Plot
The story starts with Takiya Genji (Shun Oguri), the son of a Yakuza boss, entering Suzuran All-Boys High School as a transferred senior with the goal of conquering it. During the Freshers' orientation lecture, Yakuza arrive at the school seeking Tamao Serizawa to avenge an injury. To show his worth, Genji fights and defeats the Yakuza, who mistake him for Tamao. One of the Yakuza, Ken Katagiri is impressed by Genji's skills. Meanwhile, Tamao greets his best friend Tokio, who is discharged from a hospital. Tamao is then arrested for not having a driver's license for a bike.
After the intro, Genji meets Ruka in a nightclub, where she sings as an R&B singer. Genji declares his ambition of conquering Suzuran to his father, who failed in the task. They agree that if Genji conquers Suzuran, he may inherit his father's Yakuza family. The next day, Genji meets Serizawa and Tokio, who was a childhood friend of Genji's. Tokio tells Genji to take down Rindaman before approaching Serizawa. Rindaman, who is giant-sized and a legendary figure in the school, ignores Genji , who instead finds Ken Katagiri.
Ken tells Genji that he was in Suzuran as well, and came close to ruling it, but failed and ended up being a dropout. He proposes teaching Genji about leadership and influencing others to join his army, in order to correct Genji's lack of strategy in his ambition. Genji uses his advice to conquer Chuta Tamura's class, admitting him into his army. The Mikami Brothers of Class B join Serizawa's army, who then approach Class C's leader, Takasi Makise, who maintains a neutral position.
Genji decides to acquire Makise by exploiting his weakness for sex. Ken arranges a date, but it gets botched. Makise joins Genji anyway, based solely on the friendship formed on the day. A gang known as the Freshmen Trio defeat all the other freshmen, but are provoked by Izaki, a senior. Izaki proposes joining Genji , but ambushes him instead, to test his strength. Genji fights valiantly, and Izaki is impressed, despite thoroughly defeating Genji . He joins forces with Genji , forming the Genji Perfect Seiha Army.
Serizawa is alarmed by the rapid rise of Genji , but chooses not to take action. A member of his army, Tokaji takes covert action against the perceived threat by ambushing Izaki and hanging him from a rope, bloodied. This provokes Genji , but Makise stops him from making a rash attack on Serizawa. Later, Serizawa and Tokio meet Genji , but Tokio suffers a seizure and is rushed to a hospital, where he learns that he has a large cerebral aneurysm, and that the surgery required has a 30% success rate. Tokio chooses to go ahead with the operation, confident of his survival.
Angered by the provocations, Genji attacks Serizawa's classes even as Makise tries to stop him. Chuta is also ambushed by Tokaji, and as Genji tries to leave to attack Serizawa, Makise finally decides to leave the GPS Army, stating that he cannot follow a leader without control. Ken tries to encourage Genji, and learns that Genji 's father is Hideo Takiya, a former associate of Ken's.
Tokaji covertly arranges a deal with Hideto Bando, leader of a biker gang to kidnap Ruka to provoke Genji . Genji challenges Makise to a fight, with a condition that if Genji wins, Makise joins him again. Ken's boss, Joji Yazaki asks Ken to kill Genji , disregarding the fact that killing the heir to a Yakuza family would entail an all-out war. Izaki returns from the hospital and is welcomed by the GPS Army.
Ruka is kidnapped by The Front of Armament, Bando's army. Ken approaches Hideo Takiya, informing him of Yazaki's plan to kill him. Ken decides that he will not do as he was asked, and suffer Yakuza punishment for disobedience - death. Ruka calls Genji , telling him that she is abducted and that her abductors wore jackets. Realising that they are the Front of Armament, the GPS Army advances to the Narai Warehouse, The Front's headquarters.
A fight ensues, and Bando is impressed by Genji 's strength. He reveals that Ruka is in a basement owned by Tokaji. Finding Ruka there, Ayman is finally bent for war against Serizawa. Serizawa, who was not aware of Tokaji's actions, fights him and agrees to Genji 's proposal for an all-out battle. They decide to fight at 5 PM, at the same time when Tokio will enter operation, the idea being that Serizawa will fight alongside Tokio.
As the battle enters full swing, the Freshmen Trio comment on the battle's balance. The battle goes in Serizawa's favour, even though the GPS army fights strongly. The Front of Armament joins the battle midway on the GPS' side, evening the odds. Towards the end, only Serizawa and Genji remain standing, and fight. Meanwhile, Ken's boss takes him to a dock to be executed for his disobedience. He gives Ken his coat, stating that Ken had always wanted to wear it (aspired to becoming a Yakuza leader). He then shoots Ken, who cries out to Genji before sinking.
Genji wins the fight against Serizawa, who receives a call informing him that Tokio's operation was a success. Ken wakes up in the sea suddenly and swims up to the surface, realising that the coat he wore was bulletproof. Having defeated Serizawa, Genji finally meets Rindaman, stating that he has to be defeated if Genji is to be titled the king of Suzuran. Rindaman replies that Suzuran can never be conquered, as there is always someone left to defeat. The film ends as Genji attacks Rindaman.
