"Old Campus"\n
**[00:08] ---**
Now, then, class...\n
**[00:10] ---**
Shall we begin?\n
**[00:12] ---**
Begin *what*?
**[00:14] ---**
--Midterm time has rolled around.\n--Yes, that's right.\n
**[00:17] ---**
And that's why this period\n
**[00:18] ---**
will be spent in a high-speed study session!\n
**[00:22] ---**
My clones can work with you one-on-one\n
**[00:24] ---**
to drill you on each of your worst subjects.\n
**[00:28] ---**
Ridiculous. He even switches\nheadbands for each subject.\n
**[00:34] ---**
Hey! Why do I get a *Naruto* headband?!
**[00:37] ---**
I think Koro Sensei\n
**[00:38] ---**
is getting faster and faster.\n
**[00:41] ---**
Six Japanese, eight math, three social studies,\n
**[00:45] ---**
four science, four English, one *Naruto*.
**[00:49] ---**
Splitting up for each student like that?\n
**[00:52] ---**
It wasn't too long ago that he could\nonly handle four or five clones.\n
**[00:56] ---**
No sneak assassinations now, Karma!\n
**[00:59] ---**
Dodging will disrupt my persistence of vision!\n
**[01:02] ---**
These clones are so fine and delicate.\n
**[01:06] ---**
But do you have any strength\nleft after making them?\n
**[01:09] ---**
Not to worry.\n
**[01:11] ---**
I have one clone resting outside.\n
**[01:13] ---**
How is *that* helping?!
**[01:16] ---**
This power-up in acceleration...\n
**[01:18] ---**
I wonder if it's preparation\nfor destroying the Earth in a year.\n
**[01:23] ---**
No matter how you slice it,\nhe's one tricky target for us killers.\n
**[01:27] ---**
So,\n
**[01:27] ---**
do you understand so far, Nagisa?\n
**[01:31] ---**
Yes, sir.\n
**[01:32] ---**
If you're facing exams...\nhe's a good teacher to have.\n
**[01:42] ---**
*The theory... of savage youth! *
**[01:51] ---**
*I only speak when it's time to act *
**[01:55] ---**
*I know that's pretty cool *
**[01:57] ---**
*(Searching for our target: we're savage) *
**[02:00] ---**
*Our feelings stray-- they get lost, but move forward *
**[02:04] ---**
*Maybe we're only halfway helpless *
**[02:10] ---**
*What's this wave of irritation? *
**[02:14] ---**
*Proof of our existence? *
**[02:17] ---**
*Look up at the moon and up you go *
**[02:20] ---**
*C'mon now: C-c'mon k-kill c-c'mon --start! *
**[02:25] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag *
**[02:29] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag *
**[02:32] ---**
*The breakthrough you whispered about is finally worth a shout *
**[02:39] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag (you can do it if you try) *
**[02:42] ---**
*Haven't gone through with it-- that's why it's a drag (I know you can) *
**[02:45] ---**
*"Whatever" is easy to say *
**[02:49] ---**
*But I want to struggle now, I want to burst with you *
**[02:55] ---**
*But still: youth, to the future! *
**[03:01] ---**
*C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! The theory of savage youth! *

"Episode 6: Test Time"\n
**[03:15] ---**
"Staff Room"\nI want to line up the colors \n
**[03:16] ---**
on this cube--all of them, and quickly,\nwith a method anyone could use.\n
**[03:21] ---**
Goodbye, Koro Sensei!\n
**[03:22] ---**
How would you go about it,\n
**[03:24] ---**
--Hope you manage to kill me tomorrow!\n--teachers?\n
**[03:27] ---**
The answer is simple.\n
**[03:30] ---**
"Principal Gakuho Asano"\n
**[03:30] ---**
Take them apart and put them\nback together again. Very logical.\n
**[03:36] ---**
We meet at last, Koro Sensei.\n
**[03:41] ---**
He says he's the principal of this place.\n
**[03:44] ---**
As teachers, he's our boss.\n
**[03:48] ---**
My, my--you've come all this way (knead knead)!\n
**[03:50] ---**
Say, might I receive a little bump in my salary?\n
**[03:54] ---**
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #6:\nSubservient to higher-ups"\n
**[03:56] ---**
I must apologize.\n
**[03:59] ---**
I'd meant to come pay my respects.\n
**[04:03] ---**
The Ministry of Defense and\nMr. Karasuma have told me all about you.\n
**[04:08] ---**
I can't claim to understand everything, but...\n
