My Hero Academia vs Assassination Classroom: Becoming Teachers

Now I recently saw a post going on about how people dislike Deku becoming a teacher in chapter 430. And another user chalked it up to Westerners' disrespect for teachers vs Japan's great revere for them, plus shipping discourse

And while I feel that those definitely don't help, I do feel that that isn't the balk of why a lot of us hate it. It also reads as one of those elitist takes in fandom where they are talking down to those who don't agree with them

Now I'm a Westerner, and I hate Deku becoming a teacher. It's not because I don't respect teachers, and when it happened in Assassination Classroom I was all for Nagisa Shiota becoming a teacher. I would have preferred to see him and/ or Karma become assassins but I was still satisfied with how it ended. So why is that? Especially because we know Hori was a fan of Assassination Classroom, prototype Bakugou was based on Karma for crying out loud.

Achieved vs Happenstance

A big part of it is framing, everyone in 1A, 1B, and basically everyone else explicitly want to be heroes, or at least something adjacent to it. That's why they are in the hero course, and Izuku Midoriya especially has a one-track mind for heroes until the surprise reveal. He was constantly told no, pick something else, for a decade but was still hyper-focused on being a hero leading up to the show. Nor do we see or otherwise learn that he has other developing interests. There's a ton of fanfics and headcanons of him helping his classmates with school work or even just their quirks, but there's nothing in canon. The only character who does anything like that is Momo Yaoyorozu. The vast majority of 1A and once again especially Izuku Midoriya are only interested in being heroes. Izuku is also the only one who didn't become a hero (until years later) despite the need for them totally going down and them being paid per arrest.

Meanwhile, no one in 3E the end class, chose to be an assassin, Kuro Sensei just decided that he was going to teach that class, and the world needed him dead. A lot of students explicitly have other interests and none of them have a personal interest in being an assassin past killing Kuro Sensei. Yes, Nagisa Shiota is shown throughout to be surprisingly good at assassination work, and he is explicitly given an offer to join the world as an assassin. But when he gets the offer he asks himself do I really want to do this. We also learn via the little girl who suggests the career to him in the first place, that he has been tutoring her. We also get to see how he takes the uniqueness and skills from 3E into his teaching job.

So in short the premise of Assassination Classroom is much better suited to have it's characters enter very different fields to begin with.

Better Focus on Academics

Yes, My Hero Academia takes place largely in a school, but they don't put any focus on the school part. Whenever they're doing something in class it's either big combat test or self-directed training. And in the later seasons, more and more time got taken up by the big-name pro-hero fights. The two teachers we see the most of, both have bad teacher tags on Ao3 and I have seen numerous takedowns of their teaching skills accurately citing the series.

Assassination Classroom however has school and studying as a constant theme throughout the series. We see 1E being taught both standard school stuff, and learning various assassination techniques to achieve their goal. Kuro Sensei also makes it very clear that if they are just going to bank their futures on killing him and winning the money, then he sees no point in staying around for them to do it.

Getting it Regardless vs Earning Respect

One ongoing issue I have with MHA is that I largely got into the series because I thought that it was going to criticize societal issues. Instead, it ended up doing a 180. Now this mostly applies to the pro-hero worship, largely because once again there is barely any time dedicated to the actual academic part of the show. But with both the teachers and pro heroes their failures and shit behaviours aren't treated as reasons to lose respect, making any respect for them empty. This also leans into the very real issue of roles that come with unconditional respect, will attract people who will abuse it.

Meanwhile, 3E came into the show without this innate revere for teachers, because their past teachers especially in their school have actively screwed them over at every turn. Karma is even elated at the idea of killing a teacher after his last one betrayed him. Nagisa Shiota was being very blatantly abused at home, and Kuro Sensei is the first teacher to stand up for him. The teachers of 3E have to earn the students' trust and respect. When Bitch Sensei treats them like shit when she first joins, the students return the favour, she has to apologize for her poor behaviour for the class to give her a second chance. So when it ends with the students having a deep connection to their teachers and a renewed appreciation for school it's because that respect was fucking earned. Also, the principal who created this system set up 3E to be abused and sabotaged them every chance he got, got fired for his shit leadership aka actions have consequences. They also didn't feel the need to excuse the bullies shit behaviour either

So in one setting, we have authority figures constantly being shit but being revered anyway. And the other, where the respect has been lost and needs to be earned back, thus the respect they get has a much stronger foundation.

