Ep. 13: Kagetora doubts Kuroko's potential while Kagami arrives late and meets Akashi.
Kagetora asserts that Seirin second-years can enhance their skills within a month, yet he admits uncertainty regarding Kuroko’s training and suggests he may encounter a significant obstacle. Meanwhile, Kagami misses the Winter Cup opening because he overlooked the time difference between California and Japan. Kuroko is summoned by Akashi Seijuro, the Generation of Miracles captain. Kagami interrupts their gathering and encounters Akashi for the first time. The interaction turns dangerous when Akashi takes scissors from Midorima and nearly stabs Kagami in the cheek. The match between Seirin and Touou begins with fierce competition for the initial score. The outcome hinges on whether Kuroko’s enhanced Ignite Pass can dictate the rhythm of this highly anticipated rematch.
