**[00:17] ---**
The moon is all they're talking\nabout in America, too.\n
**[00:20] ---**
I wish there were more\ninteresting front-page news.\n
**[00:23] ---**
He makes a point of relaxing behind\nthe school every day before class,\n
**[00:28] ---**
with a drink and an English\nnewspaper he got from Hawaii\n
**[00:31] ---**
at Mach 20.\n
**[00:33] ---**
Just as reported. Thanks, Nagisa.\n
**[00:37] ---**
Yep. Good luck, Sugino.\n
**[00:40] ---**
You got it. That ten billion yen is mine!\n
**[00:44] ---**
We are killers.\n
**[00:46] ---**
And our target is\n
**[00:48] ---**
our teacher.\n
**[00:51] ---**
Good morning!\n
**[00:54] ---**
Remember, speak up\nwhen you greet someone!\n
**[00:58] ---**
G-Good morning, Koro Sensei.\n
**[01:02] ---**
Embedding those anti-me BB's\ninto a baseball? A fine idea!\n
**[01:08] ---**
It won't make the kind of\nnoise an air gun would.\n
**[01:11] ---**
However...\n
**[01:12] ---**
I had all this time to kill\nwaiting for the ball to arrive,\n
**[01:16] ---**
and my cells would fall apart\nif I touched those BB's directly.\n
**[01:22] ---**
So that's why\n
**[01:24] ---**
I popped over to the\nequipment room to grab a glove.\n
**[01:29] ---**
I do hope you can kill me--\nbefore graduation, that is.\n
**[01:33] ---**
Now then, time for homeroom.\n
**[01:36] ---**
Yes, sir...\n
**[01:40] ---**
Dammit. Guess my ball\nwon't do the trick after all.\n
**[01:45] ---**
Sugino...\n
**[01:55] ---**
*The theory... of savage youth! *
**[02:05] ---**
*I only speak when it's time to act *
**[02:08] ---**
*I know that's pretty cool *
**[02:10] ---**
*(Searching for our target: we're savage) *
**[02:13] ---**
*Our feelings stray-- they get lost, but move forward *
**[02:17] ---**
*Maybe we're only halfway helpless *
**[02:24] ---**
*What's this wave of irritation? *
**[02:27] ---**
*Proof of our existence? *
**[02:30] ---**
*Look up at the moon and up you go *
**[02:34] ---**
*C'mon now: C-c'mon k-kill c-c'mon --start! *
**[02:38] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag *
**[02:42] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag *
**[02:45] ---**
*The breakthrough you whispered about is finally worth a shout *
**[02:52] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag (you can do it if you try) *
**[02:55] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag (I know you can) *
**[02:58] ---**
*"Whatever" is easy to say *
**[03:02] ---**
*But I want to struggle now, I want to burst with you *
**[03:08] ---**
*But still: youth, to the future! *
**[03:14] ---**
*C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! The theory of savage youth! *

**[03:30] ---**
Our teacher vaporized\n70 percent of the moon.\n
**[03:35] ---**
Next March, he says he'll destroy Earth.\n
**[03:40] ---**
For whatever reason, this creature\nwanted to be our teacher.\n
**[03:46] ---**
The Ministry of Defense gave us a mission:\n
**[03:49] ---**
kill him by next March.\n
**[03:54] ---**
There's a reward of ten billion yen!\n
**[03:57] ---**
Hey, Nagisa--\n
**[03:59] ---**
Sugino's assassination attempt\nfailed this morning, huh?\n
**[04:02] ---**
Uh-huh.\n
**[04:03] ---**
He's been down in the dumps ever since.\n
**[04:07] ---**
It's nothing to get bummed out about.\n
**[04:09] ---**
I mean, none of us have succeeded yet.\n
**[04:15] ---**
An unkillable teacher: "*korosenai*."
