i know that as fans, people would always want stories they like to continue on forever. it’s just the way people are. but i don’t think it was necessarily required here. slam dunk isn’t hanamichi’s entire basketball journey – it’s just his journey from playing basketball because someone he loved wanted him to, to playing basketball because he himself loved it.
isn’t it okay to conclude a story once that point has been reached? a story cannot go on forever. ending it whenever is what a creator is always allowed.
