GoodBye 3-D

Yankumi's Graduation Tears

Graduation Ceremony Heisei 14 (2002) Shirokin High School

Congratulations on your Graduation!

It's time to say "Goodbye"

You should stop it.

The room will be gloomy.

A time to smile!

Now that all of us are graduating together...

You are right!

We owe you everything, Yankumi!

You can say that again.

eh?

During this year, since we met,

There are many things we had done together,

Everything...

all wonderful memories

There is nothing more

I can teach.

Be sure to act in a dignified and mature manner.

Yankumi!

Where are you going?!

I'm so sorry!

There is a place I must go by all means.

All of you !

I'll never forget...

Yankumi!

Kumiko-san!

Shinohara-san!

Are you really sure?

Yes.

My life from now on,

not as a teacher,

but as a woman,

together with Shinohara-sama,

I want to spend.

Kumiko-san!

Shinohara-san!

Ojyo=short form of Ojyo-sama or Ojyosan, which means "daughter." In this case, a lady boss.

Ojyo! Stop it! Ojyo! Ojyo!

Ojyo!

Minoru!

You bastard!

I'm innocent!

Ojyo!

What what... What's happening?

What's this commotion?

Minoru, you coward.

Unfair to attack me while I'm sleeping.

Minoru, what have you done to Ojyo?

You bastard!

Just a blanket... she might catch a cold

What ? A blanket?

She must've been daydreaming.

So cute, isn't she?

Ojyo! Drooling...there...

Dreaming about me?

Shinohara-san was so cool...

Kumiko-san!

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yamaguchi Sensei!

Yamaguchi Sensei, too formal...

Call me K U M I K O.

Kumiko? Kumiko.

Yes!

Oh!

To Australia?

Yes.

You mean a prize trip to overseas?

Though it's an unknown 4th-grade university

Mom and Dad,

got so excited and happy.

Great!

Food is delicious.

When do you go?

10 day trip from today.

From today?

Why are you here?

From today?

You are not coming to school?

Due to Dad's business, (Oyaji=Dad, Father)

We can only fly today.

No problem, isn't it?

No more classes for seniors.

What do you do with our plan?

Sorry,

As parents are so happy,

I could not refuse...

What's your secret talk?

None of your business.

As such, see to it,

Yankumi.

OK?

Rats! Don't forget my souvenirs!

I'll be happy with anything I can eat.

I wonder why he came here today.

See you at the Graduation Ceremony, Minami!

See you, all!

Today is the last day for the Senior Classes,

We only have Graduation Ceremony and several attendance days.

Many thanks should go to your efforts,

We have great results on student's accomplishments.

Look at the board, please.

My 3-A class has filled in all University spots.

Great work!

Ronin=a student who failed in entrance exams.

My Class, though I have 3 Ronin students.

Only 3 Ronins. It's a marvelous work.

I had some scared moments.

But we filled in every spot last week.

Vice Principal (Kyoto), we can have a peaceful Graduation Ceremony.

You are correct.

Except One Class...

Yamaguchi Sensei,

5 students haven't decided.

What's the meaning of this?

These 5's exam results will be announced next week.

Probably they all passed the exams.

"Probably" cannot cut it here.

But 3-D has a dazzling victory winner.

Sawada Shin Passed Waseda University (Political Science & Economics Dept) Keio University (Economics Dept)

Yes, yes, yes. Sawada passed Waseda and Keio University.

On top of it, he is a Valedictorian!

Isn't he something?

He's a proud student of 3-D... No,

Shirokin Gakuin High School's honor,

His achievement shall become a legend here.

Agree?

Then, everyone tries hard until the Graduation Ceremony.

Yes

At one time, we worried a lot about them.

But everyone can graduate from 3-D.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

You are too naive.

During this period, students go so easy.

So it's the most dangerous time.

Japanese proverb. Yudan Taiteki Issun Saki wa Yami.

Unpreparedness is one's greatest enemy. A black hole might be an inch ahead.

They grew up a lot.

There is no worry, I'm sure.

You, stupid!

Very bad...

Idiot!

Playing catch in the hallway.

Is this a proof of "They grew up a lot?"

Yamaguchi Sensei?

I'm sorry.

Listen good.

There is always a possibility that you shall be expelled

Even on the very day of Graduation.

Expelled?

Of course, Yamaguchi Sensei.

You must take a responsibility if such a thing should occur.

What's that?

Yankumi must be fired, as well?

Of course.

A home room teacher must take a rap.

Vice Principal, as you can see, they learned ...

They are still staring at me.

Hey!

I'll overlook this time.

I appreciate your noble act.

Go back to the class room.

Hurry. Go back.

Go, hurry. Go back to the class room.

You have a broad mind.

A perfect deed as a Principal-to-be. Kouchou=Principal

What did you say?

A Princial-to-be?

Don't be so hasty, Washio, the Vice Principal-To-Be. Kyoto=Vice Principal

Vice Principal?

What is this?

You didn't know?

Principal Shirakawa has been promoted to be

an Education Comittee Council from this April.

Education Committee?

Very sad to part from Shirokin Gakuin School.

Since when were you there?

Just right now.

As such, Vice Principal will assume a Principal position from this April.

Sawatari, the Principal-to-be...

