Real life has been at me like a narutard on a new chapter for these last two months. I'm not going to use it as an excuse, though, I could have found the time to translate the Kuroko chapters somehow, but the thing is, I wasn't at all motivated, and just don't feel like translating anything right now.<br /><br />So yeah, that's the bad news, I am officially taking an indefinite break from translating. I can't say for how long, but I doubt I'll get anything done until the end of the year, at least. When I was still just a fan, it always did hurt when I saw a series being dropped because of a lack of translator, but now that I'm in the position of the translator, I can say it hurts even more -_- I can only hope you guys will manage to find another translator for it.<br /><br />So yeah, I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am, but it's here that I'm taking my leave. Thanks to you all for reading all these translations of mine. I'm pretty sure we will meet again someday~<br /><br />Xophien Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:46:13 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/15293 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/13616 If Kuroko lasts for 300+ chapters, like ES21, won't Fujimaki run out of titles for his chapters? &gt;.&gt;<br /><br />Enjoy~<br /><br /><strong>Kuroko chapter 27</strong><br /><br />Page 01<br /><br />Right : If it's taken, take it back!! The Generation of Miracles is unyielding!!<br />27th Quarter : He's a veteran.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : …......<br /><br />Kasuga : What the hell... Was that Ichirou's laser beam!? It's basketball, right!?<br />(Translation note : for Suzuki Ichirou, most famous Japanese baseball player ever)<br /><br />Ootsubo : What in the world...<br /><br />Takao : he had a pass like that too!?<br /><br />Hyuuga :It's the first time I see it too...<br />Hyuuga : but thanks to this, the flow of the game hasn't changed yet...<br />Hyuuga : We can still go...<br /><br />Page 02<br /><br />Kuroko : The match<br />Kagami : only starts from now!<br /><br />Midorima : … Ffn.<br /><br />Someone : Midorima has the ball!!<br />Someone : Will he shoot again his super-high three pointer!!?<br /><br />Page 03<br /><br />Kise : …!?<br />Kise : It doesn't happen often...<br />Kise : Midorimacchi not shooting because he has a probability of missing...<br />Kise : But wasn't it a nice occasion there...!?<br /><br />Nakatani : I see...<br />Nakatani : Hmmmm... Hm... Ffn...<br /><br />Nakatani : Eeeeeh...<br />Nakatani : It was already surprising that his lack of presence could make you lose sight of him,<br />Nakatani : but he even has that kind of pass...<br />Shuutoku High School Coach<br />Nakatani Masaaki<br /><br />Nakatani : But it's a problem, really...<br />Nakatani : To think there was that way to seal Midorima... Hmm...<br />Nakatani : Hm, what should we do...<br /><br />Kise : Midorimacchi<br />Kise : is sealed?<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Yeah.<br />Kasamatsu : Because of the super long range pass<br />Kasamatsu : of the transparent guy.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Midorima uses the long time his shot spends flying to go back in defense.<br />Kasamatsu : It has the merit of defending against counterattacks.<br />Kasamatsu : But it's not like all the team is falling back.<br />Kasamatsu : They're all staying behind, just in case it misses and they need to get the rebound.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : The time it spends flying backfires in that case.<br />Kasamatsu : Because if Midorima has the time to get back, Kagami has the time to run too.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : With the speed of that attack, the counterattack will just get through Midorima.<br />Kasamatsu : That why he didn't shoot.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : But still, thinking of that pass and finding the proper timing...<br />Kasamatsu : And the nerves to make it succeed on the first try...<br />Kasamatsu : It made me realize it again.<br /><br />Page 05<br /><br />Kasamatsu : That guy may look like that, but he was still in Teikou with you.<br />Kasamatsu : He's a veteran.<br /><br />Takao : My, my...<br />Takao : It'd be a problem if you thought you could stop us with something like that.<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Izuki : !!<br />Izuki : Fast!!<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />Someone : Ooooh!<br />Someone : Nice shot!<br />Someone : Awesome pass!!<br />Board : Seirin – Shuutoku<br /><br />Izuki : It can't be... This guy has it too!?<br /><br />Page 08<br /><br />Someone : Oooh, they scored back immediately!!<br />Someone : I don't get Seirin's passes at all!! But they're awesome!!<br /><br />Nakatani : Yeah...<br />Nakatani : Hmm...<br />Nakatani : We should do <em>this</em> after all.<br /><br />Page 09<br /><br />Nakatani : … All right.<br />Nakatani : hey, Takao, Kimura!<br />Nakatani : Switch marks.<br /><br />Nakatani : Takao,<br />Nakatani : Take care of the number 11.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Marking Kuroko...?<br /><br />Guy : It's the same thing no matter who, right?<br />Guy : Since his presence is so faint you can lose sight of him.<br /><br />Riko : What are they planning...?<br />Riko : Going for such a direct way...<br />Riko : They've got the same roles in Seirin and Shuutoku...<br />Riko : The key to the match lies in this fight.<br />Riko : … That means...<br /><br />Takao : Like expected, I thought it'd end like this.<br />Takao : Well, like Shin-chan would put it,<br />Takao : It was fate.<br /><br />Page 10<br /><br />Takao : That I faced you<br />Takao : And that Shin-chan would face Kagami.<br /><br />Page 11<br /><br />Kagami : What's the point?<br />Kagami : No matter how fast Takao is,<br />Kagami : it doesn't matter for Kuroko.<br /><br />Midorima : I'm fully aware of Kuroko's strength.<br />Midorima : … You'll understand immediately.<br /><br />Takao : I didn't expect to settle it with you this quickly, though.<br />Takao : I've been thinking ever since I met you,<br /><br />Takao : You and I are from the same species.<br /><br />Takao : We're both freshmen, right?<br />Takao : Passing the ball is our style, or should I say, our role as players.<br />Takao : That's why... What was it called again? That... Hatred for the same kind?<br /><br />Page 12<br /><br />Takao : I don't want to lose against you!<br />Takao : Kinda.<br /><br />Takao : Well, it's the first time I ever feel something like that, though.