Rival Schools: Official Complete Works HC collects the artwork from all three Rival Schools games, presenting key art, character illustrations, development sketches, and unused concepts in a single definitive volume.

Fans will discover concept stages, palette explorations, and design notes that reveal how the rivalries and tag-team dynamics — like hot-blooded rivals and their social slang — were brought to life. With 192 pages of full-color art, the book chronicles the series’ evolution across titles, illustrating iconic characters, their outfits, and moves, alongside development stories and behind-the-scenes details. The volume serves as both a celebration of Rival Schools and a reference for aspiring game artists and designers who love stylized character-driven combat.
