Watching helplessly as Rukawa stole the show in the match Sakuragi Hanamichi was extremely frustrated.

In a flash, he witnessed Rukawa's super play and was enthralled in spite of himself.

Finally managed to participate in the match, Sakuragi is extremely excited.

Yet, his first memorable slam dunk ended up on Akagi's precious head.

Slam Dunk #8 Hanamichi's Crisis! The Judo-man's Trap.

Damn, that guy still hasn't arrived.

The third lesson has already started.

For all we know, he might already be in school, and we missed him earlier.

Idiot, that's impossible. How can we ever miss that guy with that red hair of his?

Look, it's the redhead.

Ahh, I hate the rain.

Damn, my neck still hurts.

That gorilla certainly didn't show me any mercy.

Are you Sakuragi Hanamichi from first year?

Huh?

Well, Akagi, please explain what this paragraph means.

Yes sir.

The morning is the hopeful beginning of every day.

Humans look to the clear and bright light and make their wishes,...

...to pray for the desired happiness.

Very accurately explained, well done.

You're really something, Akagi-kun.

I'm so envious. That was an extremely difficult paragraph.

Really?

Oh boy, I really got to hand it to him.

So... how is it, Akagi-kun? You're the captain, tell me how the situation in the basketball team.

You seem to be doing a good job so far.

There is still a lot more to do.

I know I should be more strict with them but for some reason, I can't bear to do so.

This isn't good.

Aren't you strict enough already?

But isn't the basketball team this year pretty strong?

That's so true, the whole school is full of praises for the team, Akagi.

It seems like there are a lot of new members from the freshmen.

Who knows...

They are all a bunch of idiots and delinquents anyway.

Hey, Rukawa is still sleeping.

You'd better wake him fast. Look at Koike's eyes. This is bad, he must have noticed.

Ru... Rukawa-kun, Rukawa-kun.

Rukawa, you bastard!

You... bastard bastard bastard! You sleep during every lesson! All the time! Are my classes are boring?

Are my classes are that boring?! Oi!

He sleeps during other classes too, sensei.

I don't give a damn who you are. I won't forgive anyone who disturbs my sleep.

What?!

Gah! Rukawa! Don't kick anything!

Sakuragi.

Sakuragi!

Hey Mito! What's with Sakuragi today? Did he skip school?

Huh?

I don't know.

Hah! Just as I thought.

He must have skipped classes again.

No matter how many times I tell him, he just refuses to dye his hair black.

A guy like that will probably quit school after three months.

They are all the same.

Hey Mito, are you sure you don't know? Oi!

Feh, I can't stand such students.

Where the hell did Hanamichi go?

You are Sakuragi Hanamichi, right?

I see. Nice physique.

What the hell are you guys up to? Resorting such a low method like ambushing.

Don't you know, you'll make me terribly late for school?

What nonsense! You were already late for school!

Well, weren't you?

Hımph. Stop pushing the blame on us.

Seems like this guy is exactly like how the rumors make him out to be. He's a real jerk.

What the... who the hell are you guys?

I haven't seen you guys before, so why are you insulting me?

True, personally I have nothing against you.

But I have orders from above, so don't blame us.

I heard that there's going to be a practice match with Ryonan.

Yes.

Last year, during the prefecture matches, we lost terribly in a hundred point match.

Only Akagi was able to defeat Ryonan's ace center, Uozumi.

It was incredible... Akagi's performance at that time...

I'm sure your performance this year will be just as good.

What's your goal?

To get in the best eight?

Or to take part in the Inter High?

Our goal is to be the country's champion.

Great!

"To be the country's champion". This has been your pet phrase since Junior High.

No, since elementary school.

Country's champion, wow...

Stop talking. Every time this topic comes up, that guy will appear.

Which guy?

The country's champion?

Sorry to tell you this, Akagi,

Our judo team will be the champions first.

A-ah! Speak of the devil.

Aota.

Aota-kun.

Aota-kun?

You... what kind of special ears do you have?

The moment I mention this topic you zoom over from your class immediately every time, Aota.

To be obsessed with such an insignificant sport like basketball, Shohoku High Judo Team Captain: Aota Tatsuhiko.

I feel sorry for you Akagi. Shohoku High Judo Team Captain: Aota Tatsuhiko.

