The film is written by Gatarō Man, based on his manga series of the same name, and stars Tak Sakaguchi, Atsushi Itō, and Hideo Sakaki.

For the first time in years, Seido High School has a chance- star player Gorilla Matsui has finally given the team an opportunity to succeed.

However, the Head teacher[1] reveals to him that the first game will be played against the Gedo High School, infamous for brutally killing all their opponents.

Seido's bumbling catcher Megane, or "Four Eyes," named such for his glasses, is fetching a wayward ball and ends up cornered by a gang of expelled students.

Head Teacher and Gorilla, now cyborgs, one of the school's cheerleaders, and Four Eyes' mother also team up to defeat Gedo.

However, before he can kill the coach, the Gedo players plead for his life, explaining how he brought them out of orphanages and became like a father to them.

As cherry blossoms fall, everyone on the field returns to life before Jubeh attacks the bandaged gunman, literally knocking the muscles off his bones.

Joyously, the crowd celebrates, and the narrator (who turned out to be the bleacher's drunkard's dog) states that they lived happily ever- including the one person on the field that day not resurrected by Jubeh's tears.

Though many praised its irreverent and unique style, others found the purposefully ludicrous plot hard to follow and indicative of a lack of effort on the screenwriter's part.

The strangest aspects of the plot (the frequent reappearances of a crowd[2] and an alcoholic man,[3] Head Teacher and Gorilla returning as cyborgs, etc.)

[6][7] Most reviewers agree that while the film is not necessarily high art, it is a good martial arts/horror/comedy film—they say that it is interesting and exciting enough to keep one watching until the end credits.
