description Young GTO Overview

Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma are members of infamous biker duo, the Oni Baku. When not out riding around, they can be found in school, trying to pick up young women. This is the story of the young Onizuka, who would later become the greatest teacher in Japan, and his partner Ryuji in their quest to lose their virginity and reach maturity. They are widely feared bosozoku, and are known for their tenacity and viciousness in a fight.

However, this lifestyle does not exactly endear them to the opposite gender, so they decide to change their ways. However, this is easier said than done. (Source: ANN)

help Young GTO FAQ

Is Young GTO a prequel to Great Teacher Onizuka?

Yes, Young GTO adapts Shonan Junai Gumi and follows teenage Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma before Onizuka becomes a teacher. The pair are already known as the feared Oni-Baku biker duo.

How many Young GTO anime episodes are there?

The animated adaptation consists of five original-video episodes released between 1994 and 1997. It covers only part of the much longer Shonan Junai Gumi manga, so the story is not a complete adaptation.

Should I watch Young GTO before Great Teacher Onizuka?

It works well as a prequel, but Great Teacher Onizuka introduces Onizuka clearly enough to watch first. Young GTO adds context for his friendship with Ryuji, biker reputation, and recurring characters from their Shonan years.

Is Young GTO the same story as GTO: The Early Years?

They come from the same source manga, Shonan Junai Gumi. Tokyopop used GTO: The Early Years for its English manga release, while Young GTO commonly refers to the five-episode OVA adaptation.
