   	Thanks for the correction.   
   	But the Sukeban in Sukeban Deka has no gang so maybe   
   bad girl or tough girl would be more apt.  At least Arashi is   
   using nun-chucks rather than a yoyo.  She seems to be over-powered   
   in the way she knocks the chauffeur about.   
      
   	How close to being a sukeban does Madoka get in KOR?   
   Depends on which Madoka in which parallel world I guess but   
   Kasuga keeps her from realizing her delinquent potential in   
   the everyday world of KOR.   
      
   	I thought the connection between us Yankees and those   
   Yanki was the arrogant attitude the yanki display similar to   
   that of the occupying power.  But the yanki don't care about   
   conventional values which is why they are free to go ahead   
   and dye their hair, act rudely as does the judoka yanki in   
   Yawara, and get into crime, et al.  Some as Kenneth says get   
   over it and get regular jobs as they are not well enough   
   connected to get into the yakuza.  Others join construction   
   companies which are often yakuza front companies.
