Rukawa is probably feeling like he 'lost' to Sendo and probably feels like he should have played better and that Sakuragi saved the team from losing when he should have instead.
I'm starting to think that Sakuragi is the only thing to keep Rukawa entertained enough to stay in Basketball. Like Fukawa did for Sendo. But Rukawa's so taciturn, he makes Sendo seem gregarious.
wow INTERESTING..Rukawa also voice for SEPHIROTH..awesome...SAKURAGI voice for TRUNKS in DBZ...MITSUI HISHASI also voice for Renji in Bleach....awesome....
Now this episode is beginning to look into the side of Shohoku and other players. Uozumi is going to become a sushi chef? I'd like to get used to sushi! If I tried it. Look good in a way! I miss my basketball time already!