<br />Takao : Maybe because... you're probably different from the others?<br /><br />Kuroko : Sorry, it is the first time I have been told that.<br />Kuroko : I am at a loss about what to say...<br />Takao : Eeeeh...<br /><br />Kuroko : … But<br />Kuroko : I might feel a similar thing<br />Kuroko : as well.<br /><br />Takao : Nice, seems like you're well motivated.<br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />Takao : … wait.<br />Takao : Nghaaa!!?<br /><br />Takao : Wait a second!!<br />Takao : Disappearing all of a sudden like that, don't you have any manners!!<br /><br />Someone : Hyuuga is free!! Go!!<br /><br />Midorima : Too bad, Kuroko.<br /><br />Takao : Just kidding ♥ <br /><br />Page 14-15 (spread)<br /><br />Kagami : … What the hell!!?<br /><br />Hyuuga : Kuroko's pass...!?<br /><br />Riko : It failed!?<br /><br />Hyuuga : It's the first time I see this guy make a mistake...<br />Izuki : No, it probably wasn't a mistake...<br />Izuki : That guy has it too.<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Izuki : The same as my Eagle's Eye... No.<br />Izuki : His field of vision must be even wider.<br />Izuki : It's the Hawk's Eye.<br />Note under the panel : the ability to switch perspective in your mind in order to see the whole court.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Wha...!!<br /><br />Izuki : Kuroko uses the misdirection<br />Izuki : to divert your eyes when you're looking at him.<br /><br />Izuki : but with an ability to see everything like the Hawk's Eye,<br />Izuki : you never look <em>only</em> at Kuroko.<br /><br />Izuki : In other words, against Takao,<br />Izuki : Kuroko's misdirection won't work.<br /><br />Page 17<br /><br />Someone : Seirin<br />Someone : Timeout!<br />Board : Seirin – Shuutoku<br /><br />Hyuuga : To think Kuroko could be stopped...<br /><br />Riko : I never thought he could have a natural enemy like that...<br />Riko : We're definitely... in a pinch.<br /><br />Takao : My, my, the guys from Seirin seem embarrassed...<br />Midorima : Don't lose your focus.<br />Midorima : That guy won't be taken down with just that.<br /><br />Takao : It's alright, really! If you take away his invisibility, he's just a small fry, right?<br />Midorima : … Do you know why I can't stand Kuroko?<br />Takao : ?<br /><br />Page 18<br /><br />Midorima : That's because<br />Midorima : … I acknowledge him.<br /><br />Midorima : He doesn't have a single great physical ability,<br />Midorima : and he can't do a single thing on his own.<br />Midorima : Despite that, he still wore the uniform of Teikou like me,<br />Midorima : And helped leading the team to victory.<br /><br />Midorima : This guy's strength is completely different from the rest of us.<br />Midorima : It belongs in a different world.<br /><br />Midorima : That's why I can't stand it.<br />Midorima : I can't stand that a man I acknowledged went to bury himself in a team that can't make use of his strength.<br />Bottom : Next issue, Kagami reveals his super play!! And Midorima's true power...!?<br /><br />Midorima : That's why there is no way I can lose.<br />Midorima : I'll start playing seriously after this timeout.<br /><br />Page 19<br /><br />Kagami : Coach.<br />Kagami : Let's keep up just like this... please.<br /><br />Kagami : Hey, it can't be<br />Kagami : that you're going to let him stop you like that, right?<br /><br />Kuroko : Well... I guess I would not like that.<br /><br />Kagami : … Ha!<br />Kagami : Then I'm leaving Takao to you.<br /><br />Kagami : Maybe I should give them my regards too.<br />Kagami : I've got some new stuff to present to them, after all.<br /><br />Left : A clash of techniques and fighting spirit!!<br />Midorima : I'll have them come to their senses<br />Midorima : With this new strength of mine, that even Kuroko doesn't know about.<br /> Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:45:05 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/13616 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/13479 Japan~ Japan~ Japaaaan~ I'll be in Japan for a month in October~ Finally~ Ten years, ten years I've spent dreaming of going there~ Yay~ YAAAAAY~<br /><br />Enjoy~<br /><br /><strong>Kuroko chapter 26</strong><br /><br />Page 01<br /><br />Right : With the final league at stake, the Generation of Miracles enters the stage!!<br /><br />Takao : Hm? Is it all right to only greet Kuroko-kun?<br />Takao : What about Kagami...<br />Midorima : It's unnecessary.<br /><br />Midorima : I have nothing to talk about with someone who played so pitifully his last match.<br />Midorima : If he has something to say, then he should express it with his plays, not words.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Kagami!<br /><br />Kagami : I agree...<br />Kagami : When I remember it, I can't help but being mad at myself.<br />Kagami : Frustration keeps piling up.<br />Kagami : So... Let's play already.<br /><br />Page 02<br /><br />Kagami : I've been piling it up to turn all of it into fighting spirit, in order to defeat you bastard.<br />Kagami : I just can't hold back any longer.<br /><br />Midorima : … What did you say?<br /><br />Midorima : Do what you want.<br />Midorima : … If you can, that is.<br /><br />Page 03<br /><br />Right : If they lose here, everything is over... Let the final of the A block begin!!<br />26th Quarter : It would be a problem.<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Someone : Seirin got the ball first!!<br /><br />Izuki : Mh...<br />Izuki : They're really fast...!!<br />Izuki : We were planning to quickly score once at the beginning, but...<br /><br />Page 05<br /><br />Guy : Waah... There's no opening...<br />Guy : Score the first one!!<br />Guy : But be careful!!<br /><br />Riko : We can't!<br />Riko : If you take it easy against a stronger opponent, it will only be like giving him the initiative!<br />Riko : We have to get the first quarter first! And for that sake...<br /><br />Riko : As a greeting,<br />Riko : go for a storm attack!!<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Nothing.<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />Ootsubo : Wha...<br />Ootsubo : That's...<br /><br />Kise : The same as when they played against me...<br />Kise : An alley-oop...!!!<br /><br />Guy : Yes, we're the first to score...!!<br /><br />Someone : Go!!<br /><br />Page 08<br /><br />Nothing.<br /><br />Page 09<br /><br />Midorima : Jeez... how disappointing.<br />Midorima : Did you really expect something of that level would work?<br /><br />Iwamura : Impossible...<br /><br />Riko : Is it even possible to block that...!?<br /><br />Someone : Woooh!!<br />Someone : The alley-hoop!?

