____________________________Introduction______________________________________
Shiritsu Justice Gakuen: Legion of Heroes is a 3D graphics fighting game,
first released in Japan late in 1997. The game boasted a dynamic,
uncharacteristic (of CAPCOM) cast of characters, an intricate storyline,
and most importantly, very workable gameplay reminiscent of X-Men VS. Street
Fighter on a Tekken-like frame that belied Capcom's past misfirings at 3D
fighting games. Adding more to the popularity was the inclusion of the
fighting schoolgirl Sakura, from the Street Fighter Zero/Alpha series, as a
hidden character. The following year, a US version barely localized was
released in limited areas under the title Rival Schools: United By Fate
in arcades. The game slowly built a cult following afterward, which grew even
more with the release of the game on the Playstation console in 1998.
The home version included not only an Arcade Disk that contained all the
action, endings, demos, and such of the arcade version, but an extra Evolution
Disk, which, in the Japanese version, contained a mode called "Nekketsu
Seishun Nikki (Hot-Blooded Youth Diary)" in which one takes a character of
the player's own creation on his or her path through one year of school.
Along the way, one would encounter various activities that would determine
the moves the character would use upon the end of the year's term. The
friendships one could make along the way with the game's cast also had a
bearing on one's end result. This yielded several extra games such as the
Gorin Sports Festival mini-games and the Burning Examinations. This mode
added a lot of replay value to a game that could very well have run out of
it, but unfortunately the mode was eschewed from the US release, save the
mini-games. A group of lame pre-edit characters to be unlocked were put in
the place of the missing Nekketsu Seishun Nikki; for Rival Schools fans, this
wasn't a very fair trade off. The Evolution Disk also contained new super
attacks and special moves for certain characters to make them more "complete";
both disks added extra outfits for Natsu, Tiffany, and Hinata, as well as two
completely new characters, Daigo and Hayato. Of another issue was the
sometimes provocative issues tackled in the story mode (i.e. Roy's anti-
Japanese sentiment, etc.), when ported to the US and Europe, these things
were horribly removed (all direct references to Japan were taken out, yet
one could clearly hear Roy say things such as "Japanese Business Man!" to
Hideo even under the Kana-ized English). The "What You Didn't See" sections
of this document will address these issues.
Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2, a one-disc update to the Evolution Disk, not an
official sequel, was released in the summer of 1999. This game added two more
characters to the fray, Ran and Nagare, as well as new minigames, including
the infamous Doki-Waku-Dance minigame. This game never saw a release on US
shores.
Moero! Justice Gakuen, the official sequel to Shiritsu Justice Gakuen: Legion
Of Heroes was released in 2000 for the arcades, utilizing the Dreamcast-
compatabile NAOMI board. A Dreamcast home version surfaced late in 2000,
almost 3 years to the date of the release of the first of the series in
arcades. The Seishun Nikki mode of the first was replaced with a board
game in which one's own created characters could go on a more random journey
of making friendships and gaining moves. As was the case with the original
Rival Schools, the US-ported sequel, Project Justice removed this addition and
put in lame edit characters to be unlocked in its place. On the other hand,
the US version did do a better job of translating the dialogue this time
around.
Since then, despite some cameos by the Taiyo team in Capcom VS SNK 2, the
Justice Gakuen series has seen no further activity.

