A promotional video for the 6th volume of the baseball manga 'Thank You Pitch' features a suspiciously familiar soundtrack, narration by Hitomi Ueda that echoes known lines, and ends with the text 'Ino Dies' in a recognizable font alongside the phrase 'Duel Standby!' The official side has offered no explanation, leaving viewers confused and the video trending on social media.
The Jump+ official YouTube channel 'Jumplar Channel' released a promotional video for the 6th volume of 'Thank You Pitch,' the baseball manga serialized on Shonen Jump+ since 2024 by Kyu Sumiyoshi, known for 'Hyperinflation.' The PV highlights the scene where Ino catches Kiriyama's full-force pitch 'Earth Impact' from the match against Kanagawa Jitsugyo High School. But the video quickly veers into parody territory: a strangely familiar BGM plays, voice actress Hitomi Ueda delivers lines that sound borrowed from elsewhere, and the video closes with the text 'Ino Dies' in a well-known font and the narration 'Duel Standby!' No official explanation has been given for the free-for-all, and social media reactions range from confusion to amusement as the clip spreads widely.
