 [[#Onizuka Eikichi]], //ni-ju-ni-sai//, a bachelor, has recently become a teacher at a well-renowned private school in Tokyo. Prior to his teaching career, he worked odd jobs and before even then, he was the infamous leader of a bōsōzoku (Japanese biker gang). While the idea of a gang leader becoming a teacher may be scary, you'll find that once you get to know him, you'll wish he were your teacher; and real.\\
 Despite coming out in the 90s and early 2000s, the story of GTO is still just as Great today as it was then.\\
 Alongside this article, there's another dedicated to the [[lb:gto:adaptations]].

 ==== GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka - Manga ====

 The manga can be best described as a masterpiece. Of course, now that that's out of the way, let's get into specifics.\\
 [[#Onizuka Eikichi]], ni-ju-ni-sai, is the centre of the manga... which is obvious, seeing as it's named after him. Despite being the centre, he isn't always the protagonist... sometimes he isn't even at the centre of a particular story arc. However, his influence is felt... everywhere basically. His appearance in an area is enough to drive the plot and can even drive the decision-making of characters.\\

 Besides that, I have only one other issue that I care about:<wrap spoiler>  Mayu</wrap>. I never really... got... what<wrap spoiler> his </wrap>point was?<wrap spoiler> He </wrap>always felt like a <wrap spoiler>male version of [[#kanzaki_urumi|Kanzaki]], but not as smart.</wrap> I assume<wrap spoiler> he drops out of the story after his arc because Fujisawa-sensei didn't know what to do with him</wrap>.\\
 I also feared I'd be disappointed by the inciting incident of Class 3-4's terrorism; fearing it would either be too unrealistic, too contrived or too weak a reason. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find it was actually handled fairly well (something the adaptations seem to universally fail at). However, it took a bit of thinking before I concluded it //was// good.
+I remembered a very specific thing that I dislike about Onizuka in particular: when things that are immoral are portrayed as good or neutral. The one example I can think of is when Fuyutsuki <wrap spoiler>gives a few students some alcohol, which they then drink together with her. The surrounding context is that this is her attempt to get closer to the students in her own way, copying Onizuka in a way. I don't think I specifically need to explain why this is a morally bad thing, but the manga doesn't treat it as morally wrong</wrap>.
 ==== GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka - Anime ====
 The anime is a (mostly) faithful adaptation, I'd have to go through it again to see where it differed from the manga.\\

   * I noticed the translations seem inconsistent about the ages of the students, so I'll have to read the original to confirm.
     * I should also note that I can't speak Japanese, yet.
