| lolwut Haizaki even stole Kise's girlfriend? That was hilariously pointless. While I hate the guy he poses as a great challenge, loving this match so far. Kise's angry eyes in the preview oh boy~~ |
 |
| All hail Haizaki. I don't get it, why poeple hate Haizaki so much ?? He's an antagonist. What do you expect ?? Overall a nice episode 3/5 |
| Haizaki is really a badass character! I like him. I hope to see him playing against the Kuroko team too. |
 |
| Can't wait for the next episode! especially for that one scene with Aomine :3 |
| Oh no, I really hope Kise won't go to the "zone" too. That said, pretty nice animations and music, sasuga Production I.G. Kise get your shit together. |
 |
| Glad they somewhat explained Haizaki's ability... somewhat. I was starting to think he magically stole their moves and they could no longer use it because of some supernatural power bullshit. |
| Glad they expanded on this part of the match cos it seemed way too rushed in the manga. Love the humorous anime-only bits as well. Should have added a scene of him trying to steal Midorima's lucky item as well. :) |

| They added in quite a bit of anime original content this week. In the manga Haizaki was only shown stealing Moriyama's shot. Him stealing Kasamatsu's drive and Hayakawa's rebounds was anime original, but I didn't mind. They make Haizaki look more bad here as well. He wasn't THIS bad to his teammates, well maybe it was implied. There was no him stealing his teammates passes or kicking them in disrespect, or shoving them out of the way. The manga was much more straightforward. Still a great episode, however. |
| He crushed Kise's world |

| Predictable match is predictable. Decent ep though, I guess one can't expect it to be that good since it's not Seirin playing. At least there hasn't been any Rasengans or Kamehamehas yet. |
| I forgot to mention this earlier but Kasamatsu went so fucking HAM at the start of this game I fangasm'd so much lol |
| AWESOME!!!! THIS EPISODE IS AWESOME!!! its just brilliant. I like both. Haizaki's an ass but at least he is doing it right. He is a GREAT job of being an asshole not some half ass. Love it. Great gameplay and great flashbacks. Poor Kise though, except its just so fun to see the despair on his face when you know that in time, Seiren is going to crush anyone who wins in the end. Haizaki tho... dayum. 5/5. |

| gdi kise get your shit together can't wait to see how this match finishes c: |
 |
| I hope whoever wins, that they win by a good margin, not some last second 1-3 point comeback win like we've seen too many times. |
| Haizaki is a douche. Although I imagine that Kise will eventually put him in his place. |
 |
| Daamn I can't wait to see the next episode. I hope Kise kicks his ass. I really liked the flashbacks, the match seemed pretty exciting as well. Akanezora said: Oh no, I really hope Kise won't go to the "zone" too. I agree, it wouldn't be as amazing if in every match they could get into the zone. |
Rumble_Shift said: What did you expect? Isn't hating antagonists pretty normal?All hail Haizaki. I don't get it, why poeple hate Haizaki so much ?? He's an antagonist. What do you expect ?? |
| Haizaki really likes licking his sperm off his hand |
| That girl and Haizaki are b*tches -.- I hate them. GO KISE!!!<3 Beat the crap out of Haizaki -.- |
  |
| Okay so first of all I was supposed to watch this last night but I was too busy rewatching the first two seasons. But this episode was so Haizaki's. I just can't bring myself to like him even a little. I just want to cry over Kise so he needs to kick Haizaki's ass soon. I need more of the Teiko flashbacks okay. Just give me....the next...episode...asap... |
 |
| Ah it's hard to watch kuroko no basket one episode per week, waiting 7 days to see how will the match take turn -hopefully it does take turn- is just killing me. Kise can do much better than that, he is just emotionally unstable. |
| My Anime List | |
| Animation is actually pretty sweet. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| flashback everywere :v ..... |
 |
| So Haizaki has almost the same skill as Kise only much better. Murasakibara seems to be really good at defense, Haizaki cant even touch his food. |
| I KNEW IT! I CALLED IT! I knew that Haizaki's super power would cause his opponent whose move he stole from to lose the ability to do the move properly himself. Now I'm waiting to see what super power Kise gets. Overall pretty fun episode, definitely lives up to Kuroko's name. |
 |
| 5/5. i can't wait next episode, who is the winner, copier vs stealer? |

