Gokusen 2 Memories

“Yankumi: Yabuki, listen up. A person being strong or weak, is not decided by pure strength. Do you want to keep doing this? I’ve said it so many times, and you still don’t get it. Yakubi, listen up! A person, as long as they have the power to the protect things that are most important to them, it’s enough.”




“Yankumi: You mean that girl has a future, and you don’t, so that why you don’t care what will happen to you? Of course there’s something wrong. Such a thing, it’s just s small obstacle in life. That girl has a future, and so do you.

Tsuchiya: There’s a difference.

Yankumi:You guys aren’t different!

Tsuchiya: I can’t compare to her!

Yankumi: Why must one be compared to the other? Your future and her future are equally important. Your opportunities are equal.”




“Takeda: I had no choice. Normal efforts won’t do it for me.

Yankumi: Have you tried? Relying on others, you didn’t do anything on your own!

Takeda: It won’t matter if I did! I can’t fight, and have no guts. If I don’t use such methods, she won’t acknowledge me!

*Yankumi punches him*

Yankumi: Stop joking! Stop talking nonsense! Who said such indecent methods are okay? What’s important is the strength inside. “




“Yankumi: Weak? Who said he is weak? Although he has no strength to match yours, he has a strong heart that refuses to give up till the last moment. I think he is very strong. Compared to you, he is much better! “




“Yankumi: Everyone, listen up! The graduation certificate you have just received is not only a piece of paper. It is a representation of all that you have learned these past 3 years. And one more thing: from now on, even when faced with adversity, with pain, when you can’t feel you can win by yourself, you just need to remember … Remember that you have such great friends. And remember that you all have me. I will always be by your side. Although it has been for only 3 months, being your homeroom teacher, I feel very proud. Thank you.”
