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) Nationality: Japanese Relationship: ??? Home Life: Lives with his parents and two younger brothers (twins named Nelson and Elton, both third year elementary school students (3rd grade)) Likes: Soccer and everything related to it, guns 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.

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.

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.

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...

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 school in the area submit to US!" he calls... (About Wild Daigo) 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.

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.

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 brother Daigo, she lends a hand to both Akira and Zaki, but...

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.

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.

She'll drink a lot and her domestic skills (i.e. cleaning and cooking) are horrible.

Toward himself, he is strict; he is strong willed, his convictions are piercing, and he only makes his mind up once. He has an unusual way of getting things done and a preeminent, natural charisma and has the power to take down massive organizations. Story: As Raizo had feared, as the effects of the Ima- wano family's special training methods had crea- 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".

His aggressive personality is based on 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. Addendum: (Moero!

"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 batsuichimonji@aol.com. 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