**[04:14] ---**
How very sad you are. Looking to\nbecome the savior of the world,\n
**[04:21] ---**
only to fall into the role of the\ngreat villain who would destroy it.\n
**[04:26] ---**
Savior? Villain?\n
**[04:29] ---**
But let's set that aside for now.\n
**[04:33] ---**
Struggle as I might, I cannot hope\nto save the planet from its crisis.\n
**[04:38] ---**
Barring the unexpected, I'll stay out\nof your assassination altogether.\n
**[04:44] ---**
You've certainly paid me enough.\n
**[04:48] ---**
That will be helpful.\n
**[04:49] ---**
Well, aren't you rational!\nI do like a rational man.\n
**[04:55] ---**
I'm honored. However...\n
**[04:59] ---**
As principal, I must consider\nwhat's in store next year and beyond,\n
**[05:03] ---**
should the Earth survive.\n
**[05:05] ---**
In other words, if someone\ndoes happen to kill you,\n
**[05:09] ---**
what is this school's future?\n
**[05:12] ---**
Frankly, we need the E Class to remain as it is.\n
**[05:21] ---**
As it is? You mean, with rock-bottom\ngrades and treatment, like now?\n
**[05:26] ---**
Yes. Are you familiar with\nthe worker ant principle?\n
**[05:31] ---**
In any group, 20 percent will be lazy,\n20 percent will work hard,\n
**[05:36] ---**
and the remaining 60 percent will be average.\n
**[05:40] ---**
My goal is a group with 5 percent\nslackers and 95 percent hard workers.\n
**[05:48] ---**
"I don't want to be like the E Class."\n
**[05:51] ---**
"I don't want to be *in* the E Class."
**[05:53] ---**
With 95 percent of students thus determined,\n
**[05:57] ---**
my ideal ratio is attainable.\n
**[06:01] ---**
I see. How logical.\n
**[06:04] ---**
Then the 5 percent in the E Class\nmust be kept weak and pitiful.\n
**[06:09] ---**
I received a complaint from\nthe D Class teacher today:\n
**[06:14] ---**
"A student from E Class\nglared at one of my students\n
**[06:18] ---**
and threatened to kill him."\n
**[06:23] ---**
I'm sure the glare is part and parcel\nof the whole assassination thing.\n
**[06:27] ---**
And that's fine.\n
**[06:29] ---**
The problem\n
**[06:31] ---**
lies in a student with rock-bottom\ngrades defying a regular one.\n
**[06:37] ---**
Under my policies, that cannot stand.\n
**[06:42] ---**
Please tell him in no uncertain\nterms to control himself.\n
**[06:46] ---**
Oh, and--Koro Sensei?\n
**[06:48] ---**
You have one second. Solve this.\n
**[06:51] ---**
What? Just like that?!\n
**[06:53] ---**
"One Second Later"\n
**[06:55] ---**
What the hell is this?!\n
**[06:56] ---**
"Koro Sensei's Weak Point #7:\nMetal ring puzzles freak him out"\n
**[06:58] ---**
Your amazing speed lives up to the hype.\n
**[07:01] ---**
No doubt you can dodge\nany attempt on your life.\n
**[07:05] ---**
But you know, Koro Sensei...\n
**[07:08] ---**
There are some problems speed can't solve.\n
**[07:15] ---**
Now, if you'll excuse me.\n
**[07:24] ---**
Hey there! Looking forward to seeing\nyour midterm results! Good luck.\n
**[07:38] ---**
With that dry "good luck,"\n
**[07:41] ---**
I went from being an assassin\nback to the End Class, just like that.\n
**[07:48] ---**
As a target, this guy is practically invincible.\n
**[07:52] ---**
His assassination is\nentirely within his control.\n
**[07:56] ---**
But as a teacher, there's someone\nmore powerful pulling the strings:\n
**[08:04] ---**
the principal of Kunugigaoka\nAcademy, Gakuho Asano.\n
**[08:08] ---**
"Education's Favored Son"\n
**[08:09] ---**
A shrewd manager who, in its first ten years,\nmade this school one of the nation's best.\n
**[08:15] ---**
There's no escaping the\nstructure he's built here.\n
**[08:20] ---**
Not even for you.\n
**[08:26] ---**
"The Next Day"\n
**[08:28] ---**
Good morning, class.\n
**[08:31] ---**
Today I've tried making even more of me!\n
**[08:34] ---**
That's way too many!\n
**[08:37] ---**
Now, let's begin.\n
**[08:39] ---**
Even the afterimages are getting sloppy.\n
**[08:41] ---**
So sloppy, it's like he's\nturning into someone else!\n
**[08:44] ---**
What wrong, Koro Sensei? Isn't this a little *too* gung ho?
