@@SchoolPrincipalReacts apparently the Japanese have a separation between high school division which means instead of jumping between elementary to high school, it's elementary, middle school, high school and college/university.

Yeah it's really sad that the teacher is literally right there but doesn't try to stop the bullying. It actually plays part in one of the overarching themes of this series, which is how their society treats people with "amazing" quirks (to put it lightly) vastly different than those who are quirkless or with "unusual" quirks.
@@bethanymiddleton5758but seriously, when it’s happening infront of them wouldn’t a teacher atleast tell the bully to sit back down? Also, bakugo destroyed a desk (school property) and was halting a lesson
Wow when your someone who's been watching this show since it came out its such a nostalgia trip seeing these characters when they first started because they are way different now.
for real I get whiplash every time I go back and watch earlier episodes. All these characters have come so far, but they've also been through so much ♥💔
It's a thing in Japan when you graduate middle school you need to pass a exam to get into high school and you can apply to high schools not in your town and some high schools specialize is some areas like one might have a great sport program for a spot or maybe they have the higher grades so students from there go into high paying jobs
I believe the public 1-12 grade school system in very much an American thing, derived from how it usually works from the system it was built off of, in Europe. Hence why grades 9 through 12 have their own specific names, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, it's a holdover from when there was an actual transition point into "high" school, where public education ended at grade 8.
That sounds really cool actually. I would have been terrified to leave my friends and family so soon, but woulda gave me a better leg up i bet than just going off to college for the first time and having so much responsibility thrust on me at once. Didnt handle that well.
All your commentary about how people view certain schools and careers with prestige, all the commentary about how discrimination & bullying operate, what motivates certain characters to be driven or arrogant or competitive, how early experiences can change how people act and view themselves and how those experiences alter the trajectory of their lives, are all MAJOR themes of MHA. I think you will really enjoy the series. Not only do we get the perspectives of the students, but we also get the perspectives of the teachers, administrators, and professionals of this world. I am SO interested to hear your thoughts on all of that, since it is all directly in your wheelhouse. SO much of this series deals directly with your own profession, too. It deals SO much with how we treat and educate children and how that reflects on society at large. I have friends who are teachers and considered the career path myself, so i took a few courses in college. And even with that very introductory knowledge of education, I had SO MANY thoughts watching MHA as an adult. In fact, one of my teacher friends is who introduced me to the series lol. She taught middle school and is now a school counselor. We've had several intense discussions about this series. Also, I'm dying for you to meet UA Principal Nezu lol
Bakugo cares about whether Midoriya gets into UA because of ego. He wanted to be famous as the only kid from their "crappy Middle School" that got into UA High.
Just so you know, the school year in Japan starts in April and ends in March. They get Summer break and other vacations, the school structure is just different. Also at the beginning of the episode they were in Aldera Middle School. That's in reference to the planet Alderaan from Star Wars. Keep your eyes open because there's many more Star Wars references in this show.
Without a quirk Medoria could be considered handicapped in this world. As for episodes pertaining to school, The next two don’t take place in an actual school, but could be considered showing the prep work some people will go through to get ready to apply to one, especially if like Medoria, you start with a disadvantage.
Baby Deku watching the video of All Might is so cute and wholesome. ☺️💕 Bakugo might seem like just an arrogant bully right now, but just wait and see. He's amazing and a fan favorite. There's so many awesome and inspiring heroes in this show.
They are in junior high and applying to different highschools. Basically people in this universe either want to be a Hero or get a normal job, and which high school you go to will heavily affect your career options.
5:16 basically a regular school. The superhero school that hasn't started yet. I think by following anime logics superhero school is a high school academy. Because a lot of things happen in high school in anime even if it's weird or supernatural.
