Slam Dunk – Creator comments on a possible sequel to his film

While The First Slam Dunk continues to have a strong presence in Japanese cinemas, Inoue participated in an interview with Cinema Today to talk about some topics about his film. Thus, he took advantage of the hook to address the possibility of a sequel to the film, but without confirming anything.
“If I said there will be [a sequel] or I said there won't be, wouldn't that statement limit me? Like if I said there will be one, and there isn't, that would be bad. And if I said there wouldn't be one, even if I felt like drawing one, I wouldn't be able to. So I’m not going to say anything now.”
Synopsis:
Slam Dunk tells the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a high school student and delinquent in love with the delicate Haruko Akagi, who introduces him to the world of basketball. Thus, the clumsy character begins to get involved in sport with the intention of being part of his school's basketball team just to attract Haruko's attention. However, Sakuragi awakens a genuine passion for basketball when he feels the adrenaline of the game. Alongside his captain Takenori Akagi, his rival Rukawa Kaede and the rest of the team, he plays to win the intercollegiate.
Takehiko Inoue then published his iconic sports manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1990 to 1996 with a total of 31 volumes. The manga inspired an anime in 1993, and received four sequels in animated film format.