**[08:48] ---**
Hmm? Not at all!\n
**[08:52] ---**
We need the E Class to remain as it is.\n
**[09:01] ---**
You know, he does look pretty beat.\n
**[09:04] ---**
Maybe now's our chance!\n
**[09:06] ---**
Why's he teachering this hard, anyway?\n
**[09:11] ---**
All to get your test scores up!\nIf that happens...\n
**[09:17] ---**
Koro Sensei!\n
**[09:19] ---**
I got a good score--thanks to you!\n
**[09:21] ---**
"Students gazing at him with respect"\nI can't live without your classes, Koro Sensei!\n
**[09:24] ---**
"Students gazing at him with respect"\nI could never kill you!\n
**[09:26] ---**
"Local big-chested college students"\nOh, sir, help us study, too!\n
**[09:28] ---**
"who've heard how good he is"\nOh, sir, help us study, too!\n
**[09:29] ---**
...and with no fear of being killed,\nI'll be rolling in good fortune!\n
**[09:35] ---**
Uh,\n
**[09:36] ---**
the whole studying part is fine and all...\n
**[09:39] ---**
Yeah, but if we assassinate him,\nwe get ten billion yen.\n
**[09:43] ---**
And with ten billion, you don't need\ngood grades to live the good life!\n
**[09:48] ---**
I-Is that what you think?!\n
**[09:50] ---**
We're the End Class, Koro Sensei.\n
**[09:53] ---**
Assassination is way more\naccessible to us than any exam.\n
**[09:59] ---**
Ah. I see how it is.\n
**[10:03] ---**
How what is?\n
**[10:06] ---**
You still don't have what\nit takes to be assassins.\n
**[10:12] ---**
Out into the schoolyard, all of you!\n
**[10:24] ---**
What's the big idea, sendin' us\nall out into the yard like this?\n
**[10:27] ---**
Who knows? A bad mood\ncame over him all of a sudden.\n
**[10:31] ---**
One good thing about the E Class system\n
**[10:34] ---**
is its built-in remedial process.\n
**[10:37] ---**
By scoring in the top 50 of\n186 students on periodic exams\n
**[10:42] ---**
and receiving permission from\ntheir former teacher to return,\n
**[10:46] ---**
they can leave this outcast E Class.\n
**[10:49] ---**
However,\n
**[10:50] ---**
it's too difficult to meet these\nconditions given their poor grades\n
**[10:55] ---**
in this inferior academic environment.\n
**[10:58] ---**
Most E Class students,\n
**[11:00] ---**
with their sense of inferiority\nthat remediation is far out of reach,\n
**[11:03] ---**
accept this harsh discrimination.\n
**[11:07] ---**
What do you mean, hurry up?\n
**[11:09] ---**
Koro Sensei asked us to bring you.\n
**[11:12] ---**
Ms. Irina, let me ask you something\nas a professional assassin.\n
**[11:17] ---**
What *is* all this?
