GTO: The 90s Manga That Would Be BANNED Today

Описание: Is Eikichi Onizuka a genius or just a pervert with a sledgehammer? Today, we are revisiting one of the greatest manga series of the 90s: Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO).

In this deep-dive review, we explore how a former biker gang leader became the most effective teacher in Japan. We’re talking about the manga version specifically - which offers way more psychological depth, darker story arcs (including the Urumi Kanzaki origin), and a much more satisfying ending than the anime adaptation.

If you love mature manga with grit, violence, iconic facial expressions, and a surprising amount of heart, this video is for you.

🔥 WHY YOU SHOULD READ GTO Great Teacher Onizuka isn't just about comedy and ecchi moments. It is a profound critique of the Japanese education system. Onizuka teaches Class 3-4 not through textbooks, but through life lessons delivered with blunt force. Whether he is smashing a Vice Principal's Cresta or saving a student from jumping off a roof, Onizuka proves that sometimes you have to break the rules to save a kid.
