To cap off the month of October, I’ll be doing tonight’s update that will be dedicated to Yumi Uchiyama, whose birthday will be tomorrow (October 30). Born in Tokyo, Yumi Uchiyama is the voice actress of Kaori Minato (Ro-Kyu-Bu!), Arata Sagimuri (Saki), Ruri Miyamoto (Nisekoi), Yoko Inokuma (Kin-iro Mosaic), Fū Inubōzaki (Yuki Yuna is a Hero), Yūma Tokoyogi (Strike the Blood), Erika Chiba (The Irregular at the Magic High School) and Hajime Nishimura (Slow Start). I'm so happy that she had continued her voice acting career because she was known for confident and caring characters she voiced for. Hopefully, she will continue making her progress in her voice acting career as she had been a confident voice actress for nearly 10 years. Advanced happy birthday, Yumi! Also, tomorrow (October 30) will be my family vacation with my family and my cousins, which means I won’t be posting a new update until this weekend. Hopefully, once the month of November is finally here, it’s time for me to make the series more harmonizing and more beautiful as the next set of updates will be focused on the formation of the extended group for the Family of Angels. Now, onto tonight’s update!
In the previous update, the boys of the Rainbow Angels have finally formed their brand new Complete Synchronization Skill, which will be used as a strong formidable strategy to defeat Ryuuichi Suga and the Magome Elites-Team Suga. Tonight’s update will be the final part of the match between the boys of the Rainbow Angels and the Magome Elites-Team Suga as this is going to be a real showdown between Subaru Hasegawa and Ryuuichi Suga. Which team will finally walk away with the win in this match? If you’re ready to see the most thrilling part of this match, let’s get into tonight’s update as here comes the final part of the match, which is also the second part of Chapter 146, with the title, “One Brave Match with an Angelic Moment! (Part 2)”! Enjoy reading the second part of Chapter 146!
Once the buzzer had been sounded, the timeout is finished and the match had been resumed with the boys of the Rainbow Angels are hopefully going to finish the match with an important win against the Magome Elites-Team Suga. The name of their Complete Synchronization Skill is the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy. It was the enhanced version of the Brave Rainbow Strategy, which was used to allow the players to increase their speed, pressure and strength when they’re battling against opponents in a game. This was Subaru’s strategy, which was usually made in the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team. When the Brave Rainbow Strategy had been upgraded into the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy, they will finally perform their special moves as fast as they can, which they are now incorporating their four symbols of the Rainbow Angels: heart-minded, enthusiasm, cooperation and bravery. They finally have their chance to groove with their special moves through their colored auras. The boys of the Rainbow Angels would finally make their comeback, thanks to their new Complete Synchronization Skill, and they give Subaru more power to become stronger like his father and his friend Kazuhiro Hatakenaka. However, Ryuuichi didn’t give as he found his way to score it back with his fadeaway three-point shot version of the Thunderbird Projector to regain the lead with just 2. But fortunately, Subaru knows that it’s his time to finish the match with their final possession as he and his teammates made a perfect plan to finish the match with something that is an angelic moment. Subaru believes that he’s the Braveheart Sensation as he is very brave to be the best player in Ōta. Will Subaru and his boys have finally completed their vengeance against Ryuuichi and his former teammates? Or will Ryuuichi once again embarrassed Subaru to stop the comeback? This match would be thrilled to be and it’s very intense that this match may consider this the start of a new era in Ōta as the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon may probably be the beginning of a new glory for their young players to shine.

The montage shows Subaru and his boys coming back from the bench to battle against Ryuuichi Suga and the Magome Elites-Team Suga. While Subaru and his boys have tried to get their momentum back in trying to pull off the rally against his rival and his team, Ryuuichi and his team are still dominating the game with only three minutes left. The buzzer was sounded when the timeout was called for the Rainbow Angels.
At the bench of the Rainbow Angels, Jirō and Kazuhiro are talking with the boys of the Rainbow Angels about their performance against Ryuuichi’s team.
“We’re almost out there to regain the lead, but Ryuuichi had refueled his energy to storm back to score. I can’t believe that this is getting complicated than I thought” said Jirō.
“Yeah, Jirō-kun. It’s been expected that we have been trailed by 15 earlier before we were able to catch up” said Subaru.
“We have done it in the second quarter, but now, there’s no time to run out for this moment to make a miracle” said Kazunari.
“Kauznari’s right, Jirō. I know that the match is expected to be a favor for us, but Ryuuichi had been leading his team without taking down the pointers to dominate” said Shinsuke Nagatomo.
“If there’s something we can turn this game up, we could score more in a better way” said Junichi Kamisaka.
“Yeah, I see the point right now, Junichi. Good thing that your teamwork level is almost reaching high, preparing yourselves to use your Complete Synchronization Skill” said Jirō.
“Really, Jirō-kun?” asked Subaru with a surprise expression on his face.
“Yeah, Subaru!” said Jirō.
“I never thought how we worked hard to take our teamwork level going up, but we still have more things to deal with before activating the Complete Synchronization Skill” said Subaru.
“Exactly true, Subaru-kun. I believe your friend Aoi when she was battling against the Sounds and Maples earlier. I have seen her like a good gal, grooving her way to score in the paint. I assumed that you need to turn the game up with your inspiration. Now that I realized that you’re almost reaching the point in going for another level, I think that it’s the good time for you to synchronize your team in a full scale” said Kazuhiro.
“Oh, now I understand what you’re saying, Hatakenaka-kun. It’s been a while that my boys have grooved well with our usual Brave Rainbow Strategy, but I’m not sure if we’re going for it” said Subaru.
“Uh… I don’t know if you’re going to keep on using the Brave Rainbow Strategy, but…” said Kazuhiro before he would be interrupted by Keiko and the girls.
Keiko talks to Kazuhiro with a different thought she’s giving an idea. “Maybe, if they can power up with their Complete Synchronization Skill, but to modify of their own.”
“Oh, yes, Keiko-san. I know that better idea what our boys need to do” said Kazuhiro.
Subaru was puzzled about this as he asks Kazuhiro something that might be intriguing. “What do you mean ‘better idea’, Hatakenaka-kun?”
“Keiko had an idea of using your Complete Synchronization Skill before you modify it with a different aura” said Kazuhiro.
“Different aura?” asked Subaru.
“Yeah, Subaru-san! I looked at Aoi and her team earlier when they used their Complete Synchronization Skill. Their auras are colorful in different colors, which is why you’re planning to power up your team groove with a different aura to come out” said Keiko.
“Then, how did you know about Aoi and her team’s Complete Synchronization Skill?” asked Kazunari.
“It’s simple. They have to work on their team chemistry to increase their teamwork level, which means that they should synchronize together as a team, so that they’ll power up their special moves” said Keiko.
“And then, when they’re powering up, they have different colors of their aura being come out. That will allow them to groove in a different level” said Mika.
“Oh, I see it now, girls. I finally understand what you’re saying” said Subaru.
“That’s why you need to charge yourself to use the Complete Synchronization Skill, so that you and your teammates will shine through” said Kazuhiro.
“Okay, I get it, Hatakenaka-kun!” said Subaru.
“But what the color of the aura would be, Subaru?” asked Jirō.
“Uh… I don’t know which color I’ll choose, but…” said Subaru.
“Look at our auras in our earlier match against the Sounds and Maples, Subaru!” said Tomoka.
“We used the color of fuchsia, blue, celadon and red orange” said Aoi.
“It is the symbol of determination, inspiration, harmony and courage” said Mimi.
“So, what color would you use for your team?” asked Jun.
Subaru would finally make an answer to the question the girls asked. “It will be crimson, fuchsia, sky blue and pastel green.”
“Well, you made an answer, Subaru. So, what those four colors symbolize?” said Keiko.
“Pastel green represents…” said Subaru, which leads to Junichi Morizawa answering it.
“Heart-minded, Subaru.” said Junichi Morizawa. “It means that we’re believing to inspire through our hearts.”
“Okay, I get it, Morizawa-kun” said Subaru. “Then, sky blue represents…”
Junichi Kamisaka completes the sentence. “Enthusiasm.”
“Oh, yes. Enthusiasm. I believe that we have enthusiasm to show our true power” said Subaru.
“That’s a nice answer, Junichi! I know that it’s going to be your time to shine very soon with the Complete Synchronization Skill” said Megumi.
“Well, thanks, Megumi!” said Junichi Kamisaka.
“Now, we have the color fuchsia. That color represents…” said Subaru before Dairoku answers it to complete the sentence.
“It will be cooperation” said Dairoku.
“Why cooperation, Dairoku?” asked Jun.
“It’s a symbol of friendship that puts our team harmonizing in inspiring everyone” said Dairoku.
“That sounds cool, Dairoku-chan! I like that symbolization!” said Jun.
“That would make your team more friendly to either opponents or allies inside and out” said Nozomi.
“Yeah, that’s true, Nozomi!” said Dairoku.
“Now, the only color remain would be crimson, Subaru” said Kazunari.
“So, what that would be?” asked Masanobu Uehara.
“Well, as a matter of fact, it is our bravery that stored in our mind, body and soul” said Subaru.
“Oh, yeah, Subaru! That’s what we thought in middle school” said Kazunari.
“Yeah, Kazunari! We used to shine our way back in Kirihara when we’re on a rally to make it to the final of the prefectural tournament. We were able to rally around to win games through our willpower” said Subaru.
“Yeah, I agree what you’re saying about bravery, Subaru! I believe that we can name the Complete Synchronization Skill for your team” said Kazuhiro.
“I believe so, Hatakenaka-kun. I think that I will name our team’s Complete Synchronization Skill as the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy” said Subaru.
“That fits that name to our personality of being brave and bold enough to win, Subaru!” said Yoshitsugu.
“Of course, Yoshitsugu-kun! It’s been a while that we were working together as one family of bravehearts and angels, but also, we want to be more blessed and inspired. Right, boys?” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said the boys of the Rainbow Angels while Tomoka and the girls smile to them. Jirō and Kazuhiro would smile as well.
“Well, it’s for your gratitude to be more blessed and inspired, Subaru” said Aoi.
“Since we believe that your team can have the hope to defeat Ryuuichi’s team, I think that it’s time for you and your team to activate your new Complete Synchronization Skill in the court” said Tomoka.
“If you think that you’re good enough to stop Ryuuichi and his team, then we’ll help you to work on that special skill” said Mimi.
“That would make our team better than ever, Mimi. I think that we should be all rise together, so that we’ll have our job done” said Junichi Morizawa.
“Yep” said Mimi.
“Subaru-chan, we’ll help Jirō and Kazuhiro to work on your new Complete Synchronization Skill to make sure that you’re all set to finish the game with the win” said Jun.
