After watching the episode, I googled "Kai" to know what i means and found out that it means "Renewed" or "Refresh". So it's Ignite Pass: Renewed. So that's why Dragon Ball has Kai too

Oh cool, Ignite Pass Kai... FUCK YOU CLIFFHANGERRRRRRRR!!!

Their training was so fast, its not even a 1 episode. We'll finally see what Kagami trained in America.

Damn, Aomine look so badass there. This match is gonna be awesome. oh yea

Thanks for a great cliffhanger, but I finally saw Akashi!! That scissors o_o

I find it a bit weird that the centers are so short at 193cm... the average height for a center is usually a bit above 200cm yet Murasakibara is the only one that reaches that height and he is considered freakishly tall in the anime:P I know asian people are shorter in general but still

Love the anime though!

It was right about time, Akashi. I hope we're gonna see a match with him anytime soon.

Also, it was pretty funny to see Tora and the other coach.

I wouldn't mind seeing it either, it was a great match.

True because that's to be expected in basketball players. But as an Asian, I think their already really tall for Asian high schoolers, regardless of being basketball players. Although their height shouldn't even really be an issue in this series as there are other questionable things to talk about XD

anyway, 'love this episode but I'm gonna wait out until all episodes of "Seirin vs Touou"' have been completed to increase my excitement for this match >w<

Well teleporting isn't new to Kuroko...
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...

I think Kagami would have fought back against Akashi if he wasn't in shock/disbelief that this dude would try to stab him in the face like it was nothing. Though, if you think about it, getting into a fight could get him banned from the tournament. So play basketball first and kick his ass afterwards!

Ignite Pass Kai...lmfao is this even basketball anymore? It looked like the start of a Rasengan XD. Kuroko should try using it on Akashi's face.

I lmao when Akashi tried to stab Kagami, that right there made the episode a 5/5 for me. I swear the rest of the episode could have been about Midorima and his vodoo toys or Murasakibarak stuffing himself while having a boring convo with Kuroko and it would still have been a 5/5 episode for me xD

Is it weird that I was hoping that Kamagi wound would be worst than it is? Akashi is sooo going to be a favorite character of mine. Can't wait to see more of this guy!

OMG THIS WAS GREAT~ IT HAD ME PUMPIN N SCREAMIN AT EVERY LITTLE THING LIKE I'M AT A REAL GAME!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO EXCITED AT THE END WHEN THEY FINALLY STARTED! and the coaches talking was so awesome toooo!!!!!!!!! Mabo being startled when he hears who coached Seirin hehe
I already knew that red hair(or should I call him Pink hair?) Akashi would show up and since I was spoiled some of his past (or at least I think so, can't be sure since whatever I had read from the manga was already shown in the anime n I prefer to watch it rather than to read it, but you always come across some spoilers on the internet..) But I'm not surprised by red hair's actions at all.. I'm a bit surprised by how everyone obeys him though(for example Midorima didn't give his scissors - his lucky item to Murasakibara but then gave them to Akashi..) n very curious about that promise.... It can't be something about manipulating them into losing or w.e. also very interesting flashbacks between Kuroko and Aomine.. SO MANY interesting things to look forward to! BUT FOR NOW LET'S WATCH THE GAME!!!!!!! (I'm not sure I could keep up without reading the manga after I watch the next ep now(since it's out)).. I prob won't be able to wait for episode 15 awww <3 GO SEIRIN!

Everyone seems so excited for Akashi, but he was portrayed like the biggest asshole of them all.
(Though they were all arrogant in the first introduction). I sure hope his character goes deeper than what was portrayed in this short scene.

So i don't understand is Akashi stronger than Aomine?

He says the only one who can beat me is me, so does that mean if hes stronger they've never played?

I mean that seems a bit weird if so, he doesn't seem like the type of character that would say something like that if he wasn't the strongest.

Also that scissor scene was ridiculous, so if he wasn't good enough to dodge him he would have just committed murder. Way to over the top, it would have been more believable if he hit him with his fist or something.

Damn, winning is second nature to Akashi.
The Generation of Miracles are all preparing for the Winter Cup and they get to have a meeting!
Damn, Akashi with scissors is dangerous. Lucky Kagami knows how to dodge.

Seirin vs Touou starts and Touou gets the first point.
Lol, Ignite Pass Kai sounds silly, but it looks badass.

I don't care much for this show, only watching that while eating so I ca avoid to think too much on it. But seriously with that new guy, it just took a turn for the worst... Never lost at anything ? Way to imagine a character...
And he's a shrimp too... Try boxing, see if you still win. So many of this show's characters deserve a good beating too.

Not the anime's fault though, just a pitiful author.
I hate shows like that, when the animation and pacing are top-notch, but the story sucks balls... Can never determine who to blame.

IGNITE PASS KAI!!!!!!!

KUROKO'S GOING DRAGON BALL Z IN THIS SHIIIIIIT

AND HE'S GONNA SAVE AOMINE'S SOUL. I CAN'T WAIT.

Honestly, I've been worried about Aomine since he was introduced. To me, the whole purpose of this match is for Kuroko to prove there's stronger players out there and restore Aomine's hope and love for basketball. Only then will he return to his former self. The friend that Kuroko knew and loved.

kuroko the king of cliffhangers. dang.

that flashback was unneeded of kuroko, but now that i think about it i'm thinking he's using kagame to be his next aomine???? idk that's what i think.

also why did no-one report akashi for firstly being insane and secondly because HE JUST ABUSED AN OPPOSITE TEAM MEMBER. i swear i would have been so pissed off, his "I give no mercy". yeah well i don't either. SECURITY!

also i feel really bad for seirin. they're the only team going against the miracles, again and again. the energy they will have to bring to the table will be nothing short of brutal.

Darn, I was actually hoping that they'd show a little more of the training and more of Kagami in the US. They might later in flashbacks, but I can't imagine it being the same. Also Akashi is easily one of the stalest characters so far (Mr. Perfect with a superiority complex, who could've imagined that?). At least there was some nice sakuga at the end.
