Assassination Classroom (Manga) | comment |
Every morning, the students of Kunugigaoka Middle School's Class 3-E greet their homeroom adviser—a yellow, grinning, octopus-like being—with a massive firing squad.This creature was responsible for blowing up 70% of the Moon, rendering it permanently crescent-shaped, and is threatening to do the same to Earth in exactly one year. But now he has grown bored of the world governments' futile attempts at killing him, so he strikes them an odd deal: permit him to be Class 3-E's homeroom teacher, and he'll allow the students to try and kill him however they'd like to. Can the students successfully take him, now named "Koro-sensei", down and save the world despite the fact that he's ridiculously fast (so much so he can hit Mach 20), very cunning, nearly invincible, and definitely the best teacher they've ever had—especially for an infamous class of twenty-six social misfits and academic underachievers whom society has given up on?Despite the outlandish and somewhat foreboding premise, Assassination Classroom (暗殺教室 Ansatsu KyÅ�shitsu) is a lighthearted, action-packed comedy with several realistic, Slice of Life elements woven into its story. Imagine a less explicit Great Teacher Onizuka mixed with sci-fi and espionage to get an idea of what you're in for.The author, Yuusei Matsui, is also the creator of Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, which deals with similar ideas, mainly a supernatural creature with Blue-and-Orange Morality who's ultimately bettering the people it comes across. The difference is where Neuro was protecting his food source, Koro-sensei is trying to better his students by working in the killing arts as a teaching tool. And it works. Of course, there is the slight problem of him planning to destroy the world...Assassination Classroom was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2016 for 187 chapters, which were compiled into 21 volumes (notably, it did not fall below 4th place in the Weekly Shonen Jump TOC rankings once over its entire duration). The manga is licensed in English by VIZ Media and released under their Shonen Jump imprint.Two OVAs premiered during the 2013 and 2014 Jump Special Anime Festa tours: the 2013 OVA adapts the Kyoto field trip arc, while the 2014 OVA, titled Episode 0: Encounter Timenote unofficial English translation (Episode:0 出会ã�„ã�®æ™‚é–“ Deai no Jikan), details how Koro-sensei and Karasuma first met. Afterwards, a two cour TV anime adaptation produced by Lerche premiered on January 9, 2015, with its second season debuting a year later on January 7, 2016. The Episode 0 OVA was included as bonus content for the anime's first home video release. Funimation has picked up the rights to stream and dub the anime. The show made its American television premiere on [adult swim]'s Toonami block on August 29, 2020. In Australia, SBS 2 is airing the anime.The series also has a non-canonical Spin-Off entitled Koro-Sensei Quest!. Basically imagine the plot in an RPG Mechanics 'Verse.A Live-Action Adaptation film called Assassination Classroom produced by Toho was released in Japan on March 21, 2015, and roughly covers the first half of the story. A sequel called Assassination Classroom: Graduation (暗殺教室 å�’æ¥ç·¨ Ansatsu KyÅ�shitsu: SotsugyÅ�-hen) was released on March 25, 2016, and covers the latter half.A video game called Assassination Classroom: Koro-sensei's Great Besiegement!! (暗殺教室 殺ã�›ã‚“ã�›ãƒ¼å¤§åŒ…囲網!! Ansatsu KyÅ�shitsu: Koro-sensei Dai HÅ�imÅ�) developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the Nintendo 3DS was released in 2015.Koro-sensei appears as a playable character in J-Stars Victory VS, originally released in Japan for Play Station 3 and Play Station Vita in 2014 and internationally in 2015. | |

Arc Symbol | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: The permanent crescent moon, symbolizing Koro-sensei, often serving as a reminder of just how powerful he is. It is revealed much later that Koro-sensei had appropriated the crescent moon for himself as he took the blame for the moon's destruction, having sewed the symbol on his tie. Additionally, as Nagisa notes in the epilogue, after Koro-sensei's death, the crescent moon slowly coalesces back into a sphere thanks to gravity; in essence, the crescent moon "died" with him. | |

Gastro mocks him for missing the shot, only for him to suddenly be crushed by falling stage lights, caused by Chiba's shot hitting the brackets. | |

Gender-Concealing Writing | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_195bec23 | comment |
Gender-Concealing Writing: An important example that caught many translators off guard: When it is mentioned that there is someone in Class-E that has greater bloodlust than Itona, the lack of gendered language is used to mask that that person isn't Nagisa, but Kayano/Akari. The brief discussion over Class E's previous teacher, Yukimura-sensei, was translated using male pronouns although the original uses gender neutral pronouns. Yukimura-sensei is eventually revealed to be a woman. | |

Home Field Advantage: When up against a highly skilled mercenary team who earlier captured them in seconds. The tables are turned when Class 3-E has to break through them in order to get back to their classroom. Not only are they properly prepared and on the offensive this time, but the battlefield is the mountain their classroom is on, and they've spent the whole year getting to know every inch of the mountain like the back of their hands, and setting traps for Koro-sensei to now be repurposed against the mercenaries. | |

Single Woman Seeks Good Man: When given the option, the girls of Class E prefer good guys. In the anime, when discussing which of the boys the girls think are most attractive, they all agree that it would easily be Karma, if only he were less evil. In Chapter 90, Nagisa says the kind-hearted and helpful Isogai would undoubtedly be everyone's first choice—he's even attractive enough to get the attention of girls from the main campus. | |

Staredown Faceoff: Happens during a baseball game of all things. Early on, Class A counters Class E's bunting strategy by all standing in the infield, not being called out by the biased umpire. Korosensei has Karma mock this favoritism publicly, allowing him and Isogai to perform the same stunt later to avoid a double standard. However, rather than stand a safe distance away, they place themselves only a foot from the batter, Shindo, and stare him down to intimidate him. He quickly panics, unwilling to hurt the other boys, and fails to hit the ball while Karma and Isogai dodge the swing. | |

Koro-sensei declares it will be settled with a game of paintball in order to prevent this trope from going too far. | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_2260cfe3 | comment |
Principal Asano is one of the emotional variety to his son Gakushuu, needing little prompting to rattle about how all of his son's plans ended up in failures. Gakushuu usually responds in kind but it's clear his father terrifies him sometimes (just look at Gakushuu's face when his father beats up the foreign students who were defending him.). Also, Gakushuu's been slapped by his father at least once (by pointing out how his plans ended in failure, ironically enough). | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: At the beginning of the series, Irina tries to extract some information out of Nagisa by planting a 30-hit French kiss on him. Several months later, Nagisa uses the exact same technique on Kayano to distract her from the destructive influence of her tentacles. He only lands 15 hits, but it's more than enough to distract her long enough for Koro-sensei to remove her tentacles. Remember the formula Koro-sensei made with Okuda that gave him slime-like properties, way back in the beginning chapters? Neither of them knew at the time, but this chemical composition neutralized the effects of Koro-sensei's antimatter body, reducing the odds of exploding to virtual nonexistence. In other words, from the moment he drank that, the threat of the Earth being destroyed was gone. The wasabi and horseradish torture that Karma used on Grip in the Assassination Island arc later returns, with improvements, on one of the mercenaries guarding the mountain, in order to use his screams as bait to lure more mercenaries into a trap. Koro-sensei's habit of grooming attackers at super speed? Extra Chapter 4 reveals it was part of his training in special surgery, which pays off there to heal and remove the tumor from a woman's brain, and in the final arc of the main story for saving Kaede. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The anime rearranges a few of the manga's arcs in order to streamline the flow of the story. It also throws in a few small scenes to give the cast some extra tidbits of characterization. Several of these extra scenes were inspired by the extra bonus content included within the series' volume releases. | |

Ultimate Final Exam: Played with; the students of class 3-E are forced to endure grueling training exercises for assassination and must study like their lives depend on it in order to complete exams that have already been rigged against them. However, the final exam is actually a relatively normal test, albeit with ridiculously hard questions. It is represented as an intense battle with the questions being grotesque monsters the students must fight with weapons such as pistols and machine guns. In reality, there is no actual danger involved, just extreme stress. | |

Save Our Students | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_2565ac2 | comment |
Save Our Students: Koro-sensei is at Kunugigaoka Middle School to help their lowest-performing students excel... through a liberal application of superpowers and some rather unusual extracurricular activities. Subverted occasionally. He's not the end-all for their grades, as shown when Karma drops several points in the first round of finals despite Koro-sensei's efforts because he didn't care enough to study. Koro-sensei also learned after the first midterms that he needed to set more reasonable goals for his students than he previously had. | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: The story will end as soon as someone successfully assassinates Koro-sensei. Of course none of the assassination attempts shown in the first hundred chapters or so are going to work. Subverted with the revelation of Koro-sensei's real identity and his inevitable fate, since the class still has a slight chance of reversing it. And then it was subverted again in a heart-wrenching way. | |

Mythology Gag: In Chapter 178, one of Koro-sensei's advices to Fuwa that he wrote in her personalized guidebook is for her to write a spinoff story where he's a demon king. This alludes to the spinoff Koro-Sensei Quest!, which debuted a year prior to the chapter's release. | |