“Yes, it will, Jun-san! I’m feeling confident about that since we’re still getting developed in making our progress better. I’m sure that this time, it’s our chance to groove more like the way we did in our previous games” said Subaru.
“Then, expect to see your pride, courage and willpower for your team to win, Subaru-san!” said Tomoka.
“You got it!” said Subaru. He would shout to his friends with his motivation going up as soon as he’s ready to shine again. “Let’s work together to have our team’s new Complete Synchronization Skill for the last three minutes of the game!”
“Yeah!” said Jirō, Kazuhiro and the members of the Rainbow Angels as they’re going to work together in making the new Complete Synchronization Skill of the boys’ team of the Rainbow Angels, the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy.
While the timeout break is still ongoing, Aina Furukawa meets with the members of the Sounds and Maples as he’s going to seat with one of her friends in her neighborhood, Fumiko Tatsumi. Fumiko, a first year middle school student, is a member of the Sounds and Maples, coming from the Ōmori Dainana Middle School.
“Hey, everyone!” said Aina as she greets the members of the Sounds and Maples.
“Well, you’re finally here to watch the final three minutes of the game, Aina!” said Fumiko Tatsumi.
“You’re just in time to see the moment that Subaru and his team are going to activate their new Complete Synchronization Skill!” said Hikaru Maeyama.
“Ah, I see! Wait a minute, Hikaru-san. How did you know about that?” said Aina.
“You see, we talked to Tomoka and her friends in a conversation earlier about how the Complete Synchronization Skill worked for Subaru and his team” said Hikaru.
“Then, that little girl from Fukuoka said to us that with their opponents are Ryuuichi and his former teammates, Subaru and his team will activate another Complete Synchronization Skill, which is going to be different from the one she saw earlier” said Miyaka Katayama.
The flashback shows the members of the Sounds and Maples talking with Tomoka and her friends earlier.
“So, how Subaru and his team worked on their Complete Synchronization Skill?” asked Hikaru.
“That’s a good question, Hikaru-san. I know that you have seen them earlier in the semifinals, but this is all about speed and acceleration. The name of their Complete Synchronization Skill is the Brave Rainbow Strategy. The Brave Rainbow Strategy is an all-pressured strategy with all players are increasing their strength, pressure and speed while in the court” said Tomoka.
“When they’re activating their special strategy, they will increase their speed, pressure and strength while glowing their body with their crimson aura. This is Subaru’s own strategy to dominate the game, but if when it comes to his other teammates, they have that too” said Aoi.
“For Junichi Kamisaka, it is the Azure Camellia Strategy” said Mimi.
“While for Kazunari, it is the Shining Moon Action Play” said Jun.
“The Rainbow Angels have usually used these special strategies to energize themselves to win. It’s great to say that they have their combination of cooperation and willpower being worked out for them to groove” said Megumi.
“Right now, as they’re playing against Ryuuichi’s team, I believe that they’re going to change their course as they might be going to end up changing their strategy to defeat Ryuuichi and his team” said Keiko.
“You mean, they’re going for another plan to stop Ryuuichi and his former teammates in Shizuno?” asked Hikaru.
“Yeah, Hikaru-san! Since Subaru and Ryuuichi were rivals for a long time, they have their time to clash with their moves to show the stronger one is” said Keiko.
“That’s why Subaru and his team will be ready to have their own secret weapon to defeat Ryuuichi and his team” said Mika.
“Then, what that would be?” asked Miyaka Katayama.
“It’s some sort of making steadfast plays to shine while increasing their motivation to work together” said Mika.
“It’s more like the Blue Verdant Fukuoka when Kazuhiro and his boys worked their way to play smart” said Masayo.
“Ah, I think that it would be a big change for Subaru and his team to perform very well. I mean, they have been in a good shape when they’re having a rally to score points inside and out, but this time, with his rival is his target, he will use his tricks to show who the best player in our hometown is” said Hikaru.
“That’s right, Hikaru-san! If there’s anyone who can stop Ryuuichi and his team, it’s gotta be Subaru and his boys who have true determination and relentless courage to show their true meaning of formation” said Mariko.
“Without it, there will be no blessing in our hometown” said Michiko.
“Well, that’s true, Mariko-san. It seems that Ryuuichi had been the top player in Ōta since he defeated Subaru in the prefectural tournament final two years ago, but with a potential return of their rivalry has been fulfilled just only for this tournament, this will be a perfect time for Subaru to prove Ryuuichi that he’ll be the top player in Ōta very soon” said Hikaru.
“Yes, he will, Hikaru. There’s no way they can stop the Braveheart Sensation once he’s grooving his way to defeat them with his own willpower” said Aoi.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Hikaru while her groupmates from her group nod their faces as well. The flashback ends with Aina replying to Hikaru and her groupmates about a new Complete Synchronization Skill for Subaru and his team.
“Well, that sounds like Subaru and his boys are going to have their new strategy to stop Ryuuichi and his team” said Aina.
“You’re correct, Aina! That is why this would be their only hope to defeat Ryuuichi and his former teammates in Shizuno” said Hikaru.
“Once they’re going to activate their new Complete Synchronization Skill, they’ll finally be ready to take them out for good!” said Shinnosuke Nagashima.
“Yeah, I agree, Hikaru-san and Shinnosuke-kun! Hopefully, they’re walk away with the victory and become champions of the boys’ tournament of the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament!” said Aina.
“You bet!” said Shinnosuke and Hikaru.
The boys and girls of the Rainbow Angels finish working on the new Complete Synchronization Skill for Subaru and his boys to groove more.
“It’s time to make this special strategy coming out with our willpower to win this game!” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said the boys of the Rainbow Angels.
With that, the boys of the Rainbow Angels would do their team chant, this time, the girls will be joining because they have helped them to create the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy. Jirō and Kazuhiro shouts first to lead the chant. “One…”
Tomoka, Mimi, Aoi, Keiko, Mika and Masayo follow the routine of the chant by continuing the chant. “Two…”
Subaru, Kazunari, Junichi Kamisaka and Junichi Morizawa would shout the next count with his pride, courage and willpower. “Three…”
The boys of the Rainbow Angels shout together in unison to energize themselves for their next possession. “Rise together, Rainbow Angels!”
Subaru, Kazunari, Junichi Kamisaka, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku would go back to the court as they’re ready to activate their new Complete Synchronization Skill, so that they’ll defeat Ryuuichi and his former teammates from Shizuno.
As their possession starts, Subaru and his boys have glowed their auras, powering up to use their special moves. Junichi Kamisaka passes the ball to Subaru before Subaru runs through the other side of the court. Subaru would be confronted by Ryuuichi.
“Your aura is looking good right now, Subaru. I never expect to see that for the moment, even you didn’t have that before” said Ryuuichi.
“Yep. This is my power-up move to make sure that I’m going to dazzle against you. Usually, this is my trick to make me dazzle. Now that I have my aura in my body, I’m going to make sure that you’ll see my secret weapon” said Subaru.
“What ‘secret weapon’ you’re talking about, Subaru?” asked Ryuuichi.
“You’ll see” said Subaru as he goes with the between the legs move on Ryuuichi. Ryuuichi steps back one bit while Subaru grooves his way with his own pattern. The pattern he used is the one that he used during their first match between each other.
“What that move is that, Ryuuichi?” asked Yūya.
“I don’t know what he’s doing here, Yūya. I have to make sure that he will not be able to drive past me” said Ryuuichi.
“Yeah, you got this, Ryuuichi! You did that before in our game against Kirihara two years ago” said Yukio.
“Then, I’m going to do this again!” said Ryuuichi.
“Okay, then” said Yukio.
“You can do it, Ryuuichi!” said Yūya.
“Alright!” said Ryuuichi as he is going for his special move, the Behemoth Surge, trying to be more positive in his strength.
Kazunari shouts at Subaru while seeing Ryuuichi’s aura glowing up. “Watch out, Subaru! He’s using that Behemoth Surge!”
Ryuuichi is charging his way to make sure that he will block Subaru’s patterns with his own pattern. Then, Ryuuichi shouts at Subaru like a behemoth. “Now, it’s time for you to be down, Subaru!”
From the bench, the Bravehearts (both Tokyo and Fukuoka) and the Rainbow Angels are worrying about Subaru while Kazuhiro and Jirō are shout at their lungs.
“Watch out, Subaru!” said Kazuhiro.
“He’s coming at you!” said Jirō.
Subaru replies to Ryuuichi while his aura is glowing through his willpower. “No, you won’t, Ryuuichi-kun. You’ll never gonna make it.” As Ryuuichi is about to use his trick to steal the ball away from Subaru, Subaru finally makes his way by using the Miracle Redgate to make a dash in driving past Ryuuichi.
“Oh, my goodness!” said Murayama.
“Isn’t that the Redgate Ignition?” asked Katase.
“Yes, it was, Katase-san, but on a different level” said Aina.
“Oh, I see. But what that move is?” said Katase.
“It’s called the Miracle Redgate. It’s the enhanced move of the Redgate Ignition” said Shinnosuke.
“It’s the move that Subaru cannot lose his willpower because he’s the Braveheart Sensation. He can shine his way to keep his cool just like his father did” said Hikaru.
“Wow! That sounds awesome, Shinnosuke and Hikaru! I never expect to see that move that is stronger than anyone else’s dribbling moves” said Katase.
“That move would make him dazzle too good to get away from his opponents in a single rush” said Murayama.
“Yep. This move will make him stronger with his speed and acceleration being increased and he can go for special moves simultaneously” said Aina.
“Yeah, we agree, Aina-san!” said Murayama and Katase.
With Ryuuichi being driven out by his special move, Subaru would jump high to shoot the ball with the Phantom Floater and with his crimson aura coming out, the ball drives to the basket simultaneously. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 96, Rainbow Angels 89]
“Nice shot, Subaru!” said Tomoka.
“You’re doing awesome with that move!” said Aoi.
“What a great move!” said Keiko.
“I’m so happy that you have finally showed your true formation!” said Masayo.
“I’m so proud of you, Subaru-chan! You’re the Braveheart Sensation who can dash your way to groove!” said Jun.
“Thanks, everyone! It feels like my strength had been increased the way I performed” said Subaru.
“Yeah, that’s right, Subaru! Since you’re on fire now, your team now activates the new Complete Synchronization Skill” said Jirō.
“It means you and your teammates now have your auras coming out for the rest of the game” said Kazuhiro.
“Wow! That’s awesome, Hatakenaka-kun! I’m very confident that my team will win this game for sure! Right, boys?” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said Junichi Kamisaka, Kazunari, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
“But wait, Subaru, there’s more!” said Keiko.
“More?” surprised Subaru.
“What’s ‘more’?” asked Kazunari.
“You can copy any special move from your anyone while the new Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy was active in their play” said Mika.
