00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:18Today's topic is Star of the Giants.
00:20From a young age, Star of the Giants follows the protagonist as he undergoes intense, blood-sweating baseball training with his father, plays in the Koshien high school baseball tournament, and finally achieves his dream of joining the professional baseball team, the Yomiuri Giants, where he performs brilliantly with his magic ball.
00:40Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:43Star of the Giants was originally written by Ikki Kajiwara and aired for a total of 182 episodes between 1968 and 1971.
00:58The story begins on a snowy night with a father and son practicing pitching.
01:04After a while of rigorous training is shown, the screen changes to show the news that Nagashima Shigeo, a superstar in the Big Six University Baseball League, has decided to join the Yomiuri Giants, causing a huge uproar in the world. However, Hoshi Huma, the boy practicing baseball on that snowy night, is the only one who, despite being just a boy, has a cold view of the world.
01:25Huma has incredible baseball talent and ability, but for some reason he reveals his true colors as the enemy of Nagashima and the Giants, who are all pampered.
01:35Huma's attitude is due to the fact that his father, Ittetsu, had once been known as a master magician for the Giants, but had also used a magic ball that was dangerous to players, and it was also a form of rebellion against the fact that he was being forced to fulfill his father's dream of becoming the leader of the Giants.
01:56A few days later, during a press conference announcing Nagashima's joining the Giants, someone suddenly threw a ball at him.
02:08However, Nagashima showed no sign of surprise and didn't even bat an eyebrow, while Manager Kawakami, who received the throw, exclaimed in exasperation, and the throw, or rather the boy who threw the magic ball, was caught.
02:22Coach Kawakami then tries to confirm that the boy is the son of his former teammate and famous species, Hoshi Ittetsu, but Huma just runs away from the scene.
02:37However, Director Kawakami, determined to find out the truth, sneaks out of the press conference and chases after Huma, eventually tracking him down at his house.
02:48Meanwhile, Huma's father, Ittetsu, who had seen Huma's press conference on TV, was drinking and acting violently, and soon an argument between father and son began.
02:58As Coach Kawakami, who had been listening to the story, sheds tears at the Hoshi family's good fortune and what could be described as poverty, Huma throws a ball through a hole in the wall of the house, hitting it accurately against a tree outside and they begin playing catch.
03:15Coach Kawakami is surprised by this unusual sight, but he picks up a piece of wood nearby and hits the ball back.
03:25Ittetsu immediately reacted to the ball that was hit back and made a perfect catch, and then he and Huma went outside and spotted the man who had hit the ball, Manager Kawakami, walking away.
03:40A few years later, Hoshi Huma will be competing against many rivals in high school and professional baseball, thrilling the whole of Japan.
03:53Now, let me introduce the main characters.
03:57Hoshi Huma is the main character of this work. He lost his mother at an early age and lived in extreme poverty with his father, older sister, and Akiko in a tenement house.
04:10From an early age, he received a Spartan baseball education from his father, Ittetsu, and always wore a major league baseball invented by his father, and a muscle strengthening device called a fairy cast.
04:23His life revolved around baseball, including forcing himself to throw left with a balloon in order to become a southpaw pitcher.
04:30After enrolling in Nishigumo High School, a school with a weak baseball team, he competes in the Koshien tournament with his lifelong friend, Banchuta, but an unexpected incident causes the baseball club to disband, and he ends up dropping out of high school.
04:46After dropping out of school, he passed the Giants' entrance test and, as he had longed for, stepped onto the mound for the Giants, he used his godlike control to intentionally aim the ball at the batter's bat and send it flying, hitting the ball, Major League Ball No. 1.
05:03Major League Ball No. 2 is a ball that is thrown extremely low over home base, just above the ground, and disappears in the dust that is kicked up, striking out the batter.
05:14The super slow ball, pushed with the thumb and index finger, lost momentum near home base, and became a huge success along with Major League Ball No. 3, which allowed batters to strike out by avoiding the wind pressure from swinging the bat.
05:30Hoshi Ittetsu is Huma's father and baseball mentor.
05:38Although it was once a specialty of the Giants, it injured its shoulder during the war and attempted to revive itself using a magic sphere, but was unable to do so and entrusted the dream to its son, Huma.
05:50After Huma entered professional baseball, he himself became a coach for the Chunichi Dragons, and trained major league players Ozuma and Vantude, having them play against Huma.
06:02Hoshi Akiko is Huma's older sister, and supports the family with the kind nature she inherited from her late mother, but she is always at the mercy of her father and younger brother.
