| Void's secret has been exposed and Kagami forces Akashi to do nothing. So Akashi has entered the Zone! He can freakin' three-on-one the Uncrowned Kings! Damn, Akashi stole the ball mid-jump. But fist bumps will give Kagami the will to fight. He'll obviously be able to open the second door. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
ibear said: bigivelfhq said: Once again, it's a skip dribble. He never stopped dribbling, just took a skipping step.He took 2 steps with the ball in his hand(the ball is in his hand in the beginning of the move, he falls with both feet and than starts dribbling) , that is totally a dribbling violation  But this is only an anime error, in the manga he just looks up making the fake. They wanted things to look cooler and it ended slightly wrong. The anime does a lot of those, so is better not to look deep on it. Kuroko isn't even a deep in the rules series so is better not even to think about it. The things is that it wasn't one step, but two. So is not a skip Dribble. A skip Dribble you're calling is simple a change of pace dribble. What I'm seeing here is dribble-1 long step-2 short step-dribble, it should be dribble-1 long or short step-dribble. What I'm seeing his: he steps with his right foot, steps(fall) his left foot, dribbles, rotates with his left foot as pivot, dribbles. This is a violation. With this he should stop dribbling and his right foot become is pivot. Its seems you're seeing: he steps with his right-foot, dribbles, steps(fall) his left foot, rotates with his left foot as pivot, dribbles. I'm just not seeing where is the dribble between the right foot step and the left foot step! |
| Akashi ran like an abnormal titan at the end there. 5/5 |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Lol Akashi, you can play on your own. Seriously, he can make anyone kneel before him. I don't even know how is that not against the rules but oh well. The episode was amazing! Hyuuga was super-duper cool! And Teppei giving his all despite that injury is always admirable. |
 |
| A Zone greater than the Zone, lol xD |
 |
| The tease was more hype than the actual thing.. Meh.. Even the animation sucked balls. And also, that foul of Akashi.. -_- |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Akashi having the built almost the same a Kuruko, but able to beat three of Rakuzans best players looked absolutely absurd The rest was nice |
| YESSS FINALLY Akashi is in the zone! Even Aomine was shocked. xDDD OMG from now this gonna be even more epic. I can't wait to see the zone!Kagami vs zone!Akashi fight. |
| Yo dawg, i heard you liked Zones, so I put a zone inside your zone so you can enter the zone while you're in the zone of the zone. Rurushu88 said: a zone inside a zone inside a zone inside a zone ...... ZoneCiption Lol. Pretty much. This Zone inside the zone is such a bullshit. Next on Kagami's basketball. The zone inside the zone of the zone inside the zone is unleashed. straggy said: lmao, god, Akashi manages to reach new levels of far fetched bullshit every single episode. His pretentious speeches don't even mean anything anymore - he's just spewing out long sentences of nothing at this point. Like, "the trigger to enter this state is my will to guarantee grasping victory by my actions and not by commanding others to do so"? Really? I'm pretty sure if you squeezed him too hard he'd fart out the dummy's guide to sounding like a tosser. Why, is Kagami any different with his "i'll just go so deep in the zone that i will put a zone inside the zone, why the fuck not am the real main and the title is wrong anyway" bullshit? |

| Not sure about the rest of you, But I totally enjoyed seeing Kagami get owned by Akashi!! Too much emphasis on Kagami, seriously, is he the super saiyan of KNB? Someone pass Kuroko a senzu bean; PLEASE!. |
| ahhh i'm so frickking pumped rn!!!! |
| So much bullshit. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| DAMN THAT WAS AWESOME Hyuga kicked Reo's ass and Teppei playing like a beast (damaging his knee even further...). Kagami's still a beast *.* Akashi in the Zone, at last. He is such a fucking hatable character..., but we gotta hand it to him... That was damn op, maybe even too op... Even Kagami wasn't able to stop him... YET GO SEIRINNNNNN, IKE KAGAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII *.* *.* *.* *.* Oh, and this:  |

| yeah Akashi's Zone. I've been waiting to see this ever since I learned about Zone lol. It's always fun to see both people who're in it fight. But damn his moves really are too flashy. Passing that ball half-court like it's some tennis ball. Then stealing the ball from Kagami without moving an inch. And then ordering people to kneel? wut? that hypnosis or..?? Anyway, I'm sure Kagami will open no matter how many doors there are in the Zone then he'll trash that obnoxious Akashi |

