Sannoh's reputation shapes Shohoku's next Nationals challenge in Slam Dunk. VIZ presents advance video study and a crowd favoring the champions as the opening pressure. Buy this as the setup for the Sannoh encounter, with room in the purchase for its continuations. It is a useful match anchor for established readers; jumping directly to a later close score would miss the initial difference between an opponent's reputation and the team that must face it.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The video is a useful detail in the publisher's premise because it gives anxiety an object. Shohoku has watched evidence of Sannoh's previous success rather than merely heard a threatening name. Anzai responds with a planned surprise opening, according to VIZ. That makes this a buying choice for readers interested in how a coach prepares players to act against an intimidating comparison. The public expectation in the stands reinforces the private expectation produced by the tape. A plan has to compete with both before it can be judged on court.