Why would basketball be an insignificant sport? Shouhoku High Basketball Team Captain: Akagi Takenori

You obviously don't understand the sport at all so, don't pretend as if you do. Shouhoku High Basketball Team Captain: Akagi Takenori

For goodness sake, how many times are you going to repeat yourself saying same thing over and over, Aota.

Hmph!

Akagi, you have no right to talk to me like that.

I can feel the danger in the air.

What's with those two?

They've always been like that.

They compete over everything, no matter how trivial it is.

Those two have been good friends since elementary school, and...

They're also each other's worst rivals.

What a complicated relationship.

Hey, Akagi...

How is Haruko-chan?

Don't you dare bother her.

And I heard that, it was love at first sight for him...

... ever since he saw Akagi's younger sister Haruko-chan during elementary school.

My, what a complicated relationship.

Hmph. I ought to let you know, the judo team is nearing its goal of participating in the Inter High.

To be able to plan strategically we are the only one capable of that, Akagi.

Aota, we are also very optimistic about we can achieve this year too.

We have quite a few numbers from the first year that have a lot of potential.

Oh, so do we.

We have a talent... one that comes by only once in hundred years.

Ha ha ha, what an exaggeration.

What kind of guy is that?

Year one class seven, Sakuragi Hanamichi.

What!?

Wait a minute Aota, what's going on?

Hmph. What do you mean by "what's going on", Kogure?

It's exactly what I said. Our elite force is going to persuade him to join us as we speak.

Those guys are well-known brutes.

What!?

Aota-kun, there are some year twos here to look for you.

Hmph. Looks like the matter has been taken care of.

The mission failed.

Even our elite couldn't do it.

Heh, my admiration for him is growing by the minute. I must get Sakuragi to join us, Akagi.

Eyaah, just that little bit of workout and I'm starving already.

Mister, don't you have school?

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter.

Well, put it on my tab first okay?

Wait... Mister!

Ah, I'm full.

Hi guys, the first part of Slam Dunk was fun, wasn't it?

Basketball is great, let's play together.

Thanks for waiting, second part of Slam Dunk will start in a minute,

Let's get together in front of TV.

Wow...

How beautiful...

It's really blinding...

Haruko-san... So cool...

What are those guys doing here during lesson time?

Oh! Haruko-chan must have noticed us!

Wave your hands to see.

Yo... Ho ho ho...

Sakuragi-kun!

Don't bother with them!

Argh! How dare he do that to Haruko-san! Bastard!

You... You are...

Who the hell are you?

Sakuragi! What a coincidence.

I have been looking for you...

Physical Education Teacher Army Corp.

You punks, how dare you lurk around to peep during lesson time?

What audacity! Report to the physical education office right now!

This is bad, Hanamichi got caught!

Let's run.

Gah, those heartless bastards.

Look! Look! My accomplices are escaping!

Hanamichi! Do you want to betray us?

Don't turn back Ookusu! Let's run!

Hey, stop moving Sakuragi.

Selfish jerks! You guys are despicable cowards, despicable!

Stop moving!

Grrr!

I won't let you off Sakuragi!

Damn you, I won't forget this!

Damn, it hurts.

That Sakuragi is such a trouble maker.

Damn it, how come we have such jerks for students?

Ouch... Damn...

Incredible...

These two were strong and fit P.E. teachers,

And yet he managed to escape so easily.

Such power... with that power alone, he can easily become a formidable force.

My judgment was right after all.

Sakuragi,

It's your fate and destiny to live and breathe for judo.

Stop messing around with basketball. Come join the judo team, Sakuragi Hanamichi.

What are you murmuring about Aota? Listen up!

Geez, you're already in the third year!

You'd better behave properly!

Ouch!

Geez, I don't know what's going on in your head.

Haruko-chan has become prettier.

C'mon!

Who's that guy? A year three? Haruko-chan, do you know him?

Yes, Tat-chan has been my brother's budy since he was young.

His name is Aota Tatsuhiko-san.

First, it was that Sakuragi... now, there's an Aota.

The people that Haruko knows are all a bunch of weirdos, geez.

Your brother is scary too.

Eh? That's not true... They are nice people.

But.. I do admit... my brother is a little scary.

Hehehe, I heard you had detention for an hour, Aota.

I really don't understand what the heck the judo captain is doing.

Shut up!

