The battle against Ryonan reaches its peak—and Shohoku's ace is about to awaken.
Volume 19 of the legendary Slam Dunk series delivers the intense second half of the do-or-die match between Shohoku and Ryonan High for the last spot in the national championship. After Mitsui's heroic three-pointers in Volume 18, Shohoku ends the first half down by just six points. But the real battle is just beginning.
Ryonan's star player, the prodigious Akira Sendoh, has been watching and waiting. Now he's ready to take control of the game. To counter him, Shohoku must rely on their own "super rookie," Kaede Rukawa—who still has plenty of strength left. The match intensifies as Rukawa and Sendoh, two of the most talented players in the tournament, face off in a duel of skill and strategy. Meanwhile, the pressure on Ryonan continues to draw fouls, forcing Shohoku to wonder: can they exploit this and pull ahead, or is Ryonan's coach Taoka just waiting for them to trip themselves up?
This volume showcases Takehiko Inoue's masterful ability to capture high-stakes basketball—the sweat, exhaustion, and raw emotion of a team fighting for its future.
