No Side Game – Episode 5

The Astros continue to dominate the season with a 15-game win streak, and now they will face the Cyclones on their last game of the season, which also determines the champion of the league. This will be a battle of will, strength, and… the pride of the coaches!

Translation Notes/Trivia

  • “Ms. Hirata” is actually Yoshida Saori, a real gold-winning Olympic Japanese wrestler.
  • Unlike soccer, “forwards and backs” have opposite roles in rugby. Backs are the offensive players (much like quarterbacks and halfbacks in football) and forwards are the defensive players who can score points by pushing back in a scrum.
  • This drama is a bit weird because usually in sports, there is the season and the post-season. During the season, you play round-robin against every team in the league. During the post-season, the top few teams play against each other for the championship. Here, they seem to be suggesting that the championship team is whomever won the most games in a season, and there is no post-season playoffs.
  • Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium is named after Prince Chichibu who loved rugby and is the most famous rugby stadium in Japan.
