Slam Dunk, Chapter 248

The post Slam Dunk, Chapter 248 appeared first on Slam Dunk Manga Online.

Hanamichi Sakuragi (桜木花道 Sakuragi Hanamichi) is the main protagonist of the Slam Dunk series. He plays as a power forward (and occasionally as a backup center) for the Shohoku High School basketball team.

Sakuragi graduated from Wakou Middle School along with Yohei Mito, Chuichirou Noma, Yuji Ohkusu, and Nozomi Takamiya. The 5 of them are collectively known as Sakuragi Army.

The anime shows a flashback of Hanamichi’s father having a heartattack when Sakuragi arrives home after beating up 4 high school students. He immediately ran out to get help, but was stopped by the same 4 students who brought 4 more friends to fight him 8 versus 1. This delayed Sakuragi and did not allow him to get an ambulance in time for his father. This flashback was shown after Coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai had his heart attack, reminding Hanamichi of his past. As nothing was mentioned of his father after that, he is presumably dead.
