Sarumaru's already won the war that matters: he proved a kid with a handmade stick beats every polished assassin Mr. X could send. This season is what comes after the establishment breaks itself trying to stop him. That's the rarer story in sports anime, the one that doesn't pretend victory means joining the system that nearly killed you.

Shin Pro Golfer Saru is the second season of the 1985 sports anime Pro Golfer Saru, airing in 1988 as a ten-episode TV run. The first season introduced Sarumaru, a wild country boy living with his mother and five siblings who calls himself a professional golfer and plays betting rounds with a driver he made himself. His skill caught the eye of Mr. X, the hidden power behind the golf world, who sent his own golfers against the boy in an attempt to control him.
