I'd be lying if I said the way you feel didn't make me happy.
But as you can see, I can barely even speak.
You can still get better.
There's nothing to be done.
That's too sad.
My life's reached the point where I can reunite with the people I've been missing.
Don't give up, landlord!
I wish you would give up!
Your voice is just fine!
I've had it!
I don't have the money to move!
I'll return your entire deposit!
Actually, I'm amazed you lived here this long.
It was scary, honestly.
You scare me, Onizuka-kun.
Summer is just around the corner.
It's now been three months since Shounan West High School
I'm going to be a great man in Tokyo!
and Meishuu Academy combined,
and became Meishuu Shounan High.
Nobody told me we were having a school-wide assembly.
Discriminating against the school nurse, huh?
Don't ask me.
They need replacements for the people who didn't come.
Therefore, to further improve the school,
we've decided to send teachers from Meishuu Academy here.
I'll introduce the teachers who are coming here from Meishuu Academy.
Yes!
It couldn't be...
I'm going to be a great man in Tokyo! By Onizuka Eikichi
Mr. Onizuka! What on earth are you doing?!
That's...
No way.
...a teacher?
Seriously?
Hey, guys!
Leave! Leave!
Get out of here! Go!
Not good...
Hey, take mine, too!
Sorry for the trouble!
That was hilarious.
I'm honored.
That wasn't a compliment.
I'm sorry.
So how does it feel to be back at your old school?
It's a good feeling.
You got to see your former teachers, too.
Not that I wanted to.
But I didn't call you here to reminisce.
I want you to usher in a new wind,
even more than you did at Meishuu Academy.
Ah, yes...
Hello, hello, hello.
I'll be your new assistant principal, Uchiyamada Hiroshi.
My favorite food is grated yam.
On the other hand, I don't like black cats.
Not too long ago...
That's not "the other hand"...
I'm the head teacher for the grade, Oomae.
This is Miss Fujikawa Honami,
the teacher of Class 2-A.
Nice to meet you.
You can use this for your desk.
Oh, excuse me.
Kihara
He gave up.
But Mr. Kihara is supposed to be on vacation, right?
Is it okay to use his desk?
He's not coming back.
He was rather, well... you know.
He was in a nasty depression.
He got what he deserved.
He was in a relationship with a student and got found out.
Then he gets depressed? Is that some sick game?
You spent an awful lot of time writing that.
What is it?
Starting today, I'll be your assistant teacher.
I'm Great Teacher Onizuka, also known as...
Onizuka Eikichi.
Nice to meet you.
Okay, everybody take your seats.
Hey, Usami-kun.
Don't.
Good morning.
Morning!
Good morning.
Good morning!
Hey!
How can you be late and act that way?
She's an amateur model.
You had a photo shoot, right?
Yup. I had to come in at 5.
It was set against the morning sun. It was really pretty.
Wow!
The morning sun!
So bright!
Is that student absent?
That seat is...
Miyaji-san is...
She lives far away.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's, like, 50... 5 hours? 50 hours? Away?
Okay, let's have another great day today.
If anything happens, talk to me.
Got it?
Yes, Miss Honami.
Don't use my first name.
Yes, Miss Honami.
Okay, start getting ready for class.
Wait a second.
Wait, I said.
I'm ignoring you.
Who sits in that empty seat?
It's fine.
What's fine?
You'll know soon enough.
C'mon, tell me now.
You don't get it, do you?
Get what?
A hint! Get the hint already!
And who were all those people you brought to the gym?
They're my friends.
They came to celebrate my new job in Shounan.
They've got their own jobs, too. They're nice guys.
I didn't know anyone wore their hair like that for a new job.
Your appearance tells what kind of person you are.
I don't think you should judge people based on their appearance.
If you're supposed to be a teacher, then why don't you act like one?
And what does a teacher act like?
How old are you?
Ow!
That's hot!
That wakame's really hot!
Hey, Tomo. You know ostriches, right?
The bird?
The bird.
They can't fly, but they've got really strong legs.
Really strong?
They can run 80 kilometers an hour, for a full hour.
For real?
For real.
So what are we talking about?

Isn't that as hopeless as saying "Don't give up on life"?
Hey, now.
But wait.
Maybe he'll open his own hospital someday!
Hey, hey.
What about me?
I was kidding.
Whew, good.
There it is again! You really like these, huh?
We do!
Okay, you two men enjoy these by yourselves.
Bye.
Bye-bye!
They're really on fire today.

Where are you going, Usami-kun?