School And Character Profiles
==============================================================================
-=Taiyou Gakuen "The School That Loves Freedom"=-
Taiyou Gakuen (Academy) has a middle school and a high school; Batsu and the
others attend the high school. There are about 720 students attending the
high school section. With only six (homeroom) classes to a grade, Taiyou is
a little bit of a small-scale school. The school's motto is "A liberated
school tradition yields carefree students". They have school uniforms, but
they do not raise a fuss about wearing them.
Almost the same number of students that have attended Taiyou since middle
school have gone on to take the written college interview exam and be
accepted. Rather than looking just at grades, the interviews take extra-
curricular activity into account, and a school entrance exam that regards
the student's individuality is also carried out. As mentioned before, the
school's educational objective is "a liberated school tradition yields care-
free students". The plan is to give students freedom in their lives at school.
Profile: Tackling anything with enthusiasm, Taiyou is a normal coed-school with
a burning school spirit. However, lately, that school spirit has been
shadowed...
[Batsu Ichimonji "The Hot Blooded Transfer Student"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: January 1
Zodiac: Capricorn
Blood Type: O
Height: 171 cm
Weight: 64 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 95-72-80 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: ???
(to a certain group of you out there: NOT Natsu!)
(actually the son of Raizo, Justice Gakuen principal)
Home Life: Batsu lives with his mother, Shizuku
Likes: Straight things, ninja, his mother
Dislikes: Dogs (he was bitten by a dog when he was little
and though he can't remember it, the trauma that
came of the incident fuels his dislike), crooked
things, unfair things
Special Talent: Eating fast
Best Subject(s): Physical education
Worst Subject(s): Anything else
Club: He has not joined any club yet.
Part-Time Job: A part time job is prohibited at Taiyou, but before he
sold newspaper and milk in order to help out his
mother.
Personality: Impulsive, foul-mouthed, and belligerent, but at heart
he's got a strong sense of justice. Batsu has a
tender side, a kind heart that shows when he takes
care of his mother. But, because of his tendency to
be forward and rough, Batsu is often misunderstood.
Story: Batsu's mother Shizuku, who raised him alone since he
was a small child, suddenly vanished from her job at
Taiyou. Batsu entered Taiyou in hopes of finding his
missing mother. While investigating, Batsu learned
of a mysterious new school called Justice Gakuen. With
high hopes and a powerful spirit, Batsu enters the fight
to find his missing mother.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Personality: It's seen as a good thing nowadays for
good people to be made fun of by the bad; this sort
of crookedness in today's society fuels Batsu's
anger. His rudeness and belligerent ways leave him
often misunderstood.
Story: Last time around, Batsu was on the hunt for
his kidnapped mother, and ended up confronting
Justice Gakuen, a school led by his real father,
Raizo. Now, a second-year student at Taiyo, Batsu
was given a normal life at school, until the heated
rivalry at the Tai-P (Taiyo-Pacific) Showdown event
caused an uproar and he got caught in the fray while
investigating it.
(About Burning Batsu)
Nickname: "The Super Hot-Blooded Transfer Student"
Story: Having gone under his father Raizo's harsh
training, Batsu takes new techniques into himself.
Batsu has also grown one round greater mentally.
What You Didn't See: Batsu's foulmouthed tendencies were downplayed in both
of the US versions of the game. Batsu often uses
the word "temee" to address others, which is a very
rude and frowned-on way of saying "you".
[Kyousuke (Kyosuke) Kagami "The Mysterious Public Man"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: April 4
Zodiac: Aries
Blood Type: B
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 66 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 95-75-79 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: ???
(actually twin brother to Hyo Imawano)
Home Life: Kyosuke lives alone in a luxury apartment near a
college
Likes: Chess, Shougi (Japanese chess), Mirrors (he looks
at one about 30 minutes each day)
Dislikes: Sweat, hard work
Special Talent: Calligraphy, flower arrangement
Best Subject(s): Math, science
Worst Subject(s): Nothing particular
Club: Member of the moral committee
Part-Time Job: None (school rules prohibit it)
Personality: The opposite of Batsu. Cool and calculating. He
almost never shows his emotions, and each pose
and appearance he takes stands out with his coolness.
He doesn't show it on the outside, but inside he holds
a strong sense of justice. After a pose, he makes it
a habit to touch his glasses with his right hand.
Story: Wherever there's information to find on Batsu's
mother, Kyosuke and Batsu fight together in search
of information. But it looks like Kyosuke has an
important secret that he can't tell Batsu...
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: Now the chairman of the Student Morals
Committee. The younger twin brother to Hyo,
he once was at the other side of his brother's
conspiracy plot, while at the same time helping
it. Now, along with Hinata and Batsu, he is
enveloped in investigating the Tai-P incident.
What You Didn't See: Apparently, Kyosuke has taken up the saxophone, as
indicated in his Moero! Justice Gakuen Nikki board
game ending photo, where he holds up a saxophone
in front of the bonfire.
[Hinata Wakaba "Stormy Highschool Girl"]
Sex: Female
Birthdate: April 12
Zodiac: Aries
Blood Type: O
Height: 155 cm
Weight: 41 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 78-56-78 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: Sakura and Natsu are her close friends
Home Life: Hinata lives with both her parents and an
older sister Asaka, a college student.
Likes: Cake, rare things, hand-to-hand fighting techniques
Dislikes: Dirty things, bugs
Special Talent: Moving her body, karaoke
Best Subject(s): Social studies, Japanese, physical education
Worst Subject(s): Calligraphy (she can't stay still)
Club: She doesn't belong to one officially, but many people
ask for her help in the clubs
Part-Time Job: None (school rules prohibit it)
Personality: She's smart and excels in all sports. Her winning
spirit makes her a bit of a smart-aleck, and curi-
osity makes her a lively, cheerful, modern school-
girl. Her hand to hand techniques possess heavenly
talent, and an excellent fighting sense. Through
training via a correspondence course, her skill
is at the level of those competing in national
tournaments. Because she just can't keep still,
she goes running around off campus after school.
She loves cake and always eats it on the way home
from school.
Story: The rundown of her alma mater Taiyou Gakuen is an
important thing, and she wanted other students to
fight with her, but no one would follow her. Then
Batsu came to move into the downtrodden place. Since
they both have mutual purposes, they seem to be set
to go out together, however in a moment Batsu refuses
Hinata's offer to work with him. But since Hinata
just can't keep still, she goes along with Batsu
against his will.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: She's an eccentric that picked up her skills
in hand to hand fighting from a correspondence course,
but her real skill is in origami. This time around,
she is enveloped in the brouhaha at the Tai-P event
with Batsu and Kyosuke.
What You Didn't See: CAPCOM, in the half-hearted localization of Rival
Schools, erroneously read and romanized Hinata's
surname as "Wakana". This is an easy mistake to make
since the "ba" in Hinata's name (which means "leaf")
looks very similar to a character read "na" that
means "greens" or "vegetables". A similar, and more
glaring error was made with the reading of Gan's
surname (more on that later). In Project Justice,
this error is corrected.
[Ran Hibiki "Scoop Girl"]
Sex: Female
Birthdate: June 1
Zodiac: Gemini
Blood Type: O
Height: 163 cm
Weight: 47 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 80-58-80 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: Member of Taiyou's newspaper staff; she met Kyosuke
through his work in the newspaper
Home Life: N/A
Likes: "Scoops", photographs
Dislikes: Unfairness, unreasonable things, talking about her
own romantic endeavors
Special Talent: Snapping a shot for a scoop, sneaking up on people
(she plans this herself)
Best Subject(s): Japanese language, art
Worst Subject(s): Math, home economics
Club: Newspaper club
Part-Time Job: She doesn't particularly have one; occasionally she
goes out hunting for scoops and takes pictures.
(She hasn't used any of them yet, though...)
Personality: A spirited girl, very much in the same vein as Batsu
and Hayato. She has a high aim to succeed, always
heading toward the the top. A freshman, yet very well
known around Taiyou as the "Scoop Girl". She's often
seen sneaking around looking for the juiciest story
or anything that might look interesting.
Story: "Taiyou Gakuen's First Prize Scoop" is a very influ-
ential prize; the freshman Ran, of the newspaper club,
won't give up on the prize this year, and she tries
for it with all her might. "Danger of the Rapidly
Disappearing Students?! That's It!" Ran begins her
search for the scoop, the threat of the rapid
disappearances...
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: Belongs to the newspaper club. Always walking
around the school with camera in hand, collecting
"scoops". Now, along with Iinchou (Chairperson), and
Boman, who is investigating the Tai-P incident, she
sets out on her new mission: "SUPER SPECIAL INSIDE
STORY! Aiming for a scoop!
What You Didn't See: Ran's first appearance was in Shiritsu Justice
Gakuen: Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2, sort of officially
