50 free Great Teacher Onizuka trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Great Teacher Onizuka starts with a simple joke: the toughest ex-gang member in town decides to become a teacher, for all the wrong reasons. What keeps readers and viewers coming back is the cast around him. Eikichi Onizuka is broke and hopelessly immature, yet he will do anything for a pupil in trouble, and the class that was meant to break him ends up on his side, one student at a time. This quiz is built around those characters. It covers Onizuka himself, fellow teacher Azusa Fuyutsuki and the staff of Holy Forest Academy, the schemers, bullies and misfits of Class 3-4, their parents, and the old friends from Onizuka's wilder days. Other questions go behind the story: the creator and the prequel, the anime's makers, music and voice cast, and the live-action dramas and their stars. It suits anyone who knows GTO from the manga, the anime or the 1998 drama. The opening questions are ones most fans will get, and the deeper cuts on side characters and adaptations come later.
