Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

As the plot of "Slam Dunk" progresses steadily, the roster of the Shohoku basketball team is also gradually being completed.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, a red-haired, simple-minded boy with extraordinary talent but a complete novice;

Sharp-tongued and taciturn, with dazzling basketball skills, Rukawa Kaede is possessed by the god of sleep;

The short, agile point guard, Ryota Miyagi;

Despite their different personalities, they create a wonderful chemistry in the basketball court.

Especially Sakuragi and Miyagi.

Because we both suffer from heartbreak.

The two quickly formed a breakup alliance.

The comment section is currently filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere:

"Seriously, watching 'Slam Dunk' is so much more comfortable! No need to worry about getting ripped off!"

"I just crawled out of the life lessons I learned from 'CLANNAD,' and I desperately need Sakuragi, that lovable character, to cheer me up!"

"Everbright finally showed mercy and gave us a hilarious, absurd, and exciting basketball anime that we can laugh out loud!"

"Rukawa Kaede! My destined husband! He's so handsome even when he's sleeping! (Hiss!)"

"The brotherly bond between Miyagi and Sakuragi after their breakups is hilarious! They're both in the same boat, why bother with formalities?"

Captain Akagi: I can't carry them, I really can't... (I'm exhausted)

However, they all forgot.

Or they selectively ignore the fact that products from the Land of Light are never that simple.

this day

The basketball team during training.

Delinquent teenager Mitsui Hisashi and his gang surrounded the basketball court.

He came to cause trouble, and his target was Miyagi Ryota.

A conflict was about to erupt inside the basketball court.

On the other side, Yohei single-handedly took down the thugs who had taken him away. He decided to first gather the Sakuragi Army and then go to the basketball court to find out what was going on.

Inside the basketball court, facing the relentless pressure and insults from Mitsui and his group, Miyagi clenched his fists but endured it all.

Because of the strict school rules, if a basketball team member gets involved in a fight, regardless of who is right or wrong, the team may face the risk of being forced to disband.

For the sake of the team, he gritted his teeth and even took the initiative to bow his head and apologize to Mitsui.

However, the thugs became increasingly arrogant.

The other burly man leading the group was named Tie Nan.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and kicked the basketball with utter disdain, his words dripping with insults towards the sport of basketball.

Rukawa Kaede, who had been leaning against the wall as if indifferent to everything, finally raised his eyelids.

He didn't say anything, but just grabbed the basketball next to him and slammed it hard at Iron Man with all his might!

"Bang!"

The basketball struck Iron Man squarely in the chest, the force of which caused him to stagger.

"court death!"

Iron Man was furious.

Rukawa Kaede rushed forward and began fighting with a thug named "A-Long" next to Tetsuo.

On the other side, seeing Rukawa Kaede make a move, Mitsui finally couldn't hold back and threw a punch at Miyagi.

Tetsuo coldly handed a heavy iron mop to Mitsui.

Sakuragi, who had been holding back, lost the last trace of hesitation in his eyes when he saw that his opponent had actually used a "weapon".

He roared.

"You bunch of bastards—!!!"

They charged forward like wild beasts.

He grabbed the mop handle that Mitsui was swinging at him, and with terrifying strength, he did so to the astonishment of the crowd.

"Click"

The iron mop handle was bent.

The chaotic battle has now fully erupted!

Miyagi saw that the thugs dared to touch and harass the team manager, Ayako.

The pent-up anger finally erupted and he joined the fray.

The basketball team members and the thugs engaged in a fierce "gymnasium brawl".

The basketball players mingled with the thugs.

And Mitsui Hisashi, the delinquent leader who brought his men to cause trouble.

He performed exceptionally poorly in this chaotic battle.

"Goodness! Everyone's showing off, except Mitsui, who's getting beaten up! (laughing and crying)"

Mitsui: I'm the one who brought people to block the door, so why am I always the one who gets beaten up the most?!

"Hilarious! Did Mitsui bring people here to get beaten up? Every time the camera cuts to him, he's either on the ground or getting punched?"

"If I were Mitsui, I would have surrendered immediately! Where is the dignity in this fight?!"

"Damn it! These thugs are too arrogant! If it were when I was young... (rolls up his sleeves)"

"Save your breath, uncle. If you go up there now, you'll just be a scapegoat for Mitsui."