“Whether you can copy from us or from your opponents, it’s up to you to use it” said Keiko.
“Okay, I understand, girls! I’m sure that this will turn our fortune to be true” said Subaru.
“Yeah, I agree, Subaru!” said Keiko and Mika.
“I did that when my team had played against Suzuridani and it makes me motivated to use any move from my friends on my side. Isn’t that cool that you can do that, Subaru-chan?” said Mimi.
“Yes, of course, Mimi! I will do it to make sure that my team will shine our way to victory!” said Subaru.
“I’m sure that you’ll be motivated to use any move you desire, especially you did that earlier in the second quarter” said Mimi.
“Okay, Mimi! I feel you to be motivated!” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said Mimi.
“Now, let’s make our moment to win this game!” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said Junichi Kamisaka, Kazunari, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
“Good luck, Subaru and the team! Just make us proud!” said Tomoka.
“We’ll be cheering for you!” said Aoi, Maho, Saki, Airi, Hinata, Kagetsu, Mimi, Tsubaki, Hiiragi, Masami, Miyu, Aya, Rena and the other members of the Rainbow Angels.
“Wow! That’s a lot of determined you can do that for us, everyone! Thank you very much! I’m feeling enthusiastic tonight because I can’t finally wait to win this!” said Subaru.
“Now, win this match for us!” said Kazuhiro.
“Just like what Tomoka said earlier, make us proud, Subaru!” said Jirō.
“Okay, we will, Jirō-sensei!” said Subaru, Junichi Kamisaka, Kazunari, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
The match continues with the boys of the Rainbow Angels are now switching their focus from offense to defense. Now that the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy being played, Subaru and his boys are ready to make their moment to win their game against Ryuuichi and his team. The background song for the final 3 minutes of the match is 「Get goal! 」 by RO-KYU-BU! This song is also the opening theme song of Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS.
Ryuuichi runs thorough the other side of the court before he would be confronted by Subaru. “You’re too good, Subaru. I know that you’re going insane with that move, but that was remarkable.”
“Thanks, Ryuuichi-kun. I never expect how I did because thanks to my willpower, my team finally have the Complete Synchronization Skill in our play’ said Subaru.
“Ah, good for you” said Ryuuichi, but he’s returning to serious mode. “But now that we have both auras, it’s time to see who can survive this clash.”
“You bet, Ryuuichi-kun! I never expect to see both of us with auras coming in unlike before. I hope that you’ll be ready to see the difference between our auras while I’m going to get easy on you!” said Subaru.
“That would be my pleasure, Subaru” said Ryuuichi before he’s charging up with his yellow aura like an electric shock. “Now, let’s duel!”
“Sure thing!” said Subaru. The clash between auras would begin with Ryuuichi and Subaru use their pivots to have their patterns to shine. Ryuuichi performs the crossover move on Subaru while Subaru uses his defensive play with his Braveheart Shield.
“Wow! Look at Subaru’s aura, Maho!” said Saki while pointing at Subaru’s crimson aura. “He’s finally using his own defense with his aura.”
“That’s beautiful, Saki! I never see that before when Subaru is playing on a different level, but I would say that he is finally ready to go on fire” said Maho.
“Being on fire would be his finest way to show his true formation whenever he’s playing on either offense or defense” said Miho Kumada.
“Subaru is resembled to Kazuhiro because of the former’s relentless strength can create shockwaves to groove” said Hisako Uehara.
“But on the bright side, he can shine his way without losing his willpower” said Yasuhisa Yoshida.
“I agree, Yasuhisa! When Subaru is on fire, he can take over the court by dashing his way to perform his tricks” said Saki.
“Tricks can be crazier than special moves” said Maho.
“That is if he’s an ace for a stronger team like Nashiba” said Yasuhisa.
“It’s going to be more fun to have Subaru playing as a sharpshooter or a playmaker because he can get his job done” said Miho.
“Like the other aces we saw in the tournament, Subaru have been performing the most because he can dazzle his way to the top” said Hisako.
“Yeah!” said Maho, Saki, Miho and Yasuhisa.
Ryuuichi and Subaru clash with each other in the court where Ryuuichi tries to get away from Subaru with his Behemoth Surge. They make it to the paint and then, Ryuuichi steps back before doing the spin move to drive past Subaru with his Thunderstruck Incinerator.
“Haha! There’s nothing you can stop me, Subaru! I’m going to…” said Ryuuichi as he’s about to shoot the ball with the Shocking Floater, but Yoshitsugu would block that shot with the First Note Blocker. “What the?! Are you kidding me?!”
“Bet that you didn’t know what’s going on, Ryuuichi! Too bad that you will not gonna make it, you know!” said Yoshitsugu.
“Alright! What a block by Yoshitsugu!” said Yurika Nakaido.
“’Not on my wrath!’ says Yoshitsugu. That nasty block had been stronger than before, thanks to the effects of the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy” said Masahiko.
“His strength had been improved since he played on the four” said Tadaoki.
“Yep. He played as a small forward and a power forward” said Naruhita Tatsuta.
“When it comes to his size, he can literally catch more stamina to strengthen his hustle while doing his defensive play” said Mituski Nakata.
“I believe that Yoshitsugu have shown his true formation by using his hustle to block Ryuuichi’s shot right on time” said Sayako Ōno.
“That will make Ryuuichi upset because of this” said Sakura.
“Yeah, Sakura! There’s nothing Ryuuichi can do with that once he’s missing the shots fairly” said Kyō.
“Yeah!” said Yurika, Masahiko, Tadaoki, Naruhita, Mitsuki and Sayako.
Junichi Kamisaka grabs the ball with the rebound while his azure aura coming out. He later shouts at Dairoku before passing the ball to him with the Azure Sword Pass. “Dairoku-kun, catch!”
Dairoku was able to catch the ball easily. “Got it!”
“Wow! Dairoku grabs the ball easily!” said Yurika Hashida.
“That’s how big guys like him going for the hustle!” said Katsuya.
“You got that right, Katsuya-san! Anyone knows that Dairoku will be here to show his willpower through his heart” said Sawako Ishihara.
“Just like the other boys in his team, he’s always going for the pressure to take his opponents out with his strength” said Yoko Shimizu.
“That’s right, Yoko! Dairoku should be in a good shape to use any strengthening move to go for the broke” said Katsuya.
“I’m sure that their performance had been improving since they have their new Complete Synchronization Skill, but hopefully, they’ll finally have the moment to win” said Yūki Sasaki.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Yurika Hashida and Yoko Shimizu while Katsuya and Sawako nod their faces to agree.
Dairoku would run with the Fuchsia Oak Rush and then, performing the Dubious Wavechanger to get away from Haruki. The Dubious Wavechanger is a special move made by Kenta Saeki.
“You’re down, boy!” said Darioku while increasing his strength with his fuchsia aura. Dairoku passes the ball to Kazunari with the Shiny Oak Pass. “Here’s the pass to you!”
“Good pass, Dairoku! You rock!” said Kazunari while smirking on his face. Kazunari steps back with the fake, going away from Yukio before shooting the ball with the Quickwater Velocity Three-Point Projection, a special move made by Yasuhisa Yoshida. “Take this, Yukio!” The ball would drive into the basket quickly like a sonic boom. This would trim the lead of Ryuuichi’s team to just 4. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 96, Rainbow Angels 92]
“Would you look at that, girls? Kazunari had been using a different move!” said Airi.
“Oh! Kazunari-chan had been on fire as well, Airi-chan! His three-point shots can’t miss!” said Hinata.
“When he is on the corner or in the deep, he can bank three-point shots with his acceleration” said Sana Kushibiki.
“True, Sana-san! Anyone who is good in making threes must have his acceleration going up when he’s going to for the three” said Miwako Tanaka.
“So far, Kazunari had been performing three-point shots the most while Junichi and Subaru have shot a few” said Aya.
“Yeah, that’s true, Aya! Their comeback had been stronger than the last time, but with the Complete Synchronization Skill on, they’re going for the momentum” said Airi.
“Sounds like they’re almost there to tie the game, girls. I’m going to say that they’re going to get more good teamwork plays before Ryuuichi and his team try to respond it back” said Rena.
“We can’t let the Rainbow Angels lose, girls! They’ll be here to be blessed and inspired!” said Kurumi.
“Ah, I totally agree, Kurumi-chan! There’s no way they’ll break their hearts apart if they lose against Ryuuichi” said Hinata.
“The more they perform with their dazzling moves, the better they have the rally to go on” said Sana.
“Yeah!” said Airi, Hinata, Aya, Rena, Kurumi and Miwako.
The next possession would be a clash between Junichi and Yūya as Yūya tries to drive past Junichi with his Sonicbreeze Dazzler, but Junichi can’t give up because he’s not gonna let his team down.
“Come on, Junichi! You can do it!” said Yoshitsugu Nakagawa.
“Lock him down with your defense before you do the right move!” said Ran Mikazuki.
“Take him out with your aura!” said Risa Nagasaki.
“Don’t let him shoot!” said Mito.
“The aura is on to you, Junichi! You got this to shine it out!” said Kotoe.
“You got this, Junichi! We believe in you!” said Kōichi.
“Yeah, we want to see you shine!” said Tadamoto Inoue.
“The more you stop him, the better you take him out with your aura!” said Atsuko Maeyama.
Junichi keeps his defense in guard to make sure that Yūya won’t drive past him. Yūya steps back before doing the crossover escape move on Junichi, getting away from him, but Junichi steals the ball with his Azure Dragon’s Eye move.
“What?! You gotta be kidding me!” exclaimed Yūya.
“Sorry, but you can’t stop me with my own power!” said Junichi as he grabs the ball for the steal. Junichi dashes his way to the paint before shooting the ball with the Azure Eyecatch Shot. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 96, Rainbow Angels 94]
“Nice shot, Junichi!” said Megumi.
“You’re shining your way to shoot!” said Kazue Ōgaki.
“The steal and the dunk have never paid off for Junichi to get him stronger!” said Naoko Andō.
“I’m so glad that you have shown your own aura to groove!” said Anzu.
“Yeah, Anzu! That dunk was so cool that he had been using that in his game against Musashi” said Kazue Futagawa.
“That’s right, Kazue-san! Junichi had been on fire in the entire tournament before helping Subaru in this match. Junichi and Subaru have been buddies since they were on the same team” said Anzu.
“Being on the same team means teamwork, Anzu!” said Natsuko Sakura.
“Yeah, I agree, Natsuko!” said Anzu.
“Junichi is always coming out to show his eyes to glow with his strength” said Kazue Futagawa.
“There’s nothing they can stop Junichi now!” said Shōzō.
“Yeah!” said Megumi, Kazue Ōgaki, Naoko, Anzu, Kazue Futagawa and Natsuko Sakura.
