Gokusen (｢ごくせん｣)

What on earth happened?

The guys in Class 3D have wreaked havoc again.

Class 3D again?

Mr Machino, are you okay? Hang in there!

I can't possibly continue as Class 3D's class teacher.

Please let me resign.

Seriously?

Class 3D is just like a group of social dropouts.

(Chairman and Principal: Ginji Kurokawa)

If there isn't a class teacher to lead them,

they will be a headache. Do you agree, Mr Sawatari?

Yeah...

You had nowhere to go after Shirokin Gakuin was shut down,

and the person who chose you to be Kurogin Gakuin's vice principal...

...was me, you know?

Are you going to let me down?

Mr Kurokawa, please don't worry.

I have thought about what to do next.

I am surely going to meet your expectations.

How reliable!

Perhaps you will be the principal in April.

But if you fail,

there will not be a place here for you in April.

Hello, National Private School Temporary Teacher Association.

I am Kurogin Gakuin High School's vice principal, Sawatari.

We need a teacher urgently.

Yeah, do you have a very tough and evil-looking person?

We've got just the perfect teacher for you here.

He has a strong, tough body...

and has a lot of experience teaching violent students.

Judo 5th Dan...

Karate 6th Dan?

Calligraphy... It doesn't matter.

1st Kyu? This is wonderful!

He is the perfect teacher I've been looking for!

What's his name?

Tsuyoshi Onigawara? Is that his real name?

It is!

Even his name sounds reliable.

Please send Mr Onigawara here.

Thank you so much! You've been talking to Sawatari. Yes.

I feel relieved now.

Finally, in April, I will be...

...the principal!

Okay. See you.

Yamamoto, the teacher on the top of the pile...

is wanted by Kurogin Gakuin High School,

please make the arrangements.

Yes.

- I'm sorry. - Sorry.

Big Bro.

Is Missy really so deep in the mountains here?

Yes, she is.

Be it is the mountains or the sea,

she will go anywhere.

(Oedo Family's underling: Tetsu Asakura)

As long as there are students.

Minoru!

Sorry.

(Oedo Family's underling: Minoru Tatsukawa)

Everyone, feel the breeze blowing here!

Look at the trees!

The endless blue sky and the radiant sun!

And the sea too!

Isn't this wonderful?

In this natural environment here, I will cry and laugh with you.

Sometimes we'll talk passionately,

and sometimes we'll give each other support!

Every day we encourage each other,

I feel delighted from the bottom of my heart.

Let's continue to sweat together!

Yes!

And be moved to tears!

Miss Yamaguchi, Daisuke took my banana.

Hey, Daisuke, you should not take other people's things.

Don't kick people either.

Miss Yamaguchi, I have to pee!

What? You need to pee?

Missy...

Tetsu, Minoru!

They are your...

Your students?

Who the heck are you?

How dare you talk to us like that!

- Don't scare the children. - Sorry.

- Ultra kick! - Missy!

How dare you kick Missy!

I'm going to beat you up!

- Don't beat a child up! - Sorry.

Children, wait a moment.

Missy...

What are you doing here so suddenly?

Sorry, actually...

Since Shirokin Gakuin was shut down,

no school would employ me and I finally got this job!

What if they find out about my family and fire me?

You don't have to worry about that.

We wanted to tell you as soon as possible, so...

we brought it here.

(You are appointed to go work at Kurogin Gakuin High School)

That means I can work as a high school teacher?

Congratulations, Missy.

What's the matter, Missy?

It's a good opportunity,

but I cannot accept this offer.

Yes, in my heart, I have a strong passion to be a teacher,

but the lovely children of Little Goat Nursery School need me.

I cannot abandon my children now.

Missy...

Miss Yamaguchi.

I'm sorry, but you are fired.

Principal?

The parents called to complain.

You taught them how to play Hanafuda cards instead of playing cards?

It's not appropriate...

to teach three-year-olds to sing songs about the yakuza.

And the way you speak is problematic sometimes too.

Howdy!

Do you not know what duty and humanity is?

Kill them!

Trust comes first in our nursery school.

Okay, so goodbye.

Children, it's time for your nap.

Let's go back.

Okay...

Wait, Principal...

Bye...

Tetsu, Minoru...

It's God's will that I should go to Kurogin Gakuin, isn't it?

Yes, Missy...

Children of Little Goat Nursery School,

take care!

Missy...

I, Kumiko Yamaguchi,

will be moved to tears...

with the students of Kurogin Gakuin from now on!

Let's do it!

I am Kumiko Yamaguchi...

and I am a teacher.

I lost my parents when I was seven years old,

and my only relative, my maternal grandfather, raised me after that.

This is my grandfather,

Ryuichiro Kuroda, the 3rd generation boss of the Oedo Family.

He is a man who lives in the world of the yakuza.

I'm home, Grandpa.

Missy...

I'm home.

Welcome back...

Missy,

the six months you worked there must have been tough.

Wait. Somehow, what you said seems to have a different meaning.

What?

I had no idea so many people would come to welcome me,

and I was surprised.

When they knew that you would be coming home after six months,

the brothers insisted that they had to come and welcome you.

Our brothers have been looking forward to it.

You are the 4th generation boss of the Oedo Family, after all.

Yes...

No. I won't take over.

Yes, Missy...

Who made this?

It's embarrassing, but I did.

Tetsu! Your cooking skills have improved!

Missy...

Thank you!

Missy.

If you don't mind...

Please use this.

Minoru!

Your skills have improved too!

Thank you!

Actually, it's...

...one of two matching scarves.

Minoru!

Ouch!

What are you doing?

Well... But still, I'm glad that...

you found a teaching job that you want.

This Kurogin Gakuin...

is well-known for the excellent students studying there.

Is that so?

You are going to do your very best again starting tomorrow.

So that you won't have any regrets.

"Kurogin Gakuin High School"

There is a girls' high school opposite here?

Good morning...

- Good morning. - Good morning...

Good morning!

Good morning.

Good morning, everybody!

These boys seem so nice!

The new teacher is starting today.

The teacher this time...

...has a tough and strong body and mentality...

and has successfully brought bad students under control.

This is promising.

If we can get Class 3D to graduate without mishap,

Mr Sawatari, you will finally be the school's principal!

Well, there is no doubt!