placing her in the first game's storyline. However,
unless they were ardent fans, US players didn't see
Ran until Project Justice. It seems that Ran's sneak-
iness bristles with Batsu's straightforward antics
on more than one occasion.
[Iinchou (Chairperson) "The Mainstay Of The Class"]
Full Name: "Iinchou" ("Chairperson")
Sex: Female
Birthdate: May 9
Zodiac: Taurus
Blood Type: A
Height: 154 cm
Weight: ?? kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 80-58-79 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Two working parents, a brother 3 years younger, and
a sister 7 years younger
Likes: Teamwork, cooperative unity, her jersey
Dislikes: Teasing someone so they feel left out, spirit photos
Special Talents: Trying her best, being careful, taking the initiative
Best Subject: Japanese (Language/Literature class)
Worst Subject: Physical Education
Club: Welcome Club
Part-Time Job: She doesn't have one, but she's sometimes asked to
help in her neighborhood's shopping district.
Personality: She's adored by everyone in the class; a truly
level-headed individual. Her popularity is so deep
that not only girls, but boys as well acknowledge
her position. She is both responsible and well-
behaved, but not too skilled in sports and hand-
to hand fighting; a normal girl. In front of every-
one she seems quite calm and level-headed, but alone
she becomes quite timid.
Story: To investigate what caused the uproar at the Tai-P
event, she joins Boman of Pacific High School. Along
the way, she joins up with Kyosuke and Hinata in
place of Batsu, who has turned up missing.
What You Didn't See: Iinchou's real name is not ever given in any of the
games. She made her first appearance in Hinata's
"good" ending in the first Rival Schools, and then
took a more prominent (yet non-playable) role in
Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2. When entering school for
the first time she says, "I'm the class chairperson
(iinchou), just call me 'Iinchou'".
[Nekketsu Hayato "The Burning Red Jersey"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: August 15
Zodiac: Leo
Blood Type: O
Height: 191 cm
Weight: 80 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 111-89-92 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: None
Home Life: N/A
Likes: Bright red jerseys, fighting spirit, sexy and nice
women
Dislikes: Disregarding manners, things his parents didn't find
important
Special Talent: Slapping things down with the shinai (bamboo fencing
stick), putting in fighting spirit
Best Subject(s): Physical education
WorstSubject(s): Puzzling subjects
Club: None
Part-Time Job: None (Teachers are prohibited to have part-time jobs)
Personality: Taiyou Gakuen's number one lady killer; as hot-
blooded as his name implies. He developed his own
sense of justice. Corporal punishment was also one
of his own ideas. His students draw a ferocious,
inescapable, unstoppable force from Hayato's own
sense of justice.
Story: When his students at Taiyou were attacked, Hayato
became suspicious of the elite academy, Justice
Gakuen. He joins Batsu, Hinata, and Kyosuke in the
fight, watching over them.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: Hayato is Taiyou's hot-blooded P.E.
instructor. At first he set out to investigate the
riot at the Tai-P event, but later joined up with
Hideo and company to investigate the attack on
Raizo. This time, there's something strange in the
air, behind the scenes as he investigates with them.
What You Didn't See: Sometimes, it's pretty obvious that Hayato is
infatuated with Kyoko (of Justice Gakuen), despite
her connection to Hideo; he makes open reference to
her being attractive in his "good" ending in Rival
Schools. A case of unrequited love?
-=Gorin Koukou "School of Advanced Sports"=-
Gorin is a private school that was established to produce the sporting elite.
Their educational objective, stated quite clearly, is "a healthy mind, a
strong body, and Olympian training". There are about 900 students in the
middle school, and 1800 in the high school.
The Gorin School is an integrated, 6-grade middle and high school whose
central characteristic is cultivating the health of its youth through sports,
while putting "a healthy mind, a strong body, and Olympian training" in the
minds of their students. Because they place sports as a priority, athletic
ability and character decide who enters the school, not the rate of devi-
ation from the entrance exam. There are a lot of people who enter the high
school via scouts that search for outstanding talents scattered all over the
nation that had exhibited national-level athleticism in junior high, and
bring said students in.
Profile: By name, this school is known for being extraordinarily successful
in sporting events. A high school of mutual interest within a group of
students with highly athletic ability drawn from all over the country to win
championships. Outside of sports, Gorin is always looking at Gedou Koukou
with hostility.
[Shouma (Shoma) Sawamura "Explosive Slugger"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: October 10
Zodiac: Libra
Blood Type: O
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 57 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 92-78-80 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: Argues with Natsu (but he secretly likes her)
Home Life: Shoma lives with both his parents, his brother
Shuuichi (3rd year/senior at Gorin), and his
(paternal) grandfather; Shoma's father sent Shuu-
ichi to train at Yakyuu (Baseball) Sparta
(apparently a rigid baseball camp)
Likes: Pro baseball, baseball video games
Dislikes: Big and strong people, basketball, volleyball
Special Talent: Baseball (Big surprise, isn't it?)
Best Subject(s): Physical education
Worst Subject(s): Music, English
Club: Baseball club
Part-Time Job: No time for that!
Personality: Has a quick temper and hates to lose. Has a strong
sense of justice, but because he's so impulsive,
he's always at a loss of what he tries to do. Because
he causes wild fights during games, he's estab-
lished himself as a regular member of the club
by no particular means necessary. He's extremely
self-conscious about his height; he always fights
with Natsu, who is tall and tries to make a fool of
him. He throws the fight right back at her, but she
always turns it around. It turns out Natsu was an
old friend from childhood, and now that she's
growing up and becoming more of a woman, her casual,
less combative actions have caused a lot of
tension...
Story: His older brother, an ace pitcher from the same
school, Shuuichi, was attacked by someone. To clear
his brother's humiliation of being cut off from
turning pro, to find out the truth, and for revenge,
Shoma goes to raid other schools.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: A member of Gorin's baseball club. He has
moved up to the starting lineup on the baseball team.
His next aim is to become a regular while training
hard. Now that he's come to the rescue after someone
attacked Momo, his friendship with Natsu is breaking
apart...
What You Didn't See: The early romanization of his name on the US arcade
version of Rival Schools had his name spelled
"Syoma", which is techinically correct, but not a
romanization that is used very much today. Shoma's
birthday is strategically placed on a Japanese
national holiday, National Sports Day.
[Natsu Ayuhara "Powerful Attacker"]
Sex: Female
Birthdate: February 14
Zodiac: Aquarius
Blood Type: B
Height: 182 cm
Weight: ?? kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 92-59-83 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: Childhood friends with Hinata, argues with Shoma
(she secretly likes him)
Home Life: Natsu lives with both her parents, and an older
brother, Shun (a first year college student); Natsu's
father is a former national superintendent.
Likes: Cake, Effortful people
Dislikes: People that bully the weak, liars, little bugs
Special Talent: Cooking, making sweets
Best Subject(s): Home economics, physical education, Japanese, English
Worst Subject(s): Art
Club: Volleyball club
Part Time Job: None
Personality: Natsu is a smart, outspoken "big sister" type with a
winning spirit. With her sharp-edged personality,
she hates people that bully the weak, lies, and
insects. She's tall, and her strong-minded,
"mannish" personality just might be the ruin of her.
Every day, her shoebox becomes more and more full
with love letters from other girls. On the other
hand, since she scares away all the guys at school,
Natsu's grateful to know a guy who doesn't hesitate
to fight with her everyday like Shoma. Although
her boyish qualities stand out, she also has a cute
side that yearns for romance, and a womanly side
that shows that she an excellent cook.
Story: At Gorin High, each club's highest-ranking member
was attacked in a series of coinciding events. Natsu
and two others that go to the same school as she,
Shoma and Roberto, got together and discussed it all,
then set out as a team of three to find the cause of
their investigation.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: A member of Gorin High's volleyball club.
Though Shoma is an old childhood friend, lately she
is beginning to regard him as a member of the
opposite sex. Though she's been fighting with Shoma
over the entrance of Momo between them, she is, in
actuality, worried about him.
What You Didn't See: In Natsu's "good" ending in Rival Schools, the
localizers eschewed one very important point at
which Shoma teases Natsu. Because he knows that
the boyish Natsu is the object of longing for a few
"curious" middle school students, Shoma tells Natsu
to stop hitting on (as in "flirting with") them in
front of the school. In the US localized version,
Shoma tells Natsu to stop beating them up. (I guess
that's still "hitting" on them...)
[Roberto Miura "Genius (Goal)Keeper"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: November 16
Zodiac: Scorpio
Blood Type: A
Height: 177 cm
Weight: 73 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 101-82-88 (cm)