I know you can.....<3<3<3 the things are getting more and more interesting kagamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii<3 I smell a Kagami fangirl. |
| Damn, Akashi went beast mode! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Dang, Akashi got such a gigantic boost from his zone. Even Aomine in his zone didn't get past Kagami than easily. |
 |
| Akashi in the zone! wow and he has to just give up on his friends to get in it, niiiiice lol. Aomine saying there is another door and another version of the zone, well okay then. Great episode! I wonder how Seirin will win D: |
 |
| Akashi with that still-standing steal on Kagami was pretty badass. |
| LMAO and i thought this zone shit couldn't get anymore ridiculous |
| Dayum, Akashi in the zone is invincible!!! "a zone greater than the zone" I wonder if this series will reach Prince of tennis level then LOL |
 |
| Akashi still my favo char :3 |

| Akashi's Zone was definitely befitting of captain of the Gen of Miracles :O Plot Twist: the mysterious guy in front of the 2nd gate guarding is Kuroko LOL xD |

| Only 2 minutes have passed since the start of the 4th quarter, this is gonna be long. I can't wait to see how the 2nd Zone will be! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| This must be the longest 1 minute and 40 seconds in anime history. |

Like, "the trigger to enter this state is my will to guarantee grasping victory by my actions and not by commanding others to do so"? Really? I'm pretty sure if you squeezed him too hard he'd fart out the dummy's guide to sounding like a tosser. indeed. i have no idea where he gets this nonsensical pride from.yes it was briefly touched on before with his father and his expectations of him, but akashi takes this ideal and twists it to another dimension. his dialogue is even worse than his middle school days. he's not intimidating at all. he's just a fat mouth that needs to stfu the entire game. in fact i argue if akashi rarely talked that would be better of his character. communication is important in basketball and games in general, but a realistic view on basketball was legt at the door on episode one. so there could have been a way for that to happen. straggy said: lmao @ people calling Kagami the ass-pull when Akashi's entire character is a guy who's the height and build of a slender woman but is magically the ultra best at basketball and also has a magic eye gifted by his demonic second personality. Kagami's a guy that trained in basketball in America and is tall with a muscular build. They've already established he's good at the game, really good. The concept of him being so desperate to win that he manages to unlock new power that's literally just based on strengthening his already obvious ability isn't the stupidest thing this show has ever done by far. again facts. ------- as you may have already guessed from above, akashi is extremely annoying to me. also, his zone is virtually the same as aomine's, the only difference is that he makes people "kneel" or "obey" him on the stage? he has the power of rai within him or something? so it's not impressive at all. all this hype for nothing. and kagami being in the zone for so long has big problems for me. 1, he's still very young into the game. he's only used zone once before and didn't really know how to control it. 2, he stays in it WAY too long for his second time and we get NO explanation on how this is possible. 3, we see akashi reach his zone and kagami try to fight him off...just how long is akashi's zone supposed to last? the same question goes to kagami. some of you may have forgotten he's still a new player. i don't want the sourheaded cockhead akashi to win, but facts are facts. he should win by a mile going against someone so wet eared. also, WTF is the grey haired guy so salty about akashi for? "Once your player is useless, you throw him away....how spoiled of you, Akashi." WHAT THE FU**? it's a GAME. we're here to WIN. and if you can't find a way to make yourself useful to win a game, WTF do you want to happen? you just want to take up useless space on stage??? if a piece of bread is molded, you're "spoiled" if you throw it away? FOH with that BS. it's just another way to convince the audience that akashi is somehow so evil and scawwy and wrong in what he's doing, none of which annoy me. still an interesting arc, and i don't even care about zone 2 that much (although i feel it was a shoved in plotpoint aomine couldn't reach it when we all know he should have been able to). i just can't stand this over pretentiousness of akashi. |