| Love the fluid animation! They really paid attention to drawing the differences between Haizaki's copied moves and the originals. |
| So unless someone who has read the manga (or future eps) can contradict my headcanon for Haizaki's ability, I'm sticking to it. So since him permanently crippling other players would be way too op, in my quest for some semblance of balance I think that as soon as his victims are removed from the situation aka match, and they return to everyday practice, they reconnect with their own pace through muscle memory. Of course, there might be some way to resync during the match, since KnB likes to use the pattern "oh no, invincible opponent -> wait, we might have a chance yet -> culmination showdown". Some people here wonder why some are still surprised at the things in this anime, but I just wonder why the characters themselves are always floored by the stuff considering they know people with these fantastic abilities. |
| Those eyes in the preview, heh already, huh? The most retarded "skill" in this show...... wait, that belongs to the Phantom Shot. Either way, I want Shutoku's game to come quickly. It's the best from the remaining games, including this one. |

At least there hasn't been any Rasengans or Kamehamehas yet. you will choke on your words when you see the next 2 matches^^ Great! That's what I'm hoping for, because season 2 was a big disappointment compared to 1, way too predictable. Since Haizaki stops people from being able to use their move once he steals it... Does that mean Kagami won't be able to do that move which Haizaki copied from Kise? Cause technically he saw it from the crowd... Unless it'd only work on Kise? |
| That flashbacks was interesting. I thought before that Kuroko is the last member who joined Teikou, but it was Kise? I think that was fast, I don't remember ending the first quarter. The first half is done already? I wanna finish watching the rest of the game. Haizaki is such a jackass. He doesn't care to anyone, and not respecting senpai. IllnessStL said: I hope Kaijo wins, Kise is gonna prob enter the 'zone' and own Haizaki. I was thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure that he will, I guess that's the only way he can beat Haizaki. |
| At first I thought his ability was pretty dumb, then the full explanation made it less dumb, but it still begs the question, why would the players be affected by Haizaki's rhythm, enough to subconsciously mess with their own? Good episode nonetheless, I enjoyed it, and the captain move in the beginning was sweet, it surprised me. |
 |
| This show is becoming pure shit with its powers, holy hell. Everyone liked this shit? That power is just completely retarded, it's ridiculous. The other powers already seemed weird but this one takes the cup. Worst epiisode so far? |

And one ability doesn't ruin an entire episode. |
|
| Hurry up and beat that bastard Kise.. |
 |
| This is kind of bullshit but oh well |
tsudecimo said: I'm probably putting more thought into this than the Fujimaki did, but here goes nothing. In basketball when someone copies and uses your own moves against, it can get into your head little bit. Couple that with Haizaki being a giant dick, and it makes the head games even worse. The his rhythm messing with their rhythm thing though, is not something I'm exactly a fan of.At first I thought his ability was pretty dumb, then the full explanation made it less dumb, but it still begs the question, why would the players be affected by Haizaki's rhythm, enough to subconsciously mess with their own? Makuro said: Yup, Kise was the newest. There's an OVA that depicts Kise joining the team.That flashbacks was interesting. I thought before that Kuroko is the last member who joined Teikou, but it was Kise? |
 |
| I'm surprised Haizaki isn't always sick from constantly licking his thumb all the time. Especially after touching that basket ball that everyone else has been touching and has also been touching the floor. Gross. Haizaki is just a gross asshole. |
| The game animation is so impressive. Good episode, down but not out |
 |
| WOW 8.70 SCORE ONLY TWO EPS IN SASUGA MAL okay this comment will have two parts: my rant and my non-rant i'll start with the nice one. i love seeing the serious version of kise! and those teiko flashbacks were fun. the animation is really nice. I LIKE THE PART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EPISODE WHERE THEY SHOWED KAIJO BASKETBALL CARDS. WOW SCREENSHOTED. <3 rant part: (no spoilers, but im hiding it because it contains rage) |
| Are they really going to cover all that material in 26 episodes? there is still a lot of games to cover |
