The shadowy figurehead when it comes to SLAM DUNK[Sakuragi's Army].We must not forget the
Although he is not a member of the basketball team, except for Hanamichi, he has a presence as a friend of Hanamichi. There must be no one who does not know... ‼️

They are good friends of Hanamichi, they joke around sometimes, and they help us if we need anything... We can't not talk about them. ‼️

Therefore, we will explain about these members in this issue.

What is Sakuragi Gundan?

First, let me explain about the Sakuragi Corps.

It is formed by five first-year students of Shohoku High School, consisting of Hanamichi Sakuragi.

Strictly speaking, we don't call ourselves that...it's more like we are naturally called that...but simply put, we are a group of five close friends.

Five good friends from Wako Junior High School are also hanging out together in Shohoku.

Sometimes I go to Pachinko (Japanese pinball).(in Japanese history)No high school students. ‼️)I've ridden a moped with a couple of people without a license.(in Japanese history)This is also an absolute no-no: ‼️)They will fight...but they will never blackmail or bully the weak. They will only touch someone who is superior to them or when they are defending their own people.

The Mirror of Defectiveness That's right: ‼️

Let's take a look at each and every member.

Yohei Mito

Yohei Mito looks very good in a regentis second only to Hanamichi in fighting, and is not always joking around, but is also calm and big brotherly. He is also quick-witted.

He helps Hanamichi in the shadows without saying a word, and I think that's what makes him so popular.

Someone must think Yohei is cool ❤️... and the voice of the animated version is great too!

When he ran out of the club after a fight with Akagi, a group of delinquents from another school got involved and got into a fight, he once urged Hanamichi, who was not at home, to return to the basketball club.

At that time, I thought he was a good guy who really understood hanamichi.

I really look at Hanamichi. ‼️ He is a handsome man in face and heart.

bonus

Initially, Mito was going to join the basketball club. However, there was no longer any decisive reason for him to join the club, and he was no longer interested in joining.

It is true that Mito is depicted throwing the ball into the goal, isn't it? Is that a remnant of his plan to join the basketball team?

Chuichiro Noma

One of the three "Chu" trio, a.k.a. the three idiots with beards.It is.
Although they are solely a cheering squad for Hanamichi, they are of course also strong in fights.

He may look older (because of his beard...and my prejudice...) but he is a first year student. (And my prejudice...) I am a first year student.

I think the camaraderie is one of the best things about Chu, as he never vomits on his fellow students, even if they assault him.

He may look like he's going to be a bit of a jerk, but he's a man who does what he needs to do!

Takamiya Nozomu

The fat person with a punch perm is Nozomu Takamiya.It is. This one does not look like a high school freshman either.
There are no high school students with punch perms, nowadays...it's a sign of the times.

Do you know how Takamiya chugs a Coke? I once went through the rough trick of putting a pachinko ball (really a 10 yen coin) in an empty plastic bottle and chugging the contents to make a cheering tool...

It's carbonated, you know? If I chugged it, I would be in big trouble, but this Takamiya guy is a terrible man. But he is a terrible man, Takamiya.

I ended up spitting it out, though.

The voice actor for the anime version is the same as "Guld" from Dragon Ball. Are they the same? Is it just me, or do they have the same body shape and atmosphere?

Yuji Owusu

The blonde ookusu doesn't really stand out as much as this...etc.et ceteraI feel a little sorry for him, he is one of the people we treat.

It seems to be the first to bite the other person, so it seems that it buys the fight it is sold to immediately, right?
Like a suicide captain.

...Please someone tell me what is the coolest part of Ookusu here ‼️...!

Mitsui Basketball Club attack

The attack on the Mitsui Basketball Club cannot be left out when discussing the Sakuragi Army.
Unable to break his love for basketball and feeling frustrated that he could not return even if he wanted to, Mitsui and his delinquent friends launched an attack on the basketball club.

It was the Sakuragi Army that saved the basketball team at that time. You can't put your body on the line to help your friends and then sacrifice yourselves, can you?

He is a superman-like fellow who comes to the rescue in all the right places.

They appeared on the stage like Tarzan on a rope, but in the end they failed, which was very Sakuragi Gundan-like.

Training Camp Shootout

In order to have Hanamichi, whose only inside attack was dunking, learn to jump-shoot, we held a training camp where he had to successfully take 20,000 shots in a week before IH.

that (something or someone distant from the speaker, close to the listener)Sakuragi's group stayed together at a training camp.It is.
I turn on the video and check the form of Hanamichi, many, many times... in the hot gymnasium.

You say that you come to watch practice just to chill out, but you know that you are properly supporting Hanamichi. What you have is a friend, after all.

Summary [The Personality of Sakuragi's Army].

How was it? Did we convey some of the goodness of the Sakuragi Corps?
Although all of them except Yohei Mito are not well-known and hardly stand out, I would be glad if people know that the three idiot trio are also important figures who support the Shohoku basketball team.

I think you have found out that they are not just delinquents who fight with each other, but are friends who are concerned about Hanamichi and support him.

I hope these four will also find something they can be passionate about and move forward like Hanamichi.

SLAM DUNK is a basketball manga, but it is also a very nice manga that teaches the importance of friends. ‼️

If you haven't read it, I really want you to read it and I want to share this beautiful work with you!
