I'd argue that the Worst spinoffs wasn't able to meet the expectations that it's preceeding titles had placed. The themes behind the characters are very surface-level and straightforward but perhasp that was the intent as the targeted demographic may be young men.
The story adds good stakes after the school was attacked and devastated, it captured the hopelessness of the situation well only ruined by the letter Ueda Sachio gave to Hanaoka Fujio earlier on, declaring that Housen would help Oya should they need it.
If this wasn't explicitly shown, I believe the story would have much more apprehension. Hanaoka Fujio especially feels like a very childish superhero character that is not realistic like the rest of the cast, he easily gains the support of the people around him even with his lack of insight.
Hanaoka Fujio is not a leader that Oya High needs but it seems as if he was just written to be. Other than that, everyone else is acceptable as a character even though they are very static and flat characters.
Takajo Tsukasa's character in High & Low the Worst Zero added much depth and complexity to his character and Murayama Yoshiki was the best example of growth and dynamic characterization from this franchise evident by his popular place in fan votes. However everyone else, especially for what seems to be the main protagonist; Hanaoka Fujio, he needs a bit more depth.
