Conquer the Nation, Hanamichi Sakuragi! (movie, 1994)
It is set during the Grand Interchampionship, before Shōhoku plays Shoyo, Shōhoku must play Tsukubu, one of the darker teams this year. It’s a shock. The Anzai team will face their former student, who is now Tsukubu’s coach, while Akagi and Kogure will play Godai, their former teammate and Tsukubu’s captain.
Finally, Hanamichi Sakuragi is annoyed by the presence of Nango, Tsukubu’s center, who competes for Haruko’s attention. During the match Tsukubu starts winning and scoring easily. Hanamichi is on the bench, but he goes out to play, and when he does, after several scoldings and advice, he begins to take rebounds, which allows him to change the mood of his team in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, Shohoku ends up turning the game around and winning the game. The game highlights two things Hanamichi accomplished before his expulsion, the ejection of the captain and three-point shooter for an intentional hit that hit him on one of his rebounds, and the fact of matching the rebounding record for a high school player, which is 22 in a single game, but when he is going to break it, in the jump he commits his fifth foul and is expelled, but the ovation he receives for his rebounding performance is impressive.

Shohoku’s Greatest Challenge! (movie, 1995)
After titanically losing the match against Kainan, the Shōhoku team and a freshly shaven Hanamichi Sakuragi are challenged to an exhibition match by virtual Ryoukufu basketball strangers. Coach Anzai sees this as an opportunity for Shōhoku to regain his confidence. But, Ryoukufu reveals a new high-caliber championship lineup, a player who practiced in the United States, and it may be one of the biggest tests for Sakuragi and the team so far.
The match is very difficult for Shohoku, because they keep thinking about defeat, but Kogure is in charge of cheering them up a bit, so much so that he falls and suffers a slight concussion.
When Akagi enters, the pace of the match changes completely, and at the last moment, Hanamichi makes a big block and then passes it to Akagi, who scores. Hanamichi makes a feint, but when he nails it, the match was over and it doesn’t count. When they leave, you can see how they regain confidence with a view to their next game.
Howling Basketman Spirit!! (movie, 1995)
Ichiro Mizusawa, a player from Rukawa’s old high school Tomigaoka, is diagnosed with a crippling leg disease and wants to play one last match with Rukawa. Hanamichi, while her sister tells Haruko about what happened, asks her brother for a match to make his dream come true, but he refuses, and she tells Rukawa he doesn’t show any interest in that.
Hanamichi, when he finds out, intends to help the boy and fulfill his wish. One morning, while they practice, Akagi is at the doctor’s. While checking his injury, the doctor tells him that, little by little, he is improving and that it is not so serious. He remembers Ichiro’s case and asks Professor Anzai to approve of the match, which he does.
When the match is about to start, Rukawa does not want to play nor is interested in being by Ichiro’s side, which causes discomfort, especially in Hanamichi, who throughout the match encourages and helps Ichiro, and in the second half play, when Ichiro falls with that leg, Hanamichi hits him on the head so that he forgets his pain, and Rukawa tells him not to stop fighting until the end.
In a play in which Hanamichi knocks down Rukawa without a foul, he passes it to Ichiro and he scores, and in the end thanks to a dive from Hanamichi, despite the efforts of Akagi and Rukawa, he ends up tying the match. In the end, Ayako proposes Ichiro become a coach with her.
