As you all already know...

This year's graduation ceremony in April will be completely different

It will also include the mediation of the new Kurogin Academy

We expect many great guests at this ceremony

This is all thanks to Board Chairman Kurokawa!

No, no. It's all because of the teachers.

No, no...

You're right

Yamaguchi-sensei...

By the way, Yamaguchi-sensei...

Yes

Even though there's only four more days till graduation

Please don't let your guard down

and keep a good watch on those students until the end, ok?

I don't need to keep a watch on them, they're fine

They're all hyped up about graduating

We're telling not to let your guard down like you are now!

Yes

Is that so?

Yes!

Today, we will be practicing for the graduation ceremony

Don't "eh"!

We don't need to practice that

What are you saying?

It's a great occasion celebrating how much you've grown

Don't you want to practice hard and look great?

Class 3-D, please enter

Don't walk so sluggishly!

Hey, don't look that way towards the guests!

This isn't an athletic meet!

You don't have to wave your hands so much!

You keep telling us so many things, we don't get it all!

Is walking normally that difficult for you?

Now we will have the school anthem

One, two, three, go

What's wrong?

Do you know the anthem?

I don't

We have an anthem?

We do!

I don't know it either

Handing out the graduation certificates

Class 3-D's representative, Yabuki Hayato

Graduation...

Thanks

- Hey, hey, don't "thanks" - What do you want?

Use both of your hands and lower your head

Here

Yes...

Now that we have our certificates, it means the ceremony is...

Over!

Who wants theirs?

Are they going to be okay during the ceremony like this?

Gokusen 2

I see, that must have been tough on you

Those guys...

I don't even know if they can sit still during the ceremony

Lately, there are guys who make a fuss during coming-of-age ceremonies too

By the way, Ojou...

Have you decided what to wear to the graduation ceremony?

I forgot...

What should I wear?

Then, please wear this

It's a congratulations gift from me

Thanks Minoru!

Congratulations...

...on graduating!

I don't think I can wear this...

I thought so...

Hey!

I'm sorry!

Idiot, what are you thinking?

It's a graduation ceremony! Get out of the way!

Ojou!

I also prepared something

Thank you, Tetsu!

Congratulations...

...on your graduation!

There's no way...

I think so too

Hey!

I'm sorry!

Man, you're so useless!

Shigeru, bring it here

Yes!

If it is Oedo Household's fourth generation...

Then it has to be...

I won't wear Japanese clothes

Is that so?

If you just touch it...

Welcome

Long time no see, see

Slidin' by as usual

It's not like we've done anything to have cops involved

Do you where Kudo is?

Kudo?

Do you guys wanna join my gang?

I'd welcome the two of you

Wasn't he caught?

He escaped last night

Escaped?

Wait, what?

Really?

He's your senior, right?

Do you know anything?

We don't know anything

You guys aren't thinking of doing something unnecessary before graduation, are you?

We said we don't know

I see

Sorry for disturbing

Yamaguchi-sensei

Kujo-sensei, good morning!

Good morning

The graduation ceremony will be soon, right?

Yes

It makes me happy and sad

It's a complicated occasion, right?

It is...

By the way...

Do you have some time today?

I have something to tell you

Kujo-sensei asked you out?

That's right

He said he has something to tell me

Something to tell you?

Maybe he'll confess to you!

Confess?!

Oh my, what should I do?

Yamaguchi-sensei, did you know?

Kujo-sensei is being transferred to Hokkaido

Hokkaido?

Wow, Hokkaido?

I've never been there

Wait, transferred?

He's been appointed at the branch of Momogaoka Girl's School over there

Kujo-sensei is going to leave!

No way!

It's still too early to feel depressed

But...

Maybe he wants to confess to you because he won't be able to see you after he transfers!

I see!

That has to be it!

What would I do if he asks me to move with him to Hokkaido?

No way...

Do your best, ok?

This might be your last chance!

Yes!

Here!

Here

This is the ceremony's agenda

Here, distribute this

The graduation ceremony will start at nine in the morning...