Chapter 164: The beginning of the end. The government has a Kill Sat that can kill Koro-sensei and they've trapped him on the mountain until they can fully charge it. They've also exposed Koro-sensei to the public in order to demonize him as the monster who held Class E as hostages. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: If you're attractive (or at least ordinary) without looking downright creepy, then you're likely a member of Class-E in one way or another. The only exception to this seems to be Koro-sensei and the four 3-E delinquents (not counting Karma). It's even lampshaded when two girls in a higher-ranking class note that 3-E's PE teacher, the young government agent Karasuma, is rather attractive, and that all of the guys and teachers in their class are ugly and mean. Koro-sensei's appearance plays with this trope. His face will change from "good" to "evil" (pitch black for extreme anger) if anyone tries to push his button (hurting his students or seeing Itona Horibe's tentacles. Then inverted with his original, human appearance, which shows that he used to be a pretty handsome man before the experiments he endured turned him into the creature he is today. Averted with Kaho Tsuchiya of 3-C. Beautiful? Yes. Cold-hearted, manipulative, vile witch? An undisputed affirmative. Played straight when she shows her true face. Played With in Takaoka: his cartoony (well, more cartoony) smiley face masks a vicious streak a mile wide. The doctor (Shiro) who turned an extremely skilled but still human assassin into the superhuman Koro-sensei looks rather attractive at first; then he starts referring to his secret human test subject as a disposable guinea pig ("he doesn't have a family registry so it doesn't matter if he dies"), smashes a vial of something on an assistant's head, and strikes his other assistant/slave/wife via arranged pity-marriage on the head with a computer tablet repeatedly. By the time the (first/original) God of Death KO's him through a solid plexiglass barrier his good looks have gone a bit off. | |

Because Ritsu, a military machine designed to assassinate Koro-sensei with the AI interface of a middle-school girl, is also enrolled as a student, Koro-sensei also has no recourse against her. He even points out that the government is exploiting a loophole in their agreement. However, it gets reversed when the class, fed up with her assassination attempts interrupting their lessons, retaliate via Terasaka duct taping her gun ports shut, as they can interfere. Koro-sensei then decides helping Ritsu go beyond her programming isn't "harm", exploiting it further in the class's and his favor. | |

Could Say It, But...: After being captured and detained by the government in order to stop them from interfering in their final assassination plan, Karasuma visits 3-E in order to berate them for trying to get to the mountain, detailing all the different defenses the mountain has and how skilled the mercenaries and their boss are, and leaves them telling them to cool their heads. Of course, his real intention was to give them vital information on said obstacles so they could make a plan and prepare to attack on the last day, when security was at its most lax. | |

Students Playing Matchmaker: Throughout the series, Irina Jelavic is shown to have deep feelings for Karasuma. The students are aware of this and attempt to help her get with him with minimal success due to Irina's immaturity and Karasuma apparently being Oblivious to Love. After Karasuma reveals he knew all along tells Irina not to let her feelings get in the way of assassination, Irina feels rejected and thinks the students were making fun of her, prompting the students to call Karasuma out on his cold words. After Irina betrays the class, Karasuma realizes he is at fault for how harsh he was and works to make amends with her, even proposing to her in his own waynote He asks her to retire as an assassin and live with him, which she misinterprets at first. | |

More Dakka: The "spray and pray" method was an early but hopeless tactic used by Class E against Koro-sensei. More creative uses of this strategy are eventually utilized, such as aiming the hail of gunfire indirectly at him to reduce his concentration, aiming around him to limit his escape routes, or aiming it at a hostage, since his ability to defend others with his mach speed is relatively lackluster. | |

Minimalistic Cover Art: The manga volume cover artworks◊ usually consist of nothing more than a few solid colors and Koro-sensei's face. Special mention goes to the Volume 5 cover, which shows Koro-sensei's poker face: blank white with the ._. emote. Generally speaking, the odd-numbered volumes will have simpler cover arts than their even-numbered counterparts. | |

Gratuitous English | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: More like "Gratuitous IPA English". On the cover page of Chapter 55, the word assassination is rendered as əsˈæsənˌeɪʃən, which would actually be assassination, with the first "ass" as its own syllable. The correct rendering would be əˈsæs.ɪnˌeɪ.ʃən. Let this stand forever as the most pedantic entry on the page. In a straighter example, after Class 3-E announce their finals grades (allowing them to shoot off seven of Koro-sensei's tentacles) and how they're going to factor their wager with 3-A into the deal, Koro-sensei is so shocked that he speaks a single word of English. Amusingly, the English dub ended up preserving this joke... by having Koro-sensei speak Gratuitous Japanese instead. | |

Flashback Echo: When Koro-sensei notices a fragment of sizzling gunpowder from Nagisa's failed attempt, it triggers a cryptic flashback involving a burning laboratory, a mortally-wounded woman, and a humanoid monster cradling her in its arms. The woman is Aguri Yukimura, Class 3-E's previous homeroom teacher and Kayano's older sister. When Itona reveals his tentacles, Koro-sensei becomes furious as he briefly recalls a tentacle piercing said woman's stomach. Aguri was killed by a tentacle container while trying to stop him from killing the scientists who performed the painful experiments that turned him into what he is today. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Professional standards, no less. No assassin worth his salt would besmirch his name with the blood of innocent middle-school kids lest his name become an anathema, even if he loses some credibility in the process. This is enforced by a clause added to the bounty on Koro-sensei that says the bounty is worthless if any of the students are harmed. In later chapters, Asano Jr. begins to believe that his father's teaching methods aren't right, and balks when his father, unsatisfied with Class 3-A's modest victory over Class 3-E at the school festival, suggests that he should have achieved an overwhelming victory by sabotaging their ramen restaurant and poisoning their food. As of the end of Chapter 118, he begins to see the monster his father truly is. | |

Evolving Credits | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_3297cfbb | comment |
Evolving Credits: Irina appears in the "dancing" portion of Season 1's first opening sequence after her introduction in Season 1 Episode 4. Season 1 Episode 7 follows Nagisa, Kayano, Karma, Sugino, Okuda and Kanzaki's group during the Kyoto field trip. The opening for that episode and the following one are sung in-character by their respective voice actors (see "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune above). Ritsu can be seen near the end of Season 1's first opening theme, from Episode 7, despite not being formally introduced until Episode 9, and from Episode 10 on she appears throughout the opening. Season 1 Episode 18 overhauls the second opening sequence with new images and animations of the characters in their summer uniforms as well as dancing on the beach in casual summer wear, highlighting the start of the summer break portion of the series. Itona appears in the Season 2 opening from Episode 4 onwards after losing his tentacles and joining Class 3-E (specifically aligning himself with Terasaka's clique). Following the "Reaper" arc, the Season 2's first opening from Episode 9 onwards showcases Irina's Good Costume Switch, and she and Karasuma are facing each other, signifying their growing bond. It also shows the Reaper's maskless face. Season 2's second opening (Episode 15 onwards) changes per episode to show how many days the class has left to kill Koro-sensei. All four ending themes usually end with a Koro-sensei smiley. For Season 2 Episode 24, however, this is replaced with an image of the class blackboard filled with messages from the students and Koro-sensei's congratulations to them for their graduation. This is also carried out into the opening credits for the final episode. | |

Adapted Out | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Several chapters that provide characterization for the supporting classmates were left out of the anime adaptation. Maehara's limelight chapters (23 and 24) that establishes him as the class casanova seem to have been removed from the anime entirely. One can only imagine it had something to do with the whole "poisoning your schoolmates" thing. Sousuke's limelight chapter (37), which shows off his artistry, also got skipped. Meg's limelight chapters (44 and 45) that deals with an issue of a school student abusing Meg's generosity also didn't make the cut. Craig Houjou is left out of the anime adaptation, being replaced by a generic military commander. The subplot of Class 3-E being kidnapped by Houjou and his men is also skipped. The live action movie duology had to massively streamline the manga's story in order to fit into a combined 4 hours of runtime; thus, numerous story arcs and characters such as Asano Jr., the Five Virtuosos, Smog, Grip, Gastro, Nagisa's mother, and the Reaper are omitted. Chairman Asano is also Demoted to Extra in the first movie, and is absent in the second movie altogether. Weirdly enough, unlike in the anime, Craig Houjou does appear in the second movie. | |

She then purposefully signs a contract with loan sharks that ends up getting her kidnapped, forcing the assassins and Korosensei to rescue her. After the rescue, she planned to blow up the building to either kill Korosensei and leave the money to her daughter; or, if Korosensei didn't show up, to kill the loan sharks, erase her debt, and protect her daughter, while leaving her daughter with a considerable amount of money from the life insurance she took out on herself. | |

Actor Allusion: Yuzuki Fuwa shares the same voice actress and character type of Yako Katsuragi, the heroine and kid detective of the author's previous series. In Episode 19, after deducing who poisoned her classmates, Fuwa mimics Yako's modus operandi by dramatically pointing at him and shouting, "The culprit was you!" | |

Kill the Ones You Love: At the end of Chapter 177, Class 3-E finally kills Koro-sensei at his behest after defeating Shiro and the second Reaper, with Nagisa dealing the fatal stab while the rest pin him down. However, by that time the students had already grown close to him, who had shown them the love and care their previous homeroom teachers denied them, as well as helped them to gain confidence and develop intellectually, physically and emotionally, so understandably all of them broke down crying over what they had done. | |

