I'm still thoroughly convinced Naoko Takeuchi was watching these shows in the 80's and thought "Man this shit is cool". Especially since you see earlier Sailor Moon concept art where Usagi Tsukino is sporting a long flowing skirt and a pistol. Hell even the "Make UP!" thing helping the characters with their disguise (even if it doesn't really show up on the page) is probably inspired by this too. Mostly just speculation on my part BUT if these Delinquent Girl shows really DID have an influence on Sailor Moon, that would mean that the Pretty Cure franchise shares a lineage with these Sukeban as well.

Thank you for covering these shows in the sukeban genre. I don't know how to explain it but the sort of unique flavor to drama-action stories within this time period is something I feel like has been missing from the modern manga and anime. We have alot of delinquent stories or characters based on the setting but not really a lot of stories wholly focused on delivering the entire package. So it's really cool to see and learn about these shows that I would have no way of knowing about letting alone watching.

I thought the rival to Sukeban Deka would have been about good Japanese students that do all their work on time, but it's shot like a fight scene from an anime. "I must pass this test to make my father proud! I WILL NOT FAIL!"

Not really. Japan -like any other country- use fiction to run away from their reality. In reality, studying and school is terrible, and too strict. They feel smothered. So when creating fiction, they make it the opposite of their reality for escapism purposes. The more unrealistic and wild it is, the better and more entertaining.

Kenny it is time we talk about your crime fighting Sukeban obsession. One video about crime fighting Sukebans? sure it is the novelty. Two videos? well is just a sequel. Three videos? everybody loves trilogies, why not. But come one man, at this point you can make a series out of this, and call it Sukeban Saturdays.

It's funny how the original Sukeban Deka was more or less believable, but once it spun off sequels and spin-offs the whole genre lost it's mind. I think Yuki Saito is still my favorite out of all of them since she does treat it like it's real, but I won't lie and say I didn't get enjoyment out of the whole lot. It's like acknowledging Godzilla is a metaphor for the atom bomb, but still enjoying watching him jump on King Ghidorah's face. There's a place for both.
