Everyday chitchat is actually quite simple.
I'm sure you all know that one person
whose conversations mostly consist of "maji great" and "maji bad."
"Maji" here can be expressed with the old standby "really."
Kimura, you try.
Nope: awful. Your L's and R's are a mess.
The pronunciation of L and R doesn't jibe well with Japanese people.
I understand what you mean, but it still feels wrong.
Oh... okay.
Don't run from your incompatibilities--master them!
I'll be checking your pronunciation regularly from now on,
and if you screw up your L's and R's...
I'll punish you with a French kiss in public.
The theory... of savage youth!
I only speak when it's time to act
I know that's pretty cool
(Searching for our target: we're savage)
Our feelings stray-- they get lost, but move forward
Maybe we're only halfway helpless
What's this wave of irritation?
Proof of our existence?
Look up at the moon and up you go
C'mon now: C-c'mon k-kill c-c'mon --start!
Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag
The breakthrough you whispered about is finally worth a shout
Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag (you can do it if you try)
Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag (I know you can)
"Whatever" is easy to say
But I want to struggle now, I want to burst with you
But still: youth, to the future!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! The theory of savage youth!
"Episode 10: L and R Time"
Man! Teaching is such a pain.
But the students seem to be taking to you.
Am I supposed to be proud of that? I'm an assassin!
I'm stuck here while I try to kill that octopus!
And speaking of that octopus...
he's gazing at my boobs while elegantly sipping tea!
Real-life lessons drawn from experience--how marvelous!
Oh, shut up!
Calm down. That's the kind of target he is.
Shit! I won't stand for this!
She's certainly riled up.
All thanks to a certain someone.
I can't afford to get bogged down here.
But how on earth can I kill that...
A snare trap? Why?!
What a surprise, Irina.
Seeing you play teacher with those children...
It was like the setup for a comedy sketch.
S-Sir!
What are you doing?
That's not very ladylike.
Don't worry.
She knows how to free herself.
Hey, who are you?
Do you even understand what I'm saying?
Pardon me. Japanese is just fine. I'm not suspicious, I assure you.
What if I said I'm the one who worked with your government
to bring in Irina Jelavich?
Lovro the assassin!
Once known as a skilled killer, now retired.
Makes a fortune training up younger assassins and getting them hired.
He's proven crucial for Japan's government,
which knows nothing of assassins.
But why is he here?
Where is this Koro Sensei right now?
He went to Shanghai for some almond jelly.
He left a half-hour ago, so he should be back soon.
Seems this creature lives up to the hype.
I'm glad I came--now I have my answer.
Irina, you're off the case.
You can't handle this job.
When it comes to undercover jobs, you have no equal.
But once your identity is revealed, you're worthless as an assassin.
I know I can do it, sir! I have what it takes!
That was fast!
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
Call this your... L and R.
You're half right, anyway.
What are you doing here, Game Show?
What a mean nickname! Just call me "Koro Sensei" already.
It's you.
It's true that, as an assassin, she's hardly to be feared.
She's crap.
Who's crap?!
But, as an assassin, she's a good fit for this classroom.
Let's hold a kill-off, and you'll see
who's the better assassin.
This will be between you two.
The rules are simple: Whoever kills Mr. Karasuma first wins!
Hey, wait! Why am I the victim here?!
Because nobody can kill me, of course!
You have all day tomorrow.
I see. A sham assassination, eh?
All right. Sounds like a fun diversion.
Suit yourself.
Are you trying to stick up for me?
You must think I'd be much easier to handle than any new assassin
Mr. Lovro would bring in!
Well, I'll show you! I'll kill Karasuma and you myself!
...And there you have it. Expect some disruptions today,
though your classes should remain unaffected.
Carry on as you usually do.
Will Mr. Karasuma ever catch a break?
Oh, Mr. Karasuma!
Great work today! You must be thirsty! Have a nice cold drink!
Go on, knock it right back! It's delicious!
Something's in there.
Something's definitely in there.
Probably a muscle relaxant. She'll immobilize, then stab me.
Look, I wouldn't even let you get close enough to give it to me.
Oh, hang on.
I'll put it here.
Owie!
--I will not! --Carry me piggyback, Karasuma! Piggyback!
Have you no shame, my idiot apprentice?
Professor Bitch...
You'd never even fool us with that.
What do you expect?!
There's no natural way to fake-seduce someone you already know!
