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...
"A man doesn't change through appearance, 
but through what's inside."
"Los hombres cambian
por dentro, no por fuera".
"Los hombres cambian
por dentro, no por fuera".
Un homme se distingue par son apparence,
mais aussi par ce qu’il est…
"Un uomo non cambia tramite il suo aspetto, 
bensì grazie a ciò che ha dentro."
"Um homem não se muda pela 
aparência e sim por dentro".
«Мужчина меняется не за счёт внешности, 
а за счёт того, что внутри».
