Soon, the first-year freshmen were all assembled.
In the picture, **Shirogane Kozo** solemnly addressed the new students about **Teiko**'s basketball philosophy.
Hundred battles, hundred victories!
'Seems pretty impressive.'
'The scale is also huge, there must be dozens of people, right?'
'It's a bit different from other sports anime I've seen. Not a run-down club, but a powerhouse.'
'Never fought such a rich war. Gorilla would cry his heart out!'
Noticing the bullet comments, Pan-Guegue also spoke up.
"It's indeed a bit different from what I've seen. In the *Slam Dunk* everyone is familiar with, **Sakuragi**'s **Shohoku** High School was also a perennial underdog."
"This kind of drama of rising from zero to a hundred is more in line with the mainstream. Starting from the bottom and climbing up step by step resonates more with the audience."
Why does it resonate?
Because in real life, successful people are always a minority.
Anime production teams, especially sports types, will deliberately create a situation where the protagonist's team is weak, and then through the protagonist and each other's unremitting efforts, they move towards success.
This way, it can inspire the audience to the greatest extent, thereby triggering resonance.
Little did they know, this kind of setting is completely self-deceiving. In *SD*, which one of Shohoku's starting five was a simple character?
**Akagi** was the best center in Kanagawa, **Rukawa** was a super rookie, and **Mitsui** was an MVP-level guard. Not to mention **Seigaku** in *The Prince of Tennis*, which was full of geniuses.
From this perspective, this anime is indeed a bit anti-trope. At least from the beginning, it tells the audience, we are awesome.
But if so, where is the selling point?
With this thought, Pan-Guegue continued to watch the plot.
The plot first showed the strength of the Teiko Second String.
Most of the new student teams were beaten up by the Second String teams.
Then it was the protagonist **Kuroko**'s turn to appear, and the audience and Pan-Guegue instantly became energetic.
Guessing the subsequent plot, it was nothing more than Kuroko leading the team to a reversal.
There was nothing special about it; what they cared about was how Kuroko would play basketball.
But what happened next stunned everyone again.
"You seem nervous. We're about to go on court. Shouldn't you be excited at a time like this?"
"...Sorry, **Tendo-kun**. The seniors are all very amazing. Are you not nervous at all, Tendo-kun?"
"Of course not." Tendo Keigon, who was stretching his legs, looked up at Kuroko. Under his lenses were sky-blue pupils filled with absolute confidence. "Because I am the strongest!"
'Ore wa saikyo da!'
'As expected of someone named Tendo. Doesn't even prepare, just acts cool right away!'
'It's only been 13 minutes, and the King of Cool has revealed his true nature.'
"It's starting, it's starting."
'So flashy!'
Although there was no "Grandmother said," the power of "I am the strongest" was not inferior to **Tendou Souji**'s.
Pan-Guegue was also impressed by Tendo Keigon's cool line.
The main plot development seemed a bit different from what he expected.
He originally thought it would be the protagonist Kuroko using his abilities to help the team win.
Now it seems completely different; the limelight has been completely stolen by this white-haired guy.
Then Tendo Keigon's sunglasses were confiscated by **Nijimura Shuuzo**, and amidst a scene that was both funny and infuriating, the game officially began.
Finally, the game is about to start.
Pan-Guegue involuntarily sat up straight.
Only five seconds passed.
*Bang!*
As the basketball hit the floor, the audience all widened their eyes.
What did the audience see?
The one introduced by the narrator, that seemingly powerful Second String player who scored the highest points in the first ten minutes, **Yamanaka Yuta**, was stripped by Tendo Keigon right away.
The key is!
Because it's an animation, the post-production team added special effects.
The audience couldn't see what was happening at all. They only saw the moment Yamanaka Yuta launched, the screen suddenly went black. With the sound effect of a sword being drawn, a white light flashed, cutting open the black screen.
When the screen returned to normal, Yamanaka Yuta's pupils were shaking like an earthquake, and the basketball in his hand had also disappeared.
At this time, the audience watching the anime, just like the passers-by in the plot, were all gaping with their mouths open in an "O" shape.
The narration inserted.
"**Tendo Keigon**, 12 years old, currently a first-year freshman in the Teiko Basketball Club."
"Unlike **Kuroko Tetsuya**, he is not purely a basketball lover."
"2 years ago, Tendo Keigon, 10 years old, happened to watch a match where the contemporary sword saint **Yagyu Jubei** succeeded in his hundredth victory challenge. He was deeply shocked and developed a strong interest in Kendo."
"A few days later, Tendo Keigon went to a nearby dojo to become an apprentice. His terrifying talent began to show."
"One month after entering the dojo, he laid down the Kendo foundation that takes ordinary people years to complete and began to formally learn Kendo."
"Three months after entering the dojo, he had mastered all the swordsmanship taught by the dojo master."
"Six months after entering the dojo, the master had nothing left to teach him. Tendo Keigon began to study and learn the extraordinary swordsmanship of the sword saint Yagyu Jubei on his own."
"One year after entering the dojo, Tendo Keigon quit the dojo and went to Hokkaido alone to challenge Yagyu Jubei."
"The result of the battle: Tendo Keigon was completely defeated!"
"This made Tendo Keigon understand that what belongs to others is ultimately others'. No matter how excellent the imitation, it is ultimately a counterfeit."
"After that, Tendo Keigon began to study swordsmanship and challenged Yagyu Jubei again half a year later."
"The result of the battle: Tendo Keigon was defeated again!"
"But..."
"Tendo Keigon left the Yagyu dojo with a smile. The reason for his defeat was merely because his body limited his talent."
"When Yagyu Jubei recalled that match later, he said, 'My swordsmanship seemed to have been dismembered by Tendo Keigon.'"
"And he evaluated Tendo Keigon as an absolute genius with talent far beyond his own!"
*Hiss~*
When this narration ended.
The audience in front of the screen and Pan-Guegue were stunned.
'Holy crap, is he hacking?'
'My goodness, 12 years old... no, at 11 years old he beat the sword saint?'
'But that's not right. He learned the sword at 10 and beat the sword saint at 11, so the time he played basketball is...'
After sorting out their thoughts, the audience was even more shocked.
'Damn it, the 2D world is too perverted!'
At the same time.
Tendo Keigon, who was being a vase in the coffee shop, responsible for attracting female customers, also blinked.
He could also see the real-time bullet comments.
"When did I get this setting?"
"Newbie welfare, have you forgotten?"
That slash from Sukuna?
But it clearly didn't say that.
"Don't tell me that the skill '**Dismantle (Kai)**' comes with the attribute of adding settings?"
"Isn't that reasonable?" The short-tailed cat sat on the front desk licking its paws, with a matter-of-fact expression.
"...The Ganges is inside!" (A meme meaning 'This is reasonable!')
