Yes! An out-of-season research project
for our assassination classroom:
Hijack the space station and steal their experiment data!
And so the E Class's unprecedented research project began.
"The reentry capsule carrying the research data
will splash down in the Pacific Ocean.
The capsule will be transported to the lab unopened,
to prevent unlikely theft of the same by the target supercreature."
Very clever precautions indeed.
I can't carry anything too heavy.
Use a five-ton capsule as a safe and there's no way I can steal it.
That's why we get them to show us while it's still in space.
But does Japan really have the tech to launch a manned rocket?
Their technology is reliable enough for that, anyway.
My influence might have moved things along.
There was plenty to fear, of course, but more than anything,
we had fun coming together to tackle challenges--
we could forget about all our uncertainties.
"Wait, just hang on a sec!"
I scream, but it gets me nowhere
I put all my strength into being afraid of
The limits that just kept on closing in
Reality is merciless
And time is especially tricky
It's like someone's snatching away the blanket I just can't sleep without
We laughed and fretted
Over silly things, nonsensical things
Once the final bell rings out
The fun times will be over, too
Bye-bye, yesterday
365 days' worth of lessons shoved into bags
Like always, like it's "see you tomorrow"
Bye-bye, yesterday
365 days' worth of happenings
If you've made me an adult, don't be showing me tears
Bye-bye, yesterday
365 days' worth of memories
"53 Days Till Koro Sensei's Dead-Line" 365 days' worth of memories
Even if I grow up some more
They still won't fade a bit
"19th Period: Outer Space Time"
Our plans are in place.
Now to put them into action.
The rocket will only hold two people. Who wants to go?
Me!
Right?
Oho, the boys, eh?
It's an experimental vessel with no successful flights yet...
Who still wants to go?
Right?
I still want to.
"Tentacle"
A rocket would make any mech-head's mouth water.
"Tentacle" But I'll give up my seat this time.
Nagisa. Karma.
Huh? I'm not big on these risky challenges that rely on others.
Just send Terasaka up with a dummy.
If it crashes, no harm done.
What?!
Karma the fighter, to provoke; Nagisa the assassin, for safety.
They might be a good choice for hijacking a space station.
Yeah. We'll save our money and pay our own way.
"Tentacle" You two fought hard enough to bring the whole class together!
"Tentacle" Take responsibility and lead the way!
"Tentacle" Karma?
Let's give it a shot.
A graduation trip to outer space with your friend?
What could be better?
"Tentacle"
Okay, okay. I did promise I'd hear you out.
Well! That's that!
"Cape Shimazu Space Center"
Wow, cool!
--This is where you launch the rockets, right? --Hey! You!
How the hell did you get in here?
You don't even have ID cards, do you?
We're here on a field trip, but we got lost!
We followed some guy and wound up here!
--But since we're here... let us do the countdown!
--Ritsu, any of these control-room computers would work, right? --But since we're here... let us do the countdown!
--Ritsu, any of these control-room computers would work, right? --I don't care how cute you are--no! Authorized personnel only!
--Right. --Aw, I wanna push the launch button!
--Time to plug this in and scram. --Aw, I wanna push the launch button!
--Time to plug this in and scram. --Hey! Tickling won't help!
Security analysis complete!
I've placed a remote-control virus on the control-room computer.
Now the control center and its system will act on my command.
That's the first hurdle cleared.
I know it's sudden, Ritsu,
but a part of our entry route is aboveground.
Can you do something?
Roger. Checking your current position...
Done!
I'll turn off the corresponding camera for ten seconds.
Roger that.
Three... two... one... zero!
Security guard passing through. Next patrol in ten minutes.
Surveillance camera angle correction complete.
It's not off, so please be careful.
Got it.
A fifty-meter staircase to the rocket hatch...
Koro Sensei?!
Inspection? Perfection!
Any accident would be a liability issue.
Please don't say such awful things!
I'm relaying recorded footage of the dummies to the control room.
If you swap them out now, you won't get caught!
C'mon, Karma.
100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95,
94, 93, 92,
91, 90, 89,
--Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen systems are go. --88, 87, 86...
Are they going to be okay?
--25, 24, 23,
--Flight mode on. --25, 24, 23,
22, 21, 20, 19...
