Personally, I think part of me would have preferred that, even though I'm not really bothered that Murasakibara entered the Zone during the Winter Cup rather than during Last Game. Let's just say I don't really have any memorable moments of Murasakibara in the Zone, since it didn't last long.

On one hand, if he entered the Zone against Silver, it might have looked a bit like Aomine entering the Zone for the first time after finding a strong opponent.

Does he have naturally gray-white hair, or is it naturally black?

Because even his first name doesn't help us figure out the origin of his hair color (Hai means “ash,” and since ash is mostly black, gray, or white), and most importantly, he's even dyed HIS EYEBROWS, too, bro! (Even Hyuga, when he dyed his hair, didn’t dye his eyebrows.)

My guess is that his natural hair color is gray-white, to contrast with the GM, who have colored hair—like some kind of GM anomaly.
EDIT : I just thought of this, but my theory that his hair is “turning black”—as if he's self-destructing—since there's no longer a conduit like there was at Teiko... and that burning the shoes led to this staining (since those shoes turned to ashes...)

Hello everyone!

When I was younger I used to watch Kuroko's basket.

The very first ending song of that show is emblematic and there's a young man starring in it. He plays the main character in the music video.

It's called "Start it right away" by Hyadain (Kenichi Maeyamada) in 2012.

I am trying to find any information (full name, social media, or other works) about him

In the official Japanese credits, he is only credited by his first name: Zoe (ゾーイ).

Does anyone recognize him or know his actual full name / modeling agency at the time?

Here is the link to the official music video :https://youtu.be/K8lBBV9ISDw?si=BA537qZMJNu2iOD0

Thanks a lot for your help!

For my part, I'd say Akashi's voice actor (Hiroshi Kamiya) and Kuroko's voice actor (Kensho Ono).

But I also really like Aomine's voice actor (Junichi Suwabe), especially during the moment the Zone first appears.

If Serin played Fukuda instead of Kaijō would Koruko be pissed and if so how pissed would he be? Also would Serin win if they played Fukuda

Just rewatched Last game again and I noticed that Nash has traits of all the G.o.M. In different capacities.

Akashi is the Obvious one as he is the same position, and has his Eye Power

Kuroko is the expert at Passing, and Nash has an instant Motionless pass skill

Aomine is the fastest streetballer we see in the show and Nash has the same level of speedy gameplay, not to mention he and silver both outspeed base Aomine (zone Aomine seems faster than Nash and equal to Silver)

Murisakibara is the master of Defense and Nash Gold is able to block a basket from Every member of Vorpal Swords aside from PC+Zone Kise and full-court Midorima

Kise is blonde, tall and flashy, and Nash has those traits, certainly not perfect copy, but we see Nash copy shots but seemingly more as a taunt

Midorima has no equal or copy, but Nash needs to be double teamed to be shut down, like Midorima does, which weakens the enemy team to a 3v4

Kagami meets his math with Silver, because he can jump just as high, and do more flashy dunks, like his double handed windmill dunk from the free point line. Meteor Jam feels stronger, but Kagami doesn't use it in Last game for some reason.

Rakuzan’s calculated defense pushes Tōō to the brink as Aomine struggles to find his rhythm against Akashi’s relentless strategy. With the gap between the teams growing, the game takes an unexpected turn when Aomine refuses to let the outcome be decided just yet.

At first I originally was just gonna uploaded one episode/chapter/part every Sunday but since I’ve already written the next 9 episodes I’ve decided that I’ll just post 2 each weekend(granted today is Monday but I didn’t have school today so it counts) so expect episode 4 this upcoming Saturday and episode 5 the following day!

I've seen some times when Akashi is using EE he was shocked seeing Takao and Midorima's no look shot. Also during the Seirin match he goes forward to score but backs off after seeing Kagami. My question is if it was precognition why would he try to score to begin with? In that case the best possible outcome sounds better than precognition.

What do you guys think?

Well, I admit that in reality, there was really very little chance of any of the three managing to scrape together a few minutes of playing time.

That said, if I had to guess, Wakamatsu was probably the most likely candidate—especially after Murasakibara's injury. Even though, in the end, Murasakibara was replaced by Kuroko and Vorpal Sword had to play without a center for the remainder of the match.

The Winter Cup finals between Rakuzan and Tōō are officially underway.

just wanted to share my small collection. im hoping to get more. i also have a dakimakura but im not showing that 😗

anyone want to share their faves with me?

edit: spelling

As for me, Teppei, Nijimura or Haizaki.

I think these are all relative characters, PC Kise is "strongest on the court" before Akashi and Nash are Using their Eyes in the end of Last Game, so I'd place him relative to the Eye guys (cause he technically has his own) And the Eyes break the power scaling.

