H&L: Drunk Texting HCs

☆

re: in which they’re drunk texting you…

“woman” used

☆

Masaki

• Alright, so he’s about what you’d expect him to be… If you’re thinking cheery and flirtatious, you’re right. Almost obnoxiously so. If you don’t respond quick enough, he’ll be blowing your phone up with every little thought that he has. “Do yuo remmember when we first met? Did yup think I was cool?” “Doyou think birds get sad?” “Wish food was opne…hungry.”

• His texting isn’t atrocious, but there’s definitely some word-deciphering to be done here and there. Seems to consistently type “you” wrong.

• Sends a blurry selfie or two. You save them, obviously, because his adorable smile is to die for. Yeah, go ahead and make that his contact picture too. Oh, but he expects a selfie in return, obviously. “Let me see yup beaotiful, send yuor beautful face.”

Hyuga

• This guy doesn’t text. He just doesn’t. What’s an emoji? He has no idea. However, on the occasion when drinking, if you aren’t around, he may whip his phone out and start texting you. Though, it’s mostly just him telling you to come to wherever he is. “Come over” “It’s 1 in the morning…” “Fine I’m coming to you” And don’t doubt him, because he will. Because he’d much rather actually be with you than just texting you.

• If he can’t see you, he’ll probably opt to calling you at some point as his vision grows blurry and texting becomes increasingly more difficult. Will accidentally call someone else though, because he can’t figure that damn phone out. Old man Hyuga. “Hah? Who’s this? Why’re you with my woman? …Ah, sorry Ukyo, wrong number.”

• Will most definitely pass out at some point, but not without saying goodnight first. He’s a gentleman, after all. Rolls eyes. “Night see you tomorrow” “Wait, Nori, did we have plans tomorrow? Nori?” Aaaand he’s out.

Hirai

• One word: needy. Something akin to a puppy, but maybe even worse than that. At least puppies eventually wear themselves out, but Hirai seems to be on an endless timer when drunk. Remind him that you love him, he’s begging you. Call him cute, that’d make him really happy. “You still love me, right? You seemed like you were mad at me the other day and I just wanted to say that—“ cue very long paragraph with a bunch of nonsense. Sigh.

• Lots of heart emojis. Like, almost at the end of every text. Always pink hearts too, like the one he has next to your contact name. “Just watching some show, what’re you up to ♡”

• Really just wants to remind you how much you mean to him, how cute you are, how much he needs you… Please don’t leave him on read, even if he gets a tad annoying. He gets his feelings hurt really easily when drunk, especially if it’s by his beloved. Also, he’s a bit embarrassed by it all the next day… Don’t use it against him, he really can’t bare it.

Dan

• Incoherent. That’s it. Like, you have to wonder if he’s typing with his eyes closed. “Covet said smthhg I can remembrance” “Covet” “COBRA DAMSIT” “Want smoe chzzy Roman” …Yeah, good luck figuring that all out.

• At some point he’s practically typing while asleep, but is still so adamant about texting you that his fingers seem to have a mind of their own. You can ignore his illegible texts, he really won’t blame you. In fact, it’s probably for the better. That way he can eventually forget about his phone and actually go to sleep.

• If out in public, will probably end up losing his phone somewhere throughout the night. It wouldn’t be the first time. He also dropped it in a toilet once. Yeah, maybe he needs to stop drunk texting you…

Brown

• If one thing is consistent about his phone drunk self and his real life drunk self, it’s how flirty is. Like, borderline inappropriate. If the two of you weren’t already dating, you definitely would have blocked him. He really can’t help himself though, he just thinks you’re so sexy. What’s a man to do? “Send some pics, doll” “Pics of what?” “Everything” Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately?) you can probably expect him to send a few pictures himself… I’ll leave that up to your imagination.

• Pretty sporadic and inconsistent texts, especially if he’s out drinking instead of at home. Sometimes it’ll be seconds between replies, and sometimes hours. There’s really no telling, so don’t bother trying to have some sort of consistent conversation with him. “Miss you, doll” “I just saw you earlier this afternoon” [2 hours later] “Sorry, was trying to find your point” “-_-“

• This man has no shame. He will not feel any regrets for anything he says or does the following sober morning. In fact, expect this sort of drunk behavior pretty often. No matter what choice of scenery he’s chosen to drink in, he’ll always end up texting you. Well, at least you know his focus is always on you.

Plot Holes in High and Low We Need to Discuss

@tiredlittlewriter always gassing me up 🤭🫶🏼 @cheshirecatuniverse @mrskenpachizaraki @books-n-guns

Thank you so much everyone tagged for staying up and talking about the movies with me last night😂❤

Trigger warnings before you start reading, this ramble posts contains spoilers for the movies, cuss words, mentions of character d3aths, mention of SA that happens to a character, and other violence and cr!me associated with the H&L franchise. Please don't read if you do not want to see any of these.

Anywaysssas as you can tell by the title of this post and this screenshot, we are talking about plot holes in the High and Low franchise that we need to talk about because they BUG THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

I would like to start by saying that I do love this franchise, it is my everything. It's not like I have anything bad to say about it, I love it as it is, but some of the stuff within the franchise definitely could've been more thought out. It could've been worse! So I am thankful it wasn't bad but there are some things I wish the writing team did a little differently.

Also, I do attribute a lot of the plot holes to 1) the creators not being entirely sure whether or not they would get a green light on more movies, 2) trying to make sure the movies made money (it's a business unfortunately and not just art), and 3) High and Low is a multi-media franchise so some stuff is probably explained in the mangas, TV shows, games, etc. I will contradict myself and discuss this more in detail as we keep going.

These are in no particular order, just what comes to mind first

S.W.O.R.D Era

1)Noboru and Miho's story

I have beef with whoever on the H&L writing team thought that condensing the 2 seasons of Story of S.W.O.R.D into Road to High & Low was a good idea. "It's both seasons condensed into one movie" THAT'S A FUCKIN LIE. So much of what is in the shows is cut out from the movie.

Tell me why I learned here on Tumblr that Noboru actually spent a while in a coma in the hospital after getting body slammed by a Kuryu car? And then Cobra and Yamato had to do the "IF YOU DIE I'M GONNA BE SO MAD AT YOU" speech you always see in Asian dramas to get Noboru to wake up?!