You know, we've felt this kind of nervous before, you and me.
Yeah.
But... we might've changed a little since then.
--All systems go. --5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
--Main engine ignition. --5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
--SRB ignition. --1, 2, 3...
Liftoff.
It's fast, all right!
Why did you tag along, Koro Sensei?!
Well, you know, I worry.
Don't be overly concerned about getting that data on me!
You're on a journey through space--enjoy it!
Koro Sensei... there's something I'd like to say.
You use every ounce of your life to give us opportunities to learn.
And we're really grateful for that.
But your life means more to us than just teaching material.
I know. And I'm glad.
S-So fast!
You need to be traveling at Mach 23 to enter space.
Today, for the first time, we were faster than Koro Sensei.
"Assassination Classroom, Final Season" "by Karma Akabane"
Rendezvous complete. Commence HTV catch.
Roger.
Mechanical arm: operation verified.
Three more meters.
Two meters. One meter.
HTV catch complete. Commence gripping.
Demonstration ship: grip complete.
Docking complete.
Shield interface: all green. Air pressure: normal.
Permission granted to open hatch. Welcome to the space station.
Your country sent you a doll to play with.
How about welcoming it aboard and giving it a big hug?
Okay!
Huh? Where's the dummy?
What?!
Huh? A communications error?
What's wrong?
Huh?!
H-Hello...
Hey, it's Mizui! I've seen you on TV!
Wh-Why is there a kid in here instead of a dummy?
Hey, what's--
I have terminated the comm-link with Earth!
Thanks, Ritsu.
We have a bomb. We would like to do this peacefully.
Please back away so we can talk.
This place is a little cramped.
Let's talk somewhere with more space.
Come on--move it.
Therefore, please allow us to copy the American team's data.
We won't be making any other demands.
I think you know, but our teacher is a monster.
I don't know what he'll do to the earth if you refuse.
Uh-oh--these guys calmed down way too quick.
That's a career astronaut for you.
First, let me give you two daring kids a hand. Bravo.
Oh--Japanese!
But are you really gonna take on the six of us--soldiers included?
A bomb doesn't scare us.
Because...
...we've been running experiments here, not knowing when
this is all gonna blow up and kill us all.
Enough pointless conflict. This is no place to fight.
We'll talk, so please, let him go.
Even if you do steal the data, how are you going to get home?
Are you going to ask us for help while you hijack us?
We can make it back on our own.
Our classmate's worked out the return orbital calculations perfectly.
Yep!
Our teacher can do any fine-tuning by pushing us in midair.
This is way too reckless!
Maybe you're just young, but aren't you taking your lives too lightly?
I didn't come here because I wanted to.
I came because my friend asked me to.
Karma...
And you mentioned our lives.
We've done plenty of thinking about that lately.
I mean, we're students of a class that'll kill its teacher.
We should know by now to be prepared to face life with life.
Just like you--right?
It seems you have genuine faith in your target's plans...
All right.
I'll take it upon myself to accept the hijackers' demands.
Prepare the data.
Huh?
But first, help us offload supplies.
We'll put you to work and get you out of here already.
I think they must have wanted to give us junior-high kids
the experience of a lifetime.
This might just save him.
Yeah...
And that'd be enough for you, right?
What do you mean?
Well, I'm not going against the class's decision to save him...
...I'm just wondering what Koro Sensei wants us to do.
That's the lab data on preventing that supercreature from exploding.
No signs of falsification.
I can confirm it's the full data from the experiment in question.
I'll just grab a copy.
It's copied.
Now to get back and validate it.
Yeah, we don't want to overstay our welcome.
Hey, pops!
You can keep this.
Whoa, whoa! Hey!
Honestly, there's just some sweet bean jelly inside.
Oh, no!
Just say you were too spooked by the bomb to disobey.
We're really sorry for the trouble we've caused!
At least it killed some time, right?
Swimming in zero gravity like they're at a friend's house,
negotiating for top-secret intel
like they're bargaining at a penny-candy shop,
piercing the atmosphere like they're heading home from school...
There's some pretty amazing junior-high kids out there!
You guys are an awesome group of heroes.
Come back anytime--but next time, do it the right way.
I've had enough. However...