All your questions are eventually answered in the show. It is SUPERBLY well-written. It's such a fully fleshed out world and concept. What it means to be quirkless in this society, what it means to be a Hero (notice the capital H...), the competitiveness of the Hero industry (and Quirk society), how this school system runs, etc, is all covered by Horikoshi (the creator of MHA). You mentioned how the teacher turns a blind eye to Midoriya's bullying - a glimpse into Quirk discrimination, a major plot point of the show. All these characters are also so complex and grow so much throughout the series. I would argue MHA is one of the best written shows/books of the last decade. Notice I didn't say anime or manga. Because I think it ranks as some of the best writing I've seen in any global form of media that I've consumed over the last few years. I would be super interested to get your perspective on this series, since you are an educator yourself, and since so much of this series takes place in a school setting. I would absolutely watch you react to this entire 1st season (if not the whole series), because I'm dying to know your thoughts!
Alot of Izuku and Bakugo's issues get addressed as the show goes on, it's not a spoiler to say that yes the adults around Bakugo during their childhood only fueled his ego. Which thankfully does'nt go unpunished, if you stick with the series you'll see great charachter developement for both of them.
It does go unpunished!!! No one does anything, even when they're not in Middle School anymore!!!! That's one thing I hate about this series, and Japan in general. They don't give a crap about bullying!
Tbh it addressed just very much in reality. The kid doesn’t get rewound in time and punished or lose his life. Yet it is addressed very much so and there is definitely “punishment” just not in a traditional way or karma or stuff like that etc.
So in Japan Junior High is actually the end of the 'required' schooling by law. It is up to the parents or student to make sure the student signs up for and tests into high schools. They also do 3 years of junior high and 3 for high school, so I can see how you'd get confused. If I had to compare it over here. High school is closer to community college and their colleges are more like trying to get into University, unless you are going to a vocational or trade school. However grades are heavily scrutinized when you apply, hence why I compare it to university in the US. This is mainly because they consider teens as young adults, much like we used to back in the day. They even allow high school students to have part-time jobs, so long as their school is informed and it doesn't affect their grades.
I’m really glad that you’re covering this series. It’s a long one, but worth it. There are some parts that focus more on the heroism than the school environment, and even then the school environment is focusing more on the hero classes than the core classes. But I would still recommend checking a lot of it out, and commenting on how the teachers are teaching, examining, and scoring the students. There’s also one big arc centered around an inter-school, athletic event, though I forget what it was called. And there is the ark centered around the school festival, which I highly recommend. There are also the internships and work study programs that the kids do as part of their hero training. If you need specific episodes, I would suggest presenting a pole to your viewers. Or, you could just watch the whole series in your spare time, and pick the episodes to focus on yourself. I don’t think you would be disappointed 😊
when you said you didn't liked One Piece, i searched on your channel... just to see... you just saw THE FIRST episode of One Piece!!?? No wonder you didn't liked it!! One Piece is a MASTERPIECE!! even haters ended up loving it once they saw sufficient arcs... the first important arc that makes the most of us fall in love is Arlong Park, around the episode 45 or around...
i hope you continue watching my hero academia, it tackles a lot of important themes and i would recommend you to just watch it episode by episode because it’s not something like spongebob that has a stand alone plot, you wouldn’t really understand what’s going on if you skip episodes
If I had to pick 1 episode to recommend it would be season 3, episode 11: "One for All" for sure; though it's not really school related. My Hero Academia is not an episodic show. You would almost have to watch it as a series if you don't want to miss everything and be confused. It's really good about explaining stuff otherwise though.
If you stick with the show, you'll get the basics of why Bakugou cares in s1 but if you want the whole story you gotta stick around until season six they get some wonderful character development throughout the story
14:31 to prevent copyright problems alot of well known things are changed just enough in mangas and animes so people know but aren't the same. A popular one is WcDonlds, usually only shown as "W" on food boxes and bags
one thing that mha does well is character development; interested to see your thoughts (especially on deku & bakugou) if you continue this series! both are such amazing and complex characters. thanks for the great video!
Everybody hates Chris s2 episode 13 called “everybody hates snow days” is a good episode for you to react to! It’s about the main character and hes stuck at his high school with the principal bc of a snow day! It’s on Hulu or even RUclips I think
Im here for this, man. You are the perfect person to react to this show. So much psychology and sociology to ponder within this story. Really does a tremendous job creating parallels between a fantasy world and reality. Btw, feel free to ignore my question but youre not one of those principals that wants to disassociate parental rights and oversight, as far as values and morals are concerned, in academia are you?
