| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I don't think I'd be all that forgiving of Misui if I was one of the team members that got injured in his little raid, especially not if he got a starting position (and I think we all know he will). there was no real surprise in this though, there wouldn't have been a point to wasting all that time on his backstory if he wasn't joining the team. I really hope the pacing of this series improves soon. there are too many unnecessary flashbacks and everything takes just slightly too long to happen. btw, all this drama could have been avoided if that doctor had called either his parents or his school. |
| Yeah, I think everyone expected Mitsui to become part of the team. Poor, broken Mitsui needed to cause a brawl to realize he wanted to play again. >_> I'm a bit bummed that we aren't notified of any consequences for what happened... Edit: It looks like they mention the incident in the next episode. :) |

| I think it was a good turn in that when we first saw Mitsui I don't think anyone could have guessed he would be part of the team. Of course with the backstory and stuff it became more obvious but yeah. @jacobpaige I agree, they could do with less flashbacks.... |
| And enter Mitsui! Yey!!! xD |
 |
| Mitsui's reason for changing wasn't as deep as I thought, but I still enjoyed this episode and all of the emotions that came with it, especially Kogure's heartfelt talk of his dreams. Guessing this is going to be their official top 5 players for the inter-high, hoping to see some games inbound. |
 |
| She-male has new hairdo lol. Now the top 5 players for Shohoku is complete. |
 |
| Rukawa, Miyagi, Akagi, Hanamichi and Mitsui! Dream team. |
| Hopefully this is the last of these backstory episodes, the pace has slowed down far too much, we need to get back to some Sakuragi-focused storylines. |

| Seriously, going to such extent to make us despise a character, only to sugarcoat it with a lame backstory to make us pity him ? Sorry but that doesn't work. All these flashbacks and quarelling are just tedious to watch... This has been going on for so many episodes now, can we please get back on track ? |
| With Mitsui coming back, the team keeps getting stronger and stronger. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I couldn't ask for better and that when that ost played was so freaking great. |
| We're gettin' the team back together, goin' to Nationals. Alright! These were some tense episodes, I didn't know where it'd all lead when it started but oh boy those were some emotional tough guy moments. This anime is great. |
| That's what happen to people who can't wait. Mitsui's story is too long, annoying! So they end it with that? No punishment for outsiders and students who fight and make ruckus? |
 |
| This made Mitsui as one of my favorite players in the game. Anazai Sensei, I want to play Basketball!!! One of the saddest moment in all sports Anime. Shohoku is definitely going to be more stronger! |
| Mitsui got a haircut and joined the team again.... Shohoku team is even more op now. hell yeah! |
 |
| It's pretty hilarious to see some here complaining about Mitsui's backstory lol. The main point of it is not for us to show pity in his character whatsoever, but rather it is to show us exactly how sorry of a person he is to just quit his dreams and ambition in basketball but despite of that, there's still a chance of redemption left for him. Anyways this was one of the best episodes in Slam Dunk imo, very powerful! |

| 'i'm the main character here' sakuragi is self-aware lmao. i thought mitsui was just gonna be another minor character pushed to the side but i like the twist he's gotten. |
 |
| I’m actually glad he joined the team again. However, it might take a while before the other players are comfortable around him. But don’t let Mitsui see how Sakuragi treats the coach, he might lose it again haha |
 |
| banger backstory!! the fifth is finally here and the squad is assembled?? |
