My Hero Academia elegantly fuses the superhero anime genre with the high school genre, especially during scenes that take place in the prestigious U.A. school for trainee heroes. The series’ main characters are all students at this school, such as Izuku Midoriya and his rival Katsuki Bakugo, but plenty of major characters are staff there, too.
The U.A. school is home to a handful of costumed pro heroes who are ready to teach everything they know to their hero-in-training students, especially in the elite Class 1-A and its rival, Class 1-B. There’s a lot to like about teaching at U.A., such as professional perks or even personal gratification. It must be a dream come true to work at U.A.
9 The School Is Well-Protected
The invincible All Might could protect U.A. single-handedly if he’s fighting at his prime, but even without him, the school is well-protected from villains and criminals. This is no doubt very comforting to the students and staff. Even the teachers need some protection at times.
U.A. can keep villains at bay with its thick walls, and the school can rely on the police to show up and help shore up its defenses if needed. Most of all, the teachers, as pro heroes, can serve as a protective squad to shield each other and the students from harm.
8 It Must Be A Source Of Pride
On a more personal note, some U.A. teachers must take great pride in their position as an instructor at Japan’s #1 heroics school. Some teachers are quite humble and probably don’t care much about this, but others must be mentally cheering for themselves.
No one could blame a teacher for taking pride in their position at this school since it’s an elite school with a well-earned reputation. The same must be true for teachers at its rival school, Shiketsu, which shows its pride with crisp uniforms, including hats that must always be worn, even during the provisional hero license exam.
7 Teaching At U.A. Might Enhance A Hero’s Image & Fame
Little of this is explored in the series, but it appears that teachers enjoy increased fame and attention in the media by having a position at U.A. Heroes need more than sheer firepower to succeed — they must also present an appealing image to the public and sell their own brand.
Pro heroes can boost their image and fame in many ways, and teaching at U.A. is a great way to make headlines or at least stay in the public conversation. Some heroes rely greatly on their reputation to succeed, and teaching at U.A. is a fine way to boost their prestige in the public’s eyes. It must look good on a resume, too.
6 U.A. Teachers Have Good Leadership In Principal Nezu
The teachers at U.A. can make smart battlefield decisions while fighting villains, but sometimes, they need an overall leader who can plan far ahead and prepare for any dire situation. Fortunately, every U.A. teacher can look up to their animal boss, Principal Nezu.
Nezu has a high-IQ Quirk that makes him smarter than any of the teachers who report to him, and it must be very comforting to know that no matter what happens, Nezu will take charge and formulate a plan to resolve the situation. Even All Might and Eraserhead look to him for guidance, and they’ll always get it.
5 U.A. Seems Well-Funded
It’s not clear exactly what kind of budget U.A. has, and the story of My Hero Academia doesn’t exactly have time for tedious details like that. While it’s unknown how much money U.A. gets from public funding or private donors, it’s clear that the amount is quite generous.
U.A.’s campus is large, modern, and well-equipped down to the last brick, and the school easily set up dorm for all of its students, along with security measures to protect everyone. This must be costly, but U.A. has the cash for it, and the teachers can take advantage of the school’s ample resources and luxurious campus.
4 U.A. Needs Teachers For Many Different Subjects
Prospective teachers looking for work can take comfort knowing that the U.A. school needs staff who can teach many different subjects. No matter what subject a job seeker is prepared to teach, they can find a place at U.A., and My Hero Academia makes that very clear.
The R-rated hero Midnight, for example, is an art teacher, and U.A. has a place for her. Ectoplasm is a math teacher, and All Might is a dedicated heroics teacher. This kind of diversity is beneficial to not only the students but also the staff.
3 Teachers Can Wear Whatever They Like
Some schools like Shiketsu have fairly strict dress codes for students and teachers alike. U.A. students are required to wear uniforms in class and separate P.E. uniforms during physical training, but the teachers have far more leeway in what they wear.
Each and every last U.A. teacher can wear their hero costume if they wish, and they usually do. Still, these teachers may also dress up in suits or other formal attire if they like, and All Might was often seen wearing business suits as well as his hero costume. Midnight changed into her own business outfit when taking part in a jewelry store robbery scenario, which she clearly enjoyed.
2 U.A. Teachers Can Take Pride In Their Students’ Progress
The teachers at U.A. can take great pride in themselves, having landed a job at the nation’s best hero school. But a real hero fights for the sake of others, not themselves, and U.A.’s teachers must take great pride in how far their students have come.
Even the grouchy and aloof Eraserhead takes great pride in his class, and he puts his faith in them during the provisional license exam. His 1-B counterpart, Vlad King, is immensely proud of his own students, and similarly, Ms. Joke is quite proud of her students at the Ketsubutsu school.
1 Teachers Can Have Fun With Extra Roles
For the most part, U.A.’s teachers are expected to teach their assigned subjects, but they can also train with the students and see how far they have come. Teachers such as Midnight clearly enjoy their bonus role as a sparring partner for these students in the teacher-vs-student battles.
On top of that, U.A.’s teachers can volunteer to serve as announcers and hosts for other events, such as the U.A. Sports Festival. Midnight had a lot of fun with that role, and the DJ hero Present Mic backed her up by commenting on the single-elimination tournament.
