**[00:06] ---**
Now, then, Koro Sensei.
Let your final death match begin.
**[00:13] ---**
Koro Sensei...
**[00:15] ---**
Compared to me, you are...
**[00:17] ---**
weak.
**[00:32] ---**
*You're all I think about*
**[00:34] ---**
*Starting not to see anything else*
**[00:37] ---**
*I'll win your heart for sure--I swear*
**[00:43] ---**
*Me, not cool? Oh, that old tale*
**[00:45] ---**
*I've spared no effort since then*
**[00:48] ---**
*Should be over my problems by now*
**[00:52] ---**
*I'm brimming with confidence: I can do it*
**[00:56] ---**
*And just when I get warmed up*
**[00:59] ---**
*Yeah, I get knocked down like this every time*
**[01:04] ---**
*Your scathing, serious voice cuts me*
**[01:10] ---**
*Thousands, tens of thousands
of times I've given form to my feelings*
**[01:15] ---**
*Driven them in,
thrown them in--but all you do is run*
**[01:21] ---**
*Question, question: what*
**[01:23] ---**
*Question, question: on earth*
**[01:26] ---**
*Question, question: did I*
**[01:29] ---**
*Ever know about you anyway?*
**[01:31] ---**
*Question, question: why*
**[01:34] ---**
*Question, question: is it*
**[01:37] ---**
*Question, question: you are*
**[01:39] ---**
*So close and yet so far away?*
**[01:48] ---**
"Third Period: Itona Horibe Time"
"by Itona Horibe"
**[01:54] ---**
Itona!
**[01:56] ---**
First we make drastic changes to the field.
**[02:01] ---**
--Ow ow ow!
--Then we attack.
**[02:04] ---**
Easier to confine him first, then strike.
**[02:08] ---**
I've taken a page from your tactics, you see.
**[02:11] ---**
Shiro! So you were behind all this?
**[02:14] ---**
Exactly.
**[02:16] ---**
Once that creature
starts losing his students' trust,
**[02:18] ---**
his movements grow panicked.
**[02:21] ---**
Even if things seem a little
off somehow, he'll dive right in,
**[02:24] ---**
the fool.
**[02:26] ---**
Dammit! That's *our* kill!
**[02:29] ---**
Why do you always play so dirty?
**[02:32] ---**
It's called "being an adult."
**[02:36] ---**
What Itona has on his tentacles there
**[02:39] ---**
are gloves with sharp edges
made of anti-Sensei materials.
**[02:42] ---**
Every time their tentacles touch,
the creature's bare tentacles
**[02:45] ---**
will continue to take damage.
**[02:49] ---**
Seems that's not enough
to finish him off, though.
**[02:55] ---**
I won, big brother.
**[02:57] ---**
By killing you,
**[02:59] ---**
I'm solving just one problem:
**[03:03] ---**
I'm proving... my strength!
**[03:12] ---**
Yes, very well done, Itona!
**[03:15] ---**
If this were before the first term,
you may very well have killed me.
**[03:19] ---**
But your attack pattern is a simple one.
**[03:23] ---**
No matter how fast you are,
no matter how strong,
**[03:26] ---**
no matter how many schemes
your guardian thinks up,
**[03:28] ---**
no matter how easily I freak out,
**[03:30] ---**
by our third fight, I can see
and adapt to your patterns.
**[03:35] ---**
No way... it can't be...
**[03:41] ---**
Itona...
**[03:44] ---**
I study, too, you know.
**[03:46] ---**
How could I teach anyone if
I didn't grow and learn day by day?
**[03:53] ---**
Now, let's get rid of
this dangerous cloth cage.
**[03:57] ---**
Experiencing my Absolute Defense Form
over summer vacation
**[04:00] ---**
taught me yet another skill:
**[04:03] ---**
compressing not my whole body,
but a portion of my tentacles
**[04:06] ---**
to release a burst of energy.
**[04:10] ---**
Wh-What...?
**[04:12] ---**
Remember this, Itona.
**[04:15] ---**
I say assassination *is* education.
**[04:17] ---**
The assassination classroom's teacher
**[04:19] ---**
will get stronger every time he teaches!
**[04:27] ---**
Why... can't I... win?
**[04:30] ---**
I'm supposed to be... stronger now...
**[04:42] ---**
So there you have it, Shiro.
**[04:45] ---**
Leave him to the E Class and go quietly.
**[04:48] ---**
Oh, and...
**[04:50] ---**
...spread the *accurate* word
that I am *not* an underwear thief!
**[04:53] ---**
And I'm actually a B-cup! A B-cup!