To a lesser extent, Season 1 is book-ended with class bully Ryouma Terasaka's interaction with Nagisa, displaying the former's Character Development. The series began with him coercing Nagisa into becoming a suicide bomber against Koro-sensei. Episode 22 ends with him warning Nagisa against going into a murderous rampage against Takaoka. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Akira Takaoka, elite soldier and special forces instructor, versus Nagisa Shiota, a 15-year-old kid with barely three months' worth of assassination training. Nagisa wins in under ten seconds because he treats it as an assassination, not a fight. He simply walks up to Takaoka, completely at ease until he's at point blank range and the only one prepared to actually attack. In the final arc, Class 3-E goes up against a highly skilled team of mercenaries. They easily trounce everyone except the leader due to a combination of a Home Field Advantage, Karasuma's covert feedback, and training experience with Koro-sensei. As for their leader, he was overwhelmed with hit-and-run tactics designed to distract him from psyching himself up until he gets a Nagisa/Karma clap-and-kick takedown. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Karma learns the hard way that confidence is no substitute for studying when he tanks at math during the first semester finals. Koro-sensei makes sure to point it out so he'll learn from it. Lovro and Irina's competition to "assassinate" Karasuma runs into this. Karasuma isn't about to drop his guard around Irina or fall for any of her tricks, while Lovro is too out of practice to be a credible threat to a special forces soldier like him. In the end, Irina is left with no other option than to make a head on attack, and only succeeds because Karasuma allows her to win. In the Assassination Island arc, the three assassins Takaoka hired are assassins, but they're professional assassins with reputations to uphold and don't share in their employer's sadism. Thus, they don't really want to be responsible for killing an entire class of middle school students. So, when the plan calls for poisoning half the class in order to blackmail the other half, rather than use the deadly virus that Takaoka had no intention of handing over the antidote for, they use a different virus that only looks deadly but will eventually wear off. Chapter 140 reveals that Koro-sensei had sewn his clothes out of hemp plant fiber, shortly after he escaped from Yanagisawa's lab and assumed his current form. The volume release of Chapter 140 includes a little ending illustration showing Koro-sensei itching all over his body, because he wears clothes made out of freshly sewn plant fiber. During the final arc, the mountains where the classes have been held is protected by an elite squad of the world's best soldiers. However, they are not familiar with the territory, and are not as well-trained in stealth and coordination. After all, Class E has been honing their skills and teamwork for a year and know the mountains enough that Karasuma-sensei says they could operate "in there blindfolded". As such, they quickly dispatch most of the soldiers in the mountains with little effort, leaving only their leader, Craig Houjou, left, and even then Class 3-E defeats him by frustrating his attempts to prepare himself, culminating in a Nagisa/Karma combo of a clap stunner and a chokehold. What happens when the public discovers Asano Sr. has segregated all the under-performing students to a run-down school building off the main campus, and actually encouraged other students and faculty to bully them? National public outrage that got so intense that the school board is forced to fire the disgraced Asano Sr., abolish the messed-up system, and surrender the property rights of the Class E building in order to save face and keep Kunugigaoka Academy open. | |

Offstage Villainy: Aside from his shameless perversion, Koro-sensei has not done anything that is morally wrong on-screen. And yet, he has all but destroyed the Moon in the backstory and will do the same to the Earth in the close future. No info is provided on whether he massacred the combined armies of the world trying to kill him or just did a No-Sell of their barrage. This is later subverted with the reveal that he didn't destroy the moon nor does he want to destroy the Earth; a massive explosion is simply what happens when the bodies of antimatter-infused creatures like Koro-sensei undergo critical failure. The plot started as a variation of Suicide by Cop combined with upholding the last wish of his love. On the other hand, we find out that Koro-sensei used to be an assassin, no less than the previous Reaper, and thus he's responsible both for countless victims killed for a price and for training the current Reaper, who eventually turns against him. It's only after being transformed and losing his loved one that he takes a turn for the better. | |

However, far from celebrating having saved the world, they instead mourn him after spending a year developing intellectually, physically and emotionally under his tutelage (made all the more heartbreaking by the fact that killing him was already largely optional at that point, as his chances of blowing up were actually 1%, but they were forced to do what they had to before a government Kill Sat did so). Nevertheless, all 28 students graduated with newfound confidence and sense of self-worth, ready to apply their lessons to lead better adult lives. | |

We then learn about the "blowing up 70% of the moon" thing, just to cement how silly-but-violent this story can get. | |

Reassignment Backfire: Asano Sr. set up Class 3-E as an example to students on what will happen to them if they don't excel in their studies, while encouraging other students to bully them. This backfires after Koro-sensei comes in and starts improving their grades and morale. Though the other classes initially don't notice this growth, attempts by the two Asanos to beat Class 3-E back down only make the other classes respect the growth they make. Come the second semester finals, when Class 3-A finds themselves beaten by Class 3-E into the high spots of the Top 50, Asano Sr. finds that the students of Class 3-A would almost welcome going to 3-E in order to improve, while simultaneously stating that the Chairman's teaching method doesn't work. Suffice it to say, the Chairman does not approve of these developments. | |

Black Comedy Rape: Subverted in Chapter 9 / Season 1 Episode 4, when Koro-sensei decides to retaliate against Irina's failed assassination attempt with some "maintenance". It turned out to be nothing but a high-speed massage, a swift change into a more conservative outfit, and something else... | |

Everybody Knew Already: After his first match with Itona, Koro-sensei decides he has no choice but to reveal a shocking truth about himself: he is actually an artificially created creature. No one in the class is surprised since Koro-sensei already said he isn't an alien, and thus an artificial being was the only possible explanation left. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Threatening the world is one thing, but the first chapter ends with Koro-sensei threatening his students' families. The threat was made to counter the ideas certain students had that it was okay to bully other students into effectively becoming suicide bombers, and bonding and character development within the entire class have made that threat effectively non-existent. However, knowing Koro-sensei like we do now, it was an extreme action for him to take. Although perhaps, considering his backstory and what this post points out, it can be implied that he was just starting to get into his new identity. | |

Book Ends: The series begins with Koro-sensei taking a roll of Class 3-E while they're firing at him. The final arc has a double-book-end: Chapter 177 / Season 2 Episode 24 has him roll-calling the class one last time before they finally assassinate him. Then the whole series ends with Nagisa, now a collegiate intern working part-time teaching to a classroom of delinquents, designated Class 3-5 (a subtle nod to his old class also being the fifth third-year class of Kunugigaoka), calmly confronting his students before taking a roll-call. Both the first chapter and the final Extra Chapter involve attempting to kill Koro-sensei with a grenade. To a lesser extent, Season 1 is book-ended with class bully Ryouma Terasaka's interaction with Nagisa, displaying the former's Character Development. The series began with him coercing Nagisa into becoming a suicide bomber against Koro-sensei. Episode 22 ends with him warning Nagisa against going into a murderous rampage against Takaoka. The beginning of the story has the moon exploding and turning into a crescent shape as the plot kicks off. The end has it collapse in on itself and move closer to earth, gradually returning to its original appearance. | |

Invisible Parents: Though they may be briefly mentioned on occasion, the students' parents never appear until dozens of chapters later, if at all. Chiba and Hayami's parents are shown in a flashback, respectively. Nagisa's father, who is often absent due to his work, appears in Chapter 76. He seems to be nice, and it's mentioned that Nagisa's mother is strict. Chapter 112 reveals that "strict" is a severe understatement. Takebayashi's parents (Chapters 78 and 79) aren't happy with his poor grades and are shown to be quite distant from him at home and because of that, he leaves Class E for a couple of chapters. Kimura's parents and Kirara's mom are shown in a flashback in Chapter 89. | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_5466745d | comment |
Clear Their Name: One arc has Koro-sensei framed for underwear theft and other especially perverted acts, causing most of his students' trust in him to dwindle. However, Karma catches on that while Koro-sensei is a pervert, he would never stoop this low, as losing his students' trust would be worse to him than dying. So Karma forms a small team (of himself, Kayano, Nagisa, Fuwa and Terasaka) to find the real culprit and clear Koro-sensei's name. | |

Doorstopper: What Koro-sensei produces every time he comes up with a "guidebook" for class excursions. One octopod's guide is another man's industrialized carbon-capture method—with indices, cross-references, info-panels, bullet points and plot-significance. They also make for very good improvised weapons. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: As mentioned above in Adaptation Dye-Job, Kayano's hair is brown instead of green in the live-action movie. This creates a plot hole after The Reveal that she's actually a moderately-famous actress. In the manga, nobody recognized her because she dyed her hair green, so it begs the question how nobody in the movie recognized her. | |

Letting the Air out of the Band: Done several times throughout the anime for comedic effect.