So don't be late, ok~?

Yes, distribute it, distribute it

Are you okay?

Here, next time don't drop it, ok?

Uh, ok

Yamaguchi-sensei...

Ever since I first saw you, I've been...

Yankumi...

Not Yankumi...

Please call me Kumiko!

Kumiko?

Yes!

Don't daydream while distributing printouts

Yes

That's how it is...

So I'll be home a little late today

I'll depend on you

Ojou and Kujo...

Bro...

So Yankumi has a date

Yeah

Introduce him to me

I can't, it'd be a waste

See you then, Kuma!

Ah, do your best!

- See you! - Ok!

Are you okay?

Ojou and Kujo...

Ojou and Kujo...

Ojou and Kujo... Ojou and Kujo... Ojou and Kujo... Ojou and Kujo... Ojou and Kujo...

I'm sorry for calling you out

What are you saying? Not at all!

I don't think we can talk as teachers anymore

It's finally here, here, here!

Um...

Yes

Um...

Actually, what I want to talk about is...

Yes

Actually...

I am being transferred to a school in Hokkaido

Yes, I heard from Shiratori-sensei

Is that so?

Yes

Please come to visit during your summer holidays

Yes, of course!

And...?

Hm?

You wanted to talk to me about something?

Don't tell me it was only about your transfer to Hokkaido?

Yes

I'm sorry...

For calling you out just for this

No, not at all...

Do your best, ok?

This might be your last chance!

Last chance, eh?

If that's the case, I'll have to confess myself!

Fight-oh!

Oh!

Kujo-sensei

Actually I have something to tell you

Um...

That is...

Actually...

Since I first met you...

Kujo-san

Kujo-san...

I... have always...

I'm sorry!

Don't worry...

Takeda?!

For goodness sake, why now??

Hello? What's wrong?

Fight?

You guys!

Hey, sit down!

Yo, yo!

What do you mean, "yo"?

Weren't you guys in a fight?

Fight?

We didn't say that

Takeda

You called and said they were fighting

I said we stopped two drunks from fighting

And that drunk gave us money as thanks

We told him no but he was being pushy

So we decided to call you for advice

Didn't think you would come straight here after we called

So you guys weren't fighting then...?

Yankumi...

Let's start listening to people till they finish, okay?

Just when I was about to confess to Kujo-sensei...

Confess?

No, nothing...

Now for the graduation certificates...

I told you I don't know

You have to remember before the ceremony!

Graduation ceremony, huh?

Kudo...

Looks like you escaped

I got into a lot of trouble because of you guys

I thought I'd fully show my appreciation

Kudo-san

Don't think you can graduate so easily

Kudo escaped from jail?

We are currently searching for him

But we haven't found any trace yet

By the way, Yamaguchi-sensei

Have you noticed anything different with your students?

No, nothing at all

I think that Kudo has contacted your students

That guy blames his capture on Yamaguchi-sensei, Yabuki and the other students

He really hates you and your students for getting him caught

That's just unjustified resentment on his part

But he's not a very logical person

So you're saying that there's a possibility he would get close to them?

We don't know for sure

This is bad...

I wonder if they'll raid during the graduation ceremony

And also...

One of your students may be his accomplice

This is still a possibility

Please don't joke around

That's what it's about, so please be careful

We will be co-operating with you to arrest him as soon as possible

Until then...

Thank you for your hard work...

Adios

Just as we thought, trash will always be trash

That student Kudo, was our school's disgrace

Just like our class 3-D right now

Unfortunately, no matter how much we guide them

Those kind of guys will never change

It's just useless trying to help them

No way

That is why starting April, our school will be reborn

That's right...

Cutting out useless students and teaching

And guiding bright students is the best thing

There's not a single student worth cutting out!

Yamaguchi-sensei

You are free to be idealistic

But remember you must abide by my rules

As long as you are a teacher here in my school

I hope Kudo doesn't cause any trouble with those class 3-D students

But if there is, it might be more convenient for me

Good morning

What's wrong?

