Whew this episode.
Midorima with all those epic shots, there was so much hope!
But Akashi damn, he's crazy, Kamiya Hiroshi does a great job on him!

Those three's by Shintaro were excellent, props to him and his team for not giving up. Shutoku are doing well, however based on what Akashi said I don't think Shutoku will be able to corner Rakuzan anymore, and Akashi Seijurou is ALWAYS correct.

Really loving how they've animated Rakuzan and Shuutoku's game! The animation this week was perfect as usual, especially the parts where they did Midorima and Takao's high arc three combo and Akashi's 'confession' scene!!

The only thing I'm worried about is the timing of the games.... 3 episodes per match is waaaay too fast, IMO. The pacing could be done a bit better with 4 episodes per game. At this rate, I feel like they are going to zoom by all the matches until the finals and end the series at the end of this season.... Noooo~! D:

Wtf is that white haired guy on Rakuzan? Is he like a new Kuroko that no one notice?

Btw, Takao and Midorima's combo was pretty awesome, too bad they lost, although was predictable. Hope to see them some more in the future.

Great episode. We got to see Mayuyu's eyes this week.
Shuutoku tears + Kaijou rematch next week, so I don't know how my heart will handle it ;_;
Anyways, this match is my second favorite match of the series (right behind Kaijou vs Touou). It's a short match, but we really get to see Midorima's character development and how much he's changed for the better. Also, some great development for Shuutoku, specially considering how much they hated Midorima in the beginning.

Why do i know pink is going to win? BeCause there is a secret character on pinks team. I haven't seen him playing or touching the ball,... i just known that he is Kuroko's Antithesis. It's a great anime.. but a little bit predictable. I'm also sure that Kuroko is going to win the rematch. And for some reason, i think that there is some kind of messed up bet to see which of the "miracle's" basketball styles is the best.. the "promise". All of this is wild guessing.

Cant believe Midorima slipped on sweat twice??! I think this is not even all of Akashi and Midorima's strength, I was actually looking forward to seeing them both in the zone, or at least Midorima..

Great to see Midorima learning to work with his team!

Akashi is one extreme guy...

Also, interesting to see how each of the GoM guys get to narrate a match lol.. so far only akashi hasn't XD

What an amazing match!! One of my favourites for sure ^-^
Takao's pass was really something! And Midoriiiiimaa <3 <3
Though, Akashi is for sure the most interesting character in
this anime. When he threatened he would gouge out both
of his eyeballs and offer them to his teammates, I really
couldn't believe it, my eyeballs almost fell out, hahahaha.

One thing that i didnt like about this match was that - when its a battle between two generation of miracles, you would expect them to be playing in the ZONE . I think at least midorima should have gotten into the zone. This match kinda downplayed him by doing that.


Isn't the zone pointless for someone like Midorima? He mostly just shoots three pointers and he already never misses anyway so what would the zone do?
The zone make sense only for players who fight it out under the basket really.

They don't have ''powers'' let alone ''super powers''.

That dragnball super sayian meme shit is overused. 90% of the crazy abilities they have, is exaggerated things found in Basketaball, it is unrealistic, but it didn't touch the realm of impossibility and super powers that much, except for Kuroko.


Your last line shows exactly why users saying things like: "At start it was kind of normal basketball" are full of shit.
Even this guy's crazy abilities are over-exaggerated things that happens(making a triple that drops opponents or predicting a movement happens. It just can't be done at will and often as with this guy). Hell you can even say that Kagami's abilities aren't even exaggerated. The "Zone" thing is nothing more that basically those moments when a great player gets into the court and he seems to be in the perfect form and concentration and he does wonders in the field carrying the team etc. It's simply presented here with little sparks in the eyes and cool effects.
BUT Kuroko? Fuck no. There is no way that a team can't detect a player or forgets about him. His whole invisibility and overflow thing is the biggest imaginary bullshit this show pulled(am not even gonna comment on his shooting since the show didn't explain it but not seeing the ball can't possibly have any logic behind it really) and people pretend now that this Akashi thing is what made it non-basket like when actually Kuroko's abilities are the most ridiculous ones.

Akashi Akashi ...why don´t you look for a tv work being a fortune teller ???
I guess he can´t predict everything...he must have a weak point,I´m waiting to see it...


That's something that the anime changed. Akashi can't see the future, except he has a very high level of perception which lets him see how the muscles are moving.


The anime didn't change it. It just avoided giving a more detailed explanation believing that people have the common sense to understand the obvious. It seems they overestimated the ability to think of some.

Btw Akashi with his "Im absolute" and "fall before me" attitude reminded me of this guy instead of Gaara.

Is it okay to breathe now? Cause Akashi has seriously left me speechless, that was an incredible match. Especially when he shot at his own basket, it's almost like he was shooting himself in the foot to make sure the team knew he was in danger.

I had that one guy on Rakuzan pegged as a pretty boy, but when the blonde called him "Sista Reo" it clicked together that he was effeminate rather than a playboy.

DAMN, those 3 point shots from Midorima were so EPIC. One of the most awesome plays I've seen in this anime OMG.
Of course, it wouldn't make sense if Rakuzan lost but well..., what can you do right?
Midorima is still 10000 times better that Akashi ahahah. Loved the episode.
Next up, Kise's team vs Seirin, looking forward to that *.*

lol and just like that Rakuzan won.. and we didn't even had the chance to see the face of that one dude in their team. Seriously speaking though that emperor eye is just ridiculous as fuck. It's something that was created just so Akashi can live up to his name and title as the captain of the generation of miracles. It's not even fun to see him holding the ball because whoever is blocking him will 100%, surely fall and it will always be like that so it gets boring quickly. At least Midorima's techniques has variation. Boo! Akashi! boo!

That was an amazing game!!! again cool flashbacks.

Midorima catching the ball in mid air to take his shots was awesome but Akashi was even better because he can predict their moves with his eyes, and I think kinda scares them/distracts them when he stares at them.

Akashi is super impressive, I've not read the manga so didn't know what to expect from him or anyone. But looks like he won them the game.

Although saying he'll gauge out his own eyes was really dumb!

Sure Akashi is great...but he is kind of boring. He mostly makes people slip, which might give him an effect that makes him look greater than he is. But then his basketball playing is pretty average. He doesn't have any special moves, or significant shots.

Midorima is a much interesting character and basketball player, he has his long shots and a great fighting spirit as seen with this episode.

Akashi is kind of disappointing to me to be honest.
Even if the future is locked or erased I won't end this prayer because I want to convey my real feelings to you

I don't know why I find “I'm absolute” hilarious, he cracks me up every time he says it with a straight face, it's so Anime.
I've always looked at Midorima as the lesser bland member of the Generation of Miracles, but not after this, he really did redeem himself and as a team, they are one of the best-showcased teams in the show.
