                               context 
        With an unparalleled amount of in-depth interviews with Ohtani and the mentors, players, coaches, and managers who have shaped his career, the documentary offers a contemplative look at Ohtani's remarkable journey from his modest beginnings in rural Japan to his ascent to become a "two-way" superstar in Major League Baseball. 



                    historical significance 
                  
        November 17 was the debut date, or more precisely, November 17, since Ohtani's playing number with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan was 11. In addition, Ohtani spent the preceding six seasons playing for the Angels with the number 17. The release date is one day after Ohtani's announcement that he was unanimously chosen as the American League Most Valuable Player. 
                               


                          songs  
         
            There are four  songs in the documentary. Not only does Queen's "We Will Rock You" feature regularly in sports films, but Tainy and Bad Bunny's "Mojabi Ghost" has gained popularity in the baseball community.<ref>(Shibboleth Authentication Request, n.d.)Ghost Machines' "Can't Get Enough" serves as the third tune; anybody who has watched Alex Ohtani at-bat at Angel Stadium this season will recognize it as one of his two walk-up songs. One of Ohtani's favorite songs, "Lost in Paradise" by ALI with AKLO, is the final song that plays after the credits. It's the theme music that ends the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen."