**[05:07] ---**
I-It hurts...
**[05:08] ---**
--Itona!
--My head's... killing me!
**[05:11] ---**
My brain's about to burst!
**[05:13] ---**
With the shock of his repeated defeats,
**[05:15] ---**
his tentacles are starting
to gnaw away at his mind...
**[05:17] ---**
Hang in there, Itona!
**[05:20] ---**
This might just be all he can take.
**[05:23] ---**
Why, he can't even pull off
this little scheme of mine.
**[05:27] ---**
Wh-What is he saying?
**[05:30] ---**
Itona,
**[05:31] ---**
if this is all you're capable of,
the Organization will stop paying.
**[05:36] ---**
It's not that I don't feel for you,
**[05:38] ---**
but we have to cut our losses at some point
**[05:41] ---**
if only to get the next model up and running.
**[05:44] ---**
This is goodbye, Itona.
You're on your own now.
**[05:49] ---**
Wait! What kind of guardian are you, anyway?
**[05:52] ---**
Quit playing school, you monster.
**[05:55] ---**
All you can do is
break things--break everything.
**[06:00] ---**
I will not countenance your existence.
**[06:04] ---**
I wish only for your death...
**[06:06] ---**
no matter what the sacrifice.
**[06:11] ---**
Say, are you sure your
dear students are okay like that?
**[06:18] ---**
Look out!
**[06:27] ---**
Itona...
**[06:32] ---**
Koro Sensei!
**[06:36] ---**
As you might imagine,
I'm pooped. Time for a little rest.
**[06:44] ---**
With tentacle cells
grafted to your human body,
**[06:48] ---**
you must undergo
adaptive treatment almost daily
**[06:52] ---**
or be tormented by hellish rejection symptoms.
**[06:56] ---**
Now that I've stopped your maintenance,
**[06:59] ---**
your tentacles will ultimately,
painfully eat away your nerves...
**[07:03] ---**
The average person
dies of madness in three days.
**[07:11] ---**
Here's where the first incident occurred.
**[07:13] ---**
A string of attacks on
cell phone shops throughout Kunugigaoka
**[07:18] ---**
has the police discussing
a potential terrorism link.
**[07:22] ---**
This has got to be...
**[07:23] ---**
It's him, all right.
**[07:25] ---**
But why cell phone shops?
**[07:27] ---**
What should we do, sir?
**[07:29] ---**
As his teacher,
I'll take responsibility and stop him.
**[07:32] ---**
I have to find him, protect him!
**[07:35] ---**
I've got a good handle on Shiro's personality.
**[07:38] ---**
To him, everyone's a pawn
to use and throw away--
**[07:42] ---**
and you don't quite know
what a guy like that will do next.
**[07:46] ---**
I think it'd be wiser to leave him alone.
**[07:51] ---**
Even so, I'm his teacher.
**[07:54] ---**
Don't let go of your students, no matter what.
**[07:58] ---**
When I became a teacher, that was my vow.
**[08:11] ---**
There are no shortcuts, Itona.
**[08:15] ---**
Only those who study daily
and work with integrity
**[08:20] ---**
will grow stronger.
**[08:23] ---**
That liar.
**[08:28] ---**
"Mashimoto Imports"
**[08:39] ---**
Forget lip service. No beating around the bush.
**[08:43] ---**
Being a sore loser
makes me sick. I want to win.
**[08:48] ---**
I want the strength to be able to win.
**[08:51] ---**
Your human face is showing at last, Itona.
**[08:56] ---**
Big brother...
**[08:57] ---**
"Koro Sensei," if you please.
**[09:00] ---**
After all, I'm your teacher.
**[09:02] ---**
Don't be goin' nuclear on us, now, Itona.
**[09:06] ---**
You put us through a lotta stuff,
but we'll let it slide.
**[09:09] ---**
Just come with us quietly.
**[09:11] ---**
Shut up! We battle. This time... I'll win.
**[09:17] ---**
Of course we can battle.
**[09:20] ---**
Maybe we two state secrets
can find a vacant lot somewhere.
**[09:24] ---**
Afterwards, we'll all study ways to kill me
**[09:27] ---**
while we enjoy a little barbecue together.
**[09:32] ---**
He's a persistent one, that octopus.
**[09:34] ---**
Once he takes over, he'll go
to the depths of hell to teach you.
**[09:40] ---**
Of course! Put a student in front of me,
**[09:43] ---**
and my instinct is to want to teach him or her.
**[09:51] ---**
What *is* this?
**[09:53] ---**
I can't see!
**[09:54] ---**
Is this... anti-me powder?!
