Seirin High team faced Ryota Kise's team first in a practice match. 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. They then met Shintaro Midorima's school Shutoku in the preliminaries of Interhigh. 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. Seirin managed to defeat team Shutoku but their winning streak ended after they lost badly to Touhou Academy, whose basketball team included the Ace of the "Generation of Miracles" - Daiki Aomine. After this game, they lost their remaining two matches against Senshinkan and Meisei and were eliminated from the Interhigh. However, a new player arrives to join Seirin - Kiyoshi Teppei, the man who formed the Seirin Basketball team. They spent the entire summer training for the Winter Cup, even coincidentally meeting Shutoku while training.

Kuroko's Basketball is often compared to Weekly Shōnen Jump's earlier basketball-themed manga Slam Dunk. However, Azusa Takahashi of Real Sound pointed out whereas Slam Dunk was very realistic, the newer series is more focused on entertainment and is strongly based in fiction with each character having a "special move."[52] The anime series was awarded the 2013 Tokyo Anime Award in the Television Category.[68]
Kagami Taiga transfers to a middle school in Japan, joining their basketball club. While playing in a practice match, he scores the basket but accidentally knocks down another player in the process. Kagami extends his hand to apologise but the other player tells him that he noticed how bored Kagami looked while playing basketball.
Time passes by and Kagami's fellow students note how he is always alone in school because the basketball club doesn't like him. Kagami looks out the window and wishes for more excitement while playing basketball.
Back in the present, Kagami is seen walking to Seirin but is surprised when Kuroko appears behind him with Nigou in hand. Kuroko tells him that it's his turn to take care of Nigou but then is interrupted when Kagami receives a phone call. Alex is calling Kagami from the USA while accompanied by a coach. She tells the American coach how great of a player Kagami is and that he loves basketball more than anyone. The coach in return asks her if he can expect a "good answer" from Kagami.
The match of Team Jabberwock vs Team Strky begins with Jabberwock catching the ball during tip-off. Gold dribbles the ball, hiding it behind his back before passing it to Allen who scores the basket. The match continues but the atmosphere of the court changes with Jabberwock's play turning into a provocative one. The Generation of Miracles notice that this style of play is not not only provocative but is showing just how openly the Jabberwock is looking down on their opponents. It is so degrading that even if they wanted to, the audience couldn't enjoy the match at all.
At the club, Jabberwock notice Kagetora come in, asking him why he had come. Kagetora notices Kuroko there as well, confronting Jabberwock about their basketball style. Meanwhile, as Kuroko is confronting Jabberwock in the club, the Generation of Miracles and Kagami are seen running to the club, afraid of what trouble Kuroko could get himself into. Gold gets annoyed by Kuroko's words and kicks him in the stomach before the rest of the Vorpal Swords arrive.
The two teams are close to getting into a fight but Akashi stops them, telling his team that they should sort this out with basketball, which is something that Kuroko would want. Vorpal Swords leave but are mocked by Jabberwock for running away. Akashi leaves the Jabberwock with a warning that tomorrow they better be ready to lose.
The match carries on with different combinations and team play from Vorpal Swords. Kise uses his Perfect Copy while Aomine enters the Zone to attempt to stop Silver who has been scoring baskets with his immense strength. Gold uses his incredibly fast dribbling and his Demon Eye to pass the ball and score, something which Akashi is faced with.
Elsewhere, the Generation of Miracles are sitting on a bench, watching as a plane flies off. Aomine declares his goal of joining the NBA as well and playing against Kagami one day again. Midorima agrees, planning to pursue the same path while knowing that the rest will do the same since they all love basketball very much. Akashi smiles and agrees, saying that if they all continue playing basketball they will meet Kagami once again.
Hey guys. I just finished the three seasons of Kuroko no basket and the specials. Ah and the bloopers xD But now I'm curious because there are four movies. I know that 'last game' is a "must" but I wanted to ask y'all if I should watch the other three. I read the descriptions but to me it seems that the three movies are just summaries of the games I already watched in the TV series. Are there extra scenes in it? Or can I just skip them and watch the forth movie?
Shortly after the Inter-High of Kagami and Kuroko's second-year, a street basketball team from the USA called Team Jabberwock came to Japan to play a friendly match against a Japanese college-level street basketball team, Team Strky. Despite their best efforts, Strky is brutally crushed by Jabberwock. After the match, the Jabberwock players insult the players from Strky and all of Japanese basketball, claiming Strky's basketball was at the same level as monkeys and telling the players and crowds to quit playing basketball and kill themselves. As a revenge match, Kagetora assembles a dream team of all members of Generation of Miracles plus Kuroko Tetsuya and Kagami Taiga, along with bench players Hyūga Junpei, Takao Kazunari, and Wakamatsu Kōsuke, forming Team Vorpal Swords, with the hopes of reclaiming the pride of Japanese basketball.
