The All-Japan Women's Volleyball training camp lasted two and a half days.
The players had completed all scheduled activities without issue, but the work of the behind-the-scenes staff wasn’t over yet.
In fact, analyzing the records and practice footage left behind by the players to help them become even stronger—that’s when the real work begins.
And yet, the staff found themselves holding their heads in frustration over the data left behind by one particular “girl” (question mark very much intentional).

"Speaking from a medical standpoint, I’ll say it clearly: these results are impossible. Based on muscle fiber structure alone, they shouldn’t be achievable."
Even among Japan’s elite training center staff, a renowned sports doctor known for his genius had already thrown in the towel.
"As a trainer, I’ll say this: if someone can produce results like this with that kind of diet and training regimen, then we might as well pack up and go home."
Now a top-tier trainer representing Japan had also declared defeat.
Before them lay a stack of papers—a full set of records for the monster known as Yuuri Tachibana.
Day 2 of the training camp.
One of the staff had her try a heptathlon to assess her overall athletic ability.
Ordinarily, this would be spread over two days. But she did it in half a day—and with gear that was far from top-of-the-line. Even the shoes weren’t anything special.
And despite that, she pulled off something ridiculous.
The first event was the 100-meter hurdles.
To be blunt, her form was nowhere near clean. A professional trainer would find nothing but inefficiencies and points for improvement. Her shoes, loaned from the training center, were cheap by pro athlete standards—less than 20,000 yen a pair.
And yet she clocked 12.92 seconds. Not a world record, but it was a new Japanese national record.
According to her own (admittedly unverified) claim, her personal best in the 100 meters is 10.50 seconds.
The staff were already reeling from the opening event—but it was the second that truly shattered their common sense.
High jump.
She apparently couldn’t do the Fosbury Flop (the standard back-first jump). Understandable—falling onto your back takes courage if you’re not trained. So she used the scissors jump—a method most kids use.
Even so, she cleared 180 cm.
Sure, the height wasn’t a record—not even close to world or national level—but she didn’t use the proper technique. And she still jumped 20 cm higher than her own height. A few staff members genuinely began to question their sanity.
Then came shot put, 200m sprint, long jump, javelin, and the 800m.
At one point, she casually set a new women's world record in long jump, clearing over 8 meters.
She finished all seven events.
And in every single one, her form was inefficient and amateurish—yet every result was on par with existing women’s world records.
Her final heptathlon score: over 8,000 points.
Japan’s women’s national record is just under 6,000.
The world record is only a bit over 7,000.
Some of the staff, having witnessed this feat firsthand, seriously suggested she switch to track and field.
She refused without a second thought.
And just to top it all off, her body measurements: 156 cm tall, 49 kg.
No one would ever guess that this frame was capable of those kinds of numbers.
Medically speaking, she looked like any slightly skinny, moderately active teenage girl.
Urine tests, blood work, breath tests, body fat, everything—all within normal ranges. Aside from her absurd athletic ability, there was nothing unusual. Physically, she was an ordinary high school girl; performance-wise, she was beyond world-class.
No traces of performance-enhancing drugs were found.
So… what were they supposed to do with this untouchable, inexplicable being?
"At this point, all we can do is wait for the genetic test results. I’m honestly hoping it comes back with something like, 'This monster is not human.'"
"Hey now, that’s a bit much, isn’t it?"
"Then how else do you explain this? Actually, I’d even take 'she’s a modified human created by some secret evil organization.'"
"Well, at the very least, the MRI and CT scans showed no signs of any mechanical implants."
"Then we’re out of options."
Later, the staff had a brief debate over whether to release these results to the public. The final decision?
"Even if we did, no one would believe us. And if we tried to lie about it, the numbers are too outrageously insane to pass off."
And so, Yuuri Tachibana’s world-record-breaking heptathlon score of 8,425 points quietly disappeared into the void—forever hidden from the public eye.
