I was going to cut for spoilers, but letās be real here.Ā
I died a bit watching this oav in a both a good and a bad way
I mean, no knocks on Kuroko, but y/y this entire thing got going because the hottest girl in their middle school decided they were damn well going to throw her boyfriend a birthday three-on-three
Aomineās status as the stupidest-smartest of the Miragen remains unchallenged because Momoi basically followed his (correct) advice to bribe with food.Ā
Momoi telling on Purple to Akashi because he wouldnāt come was the best thing ever until we reached the point where Akashi arranged for upwards of twenty, maybe thirty boys to allĀ hump their way up/down to Tokyo just so that Purple would be at Kurokoās birthday party.Ā
I mean, 10/10 best boyfriend material move. Hands down.Ā
Theories for why the Miragen were so buddy-buddy:
Momoi threatened all of them
Akashi threatened all of them
Aomine is not actually aware that Oreshi and Bokushi are the āsameā person, and Akashi, considerate of his mentally-challenged friend, will not hold Aomine responsible for shouting at them during the winter cup since Aomine must have imagined he was shouting at an enemy.
Itās their friendās birthday, so theyāre all being on their best- ahahahahahahahahahahahahĀ
Fujimaki is making so, so much money.Ā
Highlight of the game for me is when Akashi nearly beaned Kise in the face and Kise froze up and did nothing
Though a close second is Midorima passing to Kise and Kise being AMAZED
(thatās the moment that Akashi scented his weakness)
I canāt decide if Kise was amazed that Midorima passed, or that Midorima passed to him.Ā
I also note that the Purple-Kise-Midorima team is basically the team ofĀ āhas lost to Miragen other than Kurokoā
Hands up, we didnāt get to see the second match because Momoi plays better than Kuroko
I really hope Kagami locked his bedroom before the Miragen got there, but I also see how this spawns 8m aokaga smuts.Ā
Purple being mothered gives me life.Ā
Nigou becoming the immediate focus of the party is realistic to life in every way.Ā
I actually wonder if Kuroko was also being on his best behaviour because Iām not sure not-fanservice Kuroko would have taken AkashiāsĀ āthey named a DOG after youā quite so tamely.Ā
I cannot believe they gave him shojou-heroine smile paneling.Ā