Adaptation Distillation | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The anime had to remove some comedic moments and minor information about some of the characters from the manga to ensure they could fit in at least 2-3 chapters in one episode. The second season takes this further, truncating the manga's longer arcs (4-5 chapters per episode) so that they can be made into 1-2 episodes. The live action movies only kept some key moments from the manga due to their two-hour-length time restraints. Similar to how it was handled in the anime, the first movie dealt up until the Island Arc (only changing the setting in the old campus, and putting Itona in there as well, as part of Takaoka's threat), and the sequel (properly subtitled "Graduation") did all the way up until the series' finale. | |

Afterward, they point out that killing a bunch of kids just because some nutjob wants them to would generate too much unwanted attention and legal trouble to make it nearly worth the amount they were being paid. | |

Exam questions are depicted as bizarre, gigantic monsters which the students need to conquer or slay. In the first midterms, they're just Dire Beasts. In the first finals, they've become armored giants, tanks and such. By the second finals, they've gone all the way to Eldritch Abominations. The kids are armed not with writing utensils, but with knives, hammers, swords, and staves. Taking a test has never been so epic. | |

The latter half of Chapter 179 and the entirety of Chapter 180 fast-forwards to seven years later. The moon has collapsed and coalesced again into a spherical form while it was pulled closer by Earth's gravity, implicitly normalizing the tides to pre-explosion levels. Karasuma and Irina are now married and work together as counterterrorist agents. And by the looks of it, Class 3-E's alumni have utilized everything they learned to lead successful and meaningful lives — Ritsu is now a fully-sentient being, Okano the leader of a university athletics club (which uses her old turf as training grounds), Kurahashi an ecotourist guide (using the same mountain for explorations), Takebayashi and Okuda developers of universal artificial blood, Sugino a college baseball superstar, Terasaka an apprentice to a powerful politician, Yoshida, Muramatsu and Itona inheritors to their family businesses, Nakamura a university student in London, Hazama a librarian, Kanzaki a caregiver, Sugaya an experimental artist, Karma an aspiring statesman, Kayano has returned to showbiz and is currently starring in a popular drama, and Nagisa is now teacher to a class of delinquents, while the rest are implied to be most likely finishing their education and starting new careers as well — even as they never forget to keep in contact with each other. | |

The party led by Nagisa believes that they should find a solution to prevent Korosensei from self-destructing so he can live. Karma's team believes that they should continue trying to kill Korosensei, citing how they've always known him as a target to be killed, and that they've come so far in their goals and shouldn't give up halfway. | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: The kanji displayed at the back of the classroom changes as the episodes progress. The text reads, "Assassination", "Speed of Sound", and "Tentacle". The "S.A.A.U.S.O." logo on the students' knives and weapons is a detail featured only in the anime. Pause at the right time and you'll find that it stands for "Special Arms Against Unidentified Slimy Octopus". The English print in the newspaper article describing Koro-sensei's assault on a pro baseball game becomes ten times funnier in the anime. The "Poison Storage" manga in Episode 5 is pretty amusing, but it's easy to miss since it's only glanced over for a few seconds. The second opening lists all the students' names in English, including a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Kimura's real given name, "Justice", which isn't revealed until a few chapters later. | |

Final Exam Finale | |

Final Exam Finale: The second term finals are literally this, though they aren't the end of the series. But it's The Final Question that properly fits the definition of the trope for Karma and Gakushuu. Aside from having proper Final Boss cred for being an insanely difficult math problem (when the internet got a hold of a translation of the question, the general consensus was that it was college-level geometry), Karma's solution involves him thinking through much of his Character Development over the course of the series. And for Gakushuu, his approach betrays his lack of growth over the series, and he fails to find the answer in time. | |

Most official translations use "Koro Sensei", but opinions still differ. | |

Gladiator Games: How final exams are depicted to the viewer. Armed with hammers, swords, magical staves, and ray guns, the students are thrown into a coliseum where they must slay a horde of gigantic, surreal monsters within a short time limit. In reality, they're just sitting in a chair, taking an exam on a piece of paper. | |

Meaningful Echo: After Koro-sensei gets himself into a tangle after failing to solve a wire puzzle in less than a second, Asano Sr. taunts him that not every problem can be solved with speed. Later, Koro-sensei repeats this line to his students after revealing the mountainside pool he built by damming a stream and letting it pool up overnight. Karasuma's first words to the students, in regards to Koro-sensei: "I'll cut right to the point. I want you to kill this monster!". Later repeated to Class E (in a metaphorical sense) by Asano Jr., who is fed up with the Chairman's educational methods and wants them to take him down during the second semester final exams. | |

So it's a bunch of students assigned to kill a dude who is skilled at killing dudes who wants and teaches the students to kill him. | |

Casting Gag: In the anime adaptation, Kana Ueda voices Yuzuki Fuwa, the Class E student with a knack for mystery solving. She previously voiced Yako Katsuragi, the amateur detective and heroine of the author's previous series. Robot Girl Ritsu is played by Saki Fujita, who lent her voice to the most famous Vocaloid, Miku Hatsune. Terasaka is purposely similar in some aspects to Doraemon's Gian, and they ended up sharing the same voice actor, Subaru Kimura. Asano Gakushuu shares the same voice actor as well as characteristics as another famous genius. | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_6ef09297 | comment |
Masquerade: Aside from Asano Sr., the rest of the school (and the world) has no idea that Class 3-E is harboring the culprit who blew up the moon, and the ongoing attempt at his assassination is a total secret. It's been stated that the government is willing to wipe the memories of anyone unable to uphold this secret. When the students accidentally injure an old man while trying out their free running skills in a public area, Karasuma, Koro-sensei, and the students end up going to a lot of trouble compensating for his work as a cram school teacher which he misses while recovering in the hospital, thus preventing him from leaking their secret. Played for Laughs when Yuuji notices a large number of sketchy looking customers (Lovro, Red Eye, Gastro, Smog and Grip) at Class 3-E's school festival cafe. Nagisa tries to come up with increasingly ridiculous excuses to hide the fact that they're all professional hitmen. | |

Japanese Ranguage: Used a lot with regards to Irina Jelavic, a Serbian assassin who teaches English for Class 3-E. During her introductory arc, Class-E makes a half-baked attempt at shortening "Jelavic-Oneesama" to "Vic-Neesan". Their inability to pronounce the "v" properly, compounded by Irina's unpleasant personality, earns her the nickname "Bitch-neesan" (later "Bitch-sensei", when she wins their favor) for the rest of the series.

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_83445b04 | comment |
Pun: Tons, most of which incorporate "殺", the kanji for "kill". Of particular note, Koro-sensei's name was chosen for him by the class for sounding similar to "korosenai," the potential-negative form of the verb meaning "to kill," so it means "cannot kill" or "cannot be killed." Another reoccurring pun revolves around the exam questions, which are always depicted as gigantic monsters. The kanji for "question" is "mon" (門), so the monsters (モンスター) become "problem behemoths" (門スター). | |

Logical Weakness: Assassination skills are for getting the drop on a target, not prolonged conflict, making most assassins far less effective at combat than their general competence level would suggest. Infiltration-style assassins like Irina lose most of their effectiveness once their cover is blown. | |

Artistic License – Law: Class A's elites mention some 50 contractual traps in their betting agreement with Class E. Absolutely bulletproof... except the minimum age for legal agreements in Japan is 20. This age requirement also applies to gambling. | |

In Chapter 28, Koro-sensei takes several students to see an American superhero movie, wherein the major Plot Twist involves the Big Bad being revealed to be the heroine's brother. At the end of the chapter we meet Itona, Koro-sensei's Ax-Crazy "younger brother". Or, from another angle, despite being a main character Koro-sensei was built up to be the Big Bad, but its later revealed the true Big Bad is Shiro/Kotar� Yanagisawa. It's later revealed that Shiro was Aguri's fiance, making him Kayano's older brother-in-law. | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_848bec3d | comment |
Wishing for More Wishes: When class 3-E challenges 3-A, with the condition that the losing class must follow one order from the winner, 3-A immediately puts together a massive document full of requirements and commands (including, in effect, "do whatever we tell you to") with the intended order of "obey this document". | |

Big Entrance | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_84fde8d1 | comment |
Big Entrance: When The Final Question arrives at the very end of the second term finals, it does not do so subtly. The manga merely has it flying in, smashing its way into the imaginary arena. But in the anime, it arrives through a giant black hole in the sky that spits out lightning everywhere, surrounded by a halo of flames. Everyone but Karma and Gakushuu can only look on in awe. this is an appropriate visual metaphor for reaching the very end of a test and suddenly coming upon a question miles above the level you've studied for, which is worth a fifth of your grade in that subject. | |

Bait-and-Switch: In Episode 18, during a video made to distract Koro-Sensei out of embarrassment, it's said that he takes rigorous advantage of free tissue samples, and considering the kinda guy he is, one probably wouldn't expect him to fry them... for whatever reason. When Takebayashi temporarily joins Class A, his fellow students take note of his shocked face at the teacher's math lesson. They assume (much like the reader might) that he is overwhelmed by how fast and intense the trigonometry lecture is, but his internal monologue reveals that he's actually astonished at how incompetent the teacher is compared to Koro-sensei, noting that Class E already covered trigonometry last semester. | |

Blinded by the Light: During the battle at the concert hall, Gastro cranks up the stage lights behind him to make it hard for the kids to properly aim their guns at him. The final battle has this as one of the ways to make it harder for Koro-sensei. It seems to work at first until he stops the blinding flash by throwing dirt. | |

Despite being a seemingly all-powerful tentacled creature, Koro-sensei has many, many weaknesses, most of which are comical for someone like him to have (he panics and gets flustered easily, he's a horndog, he can't move if all his tentacles are pinned down, etc.). Much later in Chapter 140, we learn that he actually became Willfully Weak, to atone for his destructive rampage which inadvertently led to Aguri's death, as well as to best pursue his goal of teaching Class 3-E in Aguri's stead. | |

