A delinquent karate comedy from 1990 that actually understands what makes street toughs funny: they're not cool, they're just committed to being the loudest person in the room. The captain isn't a snarling villain, he's a kid trying to hold together a crew of maniacs using nothing but stubbornness and honor code. This OVA has no right being this entertaining when it could have been forgettable, but it treats its scumbags like they matter, which is exactly why they do.
A notorious karate club at Kansai Fifth Technical High School doesn't just teach martial arts, it harbors the roughest street fighters in all of Osaka. When first-year Matsushita Tadashi joins up hoping to finally stand up to bullies, he discovers he's walked into something far more intense than typical school club activities. The real story centers on Takagi Yoshiyuki, the club's captain and reigning toughest fighter in the entire city. Feared and respected across Osaka, Takagi is violent on the surface but honorable and compassionate underneath, and he fights to protect both his karate club and the city itself. This four-episode OVA from 1990 mixes delinquent action with comedy.