So I say, it's too early, Washio, Vice Principal-to-be.

You are right.

One woman scandal can wipe off your promotion.

Unpreparedness is one's greatest enemy. A black hole might be an inch ahead.

Was that Satsuki-chan of the Cabaret Paradise?

Anyhow, Yamaguchi Sensei, up until the very moment of graduation,

You take full control of all students of 3-D.

Leave it to me.

I'll make sure that everyone will get a diploma.

3-D's Graduation Trip To IZU Shuzenji "Gold Dragon Inn"

Don't forget to come at 8:00 A.M.

Don't be late!

Amazing, you printed this, too?

Why not?

This is our Graduation Trip.

But I envy Minami!

Koala? Onsen is much better than that.

Kouhei-kun, you are jealous. It's so obvious.

Hey,

Is it really OK not to invite Yankumi?

She might be very mad if she found out.

You are right.

I think it's OK.

She is a teacher, after all.

We cannot fully enjoy ourselves with a chaperon.

What a rare statement from Shin-chan. "Fully Enjoy Ourselves",etc.

Is that right?

So we must make sure.

Yankumi never knows about it.

Sure!

Damn!

I hate Vice Principal.

What's the matter?

He declared that he would expel anyone if we caused any troubles.

What?

And Yankumi must be fired, too.

Fired?

Our trip might be dangerous?

A School Rule Book does not regulate a trip.

If it is only a trip.

How about alcohol?

How about cigarettes and girls?

No girls involved this time.

I can't think of a trip without alcohol and cigarettes

No way! No way!

It's Ok as long as they don't find out.

You are right.

Sure right!

Yankumi won't lose her job, as long as school doesn't know.

Yes! Yes!

This'll be the last time we can do silly things together.

Let's enjoy our Graduation Trip!

Yay!

Oh, great!

You finally understood the rule. "When a teacher came, you keep quiet."

It's a reward that I had tried a lot for all this time.

Yes! Yes!

We all owe to Yankumi.

We appreciate Yankumi from the bottom of our hearts.

You...

You grew up to be responsible adults.

Why being tricked so easily?

Today is the last day of the 3rd semester.

But you haven't graduated yet.

There are several more days you must come to school

Anyhow, don't do silly things,

Especially no fighting.

If you got hospitalized, you can't attend graduation

You understood?

Yes!

Noda, Oishi, Shimazu, Maeda and Fujiwara!

Next Monday is your verdict day.

You must all come to report the results without fail.

Yes.

I don't think I passed.

Me, neither.

Stop being a wimp.

I have confidence in you.

Got it?

OK.

3-D.

All of us are going to graduate together!

Oh!

I can't feel secured until I hear results from these 5.

Hey, hey, hey!

Don't you want to go to a one-day trip to Onsen tomorrow?

Onsen?

I had a plan with my friends. But they canceled...

You want to go? I have coupons for 3.

Gladly.

I'm not in the mood for Onsen.

I know how you feel.

But what you can do is just to wait for the results.

You are right.

A wary look of a Home-Room Teacher is a bad omen.

A bad omen? (Engi=omen)

For your hard-working students,

You must become a Goddess of Victory.

A Goddess? (Megami=Goddess)

A Goddess must be clean in mind and body.

That's where Onsen comes in!

Yes, I'm going, too.

Onsen?

With Fujiyama Sensei and Kawashima Sensei.

3 of us together.

Can we tag along, too?

No. There's no need to come.

I see.

For Onsen, why do you need these weird things?

Graduation is so close...

I'm busy for preparation...

so I debated myself a little...

That's where relaxaton comes in.

Yes, I think so, too.

Yes.

Students are graduating...

Joyous occasion, isn't it?

Yep.

Ojyo, will you take a look at this?

When it comes to Graduation Ceremony,

It is a Gala Occasion for Ojyo.

And your first students' graduation.

For that precious moment of the day,

Please accept our gifts.

May I?

Please!

What is it?

Prepare Yourself To Die.

Where on earth can you find these?

You did not...like it.

You know... I appreciate it.

I'll put it in a candidate list of what to wear.

Thank you!

Do you think that they can really graduate?

I'm not so sure...

Don't jinx it.

I'm sorry.

Meshi=Meals, food,etc. Asa-meshi=breakfast Hiru-meshi=lunch Ban-meshi=dinner

Let's eat dinner.

Yes!

Only myself going to Onsen,...

My hard working students, I'm sorry.

We go on a Graduation Trip tomorrow!

Yay!!

Nice bath... I want to use it.

Let's bathe together, shall we?

Noooo!

What do you do after graduation?

I want to enroll in the Art College.

My future dream is to establish my own Designer Brand.

Cool!

But I failed 2 already,

The result from Mikado Art College next week...

is my last hope.

I, too must face the result next week.

Shin Nippon Hei Sei University!

Where is it ?

Never heard of such a university.

Me, neither!

You are better than us.

We all failed in every test.

We are Ronins now.

How about you, Kumai-kun?

I'll go to Chef Academy.

I'll inherit my Dad's Ramen store,

And I want to turn it into a

Real Authentic Chinese Restaurant.

Kuma, you are great!

Your late Dad is happy in Heaven.

How about you, Uchiyama-kun?

I start working for Ishiyama General Contractors.

