The feeling of having a mentor, someone whom you respect and trust wholeheartedly, is indescribable. What more if the mentor or sensei is willing to go to any lengths to protect you from harm?

Mephisto Pheles in Blue Exorcist is a weird mentor. He has all the makings of one- he teaches, protects, and influences his protege. But his unique looks and highly suspicious actions are often misunderstood.

The way that Mephisto helps and guides Rin Okumura when he finds out that he is a child of Satan is worthy of respect.

Wing-sensei is not all that strong in the massive world of Hunter X Hunter. Yet, he is the one who introduces Gon and Killua to the world of Nen. Pushing them into the light and letting them learn how to harness their monstrous talents, Wing gains their respect even when they far surpass his level.

7. Levi Ackerman – Attack on Titan

Levi Ackerman will rank among the top few if we start discussing characters with attitude. Even with his lazy and annoyed persona, Levi is one of the most impactful mentors in all anime.

He guides and protects not just Eren and Mikasa but also the rest of the soldiers. Being a captain doesn’t mean he isn’t worthy of respect as a mentor.

6. Gojo Satoru – Jujutsu Kaisen

Probably the most sensational character in recent times, Gojo Satoru has become almost more famous than the series’s protagonist.

Gojo-sensei is the ultimate teacher. He is overpowered, carefree and amiable, and will fight to hell and back to protect himself. His contribution is vital in the growth of Yuji and the others.

5. Sakonji Urokodaki – Kimetsu No Yaiba: Demon Slayer

Tanjiro has a lot on his plate- from the attack on his family to Nezuko’s demonification- how can one think straight under all that burden?

That is where mentor Urokodaki comes in. He imparts all the crucial swordsmanship techniques and the Water Breathing forms and guides Tanjiro into the world of ‘Demon Slayers’.

4. Takeda Ittetsu – Haikyuu!!

Haikyuu is perhaps the best-known sports anime in recent times. With passion and grit, every episode takes us through an intense journey of growth of the Karasuno team.

The one person who takes on a leading role in guiding the players every step of the way is Takeda sensei. Although untalented himself, from finding a coach to giving fiery speeches, Takeda does it all.

3. Hatake Kakashi – Naruto

Hatake Kakashi has the moniker of the ‘Copy Ninja’, but he can never be recalled without ‘sensei’ next to his name. Kakashi-sensei is one of the most pivotal characters in Naruto.

His determination and will to sacrifice himself to protect his students is unmatched. He believes in Naruto when he says he will be Hokage one day.

2. Eikichi Onizuka – Great Teacher Onizuka

Onizuka is a walking example of change and what it can do for people. Being a former delinquent, Onizuka becomes a teacher of problematic students.

Onizuka uses his crude yet heartwarming way of correcting his students with words or dragging them to study. This 90’s anime represents the spirit of a true teacher.

1. Korosensei – Assassination Classroom

If we talk about anime that revolves entirely around a teacher, you can only think of Assassination Classroom and the eccentric Korosensei. So it is no wonder this is the top of our list.

Originally sent to teach the kids about killing and assassination, Korosensei awakens his students’ humanity, their desires and youthful energy, even when he has nothing to gain.

Because that is what a teacher should do.
