Bad Company is an Origins Episode prequel to the manga GTO: The Early Years, better known for its sequel Great Teacher Onizuka. The single-volume (10-chapter) manga tells the story of how Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma first met as teenagers, and became Bōsōzoku.It was created by Tooru Fujisawa while he was still working on GTO, and serialized in 1996 by Weekly Shōnen Magazine. The collected volume was published by Kodansha in 1997, and a live-action film adaptation was released in 1998, but no subtitled version was ever made.

Honor Among Thieves: Ironically, stealing the motorcycle that Eikichi and his friends worked so hard to restore is a serious offense to the Running Wild Angels.

Defeat Means Friendship
 Bad Company (Manga) / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship: Ryuji attempted to establish his dominance at his new school by picking a fight with Eikichi, the strongest delinquent there, but after neither of them could defeat the other, they gain a grudging respect for each other. They become Fire-Forged Friends after taking on the Skull Gang together.

Adaptation Deviation
 Bad Company (Manga) / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: The film broadly follows the same story, though the characters know Natsuki from the beginning (the porn-buying scene in the manga where they meet her is changed to a filler scene where Ryuji and Eikichi sneak into a video store and steal a porno tape from a guy who just rented it). Ryuji gets a stray dog as a Morality Pet, which didn't appear in the manga. The ending was also slightly changed, with Akira actually dying of his wounds, but taking the blame for stabbing himself to protect Natsuki so she doesn't go to jail.

Domestic Abuse: Natsuki's boyfriend, Nezu Akira, shows up in the second half and beats her, threatens Ryuji, and demands a huge amount of money for the motorcycle Natsuki gave him. He almost kills Ryuji several times, and would have if not for Natsuki stabbing him.

 Bad Company (Manga) / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: The film of Bad Company condenses the storyline a little, having Eikichi and his friends know Natsuki from the beginning, and her owning (and living at) the cafe where they hang out. She's the one who saves Ryuji and Eikichi from the Skull Gang.

Shameless Fanservice Girl: Downplayed with Sakura, the only girl who hangs out with Ryuji and Eikichi's gang. She frequently offers to show them her panties to get them to stop fighting, or to take her along when they go somewhere.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. In the film version, Ryuji adopts a dog he found in a box, and rushes it to the school nurse's office when it's injured. He's just as mean and violent to humans, though.

Cool Big Sis: Middle school-aged Onizuka and Ryuji meet 18-year-old Natsuki, who takes them riding in her car, and even lets Ryuji try driving it (which she quickly regrets). She lets Ryuji sleep over at her place when his parents lock him out, and gives him her old motorcycle. Ryuji is willing to die for her (and almost does, when her abusive ex-boyfriend shows up).