**[11:19] ---**
When you're on a job, do you\nhave one single plan prepared?\n
**[11:25] ---**
No...\n
**[11:26] ---**
It's not often that my\nmain plan goes as expected.\n
**[11:30] ---**
Making more detailed backup plans\nin preparation for any contingencies\n
**[11:34] ---**
is Assassination 101.\n
**[11:36] ---**
And you, Mr. Karasuma.\n
**[11:39] ---**
When you teach knife skills, is the\nfirst strike the only important one?\n
**[11:46] ---**
The first strike is of course\nthe most important,\n
**[11:49] ---**
but your next move matters, too.\n
**[11:51] ---**
Against a powerful foe,\n
**[11:53] ---**
your first blow is likely to be dodged,\n
**[11:56] ---**
so the precision with which you can\nland your second and third blows\n
**[12:00] ---**
can decide the fight.\n
**[12:02] ---**
Look, what are you getting at?\n
**[12:06] ---**
As your teachers have said,\n
**[12:08] ---**
having a trusty second step is what\nmakes for a confident assassin.\n
**[12:13] ---**
But what about you?\n
**[12:16] ---**
"We've got assassination, and that's enough,"\n
**[12:19] ---**
you think, and down go your academic goals.\n
**[12:22] ---**
You're just trying not to face the\nreason for your inferiority complex.\n
**[12:28] ---**
What if I got away from this classroom?\n
**[12:32] ---**
If another killer managed to do me in?\n
**[12:36] ---**
Without the assassination\nyou rely on, all you're left with\n
**[12:39] ---**
is good ol' E Class inferiority.\n
**[12:43] ---**
A word of advice from me to you,\nas you walk that fine line:\n
**[12:49] ---**
Those who can't wield a second blade\n
**[12:52] ---**
aren't qualified to be an assassin!\n
**[13:04] ---**
What the--?!\n
**[13:05] ---**
There's a huge tornado\non the E Class's mountain!\n
**[13:10] ---**
Show-off.\n
**[13:25] ---**
The yard was very uneven and\nfull of weeds. I tidied it up.\n
**[13:35] ---**
I am a super-creature capable\nof wiping out the Earth.\n
**[13:39] ---**
Flattening out this area\nhere is a piece of cake.\n
**[13:44] ---**
If you can't show me\nthat trusty second blade,\n
**[13:49] ---**
I'll know there's no assassin in\nthis classroom worth taking me on,\n
**[13:54] ---**
and I'll flatten this entire campus before I go.\n
**[13:58] ---**
A second blade? When?\n
**[14:02] ---**
Tomorrow, of course.\n
**[14:06] ---**
I want all of you in the top 50\nafter tomorrow's midterms.\n
**[14:13] ---**
I've already been developing\nyour second blades.\n
**[14:18] ---**
I don't use the doltish teaching\nmethods they do at the main campus.\n
**[14:23] ---**
Wield those blades with all confidence!\n
**[14:28] ---**
Succeed in your mission and hold\nyour head high, smiling, unashamed.\n
**[14:33] ---**
You are proud assassins--\nand proud members of the E Class!\n
**[14:39] ---**
Then...\n
**[14:41] ---**
...it was midterm time.\n
**[14:55] ---**
"3-E Midterms" "First Period: Math"\n
**[15:05] ---**
All students took these\nexams at the main campus,\n
**[15:10] ---**
which means it was an away game\nonly for us E Class students.\n
**[15:26] ---**
One knife isn't enough to kill it!\nWhat's with this Question 4?!\n
**[15:31] ---**
"Question 4"\n
**[15:41] ---**
I was well aware...\n
**[15:45] ---**
...that our school's exams are the pits.\n
**[15:49] ---**
Oh, no... I don't know where to begin!\n
**[15:53] ---**
If this keeps up, this question...\n
**[15:59] ---**
...will do me in!\n
**[16:09] ---**
Seriously? You'll really leave if\nthey don't all make the top fifty?\n
**[16:14] ---**
Yes.\n
**[16:16] ---**
No way in hell! They've had the\nworst grades until just recently!\n
**[16:21] ---**
I wonder. I don't know about the past,\nbut they're my students now.\n
**[16:28] ---**
When you're in a tight spot, protect yourself.\n
**[16:32] ---**
That's the weapon I've given them.\n
**[16:41] ---**
I'm sure I taught you this.\n
**[16:43] ---**
That's no mystery monster.\n
**[16:46] ---**
"Question 4"\n
**[16:47] ---**
Start by observing that fin carefully.\n
**[16:50] ---**
See? On closer inspection, it's just a fin.\n
**[16:54] ---**
Look carefully at each part\nof the question one by one,\n
**[16:57] ---**
then string them all together to see the whole:\n
**[17:00] ---**
"Question 4"\n
**[17:00] ---**
"Question 4"\nSee? What a trivial adversary!\n
**[17:04] ---**
Now use your blade to cook it up.\n
**[17:10] ---**
I got it!\n
**[17:14] ---**
The trick to working out the\nimportant parts of a question--\n
**[17:19] ---**
it's all just like Koro Sensei taught us!\n
**[17:32] ---**
This question...\n
**[17:36] ---**
...is dead meat!\n
**[17:39] ---**
And the next one!\n
**[17:41] ---**
And the one after that!\n
**[17:43] ---**
And--\n
**[17:56] ---**
"Question 11"\n
**[18:05] ---**
And then an unseen question\nbeat us to death from behind.\n
**[18:13] ---**
What's the meaning of this?\n
**[18:17] ---**
I felt the test was markedly\nlacking in fairness.\n
**[18:20] ---**
That's strange.\n
**[18:21] ---**
"Nagisa Shiota - Ranked 105th of 186."\nYou should have been notified.\n
**[18:24] ---**
"Yuma Isogai - Ranked 68th of 186."\nMaybe some kind of communication slip-up on your end?\n
**[18:27] ---**
I mean, you never come to the main campus.\n
**[18:28] ---**
"Ryoma Terasaka - Ranked 159th of 186."\nI mean, you never come to the main campus.\n
**[18:31] ---**
I can't say there was--\nand regardless, this is highly unusual.\n
**[18:37] ---**
Two days before the exams,\n
**[18:39] ---**
and you broaden the scope to cover *all* subjects?
