The Law of Ueki



THE SUMMARY

The story starts out with the Battle of the Supernatural Powers, a tournament to decide on who will be the next god of Heaven.

100 God Candidates has to choose a junior high school students to act as their fighter and given a unique power in order to eliminate as many enemies as possible from the tournament. The victorious and last one will be the next New God of Heaven and receive the Blank Talent, which is a talent that can be anything they wish and choose.

However in this story, Ueki Kosuke is focused as the main character who is a student of the Hinokuni Junior High School, is picked by a God Candidate Kobayashi to participate in this tournament. Embodied with the ability to turn garbage into trees, his journey begins as he has decided to to encounter and battle those who wish to use the Blank Talent for its evil purpose and win this tournament to keep that power from those that would abuse such a gift.

At the same time, he befriends some ability users during his journey. And they makes themselves as Team Ueki into the final tournament.

WHAT IS TOURNAMENT?

Initially, fights in the tournament consists of a battle between two ability users and only one shall win by knocking the other opponent out. Once the knock-out is confirmed, then the loser shall lose his/her power and the winner shall gain another new talent, which is a talent of some sort. For those who has lost a fight, she/he shall be disqualified and her/his power will be "sleeping" forever.

The rule for the participants of the tournament revolve around the talents:
• Never use any power against non-ability users or they will lose one talent for each hit.
• Once the ability user loses all the talents, then she/he will disappear.
• Knocking another ability user out, the ability user will gain another new talent.

Note: If for any reason both contestants become unconscious at the same time, then it's a draw - No talents will be gained and no powers are lost. The contestants must be knocked out within 5 seconds of each other, or the last contestant wins.

There are also rules which apply to the God Candidates. The punishment for breaking them is that the candidate is sent to Hell.
• Not allowed to interfere within the battle between the ability users, meaning that the God Candidate can never provide their ability users with more supplies to use their power or save them from dying.
• Only allowed to grant a power to one individual.

Almost near the end of the tournament, ability users proceed into the next stage of the tournament which they can form a group of five for "battle royale" - style fighting. Being knocked out during this stage doesn't result in losing powers but each team is given a penalty if it loses, such as having all of the members die or losing their hair in addition to losing their powers.

The reward for this tournament is the Blank Talent, a device is used to measure the growth in power that each participant has shown from the beginning to the end of the tournment. And in order to decide who is to become King of the Celestial World, the winning team has to vote which one of the candidates should be given that honor.

When I first bought this anime, I thought it's just a children television show but I found out that I was totally WRONG! This anime is quite interesting story. This story don't focus on mostly of fights. Especially for Ueki Kosuke who is a genuinely idiot... -___- He is often seen like he don't care what will happen to him and also his reaction is so d*mn slow but he really come to friend's rescue when his friends are at the stake of DANGER! Not only his friends, he cares for people around him and even he also save Robert Hayden who is trying to hurt him from falling debris in Doguro Mansion! He really means to value everything around him!

This anime has some sense of comedy which provoke my sense into laughing! I really like when some characters always coming to do the things straight without setting any plan, but the outcome is really pretty good. It's because the character has own unique ability plus their own creativity on setting their own plan. But when it comes to co-operation, they can't make it so perfect like how they set their own plan... I feel like wanna LOL when see them quarreling over this or that failure. I think it's a bit similiar to Superman.

Now the second sequel of THE LAW OF UEKI: T
he Law of Ueki Plus is out! I will update you with some reviews on the Law of Ueki Plus in near future. Come back here ya..
