GTO in Taiwan (GTO TAIWAN)

I am Great Teacher Onizuka.

Nice to meet you all.

Friends for life!

Bonds!

Are you okay with ignoring somebody who's being bullied?

This school isn't like yours at all.

Are Japan and Taiwan that different?

Nothing's different at all.

You're the guy who came from Japan to try and teach my son about "bonds"?

Don't try to teach my son about useless things like bonds.

Understand?

What?

Mind your own business.

Right, Wang?

Yes.

Hey, what'd he say?

Don't teach about useless things like "bonds" and "caring."

I see.

So it's because of you that Wang's all screwed up.

Does having money make you that important?

What's he saying?

He asked if having money makes you important.

You think bonds are more important than money?

You think money can't buy a bond, or a person's heart?

Those are just excuses made by poor people!

I once had friends.

But as soon as I got rich,

some became my enemies, and some became my subordinates.

Every "bond" I thought I had

was only something tying me down.

The reason I'm successful is because I severed all those ties.

What's important

is money and power!

Anybody who doesn't have them isn't even worthy of living!

What's important is money and power.

If you don't have those, you aren't worthy of living.

You bastard...

Let me go.

These men risk their lives to protect me.

Is that because of "bonds"? Because they're my friends?

No.

It's the power of money!

There are things you can't do with money and power alone!

Zhou-kun,

I think you understand what I'm saying better than anyone.

You want to study hard at this school,

go to a good university,

get a good job,

and put your mom at ease after all her hard work raising you.

And to do that,

you know what you must do, right?

You have my support.

Keep it up.

Bo-san!

Have we offended you in any way?

I'm very sorry! Very sorry!

You're both fired!

How many times do I have to tell you this isn't your school?

Then where are we?

Where are you standing right now?

It doesn't matter whether we're in Taiwan or Japan!

There's no place in the world where it's okay to ignore a student

who's going down the wrong path!

Why did you become a teacher?

What choice do I have?

What am I supposed to do, then?

You said there are things you can't do with money and power alone,

but there are times when feelings aren't enough, either!

Pretty words like that

aren't enough to survive here!

Only worrying about yourself after all, huh?

Seeing that Japanese guy look so pissed off was awesome.

Was it?

I knew what was going to happen from the start. It was boring.

Wang.

Your father is trying to destroy my...

...our market.

The place where we grew up!

So what?

Ask your dad

not to destroy our special place.

It's got nothing to do with me.

How can you say that?

We were all poor back then,

but we had our smiles.

You were a lot happier then, too...

Smiling was all we could do!

We were too poor.

We had to smile and forget reality,

or we'd be miserable!

No!

We were happy, all of us!

Don't lie to me!

It's better to be poor?

There's no way that's true.

Of course it's better to have money.

You get better food, better clothes...

Of course that makes you happier.

Lay off the pretty words.

You've really changed, Wang.

You once promised me we'd run a stall together.

But that person is gone now, isn't he?

I don't feel any warmth

in you at all now, Wang.

You've forgotten what's important.

Wang!

Wang!

What's important is money and power!

Anybody who doesn't have them isn't even worthy of living!

Wang...

Are you really happy now?

Are you really happy now?

When we grow up, let's run a food stall together!

We'll have the best food of any stall in Taiwan!

Pinky swear!

It's a promise!

What do I do about this?

Help me.

Get me out of here. Please.

What?

Hey, what did you say?

Idiot!

You can't get away now!

What's going on?

Move!

What? What's happening?

Don't run away!

What the hell is going on?

If you'd never gotten involved with that Japanese guy,

you could've gone on living in peace.

Poor woman.

But now it's clear to me.

Pretty words really aren't enough to get by.

Wang-kun.

Are you okay with the way things are?

What are you talking about?

Are you really...

satisfied with this?

Of course I am!

Are you going to spout the same crap that Mei and the Japanese guy did?

"I was smiling back then"?

To hell with that!

I'm obviously happier than ever now.

I get everything I want,

and everything goes my way.

I can even fire you, if I want to.

Bonds? Caring?

Those things...

are never going to save you!

I don't need pretty words like that.

Wang-kun,

what is really important

to you?

Dad,

welcome home.

About Mei...

She's still running away with the deed to the market.

She couldn't be more foolish. Come here.

Look. I don't know if it's nostalgia or what, but what's so great about that dump?

I'm prepared to pay them enough money. They could use it
