00:20The original Samurai Giants story was published in the 1970s, the height of sports comics popularity, with the intention of it being made into an anime.
00:33What makes it different from other sports anime is that an exclusive contract was signed with the Yomiuri Giants at the time during the planning stage.
00:42What was great about the series was that it featured many real-life baseball players, including Shigeo Nagashima and Sadaharu Otoshi.
00:49Also, during the unprecedented baseball boom, the anime was popular not only among Giants fans, but also among fans of multiple teams.
00:59So let's take a look at this piece right away.
01:03The original story of Samurai Giants was written by Kajiwara Ikki, who was a leading figure in the sports boom, including Star of the Giants.
01:13It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1971 to 1974.
01:19The anime series aired for a total of 48 episodes from 1973 to 1974.
01:30The story is about Manager Kawakami, who leads the seemingly invincible Giants team.
01:35Feeling something was missing, he began by searching for the talent the Giants needed.
01:42Then, pitcher Yawata, a not-so-impressive rookie, said,
01:47We are introduced to Bambaban, a junior who doesn't fit in at all.
01:52Kawakami, who was interested in Yawata's story, went to see Bambaban himself,
01:58I was surprised at the unexpected intersection.
02:01However, he also sees the hidden talent in this unconventional crossover and provokes Bambaban.
02:07And while it was a murderous act that sent the victim to the hospital,
02:14He threw down a challenge as a samurai to Manager Kawakami and the Giants, and joined the team.
02:22After joining the Giants, he teamed up with his senior, Yahata, who had switched to conservative politics.
02:29Create various magic balls and defeat your rivals.
02:32Now, let me introduce you to the main character, Bambaban.
02:40Bambaban was born on campus in Tosa into a fishing family.
02:45When he was six years old, his father was killed by a whale.
02:49They are particularly repulsed by big, arrogant people.
02:53Before joining the Giants, he was a pitcher at his local high school, Tosa Arashi.
03:01Even my opponents got tired of me.
03:04His shots were fast, but he was a very solid pitcher.
03:08His personality is bright and cheerful,
03:11He is short-tempered, quick to fight, and acts on his emotions.
03:16When I first joined the team, I couldn't fit in with the people around me,
03:21As they grow, they will become more aware of their role as members of the Giants.
03:28With painstaking efforts, the thickening was cured,
03:31Normal pitching alone will no longer be effective against top-class batters.
03:36There, he creates a variety of magic balls to strike out the strongest batters.
03:46The magic ball that Bambaban creates is,
03:48On the mound, he jumps high into the air and throws the ball down at the highest point.
03:53High jump magic ball.
03:55After a high jump from the mound,
03:57Furthermore, twist your body and throw,
04:00Shrimp throw high jump magic ball.
04:02On the mound, while rotating his body,
04:05A super-spinning magic ball thrown at the highest rotation speed.
04:10A magic ball created by squeezing the ball and throwing it, causing it to curve irregularly.
04:16And there's the Miracle Ball, which combines all the magic ball forms.
04:23These are Bambaban's rivals,
04:26First of all, fellow elite athletes from my hometown,
04:30And he plays shortstop for Yakult.
04:32There is the beautiful Mayuzuki Hikaru.

04:39This is Mr. Onzo,
04:40Risking your life, and
04:42Through bloody training,
04:44High jump magic ball,
04:46He is smashing the big spin magic ball.
04:49Also,
04:50What is Mayuzuki Hikaru?
04:51Being from the same hometown,
04:53Initially,
04:54There is also a sense of rivalry,
04:56Although conflicting,
04:57Finally,
04:58Friendships blossom.
04:59Also,
05:01Former Major League Baseball player,
05:03and,

05:20He was also a talented athlete.
05:22In addition,
05:24From Bang Bang,
05:25It is called a whale,
05:26There's Mitsusaku Ohno.
05:29Forged by lumberjacks,
05:30With a strong body,
05:32Hitting home runs out of the park one after another,
05:35He is also an exceptionally powerful hitter,
05:37always,
05:38He becomes a torment for Bambaban.

06:11The first confrontation is
06:13It becomes a vertical split,
06:15He strikes him out with a magic ball,
06:16In the next match,
06:18Surprisingly,
06:20By swinging the bat vertically,
06:22This magic ball,
06:23It breaks easily.
06:26Bambaban was hit with the final magic ball.
06:28I was shocked.
06:29The final match against Athletic
06:31In other words,
06:32In the world championship match,

06:47still,
06:48Bambaban is unsure whether to play in the match,
06:51To Rika, who has a crush on her,
06:53They put in the cutlet,
06:54Finally,
06:55I'll be on the mound.

07:07I'll throw it all away,
07:08Almost,
07:09It seems like a home run,
07:11It was a series of big fouls.
07:15By throwing all the magic balls,
07:18On the body,
07:18It was a considerable burden,
07:20You will be forced into a situation where you have no choice.
07:23Also,

07:31I'm watching the scene.
07:33Bambaban, who threw all the magic balls,
07:36There are no more balls to throw,
07:37I thought it was a Banjicus.
07:40but,
07:41Bang Bang is
07:42As I thought of it,
07:43He comes up with one last magic pitch.
07:47and,
07:48When you get into pitching form,
07:50From the stance of the Bunshin Magic Ball,
07:52High jump,
07:53In the air,
07:54While rotating greatly,
07:56Throw a magic ball.
07:57Seeing that sight,
07:59Jax, who hit hard,

08:05Spin the bat,
08:07It will be struck out.
08:08but,
08:10After pitching,
08:11Bambaban was lying on the mound.
08:13Without getting up,
08:15It doesn't move at all.
08:17Prepare for the worst case scenario,
08:19Eighty thousand people rushed forward,
08:21Bambabamban was alive.
08:23and,
08:25From the giant who became the world's best,

11:08What did you think?
11:15I remember waiting anxiously for the next God-Devil Ball every time one was broken.
11:22However, among all the magic balls, the only one that I thought was impossible at the time was the double magic ball.
11:29It is impossible for a human to crush a ball of light with their grip strength.
11:35Even if you squeeze it as much as you can, the ball of light will not return to its original state.
11:41Also, is Minami Rika in the play the same person?
11:47Her personality and appearance were so similar to Mine Fujiko's that I thought
