Kuroko no Basket 4

I wanted to do it tomorrow, but... This chapter was just too good, I couldn't wait. So there you go, Kuroko's fourth chapter's translation. Honestly, it's one of the best start I've seen for any manga series, this manga has HUGE potential. I sure hope it doesn't get cancelled o/

Enjoy~

Kuroko chapter 04

Page 01

Hyuuga : Oooh, so big~
Hyuuga : The energy they put in the sports clubs here is on a different level after all...
(Xophien's note :The box is still a summary of the previous chapter. Too damn tired to translate it, my bad >.>; I wonder what they'll do with this space in the volume releases...)

Left : The day of the match!!

Kuroko : Kagami-kun, your eyes seem even worse than usually...
Kagami : Shut up.
Kagami : I was too much fired up, so I couldn't sleep.
Kagami (small text) : Let's do this! I'll show you, Kise! Hurry up and come, tomorrow!!
Kuroko : … Are you supposed to be a grade schooler before a field trip?

Kise : Hi!
Kise : I'll be counting on you guys today!

Page 02

Someone : Kise...!!
Kise : Since this place's so big, I came to greet you.

Kise : Kurokocchi~ Ever since you turned me down so easily...
Kise : I've been crying myself to sleep every night, geez...

Kise : Not a single girl has ever turned me down, you know?
Kuroko : … Would you stop saying things like that?

Kise : That's why, since Kurokocchi is willing to say that much about you...
Kise : I'm a bit interested.

Kise : I'm not really obsessed with the name “Generation of Miracles”, but...
Kise : If you're willing to pick up a fight that much...

Page 03

Kise : Even someone like me is no man to let that slide …
Kise : Sorry, but I'll have to seriously take you down.

Kagami : Of course!

Kise : Ah
Kise : It's here.

Riko : … wait
Riko : huh?

Page 04

Riko : We're playing... on half a court?
Left : That bad presentiment is...!?
4th Quarter : He might not be a decent one.

Someone : They're practicing already on the other half...?

Someone : Wait, isn't that board past the expiration date...

Takeuchi : Aah, you're there. (small text : Nice to meet you.)
Takeuchi : We'll be playing on only this side of the court, you don't mind?
Kaijou high school's basketball club coach
Takeuchi Genta

Riko : Nice to meet you too.
Riko : … Err, what might you mean...?

Takeuchi : It's just like you see. Today's match is just a light warm-up for our team, but...
Takeuchi : The club members that won't play just won't see anything worth learning by just watching, so...
Takeuchi : In order not to waste their time, the other members are going to practice as usual.

Left : A burning match!! What is Kise's plan...!?

Takeuchi : But even though I say it's a warm-up,
Takeuchi : It's still our regular members.
Takeuchi : Please don't get yourselves defeated by triple the points.

Page 06

Kagami : They're making fun of us...
Kagami : in other words, we're just
Kagami : “an opponent for them to train in their spare time”...

Takeuchi : … Hm?
Takeuchi : Why are you putting on your uniform?
Takeuchi : Kise, you won't play!
Kise : Eh?

Page 07

Takeuchi : Even in our school, that gathers aces from all the middle schools
Takeuchi : you're on a completely different level.
Kise (small text) : Wait, coach, stop saying things like that, seriously.

Takeuchi : It's already unfair as it is with just the other regulars playing...
Takeuchi : If you play too, it won't even be a match.

Someone : Wha...
Kise (small text) : Sorry, I'm seriously sorry.
Kise : It's alright, I'll still be on the bench!

Kise : If you just knock this guy off his pedestal, I'll probably play!
Kise : Sorry if that sounds selfish, but...

Kise : If you can't even make me play in this match...
Kise : You'll have no right saying you want to take down the “Generation of Miracles”.

Takeuchi : Hey, Seirin! I'll show you the way to the locker room!

Kuroko : Please stay up.
Kuroko : You will not have to wait for long...

Riko : Err... Excuse me.
Riko : I think it'll be a bit impossible for a warm-up...

Everyone : because I don't think you will be able to afford holding back.

Page 09

Takeuchi : What?

Someone : Well then, we'll start
Someone : The practice match between Seirin high and Kaijou high!

Page 10

Guy : Err... Well..
Guy : I said we're starting...
Guy : Seirin, would you mind getting your fifth player on the court quickly?

Kuroko : Err... We are five here.
Guys : .. Ooeh!!?

Page 11

Guy : woh... What the hell is this guy!?
Guy : He's invisible or what...
Guy : A guy like that is a starting member...!?

Guy : Uwah, I didn't notice him in front of my eyes...
Guy : Such a gloomy guy... Well, that means we only have to take care about that number 10.
Guy : Wait, can that guy actually play basketball!?

Takeuchi : Ridiculous...
Takeuchi : With all that big talk, I thought they were going to make more decent players play.

Kise : … I wonder about that.

Kise : Though, well... He might not be a decent one.

Page 12

Guy : What's wrong, coach...?
Riko : Hmmm!?

Riko : Wait...
Riko : Isn't that looking bad!?

Page 13

Riko : I can't see everything on top of their clothes, but...
Riko : Well, their stats are high altogether...
Riko : We might be completely losing on the physical side...
Riko : Honestly, it's as expected from a team of the national level...

Riko : We've got Kuroko-kun and Kagami-kun on our side, though...
Riko : How much can we use those two's abilities...!?

Guy : Alright!

Guy : Let's start by scoring once!
Guy : Let's make that properly!

Guy : Wha...
Guy : Where did this guy come from!!?

Guys : Whaaat!!?

Guy : … Wait, now that I look at him...
Guy : this guy is slow!!

Guy : Ah!?

Kagami : Take that!!

Page 17

Kagami : Oh?

Page 18

Kagami : Ooh?

Someone : Ooooeeh!!?
Someone : He destroyed the goal!!?

Guy : A bolt was completely rusted...
Guy : That's still not normal!!

Page 19

Kagami : What now, Kuroko?
Kagami : Look at this.
Kagami (small text) : Oh, a hoop is bigger than I thought.
Kuroko : What now...
Kuroko : First, we apologize, and then...
Left : Take that as greetings!!

Kuroko : Sorry, it seems we have broken the goal.
Kuroko : Would you mind if we used the other half of the court?
Bottom : Next issue, Kuroko and Kise... Those two are getting in serious mode!!