11:22 the main theories are 1) discrimination against quirks “well it’s not like he’s saying anything that isn’t true”, and 2) he just doesn’t care much for his job (he did throw those tests in the air)
Quirks aren’t really powers more like evolutionary traits. All their abilities are tied to their bodies and can fatigue like are muscles can. He was in middle school here. U.A. Is a high school but it’s also a hero course and anyone who wants to be a hero or build equipment for hero go to these schools. Bakugo envy’s Deku, they explain later in the series why and also give hints. But Bakugo bully’s him because of that. He feels as Deku looks down on him.
In this anime they go to a High School for heroes, they show us a lot of classes, and even the teachers and the principal. But the classes are mostly combat/hero stuff, so I don't think it's too similar to a real school haha
seeing school anything reacts to any anime is always cool on so many levels like hearing the perspective is fun but also when i was in school liking anime was frowned upon by every teacher .. once a history teacher took 10 minutes out of class to display on the smartboard a article he found on a niche website about how if you like any anime at all regardless of genre you were some future sexual deviant just because he was uncomfortable with so many kids watching it..again regardless of genre and anime has such a wide spectrum of content so its cool to see how the attitude around it is shifting
U.A. Entrance exam Is one part Written Exam, one part Practical Exam. Not going to spoil anything in case you watch the rest, but kids going for hero course have to be both intelligent and able to it their money where their mouth is in regard to their heroic inclination. Not a whole lot of them make it. Two classes of twenty students, and four of them get in on special recommendations.
You realized so fast that Bakugo has a huge ego. Yes, and this is a bit of a spoiler, in another four episodes that ego is going to be taken down several pegs. Bakugo is the case of the big fish in the small pond. Where he is, he's the best and everyone says so to him, boosting his ego as a result, by then he believes he's unbeatable, the top of the top, but once he gets out of his confort zone things don't go as he planned and he meets others that run laps around him.
Honestly, considering the entire show is basically school oriented, not that there arent any episode that arent centered in school, itd be hard to watch these with pick and choose episodes. Its just, obviously, not traditional school so the topics you would be knowledgable on will probably be difficult to interpret within this universe.
in japan HS only has 3 years, but this takes place in middle school. You should check out A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi) It deals with a girl who is bullied and it's an excellent movie to boot.
I would love to see you react to more of this series!!!! The high school that Deku goes to has some very unconventional teaching methods, and it has captivating social commentary. Also this show is simply amazing, and I'll always want to rewatch it with people 😊 I'm from the US and I also took a career choices personality test in 8th grade! Though as someone already mentioned in the comments, the school system in Japan is structured differently than here. Anyway, that test I took in 8th grade was completely useless. We spent the whole class period working on it, and at the end all it told me was that the field I should go in to was "people." That's so vague!!! 😭
The whole thing with the teacher and the career aptitude tests, strikes me as how the creators were trying to portray an ableist environment. Throughout the story, we learn that humans began to develop powers, kind of like the mutants in X-Men. Initially there was backlash and human rights abuses, then the proportion of the population began to change. By the time we meet Deku, 80% of the population has superpowers, and there are rules and regulations as to who can act as a hero and where you are able to use your powers. That said, heroes are glorified in this society, and to not have powers, sort of puts you at the bottom of the pecking order. Essentially oppression has been reversed. one of the central themes of the show ends up being how to function in an ableist environment.
Gotta watch the 2nd ep to get hooked, might take a bit more for you, this story is about Izuku and his class to become heroes in high school, so im sure you'd enjoy the rest of the story, most episodes have school stuff so i advice you watch it all
MHA is such a good show and I love the concept behind it. I feel like as someone in the teaching industry you might like it too as you watch more 👍 Side note: they mentioned in the beginning that 80% of the world’s population has an uncanny ability called a “quirk”.
