SEIRIN - KIRISAKI DAI ICHI

All right!

We did it!

Yeah!

All right!

Yes!

We're going to the Winter Cup!

So you've won, Kuroko.

They're all taking their time.

I'm sick of waiting.

Aomine was smiling.

I'm starting to get excited, too.

Wait!

Since we won and advanced to the Winter Cup...

I'm so excited, I can't stop shaking.

That's what you call trembling with excitement.

In any case, things are finally starting now.

Every one of Teiko's prodigies,

including the phantom sixth man, is participating.

The Winter Cup will be all-out war with the Generation of Miracles.

All right! I feel awesome!

Don't give me that!

Why are you playing one-on-one with him, you idiot?

It's better than being scared.

Let's go! The Winter Cup's next!

Let's beat them all and become the best in Japan!

EPISODE 37 I LOOK FORWARD TO IT

Kagami, you shouldn't let your towel touch the water.

What? Really?

Viva-non.

What's viva-non?

Who cares? Idiots.

Your remarks are lacking bite, Hyuga.

Of course they are.

After all, we're at the hot springs.

Riko can be smart sometimes.

Yeah, taking us to the hot springs to refresh ourselves.

Tomorrow we're going right back to practice.

-Don't lose focus. -I know.

Look, look! I'm doing the butterfly!

I knew you'd do it, but don't do the wildest stroke.

Hey, let's go over there.

-Sure. -Hey, you!

Don't tastelessly wear your towels around your waists.

Look at Kagami.

His towel casually slung over his shoulder.

His dashing standing figure.

His swim trunks...

Swim trunks?

I've never been to hot springs before.

Kids from abroad.

Fine, then.

Underclassmen wash their seniors' backs.

What?

You just want to make him do it.

Like this?

Hyuga!

How'd that happen?

What's wrong with you? That brush is for cleaning!

I thought he was going to kill me.

You're turning into cotton candy!

I don't know where to start!

They said we could wash Number 2.

In the bath?

Hyuga, why?

-I thought I'd try again. -With a scrubbing brush?

Things are pretty lively next door.

Now that you mention it,

there was a group of college girls at the front desk.

What?

Kagami, come here.

Forward march!

Hey, where are you going?

-Isn't it obvious? -Don't say that with a straight face!

-Idiots! -Hyuga, why are you going with them?

You're lucky you have your Eagle Eye!

It doesn't work like that!

Riko would kill you if she were here.

Kiyoshi, shut--

You're right!

Kuroko!

Sorry. I feel a little dizzy.

Get out of the bath.

-Kagami, go with him. -What?

What should we do?

This isn't good.

Our peeping specialist disappeared.

His misdirection doesn't work like that, either!

Is that one of Kuroko's nicknames?

A little more...

I can't...

There must be a way!

A hole! I found a hole!

What? Good work!

This team is hopeless.

Now, now. You don't dislike this, do you?

Come on, Tsucchi. You, too.

But...

HAS A GIRLFRIEND.

Damn it.

The hedge is in the way.

They're coming!

Move the bucket!

You seem to be having fun.

Let me join you.

What are you boys doing?

Coach...

-No, we're-- -I thought you were making a lot of noise.

All of you, clench your teeth.

WOMEN'S BATH

Unbelievable.

Mind if I sit next to you?

Go ahead.

Thanks.

We shouldn't have peeped.

Of course not.

You're as lively as ever.

Sheesh.

Want something to drink?

A sports drink.

They're sold out.

Fine, then. I'll go buy some outside.

Thanks.

You...

Touou Academy?

Why?

Why not?

We just happened to be practicing in the area.

We happened to decide to relax in the hot springs.

And you just happened to be here.

Don't be so tense. We're both representing Tokyo.

Let's at least get along while we bathe.

Here.

Thank you.

It's been a while...

Tetsu.

Aomine.

This feels so good. My shoulders have been so stiff lately.

You don't seem like you'd have that problem. I'm jealous.

Shut up!

What is she doing here?

Actually...

She's so huge!

Oh, right.

There's something I wanted to tell you.

Hot!

-Wakamatsu! -I can't take it anymore!

What? But it hasn't even been five minutes.

Come on. We bet drinks on this.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine! Sorry!

You don't need to apologize.

I'm back!

You're already out.

By the way, we saw your game the other day.

Congratulations on making it to the Winter Cup.

Thanks.

You seem to have improved dramatically since this summer.

I didn't recognize you.

That's not what you came to talk about.

It's too much of a coincidence for us to run into each other here.

What are you up to?

I saw your game.

Was that the new move Satsuki mentioned?

Yes.

I developed it to use against you.

Sorry, but it won't work.

The one that'll win the Winter Cup...

...is us!

Don't put your arm around my shoulder.

Kagami.

What are you doing here?

You're going to win?

It's not enough.

More.

It seems you really did open the door,

but you're just standing in the entrance.

You're not even close

to the Generation of Miracles.

You're not even entertainment yet.

What is he talking about?

It's true that we were practicing around here,

but it's not a coincidence, either.

We knew you were here and dropped in to say hi.

Our manager got her hands on these Winter Cup match-ups.

The official announcement isn't until later.

What?

