Synopsis[]
The United States street basketball team named Jabberwock (ジャバウォック Jabauokku) came to Japan and played a friendly match with the Japanese team (Strky (スターキー Sutākī)), but after the Japanese team suffered a crushing defeat, Jabberwock team members began to mock the Japanese basketball. Their comments infuriated Riko's father, so he assembled a team of five Generation of Miracles members plus Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami, called Vorpal Swords (ヴォルパル・ソード Vu~oruparu sōdo), to perform a Revenge match (リベンジ • マッチ Ribenji matchi) against Jabberwock.
