Oh no, actually, Takuya Imamura and Yoosuke Aoki have successfully transformed into second-dimensional delinquents. They're much less fierce than they used to be.
Although, truth be told, they weren't that fierce back then either...
Then there's Koji Ishida, who always calls himself Ai Bo. He's been pretty well-behaved lately, neither trying to conquer the world with Sawahei Shirakawa nor having any new arguments with his girlfriend... calm like a certain retired Yuri Hime.

"Ai Bo! I knew you were here."
Koji Ishida's face turned red, as he walked over with his girlfriend Yamei, excitedly saying, "Long time no see, Ai Bo..."
Sawahei Shirakawa hesitantly glanced at Koji Ishida, nodded as a greeting and said, "Yes... it's been a while..."