Ah, it's wonderful to see someone with a unique perspective watching one of my favorite shows! It's unfortunately difficult to pick and choose only school scenes to do. It's a linear narrative, as opposed to each episode having a self-contained story like in Spongebob or some of the other shows you've reacted to. And there are obviously some cultural differences between the Japanese School System and the American one. I'd be quite interested to hear your thoughts on some of these differences! Here are some examples: 1) Structure of School Year - The school year in Japan starts in April and ends in March. This lines up with the Japanese fiscal year, leaving graduating students with an advantageous hiring landscape at the start of the new fiscal year. Also, the school year is divided into three terms- April to July, Summer Vacation, September to December, Winter Vacation, January to March, then Spring Vacation. 2) Required Schooling - The Japanese educational system goes as follows: 6 years of Elementary school, 3 years of Junior High, 3 years of High School, 4 years of University. Junior High the last of the compulsory schooling for Japanese students. Although not compulsory, the VAST majority of students go on to high school. I believe Public High Schools all have an entrance exam on the same day, but students are pretty much able to take as many Private High School exams as they want. After High School, roughly half the students continue on to University, while the rest either go to a vocational school or enter the workforce. 3) Homeroom - School begins with a Homeroom period, overseen by Homeroom Teacher. This teacher will be the homeroom teacher for the cohort of students for their three years of high school. Homeroom teachers act as counselor, administrator, and even semi-parental figure for the students. It's sort of like an advisory period in an American school. Additionally, this home classroom is virtually the only room the students will be in. Instead of students moving rooms, the teachers move from classroom to classroom between periods. Must be nice for the hallway traffic! 4) Class Representatives - Each homeroom elects two students to be their class representatives, also known as class president and vice-president. It's a bit of an exaggerated trope in Japanese TV, but it's a somewhat desirable position. For example, it might look good as a prior leadership role. These Representatives help settle classroom disputes, conduct classroom meetings, and coordinate between their class and the student council with regards to things like special school events. 5) School Events - The two biggest ones that come to mind are the Sports Day and Cultural Festival. Sports Day is similar to an American Field Day. Students compete in various games and activities and are cheered on by classmates and family. The Culture Festival is an annual event where each classroom or school club put together some sort of booth, attraction, performance, etc. There isn't a one-to-one American equivalent, but it's a big event almost like a county/state fair. There are some other differences but I'm afraid I've written too much lol! I hope you find this as interesting as I do!
😇 Hopefully when I'm done with my old RUclips channel I'll make a new one so I can do animation to make my career come true someday but some people like to bully me and but it never hold me back from animating and I'll make my dreams come true even life gets hard I will achieve my goal 😇
I'll be particularly interested in how you judge the teachers' teaching styles in the future. === All Might is an expy of both Captain America and Superman (the golden age version in particular).
Japanese schools are, generally, organized as 1 through 6, 7 through 9, and then a technically non-compulsory 10 through 12. I say technically because almost everyone enrolls in those levels, but there's no law making it mandatory. It also functions a lot closer to college in that you have to apply to schools, you may end up attending schools some distance from your home, and you are not guaranteed to be accepted into a school.
The basic backstory of the anime is this about 80% of the population in earth entirely has a quirk. It could be anything from something very silly like growing out your nails at a fast rate, being able to elongate your eyeballs or as you saw with the case of Katsuki Bakugo the ability to create explosions, which is just a byproduct of his quirk, which is he produces nitroglycerin like sweat from the palms of his hands. Try not to spoil any other characters that will pop up. They have very interesting abilities.
I think they start drilling students to think about their lives a lot earlier in Japan. There, high school isn’t required. However, there’s little you can do with only a junior high education. The whole system is also largely test based, so your future is largely determined by how well you do on exams.when compared to the American system, we obviously both have advantages and disadvantages.
12:50 a slight spoiler, but… . . . . . . . deep down Bakugo actually knows that Izuku has a lot of heroic traits that he lacks so he’s always felt the need to put him down to convince himself he’s better.
Also if I'm not wrong... Japanese schools are vastly ahead of Americans, so they treat middle schoolers how we'd treat high schoolers. junior highs in Japan have entrance exams or something to go to their high school of choice. They have colleges too, I believe. They're just more ahead of us because they learn things earlier.
@SchoolPrincipalReacts Yeah, most people don't realize that because it's only ever referred to as U.A. There have even been mistranslations that called it Yuei.
