"Aiming for the finals league, Seirin takes on Shutoku and their Miracle Generation ace, Midorima. The team's fired up thanks to Kagami, but how will the battle end?! Meanwhile, a friend from Kuroko's middle school appears. Will his teammates find out what happened in Kuroko's mysterious past?!"--Back cover.

It's Seirin's final match against Rakuzan in the Winter Cup, and Kuroko's been...defeated?! In a cruel twist of fate, all of his breakthroughs have ended up robbing him of his defining talent--his invisibility! Seirin's already at a crippling disadvantage when they encounter Rakuzan's secret weapon-- Mayuzumi, an upgraded version of the phantom sixth man! Can Seirin make one final push?!.

In a flashback, the Miracle Generation players realize their immense talents as second-years in middle school. However, their newfound power causes a rift between them and everyone else. Meanwhile, a confrontation with Murasakibara ends up awakening Akashi's true potential--but the incident only hastens the end of Teiko Middle School's basketball club.

Tetsuya Kuroko doesn't stand out much. In fact, he's so plain that people hardly ever notice when he's around. Though he's just as unremarkable on the basketball court, that's where his plainness gives him an unexpected edge--one that lets him execute awesome moves without others noticing ... Seirin's taken the lead in the semifinal game against Kaijo, but they're in a bad spot when Kise returns to the court and turns the game around with his Perfect Copy move. Can Kuroko and the rest of the team concoct a strategy to deal with Kise?.

It's Rakuzan versus Shutoku! The showdown between Miracle Generation members Akashi and Midorima is finally under way. Meanwhile, Seirin is getting ready for its game against Kaijo High and Kise! Kuroko has proven his worth with his Vanishing Drive and Phantom Shot moves, but can they match up to Kise's Perfect Copy?!.

Seirin's fighting an uphill battle against Murasakibara and Himuro of Yosen. But a bit of inspiration from Kise helps Kagami get in the zone! Meanwhile, Himuro's encouragement finally convinces Murasakibara to take the game seriously! The quarterfinal match between Seirin and Yosen is about to be decided!.

In the quarterfinal match of the Winter Cup, Seirin is up against Yosen, which has won its last two games by completely shutting down its opponents. Can Kuroko and company come up with an attack strategy to smash through Yosen's defense?! And can Kagami really win against his 'big brother' from America, Himuro?! It's time for the tip-off!.

It's the third quarter of Seirin's game against To-oh, and the team faces a tough time when Momoi's strategies nullify Kuroko's effectiveness. His misdirection is failing, and Aomine's unbelievable skills are leaving Seirin in the dust... Now all hopes for victory rest on Kuroko's ultimate move!.

Seiren's made it into the Winter Cup! The team decides to take a break at a hot spring in preparation for the tournament. While there, they run into Aomine and are surprised to learn that To-Oh Academy, the very same team that blew them out in the Inter-High qualifiers, will be their first opponent!.

The Winter Cup qualifiers continue as Seirin takes on Shutoku. With Shutoku and their star player Midorima back for revenge, Seirin faces a challenge unlike any before and finds itself facing a large deficit!
