

Damn it!

In other words,

the first half's rough play was just preparation.

If they can crush them with rough play, good.

Even if they can't, their opponents become angry.

Their attacks become simpler and easier to predict.

He deserves to be called the Bad Boy. It's a nasty scenario.

The more you struggle, the deeper you fall into their trap.

Seirin's in trouble.

They're like prey caught in the spider's web.

The only points Seirin scored in the third quarter

were from that first dunk.

Seirin's fallen silent.

-Damn it! -Izuki...

This isn't good. It's a vicious circle.

The angrier everyone gets, the deeper we fall into Hanamiya's plan.

I didn't expect Hanamiya to make so many steals.

We should still be able to score from the outside, though.

We made one other miscalculation in this game.

Hyuga hasn't made a single shot today.

We may be able to break free...

if I stop playing with the team.

An 11-point difference.

Despite shutting down their offense completely,

we didn't score many points.

No. 7's the problem.

His offensive plays and rebounds are no joke.

Then there's no problem.

Kiyoshi's covered in wounds.

One more push, and it's...

goodbye.

SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

Let's get a basket!

He's coming in.

They're breaking out the trump card.

This should be interesting.

It's no use.

We know their attack patterns with No. 11.

With me supporting him, Hanamiya's unstoppable.

What do you mean, Kuroko?

I meant exactly what I said. You four keep playing as you have been.

I see.

It's a gamble.

A gamble is something you win or lose.

This isn't a gamble.

This team can do it.

I already know everything, you idiot.

You're going to pass to Kiyoshi next.

What?

He made it!

All right!

Yeah!

Nice!

Did Hanamiya read the situation wrong?

No, his prediction was correct. It should have been the best route.

His teammates' reactions were strange, too.

Both No. 5 who passed and No. 10 who received the ball

were caught off-guard.

I don't believe it.

That attack...

Kuroko's intermediate passes have always been team plays until now.

Even if they seem like unexpected trick plays to their opponents,

they're well-established attack patterns to his team.

But that pass...

wasn't built into an attack pattern.

His teammates didn't know about that pass.

In other words,

Kuroko changed the pass course on his own.

Not even Hanamiya can predict a pass his teammates aren't expecting.

But how did he catch that pass?

He just did.

When you practice with him every day, you start to understand how Tetsu thinks.

What you need isn't logic.

It's trust.

SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

We're slowly closing the gap, but we're still not strong enough.

We need one more push.

Please!

Hyuga!

He missed!

Is Kiyoshi okay?

Coach?

-So annoying, so annoying... -Seirin, time out.

I don't care about protection or trust. It's annoying as hell.

I won't be satisfied until I break them all.

There are a few things I want to say, but...

First, you're at your limit.

You're out, Teppei.

What? Wait a minute!

Just a little more! If you take me out now--

No.

If it means repeating what happened last year...

I'd rather have you hate me.

Riko...

I agree.

Kuroko...

I don't have an older brother,

but when you said you'd protect us, you seemed like one.

It made me happy.

I want you to keep protecting us.

I don't want you to push yourself any harder in this game.

I'm sick of this!

We're telling you to leave the rest to us! Shut up and sit down!

You think we'd break our promise?

I see.

Well, it can't be helped.

We'll become the best team in Japan next year.

No, I didn't mean...

By the way, when we were on the roof, you...

You're right.

The rest is up to you.

Of course it is, moron!

Stay there and wait like a good little boy!

We'll bring you back a ticket to the Winter Cup!

PREVIEW

Kiyoshi.

Damn it! I'm going to get Hanamiya for this!

We can't lose to such underhanded tactics.

Let's show them the power of the Seirin basketball team!

EPISODE 36 DON'T BE RIDICULOUS

We'll make their dream come true.
