Slam Dunk 4: Roar!! Basket Man Spirit

ANF- Animanga Nucleus Fansubs

Alright! A little more!

Go!

Get in!

He did it!

That's our Rukawa-senpai!

They're not losing to Kainan!

Senpai!

Rukawa senpai!

Mizusawa...

Long time, no see. Actually, there's something I'd like to tell you.

I'll be taking over Yoshida's place as the captain of Tomi-ju basketball team.

Is there a problem?

Actually...

No... It's nothing.

Please, excuse me.

Roar Basketman's Soul! Slam Dunk- Hanamichi's Burning Summer

No way... be careful...

Come this way... let's go there.

Look! This is Takamiya's surfing technique!

I got it!

I got it... got it... got it!

You got a big one, Yohei!

Yeah, that's useless.

It's been a long time since I feel so relaxed.

Hanamichi...

I wonder how he is doing.

Ah, that's good...

Rukawa's fighting spirit is so high these days....

To be honest, I'm glad to be his teammate. Even though that's only practice...

-Me too... -Mit-chi!

Ryo-chin!

What's wrong, Hanamichi?

Rukawa... Rukawa... You guys are too noisy!

Can't you see that this genius is more spirited than him?!

G... Genius?

Where? Where is the genius?

Damn you all... talking like that.

Surely, there's one more guy burning like the hot summer sun.

A self-appointed genius!

Aah, it's hopeless...

Oh?

Aren't you Akane?

Haruko...

What're you doing here?

Why don't you come to our house?

By the way, long time no see.

Y-yeah...

Thank you for waiting.

I've heard that Shohoku's basketball team is getting stronger.

Yes, they're at their best now.

Rukawa-kun and Sakuragi-kun are especially in high spirits.

Ah, you may not know Sakuragi-kun...

But you do know Rukawa-kun, don't you?

Y-yeah...

So, how is Ichiro-kun doing?

After Rukawa-kun left Tomigaoka Junior High, he became the captain, right?

W-what's wrong, Akane?

Go! Go!

Ichiro...

Damn...

So fast!

That's expected!!

Tomigaoka! Keep going like that!

Do your best!

Alright, captain!

There's been a big hole after Rukawa left, but because of Ichiro's development...

the team is performing up to the same level as it was last year.

Nice play... Is that the infamous Ichiro Mizusawa?

He's quite good for a junior high player.

Yes, without a doubt he's the number one forward in Kanagawa.

Ich-chan...

Welcome back, Ich-chan.

Ah, did you just arrive, sis?

We were in the same train.

What's wrong with your leg?

You dragged it along just now.

Did I? I didn't notice.

Did you twist your ankle during practice?

No, I didn't.

Maybe I played a little too hard.

Conquer the Nationals with Rukawa-senpai!!

Ich-chan!

Ich-chan!

What is it?

I just got a call from Haruko and she said that Shohoku won again.

Rukawa-kun did most of the scoring himself.

There's no doubt about it!

Rukawa-san is bound to win no matter when, where, or who the opponent is.

What... I kindly let you know the big news, but you...

Anyway, Rukawa-kun is like your girlfriend, isn't he?

My dream is...

Nice shot!

Next year, I'll enter Shohoku and win the national tournament with Rukawa-senpai!

No, it's not a dream. I'll turn it into a reality!

I can't hear you! Keep your chin up!

Tomigaoka! Fight! Yeah! Fight! Yeah!

Ichiro!

Captain!

Captain!

What's wrong with Ichiro?!

Are you alright?

Captain! Captain!

Say something, Ichiro!

Articular tuberculosis!?

Yes, the condition caused tuberculosis bacillus to affect the joint.

Did the patient occasionally drag his foot along without noticing it himself?

Did I? I didn't notice.

Doctor, what's going to happen now?

There shouldn't be any pain if he doesn't use the injured foot, but...

Every time he starts walking, he'll often feel severe pain.

And the symptoms will gradually get worse.

Moreover, there's no effective treatment for the injury.

Therefore an after effect may remain.

It can't be...!

Dear...

Then, my brother...

Well, in order to avoid the remaining after effects, he will need to undergo an operation.

However, even after the operation,

he will not be able to do high impact exercises like basketball.

I won't go under the knife!

I'd rather die, if I can't play basketball!

Ichiro...

You know, the doctor said...

It's all a complete lie!

Look! There's nothing wrong with my foot!

Look! Look!

See, I told you!

There's nothing wrong!

Ichiro!

Ich-chan!

It doesn't hurt at all!

It doesn't hurt at all!

It's a lie...

It can't be true...

It's a lie!

A lie...

Did it really happen?

He finally made up his mind to undergo the operation, but...

I want to play basketball with Rukawa-senpai one more time.

I understand deeply his desire to play basketball...

Hey, Akane. I can ask my brother to arrange a practice match with Rukawa-kun.

What... Your brother?

Yes. I guess Ichiro-kun won't give up hope if we could fulfill his wish.

Let's grant his wish to play basketball with Rukawa-kun one last time.

Haruko... Thank you...

Please, Haruko!

Leave it to me!

Impossible.

Why? What's wrong with it?

I truly understand his feelings...

But, even if it's only a practice game, I could not let an outsider join in the match.

You know that it's the most important time for Shohoku right now.

But, brother...

Please, brother...

I know.

But, please!

I know!

The sound of Gian Shouja Bell

contains all the things that are in flux, and nothing is permanent...

The color of the Sara Soujuu flower reveals Jausha-Hissui...

Chu... that octopus looks delicious. Gimme!

No... It's not an octopus, it's my favorite wiener.

Damn you! Give me something in return!

You... You ate them all!?

How fast!?

I can help you eat your lunch!

Who's going to give you any?

Are you kidding!?

By the way, where is Hanamichi?

He's eating at the gym.

I guess he'll practice again after lunch.

He's now completely...

a basketman.

Alright, commoner's shot!

Yes!

Damn. That agitator is here again.

Rukawa-kun?

It's true. I hate that.

He must be crazy.

Do you think so too? I totally agree with you.

Hi.

How about it?

Why don't we go out today?

I'm sorry!

How could they do that to us?

Damn...

That's Haruko-chan.

And that guy must be Rukawa.

C-could it be...

A declaration of love!?

I wonder what they're talking about.

Who knows?

But by observing the situation,

we can safely assume that it was an attack by Haruko-chan.

Haruko-chan is quite a lady. This could mean...

Don't you dare tell Hanamichi, OK!

If he knows, there'll be a blood bath.

A blood bath for sure. Right, Hanamichi?

What are you guys doing here?
