We explore the curious absence of actual teachers in anime school settings and discuss what makes a genuine teacher versus just a "sensei" character.

• Karl shares his vampire blood test conspiracy theory after a mix-up at the clinic(yes he is dying).
• Richard recounts his wild gala experience where he surprised former classmates with unexpected dance moves
• We analyze why so many anime series set in schools completely lack faculty supervision
• Popular anime like "The Irregular at Magic Academy" feature student-led responses to terrorism with no adult intervention
• We critique ranking lists that conflate "sensei" characters with actual classroom teachers
• Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom represents the gold standard for anime teachers
• Many series like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen quickly abandon their school settings
• The problem with turning every protagonist's background into something special rather than letting them be ordinary
• Our picks for which characters would make excellent teachers in series lacking faculty
