This is an officially approved, so-called "official story." It explores a parallel world, with most of the characters being students and teachers at the private school "Gakuen BASARA" based on the theme, "What if warlords were modern-day high school students?" Gakuen BASARA has given rise to many famous quotes, so we'll introduce them here.

10th Place: The Demonic Principal's Appearance

"These fools don't study hard. Did they commit this outrage knowing that I, the principal of BASARA Academy, am Oda Nobunaga? Divine punishment!"

The principal is, as expected, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. His confident words to the students who were causing trouble on the school grounds are truly impressive. Also, a student council election breaks out to replace Hideyoshi, who was suspended after being scolded by the principal. Since Gakuen BASARA is set in the present day, even the conflicts seem quite peaceful.

No. 9: Date Masamune Shows His True Skills

"Let's party!!!"

Baseball team vs. soccer team. He gets into a fistfight with Sanada Yukimura of Kachikachiyama, but is stopped by Sarutobi Sasuke (the monkey), who then suggests they take the field in a football tournament. Football is a sport that combines soccer and baseball, with kicking and throwing. Date is furious, but when Katakura Kojuro says "Let's do it," he gets into the groove. Sanada kicks (throws) at the pitcher, and Date hits with six bats, yelling "Let's party!" and hitting like crazy. Just like Date Masamune. Nostalgic... Date dialect.

8th Place: Ieyasu's Sly Show-Off

"Tadakatsu should apologize."

Ieyasu's voice actor, Masuda, was substituted for Okawa, and he delivered a refreshing performance. Ieyasu asked Tadakatsu to forgive him, saying he was just handing out flyers, then cleverly demonstrated his appeal for the student council president position by showing off the flyers he was handing out, and asked for everyone to vote for him, using the power of Date and the bonds they share in their "Bond Appeal."

No. 7: Chosokabe Gets a Reprimand

"Chosokabe, wear a helmet when you ride your motorcycle."

Chosokabe Motochika arrives on the school grounds on his motorcycle. He's furious at having hurt those guys. Ieyasu tries to persuade him with his bond, but Chosokabe charges at Ieyasu with his motorcycle. Something hits him in the face (choke), and Magoichi-sensei appears, enraged, yelling, "Chosokabe, wear a helmet when you ride your motorcycle." Magoichi-sensei's warning to the thug Chosokabe Motochika is simply amazing.

No. 6: The Black Hand

"Sarutobi-kun from the Newspaper Club could take Ichi's place..."

The principal has ordered his younger sister, Ichi, to investigate the school's club activities. He's extremely strict: any club not worthy of support must be immediately abolished! Those many hands, those devilish hands, are now reaching out towards Sasuke. He has no choice but to obey. Ichi collapses under the pressure while investigating, so Sasuke from the Newspaper Club takes over.

5th Place: Doctor Akechi

"This marks the end of the dreaded club activities. Our bloody school life begins. Oh dear, soon a flood of seriously ill students will be rushing to the infirmary!"

It was the school nurse, Mr. Akechi, who restrained Sasuke and caused trouble for each club. That's not what a school nurse should do. He was stirring up trouble to attract more students to the infirmary. Just as you'd expect from Mr. Akechi, the pervert he's known for.

4th Place: The Consistent Kasuga and Kenshin

"Are you hurt? I'm glad you weren't seriously injured. My beautiful sword."

There's oil on the balance beam. Kasuga falls because of it. A sparkling space is created. Kasuga looks good in the rhythmic gymnastics club, and Kenshin is a teacher after all. Even a teacher and student would do this? As expected, Kasuga.

3rd Place: Yukimura Aiming to Be a Bad Guy

"It's okay to fail. The important thing is to try. I think that's what the Master wanted to convey. In fact, my husband worked hard, and that's how he grew."

Even when Keiji invites Yukimura to hang out, Yukimura, busy with homework and club activities, can't stay with him. He's a diligent honor student who devotes himself to his studies and club activities. Keiji tells Yukimura that he should learn a little bit about bad things. Yukimura is trying to follow the Master's example and walk the path of bad guys. It seems like he's trying hard to do things he's not used to. Yukimura gets a fever from thinking too much about bad things he's not used to. Sasuke comforts Yukimura when he's feeling down, just like a mother!

No. 2: The fate of Keiji's love

(No Missing a Love Midterm Exam)

Keiji makes a fierce advance on Mr. Magoichi, but he's ignored him. In an attempt to make the stubborn Keiji give up, Mr. Magoichi gives him an impossible task. He must get 80 points or above on the next test. It's a surprisingly generous condition. Keiji's imagination is already racing as he recalls his promise with Mr. Magoichi. His face is incredibly slack. Keiji prepares a ton of cheat sheets. In the end, he gets below 80 points on the physics test taught by Mr. Magoichi, and the date is canceled. However, he's told, "You can do it if you try. So don't try anything sneaky," so perhaps he'll study hard from now on?

No. 1: Male Friendship!?

(I'll admit it, Sanada Yukimura. My rival...)

Yukimura is at the mercy of Masamune, who wields a vanishing magic ball, but his fighting spirit is ignited when the soccer club advisor, the lord, appears. Yukimura sees the ball with his mind's eye and hits it back. After a heated battle, they finally acknowledge each other as rivals. Perhaps this means their relationship has finally returned to the same level as in the main game.

Summary

School BASARA is fundamentally the same as the main Sengoku BASARA game. The all-star cast makes the most of each character's unique abilities, and it's fun!
The chaotic atmosphere, energy, and character development are all intact, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. As with the story, be sure to pay attention to the famous lines spoken by each character.