And tell me why I learned from a fanfic on Wattpad that Miho isn't dead?! She literally comes to visit Noboru while he's in the hospital. Road to High & Low frames the situation to make it look like Noboru goes to beat up Miho's SA perpetrators after he finds he d3ad in her apartment. Then when I brought this up a couple weeks ago the Discord besties told me she broke up with him through a letter😭 A LETTER GIRL?! HE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT FOR YOU! IF I WAS YOU I WOULD'VE KEPT HIM. NOBORU. GIVE ME YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE PLEASE GOOD SIR💍 (I'm completely joking I don't think anyone is entitled to another person's feelings, love, affection, etc. I'm just delusional because I love Noboru and Keita Machida)

Then I learned last night from Discord that Miho needs serious therapy because she was working for Doubt and it was addressed in season 2 of the show. Like HUUUH?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!

I do think the storyline between them as a couple and their stories individually definitely could've been explored and explained more. It was probably explained better in the show than RTH&L but I don't have access to the show so idk... which brings me to my first contradiction!

LDH AND EXILE TRIBE PLEASE MAKE YOUR MEDIA MORE ACCESIBLE GOSH. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SUB IT THAT'S FINE AT LEAST MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND SO THAT WE CAN GET FAN SUBS OR I CAN JUST WATCH THE RAW FOOTAGE AND PRETEND I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. There's so many films like the 2 DTC films, the Mighty Warriors film, the shows, even the manga that a lot of us don't have access to😭 Yes this franchise is multi-media but at least make the media accessible😭

2) Mighty Warriors working with Doubt

In the first and second High & Low movie MW and Doubt work together... AND THAT LITERALLY DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Last I checked Mighty Warriors don't fuck with tr@ffickers in general so I don't even know why this happened.

And last I checked, MW rescued Sarah from Doubt so why would they work with Doubt when one of their members was literally a Doubt victim? That just doesn't make sense to me. Like yes the MW tend to just take up whatever whack-ass jobs for money they can get considering they fought with literal children (Oya and Rude Boys. I'm like 99.9% sure the Rude Boys members were all 16-19 and that is the age of children. Smoky might've been 20-22 which is not exactly a child but he's still young compared to the MW who were all mercenaries and in the military before they were musical bandits alluding to the fact they are older) but you would think that people who claim to have a club that is a utopia with music that is supposed to impact people positively and save their lives just like music saved the MW members' lives, they would have more moral and standards than to work with Doubt.... but I digress.

3) The alliance with a foreign mafia

This one I can kind of understand but also can't.

I understand that MW take up whatever job they can to make money. It's said directly multiple times in the movies by a MW member that there is no use doing a job for someone without getting paid so they do a lot of stuff just for the money. I also understand Doubt take whatever job pays them but also benefits their tr@fficking business. Hence why they took this job because not only were they getting paid by Lee who runs the Korean mafia but they could kidnap women in the S.W.O.R.D district which worked in their favor.

What I can't understand though is how this alliance even came to be. Hear me out. MW and Doubt will probably do whatever to get money, but where did the trust come from? Like how did they trust that a foreign mafia of all people would uphold their deal and pay them? Was it because Kohaku was made the front-man/face of the plan? Like did they believe that it would be fine because Kohaku was the one "leading" even though it seemed like Lee was pulling a lot of the strings? DOES KOHAKU EVEN HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BE PAYING EVERYONE?! I SWEAR EVERY TIME WE SEE HIM THAT MAN IS JUST LAYING ON A SOFA IN A JUNKYARD! WDYM DOUBT AND MIGHTY WARRIORS BELIEVED THIS MAN WAS THE ONE WHO WAS GONNA GIVE THEM MONEY?!

4) Who the fuck are Bulge? And what happened to Kuryu?

In End of Sky, we learn that Bulge are interested in the fight between Doubt, Prison Gang, and White Rascals and would sponsor Prison Gang. That's why the scene where we see Jesse fighting with another prisoner, after he kicks him down the guards tell Jesse that Bulge wants to see him to. This is why Jesse and Prison Gang are released early. When Jesse goes back to Funk Jungle he's asking if Mighty want to join but Ice says that they are gonna focus on promoting Funk Jungle, but like he's a liar they show up at the fight anyways lol.

A the end of Final Mission, the movie closes off with a dramatic shot of Mighty Warriors and a typed out message stating "Hello, everyone. This is Bulge. The takeover plan has begun." We never get an explanation of who they are, what they do, etc. I did learn from Ryu's Wiki Fandom page however that "It is presumed that he and Bulge orchestrated the fall of Kuryu Group. In the music video of the MIghty Warriors' new song "Warriors Anthem", it is revealed that he took over Kuryu as the leader after the events of Final Mission, and having Mighty Warriors occupy the remaining 8 heads of Kuryu."

So who exactly are Bulge? How are they powerful enough to be able to take down all of the original Kuryu members who have been seen as indestructible the whole franchise? Why did they allow Ryu to be the new leader?

After Final Mission, the next media pieces that were released were the DTC show and DTC movie, and then we moved into The Worst era with High&Low: The Worst Episode 0 along with the two Worst movies that followed.

I had made the assumption that around the start of the Worst era the creators probably wanted to integrate more of Jr.Exile into the franchise because of their 1) popularity and 2) new stories. The popularity of Exile members like Hokuto and Kazuma would probably bring in more viewership which does good on the numbers and money side because as I said above, unfortunately this is also a business not just art. The H&L creators probably also needed new stories to follow because they can't keep adding to S.W.O.R.D

Vis said that they think the Mighty Warriors were probably dropped because we haven't seen anything from them since the third movie, but Taiga also brought up how the new Mighty Warriors music video was also dropped right around the time the most recent movie Worst X was released. This probably means they are trying to figure out the story within S.W.O.R.D behind the scenes and it's just taking a while to do the world building. Tired also brought up a good point that considering most of the actors in H&L are also Exile members, they have to also continue their jobs as artists so tours, making music, schedules, etc. are probably also clashing with filming and working on High and Low.

Hopefully that is the case and we see more because I have too many questions and no answers.

5) Wtf happened to Rude Boys, Nameless City, and Nikaido?

If you read my fics, you know that when I write about Nameless City after Smoky's passing, I write about how the Rude Boys, Lala, and Eri go and visit Smoky's grave all the time. About a month ago the besties in the Discord made it known to me that Smoky's gravesite and like 3/4 of Nameless City was completely blown up. I was like 😧when I read those messages because it wasn't even like a head-canon thing I genuinely thought that only a small section of Nameless City was blown up so we were fine BUT APPARENTLY WE AREN'T FINE. So what does this mean for the Nameless City residents?