**[09:58] ---**
Setting Itona adrift was
all part of the plan, Koro Sensei.
**[10:04] ---**
I was so distracted by
Itona's bloodlust that I didn't notice!
**[10:08] ---**
Come now, Itona--your final duty.
**[10:13] ---**
Itona!
**[10:17] ---**
You'll come after him, won't you?
Being his teacher and all.
**[10:27] ---**
Koro Sensei...
**[10:29] ---**
Is everyone all right?
**[10:32] ---**
More or less...
**[10:33] ---**
Then I'll go rescue Itona!
**[10:38] ---**
Protecting us reduced
his evasion response time.
**[10:41] ---**
No!
**[10:43] ---**
Damn that Shiro!
He made us his pawns, all right!
**[10:50] ---**
"Assassination Classroom, Second Season"
"by Karma Akabane"
**[10:59] ---**
Itona!
**[11:03] ---**
Pressure rays--to slow me down!
**[11:07] ---**
Not that I'm surprised,
but you really are a fool, Koro Sensei.
**[11:11] ---**
I'm after Itona.
**[11:16] ---**
That's right: you grow weak
when the target is anyone but you.
**[11:22] ---**
Now will you run away?
**[11:23] ---**
I am his *teacher*!
**[11:25] ---**
I...
**[11:27] ---**
I'm powerless.
**[11:29] ---**
That's why even my partner's abandoned me.
**[11:37] ---**
Good eyes.
**[11:39] ---**
In them I see a dogged fixation on winning--
**[11:43] ---**
crucial for making the most
of the powerful cells I've created.
**[11:49] ---**
Why don't we do a little addition, you and me?
**[11:52] ---**
Let me handle the path to victory.
**[11:56] ---**
Your tenacity plus my tech
equals the power to seize victory.
**[12:02] ---**
With power, you can be stronger
than anyone else in this world.
**[12:07] ---**
I was dead set on power,
**[12:09] ---**
so I could withstand the
searing pain of those mysterious cells.
**[12:12] ---**
I was dead set on winning,
**[12:14] ---**
so I could throw myself into it,
again and again.
**[12:17] ---**
But I didn't get what I was after.
**[12:20] ---**
And the one I was
meant to kill is protecting me!
**[12:23] ---**
I... I can't lose to those nobodies...
**[12:30] ---**
What the--
**[12:35] ---**
This is anti-octopus cloth, right?
**[12:38] ---**
That's why *we've* gotta take
you down instead of that octopus!
**[12:43] ---**
Terasaka! Get the light in the tree!
**[12:46] ---**
On it!
**[12:47] ---**
You brats...!
**[12:52] ---**
But... why would you...
**[12:55] ---**
Don't take this the wrong way.
**[12:57] ---**
We're just ticked off at Shiro.
**[13:00] ---**
If Koro Sensei hadn't run off,
we would have left you behind.
**[13:03] ---**
Hayami said "Don't take this the wrong way!"
**[13:06] ---**
Talk about running hot and cold!
**[13:09] ---**
You sure you want to
be looking this way, Shiro?
**[13:14] ---**
If you stop shooting,
the netting'll come right off at the base.
**[13:18] ---**
You made it!
**[13:21] ---**
The netting is melting his tentacles!
**[13:23] ---**
We'll get you out of there!
**[13:25] ---**
Step down, Shiro.
**[13:27] ---**
We'll take Itona.
**[13:29] ---**
You always plan so carefully,
**[13:32] ---**
but once my students get involved,
those plans are ruined.
**[13:36] ---**
The sooner you notice the obvious, the better.
**[13:41] ---**
A class consisting of a monster
swarmed by tiny flies?
**[13:45] ---**
How infinitely irritating.
**[13:48] ---**
But I will allow that my plan
needs some radical revisions.
**[13:55] ---**
Keep the boy. He'll only live
another two, three days as it is.
**[14:00] ---**
Play nice together, now.
**[14:04] ---**
Studying, integrity--lies, all of it.
**[14:07] ---**
In the end, it all comes down to
whether I have overwhelming strength.
**[14:15] ---**
As long as Itona has a pathological
attachment to power and winning,
**[14:19] ---**
his tentacle cells will stick so tight
that we can't remove them.
**[14:22] ---**
Can't we cut them off somehow?
**[14:24] ---**
Not until we get rid of his attachment.
**[14:27] ---**
That's why we have to know
more about how he got this way.
**[14:30] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[14:32] ---**
I kinda doubt he'll be
forthcoming about his life story.
**[14:35] ---**
Actually, about that...
**[14:38] ---**
I was curious:
**[14:40] ---**
Why was Itona going after cell phone shops?
