Kuroko no Basket 9

I'm praying to Haruhi-sama and Konata-sama that this one isn't going to be canceled, because I seriously love both translating and reading it. It has the potential to become a great manga, so I just hope it'll stay with us for a long while >.<

Even if I have to wiki all the basketball terminology >.>;

Enjoy~

Kuroko chapter 09

Page 01

Left : The path to victory... We'll open it up as a team!!
9th Quarter : I made a promise

Page 02

Right : Kuroko, recovered!! How will the match go now...!?
Kuroko : Well then, I am going.

Riko : Wait, wait, it's impossible no matter what! You're injured, right!
Riko : Look at how unsteady you are!

Kuroko : But the coach said I should go now...
Riko : I didn't! It was only a “what if”!
Kuroko : … then I am going.
Riko : Hey!

Kuroko : The situation will change if I go back on the court, so
Kuroko : I beg of you... On top of that,

Page 03

Kuroko : I made a promise
Kuroko : to become Kagami-kun's shadow.

Riko : Alright...!
Riko : But if I think it's even a little bit dangerous, I'm substituting you immediately!

Page 04

Guy : A rear car!!?

Guy : Shit... We're playing rock, paper, scissors at each traffic light to decide who pedals...
Guy : Why has it never been your turn yet!?

Guy : That's... a matter of course.
Guy : Since they said in the horoscope this morning that it'd be the best day for my sign, Cancer.
Guy : Is that really related!?
(Trivia note : the guy here is drinking a can of oshiruko, red bean soup. There's probably a bit of a pun here because the ru and ro characters are similar, so in this panel, you can read what's written on the can as shiroko, which is a play on kuroko (kuro=black, shiro=white). Izuki isn't the only one who likes weird puns, it seems xD)

Guy : by the guy, going all the way just to watch a training match,
Guy : Are the guys from your middle school that strong!?

Guy : A copycat... and an invisible man.
Guy : That's supposed to be strong!?

Page 05

Guy : Come on, hurry up! The match is almost over!
Guy : It's probably the fourth quarter already!
Guy : That's because you wasted time watching your horoscope, you know!!

Page 06-07 (spread)

Kasamatsu : We got used to it, but he got back to the invisibility he had from the start...!
Kasamatsu : Is it because he wasn't playing for the last 20 minutes...!?

Someone : Wooh, are you kidding!?
Someone : They're catching up...!?

Someone : It can't be...
Someone : You must be kidding...!?

Page 08

Someone : Same score...!?

Someone : They tied!?
Someone : Seirin has finally caught up!!

Kise : They tied!?

Page 09

Kagami : This guy... His aura has changed...!?

Kagami : Kuroko...

Page 10

Riko : Wha...

Page 11

Kise : I won't lose.
Kise : Not to Kuroko, not to anyone.

Kagami : This guy... can still become stronger!?
Kagami : He even saw through Kuroko's pass!?

Hyuuga : Geez... I hope you're fired up, guys.
Hyuuga : Because until the end of the match, it'll be just like in the first quarter...

Page 12

Hyuuga : A struggle for points!!

Page 13

I love these pages <3

Page 14

Someone : Waaah, the score is still even!?

Kasamatsu : Damn...! They're stubborn...!!
Kasamatsu : Let's finish them!!

Hyuuga : We don't have time!! Go after them!!
Hyuuga : If we don't steal the ball now, it's over!!

Izuki : Yeah!!!

Page 15

Kuroko : Kagami-kun
Kuroko : Just a moment.

Kuroko : If we can steal the ball now,
Kuroko : There is one more way so that Kise-kun can't copy.

Riko : There's less than 10 seconds left... We don't have enough stamina left for overtime!!
Riko : Don't just defend!!
Riko : Attack them!!!

Hyuuga : Damn!

Page 16

Kasamatsu : Wha...

Someone : Waah, they stole it!!
Someone : Seriously!?

Page 17

Kagami : Kuroko!!

Kise : Kurokocchi won't shoot!
Kise : There's no other way but for him to send the ball back to Kagami...!?

Page 18

Someone : … He missed his pass!?

Kasamatsu : … no!!

Kasamatsu : It's a alley-oop!!

Page 19

Kise : I won't let you!!

Kise : He...!?
Kise : How long...!?

Kise : We've jumped at the same time, but I'm falling first...!?
Kise : What the hell, how long is he gonna stay in midair...!?

Kuroko : It is a simple way that can only be used once, but...

Kagami : You won't copy anything anymore!!
Kagami : Because...

Page 20-21 (spread)

Kuroko : If you just score a buzzer beater, it will be alright.
(Xophien's terminology note : Scoring when the buzzer sounds the end of the match. I had to wiki it >.>)

Kagami : I'll end it with that!!!
Left : The “first player”, Kise... was completely crushed!!
Right of the board : Kaijou
Left of the board : Seirin
Bottom : Next issue, what is left after the fierce battle... And then, the “second player” appears...!?
