Traditional
Primary
The film champions individual transformation and redemption through discipline, hard work, and the guidance of a strong mentor within a structured environment (sports), aligning with conservative values of personal responsibility and traditional character building.
The movie features casting that is traditional for its cultural context, without engaging in explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative, typical of a high school sports drama, maintains a neutral to positive framing of its protagonists and does not include a critical portrayal of traditional identities or strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "Rookies: Sotsugyô" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. As such, there is no direct portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
The film "Rookies the Movie: Graduation" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative primarily focuses on a high school baseball team's journey and challenges, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences present in the storyline.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a direct continuation of a Japanese manga and TV drama series. All major characters, including the teacher and the male baseball team, maintain their established genders from the source material and prior adaptations.
