Baseball prodigy Jubeh Yakyu (Tak Sakaguchi) is the most feared and dangerous juvenile delinquent in all of Japan. After accidentally causing the death of his father with a super-powered, deadly fireball pitch, Jubeh swore off baseball and became a criminal and now, at 17, has been sent to the Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory for hardened criminals. Headmistress Ishihara, the granddaughter of a World War II Nazi collaborator, runs the institution with an iron fist and the enthusiastic help of her sadistic assistant, Ilsa. After arriving at the hellhole, Jubeh soon learns from governor Mifune that his long-lost, younger brother Musashi had also done time there after a murder spree, but had since died mysteriously.

Deadball is first and foremost fun, but you have to be in the mood for it. It's really nothing more than an incredibly carnage-filled baseball game that lasts for over an hour and a half. But you have to be in the mood for this. You have to be in tune with the crazy wave that the Japanese are presenting. Otherwise, you just won't like it and you'll turn away from it. I had a good time, though.