Want to go get a drink tonight?
Sure.
Where should we go?
You know where.
You love that place, don't you?
Wait a second, Fuji-san.
Where are you going?
Fuji-san!
A new message from Onizuka!? The GTO App is now available! Hit the D button for details.
Fuji-san?
I haven't even started yet.
That's the problem, you idiot.
Onizuka returns to his home school in Shounan, and unleashes his passionate lessons for its problem students
Why the gym?
Hey, good work, everyone!
Oh, down. Down, please!
Good! Thank you!
I can't believe our problem child is back.
And I'm amazed you're still working here at Shounan, Fuji-san.
Director Sakurai told me to let you use this.
You don't have a place to stay yet, do you?
I don't.
Well, it'll be hard on an assistant teacher's salary.
Yes, this is a big help.
10,000 yen a month will do.
You're charging me?
Huh?
I mean, of course you are.
It's a corner room with a south window.

It comes with dust, too.
I don't need the dust.

What are you doing, you pervert?
Don't lie!
I haven't lied yet.
You're going to!
I really did hear someone who sounded sick.
You just wanted to peek, didn't you?
Here's the report.
Why not give it to the assistant?
It's the teacher's...
My responsibility.
I just typed "teacher."
That's funny.
Kamiya-san...
Your report.
For what?
Nurse's Office
Now you stamp it.
Right, right.
She doesn't have a fever. I think she's fine.
I just got a little dizzy.
I've gotten taller.
Still, give this to your mom, okay?
Okay.
Take care.
You're awake?
Oh, you're here.
You're our teacher.
You should take care of yourself, too.
Miyaji Meiri Freshwater Elegy
What's wrong?
Nothing... I'm fine.
That was it?
What?
I don't think she just got dizzy.
She was throwing up!
You were just measuring your height, weren't you?
Didn't you weigh yourself, too?
It'd been so long...
She said she's fine.
She did, but...
It's a teacher's job to believe their students.
You don't believe her.
Shut up.
Thanks to you, I have another useless report to write.
You said this morning that if something happened, they should talk to you.
That's right, you did.
You don't know that.
Isn't this the time to talk to her?
I like that.
Good things don't always come of butting into students' lives carelessly.
We're going drinking tonight.
So I said to him, "Onizuka, you asshole, show me your teacher's license."
And then?
He was seriously a teacher.
I totally did a double take.
He's got that weird hairdo, too.
Hey! It's Uncle Barhopper!
It is! It's Uncle Barhopper!
You're drinking again today, huh?
Sure am!
That's my job!
There's no such job.
If there were, I'd switch jobs.
What, what? What happened? What happened?
I'm a good listener.
Well, see, I know you've got to work to survive,
but there are still times when I wonder why I'm working.
I think I was just dissed.
You retired, Uncle Barhopper.
You can be proud.
You're just drunk.
Maybe I should've just stayed an assistant.
You said you wanted to be a real teacher.
Did I?
You did.

I'll eat while I'm out.
And you won't need to make my lunches for a while.
Mariko?
They changed the school lunch menu.
All the new stuff looks really good, so I decided to try it all.
Bye.
Fuji-san? You mean that Fuji-san?
Yeah. Not the mountain.
He kicked our asses...
...so many times.
It's starting to ache right around here...
Happened to me, too.
He still resides here in Shounan?
Hey, Ryuuji.
He's not even here and I got all formal...
Reflexes are scary things.
Yeah, it's impossible to imagine now.
Well, things will have changed in 10 years.
Has it been that long?
Eikichi, you should be a teacher like Fuji-san.
Oh, without the violence, though.
I know that.
Seriously, though, who left this?
Pray to it. It's good luck.
Really?
Yeah.
Working hard, gentlemen?
Working on what?
By the way, what's he doing in Shounan?
It might actually be a promotion?
They found out he was stealing uncensored DVDs and demoted him out here.
You're doomed, Saejima.
I haven't even started yet.
That's the problem, you idiot.
Well...
But thanks to my promotion,
we're all together again!
The three of us, back home!
Right?
There's one more coming soon, though.
One more? Who?
Mari-chan, over here.
I'll introduce you.
She came up and asked me out, so now she's my girlfriend!
Hey, Mari-chan!
That's one of my students, idiot!
Eikichi-san?!
Hey! Fix that bike!
Ow...
I still can't believe a girl like you is into fat guys.
No, plump guys.
No, I'm definitely fat.
No, plump.
I'm fat.
Plump.
No, I'm fat.
You're plump. See?
Oh... Want to drink something?
No, I'm not thirsty.
No!
It's fine.
You're trying to back out now?
No!
Hey, she's not letting me do her!
That was close.
He's dead!
He's not dead!
Then what did you do?
He is dead!
I told you he's not dead!
Then what did you do?
Was it money?
No.
Then what?
Does it matter to you?
Sure it does. I'm your...
You're a stranger.

