Gokusen (｢ごくせん｣)

Hello, everyone!

You're my first students, and I care about every one of you.

SHIRO HIGH

From the bottom of my heart, I'm happy about our precious encounters.

I am Kumiko Yamaguchi. It is nice to meet you all.

Starting today, I will be a teacher here in Shirokin Gakuen High School.

I…

I dreamed of becoming a teacher since I was a child.

The deep trust and tight bond between teachers and students

is just like that of parents and children,

and I believe that it's just as warm and beautiful.

SHIROKIN GAKUEN HIGH SCHOOL

You over there!

Enjoy a high school life full of hopes and dreams!

And you too!

Set alight completely the radiant days of youth!

Everybody!

Be moved to tears with me!

That's it.

Okay!

KUMIKO YAMAGUCHI

So Miss Fujiyama will be teaching English,

and she'll be Class 3C's class teacher.

-Hello, everybody. -A round of applause.

I look forward to working with you.

SHIZUKA FUJIYAMA

Miss Yamaguchi will be teaching mathematics,

and she'll be Class 3D's class teacher.

Hello, everybody!

-What? -Huh?

Class 3D? Are you serious?

Well, I thought it was a joke at first too,

JAPANESE TEACHER KANJI WASHIO

but it was our principal's decision.

I wonder what he was thinking.

He wasn't thinking about anything, maybe?

Yeah, I guess.

KOHEI IWAMOTO

HAJIME OYAMA

This is like putting a lamb into the lions' cage.

A lamb?

Well then,

is any other teacher here willing to be Class 3D's class teacher?

Okay, let's give it our best shot today as usual.

Let's give it our best shot…

Okay, get changed into your training suit and sneakers.

Training suit and sneakers?

If you're dressed like that,

then you can't run away when something happens.

Run away?

Why?

The 30th anniversary of our school's foundation is coming up.

We, Shirokin Gakuen High School, are proud of our tradition and history.

Since our foundation…

Why didn't you change your clothes?

How can I wear something that looks so stupid?

Okay, I'll now introduce the new teachers.

This is Miss Fujiyama.

I am Shizuka Fujiyama.

I'm 25 years old. Single, by the way.

-Shizuka! -Nice to meet you.

She's so cute!

SHIROKIN GAKUEN HIGH SCHOOL

I am pretty, but I am strict when I'm teaching.

-Brace yourselves for it. -Be strict!

This is going well.

And Miss Yamaguchi.

Okay.

Yes!

Hello, everybody!

You are my first students,

and I care about every one of you.

-Our precious encounters-- -Who the heck are you? Get lost!

-Get lost? -Whoa, she looks stupid.

Her chest is flat.

No, wait…

-Our precious encounters-- -Go home!

-Go home? -Go home…

Go home…

Go home…

Go home…

Why?

Go home…

-Hiya. -Good morning.

Who on earth is he?

I'm starving.

Let's do our best!

I'll introduce myself again.

Class, be quiet.

Come on, be quiet!

Be quiet!

You be quiet, idiot.

THIS MONTH'S GOAL

We're talking about something important.

Something important?

It's none of your business!

Keep complaining, and I'll beat you to death!

Kuma, do it! Do it!

Beat her…

Beat her…

Beat her…

Listen, don't you dare boss us around, you jerk!

Okay, I'll introduce myself again.

My name is…

Yamaguchi…

Kumiko Yamaguchi.

Twenty-three years old.

By the way…

Oh my! It's a baseball.

Who threw this? It's dangerous.

What? Did she catch it by chance?

So stupid!

Realize this sooner.

Kuma. You idiot.

CLASS 3D, SHIN SAWADA

Kumiko Yamaguchi, 23 years old, single.

Nice to meet you.

They're gone.

That woman… What's her name?

Our new class teacher.

You mean Kumiko Yamaguchi?

The girl with glasses.

She won't come to school tomorrow.

Yeah, you scared her out of her pants, Kuma.

I bet 100 yen she's not coming.

I'll bet 300 yen, then.

-Oh, yes! -Wow!

-Well done… -What do you think, Shin?

-Women have to have fine legs! -Amazing!

I'll pass.

Scared?

Me, scared?

Come on, don't make me laugh.

When I was seven years old, my parents died in a car accident.

I was adopted by my only relative, my maternal grandfather.

Welcome to the store!

-Welcome home, Missy! -I'm home.

Missy, I've got some good roe today.

Thank you, but it's okay.

Come on in!

-Welcome home, Missy! -Welcome home, Missy.

-Welcome home, Missy. -I'm home.

This is the place where I grew up.

And this is my home.

Missy.

KOZO WAKAMATSU

Missy.

TETSU ASAKURA

Missy.

MINORU TATSUKAWA

The man who lives in the world of the yakuza,

the third generation of the Oedo Family, Ryuichiro Kuroda,

is my grandfather.

Welcome home, Kumiko.

Welcome home…

I am home.

Of course, I'm not scared of some delinquent high school boys.

After all, I grew up surrounded by these men here.

So everyone came to celebrate your birthday, Grandpa?

Yeah.

Wow, the fish is served whole.

We prepared this for you, Missy.

It's not for Grandpa?

I had a drink with the brothers during the day.

This is to celebrate your first day of work, Missy.

Guys…

-Thank you! -You're welcome.

Okay, let's have dinner.

We give thanks to all the lives here.

Bon appetit.

Bon appetit…

Kumiko. Congratulations.

Thank you.

So, how was school?

Someone called me an idiot.

Idiot?

Who the heck dared do something as rude as that?

Tetsu!

-Don't. -Yes, Boss.

They said I looked stupid.

Stupid?

I'll go and scare them straight!

Minoru.

Boss said don't.

Yes, Young Boss.

And they said they'd beat me to death…

Guys, let's go!

Yes, Young Boss…

Guys!

Don't leave your seats when we're having dinner.

Yes, Missy…

Kumiko.

It's gift money.

-Thank you! -Hey.

Okay.

Actually, we've got something for you too.

Wow!

This is for you.

Thank you, guys.

Don't you dare look down on me!
