if you all notice, there is absolutely NO arrogance in his words. he says "just for today" twice as int to let them know that it's ok to admire these players and that they can and should continue admiring them, but just for today, for this game, believe that you are the best and came here to win, the become the top.
You should watch Major. The main character: Shigeno Goro, resembles him a lot. Ohtani even said he grew up reading Major and Im sure it inspired him through out his younger years. 🙏🏼
Maybe in 6-8 more years of doing what he’s doing but as of right now he just hasn’t been in the league long enough to be considered the best to ever do it.
He needs at least 1 more mvp and then just time. Time in the league is a big factor for being considered the best, 6 years isn’t very long. I believe by the end of his career he will be considered top 3 all time without a doubt.
Ohtani San is scared of no one and wants the W at all costs! Much respect to this awesome, I'd say once in a generation or perhaps lifetime player.👏✊⚾💯
They already knew that, so Shohei wasn't trying to convince them of that. He was trying to make his teammates believe that THEY have what it takes to beat these great players, because as great as Shohei is, he can't do it alone.
What a great way of deconstructing the mythology of greatness of each American player down to the specific position that they play so that his own team can envision themselves in those same positions as the Titans that they are. Incredible.
He is already a legend, yet he’s still moving forward and making great history every single day! Such a privilege for us to witness him doing everything he can to win the game each and every day and night in the most humbling way possible ❤❤❤ How can we not love him ❤🙏🥰
In Japanese, tonation of syllables are largely responsible for what's being said. What he's saying are presented as "facts" as if they're inevitable outcomes. That's why this speech is so great.
@@baatarJapan was a bit... different back in the day. Wounds from wars sow seeds of hate through generations. Having said that, I think many admire Shohei and look past it
MADE ME CRY. THIS IS RLY INSPIRATIONAL. LIKE BACK IN THE DAYS WE PLAYED JUNIOR HIGH 🏀 AGAINST A TEAM WHO HAS A D1 PROSPECT BUT WE ALWAYS ADMIRED THOSE PLAYERS AND WE KNEW WE CANT BEAT THEM OR EVEN SCORE TO THEM. OR LIKE 🏒 GAME AGAINST ELITE 🇨🇦 PLAYERS. SHOHEI IS INSPIRING AND SUPER SMART. PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COST. HE IS THE MJ OF BASEBALL. 👍🏻
世界一憧れられてる主人公
top 3 anime scene of all time
I was choking when I read this comment!! Well done! Sir
Talk no jutsu
🤗
Haha
🐐
That's a leader. That's how it is done.
American team captain “LET’S GO!!” 🤔
Shohei: don’t admire them
Other Japanese players:
We are admiring you……
😂
Yeah.I heard one of these players saying that he didn’t understand this at all because Shohei was the one they admired.😆
They all be like 😍
👁️ 👁️
👄
They are but they know mlb is the goat
As an American in my 50’ s, I will say this guy is a dream for Major League Baseball and everyone that watches it.
Indeed, Sir...Indeed.
From Japan, thank you for your message. Also, I watch the MLB because of him.
Shorter version: “Stop glazing them up and let’s get this dub”
The slightly longer version: "cause american english comes straight from the hub"
😂😂😂😂
Ghetto version

Yes, well said!
Dude is like a real life anime character the attitude the skills this the guy
The attitude and the skills is why u think he’s a real life anime character huh? Racist ass comment
Racist
"the only thing I know about Japan is anime, so I will relate literally anything involving Japan through it"
You should watch Major. The main character: Shigeno Goro, resembles him a lot. Ohtani even said he grew up reading Major and Im sure it inspired him through out his younger years. 🙏🏼
@@avonlaveI'm sure people compare Americans to comic book superheroes all the time, it's not a bad thing
How can you not love this guy.
確かに納得だな！
さぁ、いこう！の言い方がかっけぇ
How is this man such a great human being as a whole? I’d love to meet his parents, shake their hand, and thank them for giving us Shohei.
If you yearn for it you won't be able to overcome it. Words to live by.
Like a samurai talking to his fellow warriors before battle....
Cuz he’s from Japan?😭
Bro the comments talking about anime and samurais are making me cringe so bad...
@@SavantGardeEXyour pfp😂
@@JapanQuest what about it... it's still embarrassing to relate everything japanese to anime and samurai... like come on
Hilarious cuz true
Amazing speech. Exactly what this team needed. Not just his performance - this is the stuff of legends.
1番憧れるのはあなたです
誰からも憧れられる大谷さんがこれを言うのがクソカッケェ
A speech that show respect and admiration to their opponents while also inspire your teammates and give them confidence. Shohei is so nice!
That's a leader if I ever saw one. Shohei the Great!
He's definitely a leader ❤❤❤❤
The best player ever
Maybe in 6-8 more years of doing what he’s doing but as of right now he just hasn’t been in the league long enough to be considered the best to ever do it.

