Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the true story of the 'Knight Club,' an actual student volunteer group from Waseda University. Director Kenta Fukasaku (son of Battle Royale's Kinji) specifically sought non-A-list actors to maintain authenticity.
The title's grammatical awkwardness ('Wanna') is deliberate—it's the actual broken English the real group used on their fundraising flyers, capturing their well-meaning cluelessness perfectly.
