~drama special~
The drama special is like a continuation of the series. I really don’t know how long a typical drama special is in Japan but this is like a full length movie. The story begin after Onizuka stopped Azuza from working as a flight stewardess. And he finally used that condom he was saving for a very special girl on Azuza. He was asked by the school director to substitute in an all high school girls university and the director of that school happened to be the director’s twin sister.
His was tricked by 3 of his students and made him their “genie of the lamp”. Asking him to give them a ride everywhere and go shopping with them. One day when they were shopping they saw Azuza with an old man and followed them. It turns out to be his father and now Onizuka is on his bad side for punching him and being late for several occasions. Not only is that, one of the girls, Yamaguchi Riki, in a dilemma. He must help his students and at the same time make a good impression on Azuza’s father.
~ movie ~
The movie began when Kaoru (Nokira Fujiwara) a journalist for a local newspaper found a wallet that contains a condom that says “love for the second girl”. This happens to be Onizuka’s wallet. This actually made me sad knowing from that point that he and Azuza didn’t work out. Anyway, in Canada Land, Horobonai, Hokkaido he is asked to substitute for a local school. The town went bankrupt are the park closed and the whole village sad and depressing.
On the way to school, Onizuka saw a boy laying on the train tracks. The boy noticed this and got startled and stood up away from the tracks. But when the trains passed Onizuka left without talking to the boy. He continued to go to school but since he lost his wallet he couldn’t afford to buy gas for his motor bike. Again he met the boy on the tracks and he was being bullied. He “helped” and went to school but it seemed that he’s not the only student that is in trouble. There was a commotion at the school, a girl was walking at the edge of the school building. Upon seeing this, Onizuka dragged Raku (Hideyuki Kasahara) at the same spot and asked the girl to let him go first since he startled Raku earlier. Onizuka started to encourage him to jump and Ayano Katsuragi (Rena Tanaka)thought the situation ridiculous and just walked out. The girl seems to be hated by her whole class and turns suicidal. When Onizuka was offered by Raku’s parents to stay with them, he accidentally found out that Raku liked Ayano. Though Onizuka talked him out of this and his father somehow forbids it, Raku still continued to like her.
But the town soon will face a problem that again will involve Onizuka. A serial robber ends up in town. This is the criminal that the journalist is looking for and she thinks that this criminal is Onizuka when he confirms that the wallet she found was his. Not only that the police force thinks that the serial robber is posing as a substitute teacher.
This is actually the kind of the story that is kinda never ending and because the story is so care free and full action I wanted to see more.