--A paid escort would be just as awkward --Do you smoke? Of... course you do, Da--I mean, sir.
--if her customer happened to be her father! --Do you smoke? Of... course you do, Da--I mean, sir.
--This is the same thing! --Uh, yeah.
Like we'd know!
Uh-oh--I'd better kill him quick.
With Lovro's skill, he could take down his target in a split second.
What do you think?
Sometimes it can be fun being the kill-ee.
Don't be ridiculous. And what if I dodge them both?
Then I'd give you a chance.
A chance?
I'll stay stock-still in front of you for one second, no matter what.
Assassinate me all you like.
But don't tell those two about it.
If they conspire to cut corners, this'll all be for nothing.
Fine.
"Staff Room"
Head-on?!
You may be skilled, but you seem to think it'd be awful easy
for an assassin retired from old age to kill someone
who'd been in the elite forces until just recently.
He's tough!
Even Lovro can't kill him! Do I have any hope of doing the deed today?
I'm sure you know: if you fail to kill me today...
Why are you so scared?
You can't lose, Professor Irina! Do your best!
My knife can stab five times in one second.
I can't wait.
Sir... your hand...
I suppose I can't kill him like this--not today.
"Kill" Don't give up! You can do it--yes, you can! Go!
Even if I could nail this, Koro Sensei, I still couldn't kill you.
My experience makes that clear.
The same goes for Irina.
I see. Then you've given up.
But... watch Professor Irina through to the end!
Experienced or not, whoever gets the kill is the most skilled assassin.
Whatever you like.
You really think I can hit Karasuma with my knife?
Of course. I don't know what you learned at your teacher's feet...
but I know what you've worked so hard on while you've been here.
For example,
this lingerie you ordered yesterday!
Now that's making an effort!
You octoperv!
Show them what you can do. Mr. Karasuma, your teacher...
and above all, your students.
Hey, check that out, Nagisa.
Yeah, Mr. Karasuma eats lunch there a lot.
And now one woman draws near...
Professor Bitch is going for it!
Do you have a moment, Karasuma?
What now?
This may be a sham assassination, but I'm done playing around.
She has a knife, I see.
She must know that won't work on him. What a fool.
Aw, come on, Karasuma.
I really want to stay here. You know that.
One little poke and it'll be over.
I'll give you something in return.
The best of the best, like you've never had before.
So this is how it is. I steal her knife and that's that.
All right--kill me. Hit me anywhere you like.
Goody!
Mr. Lovro, you've seen Professor Irina teach.
Her style focuses on mastering difficult pronunciation first.
Language-learning is a cycle of challenges and mastery.
Having mastered ten languages, she went on to tackle fearlessly
the entirely new position of teacher-- and mastered that.
Do you think such an expert in challenges and mastery
has done nothing at all since her arrival?
What--
Okay... here I come.
A snare trap!
She got the better of him!
You go, Professor Bitch!
In her own way, she's thinking of the skills she needs to kill me,
challenging and mastering them like they were a foreign language.
Simply looking in this bag will reveal her unseen efforts.
Gotcha!
That was close.
Damn! If this comes down to strength, I'll be out of options!
What do I...
Karasuma?
I want to do it. Can I?
What kind of assassin begs for permission?!
You just don't know when to quit!
That's enough.
I'm not going to spend a whole day entertaining a bad quitter.
She got him!
Wow!
Professor Bitch gets to stay!
It was only a verbal agreement.
I doubt he'd just let me kill him given such a ridiculous bet.
There's a woman who'll wholeheartedly challenge and master
even the things she's no good at.
As her students watch and learn her spirit of challenge,
each of them will progress in their development as assassins.
That's why
if you want to kill me, she needs to be here.
Sir!
What a terrible apprentice...
You'd be better off as a teacher.
Be sure you kill him, Irina.
Of course, sir!
--I did it! --Indecent and arrogant, yet straightforward:
Professor Bitch is our E Class English teacher.
"Afterwards"
Hey, what's with the armor?
In preparation for that one second... just in case.
Aren't you in a good mood, Koro Sensei. Got after-school plans?
Yes: I'm going to Hawaii to see a movie.
It's getting an American premiere-- I've really looked forward to it.
No way! That's cold!
Mach 20 speed was made for times like this!
Sonic Ninja?
Oh, yeah, that superhero flick.
Tell us all about it tomorrow!