Did they get government housing to stay in while they got tested for the disease from the pollution? Did the residents get released back into Nameless City after the whole casino project exposure? If they were released back into Nameless City, are they all just cramming into that little 1/4 of Nameless City that wasn't blown up?

What happened to Rude Boys afterwards? Are they all back in Nameless City? Or did they move to a different area? Where would they go though? Little Asia? Did Eri get adopted afterwards? Are they finding ways to make money like how they mined the crystal to get money to rebuild Nameless City? Do they even want to return to Nameless City considering the pollution from the toxic waste was causing the disease that killed their leader?

Wtf happened to Nikaido/Cain? Is he finally happy now that he purged his past? Was purging his past and killing his brother worth it? If Kuryu was overthrown and taken over by Mighty Warriors, what does that mean for Nikaido? Is he working for them? Was purging his past worth anything if he didn't even gain anything from it because MW took over Kuryu? Again, so many questions and no answers😭

6) Give us a more clear timeline

This isn't a plot hole, just something I wish the creators would do is give us a clearer timeline. We're never given any clear timeline of how much time has past between each movie or even how much time is between the S.W.O.R.D and Worst era. I'm always trying to calculate the timeline or everyone's ages based off of the only two characters we get ages for and Noboru's school timeline.

The only two characters in the whole franchise that we get ages for are Chiharu and Seki. At the start of the series we know that Chiharu is 20 because when he joins Sannoh, in the scene at the bar Cobra offers him a drink but takes it back and says "wait but aren't you underaged?" to which Chiharu replies that he is 20 (which is the legal adult age in Japan) and Tettsu makes fun of him for still being in high school as an adult (in good fun of course not in a mean way).

When we first are introduced to Oya, the narrator tells us that Seki is the oldest part-timer student there at age 25.

Noboru, Yamato, and Cobra were high schoolers while Mugen was still active. This is deduced by the scene where Yamato drops Noboru off in front of the school for the day he takes his exam, then when he opens up his college acceptance letter with them. I'm assuming Yamato and Cobra dropped out to be apart of Mugen and take care of their parents' shops. Then, we see when Noboru starts college but doesn't make it super far into his bachelors degree after getting sent to jail. We don't get to see how long he was in jail for, just that he was released early because Kuryu paid to get him out early.

I always use these ages and Noboru's vague school timeline to try and figure out the character's ages and shit but they are just estimates because we never get clear timelines from the creators. Like why couldn't they at least tell us how much time passed between the end of Final Mission and the start of The Worst?!😭anyways.... onto the next thing

The Worst Era (mainly X)

Like I said in the screenshot, The Worst isn't my favorite movie out of the franchise but I think it was the best executed in terms of plot out of all the movies. The plot was clear, very concise, and relatively had no plot holes. (I haven't seen The Worst Episode 0 so if there is something that is missing plot wise please let me know)

It was fun to see the cross with Housen and the themes and messages we got from not only the plot but also from each character were all really good too. It was a solid movie, no complaints.

The Worst X however... I have questions. It's not to say it wasn't good, I still liked it and obviously it was good considering I watched it with no context and it got me into the whole H&L universe, but I feel like it fell a bit short. There was more the writers could've done for not only plot development but character development.

1)How did that 3 school alliance actually even start?

From the movies, it seems like Kohei Amagai is well known as "the annoying son of the Amagai group". Like EVERYONE knows him and knows he throws around money to get people to work for him. And like yeah, we see when he is able to take control of the school with the beige uniforms because Senomon, Kamasaka, and Ebara are quite literally beating the shit out of them, but how did Senomon get Kamasaka and Ebara to cooperate?

I refuse to believe that Amagai was able to get Kamasaka who fight with weapons like brass knuckles and metal rods and Ebara who are all literal gym bros to join his stupid ass plan with just money. As dumb as I think boys are I don't think Reiji, Ghandi, Shoji, Raijin, or Fujin are actually dumb enough to join an alliance for money. Even if this alliance did win and take over Oya, what would they have done with each other afterwards? Those dudes have so much pride we all know that there is NO WAY they would all continue working under Amagai. Amagai is also stupid as hell if he thought he could be at the top without someone from Kamasaka or Ebara trying to overthrow him if he had taken down Oya like Kohei.... be fuckin for real bitch.

I need more of an explanation to this like someone from the H&L writing room please sit down with me and answer my questions so I can publish it in an interview for all of us we need answers.

2) What the fuck is the story behind Todoroki and the dudes from Ebara?

The whole time Fujin and Raijin are running around screaming about how they're gonna crush Todoroki and I literally sit there like

👁️👄👁️Why? No matter how many times I watch the movies because we never get an explanation! Idk was this in the show? Someone please tell me.

And like the scene after Todoroki beats up Fujin and Raijin, Shoji goes "you're different now" and I'm always like "Different? DIFFERENT HOW?! DON'T BE SHY SHARE WITH THE CLASS PLEASE"

Todoroki responds with something along the lines of "now I have friends to protect" which is so wholesome I love that, but what is the detailed history of him and the guys from Ebara? We never get that explained to us. I remember reading somewhere that Todoroki trained hard to beat his bullies and because he got so strong that's why he always tried to fight for the leader position because he believed he could beat Murayama. I also saw a clip on Youtube where when Murayama is fighting with Todoroki, he sees his old self in Todoroki who is being reckless which probably adds to Todoroki's character development.

Did the guys from Ebara bully Todoroki? Were they old friends who fell apart? Did they just have a bad run in when Todoroki was being a little shit and fought but now hold a grudge because they are teenagers with a lot of pride and anger issues and it's not that deep? Idk🤷‍♀️The thing that bugs me is the fact that their feud was added a solid amount to the plot and why Ebara joined then dropped the alliance so I don't know why we didn't get at least a vague explanation of who these characters are to each other.

3) Questions and what I want to see next movie

This obviously isn't plot holes but just some questions I have and what I want to see in the next installments of the franchise.

Why were these high schoolers doing THE FUCKIN MOST to see who was stronger?! The first time I watched I was so confused because why was this movie serious but also so unserious?! They did not need to be doing all that.

