When they aren't riding their motorcycles, they spend their school days trying to catch the attention of young women.

In this installment

Former Shonan biker gang leader Eikichi Onizuka, a twenty-two-year-old virgin, aims to become the greatest high school teacher in Japan. His motivation is far from noble; he secretly hopes to eventually find a young wife. Despite being a lecherous, lazy, and unscrupulous delinquent, Onizuka possesses a complex personality. After suplexing the Vice Principal, he secures a teaching position at Holy Forest Academy, taking on the notoriously difficult Class 3-4. These students despise authority and use psychological manipulation to drive their teachers away. Onizuka, however, is no ordinary educator and is ready to confront these challenges directly. He addresses serious issues like bullying, suicide, and harassment by tackling their underlying causes through his unconventional and often extreme methods, including dramatic acts such as leaping from buildings to save lives. Gradually, the students come to recognize the value of learning under the unique guidance of Great Teacher Onizuka.
