Personally, shortly after I moved to Japan in the early 2000s, I went on a renting spree, watching all sorts of Jdramas, and GTO was one of them. More specifically, I really liked the actor Yosuke Kobuzuka, so I tried to watch as many things that he played in as possible, and I believe GTO was one of them.

GTO follows the story of Eikichi Onizuka, a high school teacher and former motorcycle gang member, as he tackles student and school-related issues with his unconventional methods. Motivated by sincerity rather than status or profit, Onizuka addresses societal issues by expressing his true emotions and risking his life to connect with his students.
In GTO Revival, Onizuka, known as the “Great Teacher,” is assigned to a troubled high school where he imparts his passionate lessons to the struggling Reiwa high school students.
This time, Onizuka finds himself teaching at the Sotoku Gakuin Private High School. The main conflict at this school revolves around “Sai no Kaho,” an online influencer with nearly 2 million followers. Sai no Kaho exposes any topic or person, causing turmoil whether their target may be a celebrity or an ordinary person. Numerous teachers and students at Soutoku Gakuin have already fallen victim Sai no Kaho’s meddling. Rumors run rampant, circulating throughout the school, leading to an atmosphere of suspicion and unease.
