Ep. 15: The Head Coach Collapses and Akashi's Dual Nature Emerges
Aired on April 19, 2015
After the head coach collapses, the assistant coach takes over Teiko, leading to rapid player growth. Aomine receives permission to skip practice as long as he attends games, deepening his despair over the lack of strong opponents. Murasakibara demands similar privileges, defying Akashi, who challenges him to a one-on-one match. Although Murasakibara initially overwhelms Akashi, the latter switches personalities to defeat him. This alternate persona then grants the rest of the Generation of Miracles permission to skip practice if they win matches. Akashi later reveals to Kuroko, who failed to persuade Aomine to return, that he possesses two distinct personalities.