**[04:17] ---**
Hence the nickname Koro Sensei.\n
**[04:25] ---**
Sugaya!\n
**[04:29] ---**
So close! But my features are a bit finer than that.\n
**[04:31] ---**
"REALLY observe your subject!"\nSo close! But my features are a bit finer than that.\n
**[04:33] ---**
"REALLY observe your subject!" "Tidy up your lines!"\nFiner how?!\n
**[04:34] ---**
"Old Campus"\n
**[04:36] ---**
"Old Campus"\nNow then, class,\n
**[04:38] ---**
I have some business to take care\nof today, so if you'll excuse me...\n
**[04:42] ---**
Business?\n
**[04:43] ---**
Yes. I'm catching a game in New York.\n
**[04:49] ---**
There he goes.\n
**[04:51] ---**
What's his deal?\n
**[04:53] ---**
It'd be nice if he brought back\nsome souvenirs for us, at least.\n
**[04:58] ---**
Who wants souvenirs from\ntheir assassination target?\n
**[05:01] ---**
Something to eat, maybe.\nThat way it wouldn't stick around.\n
**[05:05] ---**
How oddly realistic of you.\n
**[05:08] ---**
What could he bring back from New York?\n
**[05:10] ---**
Booze?\n
**[05:11] ---**
We can't drink!\n
**[05:12] ---**
Snacks would be best after all.\n
**[05:15] ---**
Or a blonde beauty... whoo!\n
**[05:18] ---**
Right?\n
**[05:19] ---**
\n--Blonde, blonde, blonde, blonde!\n
**[05:23] ---**
--Oh, Mr. Karasuma!\n--Blonde, blonde, blonde, blonde!\n
**[05:25] ---**
How's it going?\nAny clues on how to kill him?\n
**[05:29] ---**
Clues?\n
**[05:37] ---**
Well, I mean, we *are* the E Class.
**[05:41] ---**
It's impossible, Mr. Karasuma.\n
**[05:44] ---**
He's way too fast!\n
**[05:46] ---**
You can't kill anything that flies at Mach 20.\n
**[05:50] ---**
Indeed, no army is capable of that feat.\n
**[05:54] ---**
Toldja!\n
**[05:55] ---**
But only you have the opportunity.\n
**[05:58] ---**
For whatever reason,\nhe insists on being your teacher.\n
**[06:06] ---**
Left to his own devices,\ncome next March, he'll blow Earth up.\n
**[06:12] ---**
One look at that carved-up\nmoon and you'll know:\n
**[06:16] ---**
come March, the entire human\nrace will be beyond all help.\n
**[06:20] ---**
He's too dangerous to be left alive.\n
**[06:23] ---**
This classroom is the only\nplace he can be killed.\n
**[06:28] ---**
We E Class misfits had been\ngiven the chance to be\n
**[06:32] ---**
the heroes who save the planet.\n
**[06:36] ---**
But I don't get it.\n
**[06:38] ---**
"Old Campus"\n
**[06:38] ---**
"Old Campus"\nWhy is Koro Sensei trying to destroy Earth?\n
**[06:42] ---**
"Old Campus"\nWhy come teach our class now?\n
**[06:51] ---**
So then, when I went over\nto her place the other day...\n
**[07:06] ---**
All polished up, Sugino.\n
**[07:09] ---**
Koro Sensei... Wait--\n
**[07:12] ---**
what are you eating?\n
**[07:14] ---**
A coconut I bought in Hawaii yesterday.\n
**[07:17] ---**
Want a bite?\n
**[07:19] ---**
You're supposed to drink out of it!\n
**[07:21] ---**
Nice throw yesterday.\n
**[07:24] ---**
Easy for you to say. Clearly I have\nno hope of hitting you at Mach 20\n
**[07:29] ---**
with my throwing speed.\n
**[07:31] ---**
So you're in the baseball club?\n
**[07:37] ---**
I used to be.\n
**[07:38] ---**
Used to?\n
**[07:42] ---**
Clubs...\n
**[07:44] ---**
The E Class isn't allowed to be in clubs,\nout at this satellite campus.\n
**[07:48] ---**
Our bad grades got us here,\nso we're supposed to focus on studying.\n
**[07:54] ---**
That's some major discrimination.\n
**[07:57] ---**
It's all right. You saw yesterday, right?\n
**[08:01] ---**
How slow I am?\n
**[08:05] ---**
So slow that I couldn't pitch a\nsingle strike, and I got benched.\n
**[08:10] ---**
Pretty soon I lost interest in studying,\ntoo, and wound up in the ol' End Class.\n
**[08:16] ---**
Sugino?\n
**[08:18] ---**
Let me give you a little advice.\n
**[08:22] ---**
Gotta turn this in!\n
**[08:26] ---**
Koro Sensei... talking to Sugino? About what?\n
**[08:31] ---**
Is... Is he giving Sugino a talking-to\nabout yesterday's attempt?\n
**[08:35] ---**
Wow, he's *really* up in arms!
