Remember this is in Japan my guy. The girls hit the guys first, the Japs would see that as the actual assault, as disproportionate, and not even trying to retreat. Stand your Ground is such an American concept you might forget basically almost everywhere else in the world if you do not try to run away you basically don't have a claim to self-defense.Let's say the video was roughly 7-10 minutes long encompassing the girls performance, the boys partial performance, and finally the confrontation between the two bands since the boys' manger recorded roughly everything. Even with the boys' presumed family clout and influence it can be clearly seen in the video that while the girls were rude and crude in their conversation with the boys after the boys' on stage crash out it was the boys who initiated the violence, and the girls actions could easily be seen as self defense. Not only that but there is the establishment's owner who witnessed it all and can collaborate with the video. Needless to say the boys dodged one hell of a bullet because their manager had a conscious. Dumbasses.
I think in the US, you'd also end up in a shitty situation if you tried to resolve a personal issue by force. However, in today's US, such a segment would likely end in another culture war and a holy battle online over the its context of boys versus girls. Modern Western people will instantly go crazy if you give them anything that can be used to glean some gender nuance.Remember this is in Japan my guy.

I am actually amazed they didn't even mention the defamation claim the boys would have. Remember in Japan ruining someone's image IS defamation, even if what you're saying is 100% true facts easy to verify and with a ton of evidence.
on the other side of it - the boys might be New Money, but the girls are all Old Money.Remember this is in Japan my guy.

Well yeah, that's why it ended. But that wasn't the point I was addressing.on the other side of it - the boys might be New Money, but the girls are all Old Money.
By the same logic of how conservative and hierarchical Japan is, Old Money trumps New Money, especially when that Old Money apparently holds the purse strings that New Money has access to.
That realization on Bacchaus' part is why they all backed down so quickly.
Didn't matter how influential they thought they were or how airtight a case they might have believed they had, whatever the actual evidence -
You saw how quickly the dad hung up from a single word uttered out of context. That is the real deciding factor in all of this, "defamation suit" or otherwise.
Considering the fact we've already confirmed this ain't a Class S setting nor a parody due to actual hard coded definitions one can look up,the more pressing issue is that of all the stuff they skipped from the animated series,them bringing up how corrupted the posers was got skipped!Sometimes when I read this manga, I feel like I'm reading a crude yuri hentai where the premise was later rewritten for a Class S setting and the dialogues was adjusted to formally discuss music and self-improvement, lmao. Especially given the local running gag where girls describe rock music through JAV cliches.
