Classroom of the Elite Episode 1 English Dub | What is evil? Whatever springs from weakness

[Music] so [Music] if i may i'd like to pose an interesting question are all human beings truly equal these days everywhere you go there's talk about the fight for equality as a wise man once said heaven does not create one person above or below another people like to throw his words around that's not the whole quote he goes on to say that while we are all equal at birth pretty soon things begin to change academic effort is what sets some people apart to rise above the others at any rate humans change over time based on

their actions truth be told at the end of the day equality is just a fantasy and most of us go through life denying the fact that we live in a meritocracy um excuse me sir would you be willing to give up your seat um that is priority seating after all so it would only be right for you to let this older woman sit there my my you're a pretty girl i understand that this is priority seating honey but there's no law forcing me to give it up you think i should have to stand up just

because i'm still young what a bunch of ageist nonsense sure i'm younger than her but standing uses way more energy than sitting tell me why must i sacrifice my health for this lady's sake because you'd be contributing to the greater good of humanity and just take a look at her she's having trouble staying upright i have zero interest in contributing to the greater good and anyway there are plenty of other jerks on this bus who could give up their seats furthermore i don't see much difference between a priority seat and a regular one so ask

someone else to be a hero to tell the truth dear i don't mind standing don't worry but thank you all the same excuse me would anyone on this bus be willing to give up their seats this sweet lady over here i'll stand thank you very much ma'am [Music] [Music] well this is it my new school tokyo metropolitan advanced nurturing high school established by the government to raise students who have been deemed our country's future leaders movers and shakers if you will and it works too it boasts 100 college entry and employment rates using experimental state-derived

teaching methods they pull out all the stops to build a bright future for japan hey you i noticed you staring at me on the bus earlier why was that oh i'm sorry i was just curious because well you didn't want to give up your seat either i was wondering if like me you'd rather stay out of it i'm nothing like you in my case i stayed silent as a matter of principle uh-huh that makes her worse than me if that's all goodbye and now a few words from our student council president thank you for the

introduction newcomers as a representative of the upperclassmen and your student council president i extend a warm welcome to you all as i am sure you're aware our school is known for its prestige and distinction on all fronts and boasts impeccable employment and college entry rates across the board we take pride in this in fact it's our school's number one priority and we all work together to uphold the standard of excellence now you are a part of that too we expect greatness from all of you and we know you okay we're even in the same class

success here hinges entirely on merit so you alone control your path wow me too so what's your favorite genre romance i bet huh romance is my favorite how could you have known seriously is definitely mine my favorite genre is definitely mystery mystery it keeps me on the edge of my seat right here she has the seat next to me an annoying coincidence that feeling's mutual hey guys listen up for a sec we should go around the room and introduce ourselves start to get familiar with each other i'd like to get to know you guys plus

the teacher isn't here yet so we might as well does that sound okay hi then yeah that sounds like fun i agree i mean how else are we all going to get acquainted i'm glad to hear it well i guess i'll go first then i'm yosuke hirata but you can just call me yosuke if you want i play every sport imaginable and i'm gonna try out for the school soccer team for sure thanks nice to meet you all that was great i bet that guy's going to be the leader in class okay i guess i'll

go next hi my name is to become friends with every person in the entire school that obviously includes everyone here so if you're going out please consider inviting me she'll have no trouble reaching that goal she's got that everyone's friend vibe going on what you might call a ladies man but i shouldn't be focused on her at a time like this these introductions are going to determine everyone's standing in class should i try to crack a joke i bet anyway it's not like i have any real interests or hobbies to speak of kind of like

a free agent a blank slate next up how about you uh who me now getting out of this one i'd better muster up the energy to stand up and say something for the sake of my reputation uh so um i'm kia taka aya nakoji uh i can't wait to study with you [Music] uh i'm not really good at anything in particular uh i'll do my best to get along with you all i blew it i and okojie well it's nice to meet you i can't wait to be friends she just laughed at me okay who's