**[08:38] ---**
Koro Sensei! What are you doing?!\n
**[08:40] ---**
What about your pledge\nnot to hurt your students?\n
**[08:44] ---**
Sugino...\n
**[08:46] ---**
That unique pitching form I saw yesterday?\n
**[08:49] ---**
You're copying major-league\npitcher Arita, aren't you?\n
**[08:54] ---**
But you know, the tentacles don't lie.\n
**[08:59] ---**
Your shoulder muscles are\nout of whack compared to Arita's.\n
**[09:05] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?\n
**[09:07] ---**
You won't be able to pitch his super fastballs with *that* body,
**[09:12] ---**
no matter how much you try to imitate him.\n
**[09:17] ---**
How...\n
**[09:20] ---**
How can you be so sure?\n
**[09:25] ---**
Nagisa?\n
**[09:29] ---**
Because we're misfits?\nBecause we're the E Class--the End Class?\n
**[09:34] ---**
So why bother? Is that it?!\n
**[09:40] ---**
Hmm, well... how do I know it's impossible?\n
**[09:45] ---**
Yesterday I checked the man himself.\n
**[09:48] ---**
Well, then, never mind!\n
**[09:50] ---**
"Knock it off, Tentacles! --Arita"\nI got his autograph, too!\n
**[09:51] ---**
You asked him for an autograph\nlike that?! No wonder he was furious.\n
**[09:55] ---**
It was shock! Sheer shock!\n
**[09:57] ---**
I get it... I just don't have his talent.\n
**[10:04] ---**
On the other hand,\n
**[10:05] ---**
your elbows and wrists are\nmore flexible than Arita's.\n
**[10:10] ---**
Train well and you could far surpass him.\n
**[10:13] ---**
These fondling-for-comparison's-sake\ntentacles are never wrong.\n
**[10:18] ---**
There's more than one kind of talent.\n
**[10:22] ---**
Find an assassination that suits *your* talent.
**[10:27] ---**
My elbows and wrists... are better?\n
**[10:33] ---**
My... my talent?\n
**[10:46] ---**
Koro Sensei!\n
**[10:49] ---**
You mean you went to New York\njust to give Sugino advice?\n
**[10:53] ---**
Of course. I'm his teacher.\n
**[10:56] ---**
Most teachers wouldn't go that far.\n
**[10:59] ---**
But you will? The guy who's\ngoing to destroy the earth?\n
**[11:08] ---**
Nagisa, I became your teacher\nto keep a promise I made.\n
**[11:17] ---**
I will indeed destroy the earth,\nbut first, I'll be your teacher.\n
**[11:23] ---**
"A fantastic diary entry! By Koro Sensei"\n
**[11:24] ---**
Taking you kids seriously is more\nimportant than the end of the world.\n
**[11:31] ---**
Koro Sensei...\n
**[11:37] ---**
Please don't write weird\nproblems on the back.\n
**[11:41] ---**
I know you want to show off\nyour grading speed, but...\n
**[11:43] ---**
It's like a bonus!\nI thought you'd be happy.\n
**[11:46] ---**
More like a penalty.\n
**[11:48] ---**
So, er, I hope all of *you* will seriously enjoy both studying and assassinating.
**[11:54] ---**
Even though you'll never\npull off the assassinating part.\n
**[12:14] ---**
Wow, Sugino!\n
**[12:16] ---**
That broke so fast,\nit practically disappeared!\n
**[12:20] ---**
I'm working on a curveball that puts\nmy elbows and wrists to good use!\n
**[12:24] ---**
Even my slow straight\nwill look fast next to this guy.\n
**[12:28] ---**
I'm sure they'd both just put *him* to sleep, though.