You'll be a carpenter?

Yes.

In future, I'll get an Architect License.

I'll build your houses.

That'll be great.

Maybe I was too cool, wasn't I?

How about you, Sawada-kun?

eh?

Shin passed Waseda and Keio University.

Isn't that something?

Superb!

So which do you pick?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

You are too great. You have a choice.

I envy you, Shin.

I envy you...

Sing Ayaya, Ayaya...

Ayaya, Ow...Ouch!

I'll sing for you!

Shuzenji Hondo 50 Meters

Pickled Wasabi Onsen Manjyu

Shuzenji Temple

KinRyu (Gold Dragon) Inn

What a great view!

Didn't I tell you so?!

Onsen, Onsen!

Welcome!

Thank you. We came finally.

You are Kawashima Group, we presume.

We've been expecting you.

Yes!

Please come right in.

Let me carry your baggages.

Come follow me, please.

Wow, Great! I feel I'm an adult.

Welcome.

Welcome.

We've been expecting you.

This way, please.

Thank you for coming all the way.

You must've been tired, I'm sure.

This way, please.

You must've been tired.

Not really.

We are young.

Thank you.

Rather noisy here...

A company trip or something?

Onsen Lover Circle of some university, I heard.

University students...

Rather tired of high school students,

Maybe University guys are OK occasionally

OK???

Casual flirtations with the opposite sex, an activity known as nanpa. From Female to Male is called, Gyaku Nanpa.

Let's attack them.

Me, too.

To Onsen?

This is the room.

Good. Great!

Nice Japanese Gardens!

There are carps there.

Uchii, you fell in love with her at first sight?

No way. stop it.

What's your name?

My name is WAKABA.

Wakaba.

Wakaba-chan, what do you think of him? I highly recommend.

Stop kidding. I'm not on sale...

Don't by shy!

Hurry up. We will be leaving you, if you cannot keep up with.

Girl's voice!

Let's do Nanpa!

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

My ball... wait.

Wait, please.

I thought I heard a familiar voice...

Should you need anything, feel free to call me.

Yes, we'll call you definitely.

Then, I shall be excused.

Uchii, you must have fallen in love with her.

No, I don't think so. No.

You are in love. You can't hide it.

No way! No way!

Not that, I say.

So easy to tell.

He is my type.

I take the Right One.

So what shall we do?

I want to go to a Rainbow Country.

Rainbow Country... Hold on.

I saw it in the pamphlet.

But we have no cars.

What shall we do?

Fom here, we can take a bus...

We go there, too.

Do you want to tag along?

May we?

Sure thing!

We have a car.

Then, we'll take your invitation.

Let's go.

Wait. Wait.

A pair. 2 v.s 2

2 v.s 2?

Are you office ladies?

We are College students!!

No way! Age shows!

College Girls? A pair ?

Should've been 3 vs 2.

How can you forget about me?

You dropped this.

Thank you very much.

Don't mention it.

Ahhhhhhh!

Why are you here?

What are you holding?

At the bath tub,... Ahh...

No. No...

You're hiding something from me.

Onsen Entry For Men

What the hell are you doing here?

You took a secret Graduation Trip...

What a nerve to go wild away from my reach!

We are not going wild yet.

You were under arrest on the spot, Kuma.

Hand over all of your alcohol and cigarettes.

ehhhhh?

ehh? so you have them.

ah...

Sawada, why are you giggling?

Of course, I'm having fun.

Fun?

Having a good time with us, having been scolded by Yankumi

Stop talking nonsense.

Ok. Let's surrender everything.

Rats! We can't help it.

Hand over. Here.

You brought this much?

What a bad luck!

Yankumi busted us again.

Disaster if it happens to be a Vice Principal.

That's right.

You could've been expelled.

But you know

We wanted to have a good memory

After graduation,

We'll be separated, you know.

You are right.

Well. As long as you are here,

Enjoy yourselves... but as high school students.

OK. 3-D Graduation Trip Plan.

Fight ! Oh!

Shuzenji means a Rainbow Country.

English Village and Canadian Village,and many more.

What fun!

Let's go over there.

Yes. Let's.

Cute!

This is bad.

With such nice bodies...

Very harmful to my students.

Well...

A Rainbow Country is gone, just varnished.

What?

Turn Right.

1 2, 1 2, 1 2.

1 2, 1 2, 1 2,

At Onsen, you can't beat ping pong games.

Let's go! 1 2

I'm the best player here.

This is bad, too.

Just one eye contact, there'll be a gong for a fist fight.

Everyone, bad news.

Ping Pong tables are gone, too.

What? What are you saying?

What is what ? I don't know.

Let's go back to the room and discuss.

Go back to the room.

What a...

As such I want them to have fun,

but if I'm not careful, I never know where they go.

You are right.

If something happened,

and vice president came to know it, they are in trouble.

All you need is to let them have fun and you make sure nothing happens.

I'll give you a hand. 3-D guys are too dangerous.

Thank you very much.

3-D Quick Impersonation Contest

Top Batter,

Yamaguchi Kumiko.

Here I go.

Be Prepared To Die.

That's it.

Iwashita Shima=Veteran Actress. Famous role as a Yakuza Oyabun's wife in Gokudo no Onna Series

What was that?

What?

