Overview
Giant Killing (ジャイアントキリング, jaiantokiringu?) is an ongoing Japanese soccer manga series created by Masaya Tsunamoto. A 26-episode anime adaptation animated by Studio DEEN began airing in Japan on the BS hi network on April 4, 2010. In 2010, it won the Kodansha Manga Award for best general manga.

East Tokyo United, ETU, has been struggling in Japan's top soccer league for a few years. It has taken everything they have just to avoid relegation. To make matters even worse, the fans are starting to abandon the team. In an effort to improve their performance, ETU has hired a new coach, the slightly eccentric Tatsumi Takeshi. Tatsumi, who was considered a great soccer player when he was younger, abandoned the team years before but has proven himself as the manager of one of England's lower division amateur teams. The task won't be easy, the teams East Tokyo United is pitted against have bigger budgets and better players. However, Tatsumi is an expert at Giant Killing.

Gaint Killing began as a manga series written by Masaya Tsunamoto and illustrated by Tsujitomo, which began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Morning manga magazine in 2007.

An anime television series was produced by Studio Deen and directed by Yuu Kou. The anime began airing in Japan on April 4, 2010. On May 21, 2010 it was announced that Crunchyroll has picked up the series for simulcast distribution starting on May 23. The opening theme song to Giant Killing is "My Story", by The Cherry Cokes. The closing credit music is "Get tough!" by G.P.S.

Extended Information

Daisuke Tsubaki plays Midfield for East Tokyo United. He was promoted from ETU's reserve team to ETU's "A" team by Tatsumi. He is a very fast runner which ETU uses to their advantage by having him get behind other players without them noticing. Being newly promoted Tsubaki has doubts about himself being able to help the team, however Tatsumi encourages him to continue playing even if he makes mistakes.

Tsubaki is an insecure midfielder who has exceptional talent but his nerves get in the way. Some fans and reporters believe that Tsubaki could be the star of ETU if he could gain more confidence in his abilities.

Player Performance

Tsubaki's main strengths are his speed and stamina. Gino often uses Tsubaki as his "stupid hunting dog" because "when someone runs that much, its fun to send passes to them". Because of his outstanding speed, Tsubaki can run behind the opposing team players in an instant and catch them offguard. Gino uses this to the team's advantage by passing the ball to Tsubaki in that instant and have Tsubaki run through the space left open by the unsuspecting player. His speed is so exceptional that even higher sport officials are often left awed and impressed. Tsubaki is able to go head to head with nationally ranked players because of his speed. His impressive stamina is also frequently used by Tatsumi to the team's advantage by pitting Tsubaki against key players on the opposing team and tiring them out. His stamina led to Mochida to refer to him being like an animal.

Tsubaki's main weakness is his inconsistency. People who have helped him in his career all refer to Tsubaki as someone who "screws up nine times out of ten, but in that one try, he plays so beautifully that he dazzles everybody" The main cause of his inconsistency is his inability to cope with even the slightest bit of pressure. Tatsumi is helping Tsubaki overcome this weakness by encouraging him to not be afraid of screwing up and instead focus on dazzling everyone with his brilliant plays and to have fun.
