Kuroko no Basket v08 c68

Page147:
B1: Copy Aomine...!?
B2: Can he... do that!?

B1: ...In the first place, Kise-kun's copying is simply doing what he’s capable of.
B2: He can't do the impossible.

B1: H- Huh?
B2: Basically...

B1: In simple terms, he has an extraordinary understanding of things.
B2: But he can't copy a NBA player // or moves that surpass his physical ability.

B1: However... if he’s still trying to pull it off

Bottom: Quarter 68: I don’t think it's strange if

Page148:
B1: that means he believes that he can do it.

B1: My, my.

B2: Not good.

Page149:
B1: It’s time!!

{ He just flung it...! }
B1: No way it'll go in...!

B1: Wha—

B1: Haha // My, how lucky.


Page150:
B1: Wowww, it went in!!
B2: A Buzzer Beater*!!
Under: *When the ball, which was shot at the same time as the buzzer, goes in.

B1: Ooops, it went in.

B1: Grr.

B1: End of the 2nd quarter. // We're going into a ten minute break.

{ The 68th Quarter: I don’t think it's strange}


Page152:
B1: ...Fuhaa!!
B2: I'm thirsty!!

B1: What's that out of nowhere, Koga?
B2: I mean, it’s a su~~per tense atmosphere. // And it’s like we were against some crazy folks
B3: Although it was mostly fluke wins and crushing defeats.

B1: But still, it's quite hot here...
B2: I definitely want something to drink.

B1: ...Shall I go buy something?

B1: I'll take a Pocari*.
B2: Me too.
B3: Co~la~.
B4: Eh
B5: Nacchan lemon!
B6: Beer!
B7: Who's the idiot always ordering alcohol? {Stop!} // And besides, first years all go together!
*TL NOTE: Pocari is a nice sports drink (sort of like Powerade, but better :P) ...should try some ^_^

{ Geh... // So troublesome...}

Sign: Kaijou High School // Changing Room
B1: A nine point difference...


Page153:
B1: That last shot was painful.

B1: Aw, shit-- If had taken the (l)ast (r)ebound~~~~~!! #words in brackets are small
< rooaaaarr >
B2: It went in, so there was no rebound.
{ fool…}
B3: Kise... How much more do you need?

B1: ...

B1: At earliest, until the second half of the third quarter. // If I screw up, it might even take 'till the fourth quarter.

B1: Can I go outside for a while?
B2: ...Yeah.
{Be quick.}

B1: That means most of the third quarter // we'll be playing pretty much without Kise...

{ Can we pull if off against Touou... No,}
{ We'll definitely do it! ...Therefore
B1: we're counting on you, Kise...!!


Page154:
B1: Copy Aomine....!?
Sign: Touou Academy // Changing Room

B1: Yes....
B2: But it’s not just copying of one technique, but of the entire style, // He’s updating the past with the current image.....

B1: Even if he can manage it, it should still take him a bit more time.

B1: He HAS a weapon.
{ I see. That's what he meant....}
{ no wonder they were so calm.}


Page155:
B1: No way....
B2: Coach...!!

B1: If we know that, then there’s no reason to put him out! // Let’s withdraw him...
B2: ....Hey, // hey!

B1: Don't be stupid. What are you gonna do by intentionally lowering our strength?
B2: Of course we're gonna keep on going like this.

B1: What was that, you bastard----!

B1: Copying me? As if that's possible.
B2: Even if I take a million steps back and say it’s possible, // it wouldn't change anything.


Page156:
B1: The only one who can win against me
B2: is me alone.

B1: ....Ah.
B2: Eh?


Page157:
B1: Kise-kun.

B1: Hello.

B1: Kuroko-cchi!? // Why are you here!?
B2: I got separated.
B3: Huh?

{ Hey, where did that fool go...}
{ We lost him in 2 seconds...}


Page158:
B1: I never imagined you’d come to watch.
B2: We had our training camp around here until yesterday, so.

B1: Tch-- So you're not here to cheer for me?
B2: Not at all.
B3: So cruel!!

B1: ...Then, // let me ask

B1: between Aomine-cchi and me... if you were to choose
B2: who do you think will win?

B1: ...I don't know.
B2: Eh------
B3: It’s just that as you don't give up, you never know what’s going to happen in a match. // And I don't think either of you would give up.


Page159:
B1: ....So
B2: I don’t think it'd be strange // for either of you to win.

B1: ….hm~~m

B1: Okay, then // I'll give it my best

B1: ....
B2: What?
{ ...Huh?}

{B1: No, I just thought.... // you would say "I'll definitely win".}
B2: What’s that about?

B1: ...Well, of course, I intend to do just that... // but honestly I'm not so sure myself.
B2: During my middle school, winning a game was a given....


Page160:
B1: But right now, not knowing if I can win or not,
B2: feels way better.

B1: We're starting the third quarter.


Page161:
B1: The third quarter started!!
B2: Finally the 2nd half!!

B1: Eh.
B1: Wah wah wahhhh

{ Much more pressure than first half...}
{ fighttttt...}

B1: Gah!?


Page162:
B1: Ohh // a sudden quick attack!!

B1: I won't let you past!!

< mutter mutter >


Page163:
B1: Wha---!?
{ No way, that’s Aomine's...!?}
B1: Grr....


Page164:
B1: Foul: holding. // Black #4!!

B1: Aww----- So close...!!
B2: Rather, didn't that move look like Aomine's...?

{ I couldn’t stop him without a foul... What's more}
{ It's still incomplete and quite behind the real thing... but... no way...}
{ it’s much faster than I expected!!}


Page165:
B1: That was a nice foul, Capt....
B2: ...Wakamatsu.

B1: Do you remember the day…. Aomine came in?
B2: Huh?

B1: I thought him to be reliable, but at the same time, // I got chills imagining him as an opponent.

B1: Just now, I got
B2: the chills.

{ ...Kise, you bastard------!! }

B1: It's still a bit off from the image. // Faster....
B2: much, much faster....


Page166:
{ Hey, where did that fool go...}
{ We lost him in 2 seconds...}

B1: I'm not gone.
{ Humph }

B1: Be gone----!!
B2: Eh?
B3: What's with that face!! // You’re not suppose to be here!!

{ Forgotten}
B1: ...