Later, Ryuuichi didn’t want to end this match as he decides to go on a different circuit by doing the Behemoth Surge to make him stronger. “I don’t want to have their comeback to fulfill. I just want to win this game to make sure that I’m still the best player in Ōta!” Strengthening his special move, he performs the crossover move on Subaru before doing the Shocking Frame Fake on Subaru as he gets away from him.
“Oh, my goodness!” said Atsuko Hatano.
“Ryuuichi hadn’t give up yet!” said Yuichi Uchida.
“That guy had still his aura coming out!” said Mao Kayano.
Grinning on his face, Ryuuichi passes the ball to Yūya with the Thunderbird Pass before shouing at him. “Shoot, boy!”
“Okay!” said Yūya as he is shooting the ball with the Soundbolt Projection and the ball drives to the basket. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 99, Rainbow Angels 94]
“Wow! That three-point shot was so good!” said Jirō Matsuoka.
“That guy’s shot had been compared to Junichi’s, Jirō” said Yūichiro Kuritsu.
“Yep. Their level had been matched ever since both teams have their auras activated” said Jirō Matsuoka.
“But also, Yūya had been a successful three-point shooter, compared to the other guys in Shizuno” said Junichi Nonaka.
“I agree, Junichi. He’s currently playing in Tsubasa High School, being the sixth man for that school’s varsity team” said Ichirō Satō.
“If he wants to shoot with his shining path, he has to work on his acceleration to do that shot” said Yūichiro Kurisu.
“Yep. This is going to be dangerous for the Rainbow Angels as we have 1:45 left in the game” said Jirō Matsuoka.
“Hopefully, their comeback would be completed to walk away with the win” said Ichirō Satō.
“Yeah!” said Jirō Matsuoka.
Junichi passes the ball to Subaru with the Azure Sword Pass before Subaru meeting with Ryuuichi once again. Both Subaru and Ryuuichi are on their aura mode, meaning anything can drain their stamina through the Microwave ability.
“You surprised me with that fake, but let’s see if I prove myself like this!” said Subaru as makes his way to level up his Miracle Redgate through the Braveheart Boost. Subaru performs the between the legs move on Ryuuichi before switching it to the ankle breaker. Ryuuichi would lose his balance, almost getting stumbled before Subaru steps back to shoot the ball with the Phantom Three-Point Shot.
“You’re too far, Ryuuichi-kun!” said Subaru before the ball drives to the basket like a comet. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 99, Rainbow Angels 97]
“Nice combination of moves and nice shot, Subaru!” said Kazunari as he gives Subaru a high five.
“Yeah! I’m feeling god now, Kazunari-kun! It’s getting better and better to make a comeback!” said Subaru.
“You’re right, boy!” said Kazunari.
“Yes! Subaru makes the combination of his own, using his Braveheart Boost to simulate his moves easily” said Seijirō.
“That ankle breaker is nothing Ryuuichi can do now after he lost his balance” said Chihiro Himejima.
“Yep! I’m going to say that Subaru had been working hard to be the best player in Ōta, but he had to battle the guy who have rivalled him for almost of his basketball career” said Seiichirō.
“Yeah, Seiichirō-san! This match may be epic than their previous one two years ago” said Misaki Natukawa.
“But hopefully, when they’re in uniforms once again for the clash…” said Nagisa Togashi.
“…it’s going to be Subaru’s time to prove the ground better” said Hajime Okuno.
“You got that right, girls! It’s going to happen right now!” said Seijirō.
Ryuuichi passes the ball to Yukio before Yukio battles against Kazunari. Kazunari uses the Mind Observation to make that Yukio will miss his shot at any cost. Yukio performs the behind the back move on Kazunari, but Kazunari guards him tightly.
“Yeah, you can do it, Uehara-kun!” said Asuna Hayashida.
“Give that opponent a lesson in using that strength!” said Kenshō Aoyagi.
“Go, get them, brother!” said Kazuya.
“Take that guy out!” said Ryōta Nakamura.
“You got it!” said Kazunari with a smile on his face after seeing his friends from the Innocent Charm and the Orange and Fuchsia.
Kazunari and Yukio clash with each other in the paint before Yukio goes with the Red Brave Energizing Fake on Kazunari, but Kazunari keeps his defense at bay.
“Not so fast, Yukio! You’re not gonna go a fake on me!” said Kazunari.
“Wow! Look at his defense!” said Ai.
“He’s stopping Yukio with his special move!” said Kira.
“That Bluewall Barrier from Yasuhisa made Kazunari so good with his defense right now” said Hanako Kotobuki.
“Yasuhisa had been a good sharpshooter when it comes to playing smart in the court” said Mizuki.
“Yasuhisa shared his aura with Kazunari when you compared to each other” said Kazuko.
“But also, they have their same title of Dragons with their personalities they have” said Shun Hinouchi.
“Yasuhisa is less naïve to his opponents while his blue eyes are glowing through his aura while Kazunari is being confident to his teammates for a great teamwork” said Asami Miyazaki.
“Yasuhisa is known as the Young Blue Dragon” said Miho.
“While Kazunari had been known as the Mind Dragon” said Erika Satō.
“They are so good when they’re on defense mode because they were able to see anything that is cautioning him” said Daisuke Ōhata.
“That’s right, Daisuke-san! It means that Kazunari had played smart with his Mind Observation to make sure that he’ll force his opponent to miss” said Rei.
“The more he makes the move to force his opponent to make a mistake, the better he’ll have more hustle to prove the ground easily” said Ai.
“I’m going to say that Kazunari and Yasuhisa are good in keeping their mind, body and soul to shine their way. It’s going to be awesome if they’ll clash with each other soon” said Kira.
“Well, I agree, but hopefully, it’s gonna happen soon” said Naoki Hatano.
“Right now, the boys of the Rainbow Angels are going to plan on tying the game or regaining their lead” said Misaki Nagaoka.
“Whatever will happen next, it will be an opportunity to make the Bravehearts proud with the boys of the Rainbow Angels getting their lead back” said Asami Miyazaki.
“Yeah!” said Rei, Ai, Kira, Naoki, Daisuke and Shun while Misaki Nagaoka, Erika Satō, Miho, Hanako Kotobuki, Mizuki and Kazuko nod their faces to agree with Akiko’s younger sister Asami.
Yukio looks at Shigemasa as he shouts at him. “Kaneko, you do that!” Yukio would go for his special move, the Red Lightning Pass.
“No, you won’t!” said Kazunari as he goes for the steal attempt.
“Crap! He tips it!” said Yukio.
However, Harunobu Fujinami doesn’t want to give up his team’s possession by shouting at Shigemasa. “Shigemasa-kun! Don’t lose our possession!”
“Okay!” said Shigemasa as he catches the ball while the shot clock is about to run out in 5 seconds.
“Don’t let him get away!” said Junichi Kamisaka.
“Okay, I got this!” said Dairoku as he joins Yoshitsugu to form the double team.
“You’ll not gonna stop me now, you morons!” said Shigemasa as he goes with the Thunderwind Accelerator, going for the post up move before doing the hook shot over Dairoku and Yoshitsugu.
“I’ll not let that shot happen, Shigemasa!” said Yoshitsugu as he jumps high to use the First Note Harmonizer to make sure the Shigemasa’s shot will not go in. The ball would bounce off from the rim and out, which makes Shigemasa upset.
“No! I’m not done yet!” said Shigemasa as he’s going for the offensive rebound, but before Shigemasa tries to grab the ball, the shot clock was timed up, buzzing in a long distance and Motojirō calls for the twenty-four second violation on Ryuuichi’s team.
“Twenty-four second violation. White uniform ball” said Motojirō.
“And our possession is now ours!” said Kazuhiro.
“Yeah, Kazuhiro. Our boys have been improved on defense since the new Complete Synchronization Skill was finally made. It sounds like we made a perfect special strategy to stop Ryuuichi and his team for real” said Jirō Koganei.
“You got it right, Jirō-kun!” said Kazuhiro.
“Yoshitsugu-kun. Your strength had been powered up” said Dairoku.
“That’s right, Dairoku. I don’t want to give up now, thanks to your help!” said Yoshitsugu.
“You’re welcome, Yoshitsugu!” said Dairoku.
“I’m feeling good just like how you guys played. Right, Subaru?” said Yoshitsugu.
“Yep. With our defense getting improved, now we’ll have our chance to either tie the game or regain the lead” said Subaru.
“You got it, Captain!” said Kazunari, Junichi Kamisaka, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
The members of the Azure Wind and the Temperate Celadon are delighted to see the defense of the Rainbow Angels getting better and better.
“Wow! That Yoshitsugu had his defense outmatched his opponent” said Sakiko Toshima.
“I believe that he’s going to be a rim protector for the Rainbow Angels after what he had performed well earlier” said Shintarō Nagamoto.
“Yeah, Shintarō. In their previous matches, their defense had been a threat to their opponents because they have the combination of defensive stops and shot contests” said Kentarō.
“But in this match, more hustle was given, thanks to their new Complete Synchronization Skill” said Takashi.
“It’s great that the Rainbow Angels have overcame their weakness in defense during their moments of coming back for a better difference” said Asumi.
“Junichi had been good in using his defense to stop Yūya through his Azure Dragon ability” said Hajime Shimizu.
“While Yoshitsugu and Kazunari have made improvements in protecting the rim” said Makoto Sugawara.
“I’m going to say that their defense was better than the Magome Elites’ because they worked hard to put the end of the rally of Ryuuichi and his former teammates from Shizuno” said Akane Mutō.
“By giving the Braveheart Formation more boost to grow their defensive tactics even better” said Meiko Toriumi.
“While the Rainbow Angels have done their work to strengthen their defense, they also got their improvement on their perimeter defense due to both Subaru and Kazunari’s eyes of their opponents through their defensive play” said Junichi Nakatani.
“The Braveheart Observer will make sure that Subaru’s opponents will not get their job done by getting his team’s defense on tight” said Aya Musumune.
“While the Mind Observer allows Kazunari to detect any move his opponents got to make sure that they’ll miss with a single mistake” said Shinji Sugawara.
“I’m sure that the Rainbow Angels will give more strength to show up to defeat the Magome Elites-Team Suga since they have their own heart to stand for” said Kanako Kikuchi.
“But also, letting Subaru get their rivalry against Ryuuichi pumped up before the Interhigh prefectural tournament” said Akitoshi Hyūgo.
“I agree, Akitoshi-san” said Asumi.
“If there’s anything they can go for a defensive stop, it’s going to be the big guys like Kauznari, Dairoku and Yoshitsugu” said Ayako Kasai.
“Because of their hustle, they can let their opponents’ shots miss at any cost as they get” said Yasue Hanagata.
“That’s true, girls. I believe that they’re going to go for the final stretch to make sure that they’ll walk away with the victory” said Kentarō.
