In the past, his personality and teaching methods were almost mirror images of Korosensei's. He is also willing to mock his son's inability to produce the desired perfect victory over Class E, viewing his son's frustration with loss as a way to make him stronger, regardless of the emotional toll. He also uses his son for his own aims, never once treating him as his own kin and instead only as a useful tool for the maintenance of his system. His skewed sense of morality is also shown with his relationship with his son, with constant pressure to produce results and utterly defeat his foes, such as Class E, in perfect victory being a defining point of their relationship. Thus, although he's not above using underhanded methods to influence the final results, he respects whatever those final results may be. For those very exams, he allows the honest placement of the top students and grades without modifying or censoring them, showing the exact outcome of his educational bout with Korosensei, even though the outcome was unfavorable to him. For example, for the second trimester exams, he encourages the teachers to ramp up their difficulty to be akin to a college or university exam so that his students may compete with Class E on a level befitting their educational prowess.

Additionally, he is also unafraid to get his hands dirty to make sure that his system stays intact, notably when he takes his educational methods to the classroom for the first trimester midterm exams, giving the entire main school building a personal lesson and purposely excluding Class E just to ensure that they do not pass. He prioritizes its maintenance even over basic morality, willing to suggest things that has made even his own son question him, such as when he suggested that Class A poison Class E's restaurant food. His obsession with education gives him an abnormal sense of prioritization, putting the maintenance of his educational ideals over the world's future.