Your Size May Vary: Often used artistically to emphasize the David vs. Goliath aspect of the fights between Class E and their opponents. Very prominent with Nagisa and Takaoka. Sometimes they would be drawn close to their actual relative proportions, and sometimes Takaoka would look twice as tall as Nagisa. The foreign exchange students participating in the Bo-Taoshi challenge do NOT look the same age as middle-schoolers. They seem to grow in size as the match progresses. | |

Wham Episode | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Chapter 59 ends with half of the students discovering that they have been poisoned, with the culprit demanding that they bring Koro-Sensei, who is immobilized and cannot help them, to a hotel if they want to get the cure. Chapter 68 reveals the mastermind of the student's poisoning to be none other than Takaoka. Chapter 128, which contains the biggest plot twist in the entire series. The event triggers a series of wham episodes that contain major plot revelations that had been a mystery up until that point. You'll never look at Kayano the same way again. Amazingly, the twist actually seems to come out of nowhere...until you go back and realize that the author was laying out some very subtle clues. The following chapter follows suit with the revelation that Kayano's name isn't even Kaede Kayano. It's Akari Yukimura and she's actually the younger sister of Aguri Yukimura, class E's former teacher and the woman from Koro-sensei's past. Chapter 133 reveals that Koro-sensei was the Reaper before the one Class 3-E, Karasuma and Irina defeated earlier. Chapter 134 might be the Whammiest yet: Koro-sensei's human form is shown for the first time, and Shiro was one of the scientists experimenting on him. Also, the Reaper defeated by Karasuma used to be an apprentice of Koro-sensei, who is implied to be the assassin who murdered his father. Chapter 138 is another big Wham: Koro-sensei did not actually destroy the Moon. It was caused by one of Shiro's experiments, where he injected a mouse with antimatter organs to see what would happen if it died of natural causes. Turns out, not only does the procedure significantly shorten the subject's lifespan, but when an antimatter enhanced being naturally dies, it creates a massively destructive antimatter chain reaction. Koro-sensei's lifespan will end on March 13, suggesting that he wants Class E to kill him to prevent the inevitable disaster. Chapter 164: The beginning of the end. The government has a Kill Sat that can kill Koro-sensei and they've trapped him on the mountain until they can fully charge it. They've also exposed Koro-sensei to the public in order to demonize him as the monster who held Class E as hostages. Chapter 173: Kayano gets stabbed through by the second God of Death. And Korosensei is not happy. | |

In the end, Shiro/Yanagisawa, the Mad Scientist who was behind most of the misfortune in the series, is left a vegetable while his antimatter experiments are officially outlawed, while Asano Sr. is forced to resign after his school's discriminatory policies are leaked into the public. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: One of the major challenges that every student (and assassin) must overcome is the penalty for failing to kill Koro-sensei: he will remember each plan, learn from it, and make sure he will never fall for the same trick twice. Fortunately, he has a hard time overcoming his weaknesses, which the students utilize to their advantage repeatedly. This is also how Koro-sensei and Karasuma figure out that Takaoka is the mastermind behind the Assassination Island arc. The man is a soldier, not an assassin, and thus used the assassins under his employ as lookouts and guards instead of, you know, assassins. | |

During the final arc, the mountains where the classes have been held is protected by an elite squad of the world's best soldiers. However, they are not familiar with the territory, and are not as well-trained in stealth and coordination. After all, Class E has been honing their skills and teamwork for a year and know the mountains enough that Karasuma-sensei says they could operate "in there blindfolded". As such, they quickly dispatch most of the soldiers in the mountains with little effort, leaving only their leader, Craig Houjou, left, and even then Class 3-E defeats him by frustrating his attempts to prepare himself, culminating in a Nagisa/Karma combo of a clap stunner and a chokehold. | |

Chainmail Bikini: Irina had initially suggested a sexier, more revealing look when coming up with the design for the female students' new P.E. uniforms. The students complain that the skimpy design would've reduced most of its defensive capabilities to zero. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Nagisa was built up to have a lot of hidden talent. Confirmed in Chapter 41, which reveals that Nagisa has an exceptional talent for assassination. To be specific, his ability to hide such bloodlust that it scares trained soldiers. Nagisa's feminine appearance and talent for reading people are both noted quite early on. Then we learn that his insane mother invoked Dude Looks Like a Lady on him because she wanted a daughter instead, and that his talent for reading people comes from him having to predict her violent mood swings. In Chapter 28, Koro-sensei takes several students to see an American superhero movie, wherein the major Plot Twist involves the Big Bad being revealed to be the heroine's brother. At the end of the chapter we meet Itona, Koro-sensei's Ax-Crazy "younger brother". Or, from another angle, despite being a main character Koro-sensei was built up to be the Big Bad, but its later revealed the true Big Bad is Shiro/Kotar� Yanagisawa. It's later revealed that Shiro was Aguri's fiance, making him Kayano's older brother-in-law. Koro-sensei becomes furious when he sees Itona with tentacles. He was subjected to similar torture experiments by the exact same man. In Chapter 67, Karasuma vaguely recognizes two of the mastermind's minions because he had seen them before in Takaoka's photographs of the soldiers he had previously trained, foreshadowing the mastermind's identity. The Reaper is holding a rose and a bouquet of flowers when he's first described by Lovro. He first appears to the students of Class E as an unassuming flower salesman, offers Kanzaki a rose, and sells them a bouquet of flowers for Irina's birthday before the story reveals his identity. In Chapter 90, Koro-sensei says that the only ikemens (hot guys) in the class are Isogai, and himself. Come Chapter 134, we see he was actually a fairly good-looking man. Chapter 128 is one long flashback of all the hints throughout the previous chapters foreshadowing that Kayano has tentacles like Koro-sensei and Itona. For example, Shiro says that the "monster" in Class E averted their eyes as soon as they saw him. | |

Blaming the Victim | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_9d5dad72 | comment |
Blaming the Victim: Kunugigaoka divides third-year students into A, B, C, D and E classes based on grades, with the Class E students having the lowest grades and being placed in a separate campus away from the main school with sub-par resources. No concessions are made for students no matter their reasons for having poor grades, meaning many of the Class E students are perfectly intelligent and capable, yet are essentially punished for circumstances out of their control. | |

Continuity Nod: Chapter 180.1 is explicitly stated to take place during Class 3-E's winter break — specifically, between Chapters 141-142, as Koro-sensei states to one of his would-be assassins that his students are busy "solving their homework" (i.e., meditating on what to do about Koro-sensei after learning of his Dark and Troubled Past). | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Lovro's "secret killing technique" is designed to turn the tide of a battle between a skilled combatant and an assassin to the latter's favor. It's extremely effective, but only works under very specific conditions. He teaches it to Nagisa, who eventually uses it to defeat Takaoka during their rematch at the climax of the Assassination Island arc. And when the Reaper demonstrates his advanced version of the technique, it's revealed that pulling it off at just the right moment will paralyze the opponent for a few minutes. It's appropriately dubbed the "clap stunner". | |

Mood Whiplash | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The series' silly, comedic tone can swerve into a much darker one when you least expect it to. Taken up a notch in the anime adaptation, which makes even the minor silly and dramatic moments contrast each other to a greater degree than their manga counterparts. Chapter 60 changes things up a bit when a fun and interesting day at the beach ends with a couple of students suddenly collapsing onto the floor and coughing up blood. Chapter 75, which features the class' attempt at shipping Irina with Karasuma, fluctuates from hilarious to tragic, and back again. Chapter 83 is a comedy chapter about Koro-Sensei being framed as a Panty Thief. Then it turns out to be a set-up for Shiro and Itona making another elaborate and dramatic attempt to kill Koro-Sensei, which ends with Shiro dismissing Itona when he fails to do the job and leaving him to die. Chapter 98 has the main cast showing Koro-Sensei their newly-acquired equipment, skills and resolve (while ruining his relaxation time, but he doesn't mind). Meanwhile, the God of Death kills Red Eye, and Irina is next on his list. The light-hearted Valentine's Day arc and the subsequent chapters are followed by the government stepping in and executing their final plan to end Koro-sensei's life once and for all. An in-universe example after Korosensei's death, immediately after the spoilered event, Class E enters their classroom and finds that Koro-sensei left them each a ridiculously oversized scrapbook/guidebook. By the time that morning comes, the entire class is too tired out by both the length and Korosensei's commentary to be sad anymore. | |

Parental Neglect | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_a54534a0 | comment |
The entire reason Nagisa is capable of reading people so easily with a single glance is because he had to in order to survive his mentally unhinged mother Hiromi, who can go from zero to psycho in the blink of an eye. She also constantly tells him she wishes he was born a girl and makes him grow his hair long, despite the fact that he hates it, which could cast all previous jokes about his androgyny in a harsher light. His father isn't much better, but his is more of the Parental Neglect variant, because despite knowing how violent Hiromi can be, he just pretty much left Nagisa to deal with it alone, only showing up once in a while (though the Graduation Book Time reveals that Nagisa living with his mother is entirely of his own free will). | |

