[It's a Japanese film about two delinquent boys who bully and rob from their classmates and set their teacher's car on fire. A big, strong man is hired to swoop in and handle the two delinquent boys, and it sets one of them on a vicious path of revenge even as they drop out of high school... only to find out his friend Shinji, the more meek and subdued of the two hellions, is the natural boxer. While they had initially begun training to get revenge on the strong man, he's soon forgotten, as Shinji takes to boxing as a career, and Masaru to a more formal life of crime under the yakuza.
Only, the fun, glamor, and drugs of the prize fighter's life leads to Shinji self sabotaging and ruining himself and his career within two short years. Likewise, Masaru cannot seem to come to terms with following the rules of order and accepting rank if it means he must be below anyone, and the two are jobless and without prospects, connections, or degrees in their mid-20s as Japan faces another economic downturn.
The two ride around a bike on their old high school's P.E. lot oddly peppy for two who had lost everything in a quest to avenge their pride here at a school where anyone had known them had long graduated, and where students now only see some sad adults doing bike laps on the grounds. Supposing themselves never to have had any prospects or hope to begin with, things aren't really so different for them now than they were in high school, and they shall simply have to start again.]
