Kuroko continued to play basketball and developed his skills further, even after Kagami moved to the US.
After Kagami’s departure to pursue basketball in America, Kuroko Tetsuya remained at Seirin High School to finish his own high school career. During this time, he took on a more prominent role in the team, both as a player and as a mentor to the underclassmen. Kuroko’s unique playing style, known as the “Misdirection” and “Phantom Shot,” continued to evolve, allowing him to become more effective on the court despite his lack of presence.
Seirin’s basketball team faced new challenges and opponents, but Kuroko’s determination and the experience he gained from playing with Kagami and the Generation of Miracles helped him to lead his team. He worked on improving his physical strength and basketball skills, aiming to fulfill the promise he made to Kagami to become the best in Japan.
Kuroko’s influence extended beyond his own team as he continued to inspire and impact other players he encountered, spreading his love for basketball and his team-first philosophy. His journey through the rest of his high school years was marked by personal growth, deepening friendships, and an unwavering commitment to his sport. After graduation, it is implied that Kuroko would continue to pursue his passion for basketball, potentially at a collegiate level or in a professional setting, always carrying the lessons and memories he made with Kagami and the rest of the Seirin team.
