"To: T. Karasuma" "Subject: Message from Special Service HQ"
"Your second transfer student will arrive on 6/15."
"No need for detailed discussions in advance; comply with his attendant's wishes."
"This is our long-awaited favorite."
"Understood."
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 11: Transfer Student Time/2nd Period"
All right, class, time for homeroom.
Please take your seats.
That's... big.
Koro Sensei, your head is approximately 33 percent larger.
Please explain.
Ah.
It's soaked up all this moisture, thanks to the humidity.
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #14: Prone to dampness" It's soaked up all this moisture, thanks to the humidity.
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #14: Prone to dampness" Like uncooked rice!
Now, then...
Mr. Karasuma tells me another transfer student is coming.
Yeah, well, probably another assassin.
I got into a little trouble taking Ritsu too lightly last time.
I won't make that mistake again.
In any case, it'll be nice for you to have someone else on your side.
Hey, Ritsu, have you heard anything?
You know, as a fellow transfer assassin?
Yes, a little.
Originally, he and I were to be introduced together.
I would handle long-range attacks,
and he, close-range combat.
Together, we'd drive Koro Sensei into a corner.
But... those orders were canceled for two reasons.
Huh... What were they?
One, his adjustment took longer than expected.
And two... I lack the capacity to provide him support.
As an assassin, I am overwhelmingly inferior to him.
This coming from Ritsu, who blew off Koro Sensei's finger.
What kind of monster is this guy?
What's with the outfit?
Is that the new kid?
Sorry! Didn't mean to frighten you.
I'm not the new kid--I'm his guardian.
You can call me... "Shiro."
Some guy all in white comes in doing tricks? That'd spook anyone!
Yeah, except maybe Koro Sens--
Koro Sensei, you scaredy-cat!
He's spooked enough to use his liquefy trick!
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #15: Falls for rumors"
Well, Ritsu was telling all those scary stories!
N-Nice to meet you, Mr. Shiro.
And where is our new student?
A pleasure, Koro Sensei.
He's a rather... unique child, in personality and otherwise.
I'll introduce him myself.
He's awfully evasive.
Yes?
Oh, just... you've got good kids here.
I'm sure he'll fit right in.
Now to introduce him:
Hey, Itona!
Come on in.
I won.
I proved that I'm stronger than that classroom wall.
Use the damn door!
That's all that matters... that's all.
Gah, we've got us another handful!
Even Koro Sensei doesn't know how to react!
He's not smiling... not serious...
What's with that half-assed expression?!
Itona Horibe. Please, call him Itona.
A white-clad guardian and a transfer student who's impossible to read.
We're in for some extra-stormy weather.
Say, Itona, something's been bugging me...
You came in from outside, right? Empty-handed?
It's raining buckets out there, yet there's not a drop of rain on you.
You might be the strongest one in this class.
But don't fret.
You're weaker than me, so I won't kill you.
I only want to kill
those who could be stronger than me.
And in this classroom, Koro Sensei,
--"Chew well." --that's you.
Do you mean strong and weak in terms of fighting, Itona?
If it's a trial of strength, you and I aren't even in the same dimension.
Sure, we are.
After all,
we're brothers by blood.
B-B-B-B-B--
"Koro" B-B-B-B-B--
Brothers?!
The loser dies, big brother.
Siblings have no need for cheap tricks.
I will kill you and prove my strength.
We face off after school-- here, in this classroom.
Now hang on, sir! What's this "brother" stuff?!
--Humans and octopuses are nothing alike! --No! No no no!
I haven't the foggiest! I was born and raised an only child!
When I asked my folks for a little brother,
--So, about our standard of living... --things got really awkward!
--Mmm. --Wait--you have parents?!
"Staff Room"
"Shonen Jump"
Are they really siblings? Or is this a tactic to shake him up?
Sorry to startle you, Mr. Karasuma.
That boy is the toppest of the top secret.
It wasn't unreasonable for you to be in the dark here.
But I assure you: he is indeed Koro Sensei's brother.
And after school, that will become extremely evident.
He sure is packin' in the sweets at a healthy pace.
He's got Koro Sensei's sweet tooth.
And his opaque expression.
That brothers thing sure has everyone comparing the two of us.
Now I'm all antsy.
I'll cheer myself up by looking at the girly magazine I bought today.