Jason seems stronger than Aomine but wasnt able to keep up with Perfect copy Kise.. Kagami is about equal to Aomine. Kagami seems really nerfed in Last game, not using his meteor Jam or Deep zone, so I'd put him around the same area but certainly below Aomine who is able to show off as usual.

Mido is the craziest scorer, so I put him above muri, even tho full power Muri (who we see for about 10 seconds) was competing with Jason silver. Kuroko is a support mon, so he isnt that scary but is at least more of a contirbution to his team than Himuro or Haizaki, who were relative to Kagami and Kise before Last game.

Hyuga is just blow uncrowned kings level, and Teppei seems more impactful. than the others and Imayoshi seems stronger than most of the normal ordinary players, so he benchmarks the rest of the series characters.

In the manga it was outdoors, but honestly kinda prefer the anime version. Kinda felt like an NBA game and more theatrical.

I think that for me:

Favorite Inter High Match : Too VS Kaijo

Favorite Winter Cup Match : Rakuzan VS Seirin

But honorable mention to Shutoku VS Seirin round 1 and Shutoku VS Rakuzan

Post Last Game, is Akashi better than Nash? Would a practicing Aomine (like in last game with inf stamina) be a match for either of these players?

1v1 is obviously different than team play, like how Midorima + Takao or Kuroko + Kagami was able to beat Akashi, but in the 1s, is Aomine or Silver even in the same conversation as the Eye Guys?

Seirin really got the best bench warmers of all time though ngl

For me, it’s probably the Winter Cup.

I think it’s partly because the conclusion Inter High felt somewhat anticlimactic; the story moved on quickly since the Generation of Miracles didn't play in the semi-finals or finals, and Seirin was eliminated early. Even if it's to keep the mystery surrounding Rakuzan intact.

I imagine it's also due to the fact that my favorite matches in the series are Rakuzan vs. Shutoku and Seirin vs. Rakuzan, which are Winter Cup matches.

After rereading *Extra Game*, I realized that Nash and Silver are psychopaths (worse than some), but I didn’t remember it being that bad in the movie.

And the reason is simply that in the movie *Last Game*, the beginning and end differ from the manga. They cut out a lot of scenes involving them that I found quite shocking.

• For instance on the manga, the Jabberwocks single-handedly destroy a bar (and probably beat up people in the process),
• Nash, who gets angrier when people contradict him, smashes a table just because one of his teammates asked if he was going to practice lol.
• Silver is portrayed as obnoxious and a womanizer (very toxic), and there are scenes where he “forces” a woman to kiss him even though he stops just as the guy makes a remark.

In the anime, these scenes don’t exist; they just imply that they’re causing a ruckus (without giving the impression that they’re breaking furniture in the establishment or causing physical harm to people). It just gives you the impression that these are guys who think they’re above everyone else in basketball (like the GM, last year at Teiko), but they have dont hold back their words (I’m still shocked that in the manga, Nash tells them to bring back the kids for the match only to tell them to go kill themselves right after)

Whereas with Haizaki’s introduction in the anime (https://www.reddit.com/r/KurokosBasketball/s/pOUmYBdfG2), there was a shift that turned him from a womanizer into an “aggressor”, completely changing the character;

In *Last Game*, they “erased” the obnoxious behaviors related to Jason Silver’s “sex-obsessed” side and Jabberwock-wrecking tendencies.

Why, in this case, did they remove scenes like that?

^{It might be problematic, but I find it hard to believe given what they did to Haizaki. Or maybe he film’s 1 hour and 30-minute runtime}

Made all the winter cup rosters in 2k and thought this was funny

For my part, these would be my choices. Some choices were easier, like Kagami in Gryffindor, Midorima in Ravenclaw, or Akashi in Slytherin.

I think Aomine and Kise belong in Gryffindor... That seems plausible to me compared to the other houses. And even though I put Kuroko in Ravenclaw, I think he could fit into Gryffindor too. And Murasakibara in Hufflepuff... I'd say why not... I think it could suit him.

Caveats are you can only use 1 UK at the highest to win (meaning no Haizaki, Himuro, Kagami, etc).

My team (hear me out)
Kiyoshi at pg
Hyuga at sg
Tsugawa moves from the sg-sf
Hayakawa at pf (Controlling rebounds something something…)
Okamura at my center

We running a pretty big team. Gameplan is have Tsugawa on Rukawa and make it as hard as possible for him to score. Hyuga likely can’t stop Mitsui from scoring as much as he wants but he can respond with threes of his own. Dealing with Sakuragi, I matched Hayakawa on him to match the energy abt rebounding and challenge him. Kiyoshi being matched up against Miyagi is a mismatch for a decent shooter like Kiyoshi, which means they’re gonna be forced to switch consistently (although idk if Kiyoshi has the foot speed to deal with Miyagi on defense) Okamura at the 5 means Akagi can’t just feast in the paint and has to worry abt a couple of big bodies at all times.
