After the interview Kagami heads outside to visit with his old friend, Tatsuya Himuro, and Alex, but instead of being able to resolve their differences he runs into one Shogo Haizaki of Fukuda Sogo Gakuen. When Kagami arrives, he sees Haizaki gripping Alex from the throat, and stops him. Then Haizaki tries to punch Kagami, and Kagami tries hitting him back, but Himuro stops him. Haizaki was about to strike again, but before he can act Kise arrives on the scene and reveals that Haizaki was a starter on the Generation of Miracles team before he arrived.

| Kise and Haizaki face each other head-to-head for the right to advance to face Seirin. At first it seems that Kise and Haizaki have the same copy ability as Haizaki is able to start duplicating Kise's teammates moves. However once Haizaki has duplicated a move, the original user seems to be unable to use it. Kuroko reveals that Haizaki uses psychological warfare against his opponents. While he copies the moves of the individual, he also alters the timing of the move. When the original user tries to do the move again, they try to do so with the new timing and ultimately fail. Kise and his teammates fall further behind as the second half begins. Can Kise find a move that Haizaki can't use and somehow manage to turn things around, or is his team headed for certain defeat? ||||

| Kise and Haizaki continue their face off, and Kise's pain from his injury increases. Kise realizes he is unable to defeat Haizaki using his normal way of copying and goes into a numb state of mind. As Haizaki taunts Kise about the past, Kise's teammates and friends become worried. Suddenly, Kuroko yells out to Kise that he believes in him and Kise returns from his numb state, claiming that he will win. Kise decides to resort to using his final copies, known as the Perfect Copy. The copies are the best moves of the Generation of Miracles, but there is a limit to around 5 minutes Kise can remain in this state. Haizaki becomes increasingly aware of how much Kise has improved through time. Desperate, Haizaki uses a dirty trick near the end of the game, but nonetheless, Kise is adamant about winning despite how much pain his foot is in and defeats Haizaki. Kaijo wins against Fukuda Sogo Gakuen 75–72. After the match Haizaki stands outside waiting for Kise to hurt him in a last attempt to put down Kise. However Aomine arrives and warns Haizaki not to interfere. Haizaki mocks his words and is about to punch him, but Aomine manages to punch him in the face first, temporarily knocking Haizaki out. In the end a flashback is shown their time during Teiko where Haizaki and Kuroko had conversed with one another about whether basketball was fun or not before Hazaki threw his shoes into a furnace.

Kagami realized that his shoes are broken and needs to buy new ones but couldn't find anything his size. Kuroko contacted Momo for help and she brought Daiki's basketball shoes, the same brand that Kagami favors. Daiki told Kagami that in order for him to get the shoes, he should first defeat him in a one-on-one battle in which Kagami quickly lost. Daiki told Taiga that he can take the shoes to which Kagami grudgingly accepts, saying that he'll take it for now and that their competition isn't finished yet. Kagami and Kuroko rushed to the venue of the Winter Cup to watch the first semi-finals game: Rakuzan Vs. Shūtoku. ||||

| As the second half of the match between Shutoku and Rakuzan starts, Akashi uses his eye, it is revealed that Akashi was the one who found Kuroko's talent by using his eye on him, which meant that the eye can see potential of people, but it is said that in matches the eye is completely different, it predicts the future movement of the other players, thus nullifying both offence and defense of the other team. ||||

| Takao and Midorima's team play, makes a comeback with support from the rest of the team. Kuroko, Kise and Murasakibara explain that it is the first time that the players from Generation of Miracles never played at their full potential, since it would be not only tax their bodies, but also no one would be able to play against them if they did. Seeing the Shutoku make threes one after the other, Akashi throws the ball in their own basket, and tells his team that if they can only concentrate if the lead is small, then it is better if he brings down their lead. He also promises them that if they lose, he will take all the blame and gouge out his eyes as atonement. Hearing this, Rakuzan team recovers. Akashi also announces to Midorima that he'll not be able to shoot again. Akashi stops the next pass between Takao and Midorima which becomes a turning point in the game. ||||

