Over the Rainbow

Sep 28, 2010

Mario receives a visit from Jeffrey, the American boxer, who asks him to visit the Army Camp. Mario obliges and is observed by a professional boxing trainer who comments that Mario's broken right hand will make it impossible to box. He directs Mario to a doctor who may be able to heal his hand. The doctor explains that the surgery will restore his right hand with at 30% success rate but advises if the surgery fails, he will lose the use of his hand. Mario takes the deal remembering Sakuragi's words about taking chances, and the surgery is a success. When his hand heals, Mario visits Sakuragi's mother to pay his respects and is given Sakuragi's boxing boots before heading to his match. Mario, with his restored hand, defeats his opponent in his boxing match. He is later seen at the tree where he and his friends carved their life's dreams into and speaks to the late Sakuragi. After a spontanous rainstorm, an image of Sakuragi asks Mario what his dream is, to which he replies helping his friends achieve their dreams.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Based on George Abe's autobiographical manga; the real Shounan facility operated until 1972 with documented abuse scandals.

Memorable

The 'Rainbow' title refers to both the boys' cell number and the ironic hope they cling to — the ED song became a surprise chart hit in 2010 Japan.
