「もらっとくわ」 (Morattokuwa)
“I’ll Take This For Now”

And here I thought that we’d get to see Seirin finally play some basketball.

Aomine, The Friendly Giant

While he may not be the biggest of the Generation of Miracles, Aomine has definitely grown on me. His overwhelmingly cocky attitude from season one has all but disappeared and in its place appears one of the manliest tsunderes I’ve ever seen. As hard as he might try, he just can’t hide how much he cares about all the people around him. From Momoi to Kagami, he gives where he can even if he doesn’t want to. I mean, how could you not smile a bit when he and Kagami shared a bit of a bro moment?

Shutoku vs Rakuzan

Even though I would have loved to see Seirin play, it was a nice change of pace to see Midorima and Takako back on the court. The pair probably have the most unique style of play and today’s match didn’t waste any time getting straight into the thick of things. If I had one complaint though, it would have to be how the matches not involving Seirin don’t seem to build up as much tension. Sure there’s two teams playing to keep their spot in the Winter Cup but the lack of an intense and drawn out match is starting to grow old. I say that because what really sucks is the feeling that Akashi and his team are going to do something absolutely ridiculous to steal the win from Shutoku. The teams seem fairly matched right now but with Midorima already busting out his trademark move and Akashi barely lifting a finger the pace could shift at any second.

Looking Ahead

It seems like next week’s episode is going to intense! Judging from the preview and foreshadowing we got right before the match started, it looks like Akashi is going to bust out something crazy. Whether it be his trump card or his ability to command his team, it has to be something really impressive to get Kagami to look like this. Either ways, I hope we get some more back story on him than just he’s a good shogi player and seems rather heartless.

‘Till Next Week!

    I hope the paramedics have a bunch of crutches on standby because Shutoku is gonna need it next episode.

      Alex is the best.

        Sorry, but Momoi is the best….

        with Kuroko =03

        @frubam

        I agree, actually. And the best pairing is Alex x Momo. For reasons.

    • Hitler-kun
      February 1, 2015,

      Kagami has probably seen Alex naked several times by now. He should already be used to it.

      • esdesu
        February 1, 2015,

        Isn’t Alex like an older sister or a mother figure to him? I don’t think he’d ever get used or comfortable seeing her naked.

      • Trap Sama
        February 1, 2015,

        Kagami likes older women.
        I’m disappointed at the lack of Kagami x Alex hentai doujins. I checked.

    • Sean

      Alex’s boobs are huge!

        ..and cut to a shot of a pair of sunny side eggs…

        They couldn’t show Alex’s titties, so they show a pair of sunny side up eggs as a substitute. smh

      Waking up to a hot chick, and the first thing he does is throw some clothes at her. Wow.

      This joke has been recycled millions of times. How lame.

    Shoes brand name: More Higher. Nike’s got nothing on this stellar brand.

    • esdesu
      February 1, 2015,

      I don’t think even Nike shoes are able to hold up after the intense wear and tear of the ”Zone” games. More Higher for the win!

    Both main guys broke their shoes… Wow. And how does Momoi know Kagami’s shoe size?

    • Trap Sama
      February 1, 2015,

      Kagami has big feet, guys. You know what they say about guys with big feet, they have big d–ks as well. 😉

    Akashi: I win in everything and everything I say is correct.
    Manga version: I, who wins everything, am always right.

    God Akashi’s badassness has begun! Satan with Scissors is finally in the game!

    Behind Aomine’s rough exterior is a kind heart. He is helping out his new friend.

      “Akashi: I win in everything and everything I say is correct.”

      The epitome of small man syndrome. XD

      • Aschente
        February 1, 2015,

        I haven’t read the manga but I heard he has a good backstory as to how he became this way. I’m really looking forward to seeing that in the anime.

    • dfp396
      February 1, 2015,

      How nice. BAKAgami and AHOmine are now friends. Can’t wait to see Akashi use his eye thing next week.

    • sherrislok

      What a perfectionist!

