pg01
[Proof of "animal instinct" - the ace awakens!!]
**omg color page <3 Also, lol at Kiseki being bigger than Kuroko and Kagami in the poster**

pg02
Aomine: Why don't we go to round 2 as well?

Aomine: Kagami!
[This guy-]

pg03
Imayoshi: Oh no... // I'm not letting you pass

Imayoshi: As long as I'm marking you // you should give up trying to help.

Kuroko: ....tsk

[Kuroko's been stopped and the Senpais are being marked harder than the first half... // at this rate, the gap will keep widening]

Kagami: No choice but to do it!!

[In that moment Kagami felt a shiver // from a subconscious simulation]

pg04
[The image of utter defeat surpassing the first half]

Aomine: Oi, pay more attention.

pg05
[Damn it-]

Izuki: Wha-...

Kiyoshi: I can't believe it...
[He stilled for only a moment, not enough to say he hesitated... and yet]
Kiyoshi: He took advantage of that lapse!?

pg06
-: Waaaa stop him Kagami-!!

Aomine: Damn...

Hyuuga: Wait, damn you...!!

-: Whoa, Hyuuga!!

pg07
Hyuuga: Damn it
-: No but in that second...

-: Kagami // got in position!!

Kagami: Like hell I'll let you through!!

pg08
**Aomine spins around Kagami while in the air o.O**

pg09
[WHAT-!!?]

pg10
**and makes the shot**

pg11
-:....*gasp*

-: Waaah, what was that just now!? // He did a 360 in the air and dodged... // it's like he's super-human!!

[Does this mean he wasn't serious in the first half...!?]
Takao: What the heck is...

Midorima: It's very simple.
Takao: Huh?

Midorima: I believe the skill Kagami acquired is what's called "animal instinct". // ...but

pg12
Midorima: Kagami wasn't the only one with "animal instinct". // That's all there is to it.

Midorima: Since he stopped playing seriously, his instinct became dull // but it came back slowly during his battle against Kagami...

[At that moment, what Kagami felt // was no longer frustration or defeat]

Kagami: ...ama...zing

pg13
[It was // a pure feeling of respect]

[Because Aomine had // reached the pinnacle as a basketball player]

pg14
-: Nice rebound!!

Kiyoshi: Grr...
[This guy... from the start, he was aiming for the landing]

[Like against Hyuuga just now, Touou has this too...]
Izuki: A strong defence based on Momoi's predictions and data

pg15
-: A fast break offense-!! // The point gap is widening... // It's getting harder for Seirin!!

-: No matter what we do, they get ahead of us... damn it! // If Kuroko can at least shake off his mark....

-: I got it!! If Kuroko starts changing pass routes like he did during the Kirisaki match...

Riko: ...no

-: ...there's definitely a risk involved...but...
Riko: ...That's not what I mean

pg16
Riko: He's... already doing it
-: Huh?

Riko: But he still can't shake him off

Riko: It's not just Momoi's strategy...// Kuroko-kun's mind is being read completely too

-: No way...

pg17
-: It's no use. The gap keeps widening... // The 3rd quarter is almost done... they're finished // I thought they were doing pretty well, but I guess this is the reality

Kise: Really, what are they saying...the match hasn't...
Kasamatsu: ...no

Kasamatsu: ...there won't be another // ...upset

Kise: Wha-... not you too, Senpai... you're saying it's too late for them to catch up with this gap!?
Kasamatsu: That's not it.

Kasamatsu: Look

pg18
Kise: Kuroko-cchi's being marked by this guy again...!?
[Could it be...]

[they can see him...!?]

Kasamatsu: The longer he uses it, the less effective it becomes. He can't use it for a full 40 minutes.

Kasamatsu: Seirin can't do anything ... and // now there's also no possibility of them making a comeback like before

pg19
[Misdirection has completely // run-]

Kasamatsu: They're out of options // Seirin has...lost
[Will there be light in the despairing darkness!?]
