This mysterious player is now a freshman at Seirin High, a new school with a powerful, if little-known, team. Now, Tetsuya Kuroko, the phantom sixth member of the "Generation of Miracles", and Taiga Kagami, a naturally talented player who spent most of middle school in America, are aiming to bring Seirin to the top of Japan, taking on Kuroko's old teammates one by one.
Kuroko no Baske Episode 3
It's Better if I Can't Win (勝てねェぐらいがちょうどいい, Kate ne e guraigachōdoī) is the third episode of the Kuroko no Basuke anime. It adapts Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the manga, He Might Not Be Normal, It's Not Just for Show, and Unbeatable is Just Right.
The Seirin High basketball team has a practice game against Kaijō High, a school nationally recognized for its strength and star newcomer, Ryōta Kise. Even if he can't secure a win, Taiga Kagami is so excited to play against a strong opponent that he stays up all night thinking about it. The game seems to be going in Kaijō's favor, but Kagami stays confident that the game isn't over until it's over and boldly declares that he's figured out the prodigy's weakness: Misdirection.
Ryōta Kise meets up with the Seirin High basketball team on their way to a practice match with Kaijō High, wanting to help guide them to the gym. He ignores both Riko Aida and Taiga Kagami's attempts at greeting him in favor of speaking directly with Tetsuya Kuroko and expressing disappointment at his rejection of Kise's offer. The model only turns his attention to Kagami after being told to stop being sarcastic, curious about the person leading Kuroko to say those kinds of things. He says that while he doesn't particularly care about the Generation of Miracles label, he can't ignore such an obvious challenge and intends to crush Kagami with everything he has.
The last episode of Kuroko's Basketball established Haizaki as a textbook villain, somebody with no regard for sportsmanship, whose special power is actually to steal people's moves. Episode two pitted him against the far more sympathetic Kise Ryouta, whose model good looks and winning personality make him a friend to our main characters. Episode three complicates everything, and shows us that good and evil are never as simple as they seem.
In contrast to Akashi's quiet control and insidious manipulations, Haizaki's bad boy act breaks down into bluster. His claim that he doesn't care about basketball becomes hollow. His bad attitude becomes a prideful defense against his feelings of rejection. As Haizaki crumbles, Kise becomes cartoonishly strong. On the sidelines, Momoi and Aomine attempt to give a technical explanation for his newfound powers, but it rings false like the junk science it is. Kuroko's Basketball isn't realistic and attempts to justify its players' crazy actions just bring viewers out of the moment. If I want real basketball, I'll turn on ESPN. 041b061a72
