Media

Manga

Written and illustrated by Satoshi Yoshida, the series originated as a one-shot published in Shōnen Gahōsha's Shōnen King magazine in August 1982. The one-shot was turned into a full series, which was serialized in Shōnen King from 1982 to 1987.[2] Shōnen Gahōsha collected the series' individual chapters into 16 tankōbon volumes.[3] The series has been re-released by Kodansha,[4] Akita Shoten,[2] and Shogakukan.[5] A new one-shot for the series was published in Shogakukan's Big Comic in 2017.[6]

A prequel series, titled Shonan Bakusozoku First Flag, began serialization in Akita Shoten's Young Champion No. 3 magazine on January 11, 2022.[2] As of November 2024, Akita Shoten has collected its individual chapters into four tankōbon volumes.[7]

12 original video animation (OVA) episodes, animated by Toei Animation, were released from 1986 to 1999.[6][8] AnimEigo released the first OVA in North America on VHS.[9]

Live-action

A live-action film adaptation, directed by Daiki Yamada and starring Yōsuke Eguchi and Yūji Oda, was released in 1987.[10]

Reception
