| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty tense episode. From the flashbacks to the action on the field, Rakuzen fights against Midorima's team. I have to say that Midorima is doing quite well with his long shots originally. Still, I don't see Akashi and the Uncrowned Kings are trying much. I mean, Akashi did mention that he is testing them... I swear though, he can be so intimidating with his eye when staring into Kagami this episode. The Emperor's Eye is to be feared. |

| Mentioning of "normal" people trying their best, including the sempai who is strict. Enemy's attack doesn't seem to work on OnoD's character, so for next half HiroC's character decided to use his eyes' powers, which OnoD's character knew about it. HiroC's character's daze scared that tall guy before the second half, and others during the second half. They don't still give up. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| (hurt because of Shuutoku flashbacks) |
| Akashi being a God was kind of expected, so yeah, that was cool. The Emperor Eye animated looks really good, and Akashi's "Nobody fucks with me" attitude is just amazing. The flashbacks were kind of unneeded. Also, I love how the animators just completely erase Mayuzumi at every moment possible. Still, next episode seems great. |

"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| So is there a fifth player on Rakuzan that I just keep missing or are there only four people on the court from their team? |
| lol Akashi ok,nice episode...i especially liked how Midorima died inside when he received the idol uchiwa. and Midotaka moment interrupted by Miyaji slapping Midorima's head (do i like when Midorima is suffering?maybe:D). and obviously the highlight was Kaijo screentime. |

| Akashi is so OP... although cant wait to see Midorima and Takao moving soon. |

| Wow Akashi with that Emperor Eye is really OP. I don't think Midorima can beat him. |

| The Emperor has arrived! Akashi was RUTHLESS! O.O Hayama had his short moment of glory too at the beginning. Next episode is one of the parts that I've been anticipating a ton. Midorima/Takao is gonna be awesome! >:D Fun flashback too for Shutoku. I can't remember if it was in the manga, but it was nice. |
 |
| Badass episode. 'I won't allow anyone who goes against me to look down on me.' Great badass quote by Akashi but he's shorter than everyone except Kuroko Midorima's messed up hair was cute. |
 |
| Good episode. Akashi and those ankle breaking moves. |
 |
| what does akashi's emperor eye do guys :? is it like takao's? ;o |
| I just love the ankle breaker as Akashi just walks past all of them. |

| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!! I got chills this episode! Absolutely loved the intensity and attention they gave to Akashi's Emperor Eye! It gives Lelouch's Geass a run for its money! "Lower your head." "I don't allow anyone acting against me to look down on me." Perfect! <3 |
| So Akashi can see the future basically |
Fenix29 said: So Akashi can see the future basically wutt......thats badass as fkk :O oh and i got chills in episode 4 with kise ;o too kwl~ |
| Oh man, that was just too much. A whole new level of bullshit. The count of impossible things now reach two. But at least he is badass af lol. This was an exciting episode. |

| whats 5th player like? how come i didnt see him in the game :? kuroko>>>everything else |
FackuIkari said: yes, and actually he is there all the time, he get screentime so much, screening, blocking, passing, standing, even theres a card featuring all picture and name of 5 rakuzan players, including him.CodeNameShield9 said: So is there a fifth player on Rakuzan that I just keep missing or are there only four people on the court from their team? the fifth player is there, don't worry, you'll know him many ppl just didnt notice :p katsuragi33 said: whats 5th player like? how come i didnt see him in the game :? kuroko>>>everything else rewatch the episode, he is wearing number 5 jersey |
katsuragi33 said: whats 5th player like? how come i didnt see him in the game :? kuroko>>>everything else His face is hidden because he wasn't formally introduced yet. He will most likely have an introduction soon, as the best player or something or as a secret weapon. |
|
| Man, Akashi is ridiculously OP and that Hiroshi Kamiya voice is wonderful ! "No. My orders are absolute" Oh my! |
 |
| They should do opposite of this what they want to do, and opposite of what Akashi know what they will do. And then they could be like 'I knew you will know what I want to do that I do opposite of what I wanted to do, but I know you will knew you will knew that I made it that why I made opposite opposite of what you knew I will do' xD Anyway... tsudecimo said: Oh man, that was just too much.

| That middleair pass with the elbow... wow. |
| This was great... I really liked how they showed a bit more of Shutoku's third years and then the match was just tense. I expected to have Akashi something as crazy as that, but it still managed to amazed me. |
| 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... |
| doesnt akashi seem like gaara in naruto :? anyone notice the resemblence? ;o |
| I hate akashi ! lol how could he make kagami lower? pffff kagami eat 10 hambugers and go for him!!! :* get stronger and erase him!! lower your head?? aomine won´t do this for sure ;) Midorima have secrets mmm love that glasses :D |
katsuragi33 said: It boils down to essentially seeing the future, but the manga explanation, in my opinion, makes it much more enjoyable (they hint at this explanation in the animation, but never say it). They might eventually so I'll just tag it what does akashi's emperor eye do guys :? is it like takao's? ;o To those calling bullshit, if you want a realistic representation of basketball go elsewhere or just watch a real game. KnB takes every fundamental skill that exists in basketball and magnifies it, if that's not something you can enjoy then why bother watching this far? |

I thought it would be something like predicting movements, thanks for sharing. So it's just an exaggerated move not impossible like Kuroko's drive. |

| How are people taking this anime seriously |
 |
| Good episode,finally getting to the good matches. |
Pknoctis said: How are people taking this anime seriously how are ppl not taking this seriously ;o |
| I really liked this episode. The animation was pretty good (it has been in this 3rd season though) and the music acompaining Akashi made him look like an actual Emperor. Kurobas soundtrack never gets stuck in my ears, but this time it got me. Excited for next episode! |
unsolvedenigma said: first off, lovin the midorima screen time (fav chara!), and when his hair was all messy & blowing crazy...good look. xD omg akashi's eye is totally OP, i agree with previous posters that said the same thing. i am still loving the intermission team roster graphic. i cant wait to see the midotaka move together! 8) good animation once again, great introduction of akashi in the anime (his character comes through very strong), and lastly great depiction of the teamwork that midorima has acquired. cant wait for next ep. T_____T <333 yeah midorama is pretty kwl in episode 3 when kise copied him you see his hair blowing that was sexyyy and them glasses though :o though his normal combover isnt that great :/ |
| Someone make a gif of Miyaji's dunk :P Daaamn, dat OST in this ep :O |
| all that hype for rakuzan and then .....damn im looking forward to the final game. |
