GTO Revival (GTOリバイバル)

EIKICHI - AZUSA ONIZUKA

To my dearest wife.

It's been two weeks since you went back to your parents' home.

Has anything changed with you since then?

DIVORCE FORM

As for me,

one of my students tried to start a new team…

It was only a short time, but thank you for everything.

Don't try to reset the hard work you put in so far.

I barely managed to stop her from quitting school.

And as a result, I got one more good rating

in the feedback system.

-How about it? -Please!

We haven't gotten new members yet,

but I'll do my best not to lose to the two of them.

So can you come home soon, so we can do drills together?

Oh, right.

"What makes a Great Teacher?"

To answer the homework you gave me…

-It's fun! -It's very, very interesting!

-Why not join us? -How about it?

Our Drill Team is recruiting!

It must be a teacher who never gives up

until the very end, and who thinks about what is best for the students.

I think that is the answer.

I think this should work.

WHAT AN OBVIOUS ANSWER DON'T SAY IT SO PROUDLY

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hmm?

Wait a minute, just now,

you responded to Ms. Kashiwabara's "good morning,"

but ignored my "good morning," right?

That's not true.

Right?

You're just imagining it.

Well, if you say so. All 28 of you are here today,

so if you ever have any problems like Ken-Ken and Yuukichi did, tell me.

If there's anything I can do, I'll do whatever it takes.

Heck, you can even call me "Great Teacher" if you want.

Mr. Onizuka.

What is it?

Maybe Ms. Kashiwabara also has some passionate words to share?

No. I just thought I should hand these out.

Please go ahead.

My next class

will have you work in pairs, so please check them.

I'm with you, Yuukichi?

Hey! That's my line.

Ms. Ishibashi.

Nice to work with you.

Yeah. Likewise.

I took your wishes into consideration,

so it should be fine, but if there's any issue, do tell me.

Okay, thanks.

I'm kind of jealous.

When I was in high school, we didn't have classes

where students joined forces and gave it their all.

It's nothing so frivolous.

The purpose is to cultivate communication skills among students, right?

Ms. Kashiwabara.

That's right.

Pair-work also fosters cooperativeness

and encourages an independent learning attitude.

That's right.

You all haven't looked me in the eyes today,

and I get the sense I'm being ignored.

You're just imagining it.

We aren't doing that at all.

They were definitely ignoring me, those kids!

Onicchi, wait!

What? Huh?

Huh?

Thanks, the both of you.

For what?

You two were the only ones to look me in the eyes.

This is about that.

The other day, we got this post.

LET'S ACT LIKE ONIZUKA DOESN'T EXIST

Who would do such a thing?

Who knows.

Could it be…

It's like this class has a hidden mastermind, like on TV…

-No, that's a bit… -I don't think so.

There's no bullying or anything.

If anything, they all just don't want their own world to be disturbed.

Yeah, exactly.

Then, why does everyone act in perfect unison when they see this?

"Let's act like Onizuka doesn't exist."

Well, you see…

It's kind of persuasive.

Ever since our previous homeroom teacher, someone has been making these posts.

In this case, when we thought,

"Onicchi is barging in here, bossing us around, he's annoying,"

they made a perfectly timed comment.

Yeah, exactly.

It's like how, with social media, malicious posts can spread like wildfire.

Those who post things like this enjoy seeing people influenced by them.

Then, what do you think I should do?

Just do what you want, Mr. Onizuka.

There you go saying that again!

Miss, do you have a moment?

What's wrong? Kotone.

I need to talk to you, Ms. Kashiwabara.

Tell me instead. I'll listen to anything you have to say.

I'm sorry.

It's a delicate matter, I can't tell a tactless man like you.

Okay.

Ms. Koizumi.

What do you think this "delicate matter" is?

Who knows. It may be an issue that she can only tell a woman.

It's so troublesome, isn't it?

Male teachers can't say anything careless.

Lately, even when I talk to my wife and daughter, I worry about compliance.

No.

If you have something to say, just say it clearly.

Like, "Goodbye, compliance."

You can't do that!

Don't just pop up out of nowhere!

In this era, that sort of thing doesn't fly anymore.

Stop acting like the old days were so great

and update yourself to fit the times already.

If we have love and conviction on our side…

Those things are invisible

and can't be proven, so the students and parents won't understand.

Besides, when someone like you breaks the rules and causes problems,

it troubles the other teachers too.

Is that so?

My mission as the vice-principal

is to make sure all the teachers at our school

can do their jobs a little bit easier.

For that purpose,

I am prepared to become a shield to protect the children here,

and I'm sure all of you understand my efforts.

Is that the case?

What did Kotone say?

Seems she wants to change her partner.

What?

Oh…

Her partner is Ayumu Yoshida?

What exactly doesn't she like about him?

Apparently,

he's been glaring at her lately, and it's creeping her out.

Mr. Ayumu?

Do you have a moment?

What is it?

It's just…

Kotone said she feels like you're always glaring at her.

What? What's that about? I'm not doing that.

Maybe she's scared of that look.

Though I'm sure you're being serious.

Serious?

You like Kotone, don't you?

I don't want you to misunderstand, it's not like I care about her.

She just happens to be in my line of sight.

Okay! Then I'll go tell her that.

"He doesn't have feelings for you. Don't be stupid and misunderstand…"

Hey!

"Hey"?

What is it?

No, but…

You do like her, right?

Then, why don't you just tell her?

There's no way it'll go smoothly.

Why?

Because I have nothing going for me.

I'm not cool like Soma.

I'm not smart like Itsuki.

I'm bad at sports too, so I'm envious of Hiroto.

What are you saying? I'm sure you have plenty of good qualities.

For example?

Well…

That would be…

You eat your food without leaving leftovers,

and you do the cleaning properly.

You're never late, either.

Anyone can do that.

No, don't give up, keep trying. I'll help you with anything.

Then, can you make Kotone like me?

Hang on, how would I do that?

Think about that yourself. There must be plenty of ways.

Like subtly making her think, "Good things will happen if I go out with him."

But don't tell her I like her. I don't want to be hated.

What a difficult request…

There she is.

This book, please.

9 - LITERATURE

Ms. Kotone Wakatsuki.

Please return the book by this date.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Ms. Kotone, do you have a moment?

It's about Ayumu.

What about him?

He isn't glaring at you.

It's just that when he gets serious, his face looks like that.

Serious?

No, it's… Well, you know…

I think he might like you.
