You are too much of an Ikki-tousen fan so you are seeing it everywhere. woooo1 😆 Officially, no! Yes, it’s similar. But there are differences.
-Ikki-tousen has a mixed cast, Majisuka Gakuen is all girls => idols!!!! Note, IDOLS!
-Ikki-tousen has fan-service, Majisuka Gakuen has none, none at all even thought it’s all idols.
-Ikki-tousen is a typical fighting story where the heroes train/power, have masters, Majisuka Gakuen has only the fighting part and more scheming
-Ikki-tousen has superpowers/effects, Majisuka Gakuen is TV “real”
-Ikki-tousen has harems, Majisuka Gakuen has none unless you count itself.
In fact many shows these days have some manga/anime elements. For example,
Hana-Kimi, Hana Yori Dango’s rival, has 5! listed TV shows that are officially not Live Action even though the story is virtually the same with dismissible differences: Hanazakarino Kimitachihe (Chin.)
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Jap.)
Hanazakari no Kimitachi e 2011 (Jap.)
To the Beautiful You (SKorea)
Secretly Loving You (Taiwan)
Anyway, I will finish the synopsis for Majisuka Gakuen 1. I dunno if I should do the synopsis for Majisuka Gakuen 2, too, before moving to other shows. Unless you are bored of Majisuka Gakuen.
I have a dozen lined up. And for some I really want to do more since they are really good. I will do half at least.

How can Quicksilver be faster than Flash? unless Flash’s body gives out. Daisy….well, it has a bad chinese, japanese etc. name equivalent so I doubt it would be used even in their own language.

Synopsis:
Sado remembers her fight with Yuko and how she got her name from her.
With Shibuya’s defeat Sado can no longer prevent the inevitable war. Black makes her move.
Daruma and Atsuko are ambushed at night. From the shadows Black cites her poem of death for Atsuko. It’s a message for the upcoming battle. With her inhuman speed Daruma and Atsuko are unable to get hold of Black. Daruma notes it’s a bad situation. Atsuko says it doesn’t matter to her. Daruma counters it matters to the others. Atsuko replies Daruma should take care of it then. Daruma is happy to be called by her name and takes on the assignment.
At the hospital Yuko invites Atsuko to go out playing with her. Yuko drags her to the arcade and to a shrine while having fun.
Meanwhile, Sado has been missing Yuko. She visits the hospital only to find Yuko gone missing. She happens to overhear the nurses talk about Yuko’s secret and is deeply shocked.
Upon hearing that Atsuko doesn’t want friends and hates fighting Yuko tells her “hurting each other isn’t fighting” and “there are times when you discover something precious”.
Meanwhile Sado has been frantically looking for Yuko and has fallen into despair.
Sado remembers their fights together and how she admires Yuko’s cheerfulness and strenght.
Upon returning Yuko gets slapped by Sado. Yuko is surprised, yet still cheerful but freezes when seeing Sado’s troubled face. Sado apologizes and leaves without another word.
On her way home, Atsuko is met by Choukoku who informs her of Daruma’s plan to fight Black. Worried, Atsuko rushes to the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Daruma has lured Black out and lighted up the area to remove the shadows Black could use to her advantage. Black beats her up anyway when Gakuran and the Kabuki Sisters arrive to assist her. Daruma tells the surprised Black that it tastes better when eating together with friends. Black points out that she would get to eat less which shocks Daruma.
😆 From a bridge Atsuko witness them being beaten up by Black. It’s a hopeless fight.
Daruma, mobilizing all her might, happens to grab and yank off Black’s precious rosary. She freezes temporary, gets headbutted and tackled down by Daruma’s massive body. Black falls unconscious.
The girls are happy and are sharing Daruma’s victory chicken wings.
Atsuko realizes the fight has bound them together.

Yuko tells Sado to do as she pleases. Yuko says she can’t wait for the graduation in a month’s time but would love to see the view from the roof again with Sado again. Yuko tells Sado that she’s taking on Atsuko herself.

Daruma was once defeated by Shibuya with a headbutt and became her slave.
Shibuya leaves, now even more upset. Nezumi suggests to Shibuya to deal with Atsuko in her secret hideout hidden fom everyone’s view. Whether she wins or not Atsuko won’t talk about it anyway. The secret will be kept from Sado. Shibuya orders Dance to bring Atsuko before her.
Meanwhile, Daruma tries to escape (for training) but could not do it in the end.
Daruma tells Atsuko that she had trained the headbutt attack in order to reclaim her loss. She tells Atsuko that she’s going to face Shibuya and she wishes her to witness her fight.
While at work Yuko tells Atsuko to change her sad life and get friends.
Atsuko is worried and hurries to Shibuya’s hideout where Daruma is already defeated. Shibuya doesn’t let them go and keeps bullying Daruma. Atsuko gets serious. She takes on Daruma’s style which looks a lot better, too. Shibuya rushes forward and is headbutted which throws her back and renders her unconcious.

I thought this would happen. I actually wanted to have a reference post on the characters but it would have spoiled everything. I guess it will have to be posted after all. See reference post after this. I’m not quite happy with the Live action TV series of Cutie Honey, thought. It’s just so much like the old sentei shows.
I like Nat-chan’s stage performance best.