You know, I've been thinking about recommending this to you considering that this anime DOES involve a school setting...FOR HEROES!!!😃 There are hero courses at U.A. High that qualities for a reaction for this channel! However, without spoiling things, I will admit the later seasons won't involve much of school considering that things get...intense. Like, REALLY intense. I still recommend watching My Hero Academia whether you recorded your reactions to it or not! In the latter of which, this anime is about to end soon from what I've gathered.
@SchoolPrincipalReacts holy crap, school sensei noticed me! Oh, and that's awesome that you're continuing this Journey Of Heroes. Please look over Mr. Midoria in your school based reactions. Plus Ultra!!✌️😁👍
I'm glad you're doing this anime. But, if you want one of an example of the worst person possible, teaching people look up the anime persona 5. They have one teacher who's, well, really questionable at best. And one who's completely awful and sickening.
Hmmm this is my first time watching the english version. Seemed to be fine other than idk if this onenmoment was edited out by you as its a pretty raw and reckless thing to say, but during the exchange when bakugo is bullying deku after class lets out, bakugo tells deku there is one way he can become a hero with a quirk - by taking a dive off the school roof and coming back in the next life as something other than a loser.
I hope you watch more episodes, it gets crazy the more you watch them. What character do you like so far? I like Bakugo (he’s the one that has blonde hair & explosion powers 7:10)

One Piece is a MASTERPIECE!! even haters ended up loving it once they saw sufficient arcs... the first important arc that makes the most of us fall in love is Arlong Park, around the episode 45 or around...
Yeah - sorry, I just wasn’t wild about it. Enjoying MHA though.
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts I hope you could give another chance to OP ;)
i hope you continue watching my hero academia, it tackles a lot of important themes and i would recommend you to just watch it episode by episode because it’s not something like spongebob that has a stand alone plot, you wouldn’t really understand what’s going on if you skip episodes
Thanks
You should definitely watch more episodes! The next episode is even better!
Thanks
I like My Hero Academia, I hope you watch more episodes of this show
Cool thanks
I love this anime and id be very interested to see more reactions from you because your viewpoint is very interesting!
Thanks! I just filmed episode 2!
If I had to pick 1 episode to recommend it would be season 3, episode 11: "One for All" for sure; though it's not really school related. My Hero Academia is not an episodic show. You would almost have to watch it as a series if you don't want to miss everything and be confused. It's really good about explaining stuff otherwise though.
Thanks 😊
I honestly dont understand why alot of folks hate on MHA
from the looks of it, the show looks pretty cool
it is cool, though the later parts of the show are kind of messy (especially the ending). but overall, it's a great show imo
A big theme in the show from the start pretty much is nurture vs nature, and the effects that good, or bad guidance can have on the youth
I am happy with this episode, I can wait for the next episode, just go in order, your video help me alot then you think.
Thanks 😊
I really enjoyed your reaction. Hope you do more my hero academia reactions.
Thanks!
If you stick with the show, you'll get the basics of why Bakugou cares in s1 but if you want the whole story you gotta stick around until season six they get some wonderful character development throughout the story
Thanks
I like how spot on you are about somethings when it comes to the show!
Thanks 😊
14:31 to prevent copyright problems alot of well known things are changed just enough in mangas and animes so people know but aren't the same. A popular one is WcDonlds, usually only shown as "W" on food boxes and bags
one thing that mha does well is character development; interested to see your thoughts (especially on deku & bakugou) if you continue this series! both are such amazing and complex characters. thanks for the great video!
Everybody hates Chris s2 episode 13 called “everybody hates snow days” is a good episode for you to react to! It’s about the main character and hes stuck at his high school with the principal bc of a snow day! It’s on Hulu or even RUclips I think
Im here for this, man. You are the perfect person to react to this show. So much psychology and sociology to ponder within this story. Really does a tremendous job creating parallels between a fantasy world and reality.
Btw, feel free to ignore my question but youre not one of those principals that wants to disassociate parental rights and oversight, as far as values and morals are concerned, in academia are you?
