Whether the audience has read the comics or not, they all noticed the update of "Slam Dunk" at the first time!
"More, more!"
"Two episodes have been updated!"
“It’s so cool!”
“This wave is worth it!”
“It’s worth waiting another two days!”
"I've read the comics, this is a famous scene!"
"Mitsui, here I come!"
"… "
Although comics and animation are deeply connected, animation has the added bonus of voice actors, images, and even music, and its appeal is completely incomparable to comics. This is also the reason why many comic works have to wait until the animation comes out before they can become a big hit.
so.
Even though many people have read the comics, they are still looking forward to the animation!
certainly.
Most of them are viewers who have not read the comics.
For example, Lu Bin.
Lu Bin is a high school student in Chuzhou.
He likes "Slam Dunk" very much. Although he has not read the manga, he has been spoiled by those who have read the manga and knows that Mitsui has a very high status in the minds of manga fans.
Lu Bin has always been skeptical about this.
Because Mitsui had already appeared in the previous plot.
This man had long hair and was accompanied by a group of thugs. He got into a conflict with Sakuragi Hanamichi and others right away, and beat Rukawa Kaede and others until they were bleeding from their heads.
A perfect villain image!
Anyway, Lu Bin doesn't like a character like Mitsui at all, and even hates him a little.
As for why Mitsui holds such a high status in the hearts of comic fans
This character must have been whitewashed later in the comics.
Many works like to use this routine, first creating a disgusting villain, and then whitewashing the villain.
This is one of Lu Bin's most hated creative routines.
This method works well. Many villain characters who have been whitewashed can easily surpass the popularity of the good characters.
In this regard, Lu Bin said:
It's just the creators' tricks.
You can whitewash it as much as you want, but if you like this character, I lose.
With this subtle resistance, Lu Bin clicked on the 27th episode.
There were no more physical conflicts in this episode.
The plot mainly revolves around language conflicts and Mitsui Shou's memories.
At the beginning, Lu Bin crossed his arms over his chest, with an attitude of "I'll just watch you cleanse yourself."
However…
When Lubin saw Mitsui getting injured for the team to score;
When Lu Bin saw San Jing in the hospital, confused because he couldn't compete;
When Lu Bin saw Mitsui trying his best to return to the game despite the doctor's advice;
When Lu Bin saw Mitsui standing outside the court, looking sad and lonely, he turned and walked out of the court;
When Lu Bin saw...
Mitsui's youthful memories rushed towards him like a tide, silently creating a huge wave.
Quiet room.
Lu Bin had lowered his crossed arms at some point.
His eyes were slightly sour, and Lu Bin suddenly felt a little distressed.
Feeling distressed
Lu Bin suddenly shook his head vigorously!
These are just Shadow’s creative routines!
Realizing this, Lu Bin kept reminding himself, as if he was brainwashing himself, but he was still unwilling to easily accept the whitewashing of this character!
"Mitsui is the villain!"
No matter how you whitewash it, you can't change this fact!
While Lu Bin was struggling with his inner struggles, memories and reality were still intertwined.
"In fact, you have never given up your love for basketball!"
"You are the one who is stuck in the past!"
Questioning and rebutting, quarreling and struggling, everything took a turn with the appearance of Coach Anxi!
Click.
The door opens.
In the blinding light, the coach stood there and said two words:
"It's you."
Yasui's expression changed instantly.
In the past, Mitsui, who had already emerged as a campus ace at a young age and led the team to win the championship in the county finals, became famous. He had received olive branches from major basketball schools, but he was determined to follow Coach Anzai and came to the unknown Xiangbei...
It's all because of the coach in front of me.
Coach Anxi is the coach he respects most in his life.
In a trance.
Mitsui seemed to be back on the court.
Coach Anzai's teachings to Mitsui once again rang in his ears:
“Don’t give up hope until the very last moment, because the moment you give up, the game is over.”
At that time, he resolutely picked up the basketball again, turned around and rushed into the crowd.
…
In front of the screen.
Lu Bin's expression also changed.
His heart was surging like never before!
It felt like countless ants were crawling over my heart, and it was a tingling numbness with a slight pain.
then.
Ants crawled over his head and his skin. His scalp began to feel numb and goose bumps covered his body!
My eyes felt sore again.
Hold on!
It’s all routine!
He tried desperately to stop the surging feeling, but to no avail, as if something was choking his throat.
It was as if the boy on the screen, who was once so proud and arrogant, could not hide the fact that he was covered in bruises after leaving the stadium.
For the first time, pain and regret appeared on that face that was once filled with negativity and disdain.
A trembling face and tears of self-blame slid down the face and chin.
Memories started flashing back.
As Lu Bin was trying hard to control his emotions, a surge of singing suddenly rang out, as if to pierce his soul!
"The world has come to an end
(Until the end of the world)
I'm leaving
(I don't want to be separated from you)
I'm willing to do it
(On thousands of nights)
Thousands of nights
(Make a wish)
It's time to go
(Time that never comes back)
Why is it so bright
(Why is it so dazzling?)
… ”
Like a dam releasing floodwaters, breaking through the last line of defense of the blockade, Lu Bin's tears completely burst out as his chest heaved violently!
In the surging singing.
Mitsui knelt in front of the coach, his scarred hands supporting the ground and crying:
“Coach… I want to play basketball.”
It was not known whether it was the influence of the singing or the shock of the scene before his eyes, but Mitsui's sudden repentance at that moment became a scene that Lu Bin would never forget.
Who hasn't made a mistake
Who hasn’t taken a detour
Who hasn’t felt depressed and confused
Who else can, like him, abandon all self-esteem and pride and risk his life again for that distant and brilliant dream
first.
Lu Bin completely fell in love with this role!
And at this time.
There are thousands and thousands of Lu Bins in the world who burst into tears!
Even if you have read the comics and prepared yourself mentally in advance, it’s useless!
When the song "Until the End of the World" sounds, no one can remain indifferent!
Not to mention that there were so many audiences who were indifferent or even disgusted with Mitsui at the beginning, but they were directly fascinated by Mitsui after the last wave of explosive singing!
…

The emotions brought by the song and Mitsui are spreading like crazy!

"What song is that?"
“I couldn’t help myself the moment I heard it!”
“This song is so tear-jerking!”
"I couldn't stand it after just one line of that interlude!"
"Ahh, I thought that since I had read the comics, I wouldn't be so moved when watching the anime, but I didn't expect that I would be broken again by this song!"
"… "
The other side!
Blogs also fell one after another!
