Kuroko no Basuke [Manga]

I saw something along the lines of 40+ - 81 in the semi-final of the tournament while the miracles were in their second year. Which would imply that the match with Kiyoshi's team happened even before the tournament (look at the colour of their shirts, for example). And right from the time Aomine awakened he had had no problems whatsoever with winning by margins of almost 100 while playing with a second-string team. The match in question could be a friendly match with Aomine and Murasakibara as among the first-stringers to help guarantee victory.

As I said before even before the rest of the GOM awakened they already overshadowed the UGs, which implied that they were still much stronger than the UGs prior to their awakening. So a one-sided match involving Aomine is still possible.


On a side note, in case anyone didn't catch what I posted earlier, all talk of Akashi intentionally sabotaging Kuroko's growth has been thrown out the window; chapter 222 implied that any sabotage was actually unintentional on Akashi's part. Refer to earlier posts as to why I say so.

Anyone think Seirin will upset Rakuzan in the final? And if so, how? Will Kuroko gain something similar to the skills Akashi has? Since both of them have good basketball instincts and good reflexes and all.

I'll cover the (un)realism of KnB's basketball in a later post.

Kuroko has those dead eyes. Things aren't looking good. Momoi crying at the realization of how different things really are was sad. Making her cry was not cool. Oh. And Kagami appears. I knew the two had to have crossed paths at least once during their middle school days.

Things seemed dead so I thought I bring it back to life

for anyone who is interested Gintama made a parody of Kuroko no Basket,(in the manga) and it was ssoooo daaamn funny

Is it the latest chapter? I only watch Gintama anime, but for this, I will read


Meh, knowing the author will want to keep his Fujoshi fans, there's no chance Momoi will hook up with Kuroko.

I thought Kagami returned from America only during the first year of high school? Or did I remember wrong?

(EDIT: Yeah, I did remember wrongly.)

Also I don't fault him for saying he forgot what she had said since I also forgot. :X What did she say?

There's no place for actual romance in this manga anyway.

[midnightlostchild]

in this chapter, did they seriously win 1510:12? or it just 151:12 (if this is the case, can someone tell me what the 0 between is about?)

[Awrya]

There're not enough time to score 1510 points in 40 minutes.
It's supposed to be 151 - 12, the 0 shows the quarter number 1, 2, 3 or 4, the 0 shows the game is over.
The author tried to give the 0 a slightly different colour.

[iamadooddood]

New chapter.

Now the GOM are competing with one another to see who can score the most. Why couldn't they give themselves a self-imposed challlenge to see whether they could pull off shutout wins...

Just when you think people isn't calling this series anymore of a rehash of Slam Dunk, the author pulls an elbow to the face. It's like the author WANTS someone to mail him a letter bomb.

What happened? All I know that's happened this chapter is for Kuroko's team to breeze through the way to the final (his friend's team barely made it with a buzzer beater). In the semis Kuroko went against those twins from last year. The key players were rested and yet Teiko still breezed through. Frustrated, one of the twins injures Kuroko. Then Kuroko's friend goes to visit him, and encounters Akashi.

... Nope, nothing to convince me that there's anything that warrants another letter bomb. And even if this series is a rehash of Slam Dunk, it still doesn't warrant a letter bomb.

[iamadooddood]

Bump.

Really sux that WSJ is taking a one week break. Can't even talk much about KnB. Oh well.

I'm speculating that Rakuzan's unnamed power forward is Ogiwara, Kuroko's friend who taught him basketball. Any thoughts on this?

Also, the wikia doesn't regard Kuroko to be a member of the Generation of Miracles. The manga is also giving somewhat mixed signals... Has anyone asked the mangaka whether he is or not?

Kuroko said in 204 that Ogiwara quit basketball, unless he had a change of heart and started using hair colouring products. Even so, I think Kuroko would have recognized him during the Rakuzan vs Shūtoku game and would call out to him.

Generation of Miracles members are the best in their respective positions and are the type of players you'd build your team around. Each also has absolute talent and can dominate their opponents on both defence and offence, which you can't say about Kuroko.

Rakuzan's coach has the same surname as the (former) head coach in Teikou, Shirogane, the one in Rakuzan is probably the younger brother. The older taught the strongest middle school team, the younger the strongest high school team. Looks like it runs in the family.

about kuroku they said at the beginning that he was the 6th shadow member. So he is a member of the Generation of Miracles and is simply just not the starting 5.

Then Nijimura? (Actually Akashi telling whoever it was to disguise himself so Kuroko won't recognise him is very much plausible. Also dyeing of hair has already occurred at least twice in the series, and it would serve as a nice plot twist.) Either way I get a very strong feeling that Rakuzan's power forward is very important to the plot. I just hope he isn't a red herring.

Because hardly anyone outside of the main 5 even know about Kuroko, much less bother whether he counts as one of the Miracles, so that's how they usually generalise the Miracles. Also his playing style is completely unique so it can't be classified as easily.

Well I do remember that Kuroko was supposed to get an interview like the rest but he was forgotten. The manga itself flip flops on the topic. Maybe the only confirmation we can get is from the mangaka.

I don't think that wiki is official, so i wouldn't worry too much about it.

That wiki isn't the only place where you find people claiming that Kuroko isn't a member of the Generation of Miracles. In fact, the majority of people who claim so outside of the wiki quote from the wiki itself.

[omimon]

Wow I gotta hand it to the author for the last part of the chapter, that was superb dick move by the Generation of Miracles.

[iamadooddood]

That was some really warped final. No wonder he hated basketball at that time.

I'm starting to look forward to the Seirin-Rakuzan final.

[frivolity]

Oh wow, just when I thought Teikou couldn't do anything more disrespectful, they go and do something like this...

Spoiler:

AND TOTALLY REDEEMED THEMSELVES!!

Whoever thought of winning that way is brilliant!

[Kon the Magnificent]

Damn Kuroko you made the feels this chapter too strong!

I don't know what else to say other than damn. The generation of miracles are a bunch of spirit crushing asses. Next chapter should be a real treat