Side notes

Deku sucks at explaining, I've said it both on my main and AU blog, but Deku is horrible at explaining. One of the main aspects of teaching, and he sucks at it because he overcomplicates and goes off on tangents, plus mumbling. If it was just his thought process, it would be a mildly annoying but harmless habit, but he does it when talking to people

Also, Assassination Classroom has a way less bloated cast, allowing us to actually get closer to the characters.

Hey, wanna know something kinda sad I realized? Every relationship Endeavor has is based around utility.

I mean of course there’s his family: He only married his wife for her to give him his perfect heir, and up until the present he only ever showed affection to the one most capable of being that heir; emotionally neglecting the rest completely, as we can tell from Touya’s treatment and Natsuo’s recounting of his own childhood. And even now, with his “redemption arc”, it feels like with his realizing his rank won’t satisfy him and the things he did to get it not worth it, that he’s only trying to make up for things for a new purpose; convincing himself he’s a good person who loves his family. (Especially given how much he mopes about his family not liking him.) Not once has it felt, to me anyway, like he’s done something for any of them that wasn’t self-motivated; with his kindest actions being the ones that were only partially self-motivated.

And now, he’s on the opposite side of that with the rest of the family; where it seems they only really interact with him for what he can do for them or their other family members. From the start, Shoto’s only ever professionally worked with him for what such a high ranking hero could do for his own career, and seemed to only really be open to giving him a chance because Rei and Fuyumi seemed open. But they were only really open for his and each other’s sake; which is also why Natsuo humours the idea at all, he was just more open about that fact. And now with recent events; they have put genuine trust in him, but only for Touya’s sake. To his family, who have each only every (at best) been a means to an end for him, he is only ever (at best) a means to an end for them.

And of course this is true for his professional life too, the core of his being for so many years of his life. Of course he has no friends in that professional life; just employees and coworkers who work for/with him out of mutual convenience. And of course, even his long obsessed-over rank is based more on how useful he is to the public than anything else (numerous sources have shown he hardly owns much of it to plain popularity, though even what popularity he does have serves a purpose now). Heck a lot of fans, many of his own defenders even, have theorized that he owes his utility to not being in jail after Dabi revealed all his crimes. The No. 1 hero is too useful in these trying times for the other heroes to arrest him; justice be damned.

And meanwhile everyone who doesn’t have use for him, be they villains actively fighting him or civilians deciding they just don’t need heroes, well they all seem to hate him. In fact I find it interesting that Dabi, the only other Todoroki more concerned with his own feelings and well being than any of his family members, is the only character in the series intentionally trying to hold him accountable for all the things he did.

The man has no one he genuinely unconditionally loves or that unconditionally loves him. Everyone he interacts with, their relationship is directly proportional to how useful they are to him and/or how useful he is to them.

What a sad existence, if one very fitting for his character.

yeah atp I'm just using sharktown usa as a vehicle for Everyone Lives No One Dies Nothing Bad Happens, don't @ me

anyway. inosuke is shark-douma's favorite little gremlin who frequently jumps into his tank to say hello to him. both of them are convinced that douma is inosuke's biological dad. He Is Not. douma still Dads him.

sharkuji and sharkaza are twinsies, obv, and sharkaza wingmanned for his brother who somehow had his and koyuki-shark's entire lives planned out but still had yet to like. talk to her. without turning into a blithering idiot. they're married now.

Bakugou stans who hate Endeavor and Endeavor stans who hate Bakugou make me laugh.

Because when you get down to it, they both benefit from the same things: in-universe privilege, narrative advantages, and plot manipulation. Their arcs enable each other in a way, they're both abusers being given more exposure and grace than their victims. They're both constantly being propped and accepted by the other characters despite being horrible people.

Criticizing one and not the other is obtuse. They're cut from the same exact cloth, the issues with their characters are nearly identical. And the focus of both their characters contribute to the overarching problem of MHA; not only pandering to abusers but pandering to those born privileged and who knowingly abused that privilege. And neither had to face actual repercussions without being protected by the author.

The only difference between them is in the literal sense; Endeavor is a worse person morally while Bakugou is a worse character narratively.

They both still suck ass

If I see one more person ship tanjiro with an adult I am going to go violent and feral.

he is a child stop shipping him with literal ADULTS.

Doesn’t matter if you “aged” him up ( which is disgusting just to then ship him with an adult ) , he is still A FUCKING CHILD TF.