Ah, now this is for grown-up tastes!
"Weekly Young Jump" Ah, now this is for grown-up tastes!
"Weekly Young Jump" "Her Young Jump Debut! Samuko Ushiroda"
They even like the same big boobs!
His credibility just skyrocketed!
You think so, Okajima?
Oh, yeah!
"Weekly Young Jump" We boob men are all brothers!
Three brothers now?!
If they really are brothers... then why wouldn't Koro Sensei know?
I bet it went like this:
Your Highness,
the enemy army is upon us!
Then I have no choice!
My sons!
You alone must live!
Go on ahead, my brother!
Once we're over this bridge, we'll have escaped!
My brother!
--Brotherrr! --Never mind me--go!
My brother... go forth and live!
And once grown, they began their destined battle
without realizing they were brothers!
Okay. But why's the little brother human?
Um, like... a mutation?
You haven't explained the core issue here!
You gotta dig deeper on your characterizations there, Fuwa.
And your plot needs more work!
This is a real story with real background, not a fairy tale!
More realism!
A desk ring?
Yep. Like a real match.
I've never known anyone to go about an assassination like this.
You must be sick of plain old assassinations, Koro Sensei.
Shall we lay down a rule here?
How about... stepping foot out of the ring means death on the spot.
What do you think?
What the--? Like the loser's gonna uphold that rule.
No, breaking a rule that we were all witness to
would hurt our trust in him as a teacher.
That kind of restriction works especially well with him.
All right. I accept your rule.
However, Itona, hurting the spectators is also a loss.
Start on my signal.
Assassination...
...begin!
Our eyes were all pinned to one spot--
and it wasn't our teacher's shorn-off arm.
It can't be...
Tentacles?!
Itona's hair--
it's tentacles!
Oh, so that's how he stayed dry empty-handed in that rain:
he can bat away the drops w
Where?
Where did you get those--
those tentacles?!
We're not obligated to tell you that, Koro Sensei.
But this ought to have convinced you:
You have different parents, different upbringings,
but still, you are brothers.
My, what a scary face you're making.
Did you perhaps remember something unpleasant?
It would appear... you and I will need to have a little talk.
But we can't. You'll be dead.
Exposure to this pressure ray at close range
triggers dilatant behavior in your cells.
Your whole body stiffens instantly.
We know it all--all of your weak points.
Did he get him?
No--
look up!
You've shed your skin.
That's right--you had that trick up your sleeve.
But, Koro Sensei,
we also know there's a weak spot there, too.
Molting expends more energy than it would seem.
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #16: Right after molting" Molting expends more energy than it would seem.
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #16: Right after molting" Therefore, the speed you're so proud
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #16: Right after molting" of drops immediately afterward.
And you've grown back the arm that Itona took in his first surprise attack.
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #17: Right after regeneration"
That uses up quite a bit of stamina as well.
By my calculations, you should be evenly matched physically about now.
Your use of tentacles depends greatly
"Koro on your mental state.
Given the shock of being damaged by an unexpected tentacle,
it's plain to see who's in the lead now.
Furthermore,
he has the support of his devoted guardian.
"Weak Point #18: Hardens upon exposure to a special beam" he has the support of his devoted guardian.
Now you'll have to grow back your legs, too.
That'll drop your stamina even further, making you easier to kill.
What a relief.
Brother, I'm stronger than you.
He's got Koro Sensei on the ropes.
If they kill him... they'll save the world!
And yet... why am I so disappointed?
Zeroing in on weak point after weak point
like they know the cards he's holding...
But honestly?
We wanted to find those out for ourselves.
And we wanted to kill him!
Your legs have regenerated, I see.
Now, can you withstand the next onslaught?
I've never been run so ragged before.
At first this seemed like a straightforward face-off,
but it's all been so carefully calculated.
There's a lot I want to ask you two, but if I don't win this first,
there'll be no more talking for me.
You still think you can win?
Ah, the howling of the losing dog--or octopus.
Mr. Shiro, there's one thing you forgot to take into account.
There is not. My methods are impeccable.
Kill him.
What's this?
I seem to have stepped in something you've dropped.
When did he...
If our tentacles are the same, then these anti-me knives
will work the same, too.
And the loss of a tentacle unnerves us both.
But I'm a little craftier than you.
You should be unharmed, wrapped in my old skin like that.
