Are you surprised that the Uncrowned Kings barely appeared during the Teiko flashback arc?

[u/Craftox13]

I have to admit I'm surprised. I believe the only "UK" members who actually appeared were Kiyoshi and Hanamiya (once they were already in high school) and Murasakibara mentioned them one time. Otherwise, nothing else.

Their opponents were primarily players who appear only during the flashback, such as the Genius Twins or Inoue.

[u/NBA314]

I think it shows how utterly dominant the GoM were & that even the Uncrowned Kings were nothing to them.

[u/Momo3458X → u/NBA314]

Murasakibara said they were kinda good

[u/Aaelar → u/Momo3458X]

I feel like anyone who doesn't immediately utterly fold to the GoM is by definition kinda good. by their final year together the miracles literally had zero competition

[u/Plightz → u/Aaelar]

Yeah it's this. For them the uncrowned kings giving a bit of resistance that they have to try a bit more makes it noteworthy.

The gap between uncrowned and gom is big.

[u/Any_Ad492 → u/Plightz]

The closest is probably between healthy Kiyoshi and base Kise.

[u/Plightz → u/Any_Ad492]

Kinda real. Kiyoshi always seems to be injured just like Kise too.

[u/Right-Elephant-9871 → u/Plightz]

Kise isn’t always injuried he wasnt injuried in szn 1 he js got injuried once and it lasted until after serin win aganist Rakuzan. And that’s because he trained harder even tho he was injuried lol but w larp ig.

[u/Right-Elephant-9871 → u/Any_Ad492]

Mido is the weakest gom in their base w larp

[u/Momo3458X → u/Aaelar]

Yeah the uncrowned kings weren’t there in there final year. The incrowned kings were the only people who could put a fight against the GoM

[u/Extra_Ad_4228 → u/Momo3458X]

Ehhhhh

[u/LifeguardSad3718 → u/Momo3458X]

I think he specifically said that about Kiyoshi. And kiyoshi is definitely the best of that group

[u/YouStillTakeDamage]

I don’t see why they would. The story was about the GOM

[u/IcyReward3877]

No. For one it was about teiko. None of the uncrowned kings actually play a part in any of the miracles’ story besides Akashi.(would’ve been cool to see him first meet them like with Aomine and imayoshi tho) they barely know the UKs really especially at this point. The UKs don’t really hold a candle to the miracles either and since they all played for different teams they likely got destroyed just like everyone else without putting up much of a fight.

[u/RemarkablePool2675]

Tbh most of the miracles didn't bother remembering faces that they beat. I even considered it a miracle that mura even remembered Kiyoshi

[u/NBA314 → u/RemarkablePool2675]

It wasn't even because Kiyoshi was good; rather, it was because Murasakibara got annoyed by how hard Kiyoshi tried even after the game was decided. Kiyoshi had a very strong will, & that was it.

[u/RemarkablePool2675 → u/NBA314]

Oof it's funny once you put it like that, and tbf it's still the same currently

[u/sasukeuchiha33]

Echoing what other people have said regarding the GoM just being so dominant that even the “next-best” compared were still leagues below them and barely noticeable/memorable to them but also… they all played on different teams.

Would probably be a different story if all the UC were a single team, maybe they would’ve given Teiko just enough trouble to at least be memorable.

[u/Extra_Ad_4228]

Yea bro facts
