Kuroko no Basuke Wiki

Let's Get Started (始めるわよ, Hajimeru wayo) is the twenty-first episode of the Kuroko no Basuke anime.

Synopsis

Seirin team's arrival at the beach (Ep

Seirin Team arrival at the beach

Some of his teammates are worried because Kuroko and Kagami won't pass to each other during practice, but Kiyoshi tells them not to worry. Two summer training camps are announced and before the camps, Kagami teaches Riko how to make good curry. During the first 2 weeks of summer holiday, the team will practice on the beach, and during the last 2 weeks, the team will practice in the mountains. The team is forced to practice on the beach with no dribbles, along the way realising that their regular jumps are off. Through this they learned to focus on putting their weight on the correct area of the foot.

Kuroko, Kagami, Midorima and Takao shocked seeing Riko with a knife

The next morning, Kuroko and Kagami are brushing their teeth when Midorima and other members of the Shutoku basketball team happened to be at the same place too. The two schools will therefore adjust their practice plans. In the mornings they'll hold individual practices and in the evenings they'll scrimmage against each other. Kagami is sent to get drinks, one at a time, running on the beach instead of practising with the others. Kuroko is matched one-on-one with Midorima, who tells Kuroko to stop ignoring his limits and act serious. Shutoku and Seirin are kept close though thanks to the return of Kiyoshi. That evening, Midorima tells Takao the reason Kuroko has always been touch-passing the ball, which is because the ball is the focal attention and Kuroko can't use his Misdirection while holding on to the ball. However, if Kuroko can learn to use his Misdirection while holding onto the ball, he could become unstoppable.