Is he really going to shoot a three-pointer in this situation!?<br /><br />Someone : Midorima...!!<br /><br />Page 14<br /><br />Kuroko : Please start running.<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Someone : Whaaa, here comes a three-pointer!!<br />Someone : What a shot!!<br />Someone : The first points...<br />Someone : Are for Shuutoku!!!<br /><br />Board : Seirin – Shuutoku<br /><br />Hyuuga : Damn it...<br /><br />Riko : …...!<br /><br />Kise : They've broken the balance!<br />Kasamatsu : With this, the flow of the quarter is for Shuutoku...!!<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Nothing.<br /><br />Page 17<br /><br />Midorima : What!?<br /><br />Page 18-19 (spread)<br /><br />Bottom : Next issue, the overwhelming strength of Shuutoku is assaulting Seirin's defense...!!<br /><br />Someone : They scored back in an instant!!?<br />Someone : But what the hell was that, just now...!?<br />Someone : The ball went all the way from one end of the court to the other!!?<br /><br />Midorima : Kuroko...!!<br /><br />Kuroko : Sorry.<br />Kuroko : But if we let you get the first quarter so easily,<br />Kuroko : it would be a problem.

Or at least I'll try^^;<br /><br />Enjoy~<br /><br /><strong>Kuroko chapter 25</strong><br /><br />Page 01<br /><br />Left : They overcame their fate... Seirin wins!!<br />25th Quarter : Well then...<br /><br />Guy : We lost...<br /><br />Tsugawa : Wha...<br /><br />Tsugawa : Why!!<br /><br />Page 02<br /><br />Tsugawa : Seirin is a team that was just created last year, right!?<br />Tsugawa : We definitely practiced a lot too!<br />Tsugawa : And last year you weren't a match for our team at all!<br />Tsugawa : We should definitely be the strongest...<br /><br />Iwamura : Enough, Tsugawa.<br />Tsugawa : But...<br /><br />Iwamura : It's not that the strongest is the team that wins,<br />Iwamura : The team that wins is the strongest.<br /><br />Kasuga : Yup, that's it~<br />Kasuga : Come on, let's line up~<br /><br />Page 03<br /><br />Iwamura : Those guys were stronger.<br />Iwamura : Only that.<br /><br />Tsugawa : … Tell me your name!<br />Kuroko : Eh?<br />Tsugawa : Your name!<br />Kuroko : … Kuroko Tetsuya.<br /><br />Tsugawa : … I'll remember you!<br /><br />Someone : Seirin high wins 73 to 71!!<br />Seihou : Thank you very much!!<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Riko : Awesome, everyone... Congratulations...<br />Riko : Damn, the tears are welling up...<br />Riko : I can't cry, there's still a match after that!<br /><br />Hyuuga: Pull yourself together, coach.<br />Hyuuga : It's still too early for crying.<br /><br />Hyuuga : The tears of joy will be<br />Hyuuga : for when we win the next battle.<br /><br />Page 05<br /><br />Someone : They're strong...<br />Someone : To that extent...<br />Board : Shuutoku – Kanemi<br />Someone : Even though the opponent was a team that still made it to the best 8...<br /><br />Takao : We still have a break, now...<br /><br />Takao : But... Aren't you glad?<br />Takao : Seirin made it this far.<br /><br />Midorima : You could have tell that just by looking.<br />Midorima (small text) : Are you making fun of me?<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Kise : Seems like it's over on Shuutoku's side.<br />Kasamatsu : So the final is Shuutoku against Seirin, huh?<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Still, 2 matches in the same day is too crazy...<br />Kasamatsu : It's stupidly hard.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : … But<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Whether they laugh or cry in the end, in three hours...<br />Kasamatsu : We'll know who will be qualified for the final league...!!<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />Riko : Put on your jackets so that your bodies don't cool off!<br />Riko : And be careful when stretching!<br /><br />Riko : Here's some amino acid for the fatigue!<br />Riko : And don't forget your energy supplements!<br /><br />Riko : I'll be massaging your legs so remove your shoes!<br /><br />Riko : How do you feel?<br />Hyuuga : Thanks.<br />Hyuuga : Well... I would lie if I said I wasn't tired, but...<br />Hyuuga : I guess I'll be able to run until the end of the next match with that.<br /><br />Koganei : Hm? Where's Kagami?<br />Izuki : Ah...<br /><br />Page 08<br /><br />Riko : Wha! Hey, Kagami!!<br />Riko : If you sleep your body will be all stiff!<br />Hyuuga : Haa... Leave him be.<br /><br />Izuki : He was unusually feeling down after the match.<br /><br />Koganei : Because he was benched for his 4 fouls, right?<br />Koganei : Even though he shouldn't mind that...<br />Tsuchida : You being replaced at the end was outside our predictions, though, Koga.<br />Tsuchida (small text) : Without Kuroko, it would have honestly been dangerous.<br />Koganei : Uh...<br /><br />Hyuuga : Maybe he's feeling responsible in his way?<br />Hyuuga : More than just sleeping, it's like...<br /><br />Page 09<br /><br />Hyuuga : To be ready for the next match,<br />Hyuuga : He wants to save until the last drop of his strength.<br /><br />Kuroko : Excuse me, I am going to the washroom.<br />Koganei : Ah, I'm going too.<br /><br />Takao : But I was really surprised.<br />Takao : To think Seirin really made it this far...<br /><br />Page 10<br /><br />Takao : Oh...<br />Takao : Yo.<br /><br />Kuroko : … Hello.<br /><br />Takao : Oh? A senpai too? Group trip to the washroom, is it?<br />Takao : Good luck for the next match.<br /><br />Koganei : … Hm?<br />Koganei : … Hmm...!!?<br />Koganei : Wait... Isn't it weird!?<br />Koganei : This guy noticed Kuroko passing by behind him... Did that ever happen!!?<br /><br />Page 11<br /><br />Ootsubo : All right, 10 minutes left!<br /><br />Hyuuga : Let's go!!<br /><br />Midorima : Excuse me, please go ahead.<br /><br />Kuroko : … Kagami-kun.<br />Kuroko : It is time.<br /><br />Midorima : Kuroko...<br />Midorima : And this guy's new light... Kagami...<br /><br />Page 12<br /><br />Midorima : I didn't miss a shot today.