Seirin is increasingly difficult because of the pass from Mayuzumi that makes it easier for Rakuzan to continue scoring.
Kuroko keeps an eye on Mayuzumi.
Riko then replaced Mitobe with Furihata who was always nervous. They were all so shocked by the influx of Furihata that they considered very weak.
But with the inclusion of Furihata was very helpful to Seirin. Furihata also managed to adjust himself on the field.
Rakuzan asks for a time out. When he arrived at the bench, Furihata immediately fell down suddenly. He no longer has stamina.
Riko replaced it. Fukuda replaced Furihata.
Rakuzan leads the numbers and enlarges the difference with Seirin. Fukuda was exhausted so he was replaced with Kawahara.
Rakuzan further cornered Seirin. Riko was also frustrated, he did not know what to do anymore.
The match entered the second round. Koganei came in to replace Kawahara. Seirin still had not given up. They are still trying to score numbers.
On the other hand, Rakuzan seeks to destroy Seirin. Hyuga has committed four fouls, he was immediately replaced with another player.
Seirin was falling into despair. Riko immediately asked for a time out.
"I want to win!" Said Kuroko who stood up from her seat which made them all pay attention to her. "Even if it's free, or impossible. But I want to be number 1 in Japan with you." Further.
Kuroko then approached Riko.
"Coach, please." Kuroko.
Kuroko went back into the field.
"If you think you still have a chance to win, you're too optimistic." Akashi.
"That's not what I think. I play because I want to win. That's all!" Kuroko. "Whatever the end result will be, I won't run!" Continue with a serious face.
"Is that? Stupid determinations that mean nothing." Akashi.
With the entry of Kuroko, again made Seirin not give up. It brings back the spirit of the rest of the team.
Kuroko makes use of Mayuzumi who is the center of attention to make her existence difficult to know.
Slowly, Kuroko restores her thin existence. Kagami also re-entered the zone. Seirin continued to catch up with the strength of the shadow and light.
Rakuzan asks for a time out. Rei immediately helped his team members by giving ice packs and massaging the team members who played with the help of reserve team members.
Rakuzan still plays Mayuzumi. Akashi only uses Mayuzumi to make it easier for him to pass the ball.
'You're really mean, Akashi. You better not put it in if you just make a pass to make it easier to pass the ball.' The inner Rei who disliked Akashi's thinking.
Izuki and Koganei showed their abilities. Izuki successfully confronts Hayama and Koganei despite failing to face Mibuchi, his movements while facing Mibuchi make Hyuga know the secret of Mibuchi's shot.
Koganei was again replaced by Hyuga in the last quarter. Riko looks worried at Teppei, he is seen withstanding pain in the knee.
Rei patted Riko on the shoulder and tried to calm her down.
"Daijoubu senpai, we have to trust him. On all of them." Rei's mature speech was aimed at Teppei and then at all the team members who will play. Riko nodded.
Hyuga managed to stop Mibuchi. Meanwhile, Kiyoshi managed to stop Nebuya.
Seirin continued to catch up. Kagami is also getting more savage so Akashi takes a step back.
Rakuzan is getting into trouble. Akashi looks different, he's entering the zone. Akashi dropped one by one Seirin team player. Riko asked for a time out.
'How do I stop it? If it continues like this...' Inner Rei who thought hard.
"You want to do it yourself?" Furihata said in disbelief.
"Yes, please." Hyuga said casually.
"Is it okay, captain?" Fukuda was surprised by Hyuga's reaction.
"Well, I guess so is." Izuki agreed.
"You too?" Fukuda's words were shocked as well by Izuki's reaction.
"You hear that, Kiyoshi?" Koganei.
"Yes." Yeah." Teppei.
"Everybody underestimated once?" Fukuda said, his face showing anxiety.
"Then why are you so hot?" Hyuga.
Fukuda did not seem to understand.
"It's usually like this too. When fighting generations of miracles is always like this. The moment when we believe in our aces. Maybe we'll give up if there's no reliable ace. But we have Kagami. Is that enough?" Further.
Hyuga is seen giving full confidence by clenching their hands on Kagami as well as the other members.
'I've forgotten it. Though we still have Kagami, I don't need to worry anymore.' Inner Rei then smiled.
"You know what to do, Kagami-kun. From now on, win or lose. The real show has just begun. Go ahead and win, Kagami!" Riko.
Rei also did the same while smiling.
"Ganbatte ne." That was all that was said from Rei's lips, but it was enough to make Kagami excited more than usual.
Akashi defends alone without any expectation on his team members. Kagami keeps trying to stop Akashi, but fails.
"Kagami-kun" Call Kuroko who makes Kagami turn to her. "How about we give up for now?" This made Kagami surprised.
"What are you saying, Kuroko? We've come this far." Kagami.
"I don't mean give up on the game. But giving up allows Kagami-kun to fight alone." Kuroko said that made Kagami surprised. "We're depending on you, but I think it's too much. If that's how you feel right now, will you bear that burden with me?" He then looked at Kagami right in his eyes.
"It's like that, I've had enough. Just a little more..." Kagami said but he fell silent again when he saw Kuroko's eyes. "alright. Then I'll help you too." Further.
Kuroko nodded.
"Let's do it together. We're gonna beat Akashi!" Kagami.
Akashi counterattacks and using emperor eyes, Kuroko stops him with Kagami's help.
Seirin counterattacked. Akashi tries to stop Kagami with emperor eyes again but fails.
Akashi looks messed up, he always makes mistakes. While Seirin continued to catch up. Rakuzan also asked for a time out.
Akashi looks to change during that time out. He became another himself. Rei is seen constantly watching Akashi from where he is standing.
'Akashi, you have returned. Your warm self has returned.' Inner Rei was smiling when he realized that.
Kuroko continued to look towards Rei who was seen watching Akashi with a smile.
'Why does Rei-san keep paying attention to Akashi-kun?' Inner Kuroko was a little jealous.
