School Principal Reacts - Yu Yu Hakusho S1E3 - "A Promise Between Men" Reaction Video 

Yeah, this episode is one reason I write everything I'm allowed to in pen, just in case someone tries to tamper with my stuff.

wearing clip-on ties to avoid getting strangled ~ the things you learn by working with people 😂😢

Lol, this video reminds me of just how old I am getting. I keep thinking I'm still a teenager but, then I wake up and realize I'm in my 30's.

Kuwabara has some heightened senses which makes him semi-aware of spirits which makes Yusuke able to do some things to Kuwabara, but not everything. It is sort like a bond between friends even when one dies and he is able to listen to him. I absolutely love this series because it has good characterisation in this show, as it gives each characters their own development. In Japan, there are strict on sort of things, but I think in their school, there are some things they can do which would get teachers and principals fired. Especially with the firing in Japan is not exactly the same as the US. Of course you can get fired for many things like in Japan, but when it comes to places like schools as most schools in Japan are private, they rather avoid firing teachers because if parents and the school board hears about someone getting fired, the school values prestige and if there is a bad apple being fired, parents will likely remove their students to another school with their money. Reputation is everything. Likely the principals and teachers would chastise one bad teacher to fall in line, so they don't have to resort to firing. I am not a complete expert of Japanese hiring and firing system, but that is the best I can explain from learning about their culture

Man, Kuwabara is probably one of my favorite characters from YuYuHakusho. Shame that there aren't really any more episodes heavily focus on school life, especially after Yusuke technically becomes a Middle School drop-out later on. Would have been cool to react to more of it.

Zatch Bell would be an anime possibly worth looking into!

Although exaggerated, dealing with bullies, bad teachers/staff, under-the-table deals, it was all part of my school experience.......I grew up hating everyone 😅

Running away is more looked down upon and seen as cowardly in Japanese culture I think. It makes sense the guy would rather stand his ground and get beat up. It's sad though of course. No school should ever be like that. Makes for a great episode though. Is nice to see such friends protecting each other like this.

I think the the reason the principal didn' step in the moment the teachers erased kuwabara's answer was because he was probably giving them a chance to see if they were really going to give him a lower score than he was supposed to get or do the right thing and give kuwabara the actual score he deserved at least thats what i think happened here

Pokemon season 1 "The Ultimate Test" might be a fun anime episode to react to.

5:00 At my high school a lot of seniors had permission from the school and parents to work during the school day. It usually only happened if it was a financial necessity and if the student only needed a few credits left to graduate. Most of them were 18 anyways. Given the socioeconomics of the neighborhood was quite common for students to take the “early bird” classes in the first 3 years to get get ahead

Regarding your request for other anime set in school. Sailor Moon (1992), season 1 episode 5: "Computer School Blues" Or Sailor Moon Crystal (2014), season 1 episode 2: "Ami -Sailor Mercury-" takes place partly in school and partly in a tutoring centre, so there would be a lot of content there for you to react to. Sailor Moon Crystal is a remake of the original Sailor Moon, both episodes that I listed have mostly the same plot. I'm sure fans of Sailor Moon can list other episodes, that have a lot of scenes that are set in school, that you can react to.

Oh! There is another episode you can react to! Episode 6 - Yusuke (spoilers) returns to life and goes back to school in that episode!

Kuwabara is sensitive to ghosts, so its like the influence of his ghostly presence is greater than it would be for a normal person. Its so funny I almost feel like you should put a list of violations at the end of each reaction and grade them or something like that.

You would absolutely love "Assassination Classroom" Its both wholesome with extremely dark undertones. And very unique as far as school based anime go.

... Azumanga Daioh maybe? The entire anime takes place at a school.

Watching these episodes, even though it was before the main storylines, brings out a lot of memories for me personally.

I'm glad you enjoyed this episode. The only time I've ever heard of student exam grade tampering was in college. Aside from that, report card grade tampering was fairly common among the kids I went to school with. This was of course during the mid 90s in which certain schools issued report card grades written in pencil and handed it out via scanned fill-in sheets. To the best of my knowledge, certain times teachers would find out about the student report card grade tampering was during parent-teacher conferences regarding a student's poor academic performance in class in which the student's parent would bring up the topic of their child's report card to the teacher which eventually leads to the truth coming out about the falsified grade report done by the student. These circumstances were quite embarrassing for the parent.

I love this sort of reactions with a professional twist. I know this isn't the type of media you check, but there's this game called 'Lost Judgment' It's a sequel to a game in an adult action adventure game where you play as a detective trying to solve a big often times grizzly cases. Lost Judgment has a part that takes place in a high school setting and the matter of bullying is very tied into the main mystery. Near the start of the game, the main character and his crew are hired to uncover a bullying problem by the school's principal and later joins the faculty as a consultant for various after school clubs. Probably not a playthrough but just watching some of the cutscenes and give an input.

I went to school in Virginia and we had to have permission from our school to get a part time job during the school year.

