| damn this game was so intense especially kagami and aomine both in the zone. hopefully we get to see more people in the zone in future episodes. |
codifier said: I've seen all Prince of Tennis stuff and yeah I completely agree that it's crazy too, but apparently there isn't any other good tennis animes :( But I really hoped KnB wouldn't go this crazy, like that Kagami vs Aomine stuff was so unreal. :D Well this level of "surrealism" is on par w/ the old PoT (i.e. national championships). But the manga sequel New PoT just takes it to a whole 'nuther plane. Heck I don't consider that tennis anymore. It's Inazuma 11 level ridiculous. Inazuma 11 I can take since it's primarily a kids show. But PoT? Seriously. Granted it's still aimed at adolescent males but still... I'm just waiting for a serve that shatters an entire mountain or a volley that literally travels to the moon and back. Try to read that manga a bit and you'll see what I mean. Ryouma did nitouryuu (ambidextrous) but a high school player trumped him by using two rackets in a match. One in each hand. A la Kirito or Miyamoto Musashi. If he would do a Zorro and use his teeth to hold a third racket I wouldn't bat an eye anymore. See what I mean...... Compared to that KnB is still plenty tame. |

| I bet most of their budget went into the first minute after the OP song, great stuff there XD Some parts felt cheesy, but those were some great moment, especially AominexKuroko fist bump bromance! The part after the ED was pretty good too. Next round, here comes ... High School!! Can't wait for that beast! Ugh next episode.. |

| glad, finally my fav chara (aomine) lost... |
| I can't shake the feeling that the set up of the episodes is getting kinda clichéd here. There are too many games in which Seirin just barely manages to win in the last few seconds with a 1/3 point difference... Would be nice if they tried something new for a start. |
| Holy mother of god. Best KnB episode to date. :] |

There are too many games in which Seirin just barely manages to win in the last few seconds with a 1/3 point difference... Would be nice if they tried something new for a start. Let's see, how many matches so far fall into this 'cliche'? Bold : featured matches Kaijou (friendly) Seihou 1st match vs Shutoku 2nd match vs Touou. Let's see how many don't. Shinkyo (won by 12 points) 1st match vs Touou (lost by a landslide) Meisei (lost by 1 point) Seishinkan (lost by 18 points) Josei (landslide win) 2nd match vs Shutoku (draw) Kirisaki Daiichi (won by 6 points) Nakamiya South (won by 6 points) Morizono North (won by 5 points) Even if you count only the featured matches so far, less than 50% of those were won by 1-3 points. The upcoming matches in the Winter Cup don't count yet. :) |
| Epic ep., i don't have words how to describe it, just epic. Seirin ftw! |
| Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. |
| When the zone fight started, and when everyone was just frozen in thought....I was frozen as well o.o...holyyyyyyy..this game between the last game....was such a difference in pace.longest 5 seconds ever.... |
 |
| Wow :O freakin' epic episode! :D Battle of the zones, and Aomine and Kuroko reconciling! |
 |
| This episode gave me goose bumps. One of the most epic moments of all time, that fist bump between Aomine and Tsetsu. 5/5. |
| wOOOOO!!!! This episode was awesome.Though I'm glad this match is finally over.They were just so many times when this game was going back and forth between the two teams and I didn't know who was going to win.I'm so glad it has been finally decided and Seirin emerged VICTORIUS ! YEAH!!! GO SEIRIN ! GO! |
 |
| That kuroko x aomine moment!! of the feels!! I'm glad Seirin win, but also sad about the Touou senpai lose.. Aomine daisuki~ |

| Nice job Seirin. The zone has a time limit, but hell its useful. All wanna know is who is that blonde girl in the preview, also in the OP. |
| Just four words... Jizzed in my pants.... Jokes aside, this ep was great, even more action than some fighting anime xD Never knew you could do all these in basketball, oh well... Makes me get out of my chair and learn to play basketball... |
| uhh... |
| Kuroko passed out and Kagami caught him. I can only 'd'awww' at it. And that fist bump. -sigh- |
| Why are you blocking a two point shot with a three point lead? |
| Great episode! I really enjoyed it. I was rooting for Aomine because I really like his style of play. The battle was epic though and hopefully it makes Aomine actually want to practice and better himself. |
| Ah they won. I would have been so pissed if they lost that game. It's rare for this show to actually use real life basketball tactics so I was surprised when they finished the game with an intentional miss for a two point score. |

