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!
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO EAT
-I'm the boss! -We'll see about that!
Ryujin Middle School, Mitsuko Ito, takes charge of Nishisan-ku.
You buffoon.
Hitomi Middle School, Tomoyo Umeda.
I'm in charge!
This is so exciting!
Quit waving those toys.
Asuka Kuraku.
Asuka, ousting Zenchura don't mean you rule Nishi-ku!
The one who rules Nishi-ku...
must prove their ability!
You bitch!
When you're playing among friends, don't pick fights that hurt your face.
It's a physical conflict.
It's a matter of time...
before Zenchura comes back.
I'll establish an Independent Sukeban Federation to confront them.
It's not about who rules and who is ruled.
But the right strategy enables the weak to conquer the strong.
Or so they say.
I'll be at Taizan Academy.
ZENCHURA ALL-JAPAN MIDDLE SCHOOL COVERT GROUP
ZENCHURA LEADER HIBARI
GREAT TEN ZENCHURA LEADER FURINKAZAN
GREAT TEN ZENCHURA LEADER KURENAI
Nishisan-ku, the only territory
Zenchura hasn't fully conquered in Nishi-ku,
is on the command of Kurenai.
Kurenai.
Maybe this task was far too much for you to bear.
Please, grant me another chance!
Ranjuku!?
I beg your forgiveness, Queen Hibari!
DISCIPLINARY UNIT
Queen Hibari!
Start all over, Kurenai.
Anything but Ranjuku, please!
Queen Hibari!
GREAT TEN ZENCHURA LEADERS
RANJUKU RE-EDUCATION CENTER KURENAI
We, the Furinkazan, can conquer Nishisan-ku ourselves.
Not so fast, Furinkazan!
One Secret Sukeban Leader will lead in Nishi-ku.
I, Aoi, will take over this responsibility.
In just weeks, Zenchura seized control of most of Nishi-ku.
Hibari led the organization with an ironclad grip.
MIKO, THE STRAY SUKEBAN
Asuka!
Wait up, Asuka!
-I told you to wait, didn't I!? -What is it?
Face me!
-What'd you want, eccentric? -What did you call me!?
-You fiend! -Well, sorry!
You make it difficult to get along.
Well, that's rich. You're the one stalking me around.
Are you serious about this war?
Sure am.
You're still unfamiliar with Zenchura!
Maybe being unfamiliar is the key to beating them.
You'll get hurt!
I can stand the pain,
but I just can't stand Zenchura sitting on top.
We're very much alike in a way.
At a distance.
You peabrain. Our characters couldn't be more different.
Snotty brat!
Still, it really suits you.
Muttonhead! Twit!
Shut it!
I'm so bored...
I can't stand being alone.
Hey, there, sweetheart...
Wanna have some fun with us?
C'mon, man, she's just a kid.
Dorks!
But I can't stand being under the thumb of someone I don't like
even more!
Asuka...
Asuka, dinner's ready!
My...!
Whenever you're in slumber, you're my little angel.
Oh, right!
Asuka's gasping with excitement!
I knew you'd like it!
Asuka...
What is she thinking?
Asuka!
-Asuka. -What is it?
How's the Independent Federation of Sukebans going?
-It's going well. -How many have you recruited?
None yet.
So the ducks weren't the best of the bunch.
Actually, the best of the bunch was a leek.
You must be Mitsuko Ito. Class 2A, Ryujin Middle School.
You better not boss me around.
Each of us is a leader, forming our own team.
All to prevent Zenchura from staining Nishisan-ku.
So we can think of it as a coalition of equals?
All I'm after are soul mates.
HAVE THE WISH FOR SOULMATES
Okay, consider me in.
Mitsuko!
Mitsuko Ito...
She didn't suffer serious injuries.
That's good.
But what was that!?
Asuka, you're still not acquainted with Zenchura.
I'm not.
That was Kamaitachi.
Kamaitachi?
Asuka!
AOI
-Who did this? -Dunno, it's been there since morning.
I can't read it...
Did you graduate from elementary?
Oh, buzz off.
It says, "Aoi."
I knew it!
Seriously? You normally bring your soul mates into the bathroom?
Just get it over with.
Get your mind out of the gutter. This place's secure from leaks.
One of the Zenchura Great Ten
uses a technique called "Kamaitachi."
But nobody has caught a glimpse of them.
They go by "Aoi."
