Original subtitles

Are you trying to prove yourself my equal?

You can't do it.

Your light is too dim!

I don't want to lose anymore.

I'm sick...

of seeing my friends cry!

If I can't do it now,

when will I do it?

This game...

Is this what happens when two guys in the Zone clash?

Out of bounds! Black ball!

What an unbelievable battle.

Those two are in a completely different dimension.

No one's scored for almost a minute.

What's going to happen now?

Because they're both in the Zone,

their focus and reaction speed have exceeded their maximums.

Neither one is making any progress.

But why are both teams completely relying on their aces?

If they passed the ball to the other four players, couldn't they score?

It's pointless.

It wouldn't change the outcome.

The Zone doesn't simply allow one to exhibit 100% of his strength.

All unnecessary information is cut.

His ability to handle necessary information

regarding not only the player in front of him,

but also the positions and movements of the other players, increases.

-What? -In other words, his field of view widens.

Furthermore, one is the fastest high school student...

and the other is the highest jumper.

They are far beyond the range of an ordinary person's defense.

Against those two, a half-hearted attack would actually be dangerous.

That's why the game has been left up to the two aces.

In this situation, how can they...

No, they're doing it because they're in this situation.

Aomine...

He's always been like that.

Since he started playing street ball,

the stronger his opponent,

the more excitement and focus he played with.

Looks like he's having fun.

Aomine and Kagami...

The sparks the two aces sent flying captivated the entire stadium.

It seemed to continue endlessly, and everyone wished it would.

However, the conclusion was sudden.

He passed him!

Kagami!

We're only trailing by three points!

That's impossible.

Is Kagami faster? What's going on?

He can't pass him?

No! There's no way Kagami's faster!

It must be the Zone's time limit!

While the Zone allows an athlete to play at 100%,

the recoil is significant.

But why only Aomine?

An ace carrying his teammates' wishes cannot lose.

I believe in Kagami.

Don't be ridiculous.

That can't make me...

Aomine, you're strong.

If this were a one-on-one, I would have lost.

I've already exceeded my time limit, too.

But the reason I can keep on fighting is I have support.

I'm fighting with more than one man's strength!

For all the guys,

I will win!

Yeah!

We're one point behind!

But there are only 30 seconds left.

We can do it! I know we can!

Excuse me. I'd like to call a time-out.

Are you okay, Aomine?

Don't touch me.

I just tripped.

Don't get in my way.

This is the best part.

Things are just getting hyped up.

I'm sorry. We don't need a time-out after all.

Harasawa's not calling a time-out.

Even if he calls one now...

No, he should be calling one now.

It's hard to say.

There are some things you have to experience to understand.

For better or worse,

if he calls a time-out, it'll disrupt the flow of the game.

Sometimes you make that call after seeing the look in your players' eyes.

There are times when you prioritize emotion over strategy.

Come on! Let's stop them, even if it kills us!

Amazing.

Their defense is good.

Defense! Defense! Defense!

We're fully aware of that.

There's only one thing for us to do.

There are no more tricks left to play.

But Aomine is still the strongest!

He stopped him!

Yeah, Kagami!

He's cornered!

Crap!

Impossible.

He can still make shots like that?

Damn it. He's a monster.

I won't lose.

A battle's no fun if you don't win.

He made the shot! Touou struck the killing blow!

This three-point difference is too much!

This isn't good. There's no time left.

Seirin doesn't have the strength left to play in overtime.

They can't tie the score with a three-pointer.

They need two more shots.

If things end like this, nothing will have changed.

I don't want to see that happen.

Win, Seirin!

Don't give up!

There's no time!

Do something...

Please do something!

It's coming down to the wire.

I need to take a chance.

Barrier Jumper!

Misdirection Overflow!

It won't work.

Damn it.

His Overflow has stopped working.

Kuroko is truly at his limit.

Captain!

Kagami!

Make the shot, Kagami!

Crap. He's going to stop the dunk.

What should I do? Damn it!

Kagami!

Don't tell me you believe you can fight him in the air.

That is only half the answer.

