that was my favourite episode of the whole series.

dat animation they gave Kise (Ao mode) was so much better than the one they gave to Aomine himself. lol.

and hell yes for Kasamatsu and Kaijo team being badass.

Kise took the climax. damn.
and that convo with Kuroko in the interval--i've shipped KisexKuroko before i watched the anime but seeing it moving it's just....eh.....cuter.....

chara development is the best thing everrrrrrrrrrr

ps. so much better than ep23.....ep23 was pretty slow

Hmmm 7/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

"Once you look up to someone, you can't overtake them." That makes me think of


Lol why was Wakamtsu congratulating Imayoshi on the foul.

Kise's smirk. 8) He was channeling his inner Aomine a lot this episode, as well as copying his moves. He may have a bubbly personality outside of games but he's definitely got a game face.

Lovely end card!!

This episode had me laughing out loud from the sheer amazing-ness of what was transpiring on the screen. I should watch sports anime more often if they give you this kind of adrenaline rush...

Awesome episode was awesome, and Kise has cemented himself as my favorite Generation of Miracles player after Kuroko.

Awesome episode as usual. I still dislike Kise's ability though.
Copying someone else's skill/moves like Aomine's just seems cheap. Even though he perfected it now, I can't help but feel uneasy about it. It must feel unfair as hell to Aomine as well because he's pulling off the greatest tricks only to see someone mimic everything he does.

It's just not an exciting skill until he starts playing his own game, like everyone else does. Love the character though :)

HOLY FLIPPING MOTHER. I have never been so blood pumpingly raw in my entire anime watching career. What is this amazingness? WHAT IS THIS? I've never felt so... alive! It was like the Shutoku versus Seirin game except even more intense! Holy crap, my heart is beating so fast from all that adrenaline. I felt like I was there myself, watching that game. Thank you, Production I.G, for animating this so well. The production is off the charts.

Kise, I love you. What an amazing character you are.

Kise can't copy Aomine... yet. So he has to stop looking up to him.
And so far, he's copying, yet it's incomplete.

"The only one who can beat me is me."
"What if that 'me' is who you're playing against?"
Shit, Kise copied Aomine! But Aomine won't let things go Kise's way.
Damn, this is intense!

DAMN such an awesome episode.
Kise just destroyed Aomine. HELL YEAH!!!
Really excited to see the final minutes of the game, I wonder who will win *.*
Also, looks like this season will end very soon, right after the end of this game; I was expecting it to end after the apearences of all the players fromthe Generation, but I guess that's gotta wait till season 2 XD
Well, final episode already! *.*

that was pretty intense it got me all fired up.
i gotta admit I did not expect an episode between 2 bad guy teams to be this interesting lol actually I think Im liking this match more than the actual main characters/good guys games.
It was just pretty darn savage when he really started copying aomine and destroying everyone lol

Now i definitely gotta watch the next episode right away lol

OMG this is so good.

Aomine is always saying: "the only one who can beat me is me", and Kise has started to copy Aomine's moves, so he has a good chance of beating him! I wanna see it happen!

pretty much.

17:15 onwards is probably the best part of this whole episode. Kise fucking surprised the shit out of everyone I mean holy shit. He broke past Aomine and was able to copy Aomine's movement perfectly. Aomine got fouled and Kise was still able to make the shot. The BGM was so fucking perfect too. Dammit I need the OST now! :D Although Aomine just never gives up and stopped Kise before he was able to dunk.



i was never impressed with kise since i knew he would get wrecked the second i knew about the round, and was proven right on the previous episode. but that part...
"What if it is the "me" you're playing against?"
after that point...he literally made me gasp from then on. i didn't expect aomine to back down since that would be stupid from the hype the show gave him, but kise surprised everyone​, even me.

Kise's really great and I like how theyve given him extensive focus. That was a really great episode. I really hope Kise and his team manage to pull through and win but this episode had so many shocking moments. May have to give the last three episodes a quick run through again once its over. Will legit cry if Kise loses and what not, final episode cant come soon enough.


this is stupid but i love the texture of the gif. it looks... "smooth", idk.

BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON SO FAR. this is the first time i've ever gave kuroko a 5/5. ......WOW.

Kise managed to perfectly copy Aomine's movements and his speed, and their goal is to bench out Aomine for having five fouls, and so far Aomine already got five fouls, but that doesn't stop Aomine. He'll never back down. Goddamn. Idk who's gonna win now. Waaaah!

I wonder if Akashi will make an appearance in the last episode. I wanna see him already in actual time and not in flashbacks or whatnot! Jesus Christ.

Last episode! I can't believe this.

This episode was too amazing. <33

It was lovely to see Kaijo's faith in Kise and that Kise was beginning to see what Kuroko was saying... When Kise finally perfected his copy on Aomine, he began to think for his team! :-)

I love what Kuroko said to Kise too! Kuroko didn't know who would win because he has faith in both Aomine and Kise, which is why he won't be surprised if either of them wins. ^^

I like that Kise said in Teiko, it was natural for them to win, but now he liked that he didn't know who would win. :)) Kise's beginning to really enjoy basketball and playing with his team. <33

I like seeing Aomine's spirit too! Aomine won't back down just because he has four fouls. I love that Aomine told Kise off by telling the latter not to give him a look of concern; do their best and play the game!

It feels nice to relive the series like this... ;_____;

This episode was absolute nuts especially when Kise finally managed to copy Aomines style. At that point the match went onto another level. But even then I'm still not sure who will win. Both of them and also their teams are so damn good.

The last episode will definitely end with a bang. Can't wait how this first season will conclude.

Kise officially becomes one of my favorite characters. I love Kise having this excellent comeback, I mean they made him lose to Kagami but that was just too..easy? for a member of the Miracle Generation. Kise said he's the weakest out of the five, but no, even though he didn't defeat Aomine, he's still really is strong, he deserves his title of one of the five members of the Miracle Generation, or six if you're counting Kuroko. It's awesome that they have the main characters/squad winning over the member of the Miracle Generation, but didn't make them look weak, they did an excellent job of making the members of the Miracle Generation still look mighty even if they lose to the main character 👍

Daiki starting to break is one of the most hype moments this episode. Kise really got his style down. But now Daiki gonna lock in a lil harder so lets see where that gets him.