**[12:32] ---**
But I'll hang in there, Nagisa--\nwith baseball and assassination both!\n
**[12:44] ---**
Our teacher has ultra-high speed\nand multifunction tentacles.\n
**[12:49] ---**
Honestly, I don't think we can kill him.\n
**[12:52] ---**
And yet...\n
**[12:53] ---**
Koro Sensei!\n
**[12:54] ---**
Can you come here?\nI'd like to kill you for a sec.\n
**[12:58] ---**
Haven't learned your lesson, eh?\n
**[13:00] ---**
And yet, Koro Sensei is\nmysteriously motivating,\n
**[13:03] ---**
and it's kind of fun, being in\nhis assassination classroom.\n
**[13:15] ---**
There he is!\n
**[13:17] ---**
He said he'd be snacking on\nshaved North Pole ice today.\n
**[13:20] ---**
That octopus, hittin' the North Pole\nlike it's the corner shop!\n
**[13:23] ---**
Now! We split the ten billion!\n
**[13:27] ---**
Koro Sensei!\n
**[13:30] ---**
Can we have some shaved ice, too?\n
**[13:34] ---**
They've opened their hearts to me--\nwith such smiling faces!\n
**[13:39] ---**
And such lethal intent!\n
**[13:44] ---**
Huh?\n
**[13:46] ---**
But you know...\nyour smiles were a liiittle forced.\n
**[13:50] ---**
That wasn't enough for\nme to let down my guard.\n
**[13:52] ---**
Set aside these dangerous anti-me knives,\n
**[13:56] ---**
stop and smell the flowers,\nand start by learning to put on a good smile.\n
**[14:00] ---**
Hey, Koro Sensei! These are\nthe flowers we've been growing!\n
**[14:06] ---**
Is that so?\n
**[14:07] ---**
That's low, Koro Sensei!\n
**[14:09] ---**
After we took such good care of them,\nand they'd finally bloomed...\n
**[14:12] ---**
Apologies! I'll get you some new bulbs!\n
**[14:15] ---**
Here you go!\n
**[14:18] ---**
Don't go planting them at Mach speeds, now!\n
**[14:19] ---**
Understood!\n
**[14:20] ---**
Handle each one gently!\n
**[14:22] ---**
Got it!\n
**[14:23] ---**
Hey... isn't he going to\nbe destroying the planet?\n
**[14:26] ---**
Y-Yeah... and here he is planting tulips.\n
**[14:32] ---**
Tch. The monster's tryin'\nto be all goody two-shoes.\n
**[14:37] ---**
What are you writing, Nagisa?\n
**[14:40] ---**
I thought I'd jot down\nKoro Sensei's weak points.\n
**[14:43] ---**
I might get a good\nassassination hint from 'em.\n
**[14:46] ---**
Huh...\n
**[14:47] ---**
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #1:"\n

"Old Campus"\n
**[15:12] ---**
"Old Campus"\nClass 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School\n
**[15:15] ---**
is the assassination classroom,\n
**[15:18] ---**
and the other students are elite members\nof a prestigious prep school.\n
**[15:25] ---**
I believe the Ministry of Defense\nhas already informed you,\n
**[15:29] ---**
but as of tomorrow, I'll be joining\nthe E Class as their P.E. teacher.\n
**[15:34] ---**
I'll be keeping an eye on *him*, of course,
**[15:36] ---**
but the students will be needing\ntechnical and mental support.\n
**[15:41] ---**
Never fear: I have my teaching certificate.\n
**[15:45] ---**
Go right ahead.\n
**[15:46] ---**
Just remember: their education\nand safety come first.\n
**[15:51] ---**
If you'll excuse us.\n
**[15:58] ---**
What an understanding principal!\n
**[16:02] ---**
The government is\ncompensating him handsomely.\n
**[16:06] ---**
But it *is* remarkably convenient.
**[16:08] ---**
A creature capable of destroying the earth\n
**[16:10] ---**
that not even the military\ncan kill... and he's teaching?\n
**[16:15] ---**
Thank God the only ones who know\nabout this are the government,\n
**[16:20] ---**
that principal, and those Class E students.\n
**[16:23] ---**
Yowch! If I do any worse, I might end up in E!\n
**[16:27] ---**
Seriously? Once you wind up there,\nyou can kiss all hope goodbye!\n
**[16:31] ---**
At the satellite campus\nwith no meals, filthy toilets--\n
**[16:34] ---**
treated like dirt by\nstudents and teachers alike!\n
**[16:37] ---**
You need crazy-good grades to\nhave any chance of making it back.\n
**[16:40] ---**
It truly is the *End* Class! I'd sooner die than wind up there!
**[16:44] ---**
I know, right? Better buckle down so\nwe don't turn out like those losers.\n

**[16:49] ---**
"Tell Us, Kunudon!"\nSurprise!\n
**[16:50] ---**
Tell us, Kunudon!\n
**[16:53] ---**
Hi, everybody! I'm Kunudon,\nthe mascot of this institution!\n
**[16:58] ---**
In this segment, I'll tell you all\nabout Kunugigaoka Academy!\n
**[17:03] ---**
Yaaay!\n
**[17:05] ---**
Kunugigaoka Academy has\na standard deviation of 66.\n
**[17:08] ---**
It's a school where you can\nfind cheerful, fun motivation!\n
**[17:11] ---**
Really? That's super!\n
**[17:13] ---**
Everyone gets along really well,\nand everyone is equal!\n
**[17:17] ---**
Everyone is equal! Yaaay!\n
**[17:21] ---**
I see: by discriminating harshly\nagainst a handful of students,\n
**[17:25] ---**
the majority will work harder under\npressure and a sense of superiority.\n
**[17:31] ---**
Its structure is reasonable enough,\n
**[17:33] ---**
and that satellite campus is\nperfect for our top-secret mission.\n
**[17:37] ---**
But it's really got to suck\nfor those End-class pariahs.\n
**[17:47] ---**
Hello, Mr. Karasuma!\n
**[17:49] ---**
Hello. Starting tomorrow, I'll be\nhere to help out as your teacher.\n
**[17:54] ---**
Oh, will you?\n
**[17:55] ---**
I look forward to it.\n
**[17:56] ---**
So now you're *Professor* Karasuma!