Akagi, I have already decided, we definitely want Sakuragi.

Why are you still going on about that?

That guy is born to be a judo master.

His physique and his power, and his courage...

I bet you that guy isn't someone who will be satisfied with just doing a few basketball tricks.

Learning a fighting skill would be the most suitable for him!

Oi oi, don't start assuming things!

Nope, definitely martial arts for him!

However, what matters most is how that guy feels.

Do you really think he joined the team because he likes to play basketball?

I'm afraid that isn't what is on his mind.

He doesn't like basketball at all. The one he likes is Haruko-chan.

Or am I wrong?

He isn't playing basketball because he likes it.

He's playing basketball so that he can win Haruko-chan's affection.

However, this doesn't come as a surprise. Haruko-chan has indeed become prettier.

I haven't seen her only for a short while and she has blossomed into an adult.

And she's in Shohoku High too. Boy am I lucky.

What are you talking about?

Akagi.

You are using Haruko-chan as a bait to bind Sakuragi to the basketball team.

Do you think it's right?

What?

He's got great potential.

Wouldn't it be better for him to do something that he really wants to do?

Listen carefully. I didn't ask him to join the basketball team.

Oi!

I see.

So are you telling me you won't use your position as the basketball captain...

To stop me from recruiting Sakuragi in the Judo team?

It's his freedom to choose.

I see.

Wait a minute.

As the vice captain, I don't approve of this. Oi! Aota!

He he he... Your captain has already given the green light.

The vice captain's vote is redundant, so I'll pretend as if I never heard you.

Akagi wait!

Is this really alright?

Akagi!

You were that guy from before...

I'm Aota, the captain of the judo team.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, I need to talk to you.

Ah! Haruko-san!

Tat-chan!

Tat-chan?

Yo, Haruko-chan.

You... You are getting prettier, Haruko-chan.

Behave naturally... I meant what I said just now from the bottom of my heart.

I was just about to talk to Sakuragi. I'll talk to you later.

J... Just ... who the hell is this guy...

Isn't that Aota and Sakuragi?

That bastard Aota.

Judo Section

There, wear this, Sakuragi.

You were born to become a judo master.

Join the judo team, Sakuragi.

Judo?

What nonsense is this?

Enough of this crap, what is your relationship with Haruko-san?

Why does she call you Tat-chan?

Ha ha ha! You are envious, aren't you?

Hana-chan!

How lucky...

Heh... Hahaha! I'm afraid all you can be is Sakuragi-kun.

The way she addresses you shows the degree of intimacy there is between you and her.

Sakuragi, I'm winning this for sure.

What the hell?!

Oi, Kogure.

It's not my style to be peeping and sneaking around like this.

I'm leaving.

No, you can't leave. We can't let Sakuragi join the judo team.

Look!

That jerk Aota is dressed in his judo attire.

Don't tell me he's going to force Sakuragi to take judo by using violence on him.

What if he...

Don't be silly. He might seem like a brute...

But Aota's judo skills are well-known in the prefecture.

He won't bully a layman.

Yeah yeah, I wonder WHO was the basketball pro that was so determined to...

Compete against a layman some time ago.

Hmph, Sakuragi, do you know what this is?

Why you... so you're into this kind of hobby? You're a dangerous man!

You're so naive, Sakuragi.

Look carefully at who this is.

Ah! Don't tell me...

Right on the dot.

This is a photograph of Haruko-chan when she was in elementary school.

What!

This was during Junior High, year one.

This is year two.

This is year three.

And... this one was taken during her Junior High Graduation! Ahahahaha!

Even her graduation photo?

So this is how Haruko-san looked during Junior High.

What a cute Junior High student...

All these are my treasures.

Just as I saying, as long as you join the judo team,

I'll give them all to you. What do you say?

That bastard!

Actually you are the one using Haruko as bait!

To think you were acting all high and mighty in front of me just a while ago...

You are such a bastard!

The... the situation doesn't look good, Akagi. Look at Sakuragi's face.

What did you say?

Gahhh, he's completely switched sides.

What do you expect from someone like him.

Ha ha ha! So, Sakuragi Hanamichi.

As long as you join our judo team, all these photographs will belong to you.

What do you say, Sakuragi?

It seems like Sakuragi Hanamichi is about to fall into Aota's trap.

Will he give up basketball to join the judo team instead?