It's Iwashita Shima-san.

Haven't you ever watched her "Gokutsuma" movie series?

Let me try next.

I'll do it, too.

How come they show enthusiasm suddenly?

You are already dead.

What are you saying? Pppppppp...

You should die first.

Get off the stage!!

They seem to be having fun.

Thank you. I owe you a lot.

You can say that again.

Yes, of course!

They seem to enjoy themselves...

but they have something deep in heart.

Even they had decided what to do after graduation

It might not be the same as they wanted

or some problems of their home,

What's the matter?

Actually,

With that waitress, I'm going out. (Nakai= attendant at the Japanese Inn)

With Wakaba-chan?

Then, hurry and go.

But kind of difficult to sneak out...

I have noticed all of you.

If you want to leave this room, you must get approval from me.

One minute for toilet.

You understood?

Be ready to leave at the cue.

You are stupid, aren't you?

Is it true?

Yes.

Sawada,

I'll leave everything to you.

Shin, you are great.

What did you say to Yankumi?

Iwashita Shima is in the Women's Bath House.

Did you really?

She is a big fan of Gokutsuma.

Hurry up. She is waiting for you.

Thank you.

You, Gigolo!

Do a smart move, bastard!

Shoot!

Sawada...you tricked me.

Oshiruko is basically sweet and soupy beans (as in AN) and mochi in a bowl.

Would you like to go to Oshiruko store?

Hey, Kuma. We must go.

You ate enough already.

Wait for me.

You didn't like Oshiruko, did you?

I love it.

Ow...

Are you OK?

No problem.

Got it!

I hit it!

Say Cheese!

Very often magazine features around this place.

Is that so?

Even bamboos look great.

Look! It's great.

Does it run?

I want to ride it.

Cool!

I think we should go back...

I think so.

Shall we go?

Can I send an Email to you?

Sure, thanks.

Hey, you are from the inn.

What are you doing here?

Can I be of any help?

We don't need you.

She must play with us.

Get your dirty hands off of her.

Who do you think you are?

Hey, this is getting very interesting.

I wonder if Uchii is having fun with Wakaba-chan.

I bet he is.

Maybe they might be kissing right now.

Shall we go back?

Sure. I can't eat any more.

Help!

Uchiyama-kun is in trouble.

Only 3000 yen inside. Cheap.

Student ID # 9226 Uchiyama Haruhiko Shirokin High School

He's just a high school kid.

Just a kid...

Uchii...

You bastard!

What did you do to him?

Uchii, are you OK?

You are from the same high.

If it were so, what happens next?

I wonder if it is OK

to fool around at this time of the night.

We should report this to school.

And the teacher should be called.

Get out of here.

Stop it.

Wanna fight?

That'll be great.

Stop it.

We can't just let it go.

Hands off.

Or you'll be expelled, if they reported it.

None of your business.

It's our business.

Yankumi might lose her job.

We all must graduate...

together...

That's Yankumi's dream, isn't it?

We can't break her dreams.

Stop mumbling.

They are late, aren't they?

What should we do?

You guys...

You want to die now?

I'm scared.

Where did they go?

They might be doing some stupid things.

It's freezing cold out here.

Help!

Uchiyama-san and others are in trouble.

Uchiyama and others...

Stop.

Listen you guys ...

You must not butt in at any cost.

What a wimp!

They are nothing.

We can stop beating now.

Stop right there!

Yankumi...

Who the hell are you?

Hang in there.

Are you OK?

I'm sorry.

You...

Why beaten like this?

We can't break our promise.

We must graduate all together.

You...

How could you beat up people with no resistance.

What low life human beings!

Hey you!

Don't you know who we are?

Hey!

Hands off. Didn't I tell you?

Don't be so stylish?

You bitch!

Who the hell are you?

Me?

Tan-nin=in charge of. in this case, a home room teacher.

You want to know who I am? I'm their Home-Room Teacher.

Teacher=Sensei Senko-is like cop in case of police officer

Teacher?

Teacher can do violence?

Violence?

What a laugh!!

Violence means...

Something like you had done. Just beating people to hurt.

Shut the fuck up!

Ow...Ow...Ouch...

Now hand over the money you stole from them.

Take it, Take it.

I'm returning it.

You...

I'm sorry.

My fault.

Now they know Yankumi is a teacher.

I'm afraid you might lose the job.

I can't be a teacher with a fear of "losing a job"

You've saved an injured buddy.

On top of it,

You didn't fight back only for me.

What's wrong with me protecting you?

If that is not acceptable,

I'll be willing to quit teacher.

Yankumi...

You endured well!

You did well!

I'm proud of you!

You, guys!

We're gonna graduate all together.

Oh!

Onsen...

I haven't been there for long time.

Why didn't you tag us along?

Onsen is really great.

Flesh is so soft and smooth.

I've never soaked in the bathtub.

Maybe I should take a day off and go there.

Then, how about going together?

How about during a spring break?

Spring break?

After graduation,

I am totally free.

How about with me? One to one...

I can go any time.

I see, graduation is coming closer.

Yes!

A time to part from my students is

just around the corner.

It is kind of sad,

kind of happy...

Shinohara-san, I need your advice.

What should I wear? A Formal suit?

Or maybe...

Hakama? More like costume play ?