Status Quo Is God | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Enforced by Asano Sr., who developed Kunugigaoka's academic system to give the rest of the school a motive to excel academically. When Koro-sensei tries to defy his system by challenging and motivating Class 3-E, the "terminal section" of the school's worst ninth-graders, to score within the Top 50 on their first midterm exams, Asano Sr. prevents them from excelling by adding several last minute questions to the exam and alerting the entire student body of the change except for Class 3-E. The Chairman takes this up to the next level in Chapter 118 when, after having had enough of Class E garnering respect from the other students in the school, he declares that he's going to pull out all the stops for the finals to ensure that they are crushed once and for all. A straighter example of this trope: One student manages to get a high enough grade to get out of Class 3-E. He returns to the class by the end of his arc after deciding that being in Class A wasn't worth betraying his friends. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All of the chapter and episode titles have the word "time" in them. This can be interpreted as a reminder that Class 3-E only has a whole year to kill Koro-sensei before he blows up Earth, as well as an alternate reading on "class period" (some chapters even have the exact same title as a previous chapter with the phrase "2nd Hour" added to the end of it, befitting with the series' school theme). | |

Myth Arc: Though the plot's objective (kill Koro-sensei and save the world) is spelled out from the get-go, the story is divided into several short, episodic arcs that can stand alone like the ones found in a typical slice-of-life manga. However, there's enough foreshadowing, continuity, and other little details to tie them all together and consistently hint at a greater, overlying mystery which is ultimately revealed in the last quarter of the series. | |

Scare 'Em Straight: Parodied. Koro-sensei draws a short comic that is presented as if it were this to Kataoka to warn her that she may grow up to be dangerously codependent if she does not learn to stand up for her own needs more. It's much funnier in the manga than how it is described here. | |

Karma has to be held back with difficulty by two kids who remarked that he's "incredibly strong". Nagisa, who is tiny and the epitome of Weak, but Skilled, is easily restrained by one. One of Korosensei's biggest weaknesses is that, although he can move at Mach 20, he is physically weak and can be restrained if all of his tentacles are held down by, say, an entire classroom of students. The issue with this, of course, is that he can simply move out of the way before anyone can pin him down. Of course, if he's been exhausted by a battle and is now too weak to move... | |

Principal Asano is one of the emotional variety to his son Gakushuu, needing little prompting to rattle about how all of his son's plans ended up in failures. Gakushuu usually responds in kind but it's clear his father terrifies him sometimes (just look at Gakushuu's face when his father beats up the foreign students who were defending him.). Also, Gakushuu's been slapped by his father at least once (by pointing out how his plans ended in failure, ironically enough). | |

Loophole Abuse | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Koro-sensei promises a free shot at one of his tentacles to anyone who can earn the top score on one of the subjects tested on the first final exam. Although three students earn a high score on a subject exam, Koro-sensei only starts to panic when four more earn perfect scores on Home Economics, which he completely forgot about because it's generally not considered one of the five main subjects. As lampshaded by Koro-sensei, the government used one to enlist Ritsu into the class. By giving a killing machine an AI and virtual face based on a teenage girl, they were able to register it as a student, and thus unable to be harmed by Koro-sensei. Ritsu herself exploited the trope when her creators reset her. The procedure removed all of Koro-sensei's upgrades which were deemed unnecessary for assassination, but Ritsu autonomously decided that the ability for empathy and friendship with the rest of Class E was vital for a successful assassination, and thus non-removable. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: In two phases, covering Chapters 179-180: The first half of Chapter 179 focuses on the immediate aftermath of Koro-sensei's death at the hands of Class 3-E. Shiro/Yanagisawa survives being blown away into the anti-tentacle barrier, but the damage to his tentacle-infused body has left him a vegetable, while his experiments have been finally canned by the government. Public outrage over revelations of Kunugigaoka's discriminatory policies forced Asano Sr. to step down, though he not only seems to have anticipated it, but also sees it as an opportunity to start anew. Class 3-E used part of their reward to support their later education, donate to some acquaintances, and buy the entire mountain they used to call their classroom, while the rest was returned to the government. The latter half of Chapter 179 and the entirety of Chapter 180 fast-forwards to seven years later. The moon has collapsed and coalesced again into a spherical form while it was pulled closer by Earth's gravity, implicitly normalizing the tides to pre-explosion levels. Karasuma and Irina are now married and work together as counterterrorist agents. And by the looks of it, Class 3-E's alumni have utilized everything they learned to lead successful and meaningful lives — Ritsu is now a fully-sentient being, Okano the leader of a university athletics club (which uses her old turf as training grounds), Kurahashi an ecotourist guide (using the same mountain for explorations), Takebayashi and Okuda developers of universal artificial blood, Sugino a college baseball superstar, Terasaka an apprentice to a powerful politician, Yoshida, Muramatsu and Itona inheritors to their family businesses, Nakamura a university student in London, Hazama a librarian, Kanzaki a caregiver, Sugaya an experimental artist, Karma an aspiring statesman, Kayano has returned to showbiz and is currently starring in a popular drama, and Nagisa is now teacher to a class of delinquents, while the rest are implied to be most likely finishing their education and starting new careers as well — even as they never forget to keep in contact with each other. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
The live action movie duology had to massively streamline the manga's story in order to fit into a combined 4 hours of runtime; thus, numerous story arcs and characters such as Asano Jr., the Five Virtuosos, Smog, Grip, Gastro, Nagisa's mother, and the Reaper are omitted. Chairman Asano is also Demoted to Extra in the first movie, and is absent in the second movie altogether. Weirdly enough, unlike in the anime, Craig Houjou does appear in the second movie. | |

Gendered Outfit: When the students get their new, militaristic, "PE uniforms" at the end of volume 11, the boys' outfit is ordinary baggy combat gear, while the girls' is a cropped jacket and Lara Croft-style shorts over a skintight spandex unitard. Justified since Irina designed the girls' outfit (and it turns out that her preferred design was incredibly Stripperiffic, but she and Karasuma compromised). | |

Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_bac9f95d | comment |
Sweet Tooth: Tentacled beings such as Koro-sensei (who is also a Genius Sweet Tooth), Itona, and Kayano are all shown to have preferences towards sweets. Extra info in the manga's volume releases justifies this by stating that someone with tentacles will require a ton of energy to maintain them, thus they'll naturally be drawn towards foods high in carbs and sugar. Additionally, the Reaper is sometimes shown eating a chocolate bar, and in a twist of fate, he becomes a tentacled being in the finale himself. | |

Later it is revealed that the explosion was caused by a lab rat put in there by Koutarou Yanagisawa, the same scientist who turned him into what he is now as an experiment to test the effects of aging on antimatter cells, which went awry as the cells actually accelerated the aging and created a violent reaction upon the host's death. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Justified during the civil war among Class 3-E. The students are divided over whether they should kill Koro-sensei or try to find a way to save him, so they decide to play a game of paintball to decide their stance on the issue. The game ends up being a one-on-one showdown between Nagisa and Karma. Nagisa is in a position where he can just snipe Karma, who's in an open field and goads Nagisa into fighting him in close combat. Nagisa ultimately accepts the challenge rather than snipe Karma, because if he won through such an underhanded method, the class wouldn't accept the result and still be divided. The fight ends with Nagisa restraining Karma and overpowering him, but Karma has a free hand and is close enough to his painted knife to grab it and beat Nagisa. Karma doesn't go for his knife and accepts his loss for the same reason Nagisa didn't snipe him. | |

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: In a verbal manner. In Chapter 3 / Season 1 Episode 2, in an attempt to look cool to his students, Koro-sensei pulls up the class tulips to replace their anti-sensei weapons with. However, it backfires, and as punishment, he was forced to replant the flower bed at regular speed, and later be the subject of an assassination rally with him dangling from a tree branch like a piñata while the students take shots at him. | |

Significant Name Shift: Karma and Nagisa refer to each other by their first names as Nagisa's parents are separated so he doesn't want any confusion and Karma just likes his name. However, they add on suffixes when talking to each other, demonstrating they aren't that close. It turns out that Karma has always sensed Nagisa's bloodlust and distanced himself from his friend out of fear. Once they resolve their issues, the two drop the suffixes to show their closeness. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: In the A House Divided situation both groups of students have a good reason for their choice. The group that wants to save Koro-sensei thinks they can't kill him after all they've been through and should therefore try to save him and the world. The group that wants to still try to kill him is worried about what happens if they cannot find a way to save Koro-sensei and the fact that by killing him they'd be following his own expressed wishes. | |

Hope Spot: After their return from space, Nagisa and Karma use the data provided by the astronauts from the International Space Station to learn that Koro-sensei is at far less risk than the mouse which destroyed the moon due to his sheer size, and has already taken a silicone solution earlier used which stacked on top of it, thus meaning that Koro-sensei's chances to explode on March 13th is barely minuscule. Too bad the government is not willing to risk the chance, and the students have to kill Koro-sensei anyways. At least Koro-sensei went out on his own terms. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Koro-sensei and Asano Sr. both look quite distinct from any other character. Most characters are your basic anime designs, drawn with rounded lines and uneven hair. It goes without saying that Koro-sensei, being a tentacle monster, has a unique entirely rounded appearance. Asano Sr. is more subtly strange, but his design also feels off compared to (other) humans. He is incredibly angular and sharp-looking, and his clothes have noticeably fewer creases and wrinkles. The contrast between the two is probably intentional, to match their opposing roles in the story. | |

