Sakuragi's training becomes the focus of this Slam Dunk continuation. Shohoku has preparation to do before facing Takezato, and the novice still has plenty to learn about what the team requires. This is a limited-interest purchase if you only want completed matches; the attraction is preparation and the assessment of a player's remaining weaknesses. Keep it in sequence if his development is what you are collecting, rather than selecting it as an isolated showcase of Shohoku in competition.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
VIZ's description places evidence of improvement alongside weaknesses exposed during a scrimmage. That pairing is the reason this training book deserves a place without needing to be sold as a major contest. Progress can be real while the job remains unfinished. The center experiment also gives practice a purpose beyond accumulating effort: the team is testing what Sakuragi can be asked to do. For a buyer choosing between match episodes and development material, this belongs to the latter interest. Its value depends on caring about the preparation, not merely the next result.
