the kingdoms of ruin anime kage
[10] Watanabe put in as much as he could
manage of these themes and subjects, challenging earlier limitations imposed by a lack of historical information from the time and Japanese television codes restricting the portrayal of Japanese minorities in the period. [5] The main cultural influence on the anime is the music and associated subculture of hip hop. [11] Watanabe had been a fan of hip hop music from his high school years, citing his first exposure as "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. He compared the samurai culture to hip hop through a similar philosophy of self-identity. [12] The use of hip hop also reinforced the series' focus on its minority and counter-cultural cast, creating a cultural reference by using one with the other. [13] Alongside his liking of hip hop, Watanabe attributed a large amount of the series' inspiration in the works of actor Shintaro Katsu, particularly his historical dramas. The narrative approach of the finished series was inspired by Katsu's notorious habit of directing projects without a set story structure. [5] The word "Champloo" in the title was derived from the Okinawan term chanpurū, with Watanabe comparing the blending of
elements in the anime with the meaning of chanpurū. [14] The food depicted in the show was originally accurated to the Edo period, but eventually expanded to include anachronistic dishes such as okonomiyaki. [5] The plot is structured like a road movie, with little connection between stories until the final three-part arc, contrasting against the serial structure of its contemporaries. [8] Watanabe particularly cited the movies about the blind samurai Zatoichi as an inspiration for this style.

Whether it is a strong line, defense, running backs, kickers, QBs, or WRs, each team has their own specialization, just like in regular football. Each team has their own ace, and each ace, along with a couple of other important members of the opponent’s team, are always introduced to the viewer before the game starts. Then, there’s the interaction and clashing between Deimon Devil bats and the other team.
Football’s a fairly varied game
when it comes to strategies and rules, and the anime illustrates that perfectly. There’s a multitude of strategies and formations that are all viable to use, and each game’s always different. Each touchdown or point is painstakingly gained, and it’s not just “he ran down the center and scored” sort of deal. Honestly, even though I’m pretty familiar with
American Football, some of the strategies, even I’m not familiar with. Man in motion, or onside kick, I had no idea they even existed. I mean, the NFL doesn’t even really permit onside kicks anymore like they did in the anime because the rules changed in 2018. Of course, with these strategies and clashing of teams with characters that have personality, games become nail biters and you’re curious as to what happens and who wins. The show does a good job of creating that tension that a close match should have.
