Ryota Miyagi] who was the main character in the movie [THE FIRST SLAM DUNK].

People who have only seen this movie may or may not think Miyagi is the main character in the manga...
"The main character is Hanamichi Sakuragi," he says.

The film is said to have been made by the author, Mr. Takehiko Inoue, who had some regrets about not being able to fully depict Ryota when the series was serialized, so he decided to focus on him in the story.

The story is drawn from Ryota's childhood to his days in the Shohoku basketball club, so you can read deeply into Ryota's emotions at that time and place.

This work was born out of a desire to depict him.[PIERCING]There are
But it seems that the work is not entirely about Lyota's story, since it is said to be a nuanced work, not about SLAM DUNK, to the extent that it may or may not be a little bit of a story.

In this issue.Lyota MiyagiLet's take a look at the spotlight on the

[Lyota Miyagi]

Ryonan coach Shigekazu Taoka calls him "one of the top five guards in the prefecture.Miyagi Ryota is so much more than a PG.

Speed, passing, and dribbling are the weapons.It is. You do a lot of fast attacks, too.

Lyota had an older brother, Sota, who was three years older than him.
Sota was known as a great player and captain of the Okinawa minibus team.

Such an elder brother dreams not to represent Sanno at the IH, but to be on the national stage as Sanno's opponent.
howeverI inherited the dream of my brother who died in a sea accident, and now I am standing on the stage that my brother dreamed of.The following is a list of the most common problems with the

Number 7 was the number my brother had always worn.
Lyota has lived with that number on his back all his life.

Let's take a closer look at Miyagi Ryota, who is more than just a quarrelsome and problematic child, along with his quotes.

Profile

  • Position: PG
  • Number: 7
  • Grade: 2nd
  • Height: 168cm
  • Birthday: 7/31
  • Nickname: Ryochin (Hanamichi only)

The PG is the team's command post. They give instructions and carry the ball to the frontcourt.
There is an impression that many people are short in stature, but some are tall.

The position is not too high, but it can be low.
It's a place where players with speed and technique can excel.

For Japan, I would say Togashi and Kawamura. Their technique is great as well as their speed. ‼️

Origin of the name

From the time of serializationRyota decided that he was from Okinawa, so he added "Miyagi," which is common in Okinawa.It seems to be.

The reason his name is in katakana seems to be because Hanamichi Sakuragi called him in katakana.

memo

When Hanamichi did not call people by their nicknames, he always used katakana, so when he had Hanamichi call him Ryota-kun, he could no longer assign kanji.

Dribbling is the way of life for the little guy!

Lyota was double-teamed and defended when fatigue was starting to set in against Sanno.
This is the scene where Lyota is blocked by two taller players and dribbles past them.

Dribbling is the way of life for the little guy!

Lyota may be small, but he has speed and technique, so we will use that to our advantage and move forward.
It was the scene where you could see the electric light Miyagi Ryota.

Lyota's pass is really like an actual person's pass, so there is a realistic feel to it.
You also see a lot of no-look passes.

I'm going to beat him and I'm going to come out on top!

Lyota to fight against Fujishin, one of the best PGs in the prefecture, in the Shoyo match.The other guy is one of the top guards in the county! You know what I'm saying?"This is the answer to Ayako's question.

I'm going to beat him and I'm going to come out on top!

Indeed, the same PG as Ryota, in addition to Fujima, is Sento of Ryonan (basically F, but PG against Kainan), Maki of Kainan, and Fukatsu of Sanno, all of whom are amazing players technically as well as height-wise, so it is not surprising that they are scared of him.

Lyota can do it: ‼️

Pull yourself together! We have to bring the flow ourselves!

A scene in which a member who is exhausted from the battle against Sanno gives a shout out to his teammates.It is.
At the same time, I think you could see his growth as a PG.

My role as a PG in a coach-like position, changing the flow of the team...

Pull yourself together! We have to bring the flow ourselves!

These words must have come from Lyota, who had a firm grasp of the situation of each and every one of his friends around him.

Aya.

Ayako is a cheerful character who always gives the right answer, and she is an indispensable manager for both Lyota and the Shohoku basketball team.

Lyota, who was a basketball player until junior high school and was not sure if he would join the basketball team in high school, says he joined because Ayako was there.

He gives advice as if he knows everything about Lyota, and I think he is a great source of emotional support.

It is one of my specialties to be able to make a good pass when I see Ayako during a game.

Aya...❤️

Pretending to be okay (movie)

Even when it's hard... even when my heart is racing... I pretend to be okay with it as much as I can.

This is what my brother said to me when I was playing 1-on-1 with his brother Sota in the movie.
It continued to support Lyota.

I believe that there are many things in life that make us want to run away.
And it takes courage to stand up against it.

But everyone can change if we can move forward, even if only gradually...
I think that is what I was trying to say.

For Ryota, Sota's words of encouragement were very important to him...
And I think those words continued to support them in their lives.

Letter to my mother

The beginning of the film.I'm sorry I'm the one who's alive.The letter to my mother began with.
I ended up rewriting it, but I felt indescribable when I saw this.

Something that has stuck with me ever since my brother passed away.
I couldn't be honest with my mother and kept my feelings hidden.Lyota, who has lived her life pretending to be fine.I was filled with an aching feeling when I thought of the...

Lyota is Lyota. You don't have to replace anyone, and you can't replace anyone. ‼️

It's a painful experience, but you get over it and move on.
It is not an easy task, but I believe that the Lyota of today was born after showing weakness and accepting his past self.

summary

I'm sure those of you who have seen the movie have a different impression of Lyota. I am one of them.

Lyota was scared inside then and there, but he faced up to himself, pushed himself, and moved forward. It is scary to be matched up with great people.

But he does not give up and continues to move forward step by step... Lyota must be a very strong core person who is able to overcome difficulties on his own.

Lyota fights and has a playful side.
He also has a kindness that makes him put other people's feelings before his own, perhaps because he looks around him so closely.

THE FIRST SLAM DUNK is a film that gives us a glimpse of such a Ryota.
If you missed it, wait until you can watch it: ‼️

You will definitely get to know Lyota as a person anew.