...I'll make sure to increase the budget for space exploration
when I get in power.
Yeah--I'm lookin' forward to it.
Our time in space sure went by in a flash.
Mmm-hmm.
Now to see if we can get back to Earth in one piece. Ritsu?
Ritsu...?
I'm on it. I've crunched a ton of numbers to get you down safely.
This spaceship may as well be my own body by now.
Plus, all those sensors I have are picking up more than ever before.
External temperature, air pressure, speed, the scenery...
Nagisa, Karma...
I even have a clear read on your respiration, your conversation,
your heartrate, your warmth.
To think so much, to move, to feel...
How wonderful...
This mission has evolved my intelligence--
I'm experiencing it firsthand!
Hey, you two...
I just gained awareness of an emotion for the very first time.
I'm happy. Happy to be a part of this class.
Right on schedule! And what a grueling trip it must have--ow!
Koro Sensei!
So I didn't need to intercede in the negotiations after all!
You really must have gotten through to those spaceguys!
Guess so.
Now to give you boys a little shove.
Hup! Ow! Hup! Hot! Ow! Hot!
Onward to--ow!
Hey, they made it! They're back!
Keep going! Almost there!
We doubted, fretted, came apart and clashed...
And finally, at the end of that long month...
...we went to space.
Hooray! Yay! They did it!
Phew...
--What in God's name have you done? --Urk!
I can't even conceive of how much apologizing this will take!
I-I threatened the students into going!
You two aren't at all responsible-- you didn't know my plan.
Besides, we got a nice bonus out of it!
Data from using real humans instead of dummies.
This alone should make another rocket launch worthwhile.
And Ritsu discovered a more efficient course into space.
Take all this and we'll call it even.
You miscreant.
We're home!
Once this season comes for me, I won't be able
To search out your figure anymore
I'll never forget
Until the day I can see you again
"Staff Room"
Whoa! Check out this data!
I'm glad you got it, but with all this jargon--I can't understand a word!
I'll handle it. Let's see here...
"An experiment in space proved that the risk of explosion
for a tentacle creature is inversely proportional to its size.
The bigger it is, the more stable,
while the smaller ones have a higher likelihood of exploding.
Unlike those the size of a small mouse,
the probability of a human-sized creature
going berserk and exploding is much lower than expected."
Huh? That means...
"Additionally, the drug indicated below is administered
and a silicon compound is periodically stimulated to flow through the body.
Simply put, by 'relieving muscular stiffness,'
the risk of them going berserk decreases dramatically."
"Stiffness"?
"When the following conditions are satisfied...
...the possibility of explosion, even at the highest...
...is less than one percent."
One percent?!
"It is likely that other cells will die out before any explosion occurs,
and the creature will gently evaporate within 90 years."
So can you make this drug or what?
It's surprisingly easy! In fact...
"Phew..." It's surprisingly easy! In fact...
"Phew..." ...I made one almost exactly like it before.
That one?!
You're kidding me!
The key to solving this was right there all along?!
Are you sure? I mean, it was almost too easy to find.
No--the road here wasn't all that easy.
Kayano...
Because my sister risked her life to stop Koro Sensei
as he was turning into a destructive creature.
Because Koro Sensei followed in her footsteps,
risking his life to teach us.
If we hadn't risked our lives,
we probably wouldn't be able to make that drug,
and we wouldn't have grown into a class that could look for answers
way out in space.
Either way, less than one percent is as good as zero!
Even if we can't kill him, Earth won't explode!
Wait... what about the assassination?
Huh?
The one we've been working on since our first term?
Should we just call it off as of today?
Huh? I... I guess we can. Wait...
Nagisa! Whaddya wanna do?
This was your idea.
No matter how minute the possibility,
the government won't cancel its assassination plans,
not as long as he remains a dangerous creature.
I want to treat everyone's feelings with care,
especially now that we've come through that tunnel.
Here's what we decided:
If we couldn't kill Koro Sensei by the March deadline,
we'd graduate from assassination
and go back to being plain old students and teacher.
But until that deadline, we'd wield our blades with conviction.
After all, here "assassination" is our bond with our teacher--
and a compulsory course from Koro Sensei, who'd nurtured us.
That's what we made up our minds to do.
