- When the Kintetsu Buffaloes merged with the Orix BlueWave to form the modern Buffaloes, 54 years of history was erased. But 3 years before that fateful day, the Buffaloes went on a run for the ages, looking to finally take what was so rightfully theirs.
Music is from the Jet Set Radio OST.

You overlooked the worst part of that 1989 Japan Series loss - the Buffaloes were *reverse-swept.* Literally as close to winning the Japan Series as you can get without actually winning it. Fantastic video nitpick aside.

That walk-off grand slam is truly the greatest moment of Kintetsu Buffaloes.
You deserve thousands of subscribers, you’re a foreign NPB fan hero my friend
WOW. Once again I’m just floored. You have some great videos, my friend. I’m going to be really interested in seeing some more fun historical videos from you!
I'm a Buffaloes' fan today because I first fell for the Kintetsu Buffaloes, and I'm damned glad that you made this video. Thank you.
Just found ur channel from ur post on the NPB sub and I love it. Been looking for a good NPB content creator.
I was lucky enough to see Hideo Nomo pitch for the Buffaloes out at the old Fujidera Stadium in 93. Thank you for this video!
This is a great video! Getting into baseball in a language as hard as Japanese is a daunting task, yet this video completely leapfrogs that! Absolutely phenomenal work and I can't wait for more.
I like how you build the climax and the usage of JetSet music 🤣
What I try to do with my music choices is pick music that comes from games that are set in the same time period as the story I'm talking about. JetSet fit really well with that

(It's going!)
Something happened with Kintetsu this year! 「今年の近鉄には何かが起こった！」
(It can't be etc...)
Kitagawa threw his helmet off 「帽子を投げ捨てた北川！」
Nakamura is running! welcoming Kitagawa 「中村走った！北川を出迎えた」
Step on the home base dude! Step on the home base dude! Step on the base firmly dude! 「しっかりと踏めよ！しっかりと踏めよ！ちゃんと踏めよ！」
Home iiiiiiiiiiin! (With the caption "Congratulations on winning the league title!"
Just wanted to let you know how the commentator told Kitagawa in the casual way to step on the base (probably because even he was so excited) was kinda funny for Japanese fans as they usually speak in more formal way, so that part of commentating is reminded when we are talking about this homerun.
Considering another play by play guy was just screaming "ahhhhhh, ahhhhh" when it cleared the wall, safe to say everyone connected with the Buffaloes in even the most remote way lost their minds that day.
a real shame that orix and Kintetsu were merged together
Right? Honestly I think it turned the entire teams culture and attitude in a completely different direction.
SWEAR ON MY LIFE THEY SHOULD'VE KEPT THE OLD STYLE KINTETSU BUFFALOES CULTURE!
The fact that they let Moya wear 1 is an insult all on its own
@@GaijinBaseball today its now worn by shuhei fukuda an above average leadoff man
Whoa, great. I'll waiting for more to come. 🙏🙏🙌🙌👍👍. Greetings from 🇮🇩
This sounds exactly like the "Japanese" team I used in Diamond Dynasty this year. The kicker is I also put the team in Osaka. I say "Japanese" because I had to stretch what counted and include Kyle Higashoka along with Korean, Taiwanese, Hawaiian, and Chinese players to help fill the roster down to what the NPB limits were on foreign players. So basically an NPB team if Japan kept their empire intact plus gaining Hawaii.
And 2 months after this vid.
They're No.1 team in Pacific League with 4 point lead over No.2 Eagles and 7 point lead over dynastic Hawks.
😂
In the end, I think we lost to the Hanshin Tigers. The Hawks, Braves and Buffaloes all built dynasties but failed to fill stadiums. The ballpark is in ruins, and contract renewals are a mess. Fukudome refuses to be drafted. and Nomo, Ichiro, and Nakamura went to the United States alone. The Buffaloes win 2021 and 2022 are milestones that unleashed the curse of the 2004 horrific merger turmoil.
It's been said about a million times, but damn
how can you not be romantic about baseball?
22:44 the greatest homerun call in baseball history full stop.
The Orix Buffaloes are 2nd in their league, so things are looking up for them.
An Ichiro BluRay retrospective NEEDS to use the Blue Wave font on the cover and not the bluray logo.
And the Buffaloes finally got their title when the Eagles won in 2013. Wait what?
Where did you find the footage for this game?
How can anyone think about baseball when there’s ham to be fought in Japan?!