06:17Will she continue to watch over Huma even after he joins the Giants? Huma's rival Hanagata and his best friend Ban have feelings for her.
06:26Since meeting Huma, Ban Chuda has become his lifelong friend, regardless of Confucius.
06:36He took a test with the Giants together with Huma, and after joining the team, he played as a maintenance player catching Major League Baseball No. 1 and No. 2. However, at Ittetsu's strong request, he was traded to the Chunichi Dragons, where he faced off against Huma as a rival.
06:51Mitsuru Hanagata has been Huma's lifelong rival and best friend since they were on the Black Shadows elementary school baseball team.
07:03While he became the treasurer of the Hanagata zaibatsu, he also had a strong rivalry with Huma, and they repeatedly fought life-or-death battles at Koshien and in professional baseball.
07:13However, their intense rivalry also fostered strong bonds, and while keeping his promise to protect them, he helped Huma join the Giants by sending the blood-stained ball from Koshien directly to Manager Kawakami.
07:30In addition, after joining the Hanshin Tigers, there were repeated rival battles and he even broke the Major League Baseball No. 1 due to his life-risking training.
07:41Samon Housaku is a large slugger from Kumamoto Prefecture who lost to Huma's Nishigumo High School in the semi-finals of the Koshien tournament.
07:53After graduating, he joined the Taiyo Whales to support his younger brothers and sisters, but he always had the goal of defeating Hoshi Huma or playing in the major leagues.
08:05Also, the final episode of the original story depicts Samon and Kyoko's wedding.
08:12Armstrong Ozuma is a former player for the St. Louis Cardinals in the Major League Baseball. He faced off against Huma in the Japan-US baseball tournament, and countered Major League Ball No. 1 by letting go of the bat and causing it to drop.
08:30Later, at Ittetsu's request, he joined the Chunichi Dragons on a one-year contract, and by wearing a cast that could hit Major League balls, he perfected his invisible swing, but he was unable to achieve the results he had hoped for, and returned to the United States when his contract expired.
08:48After returning to the major leagues, he became a triple crown winner, but was loaned out to serve in the Vietnam War, where he died tragically due to injuries sustained during that time.
08:56George Hayami is a former Olympic candidate sprinter who attracted attention during the Giants' entrance exam. Although he was defeated by Huma's magic ball during the test, he joined the team as an alternate along with Ban.
09:13After turning professional, he became a Daiso specialist player, making use of his lightning speed, but it seems he never stepped up to bat.
09:20After learning that she had cancer, Hidaka Mina decided to dedicate the rest of her life to helping other patients. After graduating from high school and college, she worked at a clinic deep in the mountains of Miyazaki Prefecture, where she met Huma at the Giants' Miyazaki training camp.
09:37Later, he became Huma's first love, but his condition worsened and he passed away in Huma's presence.
09:44Narumi Tachiba is a member of a female idol group, and when she appears on a TV show with Hoshi Huma, Hanagata Mitsuru, and Samon Takasaku, she develops a liking for Huma and ends up almost forcibly dating him.
10:01However, he was a self-centered person and was known for his selfish behavior, which eventually angered Huma and led to their breakup.
10:10Kyoko is the leader of a group of delinquents and tries to force Summon Hosaku, but after being stopped by Huma, she ends up developing feelings for him.
10:23However, strangely enough, Samon, feeling pressured, made a fierce attack on Kyoko, and the relationship developed into a relationship and marriage.
10:31As an aside, this film was made with the cooperation of the Giants, and famous players who were on the team at the time, such as Kawakami Tetsuharu, Osadaharu, Nagashima Shigeo, Horiuchi Tsuneo, Kaneda Masaichi, Mori Masahiko, Shibata Isao, and Takada Shigeru, also appeared in the film under their real names.
10:52Furthermore, the up-and-coming manga artist Kawasaki Noboru was chosen to be in charge of the illustrations at the time, but he initially declined because he had many serializations in the works and had little knowledge of baseball. However, there is an anecdote that he eventually accepted the role after repeated requests from the fairies.
11:13Meanwhile, Toei, noticing the positive response to the manga version of Star of the Giants, considered broadcasting an anime program set around the Toei Flyers using affiliated companies Toei Animation and NET TV, but Yomiuri TV got the idea ahead of them and aired the program, resulting in the plan falling through.
11:35Amidst all this bargaining, the long-awaited anime version of Star of the Giants was finally broadcast, and while the content almost faithfully reproduced the composition and expression methods of the manga, it also incorporated a wealth of unique expressions that are unique to the anime version.