<br />Midorima : I didn't hold back during training either.<br />Midorima : I took care of the nails of my left hand as usual.<br /><br />Midorima : Today's horoscope was the best for Cancer.<br />Midorima : I have today's lucky item too (a tanuki item from Shigaraki).<br />Midorima : I laced my shoes starting from the right.<br />Midorima : I did...<br />(Translation note : Shigaraki is a small town of central Japan, famous for its statues of tanuki -Japanese raccoon dog-)<br /><br />Midorima : … Everything I could!!<br />Midorima : All right...<br /><br />Kagami : … shall we go!<br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />Takao : … you're late!<br />Takao : Our senpais already went ahead!<br /><br />Kuroko : Yes.<br /><br />Someone : Woooh, both teams are coming out!!<br /><br />Page 14<br /><br />Ootsubo : Honestly... There aren't many who expected Seirin to win their way until there.<br />Ootsubo : The defeat of the king of the west was nothing less than an upset.<br /><br />Ootsubo : … But that's it.<br />Ootsubo : It doesn't change anything for us.<br /><br />Ootsubo : No matter if the opponent is a rabbit or a tiger, the lion has only one thing to do.<br />Ootsubo : Crush it with all its strength!<br /><br />Ootsubo : Like usual, we want nothing else than victory!!<br />Shuutoku : Yeah!!!<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Hyuuga : Haaa...<br />Hyuuga : … I'm tired!<br /><br />Hyuuga : I've been melancholic since this morning, you know...<br />Hyuuga : Two matches in a row, against kings...<br />Hyuuga : When I thought that if we won against Seihou, we'd still have a match after that...<br /><br />Hyuuga : But there's only one match left, we don't have to hold back anything.<br />Hyuuga : Be happy,<br />Hyuuga : There is only one thing left to do!<br /><br />Hyuuga : We'll throw everything at them until we take them down!!<br />Seirin : Yeah!!!<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Hyuuga : …?<br />Hyuuga : Now that I think about it... Kagami is calmer than I expected...<br /><br />Midorima : I really didn't expect you to win this far.<br /><br />Midorima : But it stops there.<br />Midorima : You think that weak, unknown schools can fight if everyone join their strength, but<br />Midorima : That's just an illusion.<br /><br />Midorima : Come.<br />Midorima : I will teach you how foolish your choice was.<br /><br />Page 17<br /><br />Kuroko : ... Nobody can know for sure if the choice one make for one's life is right or not.<br />Board : Seirin – Shuutoku<br />Kuroko : I did not choose for a reason like that.<br /><br />Kuroko : And I will object to something,<br />Kuroko : At the very least, Seirin is not weak.<br /><br />Kuroko : We will not lose.<br />Kuroko : Definitely.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Will Seirin create a miracle and defeat two kings in a row,<br />Kasamatsu : Or will Shuutoku logically defend its position as the king...<br />Kasamatsu : Well then...<br /><br />Page 18-19 (spread)<br /><br />Bottom : Next issue, the match finally begins...!! Who will seize the initiative!?<br />Someone : It's the final!!<br />Left : They finally reached the “second man”, Midorima... Only one of them will win in the end!!<br /> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:41:53 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/13340 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/13203 Well, here we are. We all knew this day would come, and it did. With this chapter, seven years of awesomeness and what will probably stay one of the best mangas ever has ended. And it ended in a simple, great way, totally fitting the spirit of the manga so far. <br /><br />I'm not exaggerating when I say this manga changed my life, since I learned Japanese with it, for it, i joined MH's staff because of it, and these three years and 120 ES21 translations I've made there will stay forever in my memories, in my heart. That's why, more than anything, I want to thank Inagaki-sensei and Murata-sensei for all those good times. I'd like also to thank some people from MH...<br /><br />So my thanks to abcdefghijkL0L, Acalia, Alexandrius, alexlw92, Altrian, Aly, andy3004, Anon_Spore, baboysai, bax, cHaotix8, cor, Crayola, Dark-Kaomi, Daryl, ddadain, DeepEyes, Dofla, DoublexEdge, Dragonzair, Drakno, Egaki 21, faizuddin, Fenrir, fluke32, hatsuharupeace, heavens_dragon, Heiji-sama, Hermie, Ichimaru Gin n Tonic, igotthegoods, Imperium, JC123, jenn9376, KaNx, kaylee, Khaludh, Kheops, kiniro, kirimi, koenosaki, kokotas, kunno, Kuuki, kylara, LadyHatake, Legacy, Luckas, manu, Meromorphe, Mirror, Mr. Prince, Musashi Gen, Nekoi Echizen, neozero, njt, Obxist, One Eyed Sharingan, PaperYomiko, Predator, Romio_Kasuga, Rsatori, RyuSensei, s4d, Sai_the_Shaman, sakura_hime04, sao, sephysarkon, sergi89, Sherlock Holmes, Slashout, Snaker, Sorata, takadama, Tanequil, TechnoMagus, Thallc, TranquilMelancholy, ttxdragon, VASSiLi, Velvet_Rain_Dropz, Vicissitude, WinterLion, xi0, yoniekai, zky2007 and all the others I forget, who have been part to some extent of this big adventure. <br /><br />The three persons I want to thank the most, though, are The_Worm, who gave me the opportunity to become ES21's translator in the first place, Gold Knight, who offered to me the wonderful job of MH moderator of the ES21 section, and OS.Hoshi, who with her energy and limitless enthusiasm is pretty much the best fan ES21 ever had.<br /><br />And of course, I'd like to thank you, anonymous readers, because I wouldn't be here if not for you. Even if all you left of your passage is a small increase of the number of views in these threads, that still mattered. Thank you for sticking to this wonderful manga until the end \o/<br /><br /><img src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/ES21thanks.jpg" /><br /><br />Well then, it's the last time I'm saying it for ES21, but...

The action pages are so masterfully drawn, it's hard to tell that Fujimaki is actually a beginner. Other than that...