“Once the match is over, Subaru and his boys will get their victory against Ryuuichi Suga and his former teammates from Shizuno” said Takashi.
“And Subaru will prove to Ryuuichi that he’ll be the best player in Ōta very soon” said Asumi.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Azure Wind and the Temperate Celadon.
Part 4 will be on the next post.
In the previous update, the boys of the Rainbow Angels have finally formed their brand new Complete Synchronization Skill, which will be used as a strong formidable strategy to defeat Ryuuichi Suga and the Magome Elites-Team Suga. Tonight’s update will be the final part of the match between the boys of the Rainbow Angels and the Magome Elites-Team Suga as this is going to be a real showdown between Subaru Hasegawa and Ryuuichi Suga. Which team will finally walk away with the win in this match? If you’re ready to see the most thrilling part of this match, let’s get into tonight’s update as here comes the final part of the match, which is also the second part of Chapter 146, with the title, “One Brave Match with an Angelic Moment! (Part 2)”! Enjoy reading the second part of Chapter 146!
Once the buzzer had been sounded, the timeout is finished and the match had been resumed with the boys of the Rainbow Angels are hopefully going to finish the match with an important win against the Magome Elites-Team Suga. The name of their Complete Synchronization Skill is the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy. It was the enhanced version of the Brave Rainbow Strategy, which was used to allow the players to increase their speed, pressure and strength when they’re battling against opponents in a game. This was Subaru’s strategy, which was usually made in the Nashiba High School boys’ basketball team. When the Brave Rainbow Strategy had been upgraded into the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy, they will finally perform their special moves as fast as they can, which they are now incorporating their four symbols of the Rainbow Angels: heart-minded, enthusiasm, cooperation and bravery. They finally have their chance to groove with their special moves through their colored auras. The boys of the Rainbow Angels would finally make their comeback, thanks to their new Complete Synchronization Skill, and they give Subaru more power to become stronger like his father and his friend Kazuhiro Hatakenaka. However, Ryuuichi didn’t give as he found his way to score it back with his fadeaway three-point shot version of the Thunderbird Projector to regain the lead with just 2. But fortunately, Subaru knows that it’s his time to finish the match with their final possession as he and his teammates made a perfect plan to finish the match with something that is an angelic moment. Subaru believes that he’s the Braveheart Sensation as he is very brave to be the best player in Ōta. Will Subaru and his boys have finally completed their vengeance against Ryuuichi and his former teammates? Or will Ryuuichi once again embarrassed Subaru to stop the comeback? This match would be thrilled to be and it’s very intense that this match may consider this the start of a new era in Ōta as the Era of Fuchsia and Celadon may probably be the beginning of a new glory for their young players to shine.
Previously on Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts...
The montage shows Subaru and his boys coming back from the bench to battle against Ryuuichi Suga and the Magome Elites-Team Suga. While Subaru and his boys have tried to get their momentum back in trying to pull off the rally against his rival and his team, Ryuuichi and his team are still dominating the game with only three minutes left. The buzzer was sounded when the timeout was called for the Rainbow Angels.
At the bench of the Rainbow Angels, Jirō and Kazuhiro are talking with the boys of the Rainbow Angels about their performance against Ryuuichi’s team.
“We’re almost out there to regain the lead, but Ryuuichi had refueled his energy to storm back to score. I can’t believe that this is getting complicated than I thought” said Jirō.
“Yeah, Jirō-kun. It’s been expected that we have been trailed by 15 earlier before we were able to catch up” said Subaru.
“We have done it in the second quarter, but now, there’s no time to run out for this moment to make a miracle” said Kazunari.
“Kauznari’s right, Jirō. I know that the match is expected to be a favor for us, but Ryuuichi had been leading his team without taking down the pointers to dominate” said Shinsuke Nagatomo.
“If there’s something we can turn this game up, we could score more in a better way” said Junichi Kamisaka.
“Yeah, I see the point right now, Junichi. Good thing that your teamwork level is almost reaching high, preparing yourselves to use your Complete Synchronization Skill” said Jirō.
“Really, Jirō-kun?” asked Subaru with a surprise expression on his face.
“Yeah, Subaru!” said Jirō.
“I never thought how we worked hard to take our teamwork level going up, but we still have more things to deal with before activating the Complete Synchronization Skill” said Subaru.
“Exactly true, Subaru-kun. I believe your friend Aoi when she was battling against the Sounds and Maples earlier. I have seen her like a good gal, grooving her way to score in the paint. I assumed that you need to turn the game up with your inspiration. Now that I realized that you’re almost reaching the point in going for another level, I think that it’s the good time for you to synchronize your team in a full scale” said Kazuhiro.
“Oh, now I understand what you’re saying, Hatakenaka-kun. It’s been a while that my boys have grooved well with our usual Brave Rainbow Strategy, but I’m not sure if we’re going for it” said Subaru.
“Uh… I don’t know if you’re going to keep on using the Brave Rainbow Strategy, but…” said Kazuhiro before he would be interrupted by Keiko and the girls.
Keiko talks to Kazuhiro with a different thought she’s giving an idea. “Maybe, if they can power up with their Complete Synchronization Skill, but to modify of their own.”
“Oh, yes, Keiko-san. I know that better idea what our boys need to do” said Kazuhiro.
Subaru was puzzled about this as he asks Kazuhiro something that might be intriguing. “What do you mean ‘better idea’, Hatakenaka-kun?”
“Keiko had an idea of using your Complete Synchronization Skill before you modify it with a different aura” said Kazuhiro.
“Different aura?” asked Subaru.
“Yeah, Subaru-san! I looked at Aoi and her team earlier when they used their Complete Synchronization Skill. Their auras are colorful in different colors, which is why you’re planning to power up your team groove with a different aura to come out” said Keiko.
“Then, how did you know about Aoi and her team’s Complete Synchronization Skill?” asked Kazunari.
“It’s simple. They have to work on their team chemistry to increase their teamwork level, which means that they should synchronize together as a team, so that they’ll power up their special moves” said Keiko.
“And then, when they’re powering up, they have different colors of their aura being come out. That will allow them to groove in a different level” said Mika.
“Oh, I see it now, girls. I finally understand what you’re saying” said Subaru.
“That’s why you need to charge yourself to use the Complete Synchronization Skill, so that you and your teammates will shine through” said Kazuhiro.
“Okay, I get it, Hatakenaka-kun!” said Subaru.
“But what the color of the aura would be, Subaru?” asked Jirō.
“Uh… I don’t know which color I’ll choose, but…” said Subaru.
“Look at our auras in our earlier match against the Sounds and Maples, Subaru!” said Tomoka.
“We used the color of fuchsia, blue, celadon and red orange” said Aoi.
“It is the symbol of determination, inspiration, harmony and courage” said Mimi.
“So, what color would you use for your team?” asked Jun.
Subaru would finally make an answer to the question the girls asked. “It will be crimson, fuchsia, sky blue and pastel green.”
“Well, you made an answer, Subaru. So, what those four colors symbolize?” said Keiko.
“Pastel green represents…” said Subaru, which leads to Junichi Morizawa answering it.
“Heart-minded, Subaru.” said Junichi Morizawa. “It means that we’re believing to inspire through our hearts.”
“Okay, I get it, Morizawa-kun” said Subaru. “Then, sky blue represents…”
Junichi Kamisaka completes the sentence. “Enthusiasm.”
“Oh, yes. Enthusiasm. I believe that we have enthusiasm to show our true power” said Subaru.
“That’s a nice answer, Junichi! I know that it’s going to be your time to shine very soon with the Complete Synchronization Skill” said Megumi.
“Well, thanks, Megumi!” said Junichi Kamisaka.
“Now, we have the color fuchsia. That color represents…” said Subaru before Dairoku answers it to complete the sentence.
“It will be cooperation” said Dairoku.
“Why cooperation, Dairoku?” asked Jun.
“It’s a symbol of friendship that puts our team harmonizing in inspiring everyone” said Dairoku.
“That sounds cool, Dairoku-chan! I like that symbolization!” said Jun.
“That would make your team more friendly to either opponents or allies inside and out” said Nozomi.
“Yeah, that’s true, Nozomi!” said Dairoku.
“Now, the only color remain would be crimson, Subaru” said Kazunari.
“So, what that would be?” asked Masanobu Uehara.
“Well, as a matter of fact, it is our bravery that stored in our mind, body and soul” said Subaru.
“Oh, yeah, Subaru! That’s what we thought in middle school” said Kazunari.
“Yeah, Kazunari! We used to shine our way back in Kirihara when we’re on a rally to make it to the final of the prefectural tournament. We were able to rally around to win games through our willpower” said Subaru.
“Yeah, I agree what you’re saying about bravery, Subaru! I believe that we can name the Complete Synchronization Skill for your team” said Kazuhiro.
“I believe so, Hatakenaka-kun. I think that I will name our team’s Complete Synchronization Skill as the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy” said Subaru.
“That fits that name to our personality of being brave and bold enough to win, Subaru!” said Yoshitsugu.
“Of course, Yoshitsugu-kun! It’s been a while that we were working together as one family of bravehearts and angels, but also, we want to be more blessed and inspired. Right, boys?” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said the boys of the Rainbow Angels while Tomoka and the girls smile to them. Jirō and Kazuhiro would smile as well.
“Well, it’s for your gratitude to be more blessed and inspired, Subaru” said Aoi.
“Since we believe that your team can have the hope to defeat Ryuuichi’s team, I think that it’s time for you and your team to activate your new Complete Synchronization Skill in the court” said Tomoka.
“If you think that you’re good enough to stop Ryuuichi and his team, then we’ll help you to work on that special skill” said Mimi.
“That would make our team better than ever, Mimi. I think that we should be all rise together, so that we’ll have our job done” said Junichi Morizawa.
“Yep” said Mimi.
“Subaru-chan, we’ll help Jirō and Kazuhiro to work on your new Complete Synchronization Skill to make sure that you’re all set to finish the game with the win” said Jun.
“Yes, it will, Jun-san! I’m feeling confident about that since we’re still getting developed in making our progress better. I’m sure that this time, it’s our chance to groove more like the way we did in our previous games” said Subaru.
“Then, expect to see your pride, courage and willpower for your team to win, Subaru-san!” said Tomoka.
“You got it!” said Subaru. He would shout to his friends with his motivation going up as soon as he’s ready to shine again. “Let’s work together to have our team’s new Complete Synchronization Skill for the last three minutes of the game!”
“Yeah!” said Jirō, Kazuhiro and the members of the Rainbow Angels as they’re going to work together in making the new Complete Synchronization Skill of the boys’ team of the Rainbow Angels, the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy.

