Great Teacher Onizuka Chapter 200 Discussion

Instead of adding new characters, mangaka should have focused on existing ones. For example that yakuza's autistic kid - what was the point of that character? I don't even remember seeing him after Onizuka returned him to school.



Nonetheless I highly enjoyed the last chapters. I just wish there was more character's development.

WOW these last chapters got my adenaline rushing. I wanted to beat the fuck outta that psycho that almost killed Onizuka! >:(



As far as closure goes, it was pretty good, i got broken in by Studio Ghibli's bittersweet endings in my early anime days so GTO was ended well in my opinion. Not EVERYTHING needs to be absolutely wrapped up.



LOL and the principal went through what.. 5 Crestas?

So gutted to see an amazing manga comes to an end, I will miss Onizuka and co alot. Ending was very solid, much better than the anime version imo.



8.5 - 9 for me. (Rounded off the score to 9/10.)

> start reading a seemingly comedic manga about a wacky high school teacher over a year after you graduate



> become enamored with the lovable cast of characters and deep psychological messages



> realize you wasted your whole four years of high school being the resident background "Quiet Kid™" when you could have had experienced high school like this had you just been more socially outgoing



> finish the manga and realize it's over, just like your chance to have a meaningful high school experience; gone forever



> cry

Just finished reading it and I fucking loved this manga.



The only complaint I have is that storytelling gets a lot weaker in the last arc, when the Angels and Daimon are introduced, and I didn't enjoy much the way Fujisawa handled Sho's and Daimon's motivations (Sakurai having a scar for saving Daimon felt ass-pulled to me). I also think Miyabi's last conflict could be handled a lot better, but I'm okay with the way it was done.



I also enjoyed the fact that the story isn't just about Onizuka being a teacher, but also about people learning how to live by their mistakes and children being children while growing up.



This could be an easy 10/10 if it wasn't for these last 5 volumes falling short for the incredibely marvelous rest of the series, but its greatest qualities (such as the character writing and development and the way Fujisawa used all of it to creat context to debate more serious themes and reinforcing the plot with this social commentary) remained there until the very end and I have to give the props to it.



Overall, despite my complaints, this is one hell of a fucking good ride that everyone should take. 9-9,5/10 for me

So its anime adaptation only represented less than half the manga with a completely different ending but I still love both of them.



BTW, can anyone explain to me what was Mayu Wakui trying to do in that press conference? I only understood it might damage his reputation but I didn't get what was he trying to accomplish with the help of Yoshito Kikuchi and others.

The first 3/4 of this manga is pure gold. The way that the mangaka brings the characters and plot line into a great pace is simply amazing. My favorite part of the whole manga are the Miyabi-Kanzaki conflict chapters. However, by the time he introduced Double D Daimon and the "Angels" his character management became a little shaky. There was hardly any need for introducing the autistic kid and I was disappointed that Kusano's only relevance in the manga was during the Tokiwa conflict (besides being that 3rd kid in Murai's group) especially since Kikuchi, whom, along with Onizuka, is pretty much the only character with consistent relevancy to the plot line, ends up the hero at the end of the day. Plus it irritated me that Kanzaki faded into obscurity during this whole Angel conflict.



In the end I felt that the mangaka spent too much damn time on that dumbshit Sho and Daimon instead of making the big secret of Miyabi more climatic and fully bringing her character to closure; and of course we could've had more romance between Onizuka and Fuyutsuki. Despite all my bitching about the ending (and there's a lot more) I don't think I'll be reading a more or equally enjoyable manga for quite a while. 10/10.

I watched the anime not so long ago but this manga still remains amazing even after all these years. 8/10 for sure. I wasn't a fan of that manga character (Makoto was her name I think) in chapter 147. Still, the solid story and premise of this series is well worth it the time.
