In a packed stadium under the L.A. lights, the Dodgers’ new superstar launched a 500-foot home run—yes, FIVE HUNDRED FEET—in the third inning of his first home game. The ball soared like a meteor, crashing into the upper deck like something out of a Marvel movie.

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” the play-by-play announcer screamed. Fans in the outfield barely moved—they were too stunned to react.

And as if that wasn’t enough? Ohtani debuted a brand-new walk-up song: “Godzilla” by Blue Öyster Cult—a perfect nod to his larger-than-life presence. “It’s a mindset,” Ohtani said afterward with a smile. “I want to feel like a monster out there.”

Twitter went berserk. “That ball is in orbit.” “Shohei just broke physics.” Even Mike Trout chimed in with a gif of someone fainting.
