This year, the long-awaited anime adaptation of "Oi! Tombo" has been decided for 2024, but which scene in this work is your favorite? Although this is a golf manga with golf as its theme, it is a work that depicts the growth of the hearts of each character, and can be enjoyed as a human drama. In particular, the opening episode, which will be depicted in the first season of this work, is an episode that depicts the protagonist Oi Tombo's feelings about the outside world and his past trauma, so it can be said that this episode also has a strong human drama aspect. The first season of the anime is not only notable for its detailed depiction of golf, but also for its human drama, and this time I would like to introduce the famous scenes depicted in the first season of the anime in a ranking format. I will try to avoid introducing spoilers beyond the first season of the anime as much as possible, so if you are a fan who wants to know only the famous scenes of the first season of the anime, please check it out.
6th place: Nature of Hinoshima
The 6th place in the ranking of famous scenes that will be depicted in the first season of this anime is the nature of Hinoshima depicted at the beginning of the anime. This work starts with a scene where Igaiga, who was expelled from professional golf after gambling on baseball with the yakuza, leaves Honshu as if he is running away and starts working on Hinoshima. At that time, Igaiga, who was overwhelmed by the murky atmosphere of the city, is welcomed by the great nature of Hinoshima.
The story takes place in the Tokara Islands
The story takes place on a fictional island called Hinoshima in the naturally rich Tokara Islands. The Tokara Islands are a group of small islands further south from Kagoshima, and are a sparsely populated area that still retains its natural scenery. As a result, there is a lot of vast nature that cannot be seen on Honshu, and this work focuses on the nature of the vast Tokara Islands.
Comparison with Honshu
The people of the Tokara Islands who appear in this work are all characters with broad minds and bright personalities. In contrast to the dirty people of the city, the people who live freely in the rich nature are often depicted as bright characters. Igaiga, the main character of this work, was banished from the city for gambling on golf, so dragonflies and other creatures are drawn in contrast to his dirty character image with such a past.
The setting of the anime version
In this way, in the first season of the anime, Igaiga flees from Honshu and arrives at the Tokara Islands, where he comes into contact with the beautiful nature and various people. In addition to the charm of the characters that appear in the first season of the anime, the depiction of the beautiful nature is also an important scene, so please pay attention to the nature of the Tokara Islands.
5th place: Igaiga is astonished by Tombo's technique
5th place in the ranking of famous scenes that will likely be depicted in the first season of this anime is the scene where Igaiga is astonished by Tombo's technique. This work is about a man who was expelled from the golf world and came to Hinoshima as if he was running away. Igaiga happens to meet Tombo, who has a genius talent for golf, and invites her into the world of golfers. In particular, the scene where Igaiga witnesses Tombo's technique for the first time and is astonished is very tense.
A perfect start for a sports manga
In the scene where Tombo's technique is astonishing, the pro golfer is shown to be playing in detail how unconventional Tombo's play is, explaining that she was not taught the basics by the golfer, but showing that the sense and instinct she has built up on her own is superior to that of the pro golfer. By drawing in this way, it effectively shows that if she, who has her own sense, learns the basics, she will become a better golfer.
Portraying the joy of golf
The joy of golf is not just about the skills you learn from others, but also about pursuing a good swing through trial and error every day. This work depicts the importance of exploring how to play golf on your own, and how, by accumulating these experiences, even a girl living in the countryside can acquire skills that will amaze professional golfers.
If you find this scene interesting, this work will suit you
In this way, this work allows readers to enjoy the convincing golf theory and unconventional depiction of golf skills that will amaze you. The scene where Igaiga is amazed by Tonbo's skill is a scene that is packed with the charm of this work as a golf manga, so if you are an anime fan who likes golf, be sure to pay attention to the complex depiction of golf at the beginning of this work.
4th place: Meeting with Tombo
The 4th place in the ranking of famous scenes that will likely be depicted in the first season of this anime is the scene where he meets Tombo. This work begins with Igaiga, who was banished from the golf world, visiting an island that does not have a golf course, and during that time, Igaiga has a miraculous encounter with Tombo, who has genius golf skills. This is the very beginning scene of the story of this work, so pay attention to the process of Igaiga and Tombo meeting for the first time and getting along with each other.
An innocent girl and Igaiga with a scar on her shin
In this work, Igaiga and Tombo are portrayed as contrasting characters. Although they both have strong feelings about golf, they were banished from the golf world after gambling on golf with the yakuza, and Igaiga has a scar on his shin. In contrast, Tombo has honed his golf skills in the great outdoors and has a pure love for golf. The story of this work progresses as the two people, who have completely different relationships with golf, interact with each other.
