A group of athletes from Kokoku High School, known as a powerhouse in national sports, have resolved to participate in the forthcoming championship amid brewing controversies involving underage drinking. Despite critics questioning their discipline and integrity, the team members pledge to demonstrate their commitment to their sport. Their resolution has sparked debates within the local community, igniting discussions on student athletes' responsibilities and school authority.

In Japan, underage drinking scandals, particularly those involving high school athletes, often receive significant public attention. The argument centers around the schools’ responsibility to educate students about harmful behaviors and the students' duty to maintain ethical conduct considering their role model status. In Japan, drinking under the age of 20 is illegal, hence such incident also raises a legal concern.

In the United States or European countries, similar scandals involving underage drinking by athletes or students in general could also generate significant media attention and public outcry. However, the legal drinking ages vary, with some European countries allowing controlled drinking at a younger age than in Japan or the US.