CHAPTER 146: “ONE BRAVE MATCH WITH AN ANGELIC MOMENT (PART 2)”
Part 3
CHAPTER 146: “ONE BRAVE MATCH WITH AN ANGELIC MOMENT (PART 2)”
Part 3
While the timeout break is still ongoing, Aina Furukawa meets with the members of the Sounds and Maples as he’s going to seat with one of her friends in her neighborhood, Fumiko Tatsumi. Fumiko, a first year middle school student, is a member of the Sounds and Maples, coming from the Ōmori Dainana Middle School.
“Hey, everyone!” said Aina as she greets the members of the Sounds and Maples.
“Well, you’re finally here to watch the final three minutes of the game, Aina!” said Fumiko Tatsumi.
“You’re just in time to see the moment that Subaru and his team are going to activate their new Complete Synchronization Skill!” said Hikaru Maeyama.
“Ah, I see! Wait a minute, Hikaru-san. How did you know about that?” said Aina.
“You see, we talked to Tomoka and her friends in a conversation earlier about how the Complete Synchronization Skill worked for Subaru and his team” said Hikaru.
“Then, that little girl from Fukuoka said to us that with their opponents are Ryuuichi and his former teammates, Subaru and his team will activate another Complete Synchronization Skill, which is going to be different from the one she saw earlier” said Miyaka Katayama.
The flashback shows the members of the Sounds and Maples talking with Tomoka and her friends earlier.
“So, how Subaru and his team worked on their Complete Synchronization Skill?” asked Hikaru.
“That’s a good question, Hikaru-san. I know that you have seen them earlier in the semifinals, but this is all about speed and acceleration. The name of their Complete Synchronization Skill is the Brave Rainbow Strategy. The Brave Rainbow Strategy is an all-pressured strategy with all players are increasing their strength, pressure and speed while in the court” said Tomoka.
“When they’re activating their special strategy, they will increase their speed, pressure and strength while glowing their body with their crimson aura. This is Subaru’s own strategy to dominate the game, but if when it comes to his other teammates, they have that too” said Aoi.
“For Junichi Kamisaka, it is the Azure Camellia Strategy” said Mimi.
“While for Kazunari, it is the Shining Moon Action Play” said Jun.
“The Rainbow Angels have usually used these special strategies to energize themselves to win. It’s great to say that they have their combination of cooperation and willpower being worked out for them to groove” said Megumi.
“Right now, as they’re playing against Ryuuichi’s team, I believe that they’re going to change their course as they might be going to end up changing their strategy to defeat Ryuuichi and his team” said Keiko.
“You mean, they’re going for another plan to stop Ryuuichi and his former teammates in Shizuno?” asked Hikaru.
“Yeah, Hikaru-san! Since Subaru and Ryuuichi were rivals for a long time, they have their time to clash with their moves to show the stronger one is” said Keiko.
“That’s why Subaru and his team will be ready to have their own secret weapon to defeat Ryuuichi and his team” said Mika.
“Then, what that would be?” asked Miyaka Katayama.
“It’s some sort of making steadfast plays to shine while increasing their motivation to work together” said Mika.
“It’s more like the Blue Verdant Fukuoka when Kazuhiro and his boys worked their way to play smart” said Masayo.
“Ah, I think that it would be a big change for Subaru and his team to perform very well. I mean, they have been in a good shape when they’re having a rally to score points inside and out, but this time, with his rival is his target, he will use his tricks to show who the best player in our hometown is” said Hikaru.
“That’s right, Hikaru-san! If there’s anyone who can stop Ryuuichi and his team, it’s gotta be Subaru and his boys who have true determination and relentless courage to show their true meaning of formation” said Mariko.
“Without it, there will be no blessing in our hometown” said Michiko.
“Well, that’s true, Mariko-san. It seems that Ryuuichi had been the top player in Ōta since he defeated Subaru in the prefectural tournament final two years ago, but with a potential return of their rivalry has been fulfilled just only for this tournament, this will be a perfect time for Subaru to prove Ryuuichi that he’ll be the top player in Ōta very soon” said Hikaru.
“Yes, he will, Hikaru. There’s no way they can stop the Braveheart Sensation once he’s grooving his way to defeat them with his own willpower” said Aoi.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Hikaru while her groupmates from her group nod their faces as well. The flashback ends with Aina replying to Hikaru and her groupmates about a new Complete Synchronization Skill for Subaru and his team.
“Well, that sounds like Subaru and his boys are going to have their new strategy to stop Ryuuichi and his team” said Aina.
“You’re correct, Aina! That is why this would be their only hope to defeat Ryuuichi and his former teammates in Shizuno” said Hikaru.
“Once they’re going to activate their new Complete Synchronization Skill, they’ll finally be ready to take them out for good!” said Shinnosuke Nagashima.
“Yeah, I agree, Hikaru-san and Shinnosuke-kun! Hopefully, they’re walk away with the victory and become champions of the boys’ tournament of the Fuchsia and Celadon Dragons Tournament!” said Aina.
“You bet!” said Shinnosuke and Hikaru.
The boys and girls of the Rainbow Angels finish working on the new Complete Synchronization Skill for Subaru and his boys to groove more.
“It’s time to make this special strategy coming out with our willpower to win this game!” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said the boys of the Rainbow Angels.
With that, the boys of the Rainbow Angels would do their team chant, this time, the girls will be joining because they have helped them to create the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy. Jirō and Kazuhiro shouts first to lead the chant. “One…”
Tomoka, Mimi, Aoi, Keiko, Mika and Masayo follow the routine of the chant by continuing the chant. “Two…”
Subaru, Kazunari, Junichi Kamisaka and Junichi Morizawa would shout the next count with his pride, courage and willpower. “Three…”
The boys of the Rainbow Angels shout together in unison to energize themselves for their next possession. “Rise together, Rainbow Angels!”
Subaru, Kazunari, Junichi Kamisaka, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku would go back to the court as they’re ready to activate their new Complete Synchronization Skill, so that they’ll defeat Ryuuichi and his former teammates from Shizuno.
As their possession starts, Subaru and his boys have glowed their auras, powering up to use their special moves. Junichi Kamisaka passes the ball to Subaru before Subaru runs through the other side of the court. Subaru would be confronted by Ryuuichi.
“Your aura is looking good right now, Subaru. I never expect to see that for the moment, even you didn’t have that before” said Ryuuichi.
“Yep. This is my power-up move to make sure that I’m going to dazzle against you. Usually, this is my trick to make me dazzle. Now that I have my aura in my body, I’m going to make sure that you’ll see my secret weapon” said Subaru.
“What ‘secret weapon’ you’re talking about, Subaru?” asked Ryuuichi.
“You’ll see” said Subaru as he goes with the between the legs move on Ryuuichi. Ryuuichi steps back one bit while Subaru grooves his way with his own pattern. The pattern he used is the one that he used during their first match between each other.
“What that move is that, Ryuuichi?” asked Yūya.
“I don’t know what he’s doing here, Yūya. I have to make sure that he will not be able to drive past me” said Ryuuichi.
“Yeah, you got this, Ryuuichi! You did that before in our game against Kirihara two years ago” said Yukio.
“Then, I’m going to do this again!” said Ryuuichi.
“Okay, then” said Yukio.
“You can do it, Ryuuichi!” said Yūya.
“Alright!” said Ryuuichi as he is going for his special move, the Behemoth Surge, trying to be more positive in his strength.
Kazunari shouts at Subaru while seeing Ryuuichi’s aura glowing up. “Watch out, Subaru! He’s using that Behemoth Surge!”
Ryuuichi is charging his way to make sure that he will block Subaru’s patterns with his own pattern. Then, Ryuuichi shouts at Subaru like a behemoth. “Now, it’s time for you to be down, Subaru!”
From the bench, the Bravehearts (both Tokyo and Fukuoka) and the Rainbow Angels are worrying about Subaru while Kazuhiro and Jirō are shout at their lungs.
“Watch out, Subaru!” said Kazuhiro.
“He’s coming at you!” said Jirō.
Subaru replies to Ryuuichi while his aura is glowing through his willpower. “No, you won’t, Ryuuichi-kun. You’ll never gonna make it.” As Ryuuichi is about to use his trick to steal the ball away from Subaru, Subaru finally makes his way by using the Miracle Redgate to make a dash in driving past Ryuuichi.
“Oh, my goodness!” said Murayama.
“Isn’t that the Redgate Ignition?” asked Katase.
“Yes, it was, Katase-san, but on a different level” said Aina.
“Oh, I see. But what that move is?” said Katase.
“It’s called the Miracle Redgate. It’s the enhanced move of the Redgate Ignition” said Shinnosuke.
“It’s the move that Subaru cannot lose his willpower because he’s the Braveheart Sensation. He can shine his way to keep his cool just like his father did” said Hikaru.
“Wow! That sounds awesome, Shinnosuke and Hikaru! I never expect to see that move that is stronger than anyone else’s dribbling moves” said Katase.
“That move would make him dazzle too good to get away from his opponents in a single rush” said Murayama.
“Yep. This move will make him stronger with his speed and acceleration being increased and he can go for special moves simultaneously” said Aina.
“Yeah, we agree, Aina-san!” said Murayama and Katase.
With Ryuuichi being driven out by his special move, Subaru would jump high to shoot the ball with the Phantom Floater and with his crimson aura coming out, the ball drives to the basket simultaneously. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 96, Rainbow Angels 89]
“Nice shot, Subaru!” said Tomoka.
“You’re doing awesome with that move!” said Aoi.
“What a great move!” said Keiko.
“I’m so happy that you have finally showed your true formation!” said Masayo.
“I’m so proud of you, Subaru-chan! You’re the Braveheart Sensation who can dash your way to groove!” said Jun.
“Thanks, everyone! It feels like my strength had been increased the way I performed” said Subaru.
“Yeah, that’s right, Subaru! Since you’re on fire now, your team now activates the new Complete Synchronization Skill” said Jirō.
“It means you and your teammates now have your auras coming out for the rest of the game” said Kazuhiro.
“Wow! That’s awesome, Hatakenaka-kun! I’m very confident that my team will win this game for sure! Right, boys?” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said Junichi Kamisaka, Kazunari, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
“But wait, Subaru, there’s more!” said Keiko.
“More?” surprised Subaru.
“What’s ‘more’?” asked Kazunari.
“You can copy any special move from your anyone while the new Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy was active in their play” said Mika.
“Whether you can copy from us or from your opponents, it’s up to you to use it” said Keiko.
“Okay, I understand, girls! I’m sure that this will turn our fortune to be true” said Subaru.
“Yeah, I agree, Subaru!” said Keiko and Mika.
“I did that when my team had played against Suzuridani and it makes me motivated to use any move from my friends on my side. Isn’t that cool that you can do that, Subaru-chan?” said Mimi.
“Yes, of course, Mimi! I will do it to make sure that my team will shine our way to victory!” said Subaru.
