Player: Monica Character: Seijuro Akashi Current Canon Point: Post-series, before Extra/Last Game Updated Canon Point: Post-Last Game. Last Game, specifically, since the movie has an additional story to it compared to Extra Game.
Updated Background: Akashi still hasn't seen a therapist because therapists don't exist in the world of Kuroko's Basketball.
Between the events of the main series and the movie, Akashi and the rest of the characters move up a year. The Winter Cup has passed, and the summer vacation before Akashi becomes a senior high school student. Rakuzan won in the Winter Cup, and presumably the Inter-High.
During the break, a street basketballteam from America called the Jabberwock play against a team of freshmen in college called STRKY. The members of Team STRKY happen to be the former teammates of Kise, Midorima, Aomine, Murasakibara, and Akashi. At first, the Jabberwock seem to be intimidated by STRKY's play, but soon reveal their true nature as players who taunt and pick on their opponents. STRKY was crushed in the end, and Jabberwock told everyone who played basketball in Japan that they were monkeys and should just kill themselves.
Kagetora Aida challenges Jabberwock to another game, insulted by everything he heard. That's how the team Vorpal Swords was born. Akashi meets his former teammates (the Generation of Miracles), as well as Kuroko, Kagami, and some other people, and is appointed captain of the new team.
A few days before the match, the true Akashi (Oreshi, since he uses the pronoun "ore" to refer to himself) informs his teammates that his other self (Bokushi, uses "boku") may have to make an appearance. I'm only using Oreshi and Bokushi in this explanation so things are less confusing and repetitive. These aren't canonical terms. MOVING ON...
At some point during the game when Vorpal Swords is at a disadvantage, Oreshi speaks with Bokushi in his head (THIS SERIES IS ABOUT BASKETBALL, I SWEAR) and asks for his help. Bokushi takes over and uses his Emperor Eye to assist Vorpal Swords to score more points. Eventually, Bokushi realises that even with his Emperor Eye, he can't beat Jabberwock's Nash's Belial Eye. He and Oreshi have another conversation saying he's realised that it's not that his Emperor Eye is weaker than Belial Eye, just that it's incomplete. Bokushi forces himself to disappear completely so Oreshi himself can be whole again and claims that he was never meant to be born anyway.
In the end, Vorpal Swords win and Kagami and Kuroko tell their teammates (while the Generation of Miracles eavesdropped) that Kagami was leaving for the US so he can get into a school that will help him get into the NBA.
Updated Personality: Not much change in personality! Oreshi's gotten used to being himself again, and presumably, he's gotten better at socialising with his current teammates and former teammates. He doesn't have any enemies anymore apart from Jabberwock, so he's a lot milder. He'll definitely be a little meek and quiet at first upon getting back, since Bokushi going away means that Oreshi's alone, in a manner of speaking. Oreshi didn't seem to want Bokushi to go, and there's some feelings in him after being told by Bokushi that he wasn't meant to exist in the first place.
Updated Abilities: An improved Emperor Eye. Oreshi will be able to use the full extent of the Emperor Eye without needing to access his other self. In the series, this grants him the ability to see the future, but it's just a glorified way of saying that Akashi is very, very perceptive and he's gotten even better.
Other: Prior to being updated, his left eye's been clouded by self-loathing, sadness, and distrust, but that will disappear once he gets back. Hoping to have him gone from March 2nd until the 5th!
