Tomoki Sakai is a first-year middle schooler considers diving to be his only source of freedom, though he's not particularly good at it. Unfortunately, Mizuki Diving Club (MDC), the diving club he belongs to, has been threatened with rumors of closure by the parent company. Things seem bleak, until a new coach, Kayoko Asaki, arrives and promises the Mizuki executives that MDC will send one of their members to the next Olympics in a year's time in order to save the club.DIVE!! is a four-book series written from 2000 to 2002 by Eto Mori. It had a shonen manga series serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 2007-2008, but picked up another one later in the seinen magazine Young Ace. It began serialization in July 2017 and ultimately ran for 3 volumes by 2018. An anime series by Zero-G started airing in July 2017 on the noitaminA block.Outside of 2D, the book series inspired a few live adaptations; a live-action film released in 2008, and a stage play in 2018. | |

Shibuki is a direct descendant of a line of fishers who would ritually jump into the ocean as a means of appeasing the deities who ruled the waters they've been fishing in, until the practice was abandoned in more recent times due to the obvious reasons. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: It turns out that Ryou is this for Tomoki, who despite not being a very good diver gets attention from Coach Fujitani, Youichi, and their new coach Kayoko. | |

| DIVE!! / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: ... and quite often at that. The show repeatedly points out that success is something that can only be achieved by those who are willing to make sacrifices, such as friendship and even love. The relationship between Tomoki and Miu gradually shatters to pieces in no small part due to Tomoki being simply neglectful and insensitive towards her. Episode 7 shows the consequences of (reckless) Training from Hell. After having been the best among diver in his year even without putting in much effort, Ryou was utterly caught off guard by by Tomoki's sudden improvements, which is the real reason he became envious of him. Having spent years on perfecting himself for his diving career, Youichi is burdened in several aspects of life, most notably his dietary habits resulted in him gradually developing anorexia, as well as a heavily implied inferiority complex. Also, he never dated a girl. Being The Ace Bishounen, Youichi is expected by the higher ups to take the role in a commercial. Because it is so cheesy and he believes it to be part of the reason why he was selected for the Olympics team, Youichi doesn't want to take part in it. | |

| DIVE!! / int_260926c3 | comment |
Atsuhiko whenever he interacts (read: tries to beat him in something, anything at all, at least for once) with Youichi. Ironically, Youichi himself flat-out stated that Atsuhiko surpasses him in all fields. Too bad Atsuhiko is such a Nervous Wreck that those advantages are only good on paper. | |

Stock Shonen Hero: Ryou criticizes this type of character in the anime's fourth episode, mentioning that it's always the player that runs on The Power of Friendship that wins in fiction, but being that This Is Reality, it's not likely to happen. | |

Heroic Lineage | |
| DIVE!! / int_97838192 | comment |
Heroic Lineage: Not as epic as it sounds. Youichi is the ace of the club, and his parents are both prominent divers. (His father was a former Olympian and his mother was considered the "Madonna" of the diving world.) Shibuki is a direct descendant of a line of fishers who would ritually jump into the ocean as a means of appeasing the deities who ruled the waters they've been fishing in, until the practice was abandoned in more recent times due to the obvious reasons. | |

Setting Update: The original novels outright state that the year was 1999 and that the MDC was aiming for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The second manga adaptation, and probably the anime, changed the Olympics' location to Tokyo, probably referring to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. | |
