Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tenjho Tenge centers on martial arts, rivalry, and high school drama without pushing identity politics or prioritizing character attributes over actual personality and skill. Characters are diverse in ability and motivation rather than just background, and the plot is driven by action and drama, not any larger ideological message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like fighting spirit, perseverance, and familial honor are showcased. Masculinity is embraced rather than mocked, and while strong female characters exist, they face real challenges and aren’t placed on an unreasonable pedestal. There’s no significant cultural revisionism or undermining of religion or traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

A range of character views and motivations are presented. There’s no overt demonization of any worldview, and the story stays focused on personal conflict and growth, not collective or ideological battles. Alternative perspectives are fairly represented through various characters.
