I saw _GTO_ a while ago, and now I need to find out in which episode of the
anime he writes a kanji wrong (辛, spicy, instead of 幸, happiness).

I know that in the manga there is an episode in Lesson 51 / 52 where he writes
like "tax sex" instead of "best of Japan" after scoring top grade in the
public tests, which should be around episode 15 - 16 in the anime, but the
scene got deleted and anyway the setting I remember is quite different.

I think the scene I remember takes place on the school roof, with the boys
correcting him. I have nothing more than this, besides a few hypothesis. Can
you help me?

Which episode has Onizuka getting the kanji wrong?


This is from episode 23, "Superstition". The summary from
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Great_Teacher_Onizuka_episodes):

> Eikichi receives a cursed chain letter, but he dismisses it as superstition.
> After a series of misfortunes, he begins to believe in the letter and does
> whatever he can (including suggestions from Kanzaki to write spells all over
> himself) to dispel the curse.

In Japan, the "cursed chain letter" is infamously known as 不幸の手紙 ( _fukou no
tegami_ , misfortune letter), usually begins with

> これは不幸の手紙です。  
>  This is a misfortune letter.

However, in this episode, Onizuka instead wrote

> これは **不辛** の手紙です。  
>  This is a **non-spicy** letter.

The setting was actually inside the classroom, not on the school roof, and the
boys (and girls too) were mocking Onizuka.