Why didn't Amagai get in any trouble for anything?! Is it because he has money?! Like how did this man commit literal crime and everyone was like okei. He literally kidnapped Tsukasa and tortured him for like half a day and 1 night...

How did Tsukasa not die?! The was literally beat over the head with a metal pipe, kidnapped, tied up, tortured, and then dropped from a balcony. I digress, he probably has plot armor as Sun calls it because how did he not die or at least end up in the hospital for a long time.

I want to see the movies circle back to the S.W.O.R.D plotline so it would be really cool if Amagai's little plan was part of a larger plan to break down the peace in S.W.O.R.D. It wouldn't be the first time the adults used kids to push their agenda. Kuryu originally wanted to use Murayama to tear down the peace in S.W.O.R.D because he used to look up to the man who was the head of Iemura but because he chose not to do it, they went after Noboru.

Maybe MW are thriving as the new heads of Kuryu so someone on the outside is trying to take over and Amagai's family is apart of that. Or maybe his family is trying to gain favor from Mighty and are working for them. Idk but it would be cool if we circle back to S.W.O.R.D and see the new Oya characters have to integrate into the S.W.O.R.D world also.

I also want to see a segment of how Rude Boys and Oya adjust to their new leaders.

I want to see what happened to the rest of S.W.O.R.D after the third movie. We saw Oya in The Worst era but what happened to everyone else? Which I also know these are probably kind of far fetched considering the Exile Tribe member who played Rocky is retired from the entertainment industry now... but a girl can dream I guess.

You made it to the end! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read this big rant. This wasn't proof read and is kind of everywhere but thank you for reading it anyways! ❤️

High and Low The Worst Episode 0 + High and Low the Worst

Il nemico del mio nemico è mio amico

Sono tornati. E più belli che mai.

Non mentirò: fino a quando non ho ripreso in mano la Saga di High and Low non avevo idea di tutti questi nuovi drama/film.

D'altronde dopo High and Low: the story of SWORD, High and Low 2, Road to High&Low, High&Low The Movie e High&Low The Red Rain e gli ultimi due film High & Low: End Of Sky e The Final Mission, uno pensa che finiranno ad una certa!

Ero rimasta alla fine di High and Low e la vittoria dei Nostri contro i cattivi e sapevo che mi mancava solo la serie DTC per chiudere il cerchio di tutta la storia. Certo, avevo adocchiato anche la presenza di The Worst - sia drama che film - ma l'avevo preso più come uno spin-off di High and Low, facilmente saltabile poiché non si parlava più delle vicende dello SWORD.

La mia presa di posizione era centrata In virtù anche del fattore emotivo: nessuno avrebbe mai potuto prendere il posto di Cobra, Rocky, HYUGA... sono personaggi così amati e così entrati nel profondo del mio cuore che pensare di poter affezionarmi ad altri personaggi, ad un altra storia, pareva pura utopia.

Pareva.

Perché dopo la serie ad a metà del film successivo, mi sono ritrovata a commentare sorridendo:- " alla fine ti ci affezioni a questi piccoli mostri."

Ma andiamo con ordine:

La serie - tra i due prodotti - è quella che mi è piaciuta meno. Fondamentalmente è una presentazione dei ragazzi che andranno poi ad essere i futuri protagonisti della storia ( esattamente come la prima stagione di HIGH and LOW presentava i propri componenti e basta!) e che almeno qui, non mi hanno fatto morire, onestamente.

Nota a margine per Todoroki, gemma che splende tra la bigiotteria tutta uguale.

Questo infatti è stato il mio problema con i personaggi presentati: mi sembravano tutti uguali. Nessuna particolarità, mania o caratterizzazione che potesse distinguerlo dalla massa di ragazzini intenti a conquistare la posizione di leader.

In High and Low, ogni gruppo aveva delle particolarità che li differenziava dagli altri: I Rude Boy praticavano parkur e proteggevano la loro baraccopoli, i White Rascal si vestivano tutti di bianco e proteggevano le donne ed i bambini e così via... erano talmente diversificati che li inquadravi subito.

In The Worst invece, oltre all'ambizione di conquistare la vetta dell'Oya, di questi personaggi poco si è parlato.

Ed ecco che allora Todoroki splende. Un po' perché l'ho visto leggere un libro - oggetto mistico al pari del Santo Graal - ed un po' perché la sua determinazione a sconfiggere Murayama e prenderle sempre, era davvero ammirevole.

Ho apprezzato come la sua forza non significasse necessariamente la sua posizione di leader - come ci ricorda Murayama - ma è necessario il carisma per conquistare tutti gli studenti e che questo, lo stesso Todoroki lo capisca nel finale, quando accetta Fujio come capo.

Tra questi baldi giovani alla conquista del trono, vanno notati Tsukasa e Fujio. Se il primo - uno dei più belli, esteticamente parlando - si mostra "dormiente" per gran parte della serie, il secondo passa il tempo con il nonno, facendoci sì vedere il suo buon cuore e l'essere un bravo guaglione ma d'altra parte togliendolo dall'azione per tutta la storia. Infatti Fujio entrerà in scena solo nel film.

Tsukasa poi è quello che mi ha lasciata più perplessa: chiaramente si era iscritto all'Oya per conquistare la vetta al fianco dell'amico ed è bello che si sia "fatto da parte" per amicizia accettando un ruolo "secondario." La perplessità nasce quando lo vedo andare a far a botte con Fujio per superare i propri limiti ed ho pensato che alla fine volesse anche lui partecipare alla corsa per il trono.

Ed invece no.

E la scazzottata allora? che ci siamo andati a fare?!

Va bene, non importa.

Ho visto così tante botte in testa, sediate nei reni e cazzotti in faccia che una rissa in più o una in meno ormai non mi sconvolge manco più.

E finisce così la serie di The Worst, con questi ragazzi che si presentano nelle classi, distruggendo porte, sedie, facce... mentre si urlano addosso imprecazioni ed intanto progettano la conquista del trono.

Ma.

Ma se c'è un trono vuol dire che c'è un RE.

E mi spiace per tutti loro, ma L'UNICO VERO RE è e sarà per sempre Murayama. #stacce

tutta la sua sobrietà in questa gif XD

Che qui, con questa serie e film si conferma uno dei personaggi più belli ed il mio migliore dell'intera saga.

