Hey, Chiro! Stop it already!

There! Done!

They're really shiny!

Of course! No one else around here can capture the sky as beautifully as I do!

Capture the sky?

On your shoes.

Oh, true! You really put your heart into it.

A guy like you could get a better job-

I will.

With that.

A basketball?

Yeah.

Do you like it?

Somewhat.

However, as far as basketball is concerned, we've now entered the Gorans' era.

It's too bad, but we Earthlings don't have the body and the physical abilities to compete with them in the first place.

We don't know that.

Huh?

If we give up, everything will be over, won't it?

Humans made these things. This city, and basketball too.

I'll prove that humans can do more than they think!

It's good to have dreams.

It's not a dream!

Oh, they're here.

The long-awaited final game has arrived. Care to give a comment?

Excuse me, what will be the major focus in today's game?

A rumor saying that the Earth Team will enter the Intergalactic Major League is spreading, but isn't it a bit early to say so?

Stop your babbling!

Today! Today we'll change history!

The game will begin soon. Please refrain from interviewing.

That was crazy.

It just shows how closely everyone is watching today's game.

That's because this game is the final game, and the ticket to the Intergalactic Major League.

That's not the only reason. There's the fact that we're Earthlings too...

If we win, history will change!

We can't lose this one, no matter what happens.

Right, DT?

Why are you getting so worked up? There's always next year, isn't there?

Hey, you bastard! Apologize! Don't say that again! You bastard!

You bastard, apologize!

Everyone, your father will do it.

I said apologize!

You bastard!

By the way, where's Hideyoshi?

He was... over there... a minute ago...

He was... over there... a minute ago...

He was... over there... a minute ago...

Finally this day has come!

Get a grip, blue!

Yeah, good boy! You did good, blue!

What are you doing?

Julius? How long have you been standing there?

So you were so scared that you decided to come here to scout?

The hell I'd be scared, asshole...

If you think that I'm the same as last year,

you're making a really big mistake.

What's the problem?

That bastard... He grew taller as well.

It's not like height is what matters!

The blue one is stronger!

What do you mean?

Nothing more than what I said! Okay, let's go!

Whatever...

I've been looking for you. Where were you?

I was just, well...

Well, whatever.

More importantly, there are cute visitors waiting for you.

Okay.

Hey, it's Julius!

It's Julius!

Hey, I told you to greet him all together, right?

One, two...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING INVITED US TODAY!

Okay. Have fun then!

It's finally time, Julius.

Gyuma-san.

Gyuma-san.

Did you invite the kids who were born and raised in the same town as me?

Thank you.

Today I will have fun from the visitors' seats too.

Please wait for me...

In the Intergalactic Major League. I will go there no matter what.

You must be happy to have found such a good rival.

Yeah... And you are one too.

Ten years.

I can't wait any longer than that.

I'm expecting a good game.

Ten years?

He's as spirited as always.

From that point of view he looks a lot like that guy on the Earth Team.

Three years.

What?

I said ten years to Julius, but... in three years, their era will come in the Intergalactic Major League.

"Their"?

I'm looking forward to it.

Gyuma...

Here are the seats Julius reserved for you all.

Yeah!

We did it!

Julius...

The Earth Team finally made it this far.

But the odds are totally in the Sonics' favor.

The media will always be on the Gorans' side.

But if you look at it calmly...

R-Really?

Thank you for coming for the Earth Team today!

Let's cheer the Earth Team with all we have for their victory!

Huh?

Look, they're cheering for the Earth Team!

Are you stupid?

You'll never know if you don't try!

Who said that!?

You earthlings just stay out of the way!

They're strong you know!

Stop it!

Boss is... Boss is even stronger than before!

Boss... I beg you!

The pillar of the Earth Team is DT.

Julius will mark him thoroughly.

When his movements are sealed, focus on passing me the ball.

If Hideyoshi gets in, then Spira will mark him.

Let's win this year, and go to the Intergalactic Major League!

Yeah!

Is it okay?

What are you talking about?

Don't play stupid.

I can see it on your face that you really want to mark Hideyoshi.