This is scary on how accurate it is to real life that they blame the victim for using self defense and not the actual abuser of the situation, trust me I know from experience

This is weird school where you can essentially do whatever as long as you dont punch anyone... Apparently

This episode reminded me of a small scandal that happened at my school. The Top 10 placements were switched around. The student who was intended to be number 10 was suddenly dropped down to number 11, replaced by the student who was the son of the attendance keeper. Plus, number 1 and number 2 were swapped. These swapped places were held during the graduation ceremony, along with yearbook photos and a Top 10 banquet. We know they were swapped because when everyone got their final grades after graduating, everyone was back to where they were. And nothing in their grades would suggest the placements shifting like they did. A lot of staff from that school also left after that year. Not necessarily changing grades, but falsely reporting them

You could react to the episode where Yusake comes back to life and goes. Back to school... You'll probably only react to half of it since only half is at the school. But it gets pretty ridiculous and it is legitimately school related. There's also a no violence episode where a fellow student has the power to forbid violence and they have to outwit him this is at another students home but is pretty late on the series. You could react to these episodes if you want. There's at least one or two more school episodes. Or school ish episodes if your interested I could look up the exact episode numbers..

There were a few times, in middle school, where answers I know wrote down were erased when I got the test back. Whenever that happened, I would talk to the teacher about it, and they would give me the points

We need more Yu Yu reactions 😎

I remember the first 3 episodes and yea that teacher was a total jackass

You have to be the most funniest/funnest principal! Question: Do you react in your office? Lol

I agree the Principle shouldn't have grabbed him and probably would have been suspended or worse. However, I don't think the teacher would want to go through the proper channels seeing as he falsified test results. Not as bad, but I can see a world where that wouldn't be good either lol

Lol Everyone manhandling each other at this school.

Just imagine that one day your scrolling through youtube and you find your principals youtube channel

In Japan, students often are prohibited from having jobs by their school. It's apparently somewhat common in anime, as it makes for a common drama in this way. Yugioh has a similar scene which was edited for the dub to the job requiring employees be 18. I think the principal waits until he does mostly for drama, even within the story; Hoping to scare the teacher into compliance after he thinks he is getting away with it, rather than stopping him in the moment.

I remember in Yu-Gi-Oh when Téa/Anzu was working in a fast food restaurant and in the original series (season 0 and season 1), it was stated that the high school (Domino High School) wouldn't allow students to have after-school jobs without special permission (Japanese version) while the English version says those under 18 weren't allowed to work there.

Gem of an anime

Great commentary and reaction. You know, as a 33 year old... I watch your videos because I find it interesting to get the perspective of media topics from real life professionals in similar fields as the topic of the media. Sometimes though I learn more then I figured I would, such as you talking about the legalities of work programs for underage kids. One thing I wonder though is wouldn't eligibility in those programs be attached to some sort of grade average? IDK but that would make some sense to me. Maybe that's what the schools approval was all about in the show anyway.

You should finish the rest of episode 1 it gets better with more scenes of the teachers.

Your almost at 5k subscribers goodluck

And react to the ending songs too

I enjoyed what these educational reactions to the animated episodes. Can you cover Horrid Henry with number of episodes set in school?

Love this! Re: The working the student does and why the school could impact that. In Japan schools are given a far broader reach over what students do, especially since a lot of them work more like how private schools work in the united states, enrollment is highly conditional and even their enrollment is seen as association since the schools at the middle and high level do not have to take students. This means a great number of them, for one reason or another, only allow students to work after school jobs as an exception, and often you can't see them going to places in their uniforms after school that aren't school or home, they're expected to change clothes first.

Netflix has a live action adaption of Yu Yu Hakusho. I don't know if it's any good but it would be interesting to see you compare and contrast with the two episodes you have reacted to.

4:20 this is another example where yea they didn’t fight AT school, but they must still be held responsible because they are students of the school and they make the school look bad, and same with the job, he must uphold himself to the standards, values and morals of his school to keep the privilege to work, and in general Japanese life as u will continue to see in anime in the future, every day when you get out of the bed, you do the same for your family name, your profession, your Alma mater/your class at school, and your own values as an independent thinking individual And you see that in spades with kuwabara’s behavior in this episode

12:04 I’d also try to find the guys who attacked him and get them arrested for assault.

I Have A Reaction Suggestion: This Episode Is From The Show "Big Time Rush" And The Episode's Name Is, Big Time School Of Rocque. As A Principal, I Think You'd Like That Episode!

Sadly this happened to me in 9th grade my English teacher erased some of my answers so I’d fail, but happily they caught him on video doing it so they corrected my grade, I later learned that he did that to me because my sister used to bully his daughter when they were in high school. If you want a great anime about school I’d check out assassination classroom it’s really funny and has a deep plot almost all about school.

I can respect principal takanamwa he doesn't let the bad teachers get away with what they do such as the false grading or removing test answers sure he may show a little tuff love he is better the amila from the misfit of demon king academy or everyone is actually. Granted she did get a redemption arch but as a teacher or as person in my book she might need to do a bit more to get away with what she did but at least she is on the right track. That aside another good teacher in anime would be koru sensei from assassination classroom.

