Percentage of Fillers
Great news, Assassination Classroom has no fillers. Each of the 48 episodes is canon and critical to the development and progression of the story.
People around the world are not quite fond of the filler episodes. Assassination Classroom has 0 fillers in total and the fans absolutely love that. I listed above the episode list and what type of episode they are.
However, there is one episode that is a mix of both filler and canon. Did you see it? Let me know in the comments!
Assassination Classroom
Yūsei Matsui authored the series Assassination Classroom. It is a Japanese manga full of humour and action.
Back-to-back episodes of the manga were published over a span of four years, starting in 2012 January, and ending in 2016 March, in the weekly Shōnen Jump magazine of Shueisha. Till December 2016, 22 tankōbon books came out comparing all parts of the manga.
Matsui wrote a sequel to the manga called Koro-sensei. Since November 2015, it has also been published in the weekly magazine Shōnen Jump. Moreover, Lerche turned it into a series of 22 episodes which were broadcast in 2015.
It was followed by another 25-episode long season in 2016. OVA episodes came out in December 2016 as a result of increasing popularity. In order to cater to the viewers’ demand, a third season, 12 episodes long, was produced and broadcasted from 2017, October to 2018, March.
The Plot
After tearing down the moon, Koro-sensei next intends to take over the world using his superpowers. The government of Japan has offered a reward of 10 billion Yen for the one who can protect the world by killing this octopus-like creature.
Koro-sensei is employed as a homeroom teacher for a group of students with peculiar traits at Kunugigaoka Junior High School. The events are built around a group of students who are pitched against their teacher in an ominous deal.
For them, it is a do-or-die situation; they MUST take the life of their teacher who is a beast similar to Octopus called Koro-sensei. His deadly powers will push all of them into the valley of death in case they fail to take his life before graduation.
Whereas, despite the threats to his life, the teacher is bent on imparting his knowledge to his students. To reach his goal, Koro-sensei is prepared to offer his life and protect his pupils.
Popularity
Demand and admiration for the manga are evident from the fact that till May 2017, it had more than thirteen million buyers. In 2015, Kodansha Manga Awards, 35th edition, were held where it received the award for being the Best Shōnen Manga.
Also, in 2014, it was selected for the Manga Taishō award 10th edition. In 2015, it remained runner-up, being on the top of the best Shōnen Manga, at the American Anime Awards. Not only that, in 2016, at the French festival, Anim’Est, it was declared the leading Shōnen manga.
The list does not end here, in 2013 it rightfully claimed the Seinen Manga Award and outshone the rest in 2014 when the weekly Young Jump magazine selected it for the two prestigious accolades: Shounen and Seinen by Weekly.
The anime series was not only popular among the viewers, but received attention from the critics as well.
Some Engaging Episodes in Sequential Order:
It is engaging, entertaining, and up in the air where you do not know what will happen next.
Episode 1: Assassination Time
Screened carefully, all the chosen pupils are enrolled by the government in section 3-E which is allocated to training to produce the deadliest assassins. The prime minister has assigned a crucial task to this select group of students; before they graduate, they MUST take their teacher’s life.
The teacher, Koro-sensei, is known to be synonymous with beast and evil. With exceptionally powerful arms, he possesses an unusual level of 300 IQ. Unbeaten to date, it is believed that he sent more than 1000 people to the valley of death.
Incomparable when it comes to skill and brainpower, no one has been able to come even close to his prowess. He made one of his targets laugh so vigorously by pressing a pressure point that led the victim to experience a heart attack leading to death.
As a mark of distinction, he was given the title “Koro-sensei”. The 3- E students are separated from the rest of the school because of low academic performance. In fact they are agitators and rebels.
The school decides to put them to use for what they are good at, to kill their teacher, a task far more daunting than they can imagine. A massive prize is offered when they succeed.
It starts with pupils making a futile attempt at killing Koro-sensei when they shoot at him. Later, he shows them how BBs don’t do him much harm. This is followed by multiple failed attempts by his students.
In response to their performance, he challenges his students to learn the best ways and tricks to kill him. But certainly, he does not lead them the right way. Koro- sensei and his pupils are pitched against each other in a state of war.
