In Honnouji Academy, there are four levels of student: no-star, one-star, two-
star, and three-star. However, only the one-star students all look the same.
The only exception is for Suzuki, who stole a one-star uniform in the first
episode.

Is there any reason why that is?

Why do all one-star students look the same?


I imagine it's because they are unimportant to the plot and because the
animators wanted to give a sense of a hive-mind mentality.

The ranks above are individualized as they are powerful and _worthy_ of the
viewer's (and Ryukko's) attention.

The zero-star students are individualized as well. Along with this, all the
slums are very different looking to each other - In contrast, the houses that
the richer student live in are very regular and similar to each other
corresponding with their uniform class.

A good example of the higher rank's lack of individualism is

> When Mako and Ryukko start the fight club, They start to lose their
> individuality that they once had in the slums and become arrogant, greedy
> and unloving towards each other. Once they return to the slums, they regain
> their own personalities again.