Omori and the others were beaten up

Who beat you up?

The guy who was expelled last year from Kurogin, Kudo

It was him?

He's dangerous!

But wasn't he arrested by the cops?

It seems that he's escaped

Yabuki, you knew?

Actually, I saw him yesterday

You saw Kudo?

Come to think of it...

He said something strange...

To say hello to Yabuki and the others

So that's how it is

Kudo's real target... is us

He told us...

"Don't think you'll graduate so easily"

What's that?

Stop screwing around!

Who does he think he is?

Everyone, listen up!

Don't fight with Kudo if you meet him

Ok

Same to all of you

Be careful

Ok

The graduation ceremony is the day after tomorrow

You'll be graduating soon

Understand?

Ojou, going out?

Yeah, for a bit

Ojou, someone here to see you

- A guest? - Yes

Head Teacher Sawatari!

You were...

...about to go somewhere?

Yes

To find Kudo, right?

No

You can't fool me, you know

I can't leave him as long as I know my students are his target

That kind of action will bring the Board Chairman's wrath upon you

The Board Chairman...

...knows that you are granddaughter of this household

It was my blunder for asking you to teach at our school

but the Board Chairman, while still unsure of your background

No, knowing of your background

Still let you take care of class 3-D

Thinking that you might get the entire class kicked out

However, you did not get them expelled

Instead you caused all manner of trouble for the Board Chairman

The Board Chairman finds you to be an eyesore

Ojou an eyesore?

Tetsu!

Yes

He wants to fire me, right?

If there's any trouble this time...

He'll fire you

Fire Ojou?

Minoru!

Yes

You guys!

Yes

That's enough, leave!

Yes

The Board Chairman will use any reason no matter how small

As an excuse to fire you

So you're telling me to obey the Board Chairman?

That's right!

That's impossible!

If a teacher is afraid of being fired, she can't protect her students

Why don't you start protecting yourself a little?

Does that Kudo...

...really intend on getting revenge on Hayato and the others?

Bad news!

What's up with your face?

We were beaten up by Kudo and his gang

And Akiyama and Sakuraba were taken by them

Where?

Kabadanchi

"If you want us to return them, tell Hayato and them to come," he said

Using hostages?

That bastard... using dirty tricks

Hey, wait a sec...

I know!

You're talking about the promise with Yankumi, right?

Yeah

What promise?

We all promised Yankumi that we wouldn't fight until we graduate

So that we can all graduate together...

But we can't abandon our friends

Ryu, let's go

We don't have to fight

That's right

We don't know if they'll listen or not

But let's try to talk to Kudo

I understand

I'll go too

Me too!

You guys can't come!

We can't let you go like this

Please...

We don't want to involve any of you anymore than this

Don't worry...

We'll talk him out of it

Those guys...

Kuma, what's wrong?

What did you say?

Akiyama!

Sakuraba!

Welcome, my cute juniors

Return those two

Sure

Once I'm finished with you guys

Hayato...

What's wrong?

Fight back

We have no intention of fighting you

Oh, how interesting

We promised Yankumi...

We won't fight recklessly anymore

Oh, that teacher

I see...

You guys are good little students obeying the teachers

Please, let them go

What the hell are you saying?

Please stop this

I was expelled from Kurogin

So why is it that you guys are allowed to graduate?

Hey, tell me

You guys are failures just like me

Is your promise with the teacher that important?

Yeah

Teachers only exist to talk

That's not true!

Don't go believing what a teacher says!

We believe in Yankumi

Yankumi will never betray us

What a beautiful sentiment...

Don't make me laugh

Laugh if you want

There's no way you'd understand

Fine with me

Protect your promise with your teacher all you want

I'll do what I want

Hey!

You guys...

We told you not to come!

We couldn't just leave you guys!

We can't abandon you!

Bring it on!

Hey, stop it!

Stop!

Please

Stop!

Stop!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Can you hear me?

I told you stop!

Kudo...

Please...

Stop it already...

Why?

Why did it end up like this?

