The movie is based on a manga named 'Crow' but it doesn't follow the story line of the manga instead its two years before the manga starts so it tells the story of what happened at Suzuran All Boys High school in the past. The movie is about Takiya Genji who transfers into the Suzuran All Boys High school, a school where all the delinquents end up after no other school will take them in. Takiya Genji transfers there on his last year of high school with the goal of taking over Suzuran but the task proves to be more than difficult as the school is a war ground where every one has the same goal and to take over the school one has to beat the Serizawa Army who is lead by Tamao Serizawa nicknamed 'The Beast'. Serizawa at the moment that Genji transfers is the closest to taking over the school. Being hot headed Genji goes directly to Tamao Serizawa for a fight but is stopped by Tokio, who is Genji's childhood friend and a part of Serizawa Army. Genji is told by Tokio to take down Rindaman before challenging Serizawa. Rindaman is a giant and has never been beaten by anyone, he ends up ignoring Genji as he doesn't see him as much of a fight. After some random events Genji comes into contact with Ken Katagiri, a failed Yakuza member who's dream when he was younger was to take over Suzuran, seeing as Genji's fighting potential he starts mentoring Genji on how to take over the school. With Katagiri's misguided help Genji rises rapidly into power at Suzuran, but even seeing as he rises to power Serizawa ignores him out of concern for Tokio. One of the Serizawa Army 'generals' Tokaji decides not to ignore Genji and takes action on his own provoking Genji but he is stopped by members of his own army, before doing anything stupid. Later its found out that Tokio has a cerebral aneurysm and has only a 30% chance of survival if he undergoes surgery. Tokio decides to continue on going to school because he wants to be able to fight when the big battle between Genji and Serizawa happens. Tokaji again covertly attack the Serizawa Army using The Armoured Front for kidnapping provoking Genji and his Army to attacking. As they fight they find that The Armoured Front did not in fact kidnap anyone but it was Tokaji laying a trap. Upon finding out that Tokaji had been playing dirty tricks behind his back Serizawa punishes him and accepts Genji's proposal for a final battle. The GPS (Genji's Perfect Seiha Army) and Serizawa Army face off even though the Genji Army is clearly outnumbered. While the battle goes on, Tokio was convinced to go on with the surgery and is being operated leaving the fight to Serizawa. The battle seems like it has been lost by Genji but The Armoured Front joins the battle along with GPS and the tides change. By the end of the battle only Tamao Serizawa and Takiya Genji are left standing and the outcome of the battle is left to them. The battle is won and the victor goes on to fight Rindaman. Not saying who won because that a bit of a spoil.
Okay, so that is not even half of all that happens in the movie I summarized mostly the war parts but there is so much more going on than just the battle and so many more characters that I did not mention that have a huge part in the story but if I retold the whole movie this would be three times too long! This movie I really enjoyed a lot it had a lot of action and an equal amount of laughs it was great I really enjoyed watching it, so much that I ended up watching the second movie directly after and reading the first 6 volumes of the manga because I wanted to know what ended up happening after all the dust settled. I recommend it if you like fighting movies since its not like some fighting movies where the story line falls flat behind the fighting. Needless to say the movie was great the way they showed you why Serizawa was nicknamed 'The Beast' leaves you with your mouth hanging open then rolling over in laughter, I just loved it. Yes, so from fear of making this any longer.....
Matane!