Potrei scrivere un ode su questo personaggio, facendo notare come abbia preso un liceo di ragazzini e l'abbia trasformato in un gruppo capace di stare sullo stesso piano dello SWORD, di poter sedersi allo stesso tavolo con "i grandi " della città. Come ci ricorda la voce narrante nell'intro " Il Liceo Oya contribuisce alla forza dello SWORD".

Oppure potrei parlare della sua evoluzione da tizio forte che sa solo menar le mani a leader capace sotto i consigli di Cobra. Trasformazione che trova il suo apice sul finire di questa serie, quando Murayama nega agli studenti del tempo pieno la partecipazione agli affari dello SWORD. Capolavoro.

Ed infine potrei parlare della sua maturità sul finale del film, quando ormai diventato uomo, lascia il Liceo per diventare finalmente "grande" ed andare avanti con la sua vita, lasciando il passo alla generazione che verrà.

Perché High and Low, tra botte e amicizia, parla anche di cambiamento e crescita e nessuno più di Murayama ha saputo racchiudere questa tematica.

VOTO: 7+

E poi c'è il film.

Solo dopo averlo visto si capisce l'intento della serie precedente: un conto è vedere un centinaio di ragazzi sconosciuti che se la suonano di santa ragione. Un altro è vedere i ragazzi a cui un minimo ti sei affezionata, vederli spaccarsi teste, rotule e ginocchi in maxi risse sotto i ponti.

Ed in effetti, funziona. Funziona perché ho onestamente seguito con attenzione questi combattimenti, preoccupandomi un po' per tutti, riconoscendoli e facendo il tifo per ognuno di loro.

Il film segue diversi filoni che si riuniscono poi nel finale:

Mentre lo SWORD è in guerra con i Doubt e la yakuza, gli studenti a tempo pieno della Oya High sono combattuti tra la guerra delle fazioni all'interno della scuola, il conflitto con la Housen Academy e il tentativo di sconfiggere Kidra, una banda di spacciatori che stanno cercando di infiltrarsi nelle scuole locali.

(la vita impegnatissima degli studenti dell'Oya. E' per questo che non studiano. C'hanno da fa'!)

Murayama, che è il leader della Oya High, trova la sua posizione messa alla prova da un gruppo di ambiziosi nuovi arrivati, soprattutto lo studente trasferito Hanaoka Fujio. ( fonte mydramalist)

Ora, questa è un po' una cazzata perché tranne Todoroki, NESSUNO di questi pretendenti al trono ha mai avuto le palle di sfidare in combattimento Murayama. XD

Ovviamente i più attenti hanno già rizzato le orecchie perché leggendo questa trama c'è una parola che immediatamente dovrebbe far alzare in piedi la gente a festeggiare gasata come un furetto sotto steroidi.

Housen.

La Housen.

Ma io infatti vedevo questi ragazzi pelati con l'uniforme e pensavo:-" io questi lo ho già visti. Ma dove? sto nome non mi è nuovo."

Crows Zero docet.

Ed infatti sono proprio loro: la scuola che nel secondo film di Crows Zero si scontrò contro il Suzuran in un epica guerriglia fatta di pugni, calci, risse e mani in faccia.

Aggiungo che vengono presentati con una delle OST più belle e azzeccate di sempre. Appena ascoltata la loro canzone mi sono precipitata a scaricarla!

In questo film si presentano in una veste nuova, con nuovi attori ovviamente, ma sempre ordinati e preparati come piccoli soldatini super efficienti. e ovviamente pelati

Ma c'è di più: se nel film di Crows Zero, loro erano i "cattivi", i rivali da abbattere, questa volta sono dalla "parte nostra" ... nostri alleati. Ed è un piacere conoscerli in questa veste.

Ho dato il mio cuore a Odajima Yuken, sappiatelo. Con l'addio di Murayama ho trovato una nuova fonte di gioia.

I ragazzi dell'Housen si dimostrano dei delinquenti dal cuore d'oro ( più o meno). Degli specchi dei nostri Oya e vederli combattere tutti assieme è una gioia per gli occhi. Il film infatti, ne approfitta per delinearli e caratterizzarli un po', prima come avversari e poi come alleati.

Tra l'altro, mentre vedevo i ragazzi dell'Housen assaltare un palazzo con delle scale, dopo averle usate a mo' di scudo, pensavo:-" ed io che mi sono emozionata per la battaglia la Fosso di Helm! Guarda questi che stanno a fa'!!! "

Nota di merito poi per Fujio che finalmente viene messo in primo piano ed in relazione con gli altri: come prevedibile risulta avere quel carisma necessario ad unire l'Oya ed in più - per diversificarlo da Murayama - ha quella vena di pazzia ingenua dei bambini che ti lascia piacevolmente sbigottita.

Perché andare sotto casa del Suzuran per spiarne i ragazzi e vedere quanto sono forti è follia.

Mi ricorda un personaggio come Rufy di One Piece: quella sconsideratezza gioiosa che porta il sorriso ovunque vada.

Ma se con l'Housen di toccano i cuori degli amanti di questo genere di drama/film, è con il nome Suzuran che The Worst tocca l'epicità. Prima solo nominato - con riverenza - e poi fattaci vedere solo l'entrata, il film ti alza l'hype a livelli atomici facendoti supporre uno scontro/ sfida / incontro futuro contro i ragazzi del Suzuran.

E ma qui giochi troppo facile! mi sono gasata peggio dei bambini!

Ed infatti andando ai trailer dei prossimi drama/film di High and Low, indovina chi ci sta?!

Tornano i ragazzi della scuola più malfamata del circondario! E l'effetto nostalgia vola altissimo. Io ero anche convinta che non avrei visto più prodotti di High and Low! Ma non si può dir di no all'Housen e al Suzuran.

Tornando al film in questione, due sono le cose che mi hanno lasciata invece più freddina: la prima è la questione di Arata.

L'amico di Fujio che spaccia droga per pagare le spese ospedialiere della madre e tutto il contorno degli amici che si conoscono da bambini è idealmente molto bello. Ma devi farmelo vedere.

Il film e la serie prima ci dicono che Fujio e Takeshi ad esempio sono amicissimi, tanto che il secondo fa da braccio destro al primo, ma non viene mai mostrata questa grande amicizia nata a quanto pare in passato.

Idem per i ragazzi del bar della Nonna. Non basta farmeli vedere da bambini mangiare tutti assieme una volta per farmi percepire la grande amicizia che dovrebbe legarli. Soprattutto se poi ognuno di loro è andato e va per la sua strada.

