Tatsuya replies that they shouldn’t because his senpai (Kiyoshi) may get injured again on the slippery court. Momoi gives Kagami a shoe box, with inside the same basketball shoes as Kagami used to wear, but with different colors. Another reason for his sudden peak in ability, is the control of his animal instinct. Midorima leaves Kagami to his thoughts and goes indoors with Takao, instructing Kuroko (who was watching alongside Takao) not to disappoint him in the winter. Kuroko suddenly appears besides him and responds, freaking Kagami the hell out. [102] Kiyoshi immediately challenges him to one-on-one for the starting position. [56], Takao passes to Midorima, but Kagami stops him again. Nevertheless, Riko states they’ll continue like this. Hayama soon passes the ball to Nebuya who scores the basket and again, completely pushing Kiyoshi aside. Kuroko decides to use his Vanishing Drive on Aomine and Kagami helps him by screening Kuroko's guard, Susa. Meanwhile, Kagami has just arrived at the basket and is taunted by Aomine. Back to Seirin's attack, Rakuzan have applied intense pressure of defense on Seirin, and they have decided to double-team Kagami. Kagami then goes up against Himuro again for a Mirage Shot. There they can settle their score. [122] Although Kagami and Murasakibara continue to call each other names, Kiyoshi eventually stops them. Kagami yells that teamwork isn’t enough to win. However, Kagami uses a fake evading them, scoring the basket. They also became the first pupils of Alexandra, after a long time of pursuing her to become their teacher. When playing together they understand each other perfectly, which makes them a "lethal rookie duo." Aomine then said that Kagami's Zone has gone deeper, and Alex is impressed of the "wildness" of Kagami's Zone, resembling a beast. Kagami's physique is average. Kagami is a very powerful and fast player that is able to execute the fast cuts that can foil even Aomine and Kise. He tells that he's sorry about what happened to America and he wants them to become brothers again. Because of Kuroko's absence, he was able to unleash his true power and he slams the ball away.[140]. Kagami asks them what they are doing her. [32], While Seirin is warming up before the game with Seiho, Midorima and Kagami stare at each other across the court. Kasamatsu asks Takao if he’s okay with that since Seirin is celebrating right now. Kuroko replies that it’s nothing like that at all. The quarter ends with a score of 29 -17 still in favor of Yōsen. The score is now 23 - 30 in favor of Rakuzan. Akashi leaves and Kagami is shocked.[151]. [104], After Kuroko speaks to Hyuuga (who tells him that Kagami believes in him; that’s why he’s training so hard so he wouldn’t have to be a burden on Kuroko), Kuroko rushes over to speak to Kagami. He tells Kuroko that he hopes Kuroko won’t be disappointed. Kagami feels that he can finally defeat Aomine in aerial combat. In the city, Kagami is having trouble finding good shoes because of his large size. [100], In Seirin’s locker room, Riko tells the team not to give up since they have more games to play. Kise congratulates Seirin after the game saying how surprised he was to lose to them a second time. Just when he was about to score, Mitobe blocks him, stopping him from scoring. Takao says that they lost their senpais while Shin-chan was crying, annoying Midorima. Aomine pulls it back just in time and passes Kagami. Everyone acknowledges Shutoku’s and Midorima’s strength, even Kagami. However, Murasakibara states he didn’t play because “Aka-chin” asked him not to. Kagami sweatdrops. Recognizing one of the other team’s players, Kagami cries out, asking what “he” is doing here. he notices that Mayuzumi is free and decides to pass it to him. After 98 games, Himuro tells Kagami that if he loses the next game, he won't see Kagami as his little brother anymore, because the big brother is always stronger than the little brother. He yells out his name, class and shouts that he will defeat the Generation of Miracles and become the number one in Japan. He has navy blue hair that is quite short. Kagami accepts them. His style of basketball is just like Kagami’s. Seirin won’t be able to score that easily. As they’re leaving, he notices a huge player wearing the Yosen uniform (Murasakibara) and wonders who he is. A few weeks later, Seirin continue their practices for future matches so they are not left behind by the rest of the teams who are training as well. The best sports anime are about more than just the sport itself. The ball flies towards the goal, bounces off the board, circles around in the ring and flies out. As the match starts, Seirin has the ball and they use a screen to let Hyūga get the ball and shoot a three-pointer. When he’s about to take a shot, Hyuuga yells at him to stop, but it’s too late. Kuroko then tells his new teammates about his past. Appears in Kuroko's Basketball (Series) Kuroko no Basuke 黒子のバスケ くろこのバスケ by By observing Hayama, Kuroko noticed that Hayama's dribbling hand is under a large amount of stress and that when he turns there's a moment of rigidity. Then, Kuroko forces Murasakibara to commit an offensive foul sending him sprawling to the floor. He is immediatly guarded by Narumi, but that is useless, as Kagami jumps from the freethrow line and dunks the ball. Surprised, Midorima looks at Kagami; he explains that he did that so Midorima wouldn’t make up some excuse about being unable to remember his name. All the boys accuse Kagami of making her cry. Moreover, the second time he entered, he is able to stay in it, pressuring Akashi with his large sphere of defense due to entering it at a "deeper" level. As the match resumes, Kagami passes Hayama who was guarding him and advances to the basket, where Mibuchi and Nebuya were guarding. The score is Seirin 27; Shutoku has 45. But Seirin weren’t shaken as Kiyoshi quickly throws a pass to Izuki to counter. Kagami is seen in the locker room before the match against Tōō Academy. Before the match Riko had Mitobe teach Kagami how to defend against a player taller than yourself. Kagami says that he knows he’s just like them, but Kuroko interrupts that he’s not—he really loves basketball from his heart, and he respects and admires his open love for the game. Still, Kagami is determined not to give up and counters quickly. Kiyoshi insists that he’s doing this more to make Kuroko realize something rather than let Kagami learn the importance of teamwork which he feels he already knows. Kagami wears Michael Jordan's signature shoe, the Nike Air Jordan I. The reason why Kagami is able to keep up with Aomine's top speed is because he is only relying on his animal, raw instinct. Kuroko answers that he’ll defeat Tsugawa in Kagami’s place. The next morning, Kagami is practicing on his own at a street ball court and is thinking about the Generation of Miracles and how strong they really are. However, Aomine states this isn’t enough for Kuroko’s basketball to win. Kagami bluntly calls him soft and says to get started already, grinning. Terms Happy Birthday Kagami Taiga! Just when Seirin is going to register, they meet Seiho’s players. Seirin is still fired up and the ball ends up with Kuroko who pulls up for his Phantom Shot. He acknowledges his strength, but he states that Kagami won’t be able to stop him anymore. An enraged Aomine later confronted her about it. Hitting Koganei, she states there’s no way they can slack off and think it’s okay to lose a game. However, it seems like Kagami is floating because he was still able to block the second one shocking Himuro who can’t help but think that he’s like a bird. Kagami, however, looks like he’s ready to kill someone. However, Kagami blocks Oostubo, so Hyuuga can score a three again.