Yes, yes, I will.
Well, then, I guess I'll be off.
Koro Sensei!
Please...
...take us with you!
Oh! You like the franchise, do you?
Uh-huh. We've been waiting ages for the sequel.
I didn't expect you to be into superhero movies, Karma.
I like the director, and he rarely handles comic book source material.
I'd like to come, too, Nagisa!
"Pardon the Intrusion"
Pardon the intrusion.
Ritsu... why are you in my phone?
To facilitate information sharing among students,
I downloaded my data onto everyone's cellphones.
Call me "Mobile Ritsu"!
So she can do just about anything, too.
I'd like to take a little trip with Koro Sensei at Mach 20.
Perhaps my camera images can assist in assassination planning.
All right: on the way to the movie,
I'll give you all a taste of my speed!
Hey, Karma? You know, I asked him on a whim...
but what have we gotten ourselves into here?
Yeah, well... actually, we never considered the safety of it all.
Not to worry. I'll accelerate gently so no one gets hurt.
S-So fast!
Fantastic!
I can see the Pacific Ocean!
Huh? There's really not much sound and wind, is there, sir?
Your head is deflecting most of it.
Good observation, Nagisa. The secret's in my skin!
"Illustration"
My head is normally soft, but it hardens up at high pressures.
That way, it can stand up to Mach-speed wind pressure.
You have something quite like my skin in your everyday lives, too.
--First, let's take a look at the phenomenon of dilatancy. --What is this, a lecture? In mid-flight?!
--Mix together water and cornstarch... --Aren't you going to assassinate him, Karma?
I'd think this is your chance.
That's crazy talk, Ritsu. We'd all plop into the Pacific at Mach speed.
Koro Sensei has us right where he wants us.
All we can do is listen quietly.
...and that same dilatancy is put to use in the latest bulletproof vests.
Now you're that much smarter... and the theater is just below.
We made it--all the way to Hawaii, during that lecture!
Whoa! It's cold!
The A/C is always on indoors in Hawaii. Bundle up, now.
Here.
This should be fun. My first time in a theater!
But this is America. They won't have Japanese subtitles.
Think we can get the gist of it?
You'll be fine. You both have good English grades,
and Professor Irina has been working you plenty hard.
Plus, if you put my tentacle to your ear...
I'll explain any unfamiliar words that crop up.
Now do your best--and enjoy the show.
Here, have some soda and popcorn.
Uh-oh--
this is pretty great!
A solitary, troubled hero who must save the world...
Kids our age have always admired that character type,
but what about Koro Sensei?
G... no, H.
He's more into the heroine.
That was great! That cliffhanger really leaves you wanting more!
But making the big boss be the heroine's brother? Pretty clichéd.
Oh, uh... yeah...
I can predict the series' ending by analyzing a thousand Hollywood films!
Shall I?
No, thanks. You two are real party poopers.
Long-lost siblings! What a cruel fate!
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #13: Cries at clichéd scenes"
Hey, what's with him? I thought he was a big boy.
He's been like that all the way home.
Thanks for the day, Koro Sensei.
See you.
Goodbye! Careful on these roads at night.
And write a report on the movie in English by tomorrow.
Aw! You're giving us homework?
It's a small price to pay for a free trip to Hawaii.
What's up, Nagisa?
That was a first. Taking in a lecture over five hours to Hawaii,
watching a movie and then coming home.
You got that right.
What's more,
Koro Sensei took extreme care in keeping you two from harm.
I saw him use his tentacles to avoid wind pressure and dust particles.
What we saw today... that's what Koro Sensei sees all the time.
The more I get to know him,
the more I feel like his life is receding from our view.
Well, I ought to be on my way, too.
I'm meeting Mimura at his house for some math tutoring.
Well? Could you follow him with your eyes?
Good. Then you can kill him.
My... brother?
Yes, your big brother.
And starting tomorrow, your teacher.
Now... let's get some payback for that moon, shall we?
The sun shines, leaving a red afterimage
On the backs of closed eyelids
With notebook and pen in my leather bag
C'mon, let's go walking
I draw and I draw
But they don't get any neater
There's nothing wrong with the paint I've chosen
I still remember the shooting star
I saw last night--I was waiting for...
Hello, shooting star
Hello, shooting star again
She's been waiting
That dreaming girl has been here
All this time, ah ah
Just like she was that day, ah ah
Shine again
