Giant Killing

Giant Killing synopsis: In "Giant Killing," a disparate group from East Tokyo struggles in Japan's premier football league. The team is mired in a dismal period, teetering near the bottom of the table with five consecutive losses. These defeats have further dampened the already-low team morale, and the outlook for fan support is grim. In the realm of football, once the fans turn their backs on a team, it often signals the beginning of the end. Recovery is rare, with coaches being dismissed, players sold, and teams plummeting to lower divisions where financial constraints hinder their competitiveness even against mediocre top-division opponents. The blame at the moment falls squarely on the shoulders of East Tokyo United (ETU)'s coach. However, the coach is determined to use the upcoming match against the nation's most formidable club to demonstrate to his team and fans that he can lead them to victory.
