THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I think Seirin is doing a lot better than I had thought in this match now. Yosen shows some of its true powers though and I'm impressed. In particular, Tatsuya is pretty damn good there. It's almost like watching him go up against Kagami in the old days. Nice.

I can't wait to see what else Yosen can do.

A player who does basic skills perfectly. They finally got the points with sempais' attacks. That also gave red hair guy a chance to think about how to fight back, and enemies to think of tactics. 3-person tactics. SuzuKen's character is finally furious.

Another epic episode :D

Dat Kiyoshi!!! The dude is just tooo friggin BA!!!

The way he was playing as a PG on offense owning Atsushi a few times while being Center on Defense. Like a BOSS!!

His stamina is almost emptied though T^T

Taiga got into BA mode after re-entering the match :D And already figured out Tatsuya's moves ^^

Atsushi is damn pissed at Kiyoshi though. He got owned quite a lot letting 35 points be scored on him.

Finally!! He went into offense mode and damn he looks creepy XD Can't wait for nxt.

Go go Seirin. Damn. Kiyoshi as a point guard. Love it... although it is too taxing for his legs.

This episode is so full of teamwork and I love it... and now Murasakibara is not defending anymore! Hell yeah.

This episode was so good. Tatsuya's shot was so perfect, that shooting form was pro. I had no idea Teppei was that good, playing 2 positions like that. I wonder what Kagami was trying to do that scared Atsushi so much. That ending was so epic they finally managed to piss off Atsushi, can't wait for the next ep!.

Gotta love Kiyoshi. I couldn't wait to see his position as a point guard. Also the way he provoked Murasakibara was clever and sly. And shooting that kewl 3 pointer. He isn't a crownless general for nothing.

I think what's so great about KuroBas is how different the matches are - they're not recycled at all. The difference in atmosphere between this match and the Touou match is substantial. Also, Murasakibara is really just like a little kid - he's almost spiteful in a way and he can't accept viewpoints that challenge his. I hope Seirin teaches him about maturity in this match. Go Kiyoshi!

One question was all it took for Kiyoshi to get into Murasakibara's head.

Kiyoshi is doing a lot for Seirin, but him falling down wasn't a good sign.
Seirin was able to catch up, but now Murasakibara is going to play offense.

lol, Kiyoshi procoking the hell out of Murasakibara.
It seems Mukkun is also in da zone now *-*

I wonder how they'll going to handle that.
Is it just me or did Yosen get a lot worse at blocking stuff?

Also, didn't that one guy hit the ball out of Kiyhoshi's hands when they were triple-teaming him? I thought this was not allowed in basket ball, only when the ball is not in the player's hand.

Mirage shoot looks like a copy of Phantom Shoot, only with less light special effects.

the epicness continues. man, that dude is huge compared to rest of players.

I thought he would participate in scoring at some point, considering that if seirin beat them without him scoring is kinda like cheating.

I am sure there is another angle to Kagami vs Tatsuya. Tetsu will definitely come back and do something. I thought Teppei was going to prove himself to be a better center in this match but with him falling down, I have doubts now.

Loved this episode. Kagami let go of his emotions and Kiyoshi showed Murasakibara how a real MAN plays. I knew there was a reason I liked him lol. Himuro's fakes are ridiculous ;P Not much Kuroko this ep but thats ok- we got to see a rare moment of emotion from him ^_^ and finally, Murasakibara's had enough? He's on offense as well now? What can this monster do? What can Seirin do to stop him? Can I wait another week to watch it?

Guess I'll have to.

It's allowed as long as you don't touch the hands of your opponent.


Good episode. Really enjoyed the pacing.
It was nice to see some team-play instead of the usual one-on-one. Seirin made Yousei defense look worse than it is but it didn't felt forced.

Showing Murasakibara how to really play the game.
Himuro's smooth transitions, crazy as.
Seirin making Yosen's "Shield of Aegis" look really weak.
Murasakibara getting really pissed, time for him to go on the offensive.
More epicness to come :D

Oh man, this episode was incredible! Kiyoshi is such a boss! >:) Loved how he was owning Murasakibara. However, looks like fatigue starting to get the best of him since Kiyoshi is playing a huge role on both offense and defense.

And oh shoot, Mu-kun is now taking part on offense. @.@ Fortunately, that's means that he can't camp on the other end and just be a defensive wall that stops fast breaks and other quick run and gun offense so easily now. And Kuroko has yet to come back in.

I just realized why Murasakibara at the end didn't look as intimidating as he did in the manga. The anime replaced Izuki with Kagami: http://imgur.com/fK5KnYi

Also, it was probably difficult for his hair to stay up (like it did in the manga) in the anime. Wish they dedicated a little more budget to Himuro though. Poor guy. When that manga chapter was released, he at least got to live up to (that ridiculous) hype for a week or 2. Looks like the anime team didn't like this part about Aomine saying he got fooled by Himuro as well: http://imgur.com/XMB2lCv

Kagami's block on Himuro was reminiscent of his equally ridiculous block on Aomine from an impossible position when he first entered Animal Instinct mode. Kagami's probably the closest to Murasakibara in terms of reflexes and blocking. Next week's the episode I've been waiting for all season. Murasakibara is going to come into Seirin like a wrecking ball.

Thanks for pointing that out with Aomine.
And I know this is Kiyoshis and Kagamis game but they could've at least stayed Hyuga and Izuki in the final scene. idk would've had more of an intimidating effect.

No it isn't. Murasakibara can't enter the zone because he doesn't love basketball.

Hard work, determination, faith I will crush them all - Murasakibara

Don't let me down next episode Murasakibara...Himuro was disappointing in this episode in my opinion. Guys like Kasamatsu, Takao, forgot the other guy name but the evil glass guy from Touou. All of them had better moments then Himuro which is kinda weird considering that Himuro is a important character for Kagami.

Seirin showed some sick team play in this episode, alot of folks complimented Kiyoshi so let me praise Izuki Shun. Finally they put his eagle eye to good use! Anyways loved the episode but boy can't wait for next.

When the center can point guard now thats when you know you got someone who can be compared with the generation of miracles.
The animation might be off but man did I enjoy this thing. I understand how Himuro feels, I mean if you know something about basketball you know that if the player guarding you doesnt give he's all , its disrespectful for you and the game, also if the guy guarding you doesnt even try to stop you you'll get in the same position as Aomine , you will think you are the best and than someone will come and crush you.
Anyhow Himuro might do that so he can get Taiga to play at his full potential :D
