Tsugawa is a just bad behaving kitten
A BAD BEHAVING KITTEN
At this point Seirin is struggling to keep pace with Seiho, they are still far behind, an Shutoku send their best player on the bench, it's really looking bad for Seirin.
Originally Seirin's defeat was supposed to be against Shutoku not Touou, but Fujimaki-sensei's editor convinced him to change it.
At this point, the story was clearly developing toward "Seirin, exhausted, can't keep up with Shutoku at nearly full power." I think the strong similarities and parallels between Seirin and Shutoku were the reason for this initial decision: Seirin was supposed to be beaten by the best version of them.
In terms of narrative development, having them lose to Touou and Aomine, GoM's ace, is more interesting thanks to the emotional component added by Aomine and Kuroko's shared history. But having them lose to Shutoku wasn't a bad idea; the rivalry and mirror constructions of the teams would have make it interesting as well.
I can hear his theme from the anime just by watching this.
Did i ever said Midorima's shots are my absolute favorite in KnB ? Because they are. I like them even more than Aomine's formless shots, which is a huge compliment coming from me.
The build-up to the Seirin vs. Shutoku match is really well done; Midorima is very intimidating.
On one hand, it's great that Kise drink of choice is mineral water, it can't get healthier than that ! On the other hand, if he avoids soda and other sugary drinks because of his job, i wonder if he restrains himself on other food as well.
Being a model at such a young age can't be good for maintaining a healthy relationship with your body and your diet, he could have easily developed an eating disorder. Thankfully he has basketball, which means he has to make sure to stay healthy and to eat enough to be able to progress and keep playing.
Yes, I know Fujimaki-sensei probably didn't give a single thought about the mental and physical health problems that becoming a model at 12 might cause, and I'm probably thinking about it too deeply, but it's still something worth noticing i guess.

"10's defense is even more intense than last year..." Kise is your memory ok ? Unless you confronted him twice in middle school you are talking about two years ago, not last year.
In the flashback Akashi calls him Kise and not Ryota so it couldn't be during their third year of middle school. Aomine threw too many basketball balls at his head, he must have destroyed a few neurons, i'm afraid our boy is already experiences memory loss at his young age.
This is probably the first time Kuroko has encountered a situation like this, in Teiko there was no chance that all the miracles would be blocked at the same time.
Even against the best defensive teams, at least one of them would manage to be free so Kuroko always had someone to pass to. Which is why it wasn't necessary of him to learn how to shoot or dribble back then. It would have been counterproductive because he first had to learn to be extremely good at passing and that would have made his misdirection less effective anyways.
Here as he cannot pass he is completely blocked. Seirin really needs him to learn other basketball skills.
That's really one of the things Kagami improved the most on throughout the story, he really had a short temper at the start, he got angry all the time, was more violent, had no patience. In the end he is a completely changed boy.
And it makes a lot of sense, for a full year he was always alone, he arrived in Japan for his last year of middle school and didn't make a single friend until he joined Seirin, after so long in isolation it's hard to immediately be used to interact with other people. Not to mention that his friendship with Himuro ended in a very bad way. He is just very awkward around people.
This is a bit sad considering the reason he played basketball in the first place was to make friends. But it also ended up working again since he befriended Seirin and the GoM by playing basketball with them, so it's more happy than sad.
Kagami and Aomine are similar one a lot of things, especially basketball, but this is one of the ways in which they are complete opposites. Aomine is a very slow starter, it takes him a while to really get into the game even when he's excited or looking forward to it.
Kagami start strong every times, he is more similar to Kise on that front.
I really like how the trio of Kagami, Kise and Aomine are so similar in many things and yet so different, it makes all of their interactions really interesting and narratively compelling.
Plus, Kise's bangs are cute like that. And his eyelashes are 3cm long, there's no way he doesn't use mascara.

Hate it when it happens.
I approve of Fujimaki-sensei's hard work in letting us know how silly the Miracles are. He can't let the kids get too pretentious, he has to bring them back down to earth from time to time.
He says it himself right after, Kuroko reacts that way because he knows how it feels to stop loving basketball and to almost quit because of it.
But I think he's also probably wondering how many teams and players quit basketball after a crushing loss to Teiko? If Seiho was enough to break his senpais' spirits, Teiko must have destroyed the spirit of so many players Kuroko had no idea about.
He knows about Ogiwara but the situation was a little different, getting whipped didn't demoralized Ogiwara, he never gave up until the very end and he wouldn't have stopped playing basketball because of a defeat. He quit because the GoM toyed with them with their 111-11.
“Having doubts about something you love can be painful” is something that resonates very strongly with me, it’s truly a devastating feeling.
Even though Himuro's harshness towards Kagami was related to basketball, Kagami still has a clear mind about it. He knows the problem isn't basketball itself, so he will never hate basketball because of that.
Playing defense with a smile, Murasakibara will get there at some point. Which is interesting because the day Seirin meets Murasakibara is the day they see Seiho again. During the streetball tournament
Kasuga seems to be quite observant and level headed, it's notable that the captain turn to him to get a feel of the opposing teams.
In a way, it's no surprise that he's the player Furihata has his eyes on. He's not spectacular and he doesn't have amazing abilities like Eagle, Hawk, Emperor, or Belial Eyes, but he's still one of the best point guards in Tokyo.
In a way he is what Furihata can aim to be, he is a goal he can reach one day. This is why out of all the incredible point guards we see in the manga, out of all the incredible opponents Furihata saw, Kasuga is the one he pays the most attention to and the one he admires the most.
Bonus, Furihata anxious once again since we're talking about him. He appears often lately, always panicking about something.
I forgot to do it when he first appeared, so here the kanji translation :
Tomoki Tsugawa 津川 智紀
津 (Tsu)
• Harbor, port
• A place where people and goods can cross a body of water.

智 (Tomo)

• Knowledgable
• The capacity to comprehend and process information.
紀 (Ko)
• I, Me, Self
• Earth
• Center
Also i hope he said something about the Miracles' hair colors too. That would have been so funny.