next introductions are for grade schoolers what are we a bunch of babies get to know each other on your own time let's get started find your seats everyone i'm sai chabashira the homeroom teacher for class 1d at this school you will not change classes ever for the next three years i'll be responsible for you until graduation for our first order of business the school rule book take one and pass them back we have some rather unique rules at this institution first you must all live in the dorms your contact with the outside world will be

restricted as will your time away from the campus for anyone concerned the school offers a wide variety of facilities anything you could need or want can be found here including leisure and entertainment to make purchases you will spend your points which are tracked using the school's main computer system at this school you can buy absolutely anything on campus with these points are distributed to you on the first of each month each point is worth one yen if you'll all check your devices you'll notice that you've already been allotted one hundred thousand we what are you

kidding me i see you're all surprised by the size of your allotment this school judges its students based on their merit alone you've all shown immense value just getting into this school we've allotted you what we think you are worth thank you very much come again it really does work exactly like money 25 students per class and 4 classes per grade that makes 300 of us in all if each kid gets 100 000 a month that's 360 million per year how can the government afford to pay for all this another annoying coincidence it seems you

don't have to be so prickly well since we have to sit by each other we should attempt to get along what's your name really you won't even share with me that much so you got a problem with that no but it would make things weird for the next three years to sit next to you i'd never know your name it's suzune horikita borikita like the guy you spoke earlier why are you buying all cheap stuff you've got lots of money you could stand to buy more expenses i told you i don't need that stuff right

you're weird you aren't very good at interacting with people no conversation skills yeah i know but you don't seem to be much better than i am that's true but i'm not the one who said they were going to work hard to get along with everyone else these are free maybe that's for people who use up all their points before the first of the month i guess how could one use up a hundred thousand points the school is too and don't think you're better than me maybe you are in class 1d aren't you yeah what the

hell does it matter to you guys hey now that's no way to talk to your elders you better learn some respect and fast shut up huh wait isn't that guy in our class maybe but i won't get involved it's beneath my dignity we'll let it slide this time class d has already got it bad if we knocked you down a peg you'd fall right off don't you run away from me go ahead scream your head off if you want you people are already in for a world of pain a world of pain those damn whips

[Music] not long after that the glass began to split up into clicks together today i'm sorry i can't i've got too much this beauty was a mere 80 000 points we get a hundred thousand more soon so it was a steal yeah i've got tons of games this is awesome an adorable pair stop by of earrings let's shop for clubs too unlike everyone else i failed to make any friends you're pathetic yeah well you're alone too that's true but i for one prefer to be alone i'm gonna hit up the cafeteria um your name is

ayano kochi isn't it yeah and you're kishida i'm so impressed you remembered my name too thanks yeah guess i did so um could we talk for a second [Music] the reason i stopped you is that you and horikita seem really close well i wouldn't go that far really but you're the only person in school that she talks to ever it's my goal to become friends with everyone at school even outside her class so i asked horikita for her phone number to maybe call her sometime but she turned me down she said she doesn't want to

be friends with anyone yeah i think that's just how she is but i still want to be friends with horikita in spite of all of that do you think that you could help me with her help you i don't know what do you mean you won't the head of the yamato government was known as the okimi he controlled the powerful families of each region using the uji kabane system uji referred to groups of families who shared the same bloodline while kabane referred to an individual's post and status it was a system in which pedigree determined

one's place that's all for today look over the material for tomorrow [Music] this school is incredibly indulgent these kids play around and sleep in class but the teachers never even bother to do anything i can't believe the government has the goal to dub this an elite school maybe they're just trying to encourage individual autonomy perhaps hey if you're just gonna head home would you mind coming somewhere with me first what are you trying to pull it's an invitation why would that suggest an ulterior motive if you'll be honest and tell me what you really want

maybe i'll be willing to hear you out you know that big cafe in the mall the coffee place where all the girls like to hang out would you be willing to go there with me right now why me of all people i'm just not brave enough to go in there alone that place kind of has a no boys allowed vibe and there's no one else you can ask well no i suppose there isn't that's to admit it but you're right about that [Music] is it always so packed so this is your first time coming here