Kudo, please...

Stop this now

You make me mad

What teacher?

What graduation?

Hey

Ryu...

Stop...

Stop!!!

Don't touch them any further!

Yankumi

Yankumi

Yankumi

Yankumi

You guys...

How dare you hurt my precious students

What precious students?

Don't talk crap!

To you teachers, these guys are eyesores just like us

Don't put them on the same level as you!

Kudo...

Hand yourself in to the cops

Shut up

You want to continue running away from the cops all your life?

Don't lecture me!

You're not willing to hand yourself in, no matter what?

Yeah

I haven't paid you back yet!

If that's the case, I guess there's no other way

Since it's for my precious students

I won't go easy on you

Don't keep talking!

Hating teachers, hating school, hating the world...

Does that make you happy?

Why you!

Don't keep living hiding behind your back!

People live by facing forward being proud of themselves!

I said shut up!

You guys, don't run away!

Come back here!

Dammit!

I received a call from Head Teacher Sawatari

You do some reckless things

I'm sorry

No, you saved us some trouble

Kudo

Don't run anymore

If you're willing, you can start your life all over as many times as you want

Understand?

No matter how much you're suffering...

You must never run away

If you had such a teacher and friends

You may not have taken the wrong way

Adios, sensei

Sorry

We broke the promise...

Sorry

But they were only trying to save me and Sakuraba

It's not their fault

I know

You guys are all students I'm proud of

[ Kurogin High students involved in gang related fight with fugitive ]

This is bad

But Kudo was arrested so shouldn't class 3-D be thanked?

That's right

Even though the methods were bad, everything worked out in the end, right?

But the Board Chairman won't think that way

He hates it most when Kurogin's name comes out in newspaper like this

We should've punished them sooner

What's most important is that you know that you were in the right

Board chairman...

You've done an unbelievable thing

Board Chairman, I apologize

But please don't believe the newspaper article

It is true that there was a head-on fight

They should've know what was going to happen being called by that guy

But that is...

We understand how you feel

You think that it's ok since they were going there for their friends...

But this also has to do with them using violence

That wasn't violence

Your head-on with those guys has hurt our school's image

And thus...

All of you are hereby expelled!

Expelled?

Please wait a moment

Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony!

And there are a lot of students who have decided on their future

Please don't let them be expelled!

Please!

It's too bad

Head Teacher Sawatari!

This time...

We can't let them go

Please wait

I will take responsibility for it

It is all my fault for not teaching them properly

I see

In other words...

You will take responsibility by quitting

Yes

Very well

Yankumi

What are you saying?

You didn't do anything wrong

Yankumi!

Be quiet!

The students can graduate now, right?

Of course

Thank you very much

Hey, wait a minute!

This is not right!

Be quiet!

Yamaguchi-sensei

You will resign as of today, right?

Yes

You all should thank Yamaguchi-sensei

And attend tomorrow's graduation ceremony as proper high school students

Why?

Don't act on your own

Yankumi!

This is fine

How is this fine?

It's not fine at all!

We can't agree with this!

Yankumi, you don't have to quit!

It's all our fault

You promised me, right?

That you would fulfill my dream

That all of you graduate together...

That was my dream

Are you really quitting?

There was no need to go so far to cover for those students

I was hired till March originally

But tomorrow is the graduation ceremony

Can't we do something?

At least one more day

This is a little too harsh

Thank you very much

But I'm fine with this

Yamaguchi-sensei

Even though we only knew each other for a short time...

Thank you everyone

Thank you for your hard work

Head Teacher Sawatari

Thank you very much

I'm really shocked by you

I'm sorry

It seems that you have quit Kurogin Academy

Yes

That's just like you, Yamaguchi-sensei

Worrying more about your students than yourself

I want to become a teacher just like you

Please take care

Please take care

Kumiko

May I come in for a little?

Yes, Grandpa

Grandpa...

...doesn't think your solution was wrong

You protected your students

Be more confident

Yes

Grandpa is proud of you, Kumiko

Thank you

Dammit...

