Despite facing teams with superior budgets and talent, Tatsumi is renowned for his ability to achieve "Giant Killing" victories. The series follows Tatsumi's efforts to revitalize ETU, overcome their challenges, and hopefully bring the team back to its former glory. The core theme revolves around the underdog's struggle against more powerful opponents.