The pupils; however, experience dual emotions sometimes when they have the strong desire to protect the world and when they are enticed by the skills they might learn from their teacher.
Since, he is the one who destroyed 70% of the moon and intends to take over the earth. It is humorous to see how Koro-sensei lets them believe and sometimes actually the pupils seem to be close to success but just then the situation changes.
During this episode, most of the pupils are introduced. We also come to understand that at the moment they are following a hit and trial method.
How will the plan work? Will the students be successful in killing their target? Who will be the key player in the given situation? What are the chances for both sides? You MUST watch to know.
The first episode is a great show of wicked interplay, brainwork and strategic planning carried out by scheming minds and amazing stunts.
Episode 2: Baseball Time
This episode allows more insight into who Koro-sensei is. We see a shift in the setting and events when he travels to New York City to participate in a game of baseball. It is a game that requires focus, agility, and strength. We can also gauge that he knows the country and can comfortably travel around the nation
We get to know about another one of his traits while he plays Baseball and performs most impressively displaying the unbelievable level of vigour and power his body holds. The second episode reveals substantial details about the main characters.
It reflects how dedicated and invested Sugino is in the assassination plan. He is shrouded by sadness on realizing his defeat. As the events progress, we come to know that Koro- sensei is secretly keeping an eye on him from a hideout.
We further learn that Sugino is a quitter and loses hope easily. He has been a member of a baseball team in the past.
The element of curiosity is the dominant force in this episode. We can pick up hints about what we can expect might happen ahead. At the same time, we can speculate about character development along with the progression of the story.
The way Sugino tries hard to win Kayano’s attention and makes an effort to leave an impression on her by sharing details of the baseball game, we can conclude that he has strong feelings for her. Koro-sensei can also notice Sugino’s feelings for her and makes his observation clear to Sugino. Sugino’s cheeks turn red when he looks at Kayano.
Sugino is easier to manipulate. When she sees someone’s actions she can often fall for them. This may be the reason why she started liking Koro-sensei. Well, this allows her to be a pawn.
This way Koro-sensei’s morale will stay high and he will not feel rejected. This might help him achieve his goals. Within the mixture of emotions that the episode offers, we can also see how Nagisa’s appreciation for Koro-sensei infuriates Sugino. Is it dislike for Koro-sensei or because someone else is doing what he wished to do?
This episode shows interesting interactions, growth of the characters and interplay of the events dominantly represented by how Shiota and Sugino move along the story as characters.
Desiring to reverse their lowly situation, they pretend to be attentive towards Koro-sensei’s instructions and suggestions, but at the same time feel discouraged. Their determined traits are exposed when they make efforts to persuade other pupils to try to fight one more time.
What haunts them at the back of their minds is that this can hit back at them leaving them more battered than ever before. Resultantly, their selfishness to make themselves feel better will be exposed and build an unpleasant situation for them.
Episode 3: Karma Time
Episode three also brings us the joy of character growth that leads to plot development. We realize that the cliché, the first impression is the last impression is not always true.
Although the goal and target do not change, the point of view towards people becomes mature. Karma honours the fact that even a do-or-die situation should not make anyone abandon their values and look like a coward.
It is the first time that Karma has had the chance to encounter class 3-E and Koro-sensei. Karma’s sole desire is to watch Koro-sensei crash and break down. However, fate has a twist coming along. Koro-sensei saves him from getting smashed into a rock and getting killed.
Karma is impressed and realizes that Koro-sensei is a value system and will not kill any pupil until he reaches his goal.
Being passionate to achieve his target of taking Koro-sensei’s life, Karma makes up his mind to be a part of 3-E. He takes the lead in finding out what makes him more vulnerable.
Deviating from his plan, he thinks of giving Koro-sensei a taste of his own medicine and makes takoyaki using octopus for supper. It is revealed that besides being an assassin, Koro-sensei has some interesting skills, he can make the best takoyaki with octopus.
It is the first time during the course of the story that the entire group of pupils from 3-E manages to leap into action to attack Koro-sensei, using his knife trick, Karma slashes his tentacles, knowing that Koro-sensei simply loves octopus-flavoured gelato, Nagisa feeds him that.
