Chapter 625 Sakuragi! Rukawa! High fives!
This episode of "Slam Dunk" ended with a close-up of Sakuragi Hanamichi that sounded like a confession.

"Ah————" some fans screamed, "Why does this episode end here?"

The owner of the comic book store didn't take it seriously at all, after all, he was used to it.

Recently, every week on the release day of "Champion", comic fans would scream like this.

But there were also many fans who slowly closed "Champion" and stared blankly for a while.

They seemed to have some realization in their hearts.

In the last scene, Akagi Haruko is not so pretty anymore.

This is Sakuragi Hanamichi's...perspective.

In the match against Sannoh, in a nearly desperate situation, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt the pain in his back, but for the first time he was aware of his emotions very clearly.

I Love The Game!

On the Internet, all major comics forums seemed to be in a state of excitement.

Discussions about the latest chapter of "Slam Dunk" filled almost every corner of the forum.

"Will Sakuragi Hanamichi continue to fight?"

"Shohoku will win, right? I don't want to see them get eliminated!"

"Are we going to fight again next year? This is the taste of the Koshien Shovelhead taking home as a souvenir!"

Part of it is about the anticipation for updates, and more of it is about expressing feelings.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi discovered that what he loves is basketball!"

"Yes, Sakuragi Hanamichi likes basketball! He loves basketball the most!"

"Women can't smell as good as basketball! Hanamichi finally got the truth!"

"Haruko also lost her aura in his eyes. Did you notice the last scene? Haruko is not that pretty in Mr. Oda's painting!"

"Yes, I noticed this detail too! Is Mr. Oda not a good painter? Don't be ridiculous. The beauties drawn by Mr. Oda are so attractive that people can masturbate from Spain to Siberia!"

"Oda Shingo's comics are so amazing, I feel like my heart is blown away!"

On the one hand, fans are impressed by the vividness of "Slam Dunk", and on the other hand, more fans are clamoring for Oda Shingo to update, and some fans even spend money to give a lot of likes on the official website to urge updates.

Even at a basketball game in Fukuoka, some teams shouted out some classic lines from Slam Dunk on the court.

"We are strong--!"

"I like it! I like it very much!"

Even the basketball cheerleaders used Slam Dunk character paintings to cheer for their team.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the next development of the comics, suddenly an internal leak was released.

"Based on the number of issues covered by the advertisement, the next issue of Slam Dunk will be the final episode, or at least the end of the first part!"

The whistleblower is a well-known ID in the industry, and has previously exposed comic plots many times. According to unreliable sources, he has a background in printing, and some say he is responsible for reviewing magazine content under the Ministry of Culture.

The comic fans were immediately excited when they heard it.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Slam Dunk is so popular, who could possibly finish it?! How could you not make money?"

"If it's the end of the first part, then it's not surprising. Well, then it's not surprising, it must be the story of Xiangbei losing the game against Sannoh, Sakuragi Hanamichi recovering from his injury, and then the second part will make a comeback!"

"That makes sense! There must be a second part coming soon!"

During this week, Oda Shingo and Fujido Kaoru worked hard on the painting fusion of "The Visible Girl", while fans were discussing and speculating about the plot of "Slam Dunk".

There are even many comic fans discussing which team the next plot will be against, and no one thinks that "Slam Dunk" will really end abruptly.

After all, it’s about making money. Who would be willing to end such a popular comic?

The next plot is definitely that the Xiangbei team wins and continues to play, or the Xiangbei team loses, Sakuragi Hanamichi recovers from his injury, concentrates on training and continues his basketball career. Yes, there is no other possibility.

Even though he is a big devil, he is still a cartoonist and he has to make money. The publisher will not allow him to let a popular work end casually.

A new week has arrived and "Champion" is published.

Comic fans have already packed into all the major comic shops.

The comic book shop owner was used to it and opened the shop to sell books in an orderly manner. The surrounding police stations also made preparations and maintained order on the scene without any panic.

"Nani?!"

"Mashaka?!"

"This is impossible! It must be an illusion-!"

When the cover of the latest issue of "Champion" appeared in the bookstore, the big words "Slam Dunk Final Chapter" shocked everyone present.

The crowd of comic fans waiting in line was in an uproar, no one could believe it.

I didn’t expect the news to be true! Is Oda Shingo really going to finish “Slam Dunk”?
The fans were even more crazy about reading Champion on the spot, and the queues were in chaos. The community police who were maintaining order outside the store had to enter the store and start to drive away the fans who were standing there reading comics.

However, Japanese community police have always had a soft attitude, so it is understandable that the slow pace will not be improved much.

Some anxious fans shouted anxiously in the distance: "What are you standing there looking at? Get out of here!"

"Ah - too much fun!" However, the fans who had already read the content and were blocking traffic were driven out of the store and sighed sincerely, "Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, they are really a perfect couple!"

Those in the queue who didn't know the details could only stare at him with envy and jealousy.

It's so itchy!

Soon, more and more comic fans saw the plot where Sakuragi Hanamichi insisted on playing basketball despite his back injury.

"Coach Anzai, when was your most glorious moment?" asked Sakuragi Hanamichi, whose face was twisted with pain.

"..."

"And as for me...it's now!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were extremely determined.

When Sanno's No. 15 iron tower player was about to shoot, Sakuragi Hanamichi actually jumped high...

"Iron Man Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

Block the ball hard!
But soon, the injured Sakuragi Hanamichi made a painful mistake and the ball was taken away.

When Sannoh's No. 9 Zebei Rongzhi took the opportunity to dunk and was about to score two points, Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly jumped high and dunked his attack!
"Give me the ball back!"

In the final moments, the score was deadlocked!

There are no more dialog boxes on the comics page!
Everything is revealed through action!

Sakuragi Hanamichi risked falling on his back once more, but he still tenaciously saved the basketball that was about to go out of bounds and passed it to Rukawa!
Goal! Xiangbei overtakes by 1 point!
But Sannoh's No. 9 Zebei Rongzhi scored another goal with his genius performance!
Another 1 point pressure on Xiangbei!
Only 9 seconds left!
When everyone in Xiangbei was stunned, Sakuragi was the first to rush to the serving line!
Every second requires everyone to try their best!
In the last two seconds, Rukawa jumped high with the ball, but in front of him was Sanwang's iron wall of resistance.

In an instant, Rukawa saw Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Just hold it gently with your left hand..."

Rukawa Kaede focused his eyes and passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi, the newcomer whom he always despised!

In the last second, Sakuragi Hanamichi stood up and made a jump shot in a very standard manner.

He didn't use the most anticipated slam dunk method, but the most unpretentious jump shot that had been practiced 20,000 times.

The basketball goes into the basket!

Shohoku 79:78 Sannoh, the game is over!
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede looked at each other and walked closer to each other.

Snapped--!
The two guys, who had always been in serious conflict, high-fived each other!