(twins named Nelson and Elton, both third year
elementary school students (3rd grade))

Dislikes: Gloomy things
Special Talent: Quickly firing a gun (He has never fired a gun
with real bullets)
Best Subject(s): English, physical education
Worst Subject(s): Japanese, math
Club: Soccer club
Part-Time Job: None
Personality: A student that's quarter-Brazilian (his nationality
is Japanese, however.) His Brazilian blood brings a
cool and shy side to him. He's awfully quiet and a
loner, but when he sees needy people at a shelter,
he can't leave them alone. Of Gorin's team of three,
he plays an inside role of watching over the other
two. Every time the other two argue, Roberto makes
it a daily routine to turn around and shrug his
shoulders. He's usually cool, but when he gets in
soccer match, he becomes one hot-blooded jerk. If
he's making the deciding shot, he puts his whole
body into it, expressing the joy that's sure to
follow.
Story: Natsu and Shoma's uneasy combination is on the hunt
for criminals. However, so the two don't run around
wildly, he looks over them. He is worried that this
action might hinder his chances of becoming a pro-
fessional soccer player.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: A member of Gorin High's soccer club; it's
said that he takes the role of watching over Shoma
and Natsu. After she gets into a fight with Shoma,
Roberto goes along with Natsu.
What You Didn't See: Roberto's name is actually written given name first,
surname last in Japanese, the Western way, instead
of the usual way in Japan.
[Momo Karuizawa "Crash the Heart!"]
Sex: Female
Birthdate: October 31
Zodiac: Scorpio
Blood Type: O
Height: 138 cm
Three Sizes: 67-53-71 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Family: Momo lives alone in the Gorin dormitory; Not much
else is known about her family, since Momo doesn't
talk about it.
Likes: Shoma, Kurou, pudding, omelettes, tennis
Dislikes: Dried plums, vinegar kelp (seaweed), big girls
Special Talent: Acting like a little girl, causing trouble
School: Gorin Koukou
Best Subject: Art (she really wants to become better, but..)
Worst Subject: Home economics
Club: Tennis club
Part-Time Job: Sometimes she models for a maker of children's
clothes (it looks as if she doesn't know that she's
modeling -children's- clothes...)
Personality: Just as she looks, she's a mischievous little girl.
She might look like a little kid, but she is both
cruel and atrocious. She clings to Shoma, but she
schemes to break up his friendship with Roberto,
and especially with Natsu. At first, she was crazy
over Kurou. However, after bearing witness to
Shoma's manliness, she has grown to really like
him.
Story: A new entrant to Gorin High School. A member of
the tennis club; she's skilled at making powerful
plays that don't seem to fit her outward appear-
ance. The recent events have given her the chance
she needs to hang off Shoma...
-= Gorin Daigaku (University) =-
This year marks the establishment of Gorin's college-level section. Because
the other P.E.-centered colleges' facilities were overwhelmed with the number
of college-bound graduates from Gorin, a college where each sport and the
people concerned were collected in one central location was created. Just
like Gorin High School, Gorin University seeks to produce the greatest
athletes, as well as sporting doctors and trainers. With the addition of a
sports medicine club and a physiology club, Gorin University is going for
the complete sporting educational experience.
[Nagare Namikawa "The Sleeping Flying Fish"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: July 20
Zodiac: Cancer
Blood Type: B
Height: 187 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 108-88-95 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: Member of the Gorin Swimming Club, a childhood
neighborhood friend of Shoma and Shuuichi
Home Life: N/A
Likes: Swimming, oceans, rivers
Dislikes: Caterpillars, crooked things
Special Talent: Swimming, just about anything that has to do with
water
Subject(s) Good At: Physical education (swimming, water polo)
Subject(s) Bad At: Subjects that don't have anything to do with water
or the ocean
Club: Swimming club (Ace)
Part-Time Job: None
Personality: (As a third year student at Gorin High)
Very serious Gorin senior; doesn't speak very much.
Since childhood, Nagare has been friends with Shoma
and Shuuichi, Shoma regards him as an older brother.
As expected, the swim team's ace loves the water and
just about everything related to it; he excels in
all water sports, but when he's out of the water,
he's lost.
Story: "Who attacked Shuuichi?" As Shoma jumps in to get
revenge on those who attacked his brother, Nagare
joins in to lend a helping hand. When Shuuichi is
found badly injured, Nagare worries alongside his
"little brother" Shoma.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Personality: He's silent, and because his talents
are limited outside of the water so that he seems
absent-minded, at first glance it doesn't seem that
he's thinking about anything; to friends, and those
with whom he's concerned, he's a good-natured person
who lends a helping hand. When he gets in the water,
he becomes a totally different, sharp-minded person.
Story: Member of Gorin University's swim team. Out
of the bounds of Gorin High School, now he has
returned to Gorin High as a swimming coach. By
chance, when he returned to Gorin, he joined up
with Roberto and company and all of them set out
together.
What You Didn't See: Nagare entered the Justice Gakuen world as a third-
year student at Gorin in Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2.
Since the official sequel pushed the characters up
one school year, Gorin University was established
to keep Nagare in the playing field.
-=Pacific High School "High Class American School"=-
Pacific High School sits in a harbor town next to high-rise western living
quarters. It is also near a US military base. The school's educational
objective is to "circulate elite education through the world through culture
and sports". It possesses a small student body of about 500.
As mentioned before, this school was established in order to "circulate
elite education through the world using culture and sports". Pacific's
most outstanding feature is the number of high-class Americans living in
Japan. There are many children of ambassadors, elite military officers,
politicians and high-profile figures, bringing tradition and social
status to this high school.
Profile: Full of good Americans raised in domestic American schools. Said to
have many children of prominent Americans studying as exchange students.
[Roy Bromwell "Strong-Armed American"]
Sex: Male
Birthdate: May 2
Zodiac: Taurus
Blood Type: B
Height: 181 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 122-82-88 (cm)
Nationality: U.S.A.
Relationship: ???
Home Life: Lives alone in his father's holiday villa (at home
in America, he lives with both his parents, and
has two older sisters)
Likes: Fashion, high-class brands
Dislikes: Japan, Japanese people, cowardly, foul things
Special Talent: Arm wrestling (Boman is a good rival)
Best Subject(s): Anything
Worst Subject(s): Nothing
Club: Football
Part-Time Job: No need to work, his family is wealthy
Personality: As the star quarterback of a unbeatable American
football team, he's the guy all the students want
to be. Though he's capricious, and just a little
less than serious. To make matters worse, he tries
more than anyone else to look sharp. Though, if one
looks through all of that, one will find a real frank
and basic side to him that really hates cowardice.
Because he was repeatedly told about how his
grandfather lost his leg in the Pacific War (World
War II) since he was little, Roy despises most
things Japanese.
Story: Because his father is working to make Roy become a
diplomat, he makes Roy transfer to Japan at Pacific
High School unwillingly. However, Roy has yet to
like being in Japan, and from his uneasy placement
there, he gets a request from his father to check
out the disturbing goings on at Justice Gakuen.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: An American who serves as Batsu's rival.
Last time around, he ended his overseas studies and
went back home to America. This time around, he has
come to help Boman and the others against Kurou's
conspiracy schemes.
What You Didn't See: The half-hearted localization of Rival Schools gave
one the impression that Roy didn't like living in
Japan, but since they didn't even call Japan by name
(they called it Batsu's country), they tiptoed over
the things he says in that game. While he doesn't
say anything really offensive (save the kana-ized
word "Japanese", which isn't a nice way to refer
to Japanese people when you speak their language),
the things he does say is highly rude (ex. "So
what's a Japanese person like you gonna do about
it?"). Roy also says a few expletives in English
that are written in English that of course had
to be removed when translated (However, the
Japanese voiceovers were retained, and a keen ear
can hear Roy say them). Of particular amusement
was when one can clearly hear Roy call Hideo a
"Japanese Businessman" in English, but the
translators wrote that phrase as "geek"! (Just what
are they trying to say?) In Project Justice, it
seems that Roy has gotten over his hate of Japan
and its people, and there was no need to water down
any of the things he said.
[Tiffany Lords "Sexy Cheerleader"]
Sex: Female
Birthdate: December 23
Zodiac: Capricorn
Blood Type: B
Height: 164 cm
Weight: ?? kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 93-56-86 (cm)
Nationality: U.S.A.
Relationship: She has been in love with Roy ever since she came
to Japan (her love is as of yet still unrequited)
Home Life: Lives alone in the Pacific High dorms (Because she
has a lot of money, it's a single, plush room
complete with air conditioning, a heating system,
and catered meals)
Likes: Roy, dancing, her family, ice cream
Dislikes: Nattou (fermented soybeans)
Special Talent: Exciting displays of affection
(I wouldn't call -that- a special talent...)
Best Subject(s): Music, physical education
Worst Subject(s): Japanese
Club: Cheerleader
Part-Time Job: Tiffany has the looks, and her family has the money.
She has no desire to work, and probably never will.
Personality: She's proud that everyone recognizes her beautiful
face. A cheerful and bubbly (bubble headed)
"American funky girl". Her present interests are
fashion and love, and she doesn't miss the chance to
go to the dance club on weekends. Because she always
in a haze and playing around, she doesn't have
thoughts of the future in her head at all. On a more
positive side, she has a cute side that misses her
parents in America, who never miss the chance to send
her presents or call her on the phone. Before they
were sent overseas, Roy and Tiffany went to the same
school; since she has come to Japan, she fell deeply
in love with him. She recalls something bothering
Roy, who usually isn't easily disturbed.
Story: Tiffany joined Roy in the investigation of Justice
Gakuen Roy's father ordered, in hopes that Roy will
somehow turn around (to face her).
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen notes)
Story: Member of the cheerleading team. Though she
went back to America with Roy earlier, she has come
back to help Boman and the others.
What You Didn't See: Tiffany is a case of when localization/translation
is impossible. It's easy to portray her as an
airhead, but the true humor of Tiffany's character
is the glaring gaffes she makes when speaking the
Japanese language. Tiffany stereotypically uses
"Mii" ("Me") as a first person pronoun, a standard
way of characterizing English speakers who can't
speak Japanese very well, and she also drags out
the pronunciation of certain sounds, sounding a
bit more accurately like one just learning to
speak Japanese. Her most hilarious trait is the
incredible foul-ups she makes while using common
Japanese phrases; often Boman will be there to
correct her. For example, she says "Hyoushiki
utagachau" ("You've lost a road sign") when she
means to say "Joushiki utagachau" ("You've lost
your common sense"). This sort of thing is
nearly impossible to translate without a few foot-
notes.

