Episode 23:

Not An Adult!


-Teikou Days: Kise's flashback-

Kuroko: … Kise-kun, how about I'll ignite a pass on your guts?

Kise: So mean, Kurokocchi! I didn't really mean it! I was only bored back then!

Akashi: Clearly, Aomine has been a bad influence on you, Kuroko.

Kise: Aominecchi, how did you know that I was a model back then? I thought you don't care about those stuff, and the only magazines you have are those scandalous ones.

Aomine: It was Satsuki. She told me that Murasakibara has a model classmate and showed me a picture.

Momoi: Ah, that one! I think I borrowed it from Micchan. I was pretty curious that we had a model in the batch. But it turned out that Tetsu-kun was better-looking.

Kise: -sweat drops-

Everyone: … 'I really question her tastes.'

Imayoshi: So, back then our Aomine could inspire people to play basketball?

Wakamatsu: But now, people would be too scared to do so once they see his violent play.

Imayoshi: -sigh- Whatever happened to our Aomine.

Susa: I think it's part of being a teenager.

Everyone: 'You're also still teenagers!'


-Game Starts-

Akashi: Kasamatsu-san, when did you find time to stomp on Kise in the middle of an ongoing game?

Wen Liu: And my mind is forever addled whither you found time to take part in lengthy speeches amidst a game.

Everyone:

...

Midorima: You're wrong, Kise. I think Momoi knows the most about Aomine.

Kise: Oh, right. I forgot about that. My bad.


-Teikou Days Flashback-

Kuroko: You said it hurts, but you're having fun. I'm afraid that feeling is called Masochism, Kise-kun.

Kise: Not in that way! Kurokocchi's so mean!

Kuroko: Don't worry, Kise-kun. I understand. I also understand why Aomine-kun couldn't practice much with me anymore. We also used to practice until late. But I guess he preferred his sessions with Kise-kun because it satisfied his sadistic side.

Aomine: What do you mean by that, Tetsu?! That sounds so wrong!

Kise: Kurokocchi!


-Game resumes-

Fukui: Kasamatsu could have just done a fake instead, especially since Imayoshi already jumped first.

Kasamatsu:

Imayoshi:

Aomine: … I don't know which is more powerful: his voice, or his rebound.

Hayakawa: Of cou(r)se bo(t)h! I do my be(s)t at anythi(n)g I do!

Wakamatsu:

Midorima: … Moriyama-san's shots are weird, but so is yours, Sakurai.

Sakurai: I'm sorry!

Takao: Pffft! What are you saying, Shin-chan? Yours is the weirdest!

Mibuchi: Oh no no no, Kazu-chan. I prefer to call Shin-chan's shots as... beautiful~

Midorima: !


-Second quarter-

Murasakibara: Mine-chin, you're running funny. Did you hurt your arm, or were you just missing sweets?

Susa: … 'Yes, it's very true that Imayoshi has a bad and scheming personality. I used to be his dorm neighbor after all, so I know.'


-Kaijo time out-

Fukui: When did Kise mention that something to their coach before the game?

Mayuzumi: He didn't. They are applying a shounen manga/anime/light novel technique that they would suddenly come up with some secret weapon in the middle of the battle, then claim that they already planned about it beforehand.

Fukui: I've always thought those battle scenes in anime are weird. If they already have some powerful technique up their sleeves, they should have immediately used it and be done with it. They spend episodes wasting their time on the same battle.

Mayuzumi: Yeah, but shounen is all about struggle. Plus, there won't be money if they won't prolong it. Why do you think some mangas have been going on for years and years without any end? And people still buy them.

Everyone: … 'When did this become an anime discussion?'


-Ending Song Special Frame-

Akashi: Kasamatsu-san, Kiyoshi-san, and Sakurai, Yellow Team looks pretty normal.

Momoi: Except that Sakurai-kun is afraid of them... for some reason.

Kise: Well, Kasamatsu-senpai can be over-enthusiastic.

Hyuuga: And Kiyoshi is plain weird. No wonder he wants to be as far from him as possible.

Kiyoshi: Eh? I'm not scary. I'm friendly. Ahaha!

Sakurai: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Akashi: I didn't see Aomine and Kagami yet. Which team do they belong?

Aomine: !

Kagami: !

Takao: -trying very hard to control his laughter-


-Last Picture-

Momoi: Aww~ Ki-chan, Da-chan, and especially Tetsu-kun, are so cute~ I miss those days...