I have not decided what to wear, either.

Jersey is good for you.

Jersey?

There is no one like Yamaguchi Sensei

who looks so great in Jersey.

I love it.

You just said you love?

You love...

Let's go.

How about a Woman Police Uniform?

eh?

Seibu Police...

Costume Play!

How about a play with me?

No....

Only 5 days to graduation...

Long time to wait... or short time...

I'm afraid I might cry

in the Ceremony.

Me, too.

It's the time to say goodbye to students.

3 years after their enrollment,

Every single day...

Like a revolving lantern, I can remember...

You might remember every one's face...

Aogeba Totoshi (Song of Gratitude) -In Tampopo,homeless sings this song to a former doctor.

A climax is a song "Aogeba Toutoshi" by all students.

It's sad, isn't it? It's great, isn't it?

Isn't it sad?

It'll be a joyous day.

On the contrary, I am happy. Thinking that I don't have to deal with 3-D.

huh?

I understand. I understand you very well.

3-D was...really...

a nightmare.

Is this really what he was thinking?

Sawada, what's up?

I summoned him.

Sawada, have you decided? Waseda or Keio?

Not yet.

Not yet? Decide ASAP.

Hey, Sawada!

If you cannot decide, you talk to me anytime.

Yes...

You know, I ...

What is it? Sawada.

I...

Yes?

What is it?

Never mind.

No reservations.

I'm alright.

Anytime, you hear?

Oishi-kun's result should be in already.

Shin Nippon Hei Sei University

and Noda's Mikado Art Collegeshould have announced

names of successful candidates at 10.a.m.

It's high time the phone rang if they had passed.

Probably they want to come directly to a teacher's room.

I see. Maybe so.

How was your result?

Can't you tell?

Then, you , too?

That's right.

I did it.

I passed the exam.

I passed!!

Me, too. Shin Nippon Hei Sei University.

Congratulations!

How about Oishi and Shimazu?

They took the same university exam, didn't they?

They were not admitted.

That's bad.

How about Noda?

Noda failed, too.

I can't believe it.

It's tough.

You...

Noda

Oishi

Shimazu

Good morning.

Ahhh...

Noda Takeshi failed in Mikado Art College.

Well...

I flunked, too. Shin Nippon Heisei University.

Me, too.

I became a Ronin.

Cheer up somehow.

Cheer up.

Kuma, you brought that, didn't you?

eh?

Don't eh me!

Pictures from our Graduation Trip.

Yeah, yeah...

Let me see, let me see...

You are always eating something.

Japanese delicacy-Some are baked, some put on sticks, some are made with sweet rice (mochi) and some made with rice powder. They are often filled with a sweet bean paste called "An".

This manju was tasty.

I want to go again.

With everyone.

Why not?

As a class reunion trip.

I second that.

How about a Golden Week in May?

I'm coming!

Sure.

Look!

Hey, pictures turned out to be great.

I don't wanna.

I ain't have time for this.

I'm sorry.

Hey!

You didn't have to be so nasty.

Kuma just wanted...

to cheer up this situation.

Isn't that what we call, "Mind your own business?"

What?

What did you say?

Chill.

I pass.

eh?

I can't join class reunion trip.

I also start getting a job.

No more easy going student.

I am a Ronin...

So I must study harder.

I wish I were a Ronin, too.

Sarcasm?

No, that's not it.

Our household cannot afford to have a Ronin student.

I only have to go to a university that I really did not want to go.

You are better... you can go to university, any way.

There are some who cannot go to universities due to their household problems.

If you really want to go, why not work and go to Night School?

Stop talking like a king.

You passed the 3rd class university.

Why you get excited ?

Don't be so happy, will you ?

3rd class university?

Stop it!

Everyone has his own problems...

There are some who could not advance to the track they wanted to take.

You just show some considerations to those people.

Consideration?

Apparently, you have no problems.

What?!

Sympathy?

No, that's not it.

Then, what?

Uchii just worries about you.

You understand?

No I won't.

Unlike Shin, I am not clever.

Why do you have to say such a thing?

You guys, stop this already.

What do you want from quarreling?

It's bad to quarrel, isn't it?

Yankumi might lose the job.

A honor student is different from us.

He thinks highly of teachers.

Hey, Noda.

Yankumi has nothing to do with us once we graduated.

Nothing to do...

Once graduated, we take our own courses.

That's not tue.

That is true.

You are an elite and we are drop-outs.

What's it got to do with this?

We are buddies, aren't we?

Buddies?

You are laughing at us, anyway.

You think we are lower than you are.

You've been thinking that way.

Yeah.

That's right.

What are you doing?

Stop it! Break, Break up!

What are you doing? Break up, I say.

Break up!

Hey! Noda!

Sawada! Stop it.

What are you doing?

Noda!

What happened here?

Nothing.

Sawada!

Shin!

What had happened to them?

Yamaguchi Sensei, a call for you.

Thank you.

Yes?

Minami?

Hey, Shin!

What's the matter?

You are acting funny.

I'm sorry.

Do you think they can understand how we feel?

Buddies? What a lie!

Damn!

Ouch!

Rent/Sales/Reform Inquite within.

What are you doing?!

Go to hell!

What's your problem?!

You are students of Shirokin High.

So what?