With time and interaction, Koro-sensei’s pupils become more familiar with different aspects of the nature and skills of their mentor. Similarly, Koro-sensei also learns more about the different characteristics and attributes of his students and also becomes more at ease about dealing with his pupils.
Episode 4: Grown-Up Time
Beauty with brains is a befitting description for the English teacher who has joined recently. Irina’s charming manners and good looks make the class believe that she is attracted towards Koro-sensei, not only the class, Koro-sensei himself believes this to be true.
She is a great performer and knows how to manipulate people and situations in her favour. She knows how to control and exploit her pupils. Irina makes them feel insecure by making them conscious of their vulnerability.
She is clever and skilfully plays mind games to control her pupils’ brains. Karma and Nagisa get her special attention when she makes them feel baffled about their own efforts to find out her flaws with support from other classmates.
A startling discovery shocked everyone. The new mentor is an undercover assassin, her mission is to kill Koro-sensei. She has mastered the art of channelling the strength of her energy to move things around according to her desires.
Irina can change her identity when she wants. She is multilingual and hardly misses her target.
The pupils are not as much fooled by her actions and looks as Koro-sensei is smitten. It takes him sometime to realise that Irina is a trained assassin who is faking her crush on him. And that she is pretending to be a teacher till she succeeds in killing him.
Taking advantage of his crush on her, she pleads and sends him off to get her Vietnamese coffee. While he is away she lures Nagasi with a kiss and asks him and the other pupils to tell her whatever they know about Koro-sensei.
In order to win their trust, she also allows them to select a nickname for her. Moreover, she shares that she will play the role of a teacher only in Koro-sensei’s presence to avoid suspicion.
However, the students have unanimously developed feelings of hate for Irina. After going back to the class, students notice her making a plan to kill Koro-sensei. Upon their request to share the details, she tells them nothing about her plan to kill Koro-sensei. She spends time only in teaching the pupils how to pronounce her nickname correctly.
E-3 students are surprised when Koro-sensei agrees to meet Irina outside the classroom. They find it hard to believe that she has him under her trance after a short while.
To Irina’s embarrassment her assassination attempt with help of her henchmen fails. She stands soaked in humiliation when the students after hearing the bullets shot. Despite her promises to find a way to kill Koro-sensei, she cannot win students’ favour.
Rather, they want her time in the class to be given to Koro-sensei. Making the situation worse, she shouts at them questioning their academic abilities when they tell her that they have an exam coming up.
Karasuma advises her to apologise to the students and takes her along to show the hard work Koro-sensei puts into preparing his lesson and helping his pupils.
At the same time, he shows her how focused pupils are towards their objective of killing Koro-sensei. Finally, he suggests she be able to do whatever is required to achieve her target. In order to make things right, Irina apologies to students and promises to teach them efficiently.
Irina Jelavić is brought to the spotlight in this episode. She is a clever assassin assigned to end Koro-sensei’s life. She is also the new English teacher of Class 3-E. Fearless and audacious; she is not afraid when her identity and intentions are revealed.
Rather, she proclaims her mission herself and proudly talks about her previous successful killing missions. Despite being aware of her bold and ruthless plans, Koro-sensei cannot resist her physical charms.
Episode 5: Assembly Time
All formalities like the introduction of the characters and setting up of context for progression and development of the story are what make up this episode.
The audience becomes familiar with all pupils in 3-E Class, Nagisa becomes better at dealing with his bullies, and Manami learns to communicate better with guidance from Nagisa Shiota.
Moreover, Nagisa gets an understanding of dealing with any anticipated challenges. Teachers from the other classes attempt to hurt Koro-sensei. The main plot of this episode is quite similar to the one in episode 6.
We come across some interesting attempts to kill Koro-sensei. This episode does not progress the plot but adds clarity about everything and everyone.
We are sure, now you cannot wait to latch on to this distinctive anime series.
We know you have multiple questions in your head: will Koro-Sensei succeed in destroying the world or will 3-E pupils achieve their target of killing him? Will they ever know who he truly is? What is the motive behind Koro-Sensei’s wish to annihilate the earth?
Get all the answers and watch the Assassination Classroom.