Why was Yankumi fired?

Can't we do something?

We can't do anything!

So you're fine as it is?

Stop it!

It's sad, isn't it?

Yamaguchi-sensei would have liked to see 3-D's graduation

Everyone, I'm counting on all of you today

As we've told of you before

Today we are having great guests coming

Please be...

What is this about?

What's wrong?

Don't tell me you came to thank us?

We have a request

A request?

Please revoke Yankumi's resignation

Please!

We'll take responsibility

So...

You can expel us

That's fine, right?

Don't be stupid!

In any case, the ceremony is about to start

So go to the hall immediately

If you don't revoke Yankumi's resignation...

We won't attend the ceremony

What did you say?

A lot of very important guests are attending

We understand how you feel, but please calm down

Yamaguchi-sensei won't be happy if you do this

That's right...

Please, don't fire Yankumi!

Please don't fire her!

What's so great about such a undevoted teacher?

She's not undevoted!

She was...

The first teacher who accepted us as we are

So you won't attend the ceremony no matter what?

Yeah

If you won't revoke her resignation...

We will not attend the ceremony

We'll wait in the classroom for your answer

Hey!

Hey hey hey

Board Chairman, it's time

We can't bow to their threat

We will start the ceremony like this

Head Teacher?

The students of 3-D are planning to boycott the graduation ceremony

Boycott the graduation ceremony?

Yes

They are willing to be expelled as long as your resignation is revoked

This isn't what you wish, is it?

Goodbye

What do they think they're doing?

Kumiko

Ojou

Go

Yes

We will now begin the graduation ceremony

First, a greeting from our Board chairman Kurokawa Ginji

Everyone...

As you have already noticed, class 3-D is absent

Class 3-D was a group of students who would always cause problems

Two days ago, they caused a fuss that was written about in the newspapers

And now they are not able to attend the ceremony

This is just a reminder that no matter what

Worthless students will always be worthless

Starting April, our school...

...will be fully removed of such students

We will only have bright students who will bring success to our school

What are you guys doing?

Yankumi!

Hurry up and go to the gym!

There's no point...

...to a graduation ceremony without you...

Don't joke around

We're being serious!

If you weren't here...

I wouldn't have come to school

Me too

I would've been expelled a long time ago

I might have become a criminal's accomplice

I probably would've stayed a coward

I started thinking school was fun thanks to you

Me too!

It's because of you that we've come so far

So we want to graduate in front of you so you can proud of us

We worked so hard just for that

If you resign just so we can graduate

That doesn't make us happy

We're better off expelled!

That's right!

We're the ones who caused the problem

Isn't it our duty to take responsibility?

Don't talk as if you understand!

Did you guys attend school all by yourself?

Didn't your parents pay for it by working hard?

You're willing to put it to waste?

Do you know how your parents supported your high school life?

Handing out the graduation certificates

Class 3-A

Representative Fujimoto Ryusuke

Yes

Listen

Graduation has a bigger meaning in life than you think

That's why we have graduation ceremonies

Graduation ceremony might be boring for you

But it's a ceremony to thank your parents for what they've done for you

For your fathers and your mothers...

It's a ceremony for your parents who have raised you so well so far

Do you understand?

Yes

But...

Yankumi...

You went so far as to be fired for us

You still don't understand

Your graduation is worth me getting fired

It's okay for me to be fired for you guys

There's no greater happiness than this

That's why...

I want you guys to graduate feeling proud of yourselves

Let's go

Feeling proud of ourselves...

Let's get our graduation certificates together

Yabuki...

Odagiri...

You guys...

Class 3-C

Representative Suzuki Shigeki

Yes

And so we will be concluding the graduation ceremony...

Please wait

What do you want now?

You have already resigned from our school

I apologize

Please let the students attend

What is she thinking?

This is no place for you to be!

Don't you think it's better to listen to her here?

Hurry up and take your seats

Thank you very much!

Understand?