| Akashi's Zone was beautifully animated, but I gotta admit the kneeling part was kinda cringy. They waited for the last few episodes to mention something like the true zone. |
| i hope i'm not the only one to think that akashi gave up too easy to use his zone, either way, it were just awesome, though i thought only those who can enjoy the game can open it, and akashi doesn't seems like one. so kagami going to go the zone beyond the zone? that's going to be epic. i really liked how aaomine describes it. and i also hope it won't be the end for kuroko in this game. |
| You would expect Hyuga to ask Riko to hold his hands, but nope, give him a good slap instead. And well, here we are Akashi abandoning his whole team.( interesting that his trigger for the Zone is the opposite of Kagami's) Man, that's some ridiculous OPness. Him soloing Seirin like that was definitely replay worthy. The kneel part was especilly wild. The lore from Aomine was hype too. Amazing how this match can keep up the intensity all the way. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| At this point I’m just holding on tight to the Seirin train & ignoring all BS just to get to the end of the match. Akashi is dope & all but I just don’t buy it. So what exactly does he do?????? I guess he’s actually a master at hypnosis & ??????? I almost rolled my eyes when he made them kneel down. I actually hate Emperor Eye. This match is epic, for all the wrong reasons lol I just love this match for showing more of the other Seirin players but that’s about it. And Hayama is fucking cutezzzzzzz Disappointed at Akashi’s character, if I had to be honest. I guess just saying fake deep stuff makes you formidable & OP. No hate to Kamiyan tho, he nailed it as Akashi. Aomine trying to describe the zone beyond the zone is EVERYTHING. This guy fucks. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Zone deeper than the Zone... What gives? I'm really sad about the whole story's set-up, if Kagami was around since the start of the GoM, we'd probably see Zone 2 Daiki. That would be the perfect timeline I guess. |
  |
| Putting in Hyuga was the right choice after all. Uncrowned kings no longer making any difference to the course of the match, thanks to him and Kiyoshi. Though that's what proved out to be the trigger to yet another hype moment, Akashi's Zone. Those couple of minutes of him owning everyone on either sides of the team was pure eye candy. Nevermind the zone dynamics getting out of hand, like seriously they are lol, I just wish to see that SUPER ZONE. HIZAMAZUKE/5 |
 |
| Akashi is in the zone and Hyuga is back in the game which is a good thing ofc, but with Akashi apparently getting to a higher level of zone its going to take Kagami all he has to beat him. |
 |
| "The Zone" concept is so ridiculous, it's hard to take seriously. Especially the arbitrary rules they throw out there, then later down the line make up new ones (like with Akashi & him just deciding he gets to be in it... you know, when they explicitly stated that's the exact opposite of how it works). Not that it matters, it's still goofy. In real basketball, saying someone "is in the zone" is just a term for being focused, dialed in, ready to go, playing well, etc. etc. etc. but these guys talk about it like it's a super power you use at will lol No big deal, it's anime after all, but Akashi's use of it was just too absurd. Throwing out that quick flashback to justify him suddenly using it in this game, then him running by people & saying "kneel" which made them just fall on their knees?! HAHAHAHA what the hell basketball move is that?! At least with most of the other super power nonsense, you could kind of make a connection to some real world analog to compare them to. But that? No chance. The "Emperor Eye" was already bad enough in that regard, but at least you could pretend it's like a super special crossover or something (half these players special moves boil down to a crossover though). But making everyone around him just fall to their knees because you get near them or tell them to? HILARIOUS |
