First year Ban Nobutaka brings a club application form saying he wants to join the kabaddi team. Ban is a bit of an odd one who wears his hair in a pompadour, has a mean look to his eyes, and in spite of all that, has a tiny, quiet voice. He arrives at the gym with two fellow first years, Seki Ryuta and Hitomi Yuki, who say he invited them to come along. The truth is, this man called Ban has met Yoigoshi back in second grade. It all happened one very hot day...
I know that watching strong 
people leads to strength.
Ich weiß, dass man stärker wird,
wenn man von den Starken lernt.
Sé que observar a alguien fuerte
te hace fuerte a ti también.
Sé que observar a alguien fuerte
te hace fuerte a ti también.
Je sais qu’on devient fort
en observant des gens doués.
Osservare persone forti 
ti porta a diventare forte a tua volta.
Eu sei que observar pessoas 
fortes te leva a ser mais forte.
Я знаю, что силу можно получить, 
наблюдая за сильными.
