Whirlwind! Iron Leaguer is a 1993 shonen sport anime series created by Sunrise. Not really that well known in the west. The anime combines mecha genre and sports together initially in the form of a good guys vs cheaters type of story. The series debuted in Super Robot Wars Neo for Wii.In the future, mankind has developed a multi-sport tournament known as Iron League, using artificially intelligent robots as the players instead of humans. The competition is very popular. However, its main support comes from the Dark Organization, a group that produces cheating Iron Leaguers that use dirty and violent tactics in games as a sure ticket for fame and popularity. While the sports community has been turned into a dangerous and (figuratively) bloody contest, Silver Castle, the team with the lowest winning ratio, tries to preserve true sportsmanship by playing sports by their original rules without any cheating or violence. The team's fate as well as the fate of the Iron League itself is changed when two Iron Leaguers - Mach Windy, Dark Prince FC's former ace striker and Magnum Ace, a mysterious but skillful baseball-playing Leaguer - join Silver Castle, and gradually lead the team back to its forgotten glory. It's not all fun and games, however; as the story goes on, it is revealed that the Iron League is actually a front for something far more sinister...The series later got a five-episode OVA, Under the Flag of Silver Light, which is a direct sequel to the TV series. Silver Castle, after being bought by the Universal Corporation becomes the team that employs Blood Sport while other teams stay clean due to Silver Castle's contribution. Magnum Ace is frustrated about the way things are going and Mach Windy, who can't stand the change, decides to leave the team with some other members and search for a team to defeat the corrupted Silver Castle.The series was released on VHS and DVD with a recent release by Blu-Ray in Japan on March 2023.SIL also has a drama CD, which is only available in Japan.Silver Castle's main Iron Leaguers are: The Leader: Magnum Ace, specializes in baseball. Originally known as Silver Frontier, and was an Iron Soldier before becoming Magnum Ace. The Lancer: Mach Windy, specializes in soccer. Bare-Fisted Monk : Kiai Ryuken, specializes in karate. The Big Guy: Bull Armor, specializes in american football. The Lancer No.2 or The Smart Guy: Jurota Kiwami, specializes in kendo. Plucky Comic Relief: Top Joy, specializes in basketball. Sixth Ranger: GZ , specializes in ice hockey. A former Iron Soldier, like Magnum. Might be considered The Lancer No.3. | |

| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Bull Armor as his Berserk Button had caused him to destroy his friends. This is also the reason why he hesitated to join Silver Castle in the first place. Magnum Ace also suffers from one as his 44 Sonic is finally defeated by Jurota, who called him out since Magnum is too frustrated by his arm injury. Played for Laughs in episode 30, when GZ finds out he has to babysit and promptly suffers a complete mental meltdown. | |

Mauve Shirt: Silver Castle's Silky. He's just an off-color version of the most standard Iron Leaguer model, but his status as a founding member of the team and their go-to goalkeeper mean he ends up having a surprising amount of screentime and personality, if not quite enough to be a proper main character. | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: It is repeatedly mentioned that a Leaguer's power is not just their initial build and specs, but also their state of mind: only their love of and concentration on the game will grant them power that exceed scripted specs or calculations. Later on we find out that Magnum Ace, the Fighter Brothers and Ryuken have prototype reactors inside them which will boost them to full power once they affirm their personality and mentality. Special mention goes to Jurota, who tries to find a mental state which can let him counter opponents' moves, even though he's just a robot. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: For some reason, Silver Castle almost never plays with any team outside of those controlled by the Dark Organization. Sometimes they fight the very same team twice or three times in a row. They do play with other teams, but they're usually shown with just a few scenes and words, not more than half an episode at most. Their "war" against the Dark Organization is the major plot of the series, after all. | |

Tears from a Stone | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_5e4cb57a | comment |
Tears from a Stone: In episode 40, after Top Joy performs a Heroic Sacrifice, Magnum is shown with rainwater trickling down his face and from his eyes while he gives a hotblooded Rousing Speech to the remaining team members. Note that he had his visor on at that time and it should've been virtually impossible for rainwater to spill underneath it, so whether this is all symbolism or Magnum actually shed a few Manly Tears will forever remain a mystery. Actually, Top Joy himself has been shown with teary eyes in a few episodes, and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Magnum suffers from it hard during the baseball matches against Dark Swan by abusing his Limit Break despite serious injury from doing it too much. Gold Arm does it too. Apparantly, no pitcher in this show knows how to pitch a curveball. To be fair, 44 Sonic is their best bet for keeping their opponent from scoring. And any ball slower than that can be easily defeated. | |

Chasing a Shadow: Girochi tries to find Ricardo Ginjou, who was supposed to be dead after a lab accident, to help him finish the unfinished Leaguer engine. Turns out he is really Not Quite Dead. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Napalm Head. For some reason, nobody cares to rebuild him. Well, new Leaguers rolled out every time and then, and Seagal despises him and Gold Brothers anyway. While none of the main characters die (despite an EXTREMELY high number of close calls), generic Leaguers often get gruesomely massacred. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: As the show continues, less crashing happens, and the genre slowly swaps fronm Blood Sport to a typical shonen anime like Captain Tsubasa and Inazuma Eleven. Justified, since various Leaguers learn to play fair and clean, and even the Big Bad gradually accepts this way of playing games, making for a less bloody affair on the field. Darker and Edgier: Anything related to the interstellar war and its relations with Iron League itself, boy GZ was so hurt by that. | |

Something We Forgot | |
| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_dc3d72e6 | comment |
Something We Forgot: Silkey and others (the initial members of Silver Castle), at one point, think they've become stronger after the other seven arrive, and forget how they're supposed to play with spirit as they did before. The coach calls them out on this, and they decide to accept Seagal's challenge against his Shark Suits. The match ends with them severely injured and unable to play in Dark Prince's last game, but they recalled their spirit and keep working hard as a part of the team until the end. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Magnum Ace, put as a reserve, appears and prevents the opposing team from getting a goal. No one expects this, not even the manager. The Gold Brothers pull this off occasionally after the first arc. Episode 41 has all the wandering Leaguers they met in the Java arc (in addition to the Gold Brothers) come to Silver Castle's aid. | |

War Is Hell: GZ was deeply mentally scarred from his experience on the interstellar battlefield. You'd be traumatized too if you were forced to kill your teammate after the mission was complete (as he is pointing his weapon at you), or if you had to drain your companion's oil in order to survive long enough to get back to base. | |

| Shippu! Iron Leaguer / int_f21d434a | comment |
New Job as the Plot Demands: It's really easy to forget that Silver Castle is just supposed to be a soccer team, a fact that actually gets lampshaded at one point. While soccer is still the main star, they end up in a plethora of matches ranging from ice hockey to boxing, and most of their members were built for unrelated sports (in fact, the main character himself is a baseball player). | |

Great Offscreen War: We know for a fact that there's a war going on in space. But this is a show about sports, so it's never really focused on. Though the war does factor into the backstory of several characters, and the fact that "retired" Iron Leaguers are repurposed into Iron Soldiers is a plot point. | |