**[14:43] ---**
"City Pages"
Why was Itona going after cell phone shops?
**[14:43] ---**
"City Pages"
So I had Ritsu look up some stuff about him,
**[14:47] ---**
"City Pages"
and it turns out
**[14:48] ---**
and it turns out
**[14:48] ---**
the president of this company
**[14:50] ---**
had a son named Itona Horibe.
**[14:50] ---**
"Horibe Electronics"
had a son named Itona Horibe.
**[14:53] ---**
This little factory supplied
smartphone parts around the world.
**[14:57] ---**
Two years ago it went under,
burdened with debt.
**[15:00] ---**
The president and his wife vanished,
leaving their son behind.
**[15:04] ---**
We started to see the reason behind
Itona's lust for power, for victory.
**[15:11] ---**
Pfft, is that all?
That made him into a delinquent?
**[15:17] ---**
Everybody's worried about somethin'.
**[15:20] ---**
Big problems, little ones...
**[15:24] ---**
We'll take him in, look after him.
If he dies, well, that's that.
**[15:32] ---**
Look, Itona. Even a tiny factory like ours
**[15:36] ---**
can compete with the big names
if we work with integrity.
**[15:43] ---**
What a load of crap.
**[15:46] ---**
But why? You know
all our techniques! If you leave us...
**[15:52] ---**
Studying and integrity are meaningless
**[15:55] ---**
in the face of superior, overwhelming power.
**[16:00] ---**
I'm sorry, Itona. Go live with your uncle.
**[16:09] ---**
You're awake. Finally.
**[16:14] ---**
We refashioned the
anti-tentacle netting into a bandana.
**[16:16] ---**
Just for peace of mind.
**[16:18] ---**
But you can't pop out any tentacles, can you?

He's got to be hungry, right? He'll feel better after he eats.
**[16:32] ---**
He's got to be hungry, right? He'll feel better after he eats.
**[16:33] ---**
Well? Isn't our ramen totally gross?
**[16:36] ---**
I keep telling my old man,
but he won't change the recipe.
**[16:39] ---**
It *is* gross. And stale.
**[16:42] ---**
The soup uses MSG to cover up
the corners cut on chicken bones.
**[16:45] ---**
The main topping is a swirl
of fishcake, placed with pride.
**[16:48] ---**
This is from four generations back.
This is 1950s ramen.
**[16:51] ---**
This punk knows his stuff!
**[16:53] ---**
If a chain store opened nearby,
this place would be toast.
**[16:58] ---**
My father may have studied,
but he still suffered a tragic loss.
**[17:03] ---**
Let's hit my place next.
**[17:05] ---**
Our modern tech'll put
this fossilized ramen to shame!
**[17:10] ---**
Why, you--!
**[17:11] ---**
"Yoshida Motors"
**[17:15] ---**
Whaddya think, Itona?
Let the speed blow your cares away!
**[17:18] ---**
An unlicensed junior-high kid?
You sure about this?
**[17:21] ---**
It *is* on Yoshida's family property.
**[17:23] ---**
Feeling good and hyped?
**[17:25] ---**
It's not bad.
**[17:26] ---**
All riiight!
Now for my high-speed braking turn!
**[17:32] ---**
You idiot! Go help him!
What if the shock sets him off again?!
**[17:37] ---**
Aw, that's not enough to hurt him!
**[17:39] ---**
They're just flying by the seat of their pants.
**[17:42] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:43] ---**
I mean, they're basically idiots.
What do you want?
**[17:47] ---**
But at least Hazama's got some brains.

But at least Hazama's got some brains.
**[17:50] ---**
"*The Count of Monte Cristo*" "Alexandre Dumas"
You want to get back at Shiro, don't you?
**[17:53] ---**
You want to get back at Shiro, don't you?
**[17:53] ---**
The famous novel of revenge:
*The Count of Monte Cristo*.
**[17:57] ---**
Seven volumes, 2,500 pages.
**[17:59] ---**
Read this and feed the darkness within.
**[18:02] ---**
He gives up on his revenge toward the end,
**[18:04] ---**
so don't bother reading that far.
**[18:05] ---**
That's too hard!
**[18:07] ---**
Hazama, your stuff is always
way too involved *and* way too dark!
**[18:10] ---**
What? You've got to
cherish the darkness in your heart!
**[18:14] ---**
Don't you have an easier way to cheer him up?
**[18:17] ---**
This guy probably ain't the brightest--
**[18:21] ---**
Uh-oh. He's getting all twitchy.
**[18:23] ---**
Probably pissed that Terasaka called him dumb.