I'll become able to move at will in the air!

A pass?

He finally conquered his assignment from the summer

at the very last second.

Go!

No, you don't!

They're stronger than us...

but it's the only way to create an opportunity for a comeback!

A fake? Is this bastard...

Defense! Pushing!

Black No. 6! Basket counts!

One throw!

All right!

You're amazing, Teppei.

But I'm even more surprised by Kagami's assist.

To improve his aerial battle,

he'd been practicing his left-handed handling since the summer.

He may have been in the Zone,

but I can't believe he made it happen at the eleventh hour.

I can't believe he passed there.

Not bad.

They're one point behind.

And they drew a defensive foul.

They've got another free throw.

There are five seconds left.

If they make this, they'll be tied. The game will go into overtime.

That path will only lead to their demise.

Seirin needs to make a comeback here to win.

To do that...

Their course of action is decided.

There's only one thing they can do now.

They won't make this free throw.

No, they'll make sure it'll miss.

Then we'll steal the ball and score.

It's the only way to win.

We've given everything we have and are at our limit,

but they've got stamina and benched players to spare.

Our loss is certain in an overtime game.

However, with Kiyoshi shooting, Kagami and I will be rebounding.

Naturally, I'll go for the ball with everything I have. But...

if anyone has a chance, it's you, Kagami.

Let's go.

This is our last play.

Battle for the rebound!

One shot!

What?

He's wide open! He can take it to the basket!

We won!

Wait a minute!

What...

What are you doing there?

Kuroko!

Even though I'm on his team,

I thought Kagami had the ball for a moment

and was a few seconds late to move after Aomine knocked the ball away.

I can't believe he moved faster than me.

That's impossible.

Did he believe not in Kagami, but in Aomine instead?

No, that's not quite right.

I believed in both.

However, there's only one person I believe will make the final shot!

Kagami!

Go, Kagami!

Besides, I'm sure you'll meet someone more amazing than yourself soon.

Time's up!

I...

lost?

I see...

I lost.

I...

Line up!

Kuroko!

Are you okay?

Sheesh.

You can barely stand with support.

No one can tell who won now.

But maybe that was for the best.

The reason I lost was that difference.

Why are you acting like it's all over?

Things are just getting started.

Let's play again. I'll take you on.

Shut up, idiot.

Aomine.

Your basketball cannot win.

You win, Tetsu.

Can I ask you for a favor?

You still haven't returned my fist bump.

What?

-Who cares about that? -No.

Try putting yourself in the shoes of the ignored.

Fine.

This is...

the last time, though.

Next time, I'll win.

Okay.

Seirin High wins with a score of 101 to 100! Bow!

Thanks for the game!

It's time for the third-years to retire.

Thanks for everything.

Wakamatsu will be the new captain.

Make us proud.

Wait... What?

You'll be fine. It can't be taught. You'll get used to it.

That's not the problem.

You changed subjects so quickly.

What are you talking about? We lost our first game.

If you've got time to be sad, go home and practice.

Their eyes...

It's only natural.

They're third-years.

This was their last tournament.

There's no way they wouldn't feel something.

But I won't be able to handle Aomine the way you do, Imayoshi.

Don't you like Aomine?

I don't.

Then who do you think is most suited to being this team's ace?

Aomine.

As long as you understand that, you'll be fine.

I'm not worried.

Speaking of which, where's Aomine?

He's missing, and Momoi's looking for him.

That brat!

I found you.

Don't go wandering off by yourself.

Let's go back to the rest of the team.

Satsuki, are you free tomorrow?

What? Well, yeah.

-Will you go shopping with me? -What?

Sure, I guess.

What? Where did that come from?

I want new basketball shoes.

I want to practice.

Sure. Let's go, Dai.

-Buy me dinner, though. -What?

Huh? We're not ready to go yet?

I want to leave, too, but...

Let's leave them be for a while longer.

What?

Good work, boys.

Excuse me...

This place is huge!

But there's nothing in here.

All I do is eat and sleep here.

Let me use your bathroom.

-It's over there. -Is this it?

A b-b-blonde?
