Synopsis
The continuation of the popular Gokusen series.
Half a year has passed and Shirokin Gakuen has closed down. Yamaguchi Kumiko (Nakama Yukie) finds herself a teacher of a few young kids who don't really benefit much from her style of teaching. Through some twist of fate, she is offered a job as a teacher in Kurogin Gakuen.
She becomes the teacher of a delinquent 3D class which make her previous students look like angels. In order to protect her job, she must again hide her true identity — the fact that she is the 4th generation of the Oedo Family, a prominent yakuza group.

Trivia
- Season 2 was aired last January-March 2005, 2 years and 6 months after the first season and 1 year and 9 months after the special. Some of the original cast were retained. Like Yankumi's family(her grandpa, Wakamatsu, Minoru, Tetsu & Shigeru), Vice Principal and of course the only remaining student of Yankumi in season 1, Kumai Teruo aka KUMA.
- If you take a look around the classroom during episode 10, you can see a lot of cartoons of Yankumi. There's some at her podium, board, left side of wall when facing class, and the wall right behind the students as you are facing them.
- The insert song was sung by Kamenashi Kazuya of KAT-TUN