Help! Call police.

I need the police.

Hey. we got to run.

Quickly!

Why on earth, at this time?

Police got involved.

I'm very sorry.

They were a bit too hyperactive.

They don't make it a big issue

as long as students show regrets.

I'll leave the rest to school.

You need not come to school any more.

Expelled?

No, I won't expel them.

I want them to be confined

at home until they graduated.

House arrest?

If they can do so,

I promise that they can graduate.

Of course,

They cannot attend the ceremony.

Vice Principal!

We can't afford to have them go bad on that day.

Wait a moment.

As they can receive their diplomas.

They must be thankful.

I understand.

I won't be coming.

Hey, Noda.

You...

Let's ask again to Vice Principal.

I don't want to attend a ceremony

If I have to beg the Vice Principal.

You must attend the ceremony.

Why the hell?

What do I care?

You're right.

We can graduate anyway.

That's not right.

That's not correct and you know it.

You understand how much

Yamaguchi Sensei worries about you.

Your friends worried, too.

Friends? What the hell is that?

Minami gave up university.

Why?

He studied so hard to pass the exam.

There was a phone call from him.

His father's company went bankrupt.

I can feel how much shock he got from it.

But his voice did not show it. Exactly the same as before.

He is forward looking.

I understand your feeling...

You feel irritated...

You have complaints, too.

But there is no one in life

who has no complaints.

Everyone is equal.

You are just 18.

Exams or hunting jobs,

which forces you to decide your future.

But it isn't so easy like that.

You shall go off track, struggle

and then you stop,

and go somewhere else,

and come back again

Isn't that how we live our lives?

Isn't that how we find our own ideal lives?

Please don't give up so easily.

Don't run away from the hardships.

Please don't answer the

most difficult question in life.

Let's go.

Noda!

Oishi!

Shimazu!

You shall go off track, struggle

and then you stop,

and go somewhere else,

and come back again

Isn't that how we live our lives?

Ojyo's students are lucky.

What are you saying?

As I am not so dependable,

these things had happened.

Ojyo, you still don't understand.

eh?

If there is someone who shows concern,

that person can live a straight life.

Ojyo's thinking or feelings do reach them.

Your students can feel

one's kindness or pain.

You may be right.

Their hearts are well-built that way.

Hello?

Vice Principal...

Yamaguchi Sensei, what is going on?

Huh?

Sawada says he won't go to Waseda nor Keio.

Sawada said what?

Sawada!

Vice Principal called me. He was very upset.

Are you in trouble?

No, but...

You decided it by yourself.

Any particular reasons?

I've been...

uneasy and irritated lately..

eh?

I hit Noda because of that.

I've been jealous about the others

Yes! I am trying to get into Art Universities.

In future, I want to build up my own brand.

That's my dream.

I want to turn my restaurant into

an Authentic Chinese Restaurant.

In future, I'll get an Architect License.

Then, I can build your houses.

My friends have

their own dreams

and yet, I realized that I had no dreams.

Just to show disposition to my father,

I studied and took exams.

Last night,

I apologized to my father for the first time.

I won't attend universities.

Please accept my decision.

Then my father said OK.

I was full of rebel-energy, but

He accepted it so easily,

I got rather disappointed.

What a good understanding father he is!

Do you think so?

What's your plan after graduation?

In Africa, there is a job opening

to build an Elementary School.

There is no pay, but

Meals are to be provided 3 times a day.

Other than that, there are...

jobs to dig up wells,

and many more, I heard.

Volunteer work, I'm sure.

Nope. It's less than that.

At places I've never been to,

I want to try out something that I've never done before.

I see.

There's always a possibility that I might find things

I really want to do for the rest of my life.

Maybe not.

I bet you can find it,

As long as you look straight forward

and keep on searching.

I remember your words at that time,

eh?

Life is not so easy to decide.

You never know how it turns out to be.

You can try again and again.

That's what Yankumi said.

I realized it finally what I really want.

Sawada...

But...

Graduation Ceremony comes only once in life.

I wish...

With my buddies,

I want to graduate together.

Do you want to join me ?

Gladly.

Students are still not in good terms with each other.

Still that way.

They say they are not attending the ceremony

Is that so?

A man is not so clever.

A man just forgets what's really important to him,

Distracted by silly things.

Silly things?

Yeah.

Disposition, appearance and something in that nature.

And these stuffs are difficult to handle,

One cannot take them away by oneself.

I couldn't do so myself, either.

eh?

There wouldn't be a situation like this.

I couldn't agree to your mother's wish of normal marriage.

She disappeared from my sight. We could never see each other again.

Kumiko...

You must make sure your student must not

go through what I had gone through.

Grandpa...

Thank you.

Fight!

Oh!

Yo!

For Graduation Ceremony, I am thinking of

wearing a Body Con Wear. What do you say?

It'll be scary to see Yankumi

in Body Con Suit.

Why scary?

I look great in it.

Coming to a Game Center is good, but Graduation Ceremony is much better.

Fujiyama Sensei is gonna wear a mini skirt, I heard.

You girls want to date us?

We couldn't get those girls.

I got you.

You fool.

Wait a minute.

I'll teach you 100 successful ways to date girls,

if you attend the Graduation Ceremony?

I'll be expecting you.

