Yuta Yamanaka’s strength had already been proven in last year’s national tournament.
When facing a heavy-handed defender, he’d blown past them in seconds with his explosive first step.
But against someone like Han—who could match him stride for stride, and whose instincts felt far beyond his years—Yamanaka’s straightforward approach became a glaring weakness.

Boom!
A thunderous slam echoed through the gym, silencing the entire Teikō basketball club.
Even Coach Shirogane instinctively raised his hands to shield his head, eyes wide with disbelief.
Standing beneath the basket, the source of the uproar was none other than Han.
At 1.74 meters tall, Han’s height wasn’t exactly elite-tier for his age...

The first-year team had only managed to scrape together 12 points, all from mid-to-long-range shots. Not a single point had come from under the basket.
In stark contrast, the second string’s 26 points were ruthlessly efficient—every play targeting the paint, punishing the first-years right where it hurt most.
Even when the freshman team scramble...

In a sense, Kuroko wasn’t wrong.
Most people do fall in love with basketball because of pure passion.
The joy of movement. The thrill of the shot. The sound of sneakers on polished wood.
But that kind of innocent love doesn’t always survive the real world.
In modern basketball—or really, in the entire history of the sport—the court is a battlefield.

The sky hung low and heavy, as if a vast gray curtain had been drawn across the village, casting a somber shadow over Konoha.
Before the Memorial Stone, a quiet group stood in solemn silence, each person holding a white chrysanthemum. They had gathered to mourn the passing of an old man—once a revered leader, now a figure consigned to memory.
His life had been marked by both prais...

In the world of Kuroko no Basket, there’s no shortage of hard-working, determined players.
But in the end, it’s always the ones with colorful hair and outrageous talent who steal the spotlight.
Their raw power eclipses the relentless effort of the ordinary.
Before he could aim for the throne of popularity, though, he had to start from the bottom—by adapting to his ...

Han had already left Teikō.
With the new semester still a week away, school hadn't officially started yet.
Now that the enrollment issue was resolved, a new problem cropped up:
"Where the hell am I going to get money?"
A beat of silence.
"Looks like I'll have to find a part-time job."
In Japan, part-time jobs were pretty common—even junior high students of...

Usagi hadn't expected to be assigned to such a lost cause.
Most system hosts were wide-eyed dreamers, full of ambition and resolve. This one? This guy?
All he cared about was chasing girls and stacking cash.

Han shrugged. It wasn't like he never had any. He'd once dreamed big too—right after g...

Tokyo, 2009 — Just another ordinary day.
Han stared at the junior high school girl standing in front of him. She had the same skin tone as him, but it was obvious at a glance—she wasn't from his part of the world.
No… technically, she was the local. He was the outsider now.
Years of obsessively watching movies and anime had sha...

Sure enough, their eyes lit up the moment they heard the news. They were always ready to fight anyone, but even the most reckless among them knew the truth—compared to the Navy, the Whitebeard Pirates without Whitebeard were a far easier target. The Navy wasn’t a soft persimmon; it was a steel wall.
With their new objective set, Blackbeard wasted no time. He led his main force away, r...

“What did you say?!” the other vice admiral snapped. “Don’t mistake caution for cowardice! I’m saying we should stay sharp. One misstep out there, and we’re dead. This battle has eyes watching from every corner!”

Sengoku and Garp paused, their expressions shifting as they recalled the war at Marineford—when Jack had pleaded to take down Blackbeard. At the time, the idea was dismissed.

Akainu didn’t bother to hide his ambition. He declared bluntly that he was more suited to be the Fleet Admiral than Aokiji. After a heated exchange, even Aokiji began to waver, questioning whether he truly deserved the title.

Time passed.
Snow once again blanketed the Iron Country in a heavy, silent white.
At the gates of Land of Iron's capital, Mifune—dressed in full samurai regalia with a white cloth tied neatly around his head—stood respectfully awaiting the arrival of the Fifth Hokage.
"Welcome once again, Hokage-sama," he greeted with a formal bow.

He had already come to terms with things, but that didn’t mean he’d stop probing Jack with questions.
Jack grinned. “He’s free to call for backup too, isn’t he? Not my fault if no one’s willing to fight alongside him. That’s still a fair three-on-one, if you ask me.”
“You weren’t planning an assassination?” Aokiji raised an eyebrow, surprised.

“It’s not just his raw power,” Aokiji explained. “He’s got insane stamina. Guys like me, Sakazuki, or Borsalino—we don’t fear his strength itself. But fighting him is like fighting a wall that never breaks. You give it everything, and it’s still there. And at our level, pride stops us from retreating early. Especially when we’re winning.”

With a deafening crash, Ryokugyu was hurled backward like a cannonball. The ground trembled as he skidded across the battlefield.

In the depths of a dark, gloomy underground base, silence hung like a suffocating fog.

When Jack finally regained consciousness, he let out a shaky breath. “I’m… still alive?” He sat up groggily, scanning his surroundings. Memory returned in fragments—the magma chamber, the mysterious fruit, the searing energy.