“I’m sure that you’ll be motivated to use any move you desire, especially you did that earlier in the second quarter” said Mimi.
“Okay, Mimi! I feel you to be motivated!” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said Mimi.
“Now, let’s make our moment to win this game!” said Subaru.
“Yeah!” said Junichi Kamisaka, Kazunari, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
“Good luck, Subaru and the team! Just make us proud!” said Tomoka.
“We’ll be cheering for you!” said Aoi, Maho, Saki, Airi, Hinata, Kagetsu, Mimi, Tsubaki, Hiiragi, Masami, Miyu, Aya, Rena and the other members of the Rainbow Angels.
“Wow! That’s a lot of determined you can do that for us, everyone! Thank you very much! I’m feeling enthusiastic tonight because I can’t finally wait to win this!” said Subaru.
“Now, win this match for us!” said Kazuhiro.
“Just like what Tomoka said earlier, make us proud, Subaru!” said Jirō.
“Okay, we will, Jirō-sensei!” said Subaru, Junichi Kamisaka, Kazunari, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
The match continues with the boys of the Rainbow Angels are now switching their focus from offense to defense. Now that the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy being played, Subaru and his boys are ready to make their moment to win their game against Ryuuichi and his team. The background song for the final 3 minutes of the match is 「Get goal! 」 by RO-KYU-BU! This song is also the opening theme song of Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS.
Ryuuichi runs thorough the other side of the court before he would be confronted by Subaru. “You’re too good, Subaru. I know that you’re going insane with that move, but that was remarkable.”
“Thanks, Ryuuichi-kun. I never expect how I did because thanks to my willpower, my team finally have the Complete Synchronization Skill in our play’ said Subaru.
“Ah, good for you” said Ryuuichi, but he’s returning to serious mode. “But now that we have both auras, it’s time to see who can survive this clash.”
“You bet, Ryuuichi-kun! I never expect to see both of us with auras coming in unlike before. I hope that you’ll be ready to see the difference between our auras while I’m going to get easy on you!” said Subaru.
“That would be my pleasure, Subaru” said Ryuuichi before he’s charging up with his yellow aura like an electric shock. “Now, let’s duel!”
“Sure thing!” said Subaru. The clash between auras would begin with Ryuuichi and Subaru use their pivots to have their patterns to shine. Ryuuichi performs the crossover move on Subaru while Subaru uses his defensive play with his Braveheart Shield.
“Wow! Look at Subaru’s aura, Maho!” said Saki while pointing at Subaru’s crimson aura. “He’s finally using his own defense with his aura.”
“That’s beautiful, Saki! I never see that before when Subaru is playing on a different level, but I would say that he is finally ready to go on fire” said Maho.
“Being on fire would be his finest way to show his true formation whenever he’s playing on either offense or defense” said Miho Kumada.
“Subaru is resembled to Kazuhiro because of the former’s relentless strength can create shockwaves to groove” said Hisako Uehara.
“But on the bright side, he can shine his way without losing his willpower” said Yasuhisa Yoshida.
“I agree, Yasuhisa! When Subaru is on fire, he can take over the court by dashing his way to perform his tricks” said Saki.
“Tricks can be crazier than special moves” said Maho.
“That is if he’s an ace for a stronger team like Nashiba” said Yasuhisa.
“It’s going to be more fun to have Subaru playing as a sharpshooter or a playmaker because he can get his job done” said Miho.
“Like the other aces we saw in the tournament, Subaru have been performing the most because he can dazzle his way to the top” said Hisako.
“Yeah!” said Maho, Saki, Miho and Yasuhisa.
Ryuuichi and Subaru clash with each other in the court where Ryuuichi tries to get away from Subaru with his Behemoth Surge. They make it to the paint and then, Ryuuichi steps back before doing the spin move to drive past Subaru with his Thunderstruck Incinerator.
“Haha! There’s nothing you can stop me, Subaru! I’m going to…” said Ryuuichi as he’s about to shoot the ball with the Shocking Floater, but Yoshitsugu would block that shot with the First Note Blocker. “What the?! Are you kidding me?!”
“Bet that you didn’t know what’s going on, Ryuuichi! Too bad that you will not gonna make it, you know!” said Yoshitsugu.
“Alright! What a block by Yoshitsugu!” said Yurika Nakaido.
“’Not on my wrath!’ says Yoshitsugu. That nasty block had been stronger than before, thanks to the effects of the Rainbow Wing Steadfast Strategy” said Masahiko.
“His strength had been improved since he played on the four” said Tadaoki.
“Yep. He played as a small forward and a power forward” said Naruhita Tatsuta.
“When it comes to his size, he can literally catch more stamina to strengthen his hustle while doing his defensive play” said Mituski Nakata.
“I believe that Yoshitsugu have shown his true formation by using his hustle to block Ryuuichi’s shot right on time” said Sayako Ōno.
“That will make Ryuuichi upset because of this” said Sakura.
“Yeah, Sakura! There’s nothing Ryuuichi can do with that once he’s missing the shots fairly” said Kyō.
“Yeah!” said Yurika, Masahiko, Tadaoki, Naruhita, Mitsuki and Sayako.
Junichi Kamisaka grabs the ball with the rebound while his azure aura coming out. He later shouts at Dairoku before passing the ball to him with the Azure Sword Pass. “Dairoku-kun, catch!”
Dairoku was able to catch the ball easily. “Got it!”
“Wow! Dairoku grabs the ball easily!” said Yurika Hashida.
“That’s how big guys like him going for the hustle!” said Katsuya.
“You got that right, Katsuya-san! Anyone knows that Dairoku will be here to show his willpower through his heart” said Sawako Ishihara.
“Just like the other boys in his team, he’s always going for the pressure to take his opponents out with his strength” said Yoko Shimizu.
“That’s right, Yoko! Dairoku should be in a good shape to use any strengthening move to go for the broke” said Katsuya.
“I’m sure that their performance had been improving since they have their new Complete Synchronization Skill, but hopefully, they’ll finally have the moment to win” said Yūki Sasaki.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Yurika Hashida and Yoko Shimizu while Katsuya and Sawako nod their faces to agree.
Dairoku would run with the Fuchsia Oak Rush and then, performing the Dubious Wavechanger to get away from Haruki. The Dubious Wavechanger is a special move made by Kenta Saeki.
“You’re down, boy!” said Darioku while increasing his strength with his fuchsia aura. Dairoku passes the ball to Kazunari with the Shiny Oak Pass. “Here’s the pass to you!”
“Good pass, Dairoku! You rock!” said Kazunari while smirking on his face. Kazunari steps back with the fake, going away from Yukio before shooting the ball with the Quickwater Velocity Three-Point Projection, a special move made by Yasuhisa Yoshida. “Take this, Yukio!” The ball would drive into the basket quickly like a sonic boom. This would trim the lead of Ryuuichi’s team to just 4. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 96, Rainbow Angels 92]
“Would you look at that, girls? Kazunari had been using a different move!” said Airi.
“Oh! Kazunari-chan had been on fire as well, Airi-chan! His three-point shots can’t miss!” said Hinata.
“When he is on the corner or in the deep, he can bank three-point shots with his acceleration” said Sana Kushibiki.
“True, Sana-san! Anyone who is good in making threes must have his acceleration going up when he’s going to for the three” said Miwako Tanaka.
“So far, Kazunari had been performing three-point shots the most while Junichi and Subaru have shot a few” said Aya.
“Yeah, that’s true, Aya! Their comeback had been stronger than the last time, but with the Complete Synchronization Skill on, they’re going for the momentum” said Airi.
“Sounds like they’re almost there to tie the game, girls. I’m going to say that they’re going to get more good teamwork plays before Ryuuichi and his team try to respond it back” said Rena.
“We can’t let the Rainbow Angels lose, girls! They’ll be here to be blessed and inspired!” said Kurumi.
“Ah, I totally agree, Kurumi-chan! There’s no way they’ll break their hearts apart if they lose against Ryuuichi” said Hinata.
“The more they perform with their dazzling moves, the better they have the rally to go on” said Sana.
“Yeah!” said Airi, Hinata, Aya, Rena, Kurumi and Miwako.
The next possession would be a clash between Junichi and Yūya as Yūya tries to drive past Junichi with his Sonicbreeze Dazzler, but Junichi can’t give up because he’s not gonna let his team down.
“Come on, Junichi! You can do it!” said Yoshitsugu Nakagawa.
“Lock him down with your defense before you do the right move!” said Ran Mikazuki.
“Take him out with your aura!” said Risa Nagasaki.
“Don’t let him shoot!” said Mito.
“The aura is on to you, Junichi! You got this to shine it out!” said Kotoe.
“You got this, Junichi! We believe in you!” said Kōichi.
“Yeah, we want to see you shine!” said Tadamoto Inoue.
“The more you stop him, the better you take him out with your aura!” said Atsuko Maeyama.
Junichi keeps his defense in guard to make sure that Yūya won’t drive past him. Yūya steps back before doing the crossover escape move on Junichi, getting away from him, but Junichi steals the ball with his Azure Dragon’s Eye move.
“What?! You gotta be kidding me!” exclaimed Yūya.
“Sorry, but you can’t stop me with my own power!” said Junichi as he grabs the ball for the steal. Junichi dashes his way to the paint before shooting the ball with the Azure Eyecatch Shot. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 96, Rainbow Angels 94]
“Nice shot, Junichi!” said Megumi.
“You’re shining your way to shoot!” said Kazue Ōgaki.
“The steal and the dunk have never paid off for Junichi to get him stronger!” said Naoko Andō.
“I’m so glad that you have shown your own aura to groove!” said Anzu.
“Yeah, Anzu! That dunk was so cool that he had been using that in his game against Musashi” said Kazue Futagawa.
“That’s right, Kazue-san! Junichi had been on fire in the entire tournament before helping Subaru in this match. Junichi and Subaru have been buddies since they were on the same team” said Anzu.
“Being on the same team means teamwork, Anzu!” said Natsuko Sakura.
“Yeah, I agree, Natsuko!” said Anzu.
“Junichi is always coming out to show his eyes to glow with his strength” said Kazue Futagawa.
“There’s nothing they can stop Junichi now!” said Shōzō.
“Yeah!” said Megumi, Kazue Ōgaki, Naoko, Anzu, Kazue Futagawa and Natsuko Sakura.
Later, Ryuuichi didn’t want to end this match as he decides to go on a different circuit by doing the Behemoth Surge to make him stronger. “I don’t want to have their comeback to fulfill. I just want to win this game to make sure that I’m still the best player in Ōta!” Strengthening his special move, he performs the crossover move on Subaru before doing the Shocking Frame Fake on Subaru as he gets away from him.
“Oh, my goodness!” said Atsuko Hatano.