You must come!

We all graduate together.

Tomorrow is the Graduation Ceremony.

What'll happen to 3-D?

Matsudaira!

eh?

You...

Why are you in a hurry?

Well...

I... I must be going.

I am not hiding anything.

So you are hiding something.

Yes.

If you need me for something, you must tell me so.

We are kind of busy.

I wanted to apologize.

Forget it.

Is that all?

Tomorrow's graduation Ceremony,

I want you to attend.

Don't call me for such a stupid thing.

We want to graduate together.

How long do you want to play buddies?

We got tired of such kiddy stuff.

Kiddy stuff?

Stop it!

We want to receive diplomas together.

It does not really matter.

We don't wish to attend.

Shut up.

We all graduate together...

Haven't we promised?

That's the last time we can be a member of 3-D.

What do I care?

I have other appointments.

Cut it out.

Shin, let's leave it that way.

No, we can't.

Hey, you!

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Hey, you.

Stop right there.

You think you are OK to be separated

from other classmates?

Like you can't communicate with each other

Like bouncing balls, bouncing away from buddies

Who cares? We are separated anyway.

To you, a relationships with 3-D is that much only.

What? Relationships?

Just high school classmates only.

Just?

After graduation, we just say goodbye.

That's all there is to it.

That's not it, isn't it?

Yankumi!

Forget it.

Everyone has his own mind.

You...

Every one is different, any way.

A way of living is different. A way of thinking is different.

We can not be in the same league any more.

Noda...

We were together in the same school for 3 years. That's all.

Buddies, Relationships...

Don't impose on us any more.

Noda!

These are your buddies, aren't they?

Aren't these your buddies that you can trust?

Because of your ego and disposition

Are you really OK to lose the life long treasure?

What do you say?

What about you, then?

Murata, when you were at the bottom,

Everyone got together and solve your problem.

When Sawada was deep in trouble,

Everyone got together to back him up.

When I was almost fired,

You got all together and saved me.

Because you were there,

I can be here as I am here today.

We crawled up so many obstacles together.

That's...

That's what buddies are meant to be.

I met Minami today.

Why do you think

he lied about Australia?

His father's company went bankrupt.

He could not even think about a Graduation Trip.

But he did not want us to worry,

He wanted us to enjoy a Graduation Trip.

You understand why he lied.

Still you don't understand this?

You still don't get it?

He regards us as his important buddies.

Minami is still thinking

We all attend the Graduation Ceremony all together.

You...

Noda!

Shut up!

Tomorrow Is Your Graduation. Congratulations! WAKABA

There is no way that I can attend

the ceremony after all this.

What's up?

eh?

Graduation Ceremony Heisei 14 (2002) Shirokin High School

Hey!

Minami!

Hey, you seem to gain weight again?

They are not really coming...

I'm afraid so.

Yama...

guchi sensei...

I'm sorry. I am late.

What on earth are you wearing?

Don't you know

Today is a Graduation Ceremony?

I've been dealing with students

like this for this past year.

But Graduation Ceremony means...

It really shows what Yamaguchi Sensei is all about.

I bet students like this way.

There is no need to dress up... just for Graduation Ceremony.

Yankumi is Yankumi to students.

Thank you.

A Big Trouble !

Hishiyama Construction Company called

Uchiyama's tentative job offer was revoked?

Tentative job offer had been canceled?

Why?

The store they destroyed the signboard

was a good customer of the company that offered me a job.

What are you doing?

They regard me as a member of the same gangs.

Any graduates from Shirokin must be eliminated.

Damn!

I can't forgive them.

Uchiyama

Is that true?

You knew it already, Yankumi.

But don't tell them anything, please.

They may mind.

If someone I don't know had done it,

I would have crushed him.

but those were done by my buddies

Yankumi!

Where are you going?

I cannot let it go.

Hey, you.

Where are you going?

Today's the Graduation Ceremony.

Kuma!

Hishiyama Construction Company

I beg you.

Kindly not to cancel Uchiyama's job offer.

We did it.

He has nothing to do with us.

I cannot accept it still.

If he is a friend of such violent students,

our customers regard him the same bunch. Thus, we had no choice.

Though we are low life students,

Uchiyama is different.

He loves his parent more than anybody.

He wants her mother to reduce her load of work.

He says he would become a carpenter.

He thinks of his buddies first.

He does not talk well but he is a warm hearted guy.

Please reconsider.

Please. I beg you.

I beg you.

Today is your Graduation Ceremony, isn't it?

How come you sneaked out?

Because he is our buddy.

Because we are buddies.

Please. would you please reconsider?

Please reconsider.

Please reconsider.

Please reconsider.

Uchiyama's future life depends upon this job.

Please reconsider.

Please reconsider.

Please reconsider.

Please reconsider.

Finally at last,

every single one had gathered.

Uchiyama-kun,

what's the meaning of this?

I'll do my best.

I won't give up any jobs no

matter how difficult it may be.

So kindly

let me work for you.

Please reconsider.

Washio Sensei?

Where is the Principal?

He just disappeared.

Where did he go?

You win.

Uchiyama-kun,

I'll depend on you.

Yes.

He did it!

Uchii...

Everyone...

Hey, you!

Now we head back to the Graduation Ceremony.

They have not shown up yet.