This Sukeban Leader governs most of the districts in Nishisan-ku.
Kurenai's nothing in comparison.
Any Independent Sukeban would be scared by her mere presence.
I have faith in them. After all, they're the leaders of Nishisan-ku.
They don't like the Toshiro from yesterday or today.
Toshiro?
I'm talking about you!
The thing about Independent Sukebans,
they lack spirit, so they play tough to compensate.
So, that'd also make you a lonely, cowardly girl.
Shut it, coddled brat!
This ain't no place to bring a burger!
You wanna go, huh!?
Why you...
That hurt, you bitch!
Cease your teenage antics in the bathroom right now!
Asuka urged the Independent Sukeban Federation to resist Zenchura.
However...
Dummy, too much pressure could burst a blood vessel.
Tomoyo, did you call us here?
Why did you gather Nishisan-ku's leaders here?
It wasn't me.
Looks like everyone's here.
It was me.
Miko!
What brings a Stray Sukeban to us?
Aw, don't be like that.
I took good care of you in elementary, didn't I?
Remember when you wet your skirt, and I lent you a pair of pants?
That was back in second grade!
-Oh, shut up. -Seriously?
Remember that meet-up by the gym in fifth grade?
I set that up for you to confess to your crush.
-Tomo. -Yes!
That incident with the lady near the arcade in sixth grade,
you got away with it thanks to me.
You could've gone to juvie for that.
Your folks would've been devastated, wouldn't they?
I really owe you.
Now it's time for you guys to return the favor.
We're all growing old, aren't we?
Everyone here has certainly benefited from you.
I guess since you're in such a bin, we'll have to step up.
Then that settles it!
Help Asuka fulfill the Independent Federation of Sukebans.
No way! Anything but that!
What!? You just said you'd repay me!
Even sneaky slowpokes know how to settle tabs!
Wait, Miko!
We know we owe you, but risking our lives is a no-go.
This is for coalition and power.
-But they used Kamaitachi! -No way we can handle that beast.
Miko, are you and Asuka soul mates?
What'd you say!?
You dopes!
Being an eccentric loner,
I'd choose Asuka over being under the control of those Zenchura jerks.
You're so afraid of Aoi, you can't even watch Mito Komon.
They infiltrated Nishisan-ku.
If we all searched around secretly, it wouldn't be a problem.
No need to search.
What was that?
Show yourself!
It's you...
Great Ten Zenchura Leader...
Aoi.
Look at her. She's got legs. She's just a punk.
Care to face me one-on-one?
You bitch!
Don't take me for a fool!
-Miko! -Miko!
Take this!
Is that all you've got?
Shut your trap!
Asuka...
Hold it!
My hatred is reserved for just one.
Asuka Kuraku!
I guess no one's turning up in the end.
The thing about Independent Sukebans,
they lack spirit, so they play tough to compensate.
I can't believe those guys chickened out too.
That freak Aoi's waiting for you at the warehouse!
Miko...
I wonder if your soul mate will show up.
Don't use the word "soul mate" so lightly!
A soul mate
is like a completely reliable best friend!
What middle-schooler in this era has a soul mate!?
It's a cold world out there, isn't it?
Don't come, Asuka!
You can't beat this monster!
Asuka Group, present!
-Asuka! -You sneaky little rat!
We kids have always been known to be sneaky.
Some folks overlook and forget!
Then let's see how you handle this.
So, these are Kamaitachi users.
The name "Aoi" represents our group of three sisters.
But that revelation doesn't undermine our techniques.
We'll see about that.
Tsugi, Sue!
Way to go, Asuka!
Shut your trap!
How can you still celebrate after ditching your soulmate!?
Exactly! You guys are on a roll.
You really are an idiot.
Who still buys into that soul mate nonsense?
Shut it. It's my choice.
Seriously, my bag's wrecked, and my hair's butchered.
All thanks to you, you fiend!
Clean your ugly mug before you start whining to me!
Excuse you? And whose fault was that!?
You can't just easily grab it.
Seriously, who believes in that soul mate crap nowadays?
Pay attention when people are talking to you!
I've got more pressing issues.
What issue could be more important than friendship?
A 24-karat gold coin!
It's 24-karat gold!?
Girls, don't just stand there, help her find it!
That coin's 24-karat gold!
Asuka Kuraku turned out better than expected.
The tougher the enemy, the more fun.
Found it!