“Ryuuichi hadn’t give up yet!” said Yuichi Uchida.
“That guy had still his aura coming out!” said Mao Kayano.
Grinning on his face, Ryuuichi passes the ball to Yūya with the Thunderbird Pass before shouing at him. “Shoot, boy!”
“Okay!” said Yūya as he is shooting the ball with the Soundbolt Projection and the ball drives to the basket. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 99, Rainbow Angels 94]
“Wow! That three-point shot was so good!” said Jirō Matsuoka.
“That guy’s shot had been compared to Junichi’s, Jirō” said Yūichiro Kuritsu.
“Yep. Their level had been matched ever since both teams have their auras activated” said Jirō Matsuoka.
“But also, Yūya had been a successful three-point shooter, compared to the other guys in Shizuno” said Junichi Nonaka.
“I agree, Junichi. He’s currently playing in Tsubasa High School, being the sixth man for that school’s varsity team” said Ichirō Satō.
“If he wants to shoot with his shining path, he has to work on his acceleration to do that shot” said Yūichiro Kurisu.
“Yep. This is going to be dangerous for the Rainbow Angels as we have 1:45 left in the game” said Jirō Matsuoka.
“Hopefully, their comeback would be completed to walk away with the win” said Ichirō Satō.
“Yeah!” said Jirō Matsuoka.
Junichi passes the ball to Subaru with the Azure Sword Pass before Subaru meeting with Ryuuichi once again. Both Subaru and Ryuuichi are on their aura mode, meaning anything can drain their stamina through the Microwave ability.
“You surprised me with that fake, but let’s see if I prove myself like this!” said Subaru as makes his way to level up his Miracle Redgate through the Braveheart Boost. Subaru performs the between the legs move on Ryuuichi before switching it to the ankle breaker. Ryuuichi would lose his balance, almost getting stumbled before Subaru steps back to shoot the ball with the Phantom Three-Point Shot.
“You’re too far, Ryuuichi-kun!” said Subaru before the ball drives to the basket like a comet. [Magome Elites-Team Suga 99, Rainbow Angels 97]
“Nice combination of moves and nice shot, Subaru!” said Kazunari as he gives Subaru a high five.
“Yeah! I’m feeling god now, Kazunari-kun! It’s getting better and better to make a comeback!” said Subaru.
“You’re right, boy!” said Kazunari.
“Yes! Subaru makes the combination of his own, using his Braveheart Boost to simulate his moves easily” said Seijirō.
“That ankle breaker is nothing Ryuuichi can do now after he lost his balance” said Chihiro Himejima.
“Yep! I’m going to say that Subaru had been working hard to be the best player in Ōta, but he had to battle the guy who have rivalled him for almost of his basketball career” said Seiichirō.
“Yeah, Seiichirō-san! This match may be epic than their previous one two years ago” said Misaki Natukawa.
“But hopefully, when they’re in uniforms once again for the clash…” said Nagisa Togashi.
“…it’s going to be Subaru’s time to prove the ground better” said Hajime Okuno.
“You got that right, girls! It’s going to happen right now!” said Seijirō.
Ryuuichi passes the ball to Yukio before Yukio battles against Kazunari. Kazunari uses the Mind Observation to make that Yukio will miss his shot at any cost. Yukio performs the behind the back move on Kazunari, but Kazunari guards him tightly.
“Yeah, you can do it, Uehara-kun!” said Asuna Hayashida.
“Give that opponent a lesson in using that strength!” said Kenshō Aoyagi.
“Go, get them, brother!” said Kazuya.
“Take that guy out!” said Ryōta Nakamura.
“You got it!” said Kazunari with a smile on his face after seeing his friends from the Innocent Charm and the Orange and Fuchsia.
Kazunari and Yukio clash with each other in the paint before Yukio goes with the Red Brave Energizing Fake on Kazunari, but Kazunari keeps his defense at bay.
“Not so fast, Yukio! You’re not gonna go a fake on me!” said Kazunari.
“Wow! Look at his defense!” said Ai.
“He’s stopping Yukio with his special move!” said Kira.
“That Bluewall Barrier from Yasuhisa made Kazunari so good with his defense right now” said Hanako Kotobuki.
“Yasuhisa had been a good sharpshooter when it comes to playing smart in the court” said Mizuki.
“Yasuhisa shared his aura with Kazunari when you compared to each other” said Kazuko.
“But also, they have their same title of Dragons with their personalities they have” said Shun Hinouchi.
“Yasuhisa is less naïve to his opponents while his blue eyes are glowing through his aura while Kazunari is being confident to his teammates for a great teamwork” said Asami Miyazaki.
“Yasuhisa is known as the Young Blue Dragon” said Miho.
“While Kazunari had been known as the Mind Dragon” said Erika Satō.
“They are so good when they’re on defense mode because they were able to see anything that is cautioning him” said Daisuke Ōhata.
“That’s right, Daisuke-san! It means that Kazunari had played smart with his Mind Observation to make sure that he’ll force his opponent to miss” said Rei.
“The more he makes the move to force his opponent to make a mistake, the better he’ll have more hustle to prove the ground easily” said Ai.
“I’m going to say that Kazunari and Yasuhisa are good in keeping their mind, body and soul to shine their way. It’s going to be awesome if they’ll clash with each other soon” said Kira.
“Well, I agree, but hopefully, it’s gonna happen soon” said Naoki Hatano.
“Right now, the boys of the Rainbow Angels are going to plan on tying the game or regaining their lead” said Misaki Nagaoka.
“Whatever will happen next, it will be an opportunity to make the Bravehearts proud with the boys of the Rainbow Angels getting their lead back” said Asami Miyazaki.
“Yeah!” said Rei, Ai, Kira, Naoki, Daisuke and Shun while Misaki Nagaoka, Erika Satō, Miho, Hanako Kotobuki, Mizuki and Kazuko nod their faces to agree with Akiko’s younger sister Asami.
Yukio looks at Shigemasa as he shouts at him. “Kaneko, you do that!” Yukio would go for his special move, the Red Lightning Pass.
“No, you won’t!” said Kazunari as he goes for the steal attempt.
“Crap! He tips it!” said Yukio.
However, Harunobu Fujinami doesn’t want to give up his team’s possession by shouting at Shigemasa. “Shigemasa-kun! Don’t lose our possession!”
“Okay!” said Shigemasa as he catches the ball while the shot clock is about to run out in 5 seconds.
“Don’t let him get away!” said Junichi Kamisaka.
“Okay, I got this!” said Dairoku as he joins Yoshitsugu to form the double team.
“You’ll not gonna stop me now, you morons!” said Shigemasa as he goes with the Thunderwind Accelerator, going for the post up move before doing the hook shot over Dairoku and Yoshitsugu.
“I’ll not let that shot happen, Shigemasa!” said Yoshitsugu as he jumps high to use the First Note Harmonizer to make sure the Shigemasa’s shot will not go in. The ball would bounce off from the rim and out, which makes Shigemasa upset.
“No! I’m not done yet!” said Shigemasa as he’s going for the offensive rebound, but before Shigemasa tries to grab the ball, the shot clock was timed up, buzzing in a long distance and Motojirō calls for the twenty-four second violation on Ryuuichi’s team.
“Twenty-four second violation. White uniform ball” said Motojirō.
“And our possession is now ours!” said Kazuhiro.
“Yeah, Kazuhiro. Our boys have been improved on defense since the new Complete Synchronization Skill was finally made. It sounds like we made a perfect special strategy to stop Ryuuichi and his team for real” said Jirō Koganei.
“You got it right, Jirō-kun!” said Kazuhiro.
“Yoshitsugu-kun. Your strength had been powered up” said Dairoku.
“That’s right, Dairoku. I don’t want to give up now, thanks to your help!” said Yoshitsugu.
“You’re welcome, Yoshitsugu!” said Dairoku.
“I’m feeling good just like how you guys played. Right, Subaru?” said Yoshitsugu.
“Yep. With our defense getting improved, now we’ll have our chance to either tie the game or regain the lead” said Subaru.
“You got it, Captain!” said Kazunari, Junichi Kamisaka, Yoshitsugu and Dairoku.
The members of the Azure Wind and the Temperate Celadon are delighted to see the defense of the Rainbow Angels getting better and better.
“Wow! That Yoshitsugu had his defense outmatched his opponent” said Sakiko Toshima.
“I believe that he’s going to be a rim protector for the Rainbow Angels after what he had performed well earlier” said Shintarō Nagamoto.
“Yeah, Shintarō. In their previous matches, their defense had been a threat to their opponents because they have the combination of defensive stops and shot contests” said Kentarō.
“But in this match, more hustle was given, thanks to their new Complete Synchronization Skill” said Takashi.
“It’s great that the Rainbow Angels have overcame their weakness in defense during their moments of coming back for a better difference” said Asumi.
“Junichi had been good in using his defense to stop Yūya through his Azure Dragon ability” said Hajime Shimizu.
“While Yoshitsugu and Kazunari have made improvements in protecting the rim” said Makoto Sugawara.
“I’m going to say that their defense was better than the Magome Elites’ because they worked hard to put the end of the rally of Ryuuichi and his former teammates from Shizuno” said Akane Mutō.
“By giving the Braveheart Formation more boost to grow their defensive tactics even better” said Meiko Toriumi.
“While the Rainbow Angels have done their work to strengthen their defense, they also got their improvement on their perimeter defense due to both Subaru and Kazunari’s eyes of their opponents through their defensive play” said Junichi Nakatani.
“The Braveheart Observer will make sure that Subaru’s opponents will not get their job done by getting his team’s defense on tight” said Aya Musumune.
“While the Mind Observer allows Kazunari to detect any move his opponents got to make sure that they’ll miss with a single mistake” said Shinji Sugawara.
“I’m sure that the Rainbow Angels will give more strength to show up to defeat the Magome Elites-Team Suga since they have their own heart to stand for” said Kanako Kikuchi.
“But also, letting Subaru get their rivalry against Ryuuichi pumped up before the Interhigh prefectural tournament” said Akitoshi Hyūgo.
“I agree, Akitoshi-san” said Asumi.
“If there’s anything they can go for a defensive stop, it’s going to be the big guys like Kauznari, Dairoku and Yoshitsugu” said Ayako Kasai.
“Because of their hustle, they can let their opponents’ shots miss at any cost as they get” said Yasue Hanagata.
“That’s true, girls. I believe that they’re going to go for the final stretch to make sure that they’ll walk away with the victory” said Kentarō.
“Once the match is over, Subaru and his boys will get their victory against Ryuuichi Suga and his former teammates from Shizuno” said Takashi.
“And Subaru will prove to Ryuuichi that he’ll be the best player in Ōta very soon” said Asumi.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the members of the Azure Wind and the Temperate Celadon.
Part 4 will be on the next post.
