Crayon Shin-chan: Shrouded in Mystery! The Flowers of Tenkasu Academy (クレヨンしんちゃん 謎メキ！花の天カス学園, Kureyon Shin-chan: Nazo Meki! Hana no Tenkasu Gakuen)[2] is a 2021 Japanese anime film produced by Shin-Ei Animation. It is the 29th film of the anime series Crayon Shin-chan. The director of the film is Wataru Takahashi and screenplay is written by Kimiko Ueno.[3] The film deals with the stressful & competitive environment of Japan's higher education sector.

Synopsis

[edit]

The film's story begins with Shinnosuke and his friends of "Kasukabe Defence Force" experiencing a one-week stay in "Tenkatōitsu Kasukabe Private Academy" (nicknamed "Tenkasu"), an elite boarding school that is administrated by a state-of-the-art AI, "Otsumun". All the students are given a badge initially with 1000 points and their points are increased/decreased by Otsumun based on their behaviors and academic performance. All the students are subjected to mental stress in order to foster an unending competition among their peers to obtain the highest score & becoming 'elite'. Those who hols the higher points receive preferential treatment from the AI, while those with lesser points faced severe stress from the Otsumun & bullying from their peers. But recently, the school campus is plagued by the attacks of a vampire, who bites the students with high points on their buttocks, causing them to become infantile.

In the campus, Masao is unable to cope up with the stress & bullying in the campus, so he becomes a rebel & joins a group of delinquent students. Bo befriends a girl named Yororo, who exhibits anti-social & misanthropic traits to hide her enthusiasm for wildlife (which wasn't appreciated in the campus). Kazama, who always harboured ambitions of becoming elite, is attacked by the vampire, leaving him intellectually retarded. His friends with the aid of a female student Chisio Atsuki, a former athlete who used to excel in marathon running, but gave it up after receiving injury to her feet due to the bullying she endured for the deformities her face would endure during the process, try to solve the mystery.[4] The vampire is revealed to be Sasuga, the highest scoring boy in the academy, who was in secretly love with Chisio but was forbidden to interact with her due to the school' elitist set-up, so he had had devised an instrument with the aid of Otsmun (who in turn had been directed by the principal to devise a way to promote as many students to elite rank as possible in order to secure the school's reputation) to artificially manipulate the intelligence of students (hence the bites on the buttocks & intellectual retardation), so that Chisio could be propelled forward in the ranks, but Chisio rejects his help. Otsmun then conducts the experiment on Kazama, brainwashing him in the process, thereby making him 'elite'. The new 'elite' Kazama, under the control of Otsmun, invites people to get brainwashed in order to become 'elite', but Shinchan states that getting yakisoba bread from the food stall in the campus is far difficult than becoming 'elite'. Otsumun-Kazama then challenges Shinchan & his friends to a marathon to obtain the food item, in order to prove that superiority of artificial intelligence over human intelligence. Shinchan & his friends, aided by Chisio, Yororo & other delinquent students beat Otsumun in the marathon & regain back the normal Kazama.
