* OpposingSportsTeam: Kadokawa High's water polo team is a perfect (although non-villainous) example. The coach is a DrillSergeantNasty [[spoiler:who is single-handedly responsible for Minato becoming the {{Jerkass}} he was before the amnesia ([[ALessonLearnedTooWell by telling him that being the team's ace meant being aggressive]]), refuses to allow Minato to become part of the team again because he doesn't thinks Minato would never catch up to his teammates' TrainingFromHell, and Amihama's brother reveals to Minato that he, the captain of the team, is TheUnfavorite of the coach with Minato as (ironically) the favorite the coach keeps comparing him to.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Minato and his new team failed to defeat his old team at the prefecture game, but the results finally changed Minato's viewpoint of the sport. He decides to continue on doing water polo while still acknowledging and learning from the mistakes he made prior to the car crash.]]

It follows Minato Kiyomizu, who wakes up 203 days after a car crash with no memory of the last three years.

&&* FemaleGaze: With all the shirtless scenes, this is quite obvious. (Zero-context example)

* ClubStub: The water polo team consists of seven characters - the exact number needed to field a team - and it struggled to recruit that many players as it was. Taken UpToEleven the previous year, where Jojima was able to find six other members initially but then they all quit, leaving him as the only member.