Come on, show us what kind of men you are!!<br /><br />Kasuga : Nice~ I like that kind of stuff~<br /><br />Tsugawa : You say senpai, but aren't you guys only one year older than me?<br />Tsugawa (small text) : hahaha<br />Guy : Seriously, shut up already!<br /><br />Iwamura : … We accept the challenge.<br />Iwamura : Come!!<br /><br />Hyuuga : Well then, we won't hold back...<br /><br />Page 02<br /><br />Right : Raise, senpais!!<br />Hyuuga : Let's do this, Seihou!!<br />23rd Quarter : In order to win<br /><br />Page 03<br /><br />Flag : Invincible resolve – Seihou high school cheering squad<br /><br />Board : Seirin – Seihou<br /><br />Riko : What's with that serious face!<br />Riko : they aren't that weak, it'll be all right!<br />Riko : Stop worrying pointlessly and cheer for them!<br />Kagami : … yes!<br /><br />Guy : Got you!!<br />Guy : Aah!<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Hyuuga : Like hell!<br />Guy : Mu...!<br /><br />Someone : Ooh, awesome!!<br />Someone : They stopped Seihou!!<br /><br />Page 05<br /><br />Iwamura : This posture...<br />Iwamura : Could it be that this guy...<br /><br />Iwamura : is a hook shooter?!!<br /><br />Bottom right note : A hook shot is a hard shot to block, since you put your body between the ball and the basket, shooting only with one hand.<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Iwamura : He wasn't one last year... Quite a bold skill he learned since then.<br />Iwamura : It seems you didn't spend the last year playing around, huh...<br /><br />Mitobe (SFX) : *nods*<br /><br />Kasuga : So what.<br />Kasuga : You're not there yet!<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />Izuki : A scoop shot...!!<br />Izuki : I've never seen such a gentle throw before... If Iwamura is a “hard” type of player, then this guy is a “soft” one...!!<br />Underpanel note : A scoop shot is made with an underhand scooping motion.<br /><br />Koganei : So what!<br /><br />Someone : Oooh, Seirin caught up immediately!!<br /><br />Page 08<br /><br />Kise : Oooh... They're hanging in there way better than I expected.<br />Kasamatsu : … Actually, how they're playing now is probably the most fitting for them.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Kuroko and Kagami's offensive powers are by far above the rest, so they could use them immediately, but...<br />Kasamatsu : The team with those two exists only since this spring.<br />Kasamatsu : you could say it's still in development.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Hyuuga's outside shots...<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Mitobe's hook shots...<br /><br />Kasamatsu : With those at the core of the offenses,<br />Kasamatsu : this is the other side of Seirin that was developed during the last year.<br /><br />Page 09<br /><br />Kasamatsu : They must have trained considerably since their defeat last year,<br />Kasamatsu : in order to win.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : And... There is one more thing I understood.<br />Kasamatsu : The keyman of this team right now<br />Kasamatsu : is the guy I was matched up against last time.<br /><br />Kise : ?<br />Kise : it's not the captain?<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Hyuuga is the support pillar on a mental level.<br />Kasamatsu : The playmaker is the point guard.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : That guy probably has one more eye.<br /><br />Kise : Eye...?<br /><br />Page 10<br /><br />Izumi : All right!!<br />Izumi Let's score this one!<br /><br />Page 11<br /><br />Nothing<br /><br />Page 12<br /><br />Kasuga : Wha...!?<br /><br />Guy : Ouch...!!?<br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />Someone : Woooh, he scored!!<br />Someone : Awesome, Seirin...<br />Someone : They're not losing to the king Seihou...!!<br /><br />Guy : Shit, even though we were covering the right side...<br />Guy : He used me as a screen...<br /><br />Kasuga : Are you kidding...!? That timing just now... He couldn't have done that without seeing everything from above, at least...<br /><br />Riko : Izuki-kun can see it.<br />Riko : Because he has the “Eagle's Eye”!<br /><br />Page 14<br /><br />Riko : He doesn't have any special physical abilities, but he's able to switch his point of sight in his mind.<br />Riko : That mean he's able to see things through various perspectives.<br />Riko : He can always see the entire court.<br /><br />Riko : I told you it would be all right, didn't I?<br />Izuki (small text) : Wasn't that shot hot?<br />Hyuuga (small text) : Get substituted right now or die...!<br />Izuki (small text) : D... Eh!?<br />Riko : Hyuuga-kun and the others aren't all-rounders, but they all have one strong point<br />Riko : And they've spent the last year polishing it.<br /><br />Guy : Our senpais are really awesome after all...<br />Guy : Then, Koganei-senpai and Tsuchida-senpai too...!?<br />Riko : Err... Yeah.<br /><br />Koganei : Uryaa!<br />Riko : Koganei-kun can shoot from any range!!<br />Someone : Oooh!<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Riko : But his accuracy is average.<br />Kagami : Isn't that completely plain!?<br /><br />Riko : For the record, Tsuchida-kun's strong point is rebounds.<br /><br />Board : Seirin – Seihou<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Guy : … this one's going out...!!<br /><br />Guy : Wha!<br /><br />Koganei : Here!<br />Koganei : Ha!<br />Koganei : Hm!?<br />Koganei : Gyaaaa!!<br /><br />Riko : Koganei-kun!<br />Riko : Are you all...<br /><br />Page 17<br /><br />Riko : … He's not alright at all!?<br />Riko : Waaah, his eyes are spinning!!?<br /><br />Riko : Hey, Koganei-kun!!<br />Riko : Koganei-kun!!<br /><br />Riko : I think it's just a light concussion, but<br />Riko : I guess there's no other way but substituting him...<br /><br />Kagami : Then let me play! … Please!<br />Hyuuga : What are you talking about, you know you can't.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Did you forget already what you need to use this energy for, moron!<br />Hyuuga : We'll finish it ourselves, so just wait!<br /><br />Kagami : Still, I can't just stand doing nothing after all! If I can do anything for you senpais...<br />Kuroko : I think the same thing too.<br /><br />Page 18<br /><br />Kuroko : That is why the person with four fouls should stay back.<br />Kagami : Bu!<br /><br />Kagami :What did you say, Kuroko, you bastard...<br />Kuroko : Even if you play, Tsugawa-kun will have you make a foul again and you will be ejected from the court.<br />Kagami : I won't! And that's why I need to take my revenge on Tsugawa!!<br /><br />Kuroko : Then I will defeat Tsugawa-kun in your stead.<br />Kagami : What!...<br /><br />Board : Seirin - Seihou<br />Hyuuga : Five minutes left... and six points behind...<br /><br />Hyuuga : I get it... then I'll leave your fellow freshman to you,<br />Hyuuga : Kuroko.<br /><br />Page 19<br /><br />Tsugawa : Huh...!?<br />Tsugawa : I was sure it'd be Kagami who would come back.<br /><br />Tsugawa : What, it's just you?<br />Tsugawa : And I wanted to go against Kagami again...<br />Kuroko : Sorry, I may be lacking in strength, but<br /><br />Kuroko : I have come for what seems to be a revenge<br />Middle text : The shadow stood up for the sake of the light!!<br />Kuroko : as his representative.<br />Bottom : Next issue, fierce battle before the end of the match!!