| Rakuzan win the game 86–70. Akashi refuses to shake hands with Midorima, since he wishes to remain a foe to all for them to win. Its Seirin vs Kaijo. Kuroko tells Kise that he saw him as a rival, since he passed him quickly after he (Kuroko) became his (Kise's) mentor in middle school. Seirin hope to gain an insurmountable lead in the early stages of the game before Kise uses his unstoppable Perfect Copy and so they quickly go on the offense scoring the first 2 points with Kuroko's Vanishing Drive and the Phantom Shot, however this plan is thwarted as Kise immediately initiates the Perfect Copy and returns the favor with Midorima's full court shot. Seirin attempt to fight back however Kagami is overcome by Kise's Emperor Eye which he is able to imitate as close to the original as possible. Seirin attempt to return on the offensive with Kuroko's Phantom Shot however by combining Aomine's agility and Murasakibara's defensive capabilities, Kise shockingly blocks the seemingly unblockable Phantom Shot leaving Kuroko at a loss. ||||

| Kise continues to play his Perfect Copy till the score reaches 13–2, and stops it thereafter, believing he has given the game momentum. Seirin becomes too eager to close the gap and starts making misses. Riko sends Furihata and subs out Izuki. Even though Furihata seems nervous at first, Riko mentions that since he's a coward, he'll be cautious, which in turn will calm down the entire team and Seirin begins to score. Izuki is subbed in and set against Kasamatsu. As Kasamatsu is unable to shoot, it becomes a showdown between the aces. ||||

| Kise is subbed out as the coach spots his leg injury worsening. As Kagami gets double teamed, Kuroko scores using his Phantom Shot, Kasamatsu figures out the trick and stops Kuroko's Phantom Shot, exposing the trick, just before he is subbed out. Kagami brings the score to a tie. As Kise continues to heal his leg, Kasamatsu's incredible play brings scores for Kaijo. ||||

| Kise's injury becomes worse. His coach orders him to step off the court for a while and rest until the last two minutes of the last quarter wherein he could use his Perfect Copy. Kagami with the help of the team, especially Kiyoshi and Izuki are able to take control of the game and give Seirin 15-point gap in the lead with four minutes left in the game. Kise, frustrated and despairing at the widening gap with such little time of the game left, returns to the court despite his coach's opposition remarking on how the ace's job is to lead the team to victory. A cornered and fired up Kise immediately overcomes Kagami with Akashi's Emperor Eye and dunks right on Kiyoshi. With the help of Kuroko's Ignite Pass, Kagami attempts to score back however Kise uses Murasakibara's impenetrable block to prevent this. Kise, to the horror of Seirin and Rico, then copies Kuroko's Ignite pass - launching the ball across the court and allowing Kaijo to score again. Rico notes how Kise's stamina is burning at half the rate and laments on the team's naivety at believing they could stay ahead before realizing that Seirin cannot hope to win without stopping the Perfect Copy which Kise is now able to use until the end of the game. ||||

| The episode starts with Kaijo leading by a point. Seirin begins the counter attack in run-and-gun method, surprising the Kaijo and audience. During the counterattack, Izuki passes the ball to Kiyoshi, who using the Right of Postponement passes the ball to Hyuga. When Hguya fakes a three pointer and dribbles through, Kise copying Aomine tries to steal the ball. Kuroko cuts in to pass it to Kagami, who scores in spite of resistance from Kise. Kaijo thinks of using the full 30 seconds rule to score and turn around the score, which directly results in win. Kuroko tries to steal from Kise, who copying Aomine evades and runs into Kagami. Kagami is evaded by two cutbacks using Akashi's Emperor Eye. Now under the hoop, Kise tries to score using Murasakibara's Thor Hammer, but somehow feels he is being tricked by Seirin, which becomes true when Izuki tips the ball using Eagle Spear. In flashback, Kuroko explains to team, that we found two quirks in Kise's play. Firstly, he copies Aomine instantaneously when in fix, whom he copies best and second one is that he subconsciously avoids using same copies consecutively. Kise refusing to give up passes the ball to teammate who scores. Everyone feels that Kaijo secured the victory but Himuro feels strange that Seirin's bench is still not anxious despite the score. His belief turns into reality when Seirin counter attacks using Kagami. Akashi explains to Rakuzan teammates that Kuroko induced this play beginning from Seirin's run-and-gun counter attack to Kise being drawn in, to provide Kagami head start to counter attack in the remaining 4 sec. Kise miraculously runs fast to stop Kagami, who tries to score by Meteor Jam. Realizing that he is unable to score, Kagami passes the ball to onrushing Kuroko via backboard, who scores a buzzer beater. Kise congratulates Kuroko and Kagami for reaching finals, with Kuroko acknowledging with Kagami that Kise is the best player. While leaving from locker room, Kagami realizes he lost his ring and goes to check in the basketball court. Midorima gives him the ring and two talk about the results of their games. Midorima warns Kagami that there are two Akashi's in fact and asks him to give his best at least to make it count against Akashi, before leaving. When Kagami asks Kuroko about what Midorima meant, he dodges saying that he wants to tell about it to entire team. So Seirin gathers in Kagami's flat and Kuroko begins to tell his past chronologically beginning with how he wanted to play basketball and became friend's with Ogiwara, who taught him how to play. He reveals that Ogiwara quit the game because of him. ||||