Height: 200 cm
Weight: 101 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 138-90-95 (cm)
Nationality: U.S.A.
Relationship: ???
Home Life: Lives alone in the Pacific dorms (he doesn't partic-
ularly have a lot of money, so it's a four-man room)
Likes: Praying
Dislikes: Violence
Special Talent: Cooking
Best Subject(s): Theology, philosophy
Worst Subject(s): Math, science
Club: Chorus
Part-Time Job: Volunteers at church on Sunday
Personality: Acts like a true adult; gentle. A devout Christian
who never misses mass on Sunday. He is well aware
of how big and strong he is; he often warns himself
silently of this fact. To clear his mind, after a fight
he just can't avoid Bowman asks God for forgiveness.
He fights the way he believes, and never neglects to
take his pendant into his closed hands, and move into
a thankful pose towards God.
Story: As Roy and Tiffany go to investigate Justice Gakuen,
Bowman joins in to watch over those two.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: Since Roy and Tiffany have left Pacific High,
Boman has struggled to protect the school. Now, in
order to investigate the riot at the Tai-P event, he
has formed a cross-school combination with Ran and
Iinchou.
What You Didn't See: In Moero! Justice Gakuen, Boman was one of two
characters (the other was Shoma) that gained an
extra outfit via a downloadable update. Of course,
in the original US version of Rival Schools, Boman's
religious references were toned down whenever
addressed in text.
-=Gedou Koukou "Collecting the Nation's Worst"=-
Gedou Koukou (High School) is located beside an industrial area on a large
mouth of a river. The school's motto is "gang morals and perseverence", and
its objective is "one person will force a lot of graduations"; it's quite
severe. Gedou is an all-male school at which there are 320 freshmen, 160
juniors, and 80 seniors, a very strange inclination.
At one time, Gedou was a fine school that divided the time between studies
and martial arts equally for the purpose of raising fine Japanese men. Now,
it has changed into an institution that uses "lessons that drill the mind"
to raise "people who don't drift from the way of the people" (i.e. a
"correctional" facility). Both schools were positioned adjacent to the
industrial area; a long time ago, the quality of students was fine, but the
number of entering students has gone down with the industrial area, which
is growing obsolete and continuing to decline.
Profile: Collecting notorious bad guys from all over Japan, the school goes
through a lot of excruciating ups and downs. Until now, Akira's brother has
drawn the line between them. Gedou clearly has a serious rivalry with Gorin
Koukou.