I asked Tachyon to do this.

What?

The reason we lost last season's final was because I was overconfident in my abilities...

Okay!

Yeah!

If I get stuck in a duel against Hideyoshi, I'll repeat the same mistake as last year.

So that's why...

I want to win this game! For that, I'll do anything!

Blue is definitely stronger!

In moments like these, there's nothing more I need to say.

Together, you can win!

Show the Gorans what you can do!

Yeah!

Grandpa!

What is it!?

We'll take you to the Intergalactic Major League.

Cha-che...

Grandpa, it's too early to cry!

S-Shut up!

Hideyoshi!

Gorans vs. Earthlings, the game of the century will begin!

They're coming!

Finally.

Hey, what are you doing?

Please don't obstruct traffic!

It'll just be an easy victory for the Sonics!

The Earthlings can't compete.

That's pretty ambitious.

Are you good at basketball?

I won't become a player!

Huh?

I'm going to use this.

I'm going to make my own team.

That's pretty interesting. But in order to do so, you must save a lot of money.

I'm just a shoe shiner now, but when I'm an adult...

Basketball is a game created originally on Earth. There's no way Earthlings should lose in such a game!

I'm looking forward to the day you create your team.

This is too much.

You need money to create a team.

You'll have to be willing to accept the generosity of an old man like me.

Thanks!

See you!

Oh, by the way, what's your name?

Yoshimune!

I'll go to the Intergalactic Major League no matter what.

All right!

I won't let you move as you like.

Bastard!

I see...

So it's like that...

Hideyoshi!

Let me take care of Julius.

I'll focus on passing you the ball, so do what you want.

Okay!

That's it!

I'll attract Julius. Pass the ball to Hideyoshi.

Okay!

Hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi!

Calm down! This is what we have to do to win!

Ah, that DT! He's doing well!

The Sonics realized that DT is the pillar of the team, and they use Julius, their ace, to mark him!

So DT hasn't been getting many passes anymore...

But in exchange, Hideyoshi has become the center of the attack.

By using their ace to cover DT, who isn't getting the ball, the Sonics' attack power has decreased.

I see...

In this match, DT and Tachyon have both been showing their ability to read the game,

but it seems DT is a little better.

But what makes that possible is...

Hideyoshi's strength!

Spira can't stop him anymore.

Yeah.

What's happening?

Damn!

Hey! The Sonics are losing!

What the hell is going on?

They're just Earthlings, aren't they?

What's happening to you, Sonics?

That's impossible...

Boss!

That's good, boss!

Give your best!

Boss! Go!

Julius was extremely conscious of Hideyoshi.

To ensure that his emotions wouldn't affect the game, Tachyon didn't let Julius mark Hideyoshi.

However...

You mean that DT is exploiting that?

Julius!

Time out!

Spira, mark Hideyoshi better!

Don't let him free!

Okay, understood.

Tachyon, it's okay now isn't it?

What?

Let Julius do as he wants.

What did you say?

Io told you that time...

Julius has never played basketball as a game.

For him basketball isn't something fun.

It's even almost something painful.

Let him do it, Tachyon!

Is that okay with you?

Mark Hideyoshi! I'll take care of DT.

Hideyoshi?

Do what you do best!

How long are those guys going to take?

Whatever they say is useless! This game is ours!

Don't let your guard down.

That kind of spirit is dangerous!

Oh, it's finally over!

Okay, let's go on like this!

How will the Sonics come at us now?

This is more like it.

It's finally begun! The real game...

I thought my emotions were my weakness.

That ignoring them was the way to victory.

But...

It seems that a duel against you is unavoidable!

You're right. This is more like it.

This feeling...

The feeling I have only when I play against you...

What is this feeling?

Julius' moves have changed!

I-Indeed...

Oh! He looks like a different person now!

The Sonics' genius player Julius has awoken!

He's bringing the score closer and closer!

That's not good...

Mark Julius with one more player!

The Sonics have finally tied the game!

Julius looks like he's having fun!

Playing so happily...

That red-headed bastard makes me sick!
