Seirin vs Tōō
Seirin's heaviest defeat and its first win over Aomine.
Seirin vs Tōō covers the two tournament games between Seirin High and Tōō Academy, the school of Daiki Aomine and manager Satsuki Momoi. Tōō crushes Seirin 112–55 in the Inter-High championship league, and Seirin wins the rematch in the first round of the Winter Cup, Aomine's first-ever loss.
Lore & Background
Aomine, the former ace of the Generation of Miracles, was Kuroko's light at Teiko before Kagami. Tōō accommodates his habit of skipping practice, and its captain, point guard Shōichi Imayoshi, holds together a team of specialized individuals. Momoi's scouting lets Tōō predict Seirin's players, with the exception of Kuroko. The defeat in the rematch rekindles Aomine's passion for basketball.
