Although Toyoda tried to focus on the human emotions between his characters, he didn't exploit his main leads' potential to the fullest. However, the fighting sequences to reach that objective were surprisingly demure and repetitive in a worrisome way. The fight to become Suzuran's top leader was still used as the main thread to drive the plot. To make things clear, this film had too many similarities with its famed prequels. Crows Explode leaned to the realistic side way too much which was a bit wrong in my opinion don't get the wrong idea, immersing the characters and fighting scenes in realism didn't sound like a bad treat but when it's over-done with this type of film then things are bound to become bothersome. After all, two different directors have entirely dissimilar ways of making their pictures. That being said, I never expected Toyoda to do the same. Being a fan of Miike's filmmaking, it was unavoidable to miss the highlighted foolish characterization, extreme violence and hilarious black humour inserted everywhere.
But after viewing it, I can clearly state that it falls behind compared to its prequels. Despite the absence of Miike, Oguri Shun, Yamada Takayuki and the rest of the amazing crew, I never actually held previous prejudices on Crows Explode.