Principal!

What are you doing out here?

I thought we can wait a little bit more.

No, we cannot.

It's time we gave out diplomas.

3-A

Hurry up or you won't make it!

Congratulations on your graduation!

3-B

3-C

Well...

As for 3-D, due to certain circumstances,

They are absent from the ceremony.

They couldn't make it in time.

As such,

We shall go on to the next program.

Followed by

What is the meaning of this?

I'm very sorry.

Get out of here.

Diplomas will be later...

3-D

3-D

Yes.

You stand in line. Quick!

Hurry up!

Graduation Ceremony Shirokin High School

This is to certify that you had duly finished the course at this school.

We, hereby, certify your graduation.

March 07, Year of Heisei 15th (2003)

Shirakawa Genzo, Principal at Shirokin Gakuin High School

Congratulations on your Graduation!

Valedictorian's Speech

by Sawada Shin of 3-D.

Sawada, read this.

You haven't prepared anything good, I'm sure.

I can never trust teachers.

Schools are all the same.

That's what I thought.

I was wrong.

Here at this school,

There is only one, one and only though,

that I could trust whole heartedly.

Here,

I found real buddies.

Together, we fought,

Together, we did silly things,

Together, we shed tears,

There were buddies here.

Instead of winning in fist fights,

I'd rather be beaten together.

There were buddies here.

I'd like to be a life long buddy with them.

Everyone goes on his way from today.

That has no impact on me.

We are buddies.

Graduation gives me this much sadness...

I did not know that.

From tomorrow,

I cannot walk through the Shirokin's Gate.

I cannot go to 3-D's dirty class room.

I cannot hear Yankumi's scolding voice.

There would be no more...

I feel really sad.

Yet,

I might meet various people.

By meeting many people,

We shall learn many things.

These are very important factors in life.

It is Yankumi who had taught us that way.

Yankumi!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much!

You...

We hereby promise

With a memory of people meeting here,

With knowledge we have learned here,

With a pride of being Graduates

of Shirokin High School,

With all our might and desires,

We look and live straight on this day forward.

For these 3 years,

We thank you very much.

GOKUSEN

Don't cry.

Don't show tears.

OK.

We got you!

She never learns.

You...

Blackboard:Grate Graduation! (should've been Great Graduation!)

Who cannot learn already? Still Wrong Kanji.

I feel terrible... What have they learned?

Yankumi...

I am afraid...

I had...

imposed the meaning of buddies...

or Fist Fights...

as if I knew everything in life.

but every single move was a trial and error

and I was not so confident

on what I was doing

Yet...

You guys had taught me

If I tackled the problems with all of my heart

You could open your heart to respond.

Like you...,

something so undoubtedly straight...

and so honest,...

It might be rare to find,

possibly I would face bigger problems in future,

but yet, that's why, I think...

I was so blessed...

to have you in my class.

Whole heartedly, I think I was blessed

to have you as my 1st students.

Thank you, all.

My term as your home-room teacher

expires today.

As a teacher, there is one thing

I must tell you last.

A buddy means...

No matter how far you live apart,

No matter how many years you could not see

It's a life long treasure. Cherish it.

Never, ever forget about it.

Yankumi,

I decided to go to Night School, while working.

Good luck, Minami.

I'll pass the Art College next year.

I know you can do it, Noda.

Come and eat my Ramen.

Sure!

Yours is a 4-star Ramen, Kuma.

When you feel lonely, call me at any time.

Make sure to take care of your Mom, Uchiyama.

Yankumi,

You said you could be our teacher up until today.

You'll be a home-room teacher for long time

Forever

And Ever.

You...

All together,

Greetings!

So long, you guys!

Come and show your face some time.

See you!

Sayonara! Genkidena! (Genkidena=Take care)

Bye...

I hope you enjoyed Gokusen Special so far. If you laughed a little, shed some tears here and there, my task was completed. Enjoy the rest of the show.

Kumiko!

Old Japanese customs-Striking 2 pebble stones 3 times behind one's back to get rid of bad fortune on special occasions.

Wait a minute.

I'll be off to school.

Take care.

A new semester begins today.

Yes.

I wonder what kind of students are coming this time.

Looking forward to meeting them?

Yes, very much.

Kumiko-san!

Should you need anything,

Just remember that I am always beside you...

Don't forget about it...

Shinohara-san,

How about going to the movies with me?

Sure. I'd love to.

Really?

Now that I, Sawatari, became a principal,

We must make sure that

The ratio of willingness to higher education is going UP,

The ratio of acceptance at national and famous private universities are going UP

Up Up... so noisy.

You are in charge of the Senior Class this year.

I feel pain in my stomach since I woke up.

I found a cute boy in the freshman class.

You are too quick.

You two should tone down.

Yamaguchi Sensei,

Are you listening?

Yes, I was...

I'm sorry.

Fight!

Oh!

Good morning.

Attention!

Silence!

Can't you hear what I just said?!

Listen. Listen good!

When someone is talking,

you be silent and listen to him. That's the etiquette.

For 3 years from today,

I'll take good care of you.

No matter what. I'll lead you.

I'll make sure that

All will graduate together.

Well, then,

Let's begin our lesson.

This drama is fictitious and bears no resemblances (except for names) to any real person.
