bnha logistics dont make sense - students ver.

based on this post:

Not gonna lie, I spent a few hours trying to figure out Japan’s logistics in my mind. According to the BNHA wiki, only Todoroki, Bakugo and Midoriya were born in Musutafu, which is a fictional prefecture supposedly near Shizuoka. Besides them, only Jirou and Tokoyami live in Shizuoka. So, here is the problem: while the public transportation in Japan is good, it still is a big stretch to say that all UA students are able to commute to school-home everyday, especially when considering that the typical school day has a duration of at least 8.am till 4pm (which is the average school day without counting clubs, which aren’t so common at UA. However, if we take in consideration that the students are seen going home as the sun sets in the first season, just after the first combat lesson from All Might- early spring, going by the Japanese school calendar-, it's solid evidence that school days can go until roughly 6pm.).

Some of the first year students, like Shouji, live in Fukuoka, in the Kyushu region. The train(the public transportation train, not to be mistaken for the bullet train, which is too expensive to be taken on a regular basis) takes at least 5 hours to go from one city to the other. Kamakiri from 1-B is even worse, as he lives in Nagasaki. Just the trip from Nagasaki to Shizuoka takes approximately 7 hours by public transport and 5 by bullet train. 

Uraraka, the only student who gets explicitly confirmed to be living in an apartment without her parents, was born in the Mie prefecture. A quick google search confirms that a train ticket (the fastest method between car, bus and train) takes a bit more than 2 hours on the trip (quick fun fact:a Shinkansen pass with the duration of 7 days costs 50k yen, which roughly translates to 336 dollars!)

Here the bullshit gets worse: Iida, Hagakure, Sero, and Ojiro from 1-A, Shoda, Bondo and Kaibara from 1-B are all said to be born in Tokyo prefecture, and not a single one of them is mentioned to be living without their parents or in apartments closer to UA. Iida also implies that he still lives with his parents(before the dorms, of course). The trip from Tokyo to Shizuoka is said to take around 2 hours and approximately 20 minutes, so, unless every single one of them wakes up at least 5:40 am (not even counting the time it takes to eat breakfast, wear the uniform, exit the house and walk to the station), they won’t be able to make to UA at 8:00 am.

Not to mention, of course, that Iida canonically is a big nerd who always gets to school early, so-

Assuming the heroics classes are consistent and the students leave school around 6pm, and estimating a rough timing of 10 minutes to go to the train station, and another 10-minute walk to their homes:

6.pm + 10-minute walk + 2:20 of train ride + 10-minute walk = 8:40pm

(note: Musutafu is speculated to be in the eastern region of Shizuoka, having direct connection to the sea. It means it shares borders with Kanagawa, and potentially has a direct connection with Yamanashi. Tokyo is directly north of Kanagawa, so in theory, is one of the closest prefectures geographically. It can’t be actually confirmed due to Musutafu being a pure fictional location. The rest of the students, except for the ones that live in Aichi(Yanagi, Yaoyorozu and Asui) and Nagano, which also share a direct border with Shizuoka,)

In conclusion: unless at least 80% of the first years already live in Shizuoka (or Musutafu, actually), they would have less than 10 hours to sleep, study, train, interact with family and friends and take care of their basic necessities. 

BNHA doesn’t make sense. Honestly, what the fuck.
