Baki finally confronts his father Yujiro, while also exploring his relationship with his girlfriend, Kozue. This season introduces a new formidable character, Pickle, a prehistoric caveman discovered in Colorado.

The English II curriculum focuses on advancing students' language proficiency and literary analysis skills. Students delve into classic and contemporary literature, honing their ability to use grammar effectively in both reading and writing. Supported by a diverse range of resources, including carefully selected texts and engaging activities, the curriculum aims to cultivate critical thinking and articulate communication in the realm of 10th-grade English studies.