| Wow I just felt that I watched it for 5 minutes Well, that was pretty "wow" episode xD Dat blonde girl @ preview though xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Basically a summary of Kagami's little speech: 'I can keep going because nakama power' I ship Kuroko and Kagami and I don't care what anyone says |
 |
| That zone battle though... |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just some quotes: Tron: Oof. Who violated his cornflakes this morning? Jin: ...I don't eat cornflakes. Largo: Veg'tables!!! Archer: You can't save any life unless you're willing to kill for it. |
| Lmfao, this episode was utterly ludicrous, especially that opening scene. Essentially Dragon Ball Z Basketball. |
| Awesome, they finally made it! It was a pretty good challenge! I was feeling great as soon as they got the two points they needed... Now a new challenge it will start, I hope it will be perfect just like this one. ^^. |

| I got goosebumps when the time was up. A great game. And Aomine was really nice at the end :) .. (Blonde?) xD |
 |
| That was very intense. Best Kuroko game so far. |
| O.M.G. BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!!!! I WAS SO EXCITED AND TENSE FROM THE FIRST FEW SECONDS IT STARTED AND THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE!!! AND FELT TOUCHED AT THE END!!!! (sorry for the caps, i just had to!!!!) |
 |
| In their endless battle of being in the Zone, Kagami finally passes Aomine. You know shit's going down when the OP (the previous one) starts playing. And Kiyoshi goes for the foul with Kagami's assist! It's a battle for the rebound! Kuroko saves the day with an Ignite Pass to Kagami who dunks it in! "You win, Tetsu." Seirin freakin' won! "You still haven't returned my fist bump." Lol Kuroko. Imayoshi and his fellow third-years are leaving. As for the Seirin team, they are quite tired. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Fucking amazing. |
 |
| I've been spoiled by the zone battle watching it on youtube by accident >.< BUT DAMN THAT WAS STILL FUCKING AWESOMEE!!!!!!! god that was, epic. kagami is the real bakemono! when seirin won and kagami raised his hand I FUCking SCREAM SO LOUD. THAT GIVES ME SO MUCH PLEASURE IN MY HEART. OMG. SO HAPPY THAT I COULDN'T STOP SMILING!!!! Kagami is a BADASS. |

Xowlreed said: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EPIC EPISODEEEEEEEEEEE, ONE OF THE MOST EPIC I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE. DAMNNNNNNNN Kagami vs Aomine so EPICCC And did you guys notice the old opening playing while Teppei managed to get that fault? SO AWESOME THIS WAS SO INTENSE, Downright epic. Yeah this episode is for many the best episode of Kuroko no Basket. That Aomine vs Kagami play right after the opening is just hype inducing. |
| 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... |
| HELL YEAH THAT WAS SO BLOODY AWESOME!!! |
| This is an easy 10/10 episode. Animation was sooooo good. |
| HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! THAT SHIT WAS DOPE! HELL YEAH SEIRIN!!! Also that fist bump between Kuroko and Aomine was awesome! And ahhh man, Kagami is a flipping BOSS! This episode was absolutely EPIC!!! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| So many cheesy shounen moments and I'm not even mad Great episode |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| That was fucking awesome. Kuroko with final pass!! |
| Hi there |
| Now that's what happens when two super sayajins clash. Awesome episode. |
| Kagami entered the zone too! This was an amazing game! I can't believe Seirin won in the end by one point!!! D: I really thought Aomine's team would win tbh. The fist bump was finally returned lol. It was like super saiyan mode lol. |
 |
| Predictable, still a good match tho. and that last scene where everyone was sleeping in the locker room was literally ripped off of Slam Dunk lmao |
| Glad it didn't pull a Diamond no Ace |
| FANTASTIC WIN! GOOD GAME! And I learned something about basketball here HAHA You don't always try to aim to shoot in a free throw since it's 1 point, you miss it and go for the rebound for 2 points, THAT IS PRO LOL Since I never heard of purposely missing a free throw, but this was a case where there was NO TIME left on clock! And you need 2 points than 1 point! |

| WE DID IT. THEY DID IT. THEY SAVED HIS SOUL. DID YOU SEE THE LOOK IN HIS EYES? DID YOU SEE HIS SPIRIT SLITHER BACK INSIDE HIS ROTTING BODY? YOU JUST. CAN'T. GET. STORIES. LIKE. THIS. ANY. WHERE. ELSE. THIS IS ALL KUROKO WANTED. ALL THIS TIME, HE HAS BEEN SUFFERING AND BATTLING FOR THIS ONE SINGULAR MOMENT. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THE PAIN THIS POOR BABY BOY MUST HAVE BEEN FEELING? AND KAGAMI HAD THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WORKING IN HIM TODAY BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY HE COULD GAIN ACCESS TO "the zone" SO QUICKLY WITH SO MUCH LESS EXPERIENCE THAN AOMINE. THANK GOD. AOMINE IS SAVED.  |
