* Kuroko gets a couple at the halftime of the match against Kirisaki Daiichi. [[HotBlooded Kagami]] is ranting about all the dirty plays the enemy team is going for, and happens to glance over at Kuroko as he's doing so...and the sheer TranquilFury on Kuroko's face ''shuts him up immediately.'' At the same time, Hanamiya crosses paths with Aomine, who tells him that he's going to lose to Seiren. When Hanamiya asks why he thinks that, Aomine says he has no idea how, but he knows it's going to happen, because [[BewareTheNiceOnes Hanamiya pissed Kuroko off.]]

* Kagami uses a skill that even Murasakibara (in the Zone!) can't stop-- METEOR. JAM. The Meteor Jam... based on one of Blake Griffin's flashier dunks that's also been done by the likes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0GYmWHmWxA Dwight Howard]]... is done by jumping at a higher trajectory above the rim of the basket and throwing the ball into it like a falling meteor. So it's like a mix between a shot and a dunk.

* In the match against Rakuzan, Kuroko defeats Akashi's Emperor Eye. While the latter is IN THE ZONE. During Rakuzan's counterattack, Kuroko and Kagami double team Akashi who is headed for the basket. Akashi passes Kagami easily using his Emperor Eye, however, he notices that Kuroko is moving faster than himself. It was revealed that Kuroko had awakened his own Emperor Eye which can only predict the movements of his teammates. This allows him to steal the ball from an "In the Zone" Akashi.

* Izuki literally taking a level in badass in the Rakuzan match allowing him to ''stop one of the Uncrowned Generals''. While he's no superstar player himself and he mostly functions as a role player in his team, Izuki was able to stop Hayama's four-finger dribbling, which even Kagami or Miyaji (against three fingers) couldn't have done. Though failing to stop the five-finger dribbling all by himself, he successfully lured Hayama into Kagami's large sphere of defense with Kuroko's help because he knew that he wouldn't be able to match his speed. His intelligence led Hayama to label him as a top-tier player. His ability to think ahead was also a key factor in Seirin managing to cut the deficit against Rakuzan to 1 because of his correct prediction that led him to steal the ball.

* Aomine's entire playstyle could count, especially considering all the [[RuleOfCool cool]] moves in it. Aomine incorporates Iverson-like street ball with all their unorthodox shots mixed with [=LeBron=]-like physicality and Kobe-like skillfulness, thus making him a total package like a Japanese Michael Jordan.

Aomine. Actually, the climax of the Kaijou vs. Touou match is a huge one, especially the clashes between Kise, with his Perfect Copy, and Aomine, who is playing seriously for once. Kise had a great deal of respect for Aomine because up until he joined Teikou's basketball club, he felt quite bored of other sports due to him easily mastering them all. By letting go of that respect and treating Aomine like an enemy, he ended up forcing his former teammate to practically go against a shadow or mirror image of himself up until the final stanza of the game, with Kise doing an uncharacteristic team play in that last minute that Aomine countered.

Seirin finding their HeroicSecondWind in the second match against Touou.
%%*
Touou. This came about in two parts. First, a new-and-improved Kagami was able to push Aomine by blocking his Formless Shot. Second, Captain Hyuga was sinking threes more often thanks to his Barrier Jumper (a stepback jumpshot). There's also Seirin's team work finally gelling enough to drive their score up.
*
Aomine finally, finally giving 100% to the game and entering the [[LimitBreak Zone.]]]] Up until that point, Aomine was only using a fraction of his abilities because he was usually above and beyond the abilities of his fellow high school players, like an NBA player playing against high school boys. Seirin pushed Touou enough to the brink to make Aomine end up in a flow-state like when Jordan, Kobe, or Bird had a "hot hand" and every shot didn't miss.

''disappear''. In realistic terms, Himuro is able to do amazing fakes and feints that fool opponents into blocking a shot that wasn't there, with him shooting at the last minute. This gives them the impression that they're swatting at ghost shots or ghost balls.

Hammer. It's basically a two-handed dunk combined with a mid-air spin. In the world of ''Kuroko's Basketball'', it's as unstoppable as one of Shaquille O'Neal's offensive dunk sets.

** Rakuzan covers Kagami, so Izuki passes to Hyuuga, and their bond lets him catch the pass perfectly enough that Mibuchi instinctively reacts. Hyuuga then ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard uses Earth Shot against Mibuchi himself]]'', cutting the deficit down to 1 with a free throw left.
** Seirin can't last in overtime, so Hyuuga intentionally flubs a free throw and Kiyoshi gives everything to get it, despite the fact that his knee's about to give.
** Rakuzan's covering everybody, and there's no time left. Kuroko uses misdirection to slip his mark and get the ball, preparing to shoot for the first time in the entire match.
** Akashi reads the play and jumps to block the shot. Kuroko shoots anyway, bypassing Akashi in time for Kagami to come soaring through the air and slams in a buzzer beater.