During a game between the third and second string, Kuroko proved himself and was upgraded to first string. But when he plays in a friendly game as starting player, he is so nervous he is subbed out immediately. The coaches are unsure if they should keep him on first string, but with Aomine's encouragement, they keep him on for one day. Now that Kuroko's nerves are under control, his help in the team is obvious and he is permanently placed on the first string bench. ||||

One day, the head coach collapses, and the assistant coach is forced to take over the program. The individual members of the team begin to undergo rapid growth in strength and ability. Aomine leaves in the middle of practice one day, and the coach reluctantly gives him permission to skip practices so long as he shows up to games, leaving Aomine in even more despair, conflicted over the lack of strong competition and his passion for basketball. After Murasakibara demands to also be allowed to skip practices, openly defying Akashi, the latter decides to challenge him one-on-one. The other members of the Generation of Miracles are shocked as Murasakibara seemingly overwhelms Akashi, but just as Akashi is about to lose, he switches personalities and crushes Murasakibara.

He later tells Kuroko (who failed to convince Aomine to return to practice) that there are actually two of him. ||||

Akashi pairs up against Kagami and Akashi takes control of the game until Mitobe's defense breaks the flow. Kagami exits the zone, and Kuroko re-enters the game. Kuroko is more visible than usual, which Akashi claims is due to his learning how to dribble and shoot. Disheartened, Kuroko is taken out of the match for one side pass, then put back in for the remainder of the first quarter. The first quarter is finished with a tie, 21–21. Kuroko is set to sit out the 2nd quarter to think of a solution. Meanwhile Rakuzan's Chihiro Mayuzumi reveals his ability to misdirect just like Kuroko, but with better base attributes. ||||

The team entrusts their hopes with Hyuga and Kagami. Reo goads Hyuga into making his third and fourth fouls, forcing him to be benched. With Seirin's hearts broken, Kuroko re-enters the game, declaring he wants to win. Kuroko goes up against Mayuzumi, and allows him to make some shoots in order for Kuroko to regain his lack of presence. Kagami re-enters the zone. Instead of subbing Mayuzumi out, Akashi uses him as a tool of misdirection. ||||
| 71 | 21 | "In my own way, I'm desperate" Transliteration: "Kore demo hisshida yo" (Japanese: これでも必死だよ) | May 30, 2015 (2015-05-30) |

