An anime film adaptation of the Kuroko's Basketball: Extra Game manga premiered in March 2017.
By November 2020, Kuroko's Basketball had over 31 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series.
The Generation of Miracles include Ryota Kise, Shintaro Midorima, Daiki Aomine, Atsushi Murasakibara, and Seijuro Akashi.
Although Kise was capable of copying all of Kagami's skills with added strength and speed, Kuroko's abilities helped narrow the distance and eventually, Seirin won this game.
The game was much more difficult; not only was Midorima considerably stronger than Kagami, but also Kuroko's ability of misdirection was completely shut down by Takao's Hawk Eyes.
This match ended into a tie, so Seirin needed to defeat team Kirisaki Daichi in order to advance.
Kirisaki Daichi's captain was Makoto Hanamiya, a member of the Uncrowned Kings well-known for his underhanded methods to win a match.