Professional Killer | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_c601fc37 | comment |
Professional Killer: The students of the titular Assassination Classroom are mere middle school students with no prior experience in the killing arts. They have only one target: Koro-sensei, their nigh-invulnerable homeroom teacher who's hell-bent on destroying the world at the end of the year. Irina, a professional Honey Trap assassin, becomes the students' foreign language teacher after her initial attempt on Koro-sensei's life fails miserably. While the Assassination Classroom increasingly become better in assassinations, none of the students are actual professional assassins and never become as such. The series introduces several actual professional assassins who are much more skilled than the class, with each of them having particular quirks. The only reason why they far worse than Class 3-E is because they are too unfamiliar with Koro-sensei and lack combined teamwork of 28 people to do the job right. Among all professional assassins, the best is the legendary assassin nicknamed God of Death, who has ever successfully killed their target. While the God of Death introduced in the series failed to kill any of his targets on-screen (as the first two are revealed to be alive), it turns out that he was merely the apprentice of the first God of Death and stole his title after betraying him. The original God of Death was none other than Koro-sensei in his human life. | |

This was subverted when it was revealed that Gastro, Grip and Smog withheld using the plague in favor of a relatively harmless stomach flu that will eventually wear off because they only had to make the students think that they would die, and they didn't want the stigma of killing middle-school kids on their reputation, even if it meant defying Takaoka, their psychopathic employer. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: The relative success of any assassination attempt on Koro-sensei's life is inversely proportional to how many pages are spent explaining the plan. The most successful attempts, such as Nagisa's suicide attack, most of Shiro's schemes, and the assassination on the vacation island are never fully explained to the reader in advance. Takaoka's master plan: Humiliate and beat a student into submission during a "fair fight" using cruel physical and psychological tactics. The details of this scheme take about two chapters to fully explain. Meanwhile, Nagisa, the intended victim, is forced to wing it. Guess who wins the fight? Nagisa explains his tactics in exhaustive detail during his second fight with Takaoka. But the trope is subverted, as his plan proceeds to go off without a hitch. | |

Screw the Rules, They're Not Real! | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_cab89481 | comment |
Screw the Rules, They're Not Real!: Given the students are underdogs with below-par resources, they resort to breaking the rules frequently. In the first episode, Korosensei threatens to harm his students' families and loved ones if they ever do something reckless like suicide bombing ever again, as nothing protects them from him. Subverted early on when Nagisa fears Korosensei is trying to kill Sugino, since despite having an agreement with the government not to harm the students, there's nothing and no one who can stop him from just breaking the rules. Luckily, Korosensei turns out to have been analyzing Sugino, not performing murder. During the pole toppling event, Class E is up against Class A, and must win or Asano will get Isogai expelled for having a job. Unfortunately Class A has a massive advantage in numbers and several well-built exchange students, so Isogai has his team defy every rule not directly stated in the rule book- using their own pole as a weapon, playing dead and charging into the stands. In the end, their unorthodox methods beat Asano's careful strategy. Karma goes up against Grip for a fist fight. However, despite claiming they both want to fight with their hands, neither play fairly and both use Smog's gas, though Karma wins as he predicted Grip would use underhanded methods and surprises him with his own canister of poison. During a game of cops and robbers, rather than try to sneak past Korosensei to get to the jail and free their classmates, the students simply bribe him into letting them go. Karasuma is not pleased. While playing baseball, Class A decides to all stand in the infield which shouldn't fly, but the umpire happens to be on their side and doesn't call them on it. Class E then realizes the rules don't really matter at this point and utilizes intimidation tactics by standing a few feet away from the batter. Korosensei himself, aside from the whole "destroy the planet in a year" thing, does not kill or significantly injure anyone, at least onscreen. Other assassins have no such restrictions, so they often take advantage of Korosensei's inability to retaliate by mercilessly abusing his desire to protect his students. | |

Deus Exit Machina: During the Assassination Island arc, the students force Koro-sensei into his ultimate defense mode, in which he is rendered immobile for 24 hours. When Takaoka and his hitmen attack the class, the remaining 15 students and the other two teachers have to handle the situation by themselves. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_cc427069 | comment |
Hard Work Hardly Works: Played with. While Karma is the smartest and most naturally talented kid in class, not studying drops his rank from 4th in the school to 13th. Sure, 13th in an entire school without studying is no small feat, but everyone knows Karma can do better, especially himself. Averted with Terasaka. He's not that bright and even he admits it, but by the end of the series has learned enough to allow him to do well enough on tests to get 46th place in the school and as he tells Itona, he learns from every failure. Sure he's still last in the class, but the improvement is still huge. He also works out a fairly complicated probability problem in his head when Principal Asano asks him to during his attempt to kill Koro-sensei with a challenge involving grenades in textbooks. | |

Self-Mutilation Demonstration: When the students doubt the effectiveness of their guns' anti-sensei bullets, Koro-sensei takes a gun and shoots one of his own tentacles off to prove that he had in fact dodged the entire class' barrage of fire; the tentacle fully regenerates itself a few seconds later. He later repeats it when showing the students how lost tentacles restrict his movement speed. | |

Whenever Koro-sensei and the class have a "sinister" plan at the end of a chapter, everyone makes the same Nightmare Face, with a single student as an exception. This also applies to other kinds of group faces, and in both cases the student with the different face is usually (but not always) Nagisa, who instead either has a meek smile or bored look. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Though there are still many moments of comedy, as the series reaches its last half, the tone gradually gets darker, with Koro-sensei's explosion looming on the horizon. Notable incidents include the raid on the Fukuma Palace Hotel to find an antidote for an (apparently) lethal virus that has affected some of the students and the first appearance of the Reaper. Then things get bleaker with the revelations of Kayano's true identity and Koro-sensei's tragic past, leading to internal strife which led to a civil war game. Then, after a brief respite with the Valentine's Day arc, the government, implicitly under the thrall of Shiro/Yanagisawa, concocts a failsafe plan to assassinate Koro-sensei, forcing the class to go through with their deal with Koro-sensei and finally kill him. Even the opening themes between both seasons reflect the shifting tone — cheerful in the first, melancholy in the second. | |

Mundane Made Awesome | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: The extensive use of visual metaphors does a fine job of making ordinary actions come to life. Exam questions are depicted as bizarre, gigantic monsters which the students need to conquer or slay. In the first midterms, they're just Dire Beasts. In the first finals, they've become armored giants, tanks and such. By the second finals, they've gone all the way to Eldritch Abominations. The kids are armed not with writing utensils, but with knives, hammers, swords, and staves. Taking a test has never been so epic. One chapter manages to visually equate the act of clapping in front of someone's face to ruin their concentration to a nuclear explosion in a city. Played for Laughs after the students discover an incredibly valuable mushroom (a completely ordinary matsutake) while scavenging their mountain for foodstuffs. It emits a glorious light that's painful to look at and a dramatic wind that manages to blow one of the students away. | |

Bullet Catch: Being able to move at Mach 20, Koro-sensei does this frequently. In the first chapter, he catches a bullet from Nakamura using two pieces of chalk. During the Kyoto field trip, he somehow manages to catch Red Eye's sniper bullet using a piece of yatsuhashi — a soft confectionery made with glutinous rice flour. In the Episode 0 OVA, Karasuma attempts to assassinate Koro-sensei by shooting at him, but the latter manages to avoid the bullets thanks to his speed, and even catches one of them with his bare tentacle. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: During the baseball game between Class E and the Baseball Club, in the second inning the latter use the same batting strategy the former used in the first, so Class E uses the same defensive strategy the Club used in the second inning during the third — and the umpire cannot say anything, since he allowed it earlier. Shiro suffers this when he injects himself with tentacle cells in order to directly combat Korosensei. This proves to be his downfall when he is knocked into an anti-sensei barrier and is nearly completely disintegrated. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: The "secret killing technique" is essentially fueled by this trope. The first step is to do something completely insane to get the enemy's attention (like dropping your weapon). The second is to completely ruin the enemy's concentration by clapping. The reasoning is that doing this buys you enough time to change a battle of attrition (soldier) into a surprise attack (assassin). | |

Action Bomb: Deconstructed in the very first chapter, when Nagisa tries to blow up Koro-sensei at point-blank range using a makeshift pellet grenade hidden around his neck. This makes Koro-sensei absolutely furious, even though he (and Nagisa, for that matter) escapes unscathed. Surprisingly, he isn't outraged over the fact that he was almost duped by a mere student—in fact, he praises the plan for its ingenuity and Nagisa in particular for flawlessly executing it. What disgusted Koro-sensei was that Terasaka, the student who came up with the plan, coerced Nagisa into doing it for him despite the high risk of the boy getting injured in the process. | |

Cruel Mercy: It's unclear whether Nagisa realizes this, but his finishing move against Takaoka counts as this. Even as it's happening, he knows that he'll never get Nagisa's smile out of his nightmares. It may have been kinder to just kill him. | |