Zodiac: Aries
Blood Type: AB

Weight: 60 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 88-59-72 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: ???
Home Life: Lives with his parents, an older brother and an
older sister (both upstanding socialites)
Likes: Army Knives
Dislikes: His real name, Seriously hard work
Best Subject(s): Nothing
Worst Subject(s): Everything, especially math
Club: No club (juvenile delinquents don't belong to any)
Part-time Job: He has tried several (video store, coffee shops),
but none of them ever worked out. He is currently
jobless.
Special Talent: Knife throwing, attacks with dangerous weapons,
verbal attacks
Personality: Edge's personality can be described in one phrase:
"irresponsible and unfair". No matter how he looks
toward his opponents, he's got an army knife waiting
for them without them knowing about it; hence his
popular nickname "Army Knife's Edge". If his clothes
get wrinkled a little, he has a habit of grabbing his
collar or chest area and fixing it afterward. Edge
hates his given name, and if you call him by his real
name he gets mad.
Story: Ever since the "boss of Gedou" Daigo disappeared,
Edge leans a spying ear to the other schools in pur-
suit of his whereabouts.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Nickname: "Cut-Up Gang Leader"
Story: A cowardly, super delinquent. Someway, somehow
Edge has made it to the junior class (2nd year).
Without Akira or Daigo around, he's starting to feel
rather bored. This time around, as the returning
Daigo gives orders to raid other schools, Daigo's
(too-)extreme words and conduct are inviting a lot
of mistrust and suspicion on Edge's end.

Sex: Male
Birthdate: January 3
Zodiac: Capricorn
Blood Type: O
Height: 198 cm
Weight: 115 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 170-159-165 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: ???
Home Life: Lives with both parents, three younger brothers and
three younger sisters. (Holy crap!)
Likes: Rice balls
Dislikes: Studying
Special Talent: Sumo, eating a lot, eating fast
Best Subject(s): Physical education
Worst Subject(s): Almost anything except physical education
Club: Although he offically belongs to the sumo club, he
never attends it
Part-time Job: Sometimes he does one-day jobs that require physical
strength (road construction, moving company, etc.)
Personality: Possessing immense physical might, Gan's only boast is
his strength in fights. He doesn't have a grasp on
even the most basic things, and he'll believe just
about anything. In fact, if someone sneaky tried to
take advantage of Gan, he'd still draw not much more
than a blank from the big guy; Gan's a dunce of a
character. More than anything else, Gan looks forward
to having three meals a day. At every meal, he has no
less than a mountain-sized helping of rice stacked
five times over in a bowl.
Story: Because Daigo, the "boss" to all the gangs at Gedo,
disappeared, Akira (who Gan believes is Daigo's
little brother) suggested a conference about the
search for the missing students; Gan joined in too,
and went on to play a part in the search.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: A fun-loving giant of a delinquent. He loves
onigiri (hand-rolled sushi) and is an "absentee"
member of the sumo club. Just like Edge, he serves
as a top henchman to Daigo as they raid other
schools.
What You Didn't See: Is his last name "Sekidou"? Is it "Isurugi"? The
answer is the latter. Just as they had done with
Hinata, CAPCOM's localization team, working at half-
mast used a more common reading for Gan's surname
given the characters used to write it. "Isurugi"
is a rather uncommon reading for the characters,
yet CAPCOM Japan's Justice Gakuen website had Gan's
surname clearly written out in hiragana to point
out its correct reading. Talk about miscommuni-
cation...

(in short, the undisputed boss of all gangs) at
Gedou.
Home Life: Lives with his younger sister, Akira
Likes: Enka (modern Japanese ballads), straight things,
heroic movies (things full of health and vigor)
Dislikes: Caterpillars, crooked things
Special Talent: Telling people about what makes a man
Best Subject(s): Japanese language (especially reading/writing kanji,
a set of characters inherited from China)
Worst Subject(s): None
Club: None
Part-Time Job: None
Personality: He's harsh, but tender at heart, and prizes gang
morals. He possesses a magnetic charisma. He never
fights unfairly (certainly, he doesn't condone two-
on-one fights). Naturally, his thoughts are with
his younger sister; his existence is one where a
man of his standing usually falls.
Story: When the kidnappings perpetrated by Justice Gakuen
had started, Daigo, aware of the worries that arose
because of them, set out to face Justice Gakuen in
search of the truth behind it all. There was no
way that Daigo could have known that at that time,
he was another one of Justice's targets.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen notes)
Story: The undisputed boss of all gangs at Gedou.
Akira's older brother, who, last time around, was
taken captive by Justice Gakuen. After that, Daigo
went away on a journey on his own accord to train
and cast away the shame he felt inside, unknown
to others. One year later, a Daigo different from
the man who respects gang morals and despises battles
without purposes has returned to Gedou. "Make every</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
school in the area submit to US!" he calls...

