I'm sure I'll never like Rukawa, I simply can't like him. I don't know very well why but that's a fact, to me he's one of the worst characters in the series. I can't get him, so I didn't really enjoy this chapter.
When I read Slam Dunk for the first time (in 2012) I had the exact same opinion. I really liked Sakuragi and I (almost) hated Rukawa. Right now, reading it for the second time I think I understand him better. I like Rukawa’s character a little more. If it wasn’t because of Rukawa, maybe Sakuragi would never become a better player than he was in the beginning.
Yes, I agree on that.
