Hello people, this is retardedinpajamas, back for a Fangirl Mania article! :D
Okay, for today’s agenda. Let’s talk about the Seirin vs Touou match. Yes, let us fangirl about that epic battle of basketball.
It’s one of my favorite games since it’s really spine-tingling and got me almost out of my seat while I was reading the manga. At first, when I first found out that Touou was Seirin’s match up in Round 1, I was really like “Oh of all schools, why Touou?! You’re fucked Seirin”. You can’t blame me; even I was defaced when Touou doubled Seirin’s score during the Inter High ;n;
But when it came to the Winter Cup training arc, I started to get excited on the improvement on each player in Seirin. Like Kagetora had said, by the time their training ends, the second-years would have their own weapon. I was really cited to see the result of their training! You know since Seirin was always been look down by other schools and getting underestimated. But then, whenever Seirin High wins, we fans be like – “In your face you fucking losers! :D” – well that goes to only one school…
*whispers* Kirisaki Dai Ichi… Fuck you, Makoto…
Anyways, eventually, Winter Cup commenced after a month of training. And there, round 1 happens… SEIRIN VS TOUOU!
Dem, I gotta say, getting that match animated made me star-struck. Just by the start of the match, we can really see that Touou wouldn’t back down to Seirin and went on full power to attack. That Sakurai-Aomine alley-oop was a great way to get the first point! And for the record, Aomine really looked hot when he dunked *squeals*
And there we see the new improved version of Ignite Pass Kai! I think we all feel the frustration and stress when Aomine stopped that moved. It’s like all of baby Kuroko’s efforts were wasted just because a single player, and that happens to be Kuroko’s former partner, stops his new technique and told him it was a useless effort… AOMINE PLS. YOU LOST ANYWAY.
After that, the KagaKuro emerged. Who else fangirled when Kagami patted Kuroko’s head? I bet most of us saved a picture of that moment >w<
So that’s when Kagami started to unleash his true power/potential and we were all dying to see the zone moment but first, there’s Hyuga and Sakurai shooting showdown…
Misdirection overflow… FUCKING SHIT MISDIRECTION WON’T WORK ON TOUOU AGAIN D:
And Imayoshi opening his eyes several times…
BUT THE ZONE! THE ZONE BATTLES WERE FUCKING EPIC AS HELL. I’M FORGETTING OTHER STUFF FROM THE MATCH BECAUSE THE ZONE TO ZONE BATTLE WAS JUST UGH – HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS?
Aomine’s speed, Kagami’s jumps, and how the two go head to head, completely ignoring their other teammates. Their concentration is hard to break, and prove to us that they really deserved the titles ACE! :D
While reading the final moments of the match in the manga, I really lost hope and thought Seirin would lose but then our hero Kuroko shows up and turn the tables! AND THERE, VICTORY FOR SEIRIN!!!!
Oh, don’t forget that Kuroko x Aomine fist bump ;u; I ship them only as a bromance though. I only ship Kuroko to Kagami, sarreh. ~~
And let me mention the cute scene where our 5 super-players are asleep in the locker rooms looking all cozy and adorable <3
That is all :D
