Plot
Genji (Shun Oguri) still hasn't quite managed to unify badass haven Suzuran High School under one leader due to a decisive loss to the mysterious Linda Man.
Unfortunately his goal of local domination must be put on hold when a long-standing truce with rival high school Housen Gakuen is suddenly broken. Led by the ferocious Taiga Narumi (Kaneko Nobuaki), Housen launches an all-out assault on Suzuran, throwing the reigning toughest school in all of Japan into a state of crisis. --- nipponcinema

The action is, accordingly, more realistic, right down to the gory-looking makeup and bone-crunching sound effects. Also, the group battle scenes, with hundreds of punks whaling on each other, have a scale and impact reminiscent of the gaudier clashes in "Braveheart," though no one gets their head lopped off with a sword.
...
Miike directs with an energy, velocity and cheeky bravado that are pure punk. He also understands why his Suzuran toughs fight as easily as they breathe - it's not just a release for their raging hormones, but a way of being with their friends and telling the world they exist.

Another reason why CZII is going to kick all sorts of ass? Japan's got 11 year old girls like Namiki Ruri who can kill it on guitar and are on the soundtrack. Thanks to Jason Gray for the heads up on this! - A Nutshell Review, by Stefan S

Fans of Meisa Kuroki (like *ahem*, myself) may take some delight in having the idol appear in all but 3 different scenes, 2 of which are spent consoling Genji, and one performing on stage at the pub (like what she did in the first film), though this time round it's a rather tame and shortened version of Bad Girl (those of you who have seen that music video, will know what I mean). But hey, at least Miike brought her back, so no complaints I guess.
Director: Takashi Miike
Takashi Miike is a highly prolific and controversial Japanese filmmaker. He became one of the most talked about filmmakers in the international festival circuit after taking audiences on kinetically unhinged and frequently disturbing joyrides as Dead or Alive (2000) and Ichi the Killer (2001). He has directed over seventy theatrical, video, and television productions since his debut in 1991. Miike turned out an exhausting 24 films (including two television miniseries) between 1999 and 2002, confirming his status as one of the busiest directors in world cinema. Cast

Housen High
And also
How much Genji means to Suzuran?
Suzuran minus Genji VS Housen plus Genji
Let's assume, just for a moment, that Genji, instead of transferring to Suzuran moved to Housen Gakuen. What would be the result of final battle under such circumstances? So, the question is - Suzuran without Takaya Genji vs Housen and Takaya Genji, who would be the winner in final battle?
Suzuran minus Genji VS Housen plus Genji, who would be the winner?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand bySuzuran without Genji