@@kruzedarling9347no i dont love baseball but this alien dominated the league and makes me wants to learn it from 0 to done
name ONE player who has done more in his first 6 seasons in MLB than Shohei@@kruzedarling9347
i really agree to his words...
Everyone admiring you
Man, we will never see a greater athlete than him in our lifetime. What an absolute legend
Absolutely!!!
That’s both respect and competitor.
True leader…..
選手一同「(おめえに憧れてんだよ…)」
それな笑笑
Ohtani San is scared of no one and wants the W at all costs! Much respect to this awesome, I'd say once in a generation or perhaps lifetime player.👏✊⚾💯
Dude is the main character
True
"We come here to beat them today." How more inspiring can it get.
You know what the rest of the guys were thinking to this speech?
"We admire you more than anyone you mentioned".
True story.
Legit….how can you not like this guy
The guy is just fucking incredible!
Cant stop play this video
I am inspired listening to him!
Sweet and straight to the point.
This dude is a generational talent who is absolutely amazing to watch play. He intensifies the games he's in.
Great speech!
Shouldve said..."goldschmidt, trout, mookie...im the best f'n baseball player of all time"
You’re fckn nuts 🤣
😂
They already knew that, so Shohei wasn't trying to convince them of that. He was trying to make his teammates believe that THEY have what it takes to beat these great players, because as great as Shohei is, he can't do it alone.
Shohei's da Man 💪🏽👊🏼👏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
He is even respectful and polite in his pep talk.🤭
SAMURAI!!
Shohei is a giant, like Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali. It’s rare to see someone in sports like this
I’m hyped
And now the world admires Shohei. Sho-time!!!
It’s showtime!!!!
周囲「オウッッ！！」
（こいつかっけえな、マジで憧れるわ）
周東「(お前が言うなよ…お前に1番憧れとる)」
Wow that’s a leader
😅have the hugest crush on ohtani he seems like such a kind and humble individual ❤ and he’s Japanese love and respect Japanese culture
The Japanese samurai
The Japanese samurai is just a samurai lol
@@I-am-not-human-being He a Goat buddy
Sāikō! (let's go!)
Saikou (The best)
↑Almost the same pronunciation
So true. In competition it’s all mental.
I love him. Ha! I'm in NZ our national game is Rugby! He's an icon.
I'm In the US and I've never watched a rugby match but I respect the All Blacks
何度 見ても ❝さぁいこう❞には鳥肌たつ🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gotta love this guy
One day those Japanese players will be able to say “I was there when Ohtani gave a pre game speech before the final of World Baseball Classic” 😊
He’s my hero
What a great way of deconstructing the mythology of greatness of each American player down to the specific position that they play so that his own team can envision themselves in those same positions as the Titans that they are. Incredible.
憧れられる側に今はいるのがたまらん
What an absolute unit.
unreal this guy on game
Japanese national treasure.
Really a legendary moment
That’s a leader 😊
He's good at the technique of positions and playing as a team. Smart guy
Love it
He is already a legend, yet he’s still moving forward and making great history every single day! Such a privilege for us to witness him doing everything he can to win the game each and every day and night in the most humbling way possible ❤❤❤ How can we not love him ❤🙏🥰
His choice of words are really amazing and respectful, the Ninja Way :):):)
In Japanese, tonation of syllables are largely responsible for what's being said. What he's saying are presented as "facts" as if they're inevitable outcomes. That's why this speech is so great.
I think that's the case with most languages when it comes to intonation ;)
True leader . So hyped for 2024 season . Go Dodgers !!
This speech goes hard
His a real ninja 🥷
I am Korean...but love this guy very much ❤
Do Korean’s tend to not like Ohtani?
@@Freedathedogthey’re just a bunch of Japan haters
@@baatarJapan was a bit... different back in the day. Wounds from wars sow seeds of hate through generations. Having said that, I think many admire Shohei and look past it
@@kami_1789 USA bombed the shit out of Japan yet Japanese worship Americans as white Gods
Korea japan and china all have beef. It's more prominent with the older generation though @@Freedathedog
He’s gonna make dodgers filthy rich
Big, strong, handsome, talented....what more do you want from a player?
Wealthy too
You mean from a human being? And humble too. He is OP innit?
Don't bust a load over him bro.
Haven't thought about that. One thing's for sure, I won't bust a load over you sista!
@@shuib that's for sure Sir, she doesn't have male body parts. You wouldn't be attracted to her.
I would commit treason and serve the Emperor if Shohei gave me a pep talk.
😂😂😂
That scream raised my morale
ㅋㅋㅋ
Very Japanese but also very effective.
It worked, they won.
that was so good
Ohtani is the man.
Dude is like a Slam Dunk character lol. That older senior that’s good at everything lol
Slam Dunk happens to be Ontani’s favorite manga.
SHOHEI!!!!!
この大舞台のスピーチで、憧れの選手として
トラウトや未来のチームメイトのベッツ選手の
名前を出したのは素晴らしい
このスピーチは英訳されて、彼らの耳にも
届いている。大谷の本心からの敬意が伝わって
２人とも悪い気はしなかっただろう。
彼らもアスリートだから分かってんじゃないかな。「憧れてしまえば越えられない」は本当にそう思う。必要以上の過度なリスペクトは相手を過大評価し自分たちを過小評価してしまうことをね
Kindest way possible
I’m loving it
In English - Teamwork makes the dream work. Let's Go Dodgers! ⚾️
This speech makes me want to pick up my samurai sword and go to battle no matter what clan they are from
HE IS HIM !!!
This is what we need with the dodgers and we got it !
Damn this dude is for real the looks the skills, that strange charisma.. and I'm a guy wtf admiring this bruhhh
bro i love my gf shes the most beautiful woman ive ever seen but shohei got me questioning my sexuality for real
確かに納得だな！
いや一番の憧れがチームにいるから大丈夫ですｗ
それな

You should watch the new Slam Dunk movie. It would be right up your alley.
Lead your troops Shotime!!! 💪💪🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best All Around Today ❤
Bro is definitely gonna be the Dodgers Captain in his 3rd year.
Talk the talk walk the walk. Mad Respect for Ohtani.
Shohei having that mamba mentality
No, mamba was not a team player
日本人として、この言葉を正確に理解できるのが何よりも運が良かったとおもう。
イチローのパクリなんだけどねこれ
Let’s go Dodgers!
Awesome dude
The final boss of baseball
Sounds like the voice of a leader😊
