Teppachi! introduces Hiroshi, a former high school rugby ace whose self-centered and aggressive play led to injury and isolation. After a carefree post-graduation life, his world crumbles when a fight gets him fired from a construction job and unpaid rent leads to eviction. Desperate, Hiroshi encounters a man offering an ideal opportunity: a job with a full dorm and meals, perfect for his physical prowess. The offer is to join the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, tasked with defending national peace and security. Though initially resistant, Hiroshi reluctantly becomes a trainee. Faced with relentless and grueling training, he gradually realizes this challenging path is, in fact, his true calling, setting him on a journey of profound personal transformation.
