Todoroki and Odajima stole the show

I don't know how to feel about this one.

I didn't really like the plot. It's a bit messy to me. There were many new characters introduced in this movie, whom I didn't really have many feelings about. Since they didn't have backstories that are deep enough for me to feel anything yet.

The main characters' stories also felt weaker than the previous movie. I also think it's probably the weakest one throughout the High&Low universe. I feel like this is not the High&Low that I am familiar with anymore. Most of the fights seem so meaningless now, except for the ones in the second half and the final battle. I feel like they just kept fighting for nothing. I also feel like this is not really a story about friendship and brotherhood, but it's more like a BL movie disguised as a movie about friendship. I don't dislike it, though. I pretty enjoyed it, to be honest. It's just not really the High&Low bonding I was used to.

The fight scenes were still done pretty well, even though they felt a bit more unrealistic compared to the previous movies. I loved the High&Low's iconic theme music and the movie's new soundtrack songs too.

There are actually a few supporting characters that stole the show for me. They are Todoroki and Odajima, and Sachio's brief appearance at the end, who were already introduced before. Todoroki and Odajima were already badass dudes when they were alone. Who can imagine they would become close friends? And that's so perfect! They were such a powerful duo.