11:54On the other hand, it has become clear that some of the language used in the broadcast is no longer in line with the times, such as the expression "horrible pregnant woman," which was not problematic at the time but later became problematic as a discriminatory term.
12:08Regarding the final episode, in the original work, the story ends with Huma watching Samon and Kyoko's wedding from outside the window and then leaving, but in the anime version, it was planned that Huma would die on the mound after pitching a perfect game.
12:28However, due to the film's dark and depressing content, there was strong opposition from those involved and sponsors, and the plan was scrapped.
12:38In addition, in the final episode of the anime, after the end mark, the main characters gave speeches of thanks, and a scene from the original Genius Bakabon was shown, showing Bakabon's father and Huma shaking hands.
12:55Now, it's finally the final episode.
12:58The final episode will be a sequel to the previous episode.
13:01Huma continues to win games after games thanks to his magic pitch, Major League Ball No. 3, but in fact, his doctor has told him that he is in danger of losing his left arm, meaning that he is on call and has been told to stop playing.
13:15Around that time, at the Chunichi Dragons, coach Hoshi Hitoshi discovers through video footage that the secret of the Major League Ball No. 3 lies in the way it is pitched.
13:27Furthermore, when he tried pitching using this method himself, he discovered that it could potentially end his career as a player.
13:36Meanwhile, Huma, who begged manager Kawakami to let him pitch in the game against Chunichi, led the Giants to a one-point lead in the first inning, and while striking out batter after batter at the pace of a perfect game, Chunichi, under the direction of coach Hoshi Hitoshi, decided to have Huma show off his skills by using bunting, while also aiming for infield hits.
13:58In response to this strategy, Huma asked manager Kawakami to implement an extreme bunt shift, forcing the outfielders to play infield.
14:10With his bunting strategy thwarted, Ittetsu takes another step and orders Banchuta to do a handstand, telling him to prepare for his challenge against Huma as the final batter in the ninth inning.
14:21In the midst of all this, Huma racked up a mountain of strikeouts using the Major League Ball No. 3, steadily moving towards a perfect game.
14:32Then, in the bottom of the seventh inning, a solo home run by Dai put the Giants within two points, but in the Chunichi bench, Ban collapses from exhaustion from doing handstands, and Ittetsu instructs the players to swing several bats.
14:47As the game progresses and the stadium nears completion, Hanagata and Akiko arrive. Hanagata watches Ban's batting practice and tells Akiko in anguish that Ban will become his final blind spot, and that this will also be the final chapter of Huma's downfall.
15:04Another rival, Samon, was watching the game on TV when he received a letter from Huma, informing him that Major League Ball No. 3's birthday was the day he lost his left arm due to the Major League Ball No. 3, ending his career as a pitcher.
15:22It also contained requests regarding the marriage between Ban and his sister, Akiko.
15:29After reading the letter, Samon rushes to the stadium to stop Huma before he loses his left arm.
15:37In this situation, the game finally reached the final inning for Chunichi, with two batters easily defeated and only one batter left to achieve a perfect game.
15:51Then, the Chunichi bench announced that it was time for a pinch hitter, Ban, and Ban staggered into the batter's box.
15:59Meanwhile, Huma's left arm has also lost feeling in his hand and is reaching its limit, and he continues to pitch without knowing when he will be unable to pitch any more.However, he somehow manages to get to a full count of 2 strikes and 3 balls, including a foul ball that could have been hit.
16:15With one head held high and the crowd watching, Huma put all his strength into throwing the fateful final ball, and was hit with an excruciating pain in his left arm, but the ball he had thrown slowly made its way towards the batter's baton.
16:32He ran desperately to hit the ball with his bat, and the ball went straight through the gap between left field and center field, putting an end to the chances of a perfect game.
16:43However, after hitting the ball, Van stumbled and collapsed after taking just a few steps from the batter's box.
16:52Surprised, Ittetsu gets up quickly and shouts at Ban to head to first base, while Gaiash catches up to the ball and relays it to first base.
17:03Bang also headed to first base in a daze, resulting in a cross play, but was out by just a hair's breadth.
17:13At this moment, Huma achieved a perfect game, and as the crowd poured into the stadium to celebrate, Huma collapsed on the mound due to severe pain in his left arm.
17:25A doctor is called and, while he is being examined, Ittetsu rushes over and hands Huma the pitch that marked the perfect game. The program ends with Ittetsu carrying Huma on his back and quietly leaving the stadium to thunderous applause from the players and spectators.
17:44Now, let's take a look at some commercials related to Star of the Giants.
