Heh, my time to shine. (Do keep in mind that my KnB hyperfix ended late last year so I might misremember certain things as it’s been a while since I rewatched KnB. I won’t be rambling about the stuff in anime ops or eds since I can’t really remember those but I will ramble about things related to them)
ZERO by Ono Kensho is the sixth opening of the anime Kuroko no Basuke, being the opening of the two or so Teiko Arc episodes in season three (Similar to Ao no Sumika being the JJK season two opening on the three Hidden Inventory Arc episodes), it’s the first KnB opening not performed by GRANRODEO
It’s said that ZERO and Ambivalence (The ed of the Teiko Arc) are meant to represent Kuroko and Ogiwara’s friendship during their elementary and middle school days and that Ambivalence is defined as "the state of having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone"
Kuroko is the main character of KnB (Which is probably obvious by the name), he’s voiced by Ono Kensho, the singer of ZERO, and Ogiwara (Kuroko’s friend he used to play basketball with in 5th grade) is voiced by Yu Hayashi, the singer of Ambivalence
I love KnB man, when I found out that ZERO was by Ono Kensho I freaked out because the op is played over moments of the Generation of Miracles (Teiko’s and maybe even Japan’s best basketball players ((In universe)) playing together and it just hits hard when you know what happened to them, I miss you GoM. THE LYRICS OF ZERO AND AMBIVALENCE I’M GOING TO CRY KnB still makes me ill even a year later and I still feel like Kuroko even a year later, permashift curse be upon ya
And that’s the end of another of my rambles thanks
