So finally Kagami's special skill is made official. He was really cool, until he burned out. Now it's time for Kuroko to knock Takao out. (if Kuroko is boasting about, it has to be really really cool!) It's always nice when he is showing emotions, so his punch was great. I wasn't expecting Kagami to pay him back but still it was a nice scene. And Aida was as cute as ever. I hope we see her shining as a coach as well.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

I think this was the best episode so far.

Kise's prediction was right, while Kagami is getting stronger he is also getting more egocentric and individualist. Good that they have Kuroko to punch him lol

But I think that this was the best Kagami's moment so far. He just beasted out and beated Midorima, man that was awesome.

I'm waiting for the game to finish because...

Well, at least Kuroko managed to snap someone out of his sense. It's really dangerous when a team ended up with only one player calling all the shots. :(

Can't wait for the next episode! How I wish I have a time machine to fast forward my time ><

Good episode but oh my god seriously I don't care how good of a jumper Kagami is how the heck do you block a shot when you start ON THE GROUND and the guy shooting has ALREADY RELEASED THE BALL?! IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. Or how do you block someone's shot when they start shooting while you are RUNNING TOWARDS THEM?! Not to mention him marking Midorima on his side of the court. YOU HAVE TO BE ON YOUR SIDE WHEN THEY START WITH THE BALL. Grahhhh I hate it when people DON'T DO THEIR RESEARCH OTL
Well, enough complaining. Crazy how Midorima's shot *gasps* HIT THE RIM but still got it in. It's always nice to see that the basketball team doesn't SUCK except for him (which you'd expect, but really people). TAKAO IS STILL LOVE LOL. I honestly thought they were gonna break the raccoon and then they'd be screwed, or that something would happen to Midorima's nails. I TOLD YOU KAGAMI'S HOROSCOPE WOULD BE IMPORTANT.
Didn't expect Kuroko to punch Kagami. Kise was right, he was getting more and more arrogant and thinking like "I'm the superstar" (like several ... notable ... NBA stars) and such. Although this kind of thinking has been seen everywhere, it's not surprising they bring it up now, although it DOES get a bit annoying :S
Well, Kuroko's gonna bring it up to "another level", leaving one to wonder why he doesn't just start like that in the first place. Ah well :P

Oh man... this episode was really thrilling.

Kagami`s jumping ability is officially pointed out and Midorima gets shocked for the first time in his basketball career. I knew Kagami would run out of gas but at least it wasn`t the final quarter.

Kuroko and Kagami punching each other in the face was pretty intense. Though, some necessary wake up calls. It was pretty funny seeing little Kuroko get totalled by Kagami and knocked to the ground ^^.

Let`s see how the climax of this game turns out.

Aida also made my day with her internal conflict, lol ^^.

Kuroko's Basket reminds me a bit of the early episodes of YuGiOh!, when everyone played the way they wanted lol.

Kagami's sign means bad things for Midori. How convenient.

thoughts throughout the episode:

-thats the first time i've seen an iphone in an anime. lol. any other shows have that?
-kagami's extraordinary jumping ability, he's part black. lol. even the coach says it. "with jumps like that, i can't believe this guy is japanese". lmao
-and damn kuroko punched the crap out of kagami. wasn't expecting that. great speech by him, knocking some sense into kagami. also can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve this time.

5/5, good stuff

Lol, a meteor could always hit the other team's bench...NOT!

"Hey. You. What's your sign?" That's usually something you'd hear in a cliche pick-up line. XP

Kagami needed that punch, he forgot why he started to play basketball in the first place, caught up in all the strong players they were encountering. And Kuroko didn't join Seirin to have more of the same, he wanted to play on a team.

Seirin is lucky they didn't get disqalified for fighting actually. Or run out of time to talk.

Kuroko is sadly a moving punching bag, he's so adorable. I fear for his wellbeing. Kagami that jerk though! I wonder if they'll be able to win this.

Midorima is ridiculously OP! Kagami became ridiculously OP too....sorta xD Honestly I've been thinking "To beat Midorima, they must be able to fly high. Jump jump jump! higher!"

Lol, meteor. While Kuroko's benched, Koganei finally made a shot.
Oh damn, Kagami made Midorima's shot hit the rim. Midorima is definitely incompatible with Kagami.
So this is the strength of Kagami without Kuroko. He has an innate jumping power.

Kagami's out of gas, but he's pushing himself too hard. This is why Kuroko punched him. Lol, he gets a punch back.
But I agree that you can win without being victorious.
"I can only pass the ball, but I can take it up another level." Damn, we're about to see Kuroko do something even more amazing.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

awesome kuroko i would have punched kagami so that felt so good..

still i think the pressure of him not being able to contribute to the team as much as kuroko and senpai's got to kagami and was pissed at himself like feeling left behind so kuroko knocking some sense and telling this is great because telling him this made kagami realize that they think i am doing something and senpai's made sure kagami know "you have done plenty for the team kagami" which he has.

i think the games pressure got to kagami ! but now its all okay let's see what happen next :3

LOOOOL HIS SERIOUS FACE

listening to midori he sounds a lot like daisuke ono. also has anyone noticed that all the miracles have special hair colors that stand out? we could say that kagami obliterates this ideal, but it was said early in the show that he has the potential to be one.

and i hate that ending...:_; these episodes seem so short.

Wasn't expecting Kuroko's punch but it was much needed. Kuroko knows how to handle Kagami, thank god, that idiot was really starting to get annoying with his self-centredness. His jumping ability as well as his tenacity was pretty amazing to see though. And while I do agree with Kuroko that victory is sweeter when you achieve it through the power of the whole team, thus making everyone happy, I think Kagami has a point that he cannot rely ion Kuroko always being there to send him passes. He's gotta figure some stuff out for himself.

Aaaand of course Kuroko has something else up his sleeve against Shutoku, I'm guessing a new move that he hasn't perfected or completed yet. Ahh I need to go to bed but I wanna watch more. This show is just exciting as ever.

Kagami managed to stop Midorima's shots, but because of that it exhausted him already. And for the moment there, he became self-centered trying to win the game without the help of his team, but glad Kuroko punched him to wake him up.

This match is so intense, maaan.

I want Seirin to win this, but I don't want to see Midorima sad. Hahaha. Jesus.

Kuroko getting mad at Kagami to the point of punching him was quite a shock but he 100% got what was coming to him. Judging from the way he reacted, I'm pretty sure that the arrogance of his teammates was what made Kuroko hate the sport.

Kagami and his jumps just keeps on delivering!