L'altro problema è lo stesso che riscontro sempre nei drama di High and Low: i villain sono piatti come tavole da surf. Cattivi perché sì, senza nessuna introspezione o profondità che fanno cose malvagie perché gli va. Sono tutti uguali, tanto che da Ranmaru alla yakuza, per passare ai Dubt e adesso a questi Kidra, se ci metti dei cartonati al loro posto, sarebbe uguale.

Detto questo, The Worst è un bel film per chi piace veder menar le mani in modo coreografico:

ha un buon ritmo, una storia un po' contorta per gli standard di questo genere ma che poi si semplifica verso il finale, due grandi ritorni che toccano il cuore dei nostalgici come me e belle scene d'azione.

Il combattimento contro l'Housen prima e il Kidra poi è spettacolare: musiche, inquadrature, montaggio... una bella visione che non può non emozionare gli amanti delle scazzottate.

Con questo film, High and Low di apre a nuovi protagonisti che hanno un ardua missione: non far rimpiangere le colonne portanti di High and Low. Ci riusciranno? Per me è ancora troppo presto per giudicare, avendo visto solo un drama e un film ma voglio dargli fiducia.

Il pezzo forte di High and Low, oltre alle botte e ai bei messaggi d'amicizia, erano i personaggi, le loro personalità e le loro introspezioni.

Fujio può essere un buon protagonista, diverso da tutti gli altri dello SWORD. Todoroki può interpretare il freddo ma costante contraltare del leader, così come Tsukasa e Jamuo possono diventare interessanti.

Va capito se anche gli altri prodotti di The Worst prenderanno i ragazzi dell'Housen come "protagonisti" o li lasceranno in secondo piano. Ricordo che in High and Low, la serie era iniziata con Cobra ed i suoi amici come protagonisti, per poi virare sugli altri leader dello SWORD, fino ad arrivare ad approfondire Murayama, per dire. Faranno una cosa simile anche per questa storia?

Oh, a me, se mi mettono l'Housen come "protagonisti" mi va benissimo, eh!

Ed infine l'ultima cosa che ci tengo a dire:

per quanto io ami alla follia le storie di ragazzi - di cui il 99% ha superato l'adolescenza da anni - che si gonfiano per diventare il capo della scuola e le storie di scuole VS scuole, onestamente non vorrei vedere di nuovo questa dinamica.

In Crow Zero assistevamo alla scalata di Genji e nel secondo film alla battaglia del Suzuran contro l'Housen. In High and Low The Worst episode 0, seppure in misura minore, abbiamo avuto lotte per la conquista della vetta e con il film, una lotta contro un altra scuola.

Qua si è differenziato con le scuole che si univano contro gli spacciatori ed ho apprezzato il cambio di mood e vorrei che rimanesse così.

Ho un po' paura infatti, di vedere sempre la stessa dinamica sapendo già che la versione di Crow Zero rimarrà imbattibile.

Vedremo cosa accadrà.

Anche perché risulterebbe inevitabile. Con la divisione dei ragazzi dell'Oya in studenti a tempo pieno e part-time, questi ultimi non possono più partecipare agli affari dello SWORD. Ciò significa che se anche i ragazzi di High And Low si trovassero ad affrontare nemici da ogni parte, Fujio e compagnia non potrebbero essere presenti.

Ed ecco quindi che per loro, l'unica possibilità di scontro è con le altre scuole.

Boh, vedremo...

Per adesso...

Lurking on your blog for a while now and loving all the Fanta content, but seeing you mention Gekidan made me perk up with interest. They're so underrated by everyone to the point of some people not even counting them as members of Exile Tribe.

I saw your thoughts on member dynamics between the OGs and the new guys, which made me grin so much, but also a bit sad because there really isn't enough content with them.

All I know is that Onocha pretty much adopted Yuki and to a certain extent also Ken-chan (which was pretty much obvious from the start when you consider why both guys decided on joining LDH and all the more happy to be added to Gekidan; they adore their senpai and he's just as great with them as he was with Kanta when he was added years ago). As for Aki, all I know is that one hilarious interaction he and Onocha had last summer when they were together at the annual summer outing, where Aki was clinging to Onocha the whole time and even joking that he feels a little like his girlfriend (the photos of him leaning with his head on his shoulder as he clings to his arm are so good).

I remember that one thing Aki said after watching the JAM recital together with Yuki and Ken-chan, that he's looking forward to work together with the others on projects as a group. (And then "all" we get is him being adorable with Kazuma, which is really great, but it's just not the same).

But yeah, we definitely need more content with all the members together, but seeing how everyone is always so busy with their own projects is both good (for them) and sad (for us). Still, I'm not giving up hope that one day we will get another entry in the JAM franchise with all the members together.

(It's kinda ridiculous that we have more content of Gekidan adopting RMPG's Riku and being adorable cuties than of the actual members together.)

Hello! Thank you so much for your messages! I'm happily reading them and learning more about gekidan from it! My response has gotten pretty long itself so the rest is under the cut.

I don't think it's obvious given from my current fanta phase but yes I was into Gekidan Exile for a while XD (circa 2022-early 2023) I only consider myself a casual fan of them to be honest but the image of 8 gekidan members performing with taiko drums in the middle of tokyo dome before the start of Voice of Red at High&Low The Live is forever embedded in my mind as the group's image. Gekidan Exile is Fucking Cool.

I was maeken's fan before he joined gekidan (when he was active in Kamen Rider Revice). So it was only when the news of maeken joining gekidan (nov 2022) that i got interested in the group as a whole because I wanted to get to know the kind of group maeken is joining.

Since I went through the Highlow -> Prince of Legend pipeline (around 2021), their presence as prominent members of Exile Tribe was strong since they still got main roles and we can directly see their inter-group interactions. I honestly think these kind of interactions of gekidan being friendly with gene members and also as guiding senpais to the currently rising rmpg group were important to show how much gekidan is a core group in the tribe.

Eventho I was aware of them, unfortunately I wasn't following them too much as a group. Mainly bc my japanese wasn't as good back then so I relied a lot on fansubs. And unfortunately there wasnt any gekidan fansubbed stuffs at the time :'D The only member I gave some focus on was Nobu because he's directly interacting with Kazuma and a littleeee bit of Kanta bc of DTC.

