Why do many people think Hakata Shōdai is the winner of the Nationals in the Dunk the Stars episode?

Haha, this is an interesting question, why do many people think that Hakata Shokudo is the champion of the national tournament in the year of the dunker episode? Personally, I think it has something to do with the team power system in Dunkers and Inoue's references to the real Japanese high school basketball scene, as specified below.

The traditional powerhouse teams in Slam Dunk don't fluctuate much in strength, and Hakata Shoji was the winner of the national tournament prior to the drama year, so after King of the Hill's unexpected loss in the drama year, many people thought Hakata Shoji's probability of winning was extremely high.

Yuhiko Inoue, as a basketball fan, is still relatively robust about the overall strength of the different teams in the "Dunkers" set, basically the strongest teams have a stable lineup, there will not be big ups and downs. And basically strong teams have one to two players is the absolute core of the team, in conjunction with the right players will be able to achieve good results. And many talented players have already made a name for themselves in their first year of high school, such as Maki-Shenichi of Hainan, Sendo of Lingnan, and Rukawa Feng of Shonboku.

These teams are centered around talented players who basically don't make too many mistakes and basically don't fluctuate too much, and before the year of the drama, the top four teams in the national tournament that we know of are the King of the Mountain, the Hakata business (runner-up), the Hainan and the Aiwa. The king of the mountain in the semi-finals to kill off the Makishen one of Hainan, and Hakata businessman to kill off the Aiwa has the stars big. Although the overall strength is still and the mountain king gap, but and other teams Xiangbei Bodo business obviously higher in a class to, and the plot year in accordance with the national competition division mountain king was Xiangbei early killed, love and ravaged Xiangbei, Hainan destroyed love and into the final, another tournament only last year's runner-up can be suppressed Hainan probability of some high only. After all, and Hakata business in the same area of the name of the Friends and Da Rong College are single-core team, facing the multi-core Hainan want to easily deal with basically impossible. So many people think that Hakata Shoji is the champion team of the national tournament in the year of the drama.

Being that Hakata had defeated Aiwa Academy, which has a large number of stars, to reach the final, the overall situation is still very outstanding, and Hakata has once again entered the national competition stage in this year's drama, and the potential rivals of the same group of divisions, namely Nabari Industries and Daiei Academy, are both single-core teams. With Hakata's experience in dealing with single-core teams, the probability of solving Naimoto Industries and Daiei Academy is a bit higher.

Hakata's prototype school, Fukuoka University's Daiei, is also one of the top schools in Japan's high school basketball world.

Many of the teams in Dunkin' Hands have real-life prototypes, for example, the strongest team in the show, the King of the Mountain, is the real-life prototype school is Noshiro Industries, and Hakata Shoji's prototype is also the Japanese high school basketball world's top school, Fukuoka University, affiliated with the Great Hori. It is one of the top five schools in Japan since the development of various types of high school basketball competitions in Japan, thanks to the strong strength of its participation in the National Championship summer league and winter tournament results in Japan's high school schools are among the top, and in the 1990s Inoue created the dunking master of the time period is Fukuoka Dahori's heyday.

Naturally, after the King of the Hill was eliminated, many anime fans who like dunker will check Inoue Yuuhiko's prototype school for the team in the episode, and thus the speculation that Hakata Shoji was the winner of the national tournament in the year of the dunker episode. The prototype school of Hakata Shoji has reached the finals of the National Championship 18 times, the quarterfinals 34 times, and the Elite Eight of the National Championship 53 times, judging from the results of the competition. It's a traditional powerhouse in Japanese high school basketball. And in the final matchup with King of the Hill eight times Hakata business prototype school all lost, so many people think that since the plot year King of the Hill accidentally out of the game, so another tournament Hakata business natural probability of winning the championship will increase a lot.

Hakata Shoji's real-life prototype school is second only to King of the Hill's prototype school, Noshiro Industries, in terms of results in the national tournament, and in the time period in which Inoue created Slam Dunk both teams were at their peak, and although Fukuoka Dahori has been suppressed by Noshiro Industries, the overall strength of the team is still a bit stronger than the other players. Japan's realistically strongest high school basketball power rankings Hakata Sho's prototype school ranked no less oh.

Many people believe that Hakata Sho is the plot year champion has to do with the reality of the Japan High School Basketball National Championships at the time and the schedule of Yuuhiko Inoue.

Inoue for the drama of the national tournament is obviously in the schedule down a lot of hard work, not only in order to make the national tournament quickly finished and let the mountain king and Shonboku early encounter, but also for the national tournament title to lay the seeds. Let's take a look at the top three finishers in the 1990-96 Japan High School Basketball National Championships, where Inoue created Slam Dunk.

From the picture you can see that from 1990 to 1996 the Sanno I**** won four national championships, with two of those years being squeezed out of the title by Ronan from Kyoto and Tsuchiura Nitta from Ibaraki, respectively. And the situation before the plot year Inoue is supposed to be a reference to the 1993 Japan High School Nationals, where the winner was Noshiro Industries (a prototype of Sanno Industries), and the runner-up was Fukuoka Dahori (a prototype of Hakata Sho). The third place is the prototype of Hainan Shonan Engineering University Affiliated. And the plot year I think it should be a reference to the 92 nationals and made some adjustments.

This year Sanno did not reach the quarterfinals, and the first place team was from Ibaraki, with the rest of the teams coming from Aichi, Kyoto and Osaka. But let's take a look at the grouping in the dunker will find that the tournament first Ibaraki third Kyoto and fourth Osaka and the mountain king in the same division, according to the development of the plot naturally by the back of the Hainan and Aiwa killed. Next, only Aichi is assigned to the bottom half of the division, which is Nabari. But from the team composition point of view only Mori Shigeki wide a stable strong point, naturally for the same lower half of the Hakata business is not a big threat. Since the strength of strong teams in the Dunkin' Donuts rarely goes up and down, and it's not plausible to expect last year's runner-up team's strength to drop dramatically in a storyline year, many estimate that Hakata Shoji is the winner of the national tournament.

To summarize, I think that many people's assumptions that Hakata is the winner of the Dunkirk's year of play should be based on the strengths of the different teams in the Dunkirk's power classification system and the achievements of the prototype teams from different schools in the real world. But in fact we do not know anything about the configuration of the Hakata business team, so it can only be considered a kind of probability of speculation, the analysis is not in place place, please forgive me, you have other ideas welcome to leave a message to discuss.
