A new training regimen begins—and a crucial rivalry is reignited.
Volume 16 of the legendary Slam Dunk series takes a brief but meaningful detour from the high-stakes tournament action, offering a breather after the intense showdown against Kainan . This volume, titled Survival Game , focuses on Hanamichi Sakuragi's growth as he confronts his biggest weakness: his shooting .
Following Shohoku's narrow 90-88 loss to the Kainan Kings , Sakuragi is determined to improve. Coach Anzai, recognizing the "genius's" potential and his glaring flaws, places him on a grueling training regimen. With only three days until the game against rival school Takezato, Sakuragi's task is simple but punishing: he must make 500 shots every single day . This intensive practice forces Sakuragi to develop discipline and fundamental skills, a crucial step in his evolution from a raw athlete into a reliable player.
The volume also offers a tactical look ahead as Shohoku watches the match between Kainan and their upcoming opponent, Ryonan High . This game features an impressive display from Ryonan's star player, Akira Sendoh, and introduces a key new player: the high-scoring prodigy Fukuda . This serves as essential reconnaissance, setting the stage for the epic rematch that looms on the horizon.