Not at all
11:22 the main theories are 1) discrimination against quirks “well it’s not like he’s saying anything that isn’t true”, and 2) he just doesn’t care much for his job (he did throw those tests in the air)
Quirks aren’t really powers more like evolutionary traits. All their abilities are tied to their bodies and can fatigue like are muscles can.
He was in middle school here. U.A. Is a high school but it’s also a hero course and anyone who wants to be a hero or build equipment for hero go to these schools.
Bakugo envy’s Deku, they explain later in the series why and also give hints. But Bakugo bully’s him because of that. He feels as Deku looks down on him.
YOOO THIS SHOW IS AMAZING all about school please watch it in order to follow the story!
I will try! I recently filmed a reaction to episode 2.
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts so exciting!! Cant wait :D
In this anime they go to a High School for heroes, they show us a lot of classes, and even the teachers and the principal. But the classes are mostly combat/hero stuff, so I don't think it's too similar to a real school haha
The first 2 episodes are a great prelude to the series!
seeing school anything reacts to any anime is always cool on so many levels like hearing the perspective is fun but also when i was in school liking anime was frowned upon by every teacher .. once a history teacher took 10 minutes out of class to display on the smartboard a article he found on a niche website about how if you like any anime at all regardless of genre you were some future sexual deviant just because he was uncomfortable with so many kids watching it..again regardless of genre and anime has such a wide spectrum of content so its cool to see how the attitude around it is shifting
U.A. Entrance exam Is one part Written Exam, one part Practical Exam. Not going to spoil anything in case you watch the rest, but kids going for hero course have to be both intelligent and able to it their money where their mouth is in regard to their heroic inclination.
Not a whole lot of them make it. Two classes of twenty students, and four of them get in on special recommendations.
This was not expected, but very welcome.
Glad you enjoyed it.
You're asking all the right questions about Bakugou.
It's kind of a slow burn for stuff like that, though.
I would love to see you continue with the series. The staff is quite interesting
You realized so fast that Bakugo has a huge ego. Yes, and this is a bit of a spoiler, in another four episodes that ego is going to be taken down several pegs.
Bakugo is the case of the big fish in the small pond. Where he is, he's the best and everyone says so to him, boosting his ego as a result, by then he believes he's unbeatable, the top of the top, but once he gets out of his confort zone things don't go as he planned and he meets others that run laps around him.
I always ask this fun question to myself. “How would school work if kids have powers? Hopefully the stuff have something keep this under raps”
Honestly, considering the entire show is basically school oriented, not that there arent any episode that arent centered in school, itd be hard to watch these with pick and choose episodes. Its just, obviously, not traditional school so the topics you would be knowledgable on will probably be difficult to interpret within this universe.
in japan HS only has 3 years, but this takes place in middle school. You should check out A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi) It deals with a girl who is bullied and it's an excellent movie to boot.
I would love to see you react to more of this series!!!! The high school that Deku goes to has some very unconventional teaching methods, and it has captivating social commentary. Also this show is simply amazing, and I'll always want to rewatch it with people 😊
I'm from the US and I also took a career choices personality test in 8th grade! Though as someone already mentioned in the comments, the school system in Japan is structured differently than here. Anyway, that test I took in 8th grade was completely useless. We spent the whole class period working on it, and at the end all it told me was that the field I should go in to was "people." That's so vague!!! 😭
The whole thing with the teacher and the career aptitude tests, strikes me as how the creators were trying to portray an ableist environment. Throughout the story, we learn that humans began to develop powers, kind of like the mutants in X-Men. Initially there was backlash and human rights abuses, then the proportion of the population began to change. By the time we meet Deku, 80% of the population has superpowers, and there are rules and regulations as to who can act as a hero and where you are able to use your powers. That said, heroes are glorified in this society, and to not have powers, sort of puts you at the bottom of the pecking order. Essentially oppression has been reversed. one of the central themes of the show ends up being how to function in an ableist environment.
Gotta watch the 2nd ep to get hooked, might take a bit more for you, this story is about Izuku and his class to become heroes in high school, so im sure you'd enjoy the rest of the story, most episodes have school stuff so i advice you watch it all
I watched E2 but the copyright owner will not allow me to use the video so far.
