Full version of the ED will be released on March 1.

Rare occasion when Kaku Kento's overacting works.

Dramacool

No, but it's completely fine if you don't watch it.

YamaPi in this drama is the best version of him. Not too mature but not too young either.

Shounen manga character: "I reject my humanity to become one with the devil"

Komikado: "I reject my humanity and become plant"

subbed or raw?

Decent, but you need to watch the SP to understand why the protagonist is known by most of the townspeople.

This franchise is the pioneer of "passionate teacher" drama.

Episode 9 show you a glimpse of Sakai Masato in Hanzawa Naoki.

wait till the official release of the song.

A bit surprising that the original story is much more lighter than the drama.

At the end of every episode, 3 minute post-credit segment.

this is the best Heisei Phase 2 series, followed by Gaim.

this doesn't aged well.

The opposite imo. Sagara can't even beat Eiji in the final fight, if he is strong enough he can beat him with a few hit, his connection with Yakuza is what makes him look strong.

misspelled, gomen.

I get your point, but "Medium to High" Violence is present in every IWGP episode, except Episode 4 (drug dealer and illegal immigrant episode). While Gokusen only have 30-40% of it's episode where violence is involved. IMO Gokusen's violence is less gory, just a Tokusatsu level of fight scene. Even Bad Boys J have a better fight scene than gokusen.

Sagara is actually not really strong. he seems to be nerfed because the main boys getting stronger.
