STORY:
The story focuses on Kenichi Shirahama, an average 16-year-old high school student who has been picked on his whole life. However, on the first day of class, he meets and befriends the mysterious transfer student, Miu Furinji. Driven by his desire to become stronger and to protect those around him, he follows her to Ryozanpaku, a dojo where those who are truly strong and have mastered their arts gather. After learning basics from Miu, Kenichi is able to beat a high ranking member of the school's karate club, and becomes a target for all the delinquents in the school. Kenichi's reason for training is to fulfill the promise he made to protect Miu.
Subsequently, Kenichi's daily routine is divided between hellish training under the six masters of Ryozanpaku, and his fights against the members of Ragnarok, a gang that views him as either a possible ally or an impending threat to their plans. After defeating Ragnarok, he faces a new enemy called YOMI, a group of disciples who are each personally trained by a master of an even bigger organization rivaling Ryozanpaku, Yami. He realized that he wanted to be the strongest in order to protect everyone without killing anyone. Along with former members of Ragnarok who joined the Shinpaku Alliance, a group created by Kenichi's schoolmate Haruo Niijima, Kenichi now fights Yami to prove his ideals and protect those in need.
THE GAME:
In Shijyou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi: Gekitou! Ragnarok Hachikengou there are 14 characters (Kenichi, Miu, Takeda, Ukita, Nijima, the eight fists of Ragnarok, and Loki's lackey # 20). A decent selection of characters and they all have their own styles from the show. Except gameplay wise, they all pretty much feel the same. Everyone has a 4 hit square combo, it just seems kind of lazy. So it basically feels like your using the same strategy with pretty much every character you use. The fights take place in 3D, so you can move up or down, but theres no jumping. Juggling seems to be one of the better ways to rack up damage, but overall the fighting system is rather simple.
For game modes, you have story mode, score attack, vs, time attack, survival, practice, mission, and omake. As for the omake thing, it looked like a sort of gallery. In the story mode there are mini games part between missions, and those mini games are also playable in the other game mode when the player unlock them playing the story part.
