Assasination Classroom: A Japanese anime series adapted from manga of the same title by Yūsei Matsui. The characters in the show are students in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, mainly focusing on class 3-E, which is known to be the worst class academically and in terms of their behavior. These students are housed separately in structures which are away from the main school and they suffer from all sorts of discrimination and injustices inflicted on them by fellow students and teachers.
Thus, the plot begins with the arrival of a strange and strong character in the form of a yellow octopus with a grin. This one, as you might have guessed, will be known as Koro-sensei, and this wretch has recently crushed 70% of the moon, which has made it as lethally crescent like for all eternity. Koro-sensei then proclaims he has intentions of doing the same to the Earth within a year. However, he offers humanity a bizarre chance for survival: he is to be a teacher in class 3-E and it will be the students who will try to assassin him before the year ends.
The government of Japan comes to a realization of this reality and issues a reward of 10 billion yen for any person who would capture Koro-sensei alive and the students are provided with weapons that can only affect Koro-sensei. Nonetheless, he possesses what appears to be impregnable powers such as being able to move at the speed of Mach 20, regeneration, and astounding strength; Koro-sensei’s primary aim is to become the best teacher he can be. He is vowed to enhancing the students’ performance, their ego, and their lives in general; thus, the assassination prerequisite does not mar him as a beloved figure.
The narrative is very complex, but at the same time, it mastered the combination of comedy, intense fight scenes, and touching stuffed scenes. Koro-sensei’s behaviors are humorous yet genius, challenging the students to focus on their studies while mastering assassination skills. All of the students have different stories and issues in their lives and Koro-sensei assists them in becoming better people in ways they could not even conceive. Some of the characters in the class are Nagisa Shiota, a boy who is good at numerical skills and becomes an expert in assassination; Karma Akabane, a rebellious student who stands out as rather smart; and Kaede Kayano, a seemingly friendly girl who is rather cunning.
The stereoscope view of Koro-sensei becomes clearer and richer as the story goes on. He was a man, a human once who was known as the “The Reaper “the world’s greatest killer, through a set of experiments they conducted on him, he became what you see now. The reason he introduced himself as the teacher of Class 3-E is that he promised Aguri Yukimura, the previous teacher of the class and the woman he had a love-interest in, he’d become her replacement.
The series culminates in an emotional and intense climax where the students face the ultimate decision: To rescue their favourite teacher or to complete the task of saving the world are some of the most common reasons. Drama ‘Assassination Classroom’ teaches children about repentance, education, tolerance and how one teacher can change children’s lives for the better.
**Assassination Classroom** remains one of the most popular shows of the genre notable for its captivating, original concept, realistic characters’ development, and the combination of comic and tragic context.
