** During this match, Sakuragi earns the ire of Coach Taoka. First he unsubtly spies on Ryonan during their timeout. He then sticks his fingers up Taoka's butt. During the Shoyo game, Taoka's memory of this makes him squirm and Hikoichi thinks he needs to go to the bathroom. Finally, Sakuragi crashed into Taoka while he was trying to catch a ball.

** Another hilarious MoodWhiplash happens during the fight itself. Sakuragi starts punching the lights out of Tetsuo, who punched almost everyone there. [[AndThisIsFor He dedicates a furious punch for every one of his hurt teammates]], but when it's his turn to "avenge" Rukawa, his main rival, he only gives a little pinch, to follow up with a punch for one of the bench. Naturally, Rukawa is not very amused.



* During a game, when Shohoku had a free shot against them Sakuragi reacted by ''cursing the shooter with bad luck'' in the most ridiculous manner imaginable. What's more, ''it worked'': the shot came embarrassingly short, with the shooter wondering what he had just done even before the ball missed.

What's more, ''it worked'': the shot came embarrassingly short, with the shooter Uozumi wondering what he had just done even before the ball missed.

* In the Shohoku vs Sannoh match, at one point Miyagi sees that everyone else is marked, so he tries to score himself. Sawakita jumps and blocks his shot, only for the ball to hit Sakuragi in the face, bounce off and go into the basket, making everyone have a collective JawDrop. Sakuragi, as expected, tries to pretend that [[IMeantToDoThat he did his "face shot" on purpose]], and Miyagi decides to play along saying that he expected Sawakita's block.

* During the Mitsui arc, in what would be a MoodWhiplash of the serious tone, Kogure recalled that Akagi wasn't born a star player, back in the freshman days, he actually ''sucked'' (at free throws, but the manga adds up that he's not a very good dribbler either) except at dunking, to the surprise of both Sakuragi and Rukawa. Akagi scolds Kogure by holding him on the collar and telling him to stop being overdetailed the first time. In the manga, the second time Kogure slipped up, Akagi let it be. In the anime, Akagi got so pissed he ''transformed into Franchise/KingKong climbing a skyscrapper and swinging Kogure at hand while scolding him''.

** Moreover, there's the fact on how each one thinks ''the other'' is the unluckier of the two. Their inner monologues are pretty much "At least I have Haruko/Ayako".

* During the Shohoku vs Toyotama match, Mitsui's friends came along to cheer him on, but chose the wrong seats and ended up surrounded by Toyotama fans. They're forced to make a run for it once they realize their mistake, and by the time they meet up with Sakuragi's gang, they look like they ''barely'' escaped with their lives from the angry mob.

** The whole study night at Akagi's home is full of this. From Sakuragi getting angry at not being able to study with Haruko, Rukawa falling asleep and getting on Akagi's nerves; Miyagi getting focused only thanks to Ayako; and Mitsui calling home to tell he's studying and [[MyBelovedSmother his mom]] [[CassandraTruth apparently doesn't believe him]].



** Sendoh offers Rukawa a handshake, [[SoreLoser but Rukawa refuses]]. He then goes to Sakuragi, a handshake, who grudgingly accepts it. Later we see [[CrushingHandshake Sendoh's hand all red and swollen]], to Hikoichi's horror and Sendoh's annoyance.

* After the Shohoku vs Ryonan practice match, we see some handshakes between the team members:
** Akagi shakes hands with Uozumi, who tells him he's gonna win in the preliminaries. The two briefly turn into monkeys as they groan at one another challengingly.
** Sendoh offers Rukawa a handshake, [[SoreLoser but Rukawa refuses]]. He then goes to Sakuragi, a handshake, who grudgingly accepts it. Later we see [[CrushingHandshake Sendoh's hand all red and swollen]], to Hikoichi's horror and Sendoh's annoyance.

** Then the crowner: Maki defends himself [[NotSoAboveItAll by saying that Akagi looks older than him]], to everyone's shock. Sakuragi agrees, much to Akagi's chagrin, and Jin mentally wonders "Is he that worried about his appearance?"

* MoodWhiplash at its best: after the regionals, Sakuragi takes Haruko to a summer festival, and at one point while they're resting, he tries to confess to her. But a mosquito flies near his face and when she swats it, accidentally slaps him. The poor guy thinks she's rejecting him and runs off crying.

* During the Shohoku vs. Kainan match, when Sakuragi is marked by Maki. The whole scene is a string of one hilarity after another:
** First, Sakuragi takes a look at Maki's face, and asks if he's a high school student. Kiyota takes offense:

* The moments in chapter 20 when Sakuragi kept throwing balls at Rukawa as he tried to go up for a lay up hilarious, especially when he kept saying "It slipped". Double so when Rukawa threw a ball back at him, citing the same excuse. This of course lead to Sakuragi dumping the whole box of balls at him, saying "His whole body slipped". Bonus points for the ball's basket get thrown onto Akagi's head, making him look like a literal ''caged gorilla''. Even better when Sakuragi openly says so, and then Akagi gets so pissed he beats up ''both'' Sakuragi and Rukawa. It's also a CallBack moment when Sawatika goes for an impressive dunk to "introduce" himself during the pre-match practice session, only for his attempt to be interrupted by [[TheCaptain Akagi]] and [[TheStoic Rukawa,]] who ''both'' threw balls at him and said "Oops."
