MAN this episode was AWESOME. FINALLY Kuroko's spotlight moment, and a buzzer beater nonetheless. So awesome the strats and other gameplay fights. It was more strategic than anything.

I can't wait for the Teiko arc, it should be good. Can't wait to see the old them and the middle school Akashi. The team captain. Who was Kuroko's friend? Can it be...

This is just getting better love this show. Also love how they altered the OP and the ED for this.

5/5 great episode. Series is getting real.

Kuroko with the game winner! I did like how this episode covered a lot of the game planning by Kuroko and Seirin in general.

Teiko arc, here we gooooooooooo! Haha, I love how the younger GoM look. xD

Finally the game was ended. To be honest that match was very great, so much surprises. Probably the next match will takes even more episodes, I guess.

It was a very good adaptation of the manga, i still felt the excitement and awesomeness even if I knew how Seirin won, Shame they didn't expanded on Kaijo's sadness after the game, especially Kasamatsu's...I really liked that part in the manga. I think its going to be 6 eps each respectively for the flashback and final match arc

So I guess they didn't show the match between Midorima and Kise in the manga?
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

As most of u guys, I feel Kaijo deserves the win. Kisse has proved that he is the best, no one could stop him. If he wasn't injured it would definitely be a win for them, but ya that happens even in real life so no complaints!
I actually liked how Kuroko managed to make a good long term plan, that certainly won't stand Akashi tho.

Looking forward to the story of Kuroko's past.


I think Kagami was very weak in this match. He didn't play very well compared to other matches, and he did not enter zone

So the match finally ended, huh. It dragged out a bit, but was a great match nonetheless. Predictable but great.

And anther miracle happened within 4 seconds. Seirin must have the power to make time go slowly.

I doubt Kise will be able to play in the match for third place, so we know who is going to win.

Looking forward for the Teiko arc. Looks like Akashi has a split-personality.

Not just a simple episode, but this one that which let me with more enthusiasm! ^.^
The way how they started the episode, and the incredible performance they made at the ending showing parts of the OP in the ED music, and also we've got more interesting story about Tetsuya and the others too...

That buzzer beater. Too much epicness.

Definitely felt that Kaijo could've won it if not for Kise's injured foot. Unless Kagami enters the Zone or something.

Interested in the Teikou arc. Can't wait to see how it all began.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Strange decision putting the ED song in the middle of the episode.. Also I wonder who Kuroko's friend was? Based on what Midorima said about there being "two Akashi's" I'd have to assume it was a nice Akashi before he turned into a psycho or something like that.

Best part about this episode is that this match is over. I would've enjoyed it a lot more if it wasn't this dragged out. Kise was amazing throughout this match though, the win should've went to Kaijo, they deserved it way more than Seirin but then again they're not the MCs. The Teiko arc next time!!! I was waiting for this!

Wow, the match was some bullshit. I mean, real bullshit. It ruined the whole pace of the game.

There are two Akashis? Not sure what they mean by that, but again not surprised. Not surprised even if the author would make Akashi a literal God.

Anyway this Teiko arc looks interesting, no more super saiyan for a while.

I liked that, Kuroko throws the winning shot for the team. :)

Now, bring on the flashback arc! <3 People are probably gonna be complaining for a while, but it's all worth it in the end. :)

Just you.

Oh by the way, manga readers sure like to spoil some stuffs eh. Won't you guys stop that?

Judging from the comments and news of new opening, this show could potentially go on for 3 cours? o_o? I am not sure if I want the final match to be that dragged.

So yeah, Kagami... how exactly did you beat Kise? By falling on your ass every time he came in front of you? And that Kise crying scene couldn't have been done worse.... I know I'm not much moved by crying scenes, but that has gotta be the worst one I've seen in an anime so far.

4 seconds is a long time in basketball (the shortest time allowed for a player to catch and shoot is .4 seconds) and the court itself isn't all that big.

This*. Also, it's a peculiar rule** in basketball that when an inbound pass is made (in this case Kiyoshi throwing the ball at Kagami), the clock actually doesn't start until the pass is completed. Hence, the clock only starts when Kagami touches the ball.

Source: http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/22/time-stands-still-when-a-player-rolls-the-ball-in/

Teams have five seconds to get a pass inbounds but the game clock does not start until someone on the court touches the ball.


The buzzer sounded immediately after Kuroko released the ball. Not far-fetched to imagine that this can happen in 4 seconds:

1) Kagami catches the ball and dribbles a few steps.
2) Jumps and throws the ball off the backboard.
3) Kuroko catches and releases.

*This video exemplifies how small the court is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFnMtfSoCPY
From John Wall grabbing the ball in his own half to him releasing it for a layup, it took 2 seconds.


**I don't know if the author actually knows this rule, but at least there is a rational explanation out there.
