The sequel to the series "Great Teacher Onizuka" premiered on streaming platforms Netflix and Crunchyroll. Takashi Sorimachi, who played Eikichi Onizuka in the original 1998 adaptation, once again took on the lead role in the project.
The new show is a direct continuation of the series. This time, Onizuka faces the realities of a modern Japanese school: instead of ordinary conflicts with bullies, the hero encounters school tablets, closed internal chats, teacher ratings, and a bureaucratic system built around digital control.
Members of the original team returned to work on the sequel: screenwriter Kazuhiko Yukawa, director Satoru Nakajima, and producer Kazuhisa Ando.
The first episode is already available for viewing. New episodes will be released weekly.