But your feet are outside the ring.
I win. According to the rules, that means you die.
You can't kill me anymore.
If you want to live, stay and learn with everyone in this class,
something that can't be that easily measured by crunching numbers.
That would be the experience gap.
I've lived a little longer than you, and come to know a little more.
I became a teacher because I wanted to pass that on to you all.
If you don't take my experience from me here in this classroom,
you'll never be able to beat me.
I won't? I...
I'm weak?!
Uh-oh. Itona absolutely despises studying.
And lecturing a child who hates to study
could unleash genocide!
Black tentacles?!
Oh, crap! He's gone off the deep end!
I'm strong. These tentacles made me stronger than all the rest.
All the rest...!
Apologies, Koro Sensei.
It seems this boy wasn't yet mentally prepared for school.
I know it's his first day and all... but he'll be taking a little break.
Wait!
I can't just let that student go-- I'm his teacher!
I shall look after him until he graduates!
And, Mr. Shiro... I have so very much to ask you.
Yeah, no. We're leaving.
Or would you stop us by force?
Anti-Sensei fibers. You literally can't touch me.
Don't worry; he'll be back before long, Koro Sensei.
After all, March is just around the corner.
I'll take on the task of tutoring him at home.
His personality will keep him from escaping that school
before Earth's destruction.
And that class!
How amusing.
So unpredictable--like the sky today, raining off and on.
"embarrassed" Oh, how mortifying!
What's with Koro Sensei?
Dunno. He's been like that for a while now.
I'm ashamed to have been involved in such a serious development.
If anything, I'm more about comic relief!
So you know!
You sure got good and mad.
"Where did you get those--those tentacles?!"
Oh, please don't say that, Hazama!
Just hearing those words again makes me want to run for the hills!
I'm the evasive airhead type! That's my selling point!
Showing my serious side will just ruin my type!
"Weak Point #19:" Kinda ticks me off,
"Embarrassed when recovering after a serious scene" breaking down your own character type.
--So embarrassing! --Still, that was quite a surprise.
Who'd think that Itona boy had tentacles?
C'mon, Koro Sensei, tell us!
How are you linked to those two?
You've always dodged questions about your true form...
But seeing that really gets us thinking.
Yeah! We're your students, aren't we?
Don't we have the right to know our teacher better?
Then I suppose I'll have to tell you the truth.
And the truth is...
I'm an artificial life form!
--Well, yeah. --And?
Way to underreact!
Don't you find that a shocking confession?!
Well, like, no natural-born octopus can move at Mach 20!
And if you're not an alien, that's about the only explanation left.
And if Itona said he was your younger brother,
he must've been created after you were.
Too sharp for me! What formidable kids!
We want to know what happened after that, Koro Sensei.
Why did you get so angry when you saw Itona's tentacles?
Why were you created,
and what were your thoughts in coming here?
Unfortunately, it'd be pointless to tell you about that now.
If I destroy the Earth, everything you want to know
will be like so much dust in the wind.
On the other hand, if you can save the Earth,
you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn the truth.
If you want to know more, you realize there's only one thing to do:
Kill me.
Assassin and target. Those are the ties that bind us together.
If you're looking for the big answers in me,
you can only ask them through assassination.
If there are no questions, we're done for the day. See you tomorrow.
Oh, so mortifying...
"embarrassed" Oh, so mortifying...
We are killers. We search for answers with knife and gun.
--So, so mortifying... --Our target is our teacher. His own life is our question.
Oh, I wish I could just disappear!
Yes, the students are unhurt. Make preparations for repairs.
Mr. Karasuma!
What brings you here--and so many of you?
Um... can you teach us more assassination skills?
More than you already know?
We always figured somebody would wind up killing Koro Sensei,
like it didn't have to do with us.
Yeah, and when we saw Itona, we realized...
We don't want it to be just anyone. We want to kill him ourselves.
If they bring in another tough assassin,
we'll lose track of what all our hard work has been for.
So in the time we have left, we want to kill our teacher the best we can.
We want to kill him and find the answers for ourselves.
What a change in attitude.
Excellent.
All right. Interested students can stay after class for extra training.
Extra, tougher training.
Yes, sir!
Let's start with some climbing on our new rope!
That's rough!
Begin!
Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High is the assassination classroom.
The rain'll let up; another day, another class bell rings.
Next!
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