Schools from the same prefecture shouldn't play each other

in the first round.

Normally, they don't.

But schools from the special bracket are an exception.

Which means...

I look forward to playing you.

Your first opponent in the Winter Cup...

-is us. -What did you say?

SEIRIN (TOKYO) TOUOU ACADEMY (TOKYO)

I like Tetsu, and that's why I won't hold back this time.

It's too bad you'll be out after the first day, though.

Let's have a good game.

You're acting pretty superior, aren't you?

Don't underestimate us!

My boys aren't that weak!

-You just wait! -We'll show you!

Such courage.

I'm not impressed, though.

You sound like you think you've gotten stronger

and closed the gap between us, but aren't you forgetting something?

Forgetting something?

By the way, we played against Josei at our practice game today.

Josei...

We played them in the preliminaries.

The score was 108 to 61.

JOSEI - SEIRIN

We beat them soundly 170 to 39.

It's so simple, a child would understand.

It's been six months since the Inter-High.

Everyone's practiced and become stronger during that time.

It's another national tournament,

but every team will be several degrees stronger at the Winter Cup.

Don't think we haven't changed since last time.

Sorry, Kagami.

I... actually celebrated internally just now.

What are you talking about?

Everyone's thinking that.

No one thinks winning will be easy.

If we win enough games, we're bound to face them sooner or later.

Nothing beats repaying a debt quickly.

Fine. Bring it on.

-All right, everyone's here. -Yeah!

Excuse me...

Kagami's been missing since this morning.

Your bed head is ridiculous!

Kagami's missing?

It's fine.

Starting today, we'll be practicing without Kagami for a while.

I'll explain later.

Okay, let's go home.

Where do you think you're going?

Our training camp starts now.

What?

Are all the kids here?

The coach's dad?

Don't call me Dad. Call me Kagetora.

Kagetora, what are you doing here?

My lovely daughter asked me to come.

I came to make you stronger.

First, I have a question for you.

Step forward if you saw Riko naked yesterday.

He's got a gun?

Come forward now and I'll kill you painlessly with a single headshot!

We tried to peep, but it wasn't Riko. It ended in failure.

Listen up! I'm the only one who can see Riko naked.

-No, you can't! -What?

Riko, you said you'd marry Daddy when you were little--

Get started already!

-But you said you'd marry me. -Shut up about that!

Fine, fine.

Start by taking your shirts off.

This seems familiar.

Well, you're not bad.

You seem to have been keeping up with Riko's training since this summer.

Your stamina and muscles show balanced improvement.

Split into two groups.

Wait up, jerks!

Go play cops and robbers in those mountains for about three hours.

What? Already?

Afterward, the losers will practice footwork.

I don't care, idiots!

-I'll let you off with double practice. -What?

Dad, is this a fartlek?

By using their whole bodies to run over uneven ground,

they'll improve their overall fitness.

Riko, I knew you'd--

Just get on with your explanation!

You're right.

Like I mentioned earlier,

they've all improved physically, but they're stiff.

You can't just build muscle.

Your body needs to be able to use them.

They need to become acclimated to the muscles they've built.

Running around in the mountains is the fastest way to do that.

Before we begin practice,

I'll tell you what you need to do by next month.

Riko showed me a DVD of your opponent's play.

They're an aggressive team of strong players who focus on individual skill.

At first glance, they're the opposite of a team

that emphasizes team play like yours.

However, if you ask me, their teamwork is much better than yours.

What?

They don't emphasize team play, of course.

They can just do it.

Ignoring individual play doesn't cut it.

The most important thing is for everyone to always be aiming for the basket.

That's what makes a team come together.

Simply being friendly isn't teamwork.

For example, four-eyes...

Four-eyes...

You tried to dribble past someone in your last game against Touou.

Yes.

-That was stupid. -What?

Why would you fight such a strong team with something you're bad at?

Anyway, don't you make shots from the outside?

Cutie and Cat-face can shoot threes, too...

-Cutie? -Cat-face?

...but they're far from being weapons.

If you'd made your shots from the beginning

against Kirisaki Dai Ichi, you would've won easily.

Realize you're Seirin's lifeline.

Learn to make shots without a screen.

But how?

I was dribbling because I couldn't--

I'll show you.

Cutie, pass me the ball.

What? Kagetora's going to play?

Can he even play basketball?

Not only does he play...

he used to play for Japan's national team.

He's fast! How did he do that?

Something like that.

Just so you know, that wasn't speed.

Even you can do it.

Teamwork really starts to shine with a group of strong individuals.

You'll all develop your own weapons by the Winter Cup.

In other words, they'll be your special abilities.

Some of you noticed during your summer training camp

and have laid foundations.

You have less than a month before the Winter Cup.

I'll train you as much as I can for the price of bloody nothing.

Thank you!

That aside...

By the way, where's Kagami?

Please head to Gate 5 for America Airline

flight AA170 to Los Angeles.

Time to get going...

to good old America.

PREVIEW

What's wrong, Kuroko?

Akashi texted me.

Isn't he one of the Generation of Miracles?

-I'll be back. -What? Seriously?

EPISODE 38 DEFINITELY THIS TIME

Sorry to keep you waiting.