**[18:00] ---**
By the way... where is he?\n
**[18:02] ---**
Well, Koro Sensei ruined the class's\nflowerbed, so to make up for it,\n
**[18:08] ---**
he's holding an assassination\ntournament, but with a handicap.\n
**[18:11] ---**
A little something extra by way of apology!\n
**[18:14] ---**
You'd have a hard time finding me\nmore immobilized than I am now!\n
**[18:18] ---**
Any luck, Nagisa?\n
**[18:22] ---**
He's totally not taking us seriously.\n
**[18:24] ---**
You call this assassination?!\n
**[18:27] ---**
But--hang on. Going by\nKoro Sensei's weak points...\n
**[18:32] ---**
I'm afraid it's no use, students of Class E!\n
**[18:35] ---**
Even with this handicap, I'm still far faster!\n
**[18:37] ---**
Killing me is still a far-off dream--\n
**[18:45] ---**
Now! *Kill him*!
**[18:48] ---**

**[18:49] ---**
Aah! Too dangerous!\n

Damn! He got away!\n
**[19:08] ---**

**[19:12] ---**
Ha ha! Dummies!\n
**[19:15] ---**
And we were so close!\n

Junior-high kids talking\nhappily about assassination?\n
**[19:52] ---**
This is one unusual space, all right.\n
**[19:55] ---**
Think we can kill him, Nagisa?\n
**[19:58] ---**
We will. Otherwise,\nwe'd never be able to face him.\n
**[20:02] ---**
It's so strange...\n
**[20:04] ---**
...how the students with the\nliveliest expressions at this school...\n
**[20:10] ---**
...are here in E Class,\nwith their target teaching them.\n
**[20:21] ---**
"Ministry of Defense"\n
**[20:24] ---**
Those are the circumstances.\n
**[20:27] ---**
Given the crisis the earth is in,\nyou must speak of them to no one.\n
**[20:31] ---**
If this gets out, you will be made to\nundergo a memory-wiping operation.\n
**[20:36] ---**
Eeeyikes!\n
**[20:37] ---**
All members of the E Class have\nreceived the same explanation;\n
**[20:40] ---**
they're already part of the mission.\n
**[20:44] ---**
Once your suspension is over,\nyou will return to the E Class.\n
**[20:47] ---**
Therefore, you too will be given\nthe assassination assignment.\n
**[20:52] ---**
So, uh...\n
**[20:55] ---**
Does this rubber knife really work?\n
**[20:59] ---**
Yes. It's harmless to humans,\nbut we guarantee it will work on him.\n
**[21:04] ---**
Huh!\n
**[21:06] ---**
I guess it doesn't matter if he's not human.\n
**[21:12] ---**
I've always wanted to try...\n
**[21:20] ---**
...killing me a teacher.\n

*The sun shines, leaving a red afterimage *
**[21:49] ---**
*On the backs of closed eyelids *
**[21:55] ---**
*With notebook and pen in my leather bag *
**[22:01] ---**
*C'mon, let's go walking *
**[22:06] ---**
*I draw and I draw *
**[22:09] ---**
*But they don't get any neater *
**[22:12] ---**
*There's nothing wrong with the paint I've chosen *
**[22:18] ---**
*I still remember the shooting star *
**[22:24] ---**
*I saw last night--I was waiting for... *
**[22:33] ---**
*Hello, shooting star *
**[22:34] ---**
*Hello, shooting star again *
**[22:37] ---**
*She's been waiting *
**[22:39] ---**
*That dreaming girl has been here *
**[22:43] ---**
*All this time, ah ah *
**[22:50] ---**
*Just like she was that day, ah ah *
**[22:55] ---**
*Shine again *