**[18:41] ---**
You don't seem to understand, uh, Mr. Karasuma.\n
**[18:45] ---**
We are a prep school.\n
**[18:48] ---**
Testing students on last-minute\ncramming is part of our policies.\n
**[18:54] ---**
Why, the main-campus students\nhad the principal himself\n
**[18:58] ---**
take the stage and give a splendid\nlecture about the changes.\n
**[19:06] ---**
Is there nothing that man won't do\nin the name of his own doctrine?\n
**[19:13] ---**
They've put us in a fine spot.\n
**[19:16] ---**
If he leaves the E Class, we lose everything.\n
**[19:30] ---**
I take all responsibility.\n
**[19:33] ---**
I seem to have underestimated\nthe system at this school.\n
**[19:38] ---**
I can't bear to face you.\n
**[19:46] ---**
You sure?\n
**[19:48] ---**
If you can't face us,\nyou can't see me coming to kill you.\n
**[19:53] ---**
Karma! I'm very depressed right now, and--\n
**[19:59] ---**
Changing the questions didn't matter to me.\n
**[20:03] ---**
Whoa!\n
**[20:04] ---**
100 in math? No way!\n
**[20:07] ---**
With my grades, you taught...\n
**[20:09] ---**
--We've come this far, so why not move further ahead?\n--...more than you had to.\n
**[20:12] ---**
So I could handle the questions \neven if they'd changed their scope.\n
**[20:16] ---**
--You're great at this, Karma.\n--Still,\n
**[20:18] ---**
I won't be leaving.\n
**[20:21] ---**
Assassination is way more fun\nthan going back to my old class.\n
**[20:26] ---**
So what's the plan?\n
**[20:29] ---**
You gonna use our not all\nmaking it into the top fifty\n
**[20:33] ---**
as an excuse to turn tail and run?\n
**[20:36] ---**
You're just afraid of being killed, that's all.\n
**[20:48] ---**
Oh, is that it? You were afraid!\n
**[20:52] ---**
You should have just told us!\n
**[20:54] ---**
Right? Like, "I'm scared\nand want to run away!"\n
**[21:03] ---**
I am *not* running away!
**[21:05] ---**
Oh? Then what?\n
**[21:08] ---**
We'll get revenge on them\ntwofold in the end-of-term exams!\n
**[21:13] ---**
This is no laughing matter!\n
**[21:15] ---**
Honestly!\n
**[21:16] ---**
We ran smack into a wall\nthere with our midterms,\n
**[21:18] ---**
--Aren't you thoroughly disappointed?!\n--a big thick wall surrounding the E Class.\n
**[21:23] ---**
\n--But inside, I was proud.\n
**[21:25] ---**
--Ready, now, after me: *fight*! --But inside, I was proud.
**[21:27] ---**
--Ready, now, after me: *fight*! --Proud to be in the E Class.

*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 *
**[22:10] ---**
*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 *
**[22:25] ---**
*I saw last night--I was waiting for... *
**[22:33] ---**
*Hello, shooting star *
**[22:35] ---**
*Hello, shooting star again *
**[22:38] ---**
*She's been waiting *
**[22:39] ---**
*That dreaming girl has been here *
**[22:44] ---**
*All this time, ah ah *
**[22:50] ---**
*Just like she was that day, ah ah *
**[22:56] ---**
*Shine again *