I was pretty much late to the "golden" gekidan age so I wasn't able to follow anything in real time, but even in 2022 I was able to enjoy JAM series and the shows of them as a group that's available on CL 😭🙏🙏

I love that Aoyagi Sho is one of the older members but he's pretty silly who likes to tease his juniors for his own entertainment. I like hearing his loud ossan laughs since he already has a really beautiful voice 🥺 Akiyama and Ozawa san are the ones makes sure the group functions. I like how Machida Keita is pretty quiet when he's with gekidan, in comparison to his very very long list of roles, and is just enjoying their company. Masayasu's roles are always more to the loud types but I was surprised that he's very calm and collected when in gekidan. Onocha, Sway and Nobu are there (i already know their works individually so i didn't have much surprise). and Kanta is the youngest who is the receiving end of Aoyagi Sho's teasings.

I love the Camping Club shows and this gekidan wachawacha episode where Kanta dresses like a minion

This phase was unfortunately short lived bc they didn't do anything as a group after the announcement of new members and my interest in maeken was dwindling bc he wasn't in any project i'm interested in. And this was when Highlow The Worst X premiered and i diverged to another pipeline when I met Kamui -> Keito -> Fantastics.

As for Aki, all I know is that one hilarious interaction he and Onocha had last summer when they were together at the annual summer outing, where Aki was clinging to Onocha (...) (...) Aki said after watching the JAM recital together with Yuki and Ken-chan, that he's looking forward to work together with the others on projects as a group.

OH MY GOD????? I didn't realise I was so out of the loop that I didn't know any of this happening??? Jr gekidan (personal nickname) were at JAM recitals as well??? That means they've been connected even before it was announced they're joining gekidan 😭😭😭 I honestly have no source/fans of gekidan to follow so I would appreciate any and all direction to these 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

But yes!!! Gekidan is Exile Tribe!!!!!!!! And the new gekidan members are Jr Exiles (personal delusion)!!!!!!!!

I am the type of fan that likes to see how my oshi (Maeken in this group) interacts with friends and members, so I am always waiting to see more interactions between the senior and junior members. even if just a quick livestream, I want to see the group together 😭🙏

Not only that, I really do wish to see more integrated projects/activities between them and the other tribe groups like highlow & prilege, but i would consider this a pipe dream for now.

What is IPTV?IPTV is a popular form of digital-to-analog converter/transmitter technology. It delivers high-definition television programming delivered through IP networks. IPTV was first developed for enabling secure, low-cost video surveillance and control. IP TV is also useful for application deployment and IP TV services are being utilized in the retail, commercial, and public sector. IP TV delivers high-quality digital broadcast over the IP network and offers the advantage of a single IPTV subscription to multiple users.

What Is History Of IPTVIPTV was initially launched on the Internet and became part of the Broadband Technology Interface (BITP) in 2004. BITP-protected IP TV connections are supported by Unicast Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) along with standard packet broadcast. The major feature of IP TV is that it provides high-quality broadcast video traffic within a secure network, without any form of transparency or loss of data.How Does IPTV Work?IPTV technology enables television stations to transmit digital-to-digital video signal over digital-to-analog converter/transceiver (DTC/IADC) networks, which supports different class of IPTV services, such as VOD's (Video on Demand), broadcasts of live events, and recording of TV programs. The technology is based on the fact that digital broadcast traffic can be decoded by consumer receiver systems at the point of reception. The decoded signals are then sent to I-V transmitters for sending over the airwaves. The received ip tv signals are then decoded by television channels to enable transmission of the digital signal in the form of analog signals. A special decoder is used for this purpose to convert the analog signal into digital ones and vice versa.Why IPTV system is better than other TV systems.Satellite and terrestrial IPTV networks run on different technologies. While the former runs on LNB (licensed local network) while the latter utilizes ISMP (Internet Service Provider) technology. This means that the latter has better potential in gaining wider distribution. However, both have significant disadvantages, such as long distance and cost.

Η DBRS έδωσε επενδυτική βαθμίδα στη Eurobank. Δεν «τρελαίνεται» για την εξαγορά της Ελληνικής Τράπεζας