  6. WarriorsHeart

    That magenta colour really sticks out from the screen caps. And Kagami should really understand when someone’s doing him a favour.

    • CriticOne
      February 1, 2015,

      Technically, Akashi’s hair colour in the manga should be the same as Kagami’s, but they can’t have a clash of colours, so Akashi’s is moderated slightly. Yes, it’s bright.

    • chibi-killua
      February 1, 2015,

      First Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail), then Akashi. I guess pink hair can look badass too.

    • turf

      I heard Akashi is the most overpowered Generation of Miracles. Can’t wait to see what he has in store for us.

    • Reece
      February 3, 2015,

      Surprising i thought that Akashi was the cocky type but he seems like a team player.

    Shuutoku vs. Rakuzan has finally begun! Time to see what Akash is made of.

    • Reece
      February 3, 2015,

      I’ve been waiting since season 1 for Akashi to play. That’s about 2 years of waiting. Finally, he is here!

    While I felt like the humor improved in this season, I’m kind of disappointed with the action. It feels like a lot of talking, a few seconds for special moves,flashbacks, and more talking. The games feel incredibly static. So far none of these non-Seirin matches have been on the same level as Kise vs. Aomine. Were they glossed over this fast in the manga? Hopefully the second quarter of this game will be much more interesting.

    • CriticOne
      February 1, 2015,

      Well, in the manga none of the other non-Seirin matches were as long as the Kaijou vs Touou match and most of the actions are reserved for the Seirin matches. You’ll be disappointed if you’re not a Seirin supporter.

    Is that a slight nipple I see! O__o

    • Slaine the Best Shooter (Captain of the Kuroko hype train)

      What nipple? Your eyes are on hentai-level bec I see nothing. 🙂

      • Brian
        February 1, 2015,

        I think he meant areola, not nipple.

      • Hitler-kun
        February 1, 2015,

        He has Takao’s Hawk Eye.

    • kaye
      February 1, 2015,

      What is it with you guys and nipples? First in the Parasyte post, now this. It’s just nipple… N.I.P.P.L.E.

    • barry
      February 1, 2015,

      Actually, Kagami’s english is fine. Sure he has an accent but it’s coherent and understandable. I’ve met a lot of Europeans who sound worse than him. Just sayin.

    Rakuzan vs Shuutoku! I love each time we get to see the GoM in action.

    • Aschente
      February 1, 2015,

      No wonder he sounded familiar. I’ll never forget: PPPetra

    • areej

      Akashi has one hell of a dominating stare!

      • Glutton
        February 2, 2015,

        It’s the killer stare.

  17. rael

    I really want Shutoku to win because I like Midorima but let’s be realistic, we all know how this game is going to end. ='(

  18. faye

    Akashi seems like an interesting character. I am curious about this eye ability of his. I hope we get to see it next episode.

    • Heike
      February 3, 2015,

      Akashi’s eye is gonna make you wonder whether he or Aomine would win in a match. It’s just that badass.

    Anyone notice there was a mysterious guy with white hair who’s face was always hidden? Anyway, I feel like he’s an important member of Rakuzan.

    • WarriorsHeart
      February 1, 2015,

      There’s a profound reason why he is hidden and you would find out if this season ever gets to that point.

    • Miyuki
      February 1, 2015,

      That mysterious guy is the one I want to see the most this season… <3

    • WarriorsHeart

      A short person wouldn’t understand a tall person’s dilemma.

    • Glutton
      February 2, 2015,

      Akashi likes to exert his authority over everyone. He likes making people feel smaller than he is.

      • cj
        February 2, 2015,

        An amazing feat for sure bec Akashi is smaller than most players. He’s almost as short as Kuroko.

  23. 28paws

    Why no love for Midorima? It would be great to see him enter the zone.

    • Trap Sama
      February 1, 2015,

      Because it’s obvious he’s gonna get rekt. We don’t cheer for someone about to die. RIP in pieces Midorima.

      I can eat more than this guy in a day.

  25. Cusack

    Going for Rakuzan cuz they most likely will win, and also because Akashi is awesome.
