Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Kenka Bancho' game series by Spike Chunsoft became a cult favorite for its exaggerated delinquent culture and customizable fighting styles.
This film arrived during Japan's brief 2008-2012 wave of 'yarō' (delinquent) nostalgia media, when 1980s banchō aesthetics ironically returned to mainstream popularity.
