After his tragic death, Kobe Bryant, the basketball legend known for his relentless work ethic and unyielding Mamba Mentality, wakes up in a body that isn’t his own. He finds himself in a world that feels familiar yet different: Japan, within the universe of “Kuroko no Basuke”, inhabiting the body of none other than Tetsuya Kuroko.
However, something has changed. This new Kuroko doesn’t just have the ability to go unnoticed on the court; he now possesses the killer instinct of a true competitor—the Mamba Mentality. With his memories and passion for basketball intact, Kobe decides he won’t be anyone’s shadow. His goal: to dominate Japanese basketball, inspire a new generation, and face the Generation of Miracles head-on—not as the sixth man, but as the number one player.
This isn’t the Kuroko you knew.
This is Kuroko Bryant.
And he’s here to change the game.
