⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
In the closing moments, the sound of the gymnasium vanishes. Shohoku claws back to a tie through sheer will, and Sakuragi becomes the star of the final play. From Miyagi's feed, the ball flows to none other than Rukawa, who trusts it to Sakuragi. His jump shot rattles the net, and with the buzzer, Shohoku pulls off a stunning upset — toppling champion Sanno Kogyo. After the game, the once-bitter rivals Rukawa and Sakuragi press their sweat-soaked palms together in silence, a scene that strikes readers to the core. Yet behind the joy, Sakuragi's back injury has grown grave. A peak of the series, etched with both glory and its price.