MHA is such a good show and I love the concept behind it. I feel like as someone in the teaching industry you might like it too as you watch more 👍
Side note: they mentioned in the beginning that 80% of the world’s population has an uncanny ability called a “quirk”.
Ah ok thanks 😊
Ooooo, this is so interesting! :DDDD
I hope you react to episode two, that's where it starts to get even better!
I just watched it today! 😊👍
Bakugo in the first season never fails to make me hate ☺️☺️
Ah, it's wonderful to see someone with a unique perspective watching one of my favorite shows! It's unfortunately difficult to pick and choose only school scenes to do. It's a linear narrative, as opposed to each episode having a self-contained story like in Spongebob or some of the other shows you've reacted to. And there are obviously some cultural differences between the Japanese School System and the American one.
I'd be quite interested to hear your thoughts on some of these differences! Here are some examples:
1) Structure of School Year - The school year in Japan starts in April and ends in March. This lines up with the Japanese fiscal year, leaving graduating students with an advantageous hiring landscape at the start of the new fiscal year. Also, the school year is divided into three terms- April to July, Summer Vacation, September to December, Winter Vacation, January to March, then Spring Vacation.
2) Required Schooling - The Japanese educational system goes as follows: 6 years of Elementary school, 3 years of Junior High, 3 years of High School, 4 years of University. Junior High the last of the compulsory schooling for Japanese students. Although not compulsory, the VAST majority of students go on to high school. I believe Public High Schools all have an entrance exam on the same day, but students are pretty much able to take as many Private High School exams as they want. After High School, roughly half the students continue on to University, while the rest either go to a vocational school or enter the workforce.
3) Homeroom - School begins with a Homeroom period, overseen by Homeroom Teacher. This teacher will be the homeroom teacher for the cohort of students for their three years of high school. Homeroom teachers act as counselor, administrator, and even semi-parental figure for the students. It's sort of like an advisory period in an American school. Additionally, this home classroom is virtually the only room the students will be in. Instead of students moving rooms, the teachers move from classroom to classroom between periods. Must be nice for the hallway traffic!
4) Class Representatives - Each homeroom elects two students to be their class representatives, also known as class president and vice-president. It's a bit of an exaggerated trope in Japanese TV, but it's a somewhat desirable position. For example, it might look good as a prior leadership role. These Representatives help settle classroom disputes, conduct classroom meetings, and coordinate between their class and the student council with regards to things like special school events.
5) School Events - The two biggest ones that come to mind are the Sports Day and Cultural Festival. Sports Day is similar to an American Field Day. Students compete in various games and activities and are cheered on by classmates and family. The Culture Festival is an annual event where each classroom or school club put together some sort of booth, attraction, performance, etc. There isn't a one-to-one American equivalent, but it's a big event almost like a county/state fair.
There are some other differences but I'm afraid I've written too much lol! I hope you find this as interesting as I do!
Thanks for all the insight! 🇯🇵
🎉Congratulations🎉 to join on youtube like in jun 2023 plus i saw your videos and I'm a fan already so congratulations😊
Wow thanks so much for your continued support! 👍
😇 Hopefully when I'm done with my old RUclips channel I'll make a new one so I can do animation to make my career come true someday but some people like to bully me and but it never hold me back from animating and I'll make my dreams come true even life gets hard I will achieve my goal 😇
In Japan, the 3rd grade of middle school is like the first/second year of middle school
I'll be particularly interested in how you judge the teachers' teaching styles in the future.
===
All Might is an expy of both Captain America and Superman (the golden age version in particular).
Thanks I look forward to it.
Dekus life gets better like way better
Just make sure you watch the episodes in order. You can't go out of order like you do with the other shows. It will ruin the flow.
Bakugo calls Izuku Midorya (the green hair) “Deku” and i in Japan it means “wooden figure” or “puppet” but also “blockhead”, “fool”,
Japanese schools are, generally, organized as 1 through 6, 7 through 9, and then a technically non-compulsory 10 through 12.
I say technically because almost everyone enrolls in those levels, but there's no law making it mandatory. It also functions a lot closer to college in that you have to apply to schools, you may end up attending schools some distance from your home, and you are not guaranteed to be accepted into a school.