He wasn't a substitute!?<br />Tsugawa : but...<br /><br />Guy : Both Tsugawa and the captain were passed...<br /><br />Kise : Those two are working together even better than before.<br />Kasamatsu : They completely destroyed that defense.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : But... One thing is bothering me.<br /><br />Page 12<br /><br />Kasamatsu : This amount of sweat, it's not something you'd see already in the 2nd quarter...<br /><br />Kasuga : What are you laughing about?<br />Tsugawa : Ah, sorry!<br />Kasuga : Nah, I don't really mind, you know...<br /><br />Kasuga : you're happy because that number 10 is overheating, right?<br />Kasuga : It means your cover is working well.<br /><br />Tsugawa : It's not enough yet!

He isn't going to stop me?<br /><br />Kagami : I don't care what you're thinking about!<br />Kagami : I'll score from above!!<br /><br />Hyuuga : Wait, don't do it, Kagami!!<br /><br />Page 14<br /><br />Referee : Offensive foul!!<br />Referee : White, number 10!!<br />Kagami : Wha!<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Someone : Four...<br /><br />Someone : Waaah, it's the fourth one!<br />Someone : Seirin's scorer is in foul trouble!!<br />Someone : And it's only the 2nd quarter!!?<br /><br />Kagami : This guy...<br /><br />Kagami : It was on purpose...!!<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Kise : Idiot...!!

What's that about!<br />Kagami : Me and Kuroko playing only the first half...<br /><br />Hyuuga : I guess... There are two reasons for that.<br />Hyuuga : The first one<br /><br />Hyuuga : is that you two<br />Hyuuga : are the only ones who can defeat Midorima.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Even if we win this match<br />Hyuuga : In order to win against Shuutoku, we definitely will have to do something about Midorima.<br />Hyuuga : But Shuutoku is already preserving Midorima, just like we thought.<br />Hyuuga : We won't be able to win if you two are exhausted.<br /><br />Page 20<br /><br />Hyuuga : It's true that if we have both of you playing this whole match, we'll have better chances of winning against Seihou,<br />Hyuuga : but on the other hand, we definitely won't be able to win against Shuutoku next.<br />Hyuuga : If we're preserving you, our chances of defeating Seihou are way lower,<br /><br />Hyuuga : But we'll still have a few percents of chances of making it to the final league.<br /><br />Kagami : No, we'll manage somehow to defeat Midorima... even if we're tired!<br />Kagami : On top of that...<br />Kuroko : Kagami-kun... We should do as we are told.<br />Kagami : What!?<br /><br />Kuroko : I believe in our senpais.<br />Kuroko : And the most important thing is definitely...<br />Kuroko : the other reason.<br /><br />Page 21<br /><br />Guy : Seirin, member change!!<br /><br />Izuki : Geez, that's one fine gamble.<br /><br />Tsuchida : Yeah... Been a while since I last played in a match.<br />Koganei : Then show them your good sides, Tsucchi!!<br />(Xophien's note : the kanjis for his name are written Tsuchida, but Koganei calls him Tsucchi)<br /><br />Kagami : … I'll play if it gets dangerous!<br />Koganei : What is the guy with 4 fouls saying!! (small text : leave it to us!)<br /><br />Guy : … Two of them?<br />Guy : They're planning to save both the freshmen?<br /><br />Tsugawa : Arara! He's not here anymore...<br />Tsugawa : Well, it won't be much of a challenge but... let's do this!<br /><br />Hyuuga : What's with the freshmen, lately...<br /><br />Page 22<br /><br />Hyuuga : Shut the hell up, you lowly scum.<br />Hyuuga : I'm going to teach you the proper way to speak to a senpai, baldy.<br /><br />Tsugawa : Scu...!?<br /><br />Takao : Hm? Seems like something's happening on the other court...?<br /><br />Takao : Hey, the two freshmen of Seirin are benched.<br />Takao : Are they giving up the match?<br /><br />Page 23<br /><br />Midorima : … no.<br />Midorima : Actually it's the contrary.<br />Midorima : Those eyes...<br /><br />Midorima : They're planning to win.<br /><br />Page 24<br /><br />Board : Seirin – Seihou<br /><br />Kagami (small text) : So he can dunk too...<br /><br />Page 25<br /><br />Iwamura : I've overheard your talk earlier, but if you're doing that just for the sake of winning against Shuutoku... Then it means you're badly underestimating us.<br />Hyuuga : Aah, that was just for show.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Our real reason is the second one, but it's no big thing, really.<br />Hyuuga : There's no way we can be satisfied if we win our return match by relying on our freshmen, don't you think?<br />Hyuuga : … In other words,<br /><br />Hyuuga : This is about our pride as senpais.<br />Text : Men who don't want to lose!!<br />Bottom : Next issue, don't miss how far the pride or Seirin's second year will get them!!<br /> Sun, 31 May 2009 21:33:57 +0000 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/12799 http://mangahelpers.com/t/xophien/releases/12729 Yeah, I messed up the order this time, the Kuroko translation of last week should have been released before this, but I just couldn't find a moment to take care of it this week &gt;.&gt;; Don't worry, my dear Kuroko fans though, I'll catch up with Kuroko probably this week-end (knowing myself, I won't make any promises, but still).<br /><br />In the meantime, enjoy this ES21 translation~<br /><br /><strong>Eyeshield 21 chapter 331</strong><br /><br />Page 01<br /><br />Announcer : That's...

