Kuroko no basuke (2012) s01e23 Episode Script

Episode 23

My jumping power A style that utilizes that strength There's only one answer.
Aerial combat! That's the only place I stand a chance against the Generation of Miracles! What's wrong? You may be able to beat the Generation of Miracles in an aerial battle.
But you may not be able to beat them on the ground.
My passes don't work against them.
If you can't do it, no one in Seirin stands a chance.
But I just came up with something.
A new kind of basketball to make the most of you and the rest of the team.
By mastering my own drive in addition to my passes, I will surpass the Generation of Miracles.
I won't lose, Aominecchi.
Have you ever beaten me before? I really don't want to lose today.
I'm Not Mature! That's amazing! What is? It's the lifting test.
Only Kise-kun and Tanaka-kun from the soccer team haven't dropped the ball at all! I can already do this after watching someone for a bit.
If anything, I can't believe there are guys who can't do this.
He said we'd get an A if we lifted more than 100 times, so I guess I'm done.
Style is okay, athletics are okay, and academics are pretty okay, too.
But I'm so bored.
I like sports, but I always master them so quickly.
If I play long enough, there's no one left to face me.
Anybody, please, light a fire in me.
I wonder if there's anyone so amazing I don't stand a chance against him.
He's got to be around somewhere.
Come on out.
Just kidding Sorry, sorry.
Hey, you're that famous model, Kise-kun.
What's your problem? Thanks.
Basketball, huh? I haven't tried that one yet.
Now that I think of it, I heard our school is pretty strong.
Amazing! That speed, those movements Can I do that? It's impossible.
No, maybe if I try Oh, man.
I found someone amazing! Going forward, no matter how hard I try, I may never catch up to him.
But that's just what I want! I want to play basketball with this guy! Someday Someday Not someday.
Today is the day.
The game's starting! It's Kaijo's ball first! How will they play? Having played against both Kise-kun and Aomine-kun, honestly speaking, I feel Aomine-kun is better.
Forget the small stuff.
Our ace is Kise! Kise versus Aomine! They're already at it! He broke past him! You're just as weak as you've always been.
You thought you got past me with that? No, it's a steal! Touou's on the counterattack! No.
8 This guy's better at defense than he looks.
In that case Sorry! What a quick release! Kaijo Touou Academy A three pointer.
Looks like Touou took the first basket.
What? Kise-kun again? That's What? That's Sakurai's quick shot! I see you're still good at copying people.
But it's not enough to win! He's fast! He got his hand on the ball even after jumping so late! It can't be good for them to have their ace stopped repeatedly already.
If they get a counter off of this We're in control of the game! What? We're not generous enough to hand over control that easily! Kaijo Touou Academy They're tied! Defense! Let's stop them! Yeah! He made a sudden shot from there? He could have regrouped before attacking.
They got them right back and broke their control! We'll follow up on you as much as you need! Keep going! Senpai I didn't say you could let them get you, though! Sorry! These guys are getting fired up! They're trying to take control.
They've almost taken control of the game.
Kasamatsu-kun, is it? He's got good leadership skills.
There aren't many guys like him.
As long as we don't stop him, we won't be able to take control.
I see.
What a dependable senior.
If you can't fight me yourself, you'll fight me all at once, huh? You've started thinking like Tetsu.
Did you have a change of heart after losing to him? You're putting me to sleep.
What? I didn't mention anything like that.
Bastard! They have no openings.
Their defense is good.
I guess I've come to acknowledge Kurokocchi's thinking.
I even want to make Kaijo win.
But I don't care what's correct.
I just want to beat you.
I'm not mature enough to play basketball with reason over instinct! Bring it on.
When it comes to physical ability, Kise's not any worse than Aomine.
But I'm still not sure he can beat Aomine's one-on-one.
A pass? What a quick switch! Amazing! He stopped him! It's not over yet.
A formless shot! Seriously? He completely stopped Aomine! Amazing! He stopped Aomine! I'm impressed.
That's the first time I've seen anyone stop Aomine in a one-on-one.
I didn't think you'd actually stop me.
Who do you think played and lost one-on-one to you every day? I know you better than anyone else.
I see.
Aominecchi! Let's play! One more game! One more game! No way! I'm done for today.
What time do you think it is? Damn it Damn, I'm smiling.
He really is strong.
But losing still sucks! It hurts, but I'm having fun.
What is this feeling? Why don't you go a little easier on him? Kise-kun's never played before.