This was sent anonymously to us this morning.
Are you into that stuff, too?
"That stuff"?
I'm asking if you're just like Kihara!
You're got it all wrong.
Man, you guys are harsh.
Your excuses are disgraceful.
If her parents find out, how are you going to explain?
There's nothing to explain! I didn't do anything!
Stop saying that!
Who's going to believe that?
You're fired!
This is the order of your assistant principal!
I'll speak the director now.
Mornin'!
Morning.
Morning!
Move!
Sorry.
Morning.
Morning!
Good morning!
Serizawa, I bought those basketball Jordans you were talking about.
Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
Did you try them?
I did. They're awesome.
You should seriously get them.
Did you do it with Onizuka?
Do what?
There's only one or two things a man and a woman do together.
I'd want to know what the second thing is.
Morino.
What?
Where do you get off butting in?
What's your deal?
This...
was going around Ein yesterday.
Who did it?
You're terrible.
It's not like that!
Forget you, seriously.
I was planning on breaking up with you anyway.
Why?
You're so desperate, it's creepy.
All you do is look in the mirror.
People call you "Mirror Girl" behind your back.
The checker wants to see you.
They only wanted to see us.
Oh!
Oomae wants to see you.
Damn Onizuka.
I knew it. You can't trust teachers.
This is a new product we're testing.
It looks weird, but I guarantee the taste.
It's long.
We call it the long sausage bread.
It takes advantage of the length of the small intestine.
That's taking too much advantage of it.
Yeah. It looks kind of hard to eat like this,
so people just decide that it can't taste good,
and nobody buys it.
No, that wouldn't even fit in your hands.
Fitting in, not fitting in...
Yeah, that is important. To teenagers, in particular.
Huh?
Fitting in, as in popularity. Especially to the opposite sex.
That's what you meant?
I think humans and bread are the same.
You know how some people say what's inside is more important
than what you look like?
I don't think that's true.
What you look like
is the first thing people see that tells them who you are.
That's why people who are confident in themselves look so cool.
Director...
Here, I'm just the...
...school store lady.
I never went to a hotel.
What do you mean?
That's shopped.
This isn't you?
It's very common.
People fake scandals to ruin rival models.
I can believe you, right?
Yes.
Okay. Let's believe her.
You're awfully quick to believe her...
Let's write up a report.
That picture...
You suspect your friends?
A very kind someone...
...sent the information...
...to us.
Somebody really hates you.
I can understand why.
You don't just suspect your friends...
You betray them, too.
Mariko, you knew Kanako likes Yuzawa-kun...
...and you told him that I was prostituting myself.
You would sink that low...
...to make Yuzawa-kun, who everybody likes, all yours?
I'm never going to forgive you.
Oh, and by the way, this isn't the end.
We know a big secret about you.
Bam.
Look at that.
You've sent a message to 2A's Ein.
Look.
What is this?
Who's this ugly girl?
It's am-am-am-am-am-am-am-amazing what plastic surgery can do.
That amateur model event...
Good luck!
Of course, if you don't come, we'll tell everyone.
Well, if you do come, we'll still tell everybody there.
Let's go.
Mariko!
Class isn't over yet.
I'm quitting school.
Running won't solve anything.
Don't talk like you know anything.
You don't need to pretend you're my friend.
What's wrong?
What about school?
Mariko?
What happened?
Why didn't you let me be born cuter?
What are you saying?
You're very cute.
I told you to throw all these away.
But you just leave the frames up, as if to taunt me.
How is this cute?
Stop it, Mariko!
Stop it!
Stop it, please!
Stop it! Stop! No! No! No!
Stop it, Mariko! Please!
Mariko! Mariko!
Mariko!
I said stop...
These are my treasures!
Please, stop!
Stop it! Stop!
Don't destroy these!
Shut up!
Stop it, Mariko!
Treasures?
How am I supposed to take a lie like that?
It's not a lie.
But you've thought it, right?
Thought what?
That you'd be better off if I weren't around.
You've wished I'd never been born, haven't you?
That it's hard raising a child alone.
No, I haven't.
Never.
Just so you know,
I think I'd have been happier if I'd been born to another mom.
I'd never have to worry about my face.
Hello!
I'm Onizuka, the assistant teacher of Mariko's class.
Would that change anything?
Is it wrong to think that?
Is it okay to forget it?
It hurts more to remember it.
Ma'am...
Your hands are getting blisters.
This is a man's job.
Hot!
Of course it is!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Ow! Ow!
So, you can smile.
You look a lot prettier in this than you do now.
Don't kid around.
What kind of standard are you using?
I'm not kidding.
It's my fault.
I'm the one who took her smile away.
When she was in middle school, we got into a fight when she came home late.
Stop it.
Back then, I was exhausted all the time.
Stop it.
I got mad and pushed her without thinking...
I said stop!
Stop acting like a mother!
Why don't you act like a daughter?!
She got a burn on her forehead.
Then, people started to bully her.
So she wore her hair lower and stopped smiling.
So...
When she said she wanted plastic surgery, I couldn't say no.
It's my fault she lost her self-confidence.
Mariko...
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
You can't change the past.
Is that okay with you?
Your mom is saying she loves you!
Please stop bowing, ma'am.
It's her responsibility to find her own confidence.
If I could do that, I wouldn't have a problem!
You can't change the past.
But you can change the present.
That's why you got the surgery, right?
I'll give you credit for your courage.
But did it give you confidence?
Shut up.
Weren't you afraid people would find out someday?
Shut up.
It's okay if you embarrass yourself.
Show them who you are.
Try one more time... just one more time...
to change the present.
I can't!
Mariko!
I'll be waiting tomorrow!
I can't believe I have to go on patrol on my day off.
Want to go drinking when we're done?
Definitely!
Want to invite Uncle Barhopper?
No need. He'll be there anyway.
Did you see her, Taka?
I'm not Taka, but she's not here.
Maybe she didn't come?
Taka, let's look for her a little more.
I'm not Taka, I said.

