Kuroko's Basketball: Moonlit Mirage, Faking Aomine into Tears

A weirdo joins Teiko's basketball club: he passes the tryouts wearing a judo uniform and earns the number 10 jersey through wrestling. Aizen can't shoot or understand tactics, yet he can always knock Aomine Daiki to the floor with his body. Coach Shirogane overrules everyone's objections and keeps him on the team, seeing only the ferocity that lets him carry Hanamiya Makoto flying through the air.

But judo alone won't be enough to hold his own on a team packed with monsters. The Master of Feints badge requires him to successfully deceive opponents thirty thousand times, yet his three-point shooting and dribbling fundamentals are so atrocious they're hard to watch. As Aomine, Akashi, and the others grow stronger with every game, Aizen has to turn those perfect feints that fool everyone into actual points before the official matches begin.

He shuts out an opponent in a one-on-one at the Tokyo baseball field and knocks Aomine three meters away in a practice match. But the more he does this, the more glaring his fatal weakness becomes: if he can't get close enough to wrestle, he's no threat at all. When Hanamiya Makoto takes the court against him with dirty tricks and traps, and the Generation of Miracles shine ever brighter, can Aizen's Kagami style of movement really make the entire arena believe the illusion?