Go easy on him? I can't afford to do that.
Momoi-san Momoi-san Momoi-san What? I'm sorry.
Did you give Aomine-kun Kise-kun's data? I'm sorry.
He refused to accept it.
Then defending may prove a little tricky.
No, we'll be fine.
I gave the data to the other four.
His past data and his future data.
He stopped Aomine, but Touou has another strength.
Momoi's precognitive defense.
What should we do? Should I pass to Kise? Moriyama! We won't fall for that! You're going to fake a pass and go for the drive! They knew? You're wrong! I'm really going for what's coming next.
The turnaround! Into a fadeaway jump! He knew he'd do that, too! You're right, but it doesn't matter! He's fast! You're kidding! I knew it was coming, but I couldn't keep up! He scraped it with his nail.
Rebound! I'll get it this time! Crap, the offense rebounded.
This guy Shut up already! His form is unique.
It's almost strange! His spin is terrible, but his shots still go in! The first quarter is over.
Kaijo Touou Academy Kaijo completely took the first quarter.
Aomine's not holding back again, is he? No, he must be trying.
I can only assume Kise-kun is beating him.
Listen to me, Aomine-kun.
At this rate Shut up, Satsuki.
Kise's gotten stronger.
I'm in trouble.
Good job, everyone! Kise, you're doing good, too! We're not losing to Aomine.
At this rate I don't know about that.
If we won like this, it would be too easy.
Kaijo's in the lead.
Honestly, I'm surprised.
Yeah.
I didn't expect Kise to crush Aomine this badly.
He's definitely gotten stronger.
Can I ask you something? How did you guys beat Kaijo? Um With spirit? Also, while I said Aomine-kun is trying, he tends to get stronger as the game goes on.
If he's going to get any better, it will probably happen soon.
All right! Let's go! Let's do it! Let's get those rebounds! I'm ready to go! Yeah! That guy won't shut up! You're always pretty loud, too.
What? You're actually quite similar.
You're kidding! Anyway, it's no fun watching your opponents celebrate.
Let's take it slow, shall we? I thought they'd play more aggressively from the start, but they're pretty quiet.
There it is! Touou took the first basket of the second quarter! Calm down! Let's get them back! This guy I know you're fast, so I'm not letting you go.
Let me tell you one more thing.
No matter who he's up against, Aomine doesn't lose.
He's the best.
Such pressure! I can feel it all the way up here! Their focus is intense! I don't know what you're planning, but our Kise Planning? We don't have anything like that.
Planning is something small fry like you do.
Put simply, it's a difference in skill.
There are plenty of reasons for it.
For example Agility! He knows what I'm planning? No, he's just fast! You said you know me better than anyone.
Did you not think it could work the other way around? From the left to a crossover on the right! I stopped him! No The other way? And then there's skill.
Seriously? Kise should have had the advantage.
But he forced another play from Kise's changing center of gravity! No foul, Kobori! Basket counts! One free throw! He made the shot! How did that go in? Sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Get ready for the next play.
Kaijo Touou Academy They're tied! Touou quickly closed in on them! This isn't good.
They can't stop Aomine anymore.
He's too strong.
Not even Kise can beat him.
Again? Kaijo must intend to put everything on Kise.
You still don't understand.
Your Kise-kun's good at copying people, but that's it.
It's the biggest reason Kise-kun can't win.
He doesn't have his own weapon.
It's impossible for him to beat Aomine at basketball.
Say, do a lot of people tell you you've got a bad personality? Whoa, now.
That's pretty harsh.
You're the one who doesn't understand.
Copying techniques and making them your own is learning.
In other words, it's growing.
This guy He's copying Kasamatsu this time.
But Too bad! I'm your mark.
Don't assume I'm like that evil glasses guy.
Are you talking about me? So mean! Kaijo High School, time out.
Kaijo Touou Academy They're tied.
But the game's just getting started.
Touou won't be easy to stop once they get going.
But the difference between the two teams isn't much.
Victory will be decided by the difference between their aces.
What will they do? Kuroko? Just like I thought, Aominecchi is amazing.
If we don't prepare ourselves, we're screwed.
Quick turnarounds are their specialty.
Don't match their pace.
Also, the inside Coach.
That thing I mentioned before the game I want you to let me do it.
Preview I want to beat Aominecchi.
Copy me? Even if you manage it, it won't change the results.
I don't want Aominecchi to lose.
The only one who can beat me is me.
I give up on looking up to him.
Don't Get the Wrong Idea
