Sakigake!! Otokojuku: Shippu Ichi Gou Sei

Sakigake!! Otokojuku: Shippu Ichi Gou Sei is a game developed by TOSE and published by Bandai. This game was released in 1989 and is based on the manga and anime, which was popular at around the time this game was released. Sakigake takes place at a school called Otokojuku, which is a private boy school that teaches Oendan to student delinquents. Oendan is basically a cheering squad that is somewhat similar to cheerleaders, except they focus mostly on noise and atmosphere than being acrobatic. The school is run by the principal Heihachi Edajima, who uses martial arts to train his students to be better people for society.

You will be mainly playing as the four main characters that are from the manga and anime. These characters are first-years at Otokojuku, and they are Tsurugi Momotaro, Togashi Genji, J, and Toramaru Ryuji. You will be fighting other characters that appear in the manga and anime as well. You will be going through various stages while defeating these characters in order to make Otokojuku a better place for everyone. Your ultimate goal in this game is to be the number one student of Otokojuku. You will need to defeat the so called Emperor of Otokojuku first, which is the character named Daigoin Jaki. He is located at a separate and distant place far away from Otokojuku.

This game is mainly a 2-D side scroller. It’s similar to a game like Double Dragon, except it is a one player game. The game itself has four chapters, each having four stages. Once you have completed each chapter, you will unlock the final stage that contains the final boss battle. You can change your characters most of the time, and you are also able to recruit more. You can level up your stats for your main characters the more you use them, and each main character will also have their own special moves for boss battles. The game itself is relatively fun to play, while catering to the fans of the manga and anime.
