Slam Dunk Watch Order
10 entries · · community-maintained
The Slam Dunk watch order splits the 101-episode TV series into five blocks and places the four 1990s films where they happen in Shohoku's story. Start with Episodes 1-20, then the first film, then Episodes 21-35. National Domination! Sakuragi Hanamichi comes before Episode 36, because it plays out the Tsukubu game that the episode only sums up. Episodes 36-60 end with the loss to Kainan, and Shohoku Maximum Crisis! picks up right after it. Episodes 61-62 lead into Roar!! Basket Man Spirit, and Episodes 63-101 finish the series. THE FIRST SLAM DUNK (2022) retells the Sannoh match from the end of the manga, so it comes last. The 1990s films are side stories and are optional.