A fateful encounter
In this work, the meeting of two people who have completely different approaches to golf can be said to be a fateful encounter. Tombo overcomes his fear of going outside the island and soon begins to play an active role as a golfer who attracts a lot of attention. This is the biggest turning point in the work, so be sure to pay attention to it in the first season of the anime.
Highlights of the first season of the anime
As depicted in the original work, the first season of the anime will depict a lot of interactions between Igaiga and Tombo through golf. In the work, Tombo is not just a cheerful character, but also has a dark past, making him a character with a very deep personality. I would like to pay attention to how much of Tombo's complex feelings can be reproduced in the anime.
3rd place: Interaction between Uncle Gon and Igaiga
The third place in the ranking of famous scenes that will be depicted in the first season of this anime is the interaction between Uncle Gon and Igaiga. Of course, the interaction between Igaiga and Tombo is an important scene in this work, but the interaction between Igaiga and Uncle Gon is even more important. This is because at the beginning of the first season of the anime, his state of mind is depicted subjectively, and Igaiga is a character with a very important position. Therefore, attention is also focused on Uncle Gon as the role of resolving the complicated feelings in Igaiga's heart.
"Gray Eyes"
Gonji describes Igaiga, who came alone from Honshu, as having "gray eyes" and senses that he has some kind of trauma in the past. Since Igaiga is a character with a grumpy face, it was thought that Gonji was wary of Igaiga, but Gonji is actually a kind person, and he and Igaiga, who has such a dark heart, shared a cup of sake and expressed his acceptance of him.
Circumstances unique to Hinoshima
There was a reason unique to Hinoshima that Grandpa Gon accepted Igaiga. Because Hinoshima is far from the main island, it is a place where many people with problems have arrived. Therefore, he foresaw that Igaiga, who suddenly visited Hinoshima, had some kind of unspeakable past.
How will Igaiga face his past?
The people on the island, including Gonji, were cheerful towards Igaiga, who had a story like that, and accepted him. It will be interesting to see how Igaiga faces his past in such an environment and recovers. At first glance, Gonji seems like a scary character, but through his interactions with Igaiga, he is revealed to have a very gentle side, so be sure to pay attention to the interactions between Igaiga and Gonji.
2nd place: Tombo's essay in which he decides to leave the island
The second most memorable scene in the first season of this anime is the scene where the islanders read Tombo's essay in which he decides to leave the island. This work tells the story of Tombo, who grew up on an island, being recognized for his skills by former professional golfer Igaiga and setting off on a journey into the world, but Tombo has a strong attachment to the island where he grew up, and was initially reluctant to leave the island.
Tonbo faces her past
The reason she didn't want to leave the island was because she had seen the ugly scene of her relatives on Honshu forcing her onto each other when she lost her parents. Tonbo became afraid of Honshu, where such people live, and didn't want to leave the island. However, if she wanted to pursue golf further, she would have to leave the island, so she had to face her past here and wonder if she could travel to Honshu to play golf.
Summer Homework
After thinking about her future, Tombo confesses her feelings in an essay that she was supposed to submit as her summer homework. Her answer is to leave the island and practice golf in Honshu. Since she is the only junior high school student on the island, whether she stays on the island was a very important factor for the people on the island. Therefore, the essay in which she expressed her determination attracted the attention of the people on the island.
The story moves to a new stage
Thus, with Igaiga's help, Tombo decides to embark on a new stage in her pursuit of golf. She decides to leave the Tokara Islands, where she has spent a long time, behind and travel to Honshu, where her relatives, who once forced themselves on her, live. I think the conflict in her heart around this point will be carefully depicted in the anime, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
1st place: Farewell to Grandpa Gon
The top-ranked scene in the first season of this anime is the farewell scene between Grandpa Gon and Tombo, who is leaving for Honshu. With Igaiga's persuasion, Tombo decides to leave for Honshu, and Grandpa Gon, who has raised her, says goodbye to her, and it is a scene that cannot be watched without tears.
Uncle Gon had been silent until now
Uncle Gon was a silent character throughout the beginning of the story, and even a frightening character at times, but it seems he couldn't keep his sullen face when he felt the loneliness of the dragonfly he had raised with such care leaving for Honshu.
A scene you can't watch without crying
The feelings that Grandpa Gon has for Tombo, which he doesn't usually say, and his desire to send her off to Honshu for her dreams, are depicted throughout the beginning of the story. It's a very moving scene in this work, so be sure to pay attention to Grandpa Gon's feelings as he sends Tombo off in the anime version as well.
Is this the end of the first season of the anime?
The first season of the anime will probably depict the Tokara Arc, so I think this will be the extent of the depiction. I think the farewell between Gonji and Tonbo will be the climax scene in the first season of the anime, so if you are a fan of the original work, please pay attention to it.