Do it properly feeling proud

Hurry

Class 3-D

Yes

Representative Yabuki Hayato

Yes

Congratulations on graduating

Now we conclude the distribution of the graduation certificates

Continuing on...

I would like to request the retired teacher for a speech

Yamaguchi-sensei

Was that in the agenda?

No, it wasn't

What is he saying?

Yamaguchi-sensei

Everyone...

I apologize for creating such a commotion during the graduation ceremony

I am very sorry

I am to leave Kurogin Academy

But as I was able to witness such a prominent side of my students

I have no regrets at all

As the Board Chairman has said

They were useless students in the beginning

They never treated teachers as teachers

They were all talk

Everything they did was done halfway

If anything happened, they would immediately start fighting

But they have strong hearts that knows how to protect someone

They grew up being able to answer to their parents feelings

They still have a lot to learn

But that's not a bad thing

It's okay to take little detours

It's okay to mature slowly

As long as they grow up as strong beings who are able to feel others' pain

That's how I feel

Listen

Right now, those graduation certificates you have

Don't think that it's just a piece of paper

That certificate is carrying the weight of the three years that you spent here

Maybe you weren't able to study

However...

You guys have learned...

How to protect...

How to protect what's important to you...

By holding yourself back

You've learned not to give up

You've learned not to run away

Believing in yourself

Believing in your friends

Always living proudly

I want you to live remembering what you have learnt in these three years

And one more thing...

Ahead of you

There might be sad and harsh times

When you can't get through them alone, then remember...

You have friends

And that you have me

I will always be on your side

I was here for a short time

But I am proud of having been their homeroom teacher

Thank you very much

For our three years here...

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

You guys...

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

I never thought 3-D's students would make me feel so sentimental

Everyone is congratulating the students of 3-D

That's because they're so good!

Alright all of you

Let's go!

Yeah!

They're so happy

Even though they were fine with being expelled

No matter what, they were a cute bunch

It'll be a little lonely from now on

Ya-yamaguchi-sensei...

Baba-sensei...

Fight-oh!

Everyone looks so happy

Of course!

Because they're all Ojou's students

Ojou, congratulations!

I'm glad

I'll be leaving now

Yeah

See ya, Yankumi!

Take care!

Yankumi's too great!

It was fun!

Yankumi, see ya again!

Yeah, see you again!

Bye bye!

See you, you guys

Thanks for your hard work!

Thanks for everything

I'll work hard at my job

Let's go for a meal soon

Let's play catch next time

Don't catch a cold

Don't get into fights

Same to you

See ya!

See ya!

Don't forget us

Bye bye, Yankumi

Thanks a lot

It was really fun!

Thanks for everything, Yankumi

Yankumi, work hard at your job

You too, work hard at your job

Yeah

It was really fun, thanks

I have become a high school graduate!

Yankumi, hurry and find yourself a good guy

Shut up

See you! Bye bye!

See you, you guys!

Yankumi...

We caused you a lot of trouble

Thanks

We'll count on you even after this

We're really glad we met you

You're our teacher we can be proud of

Now...

And always

You guys...

Cheers!

Bye!

Bye all of you!

Take care!

All right...

Fight-oh!

Oh!

[ One Month Later ]

It's useless...

I'm completely lost...

Excuse me...

Yes

Is there a Yambaru High School around here?

Ah, I'm also on my way to Yambaru High School

How about we go together?

Head Teacher?

Yamaguchi-sensei

Why...?

Were you fired?

You're wrong!

I resigned

I didn't get along with that Board Chairman

W-wa...

Listen...

At the next school, you have to keep your background a ...

I know, for goodness sake...

One more thing

You'll probably be in charge of another bunch of losers, so be prepared

Wh-what??

Class D. Definitely class D...

What about you Head Teacher Sawatari?

You're always Head Teacher. How about you get promoted already!

Yamaguchi-sensei...

Are you going to wearing jerseys at the next school too?

Of course I'll wear jerseys

You're a math teacher, wearing a jersey is weird

What's so weird about a jersey?

How about wearing lady-like clothes?

Lady-like, you say?
