I'll bet this ring on our next game!

Today's game is a tie.

If you lose the next game, we'll pretend this ring never existed.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Don't hold back, Tatsuya!

EPISODE 47 IT'S OBVIOUS

That promise you made over your ring...

it's not a bet at all.

No matter who wins, you won't be brothers anymore.

Did I tell you about that?

On the way home from street ball.

You're not fooling anyone.

That's right.

I don't want to be Taiga's brother anymore.

No. 12 is pretty good.

What?

Since this is his first appearance at a tournament,

I don't have any data on him.

Is he good enough to put Dai on guard at a glance?

A shot?

A fake?

It totally looked like he was going for a shot.

I've never seen such a perfect fake.

No, you don't!

It's a pincer attack!

He made the shot!

His play's so fine, I can't help but admire him!

I can't believe the captain and Kagami couldn't react at all.

What kind of trick is he using?

-He's not doing anything. -What?

He simply stopped and made a jump shot.

However, because he transitioned so smoothly,

neither of them noticed him enter his shooting motion.

It's an incredibly ordinary play,

but each element is of the highest quality.

He's the exact opposite of the formless Aomine.

He adheres strictly to orthodox methods.

It's like a refined dance.

I saw what was happening, but couldn't respond.

I can't believe how smoothly he moves.

All right!

Your mind must be cold, and your heart must be hot.

That part of you hasn't changed at all.

You still do, don't you?

Somewhere in your heart,

I hope you don't still think of me as your brother.

When we were younger,

I didn't feel anything because of the obvious difference in our abilities.

But when I saw he was nearly as good as I was in middle school...

I realized something.

I didn't want to lose to him.

Our relationship as brothers was getting in our way.

Even if he thinks he's trying his best, subconsciously, he holds himself back.

I want to fight Taiga at his strongest...

and crush him.

It's not a fake this time. Block!

Mirage Shot.

That's impossible.

The ball passed through his block.

This happened when we played street ball.

You and I are enemies.

Come at me like you're trying to kill me.

-Kagami! -Me?

Should we be doing this?

They're probably giving him time to cool his head.

Kagami's weakness is he can't separate his emotions from the game.

He's too kind.

We can't afford to worry about him, though.

We've got a much bigger problem.

We need to score two points off Yosen. In other words...

we have to pierce the Shield of Aegis.

You know everything's riding on that first shot, Kiyoshi.

I know. Honestly, it's outside my specialty, but I'll make the shot.

You never learn.

I just don't understand why people work so hard when they can't win.

Whether or not I can win doesn't matter.

Working towards a goal is just so much fun, I can't help myself.

Don't you enjoy basketball?

What?

It's annoying that you can say things like that.

Both you and Kuro.

A double clutch!

Don't act like you've accomplished anything

when you're only going to lose!

It's not over yet!

What? When did he get there?

Everything's riding on that first shot.

The center's shooting a three?

All right, Kiyoshi!

It must've been a fluke.

Kiyoshi didn't have any threes in our data.

He can't keep it up.

It's not even a clever plan.

-All right! -Nice shot!

Damn it.

Don't worry about it. We're just getting started.

We've taken enough precautions.

Let's go pierce the Shield of Aegis.

What is that?

Let's have some fun.

This guy's the point guard?

What do they think they're doing?

It's on you, Teppei.

Is he shooting another three?

Crap, I can't reach!

Everything you do is so annoying...

Kiyoshi!

So that's how it is.

Seirin's going to win this battle.

-All right! -What?

Murasakibara's following!

-It's all right. -What?

His Eagle Eye is truly useful in situations like these.

Repeated attacks can't beat Murasakibara's defense.

With those reflexes and his huge body,

he can reach most shots without jumping.

However, even Murasakibara has to jump

to stop Kiyoshi's mid- and long-distance shots.

If he jumps, his next move is delayed by the time it takes for him to land.

He can't stop attacks like that, even if he knows they're coming.

I said it doesn't matter if I win, but don't get the wrong idea.

I don't intend to lose either!

That formation...

Are they using the same plan again?

But isn't that...

I just shouldn't jump.

Don't you enjoy basketball?

Atsushi!

What am I doing? I'm doing the same thing as before!

All right! Things are starting to flow well here, too!

He made it! Nice three!

We're trailing by one digit!

White, time-out!

A time-out, huh?

Looks like they weren't expecting that.

Considering Kiyoshi's long-range shooting percentage,

Muk doesn't need to jump.

They took precautionary measures to stop him.

The first was the three he made earlier. Making that made a huge difference.

Even if his percentage is low,

making them think he might make another had a big impact.

Furthermore, Kiyoshi's got his Right of Postponement.

When he goes for a shot,

he's really trying to make it at first instead of faking.

The last one's only a guess,

but I think he provoked Murasakibara.

What?

I don't know what he said.

He doesn't like those kinds of guys in the first place anyway.

Those measures are moving Murasakibara's body.

He's even using his own hatred against him.

He looks nice, but he's tough.

-Kiyoshi, have a towel. -Thanks.

He's sweating so much.

Of course he is.

He's the point guard on offense and the center on defense.

It's like doing two jobs at once.

Kiyoshi's just that...

Kuroko, I need a favor.

Could you go throw this out?

What?

Are you sure?

I thought this was an important memento.

It's fine.

Keeping it only makes it harder to let go.

Besides, between my past with Tatsuya and my future with you,

it's obvious which is more important.

He's coming out.

-Kagami... -Please.

It's okay.

No one can beat Kagami now.

A shot?

Is this a fake, too?

Impossible!

He reached me with that form and from that distance?

The real battle's only starting, Himuro!

-Izuki! -Kagami!

Go, Kagami!

I'll crush you this time,

Kagami!

What should I do? Should I keep going, or...

What am I thinking?

The answer's obvious.

If I turn back now, I'm no ace!

Murasakibara!

Go, Kagami!

Kagami!

So high.

But if that's all you think it takes to win...

Don't get ahead of yourself!

Kagami! Kagami, are you all right?

Sorry. I'm fine.

What was that?

He was trying to do something.

What was that?

Kiyoshi!

They're triple-teaming Kiyoshi?

Yosen's finally going for the big play!

Crap!

Fast break!

Himuro!

You're not going anywhere, Himuro!

A Mirage Shot!

Damn it, slipping on sweat at a time like this.

It's no use!

I won't make it in time!

Kagami finally stopped Himuro!

No, I just happened to slip.

I see. Maybe...

Kiyoshi!

They're not open. I have to take the shot.

A three?

You're rushing.

That's mine.

Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi's amazing!

Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi!

Kiyoshi!

Referee time-out!

Sorry, Kuroko.

I just tripped and fell dramatically.

Don't worry about me.

Teppei, are you really...

I'm fine. Let me play.

Please.

YOSEN - SEIRIN

We finally rose this far.

I don't want to interrupt this flow.

I can keep playing.

Let's all win together!

Even if I told him to stop, he wouldn't listen.

In that case, at least we can try to take some pressure off him on defense.

Damn it, a steal!

They're triple-teaming him again!

A three-man attack?

What? You think you can take me?

I'll crush you all at once.

His rhythm and form are off.

He won't make this one.

This bastard. Is he using all his strength to slow me down?

He made it!

We're only five points behind now!

Go! Just go for it!

You can do it!

You can do it, guys!

Don't you enjoy basketball?

I'll show you...

just how cruel a sport basketball is.

I can't take it anymore.

It's so displeasing, I could puke.

Watching you squirm.

How are we supposed to stop this?

Hard work, determination, faith...

He's coming.

I'll crush them all.

All of them.
