The Sukeban Deka program (highschool kids doubling as undercover cops
armed with special yo-yos) has gotten out of hand when brilliant law
student Kurando Sekine (Masaki Kyomoto) has taken it over and remodelled
it as the paramilitaristic Juvenile Security Bureau. Yui (Yui Asaka), the
original Sukeban Deka (number three) has been demoted to a mere
footsoldier while violent and resolute Tohko (Minako Fujishiro) has been
left in charge of the troops. When Yui cannot take the violence anymore
that the Bureau dishes out even for minor misdemeanors, she resigns and
takes a breat in the country. While Yui's away from the city though, her
mentor Yoda (Nagare Hagiwara) breaks into the headquarters of the Juvenile
Security Bureau to steal a floppy disk containing their plans for the
future. He is caught though and only just manages to deliver the disk to
Yui's sisters Yuma (Yuma Nakamura) and Yuka (Yuka Onishi) before dying. Yuma
and Yuka call Yui back into action, but even at their first meeting they
are attacked by the Juvenile Security Bureau, and in the battle, Yuma and
Yuka go missing in action, and Yui can only save herself thanks to the
Outcast League, members of which she has once saved from the Juvenile
Security Bureau. The Outcast League though is deemed a terrorist
organisation and made responsible for many acts of terrorism of the last
few days, even though its head Kyosuke (Kosuke Toyohara) claims he only
gives outcast kids a home. Eventually, Yui finds out that the acts of
terrorism credited to the Outcast League were actually committed by the
Juvenile Security Bureau as part of a plot by Kurando Sekine to take over
gouvernment, and this plot will culminate in blowing the audience of a big
music festival to kingdom come. Once she has found that out though, it
might already be too late, since the Outcast League's hideout has already
been surrounded by the Juvenile Security Bureau, and to save his outcasts,
Kyosuke is initially even willing to give up on Yui - until he realizes
the league is doomed with our without Yui, but with her it at least stands
a fighting chance. It all culminates in a big battle, in which Yui is
joined by Yuma and Yuka, who have somehow survived the earlier battle,
once more, and after the Juvenile Secutiry Bureau is defeated in the
League's hideout thanks to everyone's cunning, it's off to the airport
(via zeppelin), where Kurando Sekine is already loading a plane with bombs
to blow the concert sky high, but after Yui defeats Tohko for good in
their final battle, she also manages to blow up Kurando Sekine - and
Japan, the world, and the Outcast League are saved once more. If
you like your action heroes to be schoolgirls in uniforms (and ho
doesn't), then this is a film for you. That said, despite some very
well-staged action setpieces and a high campfactor, the film is not as
much fun as the first movie or the TV-series it is based on, mainlybecause
it takes itself too seriously and tries too hard to do its somewhat grimm
basic premise justice instead of just having fun with what's at hand.
Still, you'll probably be amused by this one, even if it could have been
way funnier.
