D- Alright Yuuho I’m going one step ahead!
Y- Okay
C- Put your heart in it!!

02

Chapter 10 Debut
The story thus far
Exchange student Josh, translator Yuuho, Ace Komuta, these three combine in the fired up Yashiba High Basketball Club! The match with Tokiwa Chuuou is overwhelming with the actions of Komuta and Josh!! And Tameyoshi’s declaration that all members will play!!

03
B- Ugh…!!
h/w- Second stringers…!!
E- An all member change with Tokichuu as our opponents, this is a first
F- Cuz usually it’s us getting thwarted
E- Yeah yeah, moreover we’re competing with the second stringers instead
F- its humiliation time
h/w- Hahahaha
B- Grr!!
h/w- Grin…

04
B- We’re changing all our members too
B- Third stringers figure it out yourselves
B- …And
B- First and second stringers, come outside with me for a second
B- Our first stringers being made to play Yashiba’s second stringers…!! They’re completely different… Yes… yes they are, this is just a practice match after all …it’s only an adjustment… we’ll show our real abilities in the tournament…
TC- Ah… Coach…
TC- Uwa~aaa… What should we do…?
TC- Nah… well… it’d be bad if we didn’t go
TC- There’s no helping it, Maeda, you guys continue the match
M- Ah… yes!!

05
YA- Ah, out they come… that baldy’s true colours
YA- He’s really just a bratty kid isn’t he?
YA- You got that right
h/w- Hm?
Y- ‘Get out there everyone’ means… here it comes, my debut battle
…Crap, I’m super nervous…
Can I really make the plays properly…?
Well our opponents are third stringers… but they’re the third stringers of these giants… meaning they might be pretty good
I was the only one stumbling when everyone got fired up about the nationals…
I don’t wanna make an ass of myself in front of Koganei-chan…
No, I’ll be fine I gotta believe in my training
More than anything I can recognise my nervous self right now!!
I’ll control my feelings!! I can do it!! Bring it on, demon who incurs nervousness…

06
Y- Bwaah!!!!
K- Hey… what are you doing!?
K- Well Yuuho seems nervous
C- What!!? You brat!!
h/w- Ahhh
C- You weren't thinking you could actually be active before you've even finished learning the basics were you!!?
Y- I wasn’t…
C- You’re naïve!! You’re just a beginner! Run!! At any rate just run!!
H- Haha… but I understand you know, of course you’d be nervous
Y- Yeah!! Hanai-san!!
H- Rather than growing as a person, it’s more important to understand what you’re suited for and not suited for and all…
Y- Aha!! Ahaha!! …Aha!!
J- What are you yelling about!? It all starts from here Yuuho!!
J- Even if you can’t get out there don’t get shitty, just watch everyone’s plays carefully!! Watching is training as well!!
Y- No that’s not… um everyone is… oh whatever!!

07
K- Besides, our opponents are small fry, if you can just play with a good feeling Mao’ll probably be like ‘You’re so cool Satou-kun’ right?
K- She’ll say ‘Satou-kun you did your best’
Y- What?
Y- I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about, what? Huh?
G- Not ‘what’ it’s written all over your face
Y- Hey, no way, Hahaha quit it Yaguchi-sa…
Y- Yow!!!!!
C- What’re you grinning about Yuuho!? Cheer everyone on you idiot!!
h/w- Ah aaaaah
Y- I wonder if it was because I was being picked on like this by everyone on the bench…

08
T- The people who haven’t been out yet are… oh, Satou!!
T- Alright, come on, it’s your turn!!
Y- Yes!!
Y- I was able to head into my debut battle thinking about something else and feeling relaxed
09
C- Alright get going!!
Y- Yessir!!
K- Satou-kun calm down!
T- Alright
T- The court is the place where the match is taking place but at the same time
T- its a canvas upon which you emblaze your soul
T- Go past winning or losing and throw your whole self into it
T- …something like that, how was it Nakanishi?
C- Good sir
S- Yashiba High player change!!

10
Y- ‘Soul’… I don’t know if I can play properly, but as for feelings I want to emblaze on this court... I have some
Y- ‘Gratitude’
Y- This might be a weird way to say it but
Y- I want to put in gratitude and stand on this court… or something?
Y- Gratitude for the beginning of this destiny
Y- Gratitude for the opportunity that was given to me
Y- Gratitude for being taught about how fun basketball can be
Y- Gratitude for the been made to feel ‘I seriously don’t want to lose’ for the first time since I was born
Y- I want to make a good play for everyone’s sake

11
Y- If I say it like Josh
Y- I want to repay everyone who made me strong’ or something
Y- I wonder if I can’t show you how I’ve gotten a bit stronger

12
V- Hey
Y- Uh… hey
Y- Ah, the hooligan shogun…! This guy is my opponent huh… (T/N: Shogun were rulers in Japan for a long time up till the Bakumatsu)
Y- I kinda feel… like the court is a lot wider than usual…
V- I see…
Y- Lessee… the defence is one on…
V- Seems like Hachiko got a bit stronger huh
V- Like that number nine… and that number eleven who seems like a half-blood or something, they’re super cool right, I wanna make friends with them
Y- …what is this guy blabbing about in the middle of a match…

13
V- Geez…
V- I thought I’d be popular if I made it to the nationals so I joined the basketball club y’know…
h/w- Like that number nine
V- My senpai are so lame
V- Like Nakajima-san
V- Taka got that serious during practice… he was training so hard…
V- And these are the results? It really is useless if you have no talent right?
V- And you know what!? He shoulda put me in as a starter
V- I think I’ve got a pretty good sense, and I’m a beginner but I’ve more or less mastered dribbling and that
V- All I need now is real match experience… hahahaha…

14
Y- It’s just practice and he’s become so fired up…
K- You have a weapon!!
Y- I’ve tried pretty hard but I’m just a sub…
V- I thought I’d be sticking it with Nakajima-san right away you know…
V- Ah, there’s no point if I’m just playing in some third stringer match…
V- its no fun at all right?
Y- Um… you’re… who’re you again? I dunno your name… but…
Y- ‘Hooligan Shogun’ and ‘That number 35 guy’ are kinda… I’ll have to give you a tentative name for now… so your name can be tentative, yeah

15
Y- Satou-kun (tentative)
Y- From Josh… from Atsumu… from everyone… from basketball, I’ll put everything I was given into this one moment

16
Y- Satou-kun (tentative)…
Y- I will surpass you…!!!!

18
E- Yeeeeaaah!!! Yuuhoooo!!!
Y- I still have a long way to go before I reach Josh-sensei, but
Y- Ah… it’s nothing really… just a third stringer match…
Y- At this point in time I just have one thing I wanna put my heart into, one thing to teach others
Y- Basketball is fun
h/w- Yeeeeeaaaaah

19
E- Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!!!
T- Com-plete
T- Vic-to-ry!! Yee-ah!!
Sidebar- The ultimate moment!!