Nickname: "Berserk Boss"
Story: At the complete command of Gedou Koukou, he
moves to take control of every high school. With
those glowing, deep red eyes, that can only mean...
-= Seijun Jogakuin (Girls' Institute) =-
A high school centered at a certain zaibatsu (financial clique), established
with the intent to "raise women who display feminine virtues and the time-
honored traditions of Japan within themselves". Such is Seijun's educational
objective as well; many students who enter Seijun come from well-known, well-
to-do families. In a time where the freedom of students in their schooling
is prized, it's said that numerous Seijun school regulations are well behind
the times. (In the first place, because those students who break the rules
don't come to school, you don't hear anyone who is against the regulations
ever speaking up.)
Barring a few exceptions, basically everyone lives in the dormitories. The
school was built on a small island on a beautiful lake. Except on summer
vacation, winter vacation, and end of the year/New Year's homecoming, the
principal is very throrough in requiring students to have permission to
leave the campus.

Personality: Silent. Akira usually hardly ever speaks out.
Possesses a cool-headed, spirited personality. Under
the helmet lies an Akira that no one knows; this Akira
is a docile, gentle girl that is the complete opposite
of the rough and commanding helmeted biker. Her pers-
onality changes instantly when the helmet is removed
or replaced...
Story: Because Akira's own brother, Daigo, has become one of
the missing, Akira enters Gedou Koukou. Being treated
as "Daigo's little brother", Akira joins up with Gan
and Edge and gathers information.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen notes)
Story: A (motor)bike loving schoolgirl. Last time
around, Akira disguised herself as a man while at
Gedou Koukou to find her older brother. Now, that
she has moved to the junior (2nd) year, she has
taken the opportunity to transfer to an all-girls'
school. The sudden change from an all-male school
to an all-female school has left Akira without
many friends. This time around, as Daigo returns
from his training journey, Akira notices that he has
been acting strange. Thus, she joins with one of
her friends, Yurika, and Zaki and goes to see what's
transpiring.

Best subject(s): Music, English
Worst subject(s): Art
Club: She's enrolled in the wind instruments club
Part-Time Job: Since she comes from an affluent background, she
doesn't need to have one
Personality: A very quiet young lady. This is not to say she's
mute, but she's calm, not the type to yell, or
raise a fuss. She's timid, and not one to take
an action on her own accord. As far as music is
concerned, she possesses an amazing genius; gen-
erally, she can master just about any musical
instrument, but she plays the violin with the
same skill as a professional.
Story: She's Akira's classmate, and one and only close
friend. Because of Akira's worries about her

Best Subject(s): Physics
Worst Subject(s): Physical Education (she always skips the class,
because she doesn't like changing into a gym uniform)
Club: She was once made to join the flower arrangement and
tea ceremony clubs, but she ditched them
Part-Time Job: Since she controls the whole dormitory (i.e. the
student body), she can't have one.
Personality: A deeply popular gang member who supports an uprising
force of 5000 "Ladies". Since her parents and some
extended family members pushed her into going to Sei-
jun in order to become a more "pure" young woman,
Zaki had to leave her representative "Ladies Team"
behind. She's the kind of person who closes herself
off from those who don't make an effort to say what
they really feel; thoroughly unsociable.
Story: A gang member and Akira's classmate. She lends a
hand to Akira in order to investigate Daigo's ab-
normal behavior. Along the way, she hears a rumor
that Gedou Koukou, under Daigo's command is going
attack Seijun. So that she can get the help of
friends from junior high school, a "Ladies Team"
of 5000, Zaki can rely on the height of her
popularity.
-=Justice Gakuen "Super Elite High School"=-
The school's motto is "A sound mind and body build excellent abilities".
Because the lessons are geared to change the content of one's personal
ability, the classes are divided according to such ability from A to J, a
total of 10 classes (they keep increasing to the point that they form
a few small pyramids). Justice is a boarding school where students are not
permitted to return to their homes until graduation. At the dormitories,
a student's study schedule is determined, and an orderly lifestyle follows.
Profile: A private institution built to nurture the elite that should change
Japan. Talented students from all around Japan are admitted. There's a rumor
that some of them were kidnapped to secure their admission...

Personality: He's gentlemanly and possesses a strong sense of
justice, but his speech and social skills are poor.
His leads a serious personal life; he doesn't smoke,
nor does he drink. He is in his 40s and presently
looking for a wife. It doesn't look like it, but
Hideo is really a 9th dan master of karate, and the
reputable Shimazu style is evident in his actions.
After his father, the director of the dojo, died,
a large quarrel over the estate began. The fight
became charged with hatred and the inheritance was
taken out of his own hands.
Story: Per Justice Gakuen's director Raizo's directive,
Hideo was to act as a scout to search around the
local schools in search of talented students for the
school; however, in the process of scouting, he
begins to have doubts about the school's methods.
Addendum: (Moero! Justice Gakuen Notes)
Story: A serious and gentle language teacher who is
deeply popular with the students. After Justice's
principal was attacked, Hideo joined up with Kyoko
to investigate, then joined up with Hayato along the
way.

with the control of a surgical genius. Both witty and
beautiful, clearly intelligent, elegant, full of style.
The male students never fail to come into her infir-
mary with fake illnesses and such, as she is the
object of their yearning. When she puts on the
white coat, she transforms into an energetic woman
doctor that is full of intellect, but when she
takes it off, she also has a slovelnly, careless
side. She'll drink a lot and her domestic skills
(i.e. cleaning and cooking) are horrible.
Story: Per Justice Gakuen's director Raizo's directive,
Kyoko was to act as a scout to search around the

begins to have doubts about the school's methods.

Story: A health teacher at Justice Gakuen. Along
with Hideo, Kyoko goes to investigate the attack
on Raizo.
What You Didn't See: In the Seishun Nikki mode of the original Shiritsu
Justice Gakuen: Legion of Heroes, one of the items
your character can get while befriending Kyoko is
her phone number, which she gives to you after
helping her home while she was drunk (and dressed
like she is in her "Kyoko 2" costume).

