It's only the biggest comeback in Climax Series history.*
If the Tigers didn't give up when they needed to win their last six games just to get into the postseason, no surprise that attitude carried over here.
^* ^NPB ^has ^only ^had ^a ^postseason ^playoff ^setup ^since ^2004, ^and ^the ^Central ^League ^didn't ^implement ^it ^till ^2007

Yeah, they have been amazing lately.
^(I'm a Fighters fan and August was the worst month ever.)

I wonder if Japanese sports fans have a version of the "blew a 3-1 lead" meme.
7-1
Somewhat similar as a scoreboard / games won meme, ‘33-4’ is a really popular (and quite old) one for them - from the 2005 Japan Series when the Hanshin Tigers was swept and clobbered by the Chiba Lotte Marines with a total score of 33-4.
Dunno if they have a ‘blew a lead’ meme.