**[18:26] ---**
No...
**[18:27] ---**
It's the tentacles.
He's going to flip out on us again!
**[18:31] ---**
I'm not like you, fine with any old way.
**[18:34] ---**
I'll do it now! I'll kill him,
and victory will be mine!
**[18:40] ---**
Terasaka!
**[18:41] ---**
Hey, Itona. I thought about
killin' that octopus today, too.
**[18:47] ---**
But you can't do it--not right away.
**[18:52] ---**
Get rid of that impossible vision
of yours. It's easier that way.
**[18:57] ---**
Shut up!
**[19:00] ---**
That's the second time...
and you're weaker now. Easier to grab.
**[19:04] ---**
Still hurts enough to wanna barf, though.
**[19:08] ---**
And *that* just reminds me
of Muramatsu's ramen.
**[19:11] ---**
Hey!
**[19:12] ---**
"Intro to Business" "Restaurant Management Manual"
Hey!
**[19:12] ---**
"Intro to Business" "Restaurant Management Manual"
That octopus told him to study business.
**[19:14] ---**
"Ramen" "Gyoza" "Matsuraikan"
That octopus told him to study business.
**[19:17] ---**
Gross ramen is fine for now.
One day, when he takes over,
**[19:21] ---**
his new flavors and management skills
will get that joint jumpin'.
**[19:26] ---**
He told Yoshida the same thing--
it could come in handy *someday*.
**[19:31] ---**
C'mon, Itona.
**[19:33] ---**
Don't let a couple losses throw you off course!
**[19:36] ---**
All you gotta do is win *someday*.
**[19:39] ---**
And when it comes to killin' that octopus...
it don't hafta be now.
**[19:43] ---**
We can fail a hundred times over.
**[19:45] ---**
Just kill him *once* before March... and we win.
**[19:51] ---**
You can use the prize money
to buy back your dad's factory.
**[19:55] ---**
Then your folks could come back.
**[19:58] ---**
I can't stand this.
**[20:00] ---**
What do I do until I come up with
my next vision of victory?
**[20:04] ---**
Huh?
**[20:06] ---**
You act like an idiot, like we did today!
That's what we're here for!
**[20:13] ---**
What other idiot could say that
with a straight face?
**[20:17] ---**
Although...
**[20:18] ---**
Sometimes a word from an idiot
is all you need to chill things out.
**[20:24] ---**
So I was being... hasty?
**[20:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:29] ---**
I think you were.
**[20:30] ---**
That tint of attachment
is gone from your eyes, Itona.
**[20:34] ---**
We can remove those
painful tentacle cells now.
**[20:38] ---**
In losing one great power,
you gain many friends.
**[20:43] ---**
You'll come kill me, won't you?
**[20:45] ---**
"Yoshida Motors"
You'll come kill me, won't you?
**[20:45] ---**
"Yoshida Motors"
Starting tomorrow?
**[20:47] ---**
Starting tomorrow?
**[20:48] ---**
Suit yourself.
**[20:50] ---**
I'm sick of this power--
and this whole "brothers" thing, too.
**[20:56] ---**
Hey, you made it! No more
busting through the wall, okay?
**[21:01] ---**
'Morning! That bandana's a good look on you!
**[21:04] ---**
Good morning. And how are you feeling?
**[21:07] ---**
Awful, now that I've lost my power.
**[21:11] ---**
But I don't feel any weaker.
**[21:14] ---**
In the end, I *will* kill you, Koro Sensei.
**[21:18] ---**
And so problem child Itona Horibe
**[21:20] ---**
finally joined our class.
**[21:23] ---**
"Tentacle"
finally joined our class.
**[21:23] ---**
"Tentacle"
Hey, Muramatsu--I'm broke.
**[21:25] ---**
"Tentacle"
I'll try not to barf, so let me have some ramen.
**[21:28] ---**
"Tentacle"
And he's in Terasaka's group.
**[21:41] ---**
*The moon that swims in the night sky*
**[21:46] ---**
*If you stretch out your hand, you can reach it*
**[21:52] ---**
*I went to touch it: it was warm*
**[21:57] ---**
*And slowly drew me in*
**[22:03] ---**
*The multiplying footsteps,
the view from my window:*
**[22:14] ---**
*As I drifted along, expressionless*
**[22:19] ---**
*They spilled out of my hands*
**[22:24] ---**
*It was rocking, swaying--I never knew*
**[22:31] ---**
*Until I touched it with my own hands*
**[22:36] ---**
*I'll gather up
and go through all of the things*
**[22:42] ---**
*Scattered beneath the waning moon*