Did you miss s1e2? There was a moment at Yusuke’s wake with the principal that I kind of wanted to see a principal react to.

This is truly an awful teacher in this show. If this was real life, they would have been fired so fast. There's no way any of this shady stuff would be remotely allowed.

Your channel is very interesting. Thank you for the fun video. This is 3 months late but I just ran across this video and thought you might like a little insight in case you check out more anime. Japanese schools have different rules, cultural norms, and fundamental rules than American schools, even American schools operated Within Japan. That being the case, Japanese culture is very much founded on the idea that the school plays a large part in the students' lives, even during after school hours. Therefore, the idea of "The nail that sticks up is the one which draws the hammer" illuninates how The Japanese resist individualism. They strive for sameness and the schools exemplify this attitude. For example: - Students are generally required to wear uniforms and there are typically strict rules about appearance. This includes hair length and style, type of jewelry that can be worn, and other changes a student may want. There is an anime series called "The 12 Kingdoms" with a female protagonist with naturally red hair. Throughout her time in school, she and her parents are pressured to dye her hair to a more traditional color despite knowing it's her true hair color - Students aren't only responsible for keeping themselves and their school neat and clean. They are also required to keep up their grades and have at least one club they participate in. Wearing street clothes or subpar uniforms are a no no because it's considered disrespectful. - Saving face" is important in Japanese culture because pride of country, culture, and people is a useful path to respect, peace, and unity. This includes showing the proper deference and respect, which is why several of yuteachers have a dislike for YuYu Hakusho. He doesn't listen well, talks back, and refuses to wear the proper uniform. Also, if something goes wrong, scapegoating often occurs. This is seen in the first few episodes of "Naruto" as well as a story arc in the middle of "Bamboo Blade". In Naruto, the main character's behavior causes his teachers, classmates, and many people in his village to dislike him and put him down. In "Bamboo Blade", the students on the school's kendo team are forced to request the captain of the team to resign wjen two previous members get into a fight off campus in a video gaming room. - And Japan has different rules about school and working. Many schools forbid students to work. They believe it's an unnecessary distraction. On the other hand, Japanese education doesn't require that students to stay in school beyond middle school -- which I believe is still in place. This is clear in the way Yusuuke's mother told him to either stay in school or get a job.. Students can also go to any school within a certain distance from their house instead of attending the local in their immediate area. In "Ace of Diamond", two students attend a specific school in order to play baseball. In another anime, "Food Wars", the main character has spent several years helping his father run the family restaurant. The MC becomes highly skilled in cooking, so he ends up going to a specialty school that focuses on the culinary arts, where the anime takes place after the first couple episodes. Again, it's been a while since I studied this topic, so things could changed. so. There are plenty of videos showing both American and Japanese students talking about their experiences in school. The American students talking about their Day At School will also be of Great interest for you. If you would like to have a few suggestions, I'd be glad to do that for you

You should just React to the entire series its great worth the watch keep up the good work.

these characters are all hands on learners/teachers. Apparently though, in Japan, this amount of physical contact and the way it is treated is somewhat accurate, especially per the 90s. Physical fighting was not treated as being that serious and I do recall hearing things like that when attending international college.

Must watch Great Teacher Onizuka anime

You think it can't get any worse from the teachers, but you got to see the first half of episode 6. Something pretty gross happens. But atleast the principal for all his roughness his heart is in the right place and wants to see the best in people. But he shouldn't be putting his hands on people like he does lol.

You could also react to death note which should have at least three school episodes.

React to anime movie "silent voice"

There is one anime you definitely should watch "Assassination Classroom". The whole series is school related.

dude thinks this is crazy but has never seen Great teacher onizuka

It's strange. As a mostly A and somewhat B student, I never gave the Principal much thought. Sure, I've seen them around, but I never really interacted with them. If anything, I had more interaction with the Vice Principal and lower. That's not to say, I thought less of the Principal, but I just felt they were so detached from everything. Granted, word of the superintendent felt like the auditor of the school. Word about them, and it felt like giving them a remotely bad look would get you in trouble. All the same, I never really had much interaction with school administration. Maybe because I earned decent grades and exhibited decent behavior? Regardless, I have to wonder how much interaction any student should have. Not to say that I missed out, but I am curious, haha.

Wait...teachers making deals with students isn't right???? Oh God my whole school life was really wrong. we all hated that kind of stuff but it was supposedly the only way to get the "trouble makers" to behave. They got special privileges by just following the rules but the good students didn't get anything by being good.

Where is episode 2 😅

Where's ep 2? Also, the opening theme is even better in Japanese, at least the instrumental.

How about a reaction about assassination clasroom

Would you be willing to react to some school lip sync videos by chance?

Ouran High School Host Club. 💜💜💜 The entire show takes place in a posh school for *very* wealthy kids. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - talk about dark shows; the main character is a teacher and most of the show takes place in his classroom. He's suicidal. Both of these are very short series'.
