Two arcs collide as Shohoku faces their biggest test yet.
Volume 17 of the legendary Slam Dunk series delivers a powerful one-two punch of high-stakes basketball and emotional drama. The volume is split into two major arcs: the conclusion of the epic Kainan vs. Ryonan showdown, and the beginning of the long-awaited Shohoku vs. Ryonan rematch.
The volume opens with Shohoku watching from the sidelines as Kainan and Ryonan battle for the first qualifying spot in the Interhigh Championship. Kainan superstar Maki leads his team to victory, aided by a key Ryonan player getting into foul trouble. However, the Shohoku team is abruptly forced to leave when they receive alarming news: Coach Anzai has collapsed and is now in the hospital.
This shocking event triggers a rare flashback into Sakuragi's troubled past, revealing a deeply personal connection to his coach's collapse. With Kainan advancing to the finals, Shohoku must now face Ryonan in a do-or-die match for the last remaining spot in the national tournament. The volume ends with the first half of this intense showdown, pitting Sakuragi against Ryonan's superstars, Sendoh and the towering Uozumi.
