None of us will deny that we all got jealous when we saw Kuroko meet Momoi. We are sure most of us feel like what are we even doing with our lives. Kuroko is an introvert, yet he got the girl without even trying hard. And most of us otakus are also introverts, yet here we are, getting jealous of a fictional character. One of the first questions that must have come to our minds, just like Kuroko’s teammates, is, “How did Kuroko manage to do that?”. What must have been the story behind it, that Momoi is head over heels for Kuroko? How did Kuroko meet Momoi? Kuroko is living our dreams out there, and he does not even realize that we exist. Wait, Kuroko is not even real, yet he’s living our dreams. What could be sadder than this? Yet, we are happy for you, Kuroko.
But, still, we can’t get over it without knowing how did Kuroko meet Momoi. More importantly, when did Kuroko meet Momoi? There are a whole lot of questions that we need answers to. So, without any further delay, let’s find out when and how did Kuroko meet Momoi.
Who Is Tetsuya Kuroko?
The Phantom Sixth Player of the Generation of Miracles and the main protagonist of Kuroko no Basuke/Kuroko’s Basketball is Tetsuya Kuroko. Well, the name of the anime already gave away a hint, didn’t it? Generation of Miracles was the basketball team of Teiko Junior High, where Kuroko was the sixth player. He was not like the regular players. Every player aims to score, whereas Kuroko aimed to help them score. His specialty in basketball was misdirection and passes. When he was in Teiko Junior High, he played as the Aomine Daiki’s Shadow. But, soon, he realized that team was filled with players who played for themselves instead of for the team. Even though Kuroko is not good at talking, he believed in team play, which was not in Generation of Miracles.
Even though Generation of Miracles always won, the wins never felt like winning to Kuroko. He found what was lacking in Teiko Junior High in Seirin High. And now, he plays as Taiga Kagami’s shadow. People think their presence is what matters. But, during games, no one can sense Kuroko’s presence. And that’s what helps the team to win.
Who Is Satsuki Momoi?
Satsuki Momoi used to be the basketball team manager of the Generation of Miracles at Teiko Junior High. And, now she is the manager of Touou Academy. But, we look at her as Kuroko’s girlfriend first. Her nature is the complete opposite of Kuroko’s, yet she vibes the most with him. Even though it’s a sports anime, and they didn’t get more screen time together, it feels like they are made for each other. Kuroko silently listens when Momoi talks. And Momoi talks to fill Kuroko’s silence.
Momoi may be a very frank person, but you’ll see her sly and observing nature when it comes to her job as the basketball manager. She’s good at gathering information for her team. She is like a player who does not play on the court. She plays from outside the court by getting all the information her team needs.
How Did Kuroko Meet Momoi And Make Her Fall For Him?
During the time of Teiko Junior High, when Kuroko was the Phantom Sixth Player of the Generation of Miracles and Momoi was the manager of the same team, they met. Kuroko and Momoi didn’t know each other from the beginning. Momoi was the childhood friend of Aomine Daiki, and recently Kuroko became friends with Aomine as they were on the same team. But, one evening, when Momoi felt like having an ice cream after watching some students eating it, Kuroko came to her and handed her the ice cream stick of the ice cream he had just finished. At first, Momoi was infuriated as she just got trash handed to her. But, when she turned the stick around, it was written “Winner”. And she instantly fell in love with Kuroko. She found that trash was more important than any treasure in the world.
Ever since that day, Momoi has considered herself Kuroko’s girlfriend. And that’s how Kuroko met Momoi.