too oh right you're a loner trying to insult me how childish uh that table just opened up hey i wonder you think the other people in here see us well you know as a couple never mind probably not the impending confrontation is tying my stomach into knots i feel sick huh hurry kita what a coincidence in the yano koji too so do you two come here together often no this is our first time oh that's cool well i'm here by myself i'm leaving you are it literally just sat down but kushi does here now so

you don't need me to stay do you i guess not but kushida and i are just classmates we don't know each other and how is that any different than what you and i are on top of that something seems fishy here and i don't like it what oh come on it's a coincidence nice try but the correct response would have been what's that supposed to mean the girls who are at this table and the two at the next one over is it coincidence there in our class honestly wow i didn't even notice i'm impressed that

you recognized them you and i came straight here immediately after class ended we came in and then they left though they couldn't have been here for longer than a couple of minutes it doesn't make any sense [Music] sorry yeah you're right we set you up i thought so holy kitten please be my friend that's all i wanted from this well what i want is for you to leave me alone you two should both know that you're wasting your time but i i don't understand won't you be lonely all by yourself being alone is not synonymous

with being lonely like i said it's a waste every sound coming out of your mouth repulses me hey are you sure about this do you really want to spend the next three years of your life that way if you don't make friends you'll be isolated i've been completely alone for the past nine years so it's another three to me it hardly matters sorry i kind of think i might have made horikita hate you and that was the last thing i wanted nah don't worry about it [Music] maybe she and i will never be friends that

makes me sad if i can't even make friends with all my classmates my coal seems unattainable personally i think horikita is an exception over there is from class 1b we became friends yesterday you're friends with kids in other classes i can't even imagine that there are so many really nice people in class b you know this school is pretty amazing don't you think all the different shops and the fact that we get a hundred thousand yen every month i don't know that amount seems kind of excessive in my opinion yeah i'm glad you think so

too and calling them points makes them entirely too easy to spend to be honest it's skewing my money sense [Applause] i'm going to have to budget tightly to avoid overspending i mean i'll buy the things i need obviously the toiletries i use every day like soap and toothpaste and on the panties yeah horikito is saying something similar huh oh so you even know all about how she spends her money you two really are friends aren't you no i just happen to be there whoa she's standing so close hmm well we'll just have to leave it

at that but it happens to be the truth one hundred thousand huh most students decided to make the most of their circumstances without giving much thought to anything at all day in and day out they blew through their monthly allowance like it was nothing buying whatever they wanted the teacher never disciplined so conversations in class sleeping on desks tardiness and downright truancy became the norm extravagance debauchery and lethargy ran rampant and suddenly on may 1st everything changed huh what's going on hold on yours hasn't either what's the deal here take your seats class morning homeroom

begins now hey teacher nobody here has gotten any more points yet it's the first of the month shouldn't they have already been refilled by now of course this month's allotment has already been distributed uh mine aren't there as i said the points have been allocated i am certain about that and i know for a fact that this class has not been overlooked by the administration what about our points nobody in this class got any how are we a whole class comprised of morons you're all pathetic a combined total of 98 tardies and absences 391 documented

cases of cell phone use and or talking during instruction impressive figures for the first month of the school year at this school your grades and performance evaluations aren't handed out they're reflected in your monthly points allotment your unconscionable behavior and that alone has resulted in the withholding of your points allowance for this month the points allotted to this class for the month comes out to a total of zero no way i have to live on no money this whole month hang on that's not fair it's just that you should have told us did it never

occur to you to question your circumstances your only children why would you be given such an extravagant sum didn't you think there'd be a catch your assumptions were wrong and now you must all pay the price if you did have doubts why then did you refuse to act upon them i told you on the first day of class didn't i i was perfectly clear this school judges its students on merit alone so as it stands now we think you're all garbage you're worth nothing so you get nothing [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] foreign

[Music] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Music] you