Sorry &gt;.&gt;; And to anyone still waiting the translation of Blust, I'm afraid I'll need some more time, 24 hours a day just aren't enough for me lately^^;<br /><br />Enjoy~<br /><br /><strong>Kuroko chapter 20</strong><br /><br />Page 01<br /><br />20th Quarter : It will be all right<br /><br />Left : The stage is ready. Do you have the resolve to keep fighting?<br /><br />Page 02<br /><br />Right : They came to see Seirin...!?<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Because you were too slow when you went to buy drinks, it's already started!<br />Kise : Ouch!<br /><br />Kise : … Eh?<br /><br />Page 03<br /><br />Board : Seirin – Seihou<br /><br />Kise : 12 to 0!?<br /><br />Kise : Eeeh!?<br />Kasamatsu : hey, are you kidding?<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Kagami : Hm... Gh...!!?<br /><br />Page 05<br /><br />Someone : Woooh!<br />Someone : What pressure!! What the hell is that guy!?<br /><br />Kagami : This bastard...!! I saw it on DVD but in real he's that strong!?<br />Kagami : Seriously, in defense he's the same level as Kise!!<br /><br />Tsugawa : … Haha!<br /><br />Izuki : Kagami, you carry the ball too much!! Hand it over!!<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Kasuga : Oyo!?<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />Izuki : I got...<br /><br /><br />Page 08<br /><br />Izuki : I thought I was free... and that guy showed up suddenly!!<br /><br />Iwamura : Weak.<br />Iwamura : You won't be able to break our defense with attacks of that level.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Their defense is tough...!!<br />Hyuuga : As expected from the strongest defense of Tokyo...<br />Hyuuga : They won't get shaken by half-baked offenses!!<br /><br />Someone : Seirin hasn't scored yet!!<br />Someone : Awesome!<br /><br />Page 09<br /><br />Kise : What the hell are they doing, geez...<br />Kasamatsu : It was the same thing against us, but<br />Kasamatsu : I guess Seirin is basically a team that starts slowly.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : But usually the one who starts accelerating is Kagami...<br />Kasamatsu : That guy still can't do a thing so the others can't go with the flow.<br /><br />Guy : hey, Tsugawa, being full of spirit is good, but<br />Guy : Keep some for the second half!<br /><br />Tsugawa : It's alright!<br />Tsugawa (small text) : I still have to spare!<br />Tsugawa : He's not as strong as I thought!<br /><br />Page 10<br /><br />Kagami : What the hell did you say...<br />Tsugawa : Ouch!<br /><br />Referee : Charging!<br />Referee : White, number 10!!<br /><br />Kagami : Wha...<br /><br />Riko : That idiot... Is blood getting to his head so easily!?<br />Riko (small text) : Go donate your blood or something!<br />Koganei : Kagami! Calm down!!<br /><br />Kuroko : Kagami-kun, it is the second one already. (small text : A foul.)<br />Kagami : … I know!!<br />Top note : You're sent off the court after 5 fouls.<br /><br />Page 11<br /><br />Kagami : But it's not just that.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Damn... I thought only guys from the Generation of Miracles could stop Kagami...<br /><br />Riko : We can't even make proper passes...<br />Riko : We can't use the combination plays with Kuroko-kun!?<br /><br />Page 12<br /><br />Nothing<br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />Riko : Again...<br />Riko : There's no pass course...!!<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Seihou is using man-to-man defense.<br />Kasamatsu : … but this isn't your average one, they're constantly playing like they were about to settle the match, sticking to the opponents and pressuring them.<br />Kasamatsu : half-baked moves won't shake them off.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : no matter how awesome the passes are, if no one is free to get them, they can't even use half of their power.<br /><br />Kise : I understand the defense is tough, but...<br />Kise : If they're playing that way, they won't have the stamina to hold until the end.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : These guys will.<br />Kasamatsu : Because...<br />Official : Seirin, time-out!<br /><br />Page 14<br /><br />Riko : Seihou is using old martial arts.<br /><br />Kagami : Old martial arts...!? (small text : Acho!?)<br />Riko : they're not kicking, I'm not talking about the same martial arts!<br />Riko : I mean, more exactly, what they're using is “martial arts movements”<br /><br />Riko : One of those is called the “Nanba run”.<br />Riko : Usually, when you're running, the arm you swing forward is the opposite one of your leg, but<br />Riko : With the Nanba run, you're running while swinging forward the arm on the same side as your leg.<br />(Xophien's trivia note : yup, this actually exists, and the legend says postmen in the Edo period in Japan used this method to be able to run more than 100km in a day. It got in the spotlight again when the basketball team of Touhou high school in Niigata successfully added it into their style for great results a couple of years ago. And to show you Izuki isn't the only one that likes puns, written differently, Touhou means Eastern and Seihou means Western. Fujimaki-sensei isn't half bad as well xD)<br /><br />Page 15<br /><br />Kasamatsu : By twisting your body that way, there's less burden on it.<br />Kasamatsu : It seems you lose less stamina that way.<br /><br />Kise : You sure know your stuff, huh?<br />Kasamatsu : That's because they're an unusual team, even at the national level.<br />Kasamatsu : There's been some articles on them in Monthly Basketball, too.<br /><br />Kise : I see, that's why...<br />Kise : That guy, Tsugawa... The pressure he puts as a defender is even stronger than last year.<br />Kise : But...<br /><br />Kise : These guys aren't going to let themselves be bossed around at this rate, right?<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Riko : Other than the Nanba run<br />Riko : They can use their strength even when not steady on their feet, move faster without losing balance,<br />Riko : They're using various basic movements of old martial arts.<br />Riko : That's the strength of Seihou.<br /><br />Kagami : Martial arts movements...<br />Kagami : So that was what felt out of place...<br /><br />Riko : But it's not like they're disappearing or flying.<br />Riko : The opponents are high school students, just like you!<br />Riko : They'll fall for feints<br />Riko : And you can destroy their balance by taking them by surprise.<br /><br />Riko : They're playing basketball, just like you.<br />Riko : As long as you're playing like usual, it'll work.<br />Riko : it's not the time to go crazy just yet!<br /><br />Page 17<br /><br />Kagami : Izuki-senpai...<br />Kagami : Would you mind giving me the ball?<br />Izuki : Eh?<br /><br />Kagami : Let me go against that guy once more.<br /><br />Izuki : … Then it's alright to leave it to you?<br />Izuki : Do you have some kind of plan?<br /><br />Kagami : No... But the guy is still a human just like me, right?<br />Kagami : I just have... to go faster than the opponent... I guess.<br /><br />Izuki : Woooh, what's with that.<br />Izuki : Are you sure it'll be ok?<br />Kuroko : I think it will be all right.<br /><br />Page 18<br /><br />Kuroko : he is a man who will do the things he has to do.<br /><br />Tsugawa : Oh, one-on-one?<br />Tsugawa : Come!<br /><br />Kagami : Who cares if you're using martial arts or whatever.<br />Kagami : Basketball is basketball, right!<br /><br />Page 19<br /><br />Tsugawa : Mgh...<br />Tsugawa : A counterattack with a change of pace...!?<br /><br />Page 20<br /><br />Nothing<br /><br />Page 21<br /><br />Tsugawa : Fast...!!?<br /><br />Someone : Ooooh, seriously, that thing, now!?<br />Someone : Lightning speed!!!<br /><br />Kasuga : Heee... That's the first time I see someone pass you.<br /><br />Tsugawa : … Hahaha<br /><br />Tsugawa : no, it starts from now on...<br />Tsugawa : It's more fun when it's hard!<br />Text : Prediction of an unforgiving storm!!<br /><br />Bottom : Next issue, what's the surprising strategy Seirin's captain picked!?