Diegetic Switch: The short opens with Ave Maria playing in the background, as Karasuma approaches the room Koro-sensei is held up in. Then it's revealed that the piece was playing through a speaker inside Koro-sensei's holding, and the speaker is turned off after Karasuma enters the room. | |

Goroawase Number | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_e23cfd5c | comment |
Goroawase Number: Koro-sensei is sometimes associated with the number 56 (which can be pronounced as "Ko-ro"). His baseball uniform has "56" on the back, and one Imagine Spot of Koro-sensei and Itona together has the former holding a board with "56" written on it. Also, in the same Imagine Spot, Itona holds a board with "1107" (1-10-7, "I-to-na") on it. | |

Animal Motifs | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: Creepy Centipedes for the Chairman and his son, a metaphor of their controlling nature. Koro-sensei with octopods, since both are slithery intelligent tentacled creatures. This one is often invoked by Koro-sensei himself, as he sometimes draws himself as an octopus when grading his students' papers, among other things. Nagisa with a snake, as a metaphor of his ability to hide murderous intent in plain sight. | |

We Need a Distraction | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_e43b42ea | comment |
We Need a Distraction: Phase 1 of Class 3-E's revenge plot against the students who bullied Maehara: Nagisa and Kayano, disguised as an elderly couple, distract the bullies at a cafe while Hayami and Chiba sneak homemade laxatives into their drinks. When it seems like Koro-sensei is about to discover Kataoka's plan to assassinate him in the water, Nagisa steps in to take advantage of his weaknesses ("he's very worried about appearances") by taunting him about some fan-letters to a big-breasted actress he found on Koro-sensei's desk. The Assassination Island arc employed this trope several times. Makes sense, since they need to advance quietly to their goal on the top floor of a hotel. Irina uses her feminine wiles to distract a group of guards to buy time for her students; Kimura insults two guards to make them chase him. | |

No Endor Holocaust: Korosensei blows up most of the Moon. This does not affect life on Earth in any way. Tidal patterns continue normally as well. It is ultimately a downplayed example, as a newspaper early on mentions the problems come from the moon and in the finale things finally begin to settle as the moon collapses and become closer to Earth, eventually making the Earth's system returns to normal. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Throughout the short, the usually goofy Koro-sensei has a menacing, deep tone to his voice that doesn't ever let up. Additionally, after Koro-sensei defeats Karasuma at the end, the usually stoic government agent smiles, comments on how handsome the former is, and hugs him happily. It's later revealed that the whole short is made up by Koro-sensei himself, hence the OOC moments and the self-ego boost. | |

Exact Words | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Used with Koro-sensei's teaching agreement with the government, which is not to harm any of the students. Right in the beginning, after Terasaka nearly made Nagisa an anti-sensei suicide bomber, Koro-sensei warns them not to do something like this again, threatening them that just because he is banned from hurting them doesn't mean he's also banned from hurting their closest relations. Because Ritsu, a military machine designed to assassinate Koro-sensei with the AI interface of a middle-school girl, is also enrolled as a student, Koro-sensei also has no recourse against her. He even points out that the government is exploiting a loophole in their agreement. However, it gets reversed when the class, fed up with her assassination attempts interrupting their lessons, retaliate via Terasaka duct taping her gun ports shut, as they can interfere. Koro-sensei then decides helping Ritsu go beyond her programming isn't "harm", exploiting it further in the class's and his favor. Ritsu herself exploits this trope: after her creators discovered she's been upgraded by Koro-sensei, they decided to reset her back to her default settings, stating that everything not related to assassinating Koro-sensei must be deleted. However, Ritsu autonomously decided that the ability for empathy and friendship with the Class E students was absolutely vital for a successful assassination, and therefore non-removable. Koro-sensei agrees to let the students shoot one tentacle for each of them that takes the top spot in the first term exams. Cue Terasaka, Muramatsu, Yoshida and Hazama taking the joint top spot in home economics (which is not in the primary five subjects accounted for by the school rankings), allowing them to make one shot each. At the end of the Assassination Island arc, the class celebrates Nagisa defeating Takaoka, but were concerned that he didn't leave enough antidote to treat the sick students. Then, they're interrupted by the three hitmen he had hired, which said that they don't need no more antidote. Turns out they were telling the truth; Smog had poisoned the students with a milder toxin which will dissipate by itself in a few hours, instead of the more dangerous one Takaoka asks him to use. Koro-sensei explains that he will blow up the Earth next March, and invites anyone to try and assassinate him. As it turns out, this isn't a mere threat; his antimatter body will involuntarily explode on March 13 of next year if he isn't killed by then. | |

Crossover: In Chapter 15.5, Koro-sensei and Kusuo Saiki visit Iruma and compete over the last piece of "Irumanjuu", a local delicacy. Saiki eventually splits it in half and shares it with Koro-sensei. Saiki also makes a cameo in Episode 10 of season 2 (the school festival), alongside Tetsuya Kuroko, visiting Class 3-E's restaurant. Chapter 116.5 of Food Wars! features Erina hosting a banquet for Irina and fellow Jump heroines Nami, Chitoge Kirisaki, Kagura, Chika Amatori, and Kiyoko Shimizu. It goes just as well as well as you'd expect from such a series like Shokugeki no Soma (except for Chika who, of course, is still a child). | |

Technician Versus Performer: The story flips the normal 'performer good, technician bad' attitude with Karma and Nagisa. The two of them have been compared a few times and at least once by Karma himself. He muses that he's faster, stronger, smarter and more skilled than Nagisa in essentially all categories, but he's too much of a showboat to make a proper assassin. Nagisa, the technician, is quiet, looks harmless and is sometimes mistaken for a weak girl, but he's also capable of "killing" casually, looking completely innocent and meek until he's already struck. He's basically mastered the most important skills for an assassin. | |

He also disguises himself as a baseball and uses his color changing abilities to give his team instructions without the other team noticing.

Scary Symbolic Shapeshifting: Karma is known for being a terrifying Sociopathic Hero and Bully Hunter with a liking for violence. He's occasionally portrayed as having Hellish Pupils when he's angry and characters frequently imagine him having demon horns or a tail. Played with. Nagisa is actually a pretty decent guy, but can be quite terrifying due to his talent for assassination and bloodlust. Often when characters sense his killing intent or become afraid of him, he's seen as a snake or reptilian monster. | |

Dustbin School: The protagonists' class is where all the problem students are dumped so the other students can feel better about themselves and work hard to avoid going there. When they actually get better at school work, the school staff actively keeps them down and publicly humiliates them. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Everyone in Class 3-E, plus Irina and Karasuma, get to go on to be happier, more confident people, each having found a fulfilling career and maintaining their friendships even years after graduation, showing they didn't undergo a year's worth of trouble (and several years' worth of bullying even before Koro-sensei showed up) for nothing. Even Koro-sensei earns his Bittersweet Ending; he does die, but he does so on his own terms, and he gets to reunite with Aguri, having spent a year honoring her last wish and leaving the world better than when he found it. | |

Running Gag | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Discovering or displaying Koro-sensei's weaknesses. Koro-sensei's poor disguises. Koro-sensei being tricked by his students into comedic situations. Poking fun at Nagisa's androgynous appearance. Kayano's hatred for big boobs as well as her lack of chest. Karma's tube of wasabi. Terasaka's lack of book smarts compared to the rest of the class. Irina's failed attempts at Fanservice. Whenever Koro-sensei and the class have a "sinister" plan at the end of a chapter, everyone makes the same Nightmare Face, with a single student as an exception. This also applies to other kinds of group faces, and in both cases the student with the different face is usually (but not always) Nagisa, who instead either has a meek smile or bored look. | |

Weird Moon: It is a permanent crescent with overly long horns, thanks to Koro-sensei blowing up 70% of it in the beginning. | |

The Loan Shark in the "Extra Class" story is incredibly repulsive-looking. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
Assassination Classroom (Manga) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Koro-Sensei moving around at several times the speed of sound should cause immense winds that would swiftly destroy the classroom and everything in it, but usually it only makes the students' hair flutter. It's stated in the series that Mach 20 is "twice the speed of sound". Mach 1 is the speed of sound, so Mach 20 would be twenty times faster. | |

Gondor Calls for Aid: During the school festival, Class E initially has trouble attracting enough customers to their ramen restaurant to compete with Class A. By taking advantage of their personal connections, the students manage to rack up a gigantic clientele, comprised of both total strangers and characters the students have previously met throughout the series, friend and foe alike (including some thought to have been killed off). | |

Shown Their Work: The BB guns and the live ammo weapons used in the series are based off of real-world firearms. Both the manga and the anime pay very close attention to details to both the artwork and the animation. The covers of Shonen Jump seen in the anime are drawn to look exactly like those seen in recent issues. Episode 0 and Episode 11 feature Ryotsunote Issue #46: October 11th, 2014 and Usoppnote Issue #10: January 26th, 2015, respectively. The technique Lovro taught Nagisa basically amounts to clapping in a heated battle. The point is to disrupt the enemy's concentration for a moment through the noise as they would not expect such a move, and leave him open for another sneak attack. The Reaper developed this further, not only disrupting concentration, but utterly shattering the psyche. This technique seems silly yet effective at first, but is actually based on a real sumo technique known as nekodamashi, which operates upon the same principle: temporarily break the enemy's concentration to create an opening. | |
