As the adults basked in tranquility,
the young girls were plunged straight into the Sengoku period.
The national Bancho federation, Zenchura,
had launched a reign of terror and violence,
swiftly seizing control of 80 percent of the middle schools nationwide.
However, one girl rose against the tide, ready to crush their evil ambitions.
Her name was Asuka Kuraku.
Asuka Group, present!
THE GLORIOUS ASUKA GROUP!
I guess ice cream novices should stick to flavors like vanilla or chocolate.
For us experts, we prefer complex three-tiered triples.
That's nothing to brag about.
One ice cream has 136 calories,
so a triple contains 408 calories.
-You should try something healthier. -What was that!?
Let's get going!
Who gave you permission to dye your hair?
Do I need your approval every time I want to dye my hair?
This is trendy in New York.
New York, huh?
Gimme a break!
You best not stand out too much in this town.
-Live life seriously! -Fix your hair!
Hold it!
IN A FLASH! A FLAMING TRANSFER STUDENT
Asuka?
This brings me back!
John Wayne's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon!
I used to watch this old war drama with your father.
Whenever there was danger,
the righteous soldiers would come to the rescue!
They were on the side of justice.
The Yellow Ribbon song is so good!
For crying out loud...
TAIZAN ACADEMY
All rise.
Bow.
-Good morning! -Good morning!
I have a new friend for you all today.
Shoko Sakurai.
-Ms. Sakurai, take a seat over there. -Yes, sir.
Due to her father's job, she spent some time living abroad.
You all should try to learn English from her.
Strong dogs don't often exhibit their fangs.
But when they do, it signals their readiness to face death.
The leaders of Nishiyon-ku were attacked by a new face.
A girl who abruptly aimed to incinerate them using a flamethrower.
A new face?
Our ongoing investigation is focused on Shoko Sakurai,
a recent transfer to Taizan Academy.
A stranger disrupting the order of the town.
Unsightly.
ELIMINATE SHOKO SAKURAI...
GREAT TEN ZENCHURA LEADER MIROKU
At your services.
We're in trouble, Asuka.
Battles lacking strategy quickly reach a deadlock.
It's like waking a sleeping lion.
The flamethrower girl appears, yet Zenchura remains idle?
I see what you mean.
Asuka, you should keep your distance from her.
Or else, you won't escape divine consequences.
There she comes, the divine figure.
Asuka!
I gotta look into her.
Let me handle it my way today.
What are you so afraid of?
Afraid?
Nothing fazes me, especially with this formidable ally in my grasp.
You used to live in America, right?
How about we do a Western-style duel?
Why do I have to play along with you?
It's a serious game!
You use that thing,
and I'll use this thing.
Life's worth isn't tied to a weapon's cost.
If that so-called flamethrower isn't just a flashy toy,
then let's play along!
Oh no! She's gonna be roasted like a pig!
-Don't! -How come!?
Don't you trust Asuka? She's trying to communicate with her.
Why challenge me to a duel that you're destined to lose?
Can't deal with someone being stronger than you?
I heard a scream and had to check if it was you.
Some time ago, my once soul mate unexpectedly went bad
and confronted me.
You're the one going to hell, Asuka!
Nobody can stand against Zenchura!
And at that moment, she was screaming on the inside.
"Save me, Asuka." "Save me from this hell."
But I was oblivious.
Take this...
The side of justice...
didn't come to our aid.
I heard a scream yesterday when you used your flamethrower.
It was a cry for help. And it was yours.
On the count of five, we turn around.
Got it?
Age is catching up to me.
Maybe that plea for help was all in my head.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Who goes there!?
You're the guys from yesterday!
I'm here to repay you for this burn!
You wanna get burned well-done?
Asuka, get out of the way.
This is Nishisan-ku. I can't stay uninvolved!
What was that!?
Begone, you simpletons.
Yes, ma'am!
Seems like I've come to the right place.
What's with you? Doesn't anyone at Zenchura speak normally?
It's a pity you can't grasp the value of cherishing elegance.
My next step is piercing a hole
in that beautiful face of yours.
In position!
Present!
I'll withdraw for now, but remember,
my principle is to see things through to the end
once I'm involved.
We will meet again!
-Asuka! -Asuka!
Why didn't you help Asuka when she was protecting you?
Is that piece of iron just a toy? What about your spunk yesterday?
Enough, Miko.
It's fine.
Fights are scary, hesitation is only natural.
Now, she's experienced human pain firsthand.
ANYONE WHO DOESN'T RESPECT OTHERS...
HAS NO RIGHT TO PICK A FIGHT
No, you're wrong!
The taste won't be as good as a real burger, though.
Don't be silly. Burgers taste the same everywhere.
America, huh. That's nice.
That song you're always humming is The Yellow Ribbon, right?
I watch a lot of John Wayne westerns on LaserDisc.
That's all hogwash.
The legend of our heroes is already dead!
I used to have a good friend over there,
she was a year younger than me.
We went downtown one day.
It was a dangerous part,
but it was meant to be our little adventure.
Next thing we knew,
a group of bad men surrounded us...
and she ended up getting hurt.
One day, I visited her in the hospital...
That's when...
She was on the bed, humming the yellow ribbon song.
Over, and over again...
The Yellow Ribbon?
Ever heard of the cavalry in those westerns?
John Wayne would swoop in on his horse
when danger was afoot.
So he's an ally of justice.
That's all but gone now.
Allies of justice.
I get the feeling we're alike.
But pointing a weapon at an unarmed foe
isn't John Wayne's style.
You mean this?
You also use a weapon. That gold coin, right?
This carries the hearts of all my soul mates.
Kinda like a melodramatic tale.
It must sound like a poor reason to someone who grew up in America.
When the time is right, you should get rid of that weapon.
Eventually, those flames will come to haunt you.
She's just like John Wayne.
Harumi!
Nishisan-ku is too much for you.
Shoko's in danger!
-What's the rush? -Shoko's in danger!
I saw Shoko heading in that direction.
You idiot, why didn't you follow her!?
What the hell, man!?
Dispose of that hazardous toy!
Prepare for a suitable punishment
to ensure that you never do that again.
Hold it!
Asuka!
Nishisan-ku,
Taizan Academy, Asuka Kuraku.
Asuka Group, present!
Zenchura won't have it their way in Nishisan-ku!
In that case, I will make you pay for your sins!
You're on!
Take care of Shoko!
Don't lay a finger on her!
This is gonna be a Taiman.
Anything else is a coward's move!
TAIMAN ONE-ON-ONE FIGHT
-Give me everything you've got! -I'm taking you on seriously!
What's the matter? Then, I'll pay my respects right here!
What are you doing, Asuka!?
Why isn't she using her coin?
I have no idea.
Drop the act and put your coin to use!
Asuka...
You threw away your weapon...
Asuka!
Take it!
I'm going back to America.
How will you manage without your flamethrower?
I don't need it anymore.
Though our time was short, I consider you guys friends.
In fact, we're soul mates.
It's not much, but this is for you.
Thanks, guys!
When I return, I'll spread the word!
About the Legendary Asuka Kuraku!
Once again, a girl bids farewell to Nishisan-ku,
bearing the essence of Asuka in her heart.
Asuka's influence steadily extends
to all under the heavens.

Love eludes me when we exchange smiles

Tell him next time Won't you kiss me?