I'll kick you!<br />Kise : Ouch!<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Since when are you watching the morning show anyway?<br />Kise : Only today, since Midorimacchi plays better if his horoscope is good.<br /><br />Kasamatsu : Aah, that guy from Teikou.<br />Kasamatsu : What's his sign?<br />Announcer : Let's begin by the signs with the best and worst luck today...<br />Kise : Cancer!

It's weird...<br />Kagami : They're playing on a different rhythm...!? What's that weird feeling...<br /><br />Takao : I forgot exactly what it was, but...<br />Takao : It seems like the way this team trains is unique.<br />Takao : I don't know why, but their mobility is really high, and they're probably the best defense of Tokyo.<br /><br />Kagami : Especially that guy with the shaven head, he's really persistent in defense.<br />Kuroko : This man... I know him.<br />Kagami : Ah?<br /><br />Kuroko : I played against him in middle school.<br />Kuroko : Though you can say Kise-kun didn't have much experience at the time,<br />Kuroko : he was still stopped by this man.<br /><br />Page 16<br /><br />Someone : 24 seconds, time over!<br /><br />Kise : huh!?<br /><br />Guy : Kise, you're wasting too much time, idiot!<br />Kise : Sorry!<br />Midorima : That's why you're hopeless.<br /><br />Kuroko : Kise-kun...<br />Kuroko (small text) : Please pass the ball around properly.<br />Kise : Aw, even Kurokocchi is angry!?<br /><br />Captain : Kise...

Seeing some guy with such an unhappy face is seriously fun!<br />Kise : Can't somebody else switch position with me, please! (small text : what's with that guy!?)<br /><br />Midorima : To be honest, even I wouldn't want to play against that guy...<br />Takao (small text) : me neither...<br />Takao : but you know, if we face them, you'll have to, Midorima.<br />Takao : His defense is at the national level... Actually he might even be able to stop you.<br /><br />Board : Seihou – Kitawada<br />Takao : My, my...<br /><br />Page 18<br /><br />Takao : It's over, huh? Seirin can't take down that fortress.<br />Takao : It's a shame but it's likely these guys that we'll face in the final.<br />Takao : Think about it well.<br /><br />Midorima : … I know.<br /><br />Page 19<br /><br />Izuki : I knew it already, but...<br />Izuki : Honestly, this is going to be hard...<br /><br />Koganei : Sorry, actually I feel like crying a bit.<br /><br />Riko : To put it clearly, we'd lose 9 matches out of 10 against either Seihou or Shuutoku.<br />Riko : But we just have to make those matches the ones we win!<br /><br />Hyuuga : You know...<br /><br />Left : There is a way out of this fatal situation!? What's the captain's secret plan!?<br /><br />Hyuuga : You can't really call that a plan, but...<br />Hyuuga : I've got an idea...<br />Bottom : next issue, the day of the match!! What are the thoughts passing through their minds...!?

As expected, huh?<br /><br />Kagami : … Ffn!<br /><br />Guy : But still, the way they play isn't too different from us.<br />Guy : It's just like they're making basketball seem so easy to play...<br />Guy : Why is that?<br /><br />Page 04<br /><br />Hyuuga : That's because they're not making any mistakes.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Basketball is a sport where the ball is constantly going around at high speed.<br />Hyuuga : That's why it's not too uncommon to fumble the ball even when you're just trying to catch a pass.<br /><br />Hyuuga : It seems their strong points are throwing, catching and running, without exception.<br /><br />Hyuuga : They're doing all those moves naturally, without fail.<br /><br />Hyuuga : If it seems so easy, that's because...<br />Hyuuga : They've perfectly mastered the basics.<br /><br />Hyuuga : Well, that's still just the basics, though.<br />Hyuuga : The other obvious reason is that...<br /><br />Page 05<br /><br />Nothing<br /><br />Page 06<br /><br />Hyuuga : They have overwhelming scorers...<br />Ootsubo : Sorry.<br />Ootsubo : Are you all right?<br />3rd year class C<br />Ootsubo Taisuke<br />198cm 98kg<br /><br />Guy : Awesome dunk!<br />Guy : Is that guy really a high schooler!?<br /><br />Riko : It seems like he's a whole level stronger than before again.<br />Hyuuga : Last year, even by himself, this guy was already unstoppable, but...<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />Riko : … yeah<br />Riko : Until last year, Shuutoku's strong point was the inside area, and the rest was average... But now...<br /><br />Kagami : So far today he scored five out of five.<br />Kagami : Since like Midorima is in a good day too, huh?<br /><br />Kuroko : Is that so?<br />Kagami : Like hell if I know!<br />Kagami : Shouldn't you be the one who knows that!?<br /><br />Guy : It's no good, fortify the center!<br />Guy : It doesn't matter if we let them play beyond the three-point line to some extent!<br /><br />Kuroko : Who knows...?<br />Kuroko : I have never seen him miss once...
