Battlefield Baseball

In a world where high‑school baseball has been twisted into a deadly contest, every pitch can be the last. The sport’s only rule is brutal: a match ends when every opponent lies defeated. Adding to the menace, the roster of Gedo High School is composed of eerie, blue‑faced “zombies,” a squad whose very presence turns each game into a nightmarish spectacle. The atmosphere crackles with a blend of adrenaline‑fueled rivalry and surreal horror, setting the stage for a showdown that feels as much mythic as it is athletic.

Seido High School lives under the shadow of that legend, its players clinging to the timeless dream of reaching the storied Koshien Stadium. At the heart of their hope is Jubeh, a once‑renowned pitcher whose signature “Super Tornado” delivery made him a living terror on the mound—yet he has sworn never to swing a glove again. Beside him, the earnest catcher known as Four Eyes keeps the team’s spirit alive, while the school’s faculty, led by a determined principal, scramble to forge a roster capable of rivaling the macabre Gedo squad. The narrative centers on the uneasy balance between youthful ambition and the weight of a legend that refuses to be forgotten.

The tone of the film is a kinetic mash‑up of high‑octane sports action and dark, almost comic‑book horror. Visuals swing between gritty, rain‑slicked diamonds and flashes of otherworldly menace, underscored by a soundtrack that throbs with both excitement and foreboding. Character dynamics glow with tension: the reluctant hero who must confront his past, the loyal teammates who push him toward redemption, and the looming presence of an opponent that seems unstoppable. This uneasy mixture of hope and dread invites viewers to wonder whether the spirit of the game can survive when the very field has become a battlefield.
