[slamdunktheories]

All the cameos in The First Slam Dunk

Had a freeze-frame watch party of The First Slam Dunk with my SD BFF and here are all the side characters that you can spot!

Uozumi (see red arrow above) - he's seen loads of times but this is the most prominent one

Aiwa, with Moroboshi being easily spotted because of his hairstyle and his crossed arms

Daiei Gakuen - With Tsuchiya also easily identifiable because of his haircut

Tetsu - he's actually seen at least 6 times in the first half of the movie

The Kanagawa reporters, Aida and Nakamura

Tetsu again and Kawata bros' mum in the pale yellow polo (looking indeed bigger than most people LOL). Also in frame: the university coach and player (in white shirt and green polo).

Kainan - you can make out Maki (darker skin), Kiyota, Jin, Muto and Miyamasu (right behind Muto)

can you do more kiyota headcanons

He’s literally one of my favs and I’ve been meaning to do something for him

random kiyota hcs

• One thing about Kiyota; he is gonna be FUN to be around. I think regardless of if you’re a friend, his love interest, acquaintance, or even just an acquaintance, you’d get sucked in by him.

• In terms of academics.. that boy definitely got into Kainan on a sports scholarship 😂. Although I’d say he’s a better student than Sakuragi, I do not think he’s a good student.

• He’d lowkey be the type to ask to go to the bathroom during class and then wander around the halls for like 15 minutes. If he saw anyone he knew also in the halls, he’d walk around with them.

• I feel like he’s the type to have a large friendgroup? But he’d only have like 3-5 fr close friends. If you’re a close friend though, HE’D DEF VALUE IT. Yall would be hanging out 24/7, he’d be a great texter, EVERYTHING. Kiyota is the type of dude that communicates his feelings very well, so there’d be no drama or misunderstandings

• If he saw a pretty girl, I feel like he’d tell everyone BUT the girl. Like mf would be going around to Jin talking some “Bro the girl in my class is so pretty”, but if he got told to just talk to her, he’d make a ton of dumb excuses. HOWEVER he would have the courage to eventually approach her and try to impress her.

• He’d think he’s amazing with the ladies… but not really 💀. I think he is really funny but he would overdo it with a girl since he’s desperate to make her laugh. And it may end up just bothering her.

• But he’d really make an effort for any girl he liked!!! Handwritten letters, candlelit dinners that he made himself, and he’d never stop complimenting you. I feel like he’s a romantic person at heart and he’d want a hs girlfriend

• As messy and chaotic as he is, lowkey he’d be great at cooking. Although he’d leave the kitchen and sink a MESS, whatever he makes is gonna be GOOD! He’d be the type to share food he made with his friends at lunch (reluctantly)

Essay

Kogure Kiminobu Vs Kaede Rukawa: A microcosm of Singaporean male beauty standards

A reason why Slam Dunk is such a popular anime is because it revolutionised hot guys doing hot stuff that's present in modern sports anime with volatile fanbases such as Free!! and Haikyuu. When it comes to the poster boy of hotness for Slam Dunk, Kaede Rukawa (no glasses) is the king and even overshadowed the main character, Sakuragi. His appeal as the quiet, mysterious basketball ace of Sohoku made Rukawa a very popular character within the series. For example, the very existence of the Rukawa Fan Club proves this. His popularity was also apparent outside of the series, swooning girls who watched this series in the 90's (half of the cinema for the slam dunk movie were middle aged women).

On the other hand, we have the character of Kiminobu Kogure, the quiet, meek and nerdy 6th man of the Sohoku Basketball Team. Unlike Rukawa, his popularity within the series isn't as apparent. Throughout the series, we had him depicted as a strong foundation of the team but was never shown having any luck with girls compared to Rukawa.

Why did I write this comparison? Walk down the streets of Singapore and tell me what you see.

1 IN 5 GUYS LOOKS LIKE KOGURE

It's obvious that the template for Singaporean guys is like this because of the Korean influence from the popularity of Kdramas and K-pop idols, that's not my point. What I am trying to say is that in the span of 20 years or so, what's considered "attractive" in society has been flipped upside down. If you pull up to a barber and ask for the Rukawa haircut chances are you're gonna end up with a shitty ass bowl cut and I'm sorry most guys won't have Rukawa's God given sharp eyes and facial features. It's just easier to look better with the style of Kogure and it's interesting to observe after watching the recent Slam Dunk movie and seeing the dynamics play out.

This is the end of my essay, it's really pointless but interesting to point out and relate it to our everyday lives. I look nothing like either two characters so it's just an average Joe giving his perspective on things.

(i wish nozaki's style was popular it would be a god send)

[midgeonastar]

I'm so amazed by how good Rukawa is at playing basketball. like, he scored 25 points in the first half of the game against Kainan.

he did all that without the presence of Takenori, and that's fucking impressive!!

and the fact that at the beginning of the break, Takenori complimented him, like, THATS RIGHT, RUKAWA DESERVES IT ALL!!!
