Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series reflects Japan's actual police academy dropout rates and the 'kōhai-senpai' hierarchy's psychological toll on recruits.
Kazama's classroom positioning—always backlit, often framed through doorways—visually establishes him as both gatekeeper and imprisoned figure.