"Damn it! These thugs are bullying us! If it were me, I'd fight them!"

"Calm down, upstairs! You're obviously a hot-blooded high school student! At times like this, lying down and admitting defeat... no, I mean tactically collapsing to the ground is the safest thing to do!"

Iron Man's fighting ability is amazing; even the basketball players are no match for him in one-on-one combat.

Even Sakuragi, with his abnormal physical abilities, suffered under Tetsuo's fierce attacks.

In the critical moment, the stadium doors were kicked open again!

"Sakuragi—!! We're here!!"

Yohei and the Sakuragi Army have finally arrived!

The thugs no longer have an advantage.

Mitsui Hisashi was targeted by Yohei, who gave him a friendly beating, leaving him bruised and battered.

Just then, Akagi Takenori, who had heard the commotion, also arrived at the basketball court.

Without further ado, Akagi raised his hand.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Three extremely loud slaps landed squarely on Mitsui's face!

"Aka...wood?"

Mitsui murmured.

Everyone was stunned.

Did Akagi and Mitsui know each other?

……

It turns out that Mitsui Hisashi was once a member of the basketball team, and a true genius at that.

During his junior high school years, he was the ace player of Wushi Junior High School and the MVP of the prefectural tournament.

In a match against a strong opponent, Yokota Junior High School, the team was far behind with little time left, and even the teammates almost gave up.

It was Mitsui who loudly encouraged his teammates and, with 12 seconds left, made a game-winning shot that went down in history, leading the team to a miraculous comeback!

When he entered high school, Mitsui gave up several prestigious basketball schools and resolutely joined the little-known Shohoku High School.

At the time, Mitsui was determined to lead his team to national domination, and basketball rookie Takenori Akagi shared the same dream.

Although Akagi was no match for Mitsui at that time.

But his dedication and perseverance in basketball are second to none.

During a training session with Akagi, Mitsui accidentally injured his left knee.

While hospitalized, Kogure learned the reason why Mitsui joined Shohoku.

It turns out that Mitsui had received encouragement from Coach Anzai during the match against Yokota.

However, in the final moments of that match, even Mitsui thought victory was hopeless and wanted to give up.

However, Coach Anzai, who was watching the game, held up the ball and encouraged Mitsui.

"Never give up hope until the very last moment."

"If you give up, the game is over."

It was these words that rekindled Mitsui's faith and enabled him to turn the tide and deliver the decisive blow against Yokota.

Coach Anzai became the only basketball mentor he truly respected.

Eager to make a comeback and catch up with the prefectural tournament, Mitsui secretly practiced behind the backs of his doctor and coach, which caused his injury to repeatedly worsen and ultimately caused him to miss the prefectural tournament.

As he leaned on his cane, he watched Akagi on the court gradually transform from clumsy to reliable.

Watching the team fight without him.

A profound sense of loss and the illusion of being abandoned consumed this proud genius.

He felt that basketball had betrayed him.

Or rather, he can no longer catch up with the version of himself that was once invincible on the court.

From then on, Mitsui Hisashi disappeared from the basketball court.

He grew his hair long and mingled in the streets and alleys.

He used rebellion and violence to numb himself and became a delinquent youth named Mitsui Hisashi.

Even his earlier conflict with Miyagi stemmed from Mitsui seeing a reflection of his past self in Miyagi.

"Mitsui, you've always liked basketball, haven't you?"

Tokuo actually realized that Mitsui had never given up on basketball.

However, Mitsui refused to admit it.

He punched De Nan.

"Screw your basketball dream."

Inside the basketball court, Kogure watched as his former idol, a senior, had become like this.

He rushed forward, his emotions running high, grabbed Mitsui's clothes tightly, and demanded an explanation:

"Mitsui! Didn't you say you were going to dominate the whole country?!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to become the best in the country and lead Shohoku to keep getting stronger?!"

"Why...why have you become like this?! Why could you so easily throw away your dreams?!"

These words pierced Mitsui's heart like needles.

He shoved Kogure away, unwilling to face it.

At this moment, Miyagi stepped forward, walked slowly, and spoke to Mitsui.

"Actually... the person who has never been able to face the past is yourself, Mitsui-senpai."

When Mitsui was moved by Kogure and Miyagi's words.

A kind voice came from behind.

"Oh dear, why is the door closed? Open it quickly!"