You guys!
I don't remember your names yet...
Hey! What are you doing?!
Come with us!
I didn't do anything!
I didn't...
I didn't do anything!
Wait! I didn't do anything!
Mariko!
And go!
Great job!
It's okay.
How?
No matter how it goes,
it'll be over in 10 minutes.
That's me.
When I was in middle school, people bullied me for being ugly.
I always hated my face.
So... So the spring break before
I started high school,
I got plastic surgery.
They put a fold in my eyelids,
and injected hyaluronic acid to raise my nose.
When I looked prettier, I felt like I had changed, and I was happy.
I chose a school where I didn't know anyone, and made my high school debut.
And I got a really hot boyfriend.
I was even scouted on the street to be an amateur model.
It was so fun when people said they envied me.
But...
Though it was fun,
I wasn't happy.
My face looked the way I wanted it to,
but I still hated myself.
I was always so uneasy.
So I couldn't let go of my boyfriend,
or the model work that everyone envied me for.
They were the only things that made me feel like I was worth anything.
So I was willing to do anything to protect them.
I did cowardly things to ruin other people.
But every time I did that, I hated myself more and more.
And the next thing I knew,
I was as miserable as I used to be.
I was a terrible person.
I'm sorry.
Mariko!
Mom...
Mariko...
I'm sorry, Mom.
I wasn't bullied because of my burn.
But...
I blamed you for my lack of self-confidence.
I ran...
I said I wished I'd been born to another mom...
Even though I knew you were working so hard
to raise me...
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Please.
Will you smile for me one more time?
Hey, why are you crying?
I'm not crying.
Yes you are. Here.
That scared me.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
The student herself says that nothing inappropriate happened at the hotel.
I can't trust him.
If this happens again, the parents—
Weren't we supposed to believe the students?
What do you think, Assistant Principal Uchiyamada?
I've no issue with it.
I see.
We'll give a stern lecture to Hatano Mariko,
and Onizuka will be cleared of any involvement.
All right?
I'm going to quit being a model.
Seriously?
I'm going to find my own confidence.
Mariko!
Mariko! Mariko!
What's that?
From now on, we're friends.
That and the fist bump are both lame.
Isn't that great?
How?
Let's go.
Yeah.
It might sound cliché,
but I liked her more than I thought.
Who cares if it's cliché?
You're so nice.
Morning.
Good morning.
What's with you?
You're here early.
Well... yeah.
Right, right, right.
So that's it?
Good morning.
G-Good morning.
Good morning.
Just come out and say it.
Yeah.
Well, we're both...
...really sorry...
...for what we did.
You are?
We're sorry.
What are you going to treat me to?
5... 500? 1,000...
5,000?
10,000?
Anything under...
...500 yen!
Cheap.
Hey, where are you going?
To find myself?
