Jigoku-no-Hanazono: Office Royale (2021) *spoilers*
Never thought I’d see the cute Mei Nagano kicking butt as a delinquent alongside Alice Hirose who does the same!
It’s a funny movie about office ladies of different cliques at work forming their own gang to exert dominance over the company. Mei Nagano manage to remain neutral thus far without getting involve in any gang, going about her daily work life with two of her colleagues who are the same as her.
As the gang war continues, a new employee, Alice Hirose arrives and upset the balance of power when she got caught in the middle. But she proves to be the strongest fighter of them all emerging as the ultimate victor, being able to take on them all single handedly, unifying the different gangs under her leadership.
Although good in fighting, Alice Hirose struggles at her job and learns from her senior, Mei Nagano. She began to like her and they got very close. Her reputation of her prowess reach the rival gangs from other companies who wants to challenge her by kidnapping Mei Nagano to lure her into a trap.
Alice Hirose is furious that she confronted the rival gang alone wanting to take them all down single-handedly as she always does, against the advice of her own gangs as the new rival is known to be much more formidable and ferocious as she later learn when she was taken down after several intense duels.
This is where the story takes an interesting turn. Upon seeing Alice Hirose being knocked out unconscious for the first time, Mei Nagano decides to take matters into her own hands and save her instead, revealing her true nature as a fighter as well, something she hid from everyone including Alice Hirose.
It is revealed that she grew up in a family of delinquents where she’s the youngest, learning to fight from her elder brothers. But she resented fighting and doesn’t want to get involve in gang wars like her brothers, as she prefers a simple normal life as an office lady like everyone else.
While Alice Hirose gang believes her to be the one to take down the new rival on her own, only the rival knows that it was Mei Nagano was the one who took them down. Mei Nagano though their defeat would deter them from appearing in her life and life goes on with Alice Hirose as the leader of the gang.
But things did not go to plan as the rival shows up again, this time with their undefeated boss who wants to challenge Mei Nagano to a duel. Meanwhile, Alice Hirose’s pride is hurt being defeated for the first time and with the gang learning the truth, that she too wants to fight Mei Nagano.
It’s a fun movie to watch, it’s as crazy as Kyō Kara Ore Wa!! which features female fighters fighting delinquents too (Kanna Hashimoto and Seino Nana). I like the strong chemistry between Alice Hirose and Mei Nagano, and seeing them kicking butts, which makes the movie entertaining to watch.