| Hyuga rejoins the match in fourth quarter and scores the first three, flourishing under the pressure and having worked out how to tell the difference between Mibuchi Reo's three shots, and the secret of "Void". Despite Kiyoshi's knee injury bothering him, he pushes back against his opponent Eikichi Nebuya. Akashi relieves control of the ball against Kagami who is going even deeper in the zone. However, Akashi has learnt how to enter the zone at will, reserving it for when Rakuzan is in trouble. His trigger being when he decides to abandon the rest of the team and use his own strength to win. Akashi enters the zone and scores on his own. Seirin calls a timeout with Rakuzan in the lead, 90–78. Seirin puts their faith in Kagami. In the audience, Aomine mentions that he suspects there is a greater zone within the zone. And that Kagami may need to open this second "door" to be able to beat Akashi. ||||
| 73 | 23 | "Why don't we give up" Transliteration: "Akiramemasen ka" (Japanese: 諦めませんか) | June 13, 2015 (2015-06-13) |
| Faced by Akashi's huge zone of defense, Kagami despairs, having reached the bottom of the zone, but seeing no way to open the "door". Kuroko suggests they give up relying solely on Kagami for now, and offers to take some of the burden. By watching and predicting Kagami's movement, Kuroko becomes Kagami's "eye" and is able to intercept Akashi. Although stunned, Akashi catches up and attempts to stop Kagami, but is intercepted again by Kuroko. One last time, Akashi attempts to intercept Kagami's dunk, but Kagami, with his teammates supporting him, manages to crack open the "door" within the zone and scores. Akashi misses a goal, and has fallen out of the Zone. A voice inside Akashi starts telling him to give-up. Rakuzan calls a time out with 5 minutes left in the game, and the score 92–90. Just as Rakuzan's coach is about to sub Akashi out, Mayuzumi chastises Akashi, asking rhetorically "Who are you?", which triggers an internal dialogue with his other self. Akashi strove for victory in order to keep his team together and in his weakness he created his other self. But then he started playing for victory itself, forgetting why. Now, his two selves appear to merge, or perhaps switch places, and, echoing his words to Kuroko in middle school, aloud he declares himself "Akashi Seijuro". ||||
| 74 | 24 | "So It Was You" Transliteration: "Omaedattan janē ka" (Japanese: お前だったんじゃねーか) | June 20, 2015 (2015-06-20) |
| Akashi starts supporting the team by setting up perfect opportunities which also boosts their morale. The watching members of the Generation of Miracles recognize Akashi's old self. Seirin still manage to score, but Akashi enters the zone again and Akashi's support draws out his team members' potentials, making them enter an imperfect version of the zone, possible because they are members of the "Uncrowned Kings". Kagami is the only one who can stand against them, but reaches his physical limits, and exits the zone. The rest of Seirin are also exhausted and Seirin has no more time outs left. Suddenly, Kuroko's friend, Ogiwara, cheers from the audience, bringing Kuroko to tears. Aomine, Kise, Midorima and other past opponents adds their cheers, and the crowd starts to chant for Seirin. With the Rakuzan in the lead, 103–96 and 2 minutes left in the game, Kagami talks with the team, and manages to fully open the "door within the zone", unveiling the "True Zone", which is team play at the speed of the zone (possible because of the bond between the team members). Aomine realizes that the person in front of the "door" is not a gatekeeper, but Kuroko, leading the way to team play. Seirin manage to score a two-pointer, but Akashi counters with a two pointer, and is not going to allow Seirin to win that easily. ||||

| With 40 seconds left in the game, Rakuzan is in the lead, 105–98. Kagami scores with 27 seconds left. With 17 seconds left, Izuki is the only one not fired up, deliberately trying to keep calm and use his head to catch Rakuzan off-guard. He predicts that Rakuzan will take a shot and steals the ball, making a perfect pass to Hyuga. Hyuga forces a foul as he scores a three and is allowed a free throw. Hyuga's shot rebounds and Kiyoshi uses his last strength to take it. With three seconds left the ball is passed to Kuroko, who goes to shoot. Akashi defends but Kuroko states "I am the shadow", and Kagami does one of his impossible jumps to dunk and Seirin win, 105–106, winning the Winter Cup. Akashi experiences his first ever loss, but is thankful to Kuroko and congratulates him with tears in his eyes. Some days later, Seirin see Kiyoshi off at the airport, as he is going overseas to get surgery for his knee. Meanwhile 3rd years from Seirin's opponent teams are studying for college, while their teams appoint new captains and prepare for the next season of Basketball. Seirin return to school to practice but Kuroko is late. Kagami is sent to find him, and Kuroko explains that he was getting a photo from Momoi. As Kuroko and Kagami head back to practice, Kuroko's locker opens to reveal the photo: a team photo of the Generation of Miracles reunited. ||||