Η DBRS έδωσε επενδυτική βαθμίδα στη Eurobank, η ανάλυσή της όμως -παρά τους πανηγυρισμούς- εγείρει ερωτηματικά για το προφίλ ρίσκου και τον αντίκτυπο της εξαγοράς της Ελληνικής Τράπεζας. Παράλληλα, ο οίκος επισημαίνει τα βαρίδια στον ισολογισμό της τράπεζας, σκιαγραφώντας το δρόμο για περαιτέρω αναβάθμιση. Με αναβάθμιση της Eurobank σε επενδυτική βαθμίδα, αντίστοιχη με αυτή του Ελληνικού Δημοσίου καταδεικνύει η DBRS το συγκριτικό προβάδισμά της έναντι των υπολοίπων ελληνικών τραπεζών, καθώς η διοίκηση της πέτυχε αισθητή βελτίωση του συγκριτικού και οριακού αποτελέσματος με αντίκτυπο στους δείκτες αποδοτικότητας. Ειδικότερα, ο οίκος κατατάσσει τη Eurobank στη βαθμίδα BBB (low) στην μακροπρόθεσμη αξιολόγηση εκδότη και σε R-2 (middle) σε ότι αφορά τη βραχυπρόθεσμη. Η αξιολόγηση μακροπρόθεσμων κρίσιμων υποχρεώσεων της Τράπεζας είναι BBB (high). Η τάση σε όλες τις αξιολογήσεις πιστοληπτικής ικανότητας είναι σταθερή. Επισημαίνει ότι ο όμιλος έχει μειώσει σημαντικά τους κινδύνους που ενυπάρχουν στον ισολογισμό του τα τελευταία χρόνια λόγω μιας μαζικής διαδικασίας εκκαθάρισης δανείων και της ενίσχυσης των επιπέδων κάλυψης των δανείων του. Βιώσιμα κέρδη Ταυτόχρονα, η Morningstar DBRS σημειώνει ότι η ικανότητα της Eurobank να δημιουργεί επαναλαμβανόμενα κέρδη έχει βελτιωθεί, κυρίως λόγω των υψηλότερων επιτοκιακών περιθωρίων, καθώς και της χαμηλότερης δομής κόστους και των μειωμένων προβλέψεων για ζημίες δανείων (LLPs). Ως αποτέλεσμα, η Eurobank μπορεί να βασιστεί σε πιο ισχυρά κεφαλαιακά αποθέματα ασφαλείας για τις ελάχιστες απαιτήσεις της παρά τις προγραμματισμένες διανομές μερισμάτων που θα επαναληφθούν σύντομα. Η ακτινογραφία θώρακος της Eurobank Οι αξιολογήσεις πιστοληπτικής ικανότητας ενσωματώνουν επίσης τη σταθερή θέση χρηματοδότησης και ρευστότητας της Eurobank, η οποία επωφελείται κυρίως από μια μεγάλη και σταθερή καταθετική βάση. Ωστόσο, οι αξιολογήσεις πιστοληπτικής ικανότητας της Morningstar DBRS αντικατοπτρίζουν τη μέτρια διαφοροποίηση στο επιχειρηματικό μοντέλο, το μείγμα εσόδων και τη δομή χρηματοδότησης του oμίλου, καθώς και το υψηλό επίπεδο των αναβαλλόμενων πιστώσεων φόρου (DTC) που αντιστοιχούν στην κεφαλαιακή του δομή. Ωστόσο, το DTC πλέον αποτελεί ένα καλά αποτιμημένο asset, ιδιαίτερα μετά την επανάκτηση επενδυτικής βαθμίδας από την Ελλάδα. Η σταθερή τάση λαμβάνει υπόψη την άποψη της Morningstar DBRS ότι το περιβάλλον δυνητικά «υψηλότερων για περισσότερο» επιτοκίων είναι πιθανό να προσθέσει πίεση στο προφίλ κινδύνου του ομίλου. Ωστόσο, η Eurobank θα πρέπει να μπορεί να διατηρήσει καλές μετρήσεις ποιότητας ενεργητικού αξιοποιώντας ορισμένους παράγοντες ελάφρυνσης, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των αναμενόμενων ευνοϊκών προοπτικών για την ελληνική οικονομία σε σχέση με τον ευρωπαϊκό μέσο όρο, καθώς και της ώθησης από το Ταμείο Ανάκαμψης. Ουδέτερη με... ρίσκα η εξαγορά της Ελληνικής Τράπεζας Η Morningstar DBRS θα συνεχίσει να παρακολουθεί τις εξελίξεις γύρω από την εν εξελίξει δημόσια πρόταση της Eurobank για τις υπόλοιπες μετοχές της Ελληνικής Τράπεζας στην Κύπρο αφού έχει ήδη εξασφαλίσει πλειοψηφικό ποσοστό άνω του 55%. Με βάση προκαταρκτικές εκτιμήσεις, η Morningstar DBRS αντιλαμβάνεται ότι ο αντίκτυπος της εξαγοράς θα πρέπει να είναι γενικά ουδέτερος για τα περισσότερα πιστωτικά μεγέθη του Ομίλου βραχυπρόθεσμα με διαχειρίσιμη αρνητική επίδραση στην κεφαλαιοποίησή του. Ωστόσο, εάν επιτύχει, η εξαγορά θα ενίσχυε περαιτέρω την παρουσία του Ομίλου σε μία από τις βασικές ξένες αγορές του και θα μπορούσε επίσης να οδηγήσει σε ορισμένες θετικές επιπτώσεις μεσοπρόθεσμα, λόγω των συνεργιών που προκύπτουν από το συνδυασμό των δύο οντοτήτων. Ωστόσο, οι κίνδυνοι εκτέλεσης γύρω από τη συναλλαγή πρέπει να ληφθούν υπόψη δεδομένου του μεγέθους της Ελληνικής Τράπεζας, η οποία αντιπροσωπεύει περίπου το 25% του συνόλου του ενεργητικού του ομίλου. Βαρίδι η έκθεση σε ελληνικά κρατικά ομόλογα Το μακροπρόθεσμο χρέος της τράπεζας τοποθετείται σύμφωνα με την αξιολόγηση του δημοσίου του Ελληνικού Δημοσίου (BBB (low) με σταθερή τάση). Η Morningstar DBRS θεωρεί απίθανο ότι η τράπεζα θα αξιολογηθεί πάνω από το δημόσιο σε αυτό το στάδιο, δεδομένης της επιχειρηματικής της συγκέντρωσης στην εγχώρια αγορά και της σημαντικής έκθεσής της σε ελληνικά κρατικά ομόλογα. Η σταθερή τάση είναι επίσης σύμφωνη με την τάση της κρατικής αξιολόγησης Morningstar DBRS στην Ελληνική Δημοκρατία. Read the full article

The best wine spritzers online provide quality options for those seeking lighter drinks. Additionally, non-alcoholic spirits and beers are becoming more sophisticated, offering complex flavors without the alcohol.

Craft spirits, artisanal wines, and small-batch beers are all seeing increased demand. Premium products often highlight their unique production methods and high-quality ingredients, attracting discerning consumers.

4. Direct-to-Consumer Sales

The convenience of ordering alcohol online has led to a surge in direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales. Online wine shops and alcohol stores offer a vast selection of products that can be delivered directly to consumers’ doors.

7. Canned Cocktails and Wines

The convenience and portability of canned cocktails and wines are making them increasingly popular. These products are perfect for on-the-go consumption and outdoor activities. They also offer portion control and reduce the need for additional mixing or preparation. The quality of canned beverages has improved significantly, with many brands offering premium options that rival traditional bottled products.

8. Personalization and Customization

Personalization is a growing trend in the alcoholic beverage industry. Consumers are looking for products that can be customized to their tastes. This includes everything from personalized wine labels to custom-blended spirits. Online platforms are making it easier for consumers to create their own unique products, enhancing their drinking experience.

Conclusion

The alcoholic beverage industry is set for an exciting year in 2024, with trends focusing on health, sustainability, innovation, and convenience.

P0091 DTC Information 1. DTC description

The FRP regulator is installed on the fuel supply pump and controls the fuel amount sucked into the common rail (fuel rail). The FRP regulator is fully opened in the normal state and larger drive current results in a smaller opening of the regulator. The ECM calculates the desired common rail (fuel rail) pressure and the fuel flow rate, and compares the calculated common rail (fuel rail) pressure to the actual pressure value to determine the opening position of the FRP regulator. If the actual common rail (fuel rail) pressure is higher than the desired pressure, the FRP regulator closes to decrease the fuel flow rate. If the ECM detects an excessively low feedback current in the FRP regulator, the DTC is set.