Great reaction!
Thanks!
The basic backstory of the anime is this about 80% of the population in earth entirely has a quirk. It could be anything from something very silly like growing out your nails at a fast rate, being able to elongate your eyeballs or as you saw with the case of Katsuki Bakugo the ability to create explosions, which is just a byproduct of his quirk, which is he produces nitroglycerin like sweat from the palms of his hands.
Try not to spoil any other characters that will pop up. They have very interesting abilities.
Thanks
You should definitely watch the next episode its a great watch
I think they start drilling students to think about their lives a lot earlier in Japan. There, high school isn’t required. However, there’s little you can do with only a junior high education. The whole system is also largely test based, so your future is largely determined by how well you do on exams.when compared to the American system, we obviously both have advantages and disadvantages.
12:50 a slight spoiler, but…

deep down Bakugo actually knows that Izuku has a lot of heroic traits that he lacks so he’s always felt the need to put him down to convince himself he’s better.
By the way Mikayla a lawyer who just happens to be playing a game about attorney.
Okay lol
Another anime that deals with a lot of school stuff is Mob Psycho 100
Also if I'm not wrong... Japanese schools are vastly ahead of Americans, so they treat middle schoolers how we'd treat high schoolers. junior highs in Japan have entrance exams or something to go to their high school of choice. They have colleges too, I believe. They're just more ahead of us because they learn things earlier.
In the English dub they call it U.A. High, but in the original Japanese it's just U.A. which stands for Ultra Academy. It is a high school, though.
Interesting!
@SchoolPrincipalReacts Yeah, most people don't realize that because it's only ever referred to as U.A. There have even been mistranslations that called it Yuei.
15:20, you asked the question and then edited out the answer that was in the literal next scene!!! lol >_
See the ones that are in UA class and the sports festival
That’s different. The preview was the ending😄
The exam is life or death
5:20 i wish we had that in Poland XD
🇵🇱 👍
more please! I'm interested to hear about your thoughts regarding Katsuki Bakugo (the blonde bully) in the next few episodes
I just watched E2! Coming soon!
Katsuki Bakugo act more like a villain than a hero to begin with.
Do my deer friend nokatan next, it has some school scenes
@@Taco3445.... i dont like any episodes passed 2 or 3
More episodes
Coming ! Unfortunately the copyright process is more difficult with these. Episode 2 reaction is already made but waiting for copyright resolution.
@@SchoolPrincipalReacts alright thx 👍
You know, I've been thinking about recommending this to you considering that this anime DOES involve a school setting...FOR HEROES!!!😃 There are hero courses at U.A. High that qualities for a reaction for this channel! However, without spoiling things, I will admit the later seasons won't involve much of school considering that things get...intense. Like, REALLY intense. I still recommend watching My Hero Academia whether you recorded your reactions to it or not! In the latter of which, this anime is about to end soon from what I've gathered.
I just finished filming my reaction to episode 2👍
@SchoolPrincipalReacts holy crap, school sensei noticed me! Oh, and that's awesome that you're continuing this Journey Of Heroes. Please look over Mr. Midoria in your school based reactions. Plus Ultra!!✌️😁👍
More My Hero Academia reactions please
Plus Ultra!
Just stick to it it really good watch all the episodes
😎👍
I'm glad you're doing this anime. But, if you want one of an example of the worst person possible, teaching people look up the anime persona 5. They have one teacher who's, well, really questionable at best. And one who's completely awful and sickening.
The only thing I never liked about MHA was the fan ships that being said I would like to see some bleach on this channel.
Hmmm this is my first time watching the english version. Seemed to be fine other than idk if this onenmoment was edited out by you as its a pretty raw and reckless thing to say, but during the exchange when bakugo is bullying deku after class lets out, bakugo tells deku there is one way he can become a hero with a quirk - by taking a dive off the school roof and coming back in the next life as something other than a loser.
I hope you watch more episodes, it gets crazy the more you watch them.
What character do you like so far? I like Bakugo (he’s the one that has blonde hair & explosion powers 7:10)
W video
Thanks! W Comment! 😎👍
