Slam Dunk Chapter 189 Discussion

it was a sad story, but is the true of the sports, a lof of them fallen for everyone taht  touch the sky!!!

----------------------------------------

                        To bad for Yazawa, but now the caoch has new players to train, ans sakuragi and runkawa sure make things really fun to read the manga..

I'm glad that Yazawa didn't commit suicide, would've felt a little out of place to be honest.

In a way I'm really surprised about all the dramatic and sad flashbacks; I really didn't expect anything serious like that in the beginning.

But I'm really glad that Inoue sensei added another layer of depth and a stonger sense of realism to Slam Dunk through this.

Whether it was Mitsui's redemption arc, Sakuragi's father, Uozumi's past or Antai sensei's past; they were really well executed and fortunately never came off as cheap or overly dramatic to me (which is remarkable since Inoue sensei could've easily gone for more melodrama and tearjerkers etc.)

Basics are the most important, they say

Yazawa's death must've been hard on Anzai. He doesn't want a repeat of that.

Yazawa didn't listen to Anzai and lost his life.

But lol, that last panel destroyed the sadness of this chapter, Yazawa's tombstone was asking Anzai if he gained weight.