Story: As Raizo had feared, as the effects of the Ima-

ted many a top-notch talent at his academy (Just-
ice) and the academy had gotten all the more
famous, opposition from the Imawano family to
the public release of the teaching methods Raizo
had been the only child to inherit was high, and
his life was targeted. In addition to this, just
to drive the nail into the coffin, the Imawano
clan pressured Raizo mentally because of their
opposition to his plans to give his own child extra
special education, usually reserved for gifted
students. Because of this, Raizo hid himself
from both his wife and very young son. However,
Raizo was never free from his sadness. Afterward,
he did nothing but keep on, for the sake of the
academy. Gradually, his family's opposition came
to an end, and one day, as Raizo was making his
rounds at the academy, he noticed a student both
scholarly and physically strong, with outstanding
grades. His name was Hyo, and the students were
well aware of his abilities and popularity. Since
his wife and son have disappeared, Raizo, who
forgot all about his plan of succession decided
to groom Hyo mainly for the eventual inheritance.
Because he had put so much work into the academy,
Raizo's body was already beginning to lose its
ability to overexert itself. Raizo was having
thoughts of retiring after Hyo graduates,
leaving the academy in Hyo's hands. In actuality,
Hyo is an illegitimate child of the Imawano clan.
He has, at the behest of some family members,
planted the seeds of a secret mission: to
"revive a group of assassins" and "rule Japan with
terror and mayhem".

that of his father, Mugen Imawano. He controls
other people with with his powerful brainwashing
techniques, but Hyo is unaware that since he
was a small child, he has been brainwashed by
his father; he has a "father complex".
Story: Hyo uses his abilities, which surpass those of
everyone else at Justice Gakuen, and his charisma
as a weapon to turn all the academy's students into
his own personal followers. One time, Raizo went
overseas to inspect a high school at which he had
planned to make a joint venture with Justice. Hyo
used this opportunity to put a plan he had been
warming up into motion. He brainwashed those of the
best mind and body at schools everywhere in one fell
swoop and brought them into his own personal army.
Three months later, Raizo returned home to find a
drastically changed academy, with a fanatic cult
that worshipped Hyo as its master. It was hopeless
for Raizo, who easily fell to Hyo's brainwashing.
Hyo's ambition was nearly coming to perfect fruition;
however, he had found yet one more obstacle. Word
that Raizo's wife and son, long said to be dead, were
still living had surfaced. With the blood of Raizo,
ninja's blood continuing the family line and thus
being the rightful heir to Raizo's inheritance, this
could pose a trouble not even Hyo could handle. Hyo
then decides to kidnap Raizo's wife Shizuku, so that
he can lure his son, Batsu Ichimonji out of hiding
and into his grasp.

peaceful, normal days have returned. However,
Hyo feels the black shadow of a ninja approaching
Justice Gakuen...

famous roles, and somewhat of a "niche" player) passed

[Sakura Kasugano "The Fighting School Girl"]
Sex: Female
Birthdate: March 15
Zodiac: Pisces
Blood Type: O
Height: 157 cm
Weight: 42 kg
Three Sizes (B-W-H): 80-60-84 (cm)
Nationality: Japanese
Relationship: Close friends with Hinata and Natsu
Home Life: Lives with both her parents and her younger brother,
Tsukushi
Likes: White rice, running
Dislikes: Playing video games against her brother
Special Talent: Her cooking is relatively good (but it looks awful)
Best Subject(s): Physical education, English (conversation)
Worst Subject(s): Math
Club: None (Go-Home Club)
Sakura got where she is today because generally,
she tries her hand at athletic clubs, but since
her interests change with the weather, she doesn't
stay in a single club very long.
Part-Time Job: Inexperienced (She once was going to work at a
supermarket, but she wished to work in the stock
room rather than work the cash registers)
Personality: A high school girl who trains all day and all night
in the art of hand-to-hand fighting just so that
she can meet "that person". She's always full of
energy, cheerful, and unaffected; she can never
settle down. She loves to give her body a good
workout, but now she's in a street-fighting haze.
Her fighting sense is a truly special, natural
gift, and it seems the techniques she uses now
are imitations of what she has seen in her
endeavors.
Story: When she hears that her close friends (naturally,
Hinata and Natsu) have gone off to fight some
great evil, Sakura gets her hopes up, thinking,
"Maybe there'll be strong people fighting there..."
With that thought in mind, Sakura runs off to
give her friends some support. "It'll be great
training for when I meet 'him'," Sakura says;
it doesn't seem her motives are quite as sincere
as they should be...
----------------------------------End Notes-----------------------------------
V. 0.3: Lots of new info in this version. The English version translated Gan's
last name as "Sekidou" and Hinata's as "Wakana"... what in the name of
Tiffany's non-existent pants is that? Well... a new one is coming soon, when
more complete info on Sakura, Hyo, Raizo, Hayato, and Daigo become available.
See you then! --Batsu
V. 1.0: FINALLY!! Stories/info for Hayato, Daigo, Raizo, Hyo, and a little on
Natsu and Sakura. I think this will be the final update. See you in June when
Evolution 2 comes out! They should put Karin Kanzuki in that game, darn it.
--Batsu
V. 1.1: Seems that they had even more info than I thought. Who would have known
Gan would have a family as big as he is! See you next time! --Batsu
V. 1.2: Nekketsu Seishunnikki 2! Great game, but later for that lockout code.
The new characters Ran and Nagare are cool, but where the heck is Karin? There
are a lot of new characters with names (Batsu's mother Shizuku, Sayuri, Mari,
and other background characters show up, but the "Iinchou" (committee leader,
wearing Hayato's jacket)... she doesn't have a name! Hmm...what a waste! See
you next time!) --Batsu
V. 1.3: No really new info, but since those wonderful (sarcasm) people at AOL
finally allowed full-time use of those long SNs, I changed my E-Mail address
to
[email protected]. Sorry for the inconvenience!
V. 1.4: Well, this is another small update. Nothing too much to add. I wonder
if there will be a domestic version produced of Seishunnikki 2... if they ever
got around the simulation mode like they did with the other game, the game
would just be seen as a rehash of the first fighting game with minor additions.
Well...we'll see what Capcom is up to! Latez!
V. 1.5: Now that Project Justice is behind us, and I have gained more sources
from which to update this document, including the following:
Gamest EX Series Mook No. 59: Shiritsu Justice Gakuen Kakutou Sankousho
(Fighting Reference Book)
Dorimaga Books/SOFT BANK Moero! Justice Gakuen Perfect Guide
CAPCOM Japan's Shiritsu Justice Gakuen and Moero! Justice Gakuen web sites
This may very well be the final update. -- The Doc
