Slam Dunk: Starting with the Kuroko Tetsuya Template

Inside the classroom of 2nd-year Class 3, the homeroom teacher introduced a new student.

"This is our transfer student from Sannoh High School, Shirayama Sei. Everyone, let's welcome him."

Shirayama stepped forward, a calm and gentle smile on his face. "My name is Shirayama Sei. Please take care of me."

The class erupted into applause, accompanied by whispers, particularly from the girls.

"Welcome, new student!"

"Wow, blue hair! That's so rare!"

"What a cute boy!"

"He's so handsome and gentle… totally my type!"

The teacher continued, "Shirayama-kun, for now, take the seat next to the class representative. After the monthly exam next week, we'll rearrange the seating."

Shirayama nodded. "Got it."

He walked toward the waving girl indicated by the teacher, still wearing his soft smile.

However, as he looked around at the distinctly Japanese high school classroom, a wave of confusion flooded his mind.

What the heck is going on?!

The girl greeted him warmly. "I'm Kawai Mari."

He responded politely, "I'm Shirayama Sei. Nice to meet you."

This girl, as it turned out, was the class representative. She had short hair and a decent look, scoring around 80 points in terms of appearance.

But as Shirayama observed her closely, his confusion only deepened.

I know her!

Kawai Mari… Isn't she a reporter for Shōhoku's school paper? One of the rare named female characters in Slam Dunk?!

His expression remained calm, but inside, he was utterly panicking.

Yesterday, Shirayama had been scrolling through Facelook, immersed in an intense online debate.

The post? "Can Kuroko Tetsuya dominate the Slam Dunk world?"

Slam Dunk fans were adamant:

"He'd be nothing under the real-world basketball rules. About on par with Haruko."

"He'd get the ball stolen like crazy and wouldn't even manage to shoot."

"Without his sci-fi powers, he'd barely be at Hikoichi's level."

"He's not even as good as Miyamasu. At least Miyamasu can hit a solid three-pointer!"

Shirayama and other Kuroko no Basuke fans strongly opposed this:

"You're talking nonsense! Complete nonsense!"

"Kuroko no Basuke is on a galactic level!"

"Even Kuroko Tetsuya would obliterate the Slam Dunk world!"

He spent the entire night in heated arguments, battling Slam Dunk fans online until dawn.

The next morning, when he woke up, he found himself transported into the world of Slam Dunk.

He wasn't just anywhere, though. He was now a 2nd-year transfer student at Shōhoku High.

Sitting in the classroom, Shirayama was anything but focused on the lesson.

His emotions swirled—confusion, curiosity, excitement, and anticipation blending into a chaotic storm within him.

"Well… Since I'm here, I'll make the most of it!"

In his previous life, Shirayama Sei had been just an ordinary person—average looks, average grades, average career.

But now, fate had handed him an incredible opportunity. A chance to start over.

He wasn't going to waste it.

Shirayama declared inwardly: "Financial freedom, a happy life, and living to the fullest!"

This time around, he was younger and, undeniably, more handsome. The shy glances and flirtatious smiles from the girls earlier were proof enough.

However…

Handsome as he might be, he was short. At just 168 cm (about 5'6"), he felt crippled in a world dominated by basketball.

"This is the Slam Dunk world! A basketball world! What can I do at 168 cm?!"

On top of his height disadvantage, there was another glaring issue.

Shirayama was a basketball noob. He barely knew how to play!

"What now?!"

He muttered under his breath, "Wait, don't people who transmigrate always get some kind of cheat ability?"

"System? Are you there? Answer me!"

Suddenly, a robotic voice echoed in his mind:

[Ding!]

Then, a narration-like message appeared:

[Sannoh High School—A Myth in the World of High School Basketball]

Over the past three years, the team produced several prodigies, including Sawakita. Yet, one player went unnoticed—a rookie with little playtime but immense potential. Even Sawakita held him in high regard. This player was Shirayama Sei, the Phantom Sixth Man.

As Shirayama processed this information, memories began flooding into his mind—memories that felt entirely real.

[This year, Sannoh High achieved their third consecutive championship, claiming every major award. Afterward, Sawakita declared, "The only one who can beat me is myself." However, due to conflicting philosophies with Sawakita's victory-above-all style, Shirayama Sei left the team. Seeking his own path in basketball, he transferred to Shōhoku High School.]

When the memories fully integrated, Shirayama was dumbfounded.

"This… Isn't this just like Kuroko Tetsuya's backstory?!"

"The memories… they're all mine?!"

Just as Shirayama began to piece it together, the robotic voice returned:

[Ding!]

[Adjusting the Slam Dunk world's background… Adjustment complete.]
