Ctows Zero 1 and 2 is a Delinquent Movie based on a
manga written by Hiroshi Takahashi. The story revolves around Genji Takiya and
the School of Crows, Suzuran. Suzuran is a school where academics does not
exist, the students are only interested in brawl and fight and being cool
because Suzuran is a school of delinquent boys. Genji’s goal here is too unite
the school, but first he must defeat Tamao Serizawa, which he did. He defeated
Serizawa.
I think that the movie is about youthful aggressiveness,
friendship and politics. Yes, politics. If you noticed that the terminologies
and circumstances is as if two countries are at consistently at war that fits a
Yakuza or Mafia’s dealing about their organization and rivals and allies. I
remember that a friend of mine once said, “Puro suntukan.” It’s all brawl. I
think he did not know much about Bushido nor The Prince.
Yakuza and the JD (Juvinile Delinquents) in this movie,
or in Japan, uphold some of Bushido’s principle. On the other hand, we can see
some element of politics as mention in The Prince of Machiavelli.
Genji’s father is a Yakuza Boss. He ask Genji to
conquer and unite Suzuran, which he did not in his own time. And if Genji
succeeded he will inherit the Yakuza organization. I remember that Machiavelli
once pointed that military is the primary concern of a prince and I think this
fits that circumstance.
It’s all about loyalty, power, fights and honor.
