Kuroko no Basket 6

Kuroko's quite easier to translate next to Meister, actually. About 20% less text (and the fact it's not my first basketball manga >.>), as far as translating goes, I think I like Kuroko better than Meister~

Either way, enjoy~

Kuroko chapter 06

Page 01

Left : Deceiving the opponent like a phantom is Kuroko Tetsuya's special skill... But it has a weak point!?
6th Quarter : It's perfect if I can't win

Page 02

Right : “This guy has a weak point”... With Kuroko and Kise knowing the extent of the other's powers, let's go to the match's climax!!

Hyuuga : If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier...
Kuroko : No... honestly, it isn't something you can call a weak point, but...

Kuroko : More importantly, I am sorry.
Kuroko : There is one more problem...
Hyuuga : Eh?

Kuroko : With that higher pace than expected,
Kuroko : I am starting to lose my efficiency already.

Page 03

Kise : This guy's misdirection
Kise : isn't something he can use for the whole 40 minutes.

Kasamatsu : Misdi... what!?
Kise : The number 11, the invisible guy.
Kise : It's not like he's using magic or anything like that.

Kise : To put it roughly,
Kise : he's just turning attention away from himself.
Kise : For an instant, even I am able to do that too.

Page 04

Kise : Please look at me.

Kise : See? You weren't looking anymore.
Kasamatsu : Ah!

Kise : Kurokocchi uses things like this together with his above average perception
Kise : And makes himself disappear like an illusion, acting only as a relay for passes.

Kise : Well, even if he didn't do that, he's already hard to notice from the start, but...

Kise : You see, if he uses it too much, you get used to it.
Kise : it'll keep getting less and less effective.

Page 05

Riko : Why didn't you say such an important thing from the start!!
Kuroko : I am sorry, you didn't ask...
Riko : If we don't ask, you won't say anything, you bastard!!?

Riko : But I was careless too!!
Riko : There was no way a weird skill like that was without risks...!!

Guy : Timeout is over!!
Riko : It ended while I was strangling Kuroko-kun!!

Page 06

Kagami : I'll just keep marking the same guy like now... please!
Kagami : With a bit more time, I'll find a way to take him down.
Riko : Ah, wait... Kagami-kun!
Riko (small text) : And what's with that weird way of asking things?
Riko : Damn!

Riko : Anyway, switch the defense from man-to-man to zone!
Riko : Strengthen the middle, and help if Kise-kun is coming!
Riko : Getting in Kise's way comes first!!
Seirin : Alright!

Riko : And, Kuroko-kun, slow down the pace.
Riko : As long as they don't get a huge point difference.
Riko : Can you do it?
Kuroko : I will try.

Page 07

Riko : Aah, I've made a fool of myself...
Riko : We're only halfway through the first quarter, calling a second timeout now would be too stupid, I can't do that...
Box : There are two timeouts in the first half (1st, 2nd quarters) and up to three in the second half (3rd, 4th quarters)

Kise : Oh?

Page 08

Guy : Oh
Guy : they're strengthening the center...!

Kasamatsu : Pretty much a box-and-one defense
Kasamatsu : Everyone following that number 10 and aiming to stop Kise, huh?
*A defense formation with one player marking an opponent, the others playing zone defense.

Kasamatsu : I'm getting bored, geez.

Page 09

Someone : Ooh, a sudden three-pointer!!
Someone : Nice, Kasamatsu!!
Someone : Nice, Kasamatsu!!

Page 10

Kasamatsu : Are you looking down on Kaijou's regulars?
Kasamatsu : There's a limit to how naive you can be.

Hyuuga : … fff... damn...
Hyuuga : It's seriously
Hyuuga : becoming hard...

Guy : Defense!
Guy : Defense!

Page 11

Kagami : Kh....

Page 12

Kasamatsu : I see...
Kasamatsu : We're slowly getting used to it...

Guy : Shit...

Guy : the gap is increasing
Guy : bit by bit...
Board right : Kaijou
Board left : Seirin

Page 13

Kagami : Gh...!

Someone : Out of bounds!!
Someone : The ball is for the white team!!

Kise : … isn't it about time you admit it?
Kise : As you are right now, it's 10 years too early for you to challenge the Generation of Miracles.

Kagami : What...!?

Page 14

Kise : With the point difference right now, you won't be able to catch up.

Kise : More than the team's formation or strategy,
Kise : basketball is first a sport about “size”

Kise : If you compare your five players to ours, the difference in size and ability is too big.

Kise : The only one that could have been able to face us is you, but
Kise : I've pretty much seen the extent of your strength already.

Page 15

Kise : I'll acknowledge your potential.
Kise : But you're still no match for me.
Kise : No matter what kind of technique you use, as long as I see it, I'll pay you back twice as much immediately.

Kise : No matter how much you struggle, you can't win against me.
Kise : Well... Just remember that reality isn't such a sweet thing.

Kagami : Ku...

Page 16

Kagami : kukuku
Kagami : haha...

Kagami : Hahahahaha...!!

Page 17

Kagami : Sorry, sorry, I was quite a bit happy, you know...
Kagami : Because it's been a while since I last met a guy who said something like that.

Kagami : Well, this was the usual in America, though.
Kise : Eh!? You went to America!?
Kise (small text) : Awesome!!
Kagami : I just jumped to the conclusion, when I came back to Japan and took my distance from basketball.
Kagami : I regret that now.

Kagami : After all, life is all about challenges!

Page 18

Kagami : Without strong opponents, living isn't fun.
Kagami : It's perfect if I can't win

Kagami : I'm not done! It starts from now!
Kagami : Don't you think it's too early for the cheesy talk?

Kagami : Thanks to that I've understood your weak point.

Kagami : I guess I can understand
Kagami : Why this guy didn't want to say it himself.

Page 19

Kagami : You can do anything as long as you see it? How about when you don't see it, then?
Kagami : Since he's so hard to notice from the beginning,
Kagami : Doing the same thing is impossible, right?

Kagami : Even for a guy with physical abilities like yours,
Kagami : no matter how much you can try to go unnoticed, you can't use this basketball style.
Left : He saw it!! An opening!!

Kagami : … In other words
Kuroko (small text) : What are you doing?
Kagami : It's this guy, right! (small text : your weak point!)
Bottom : Next issue, Kagami and Kuroko starts their counterattack!! What will Kise do!?
