Assassination Classroom (暗殺教室)

How 'bout that play, huh?

Talk about fun!

Sugino gave the performance of a lifetime.

Didn't know you had it in you

to make such an evil face.

The whole time all I could think about

was how it must've looked to Kanzaki.

I was hideous. She probably hates me now...

That's not true, silly!

I... actually thought it was cool you could be so believable

in the role. Seriously?

Wow! Maybe I oughtta retire from baseball and pursue acting!

No need to pick one or the other,

pitchers need to act.

Ah, what a pleasure to see unexpected talent

on full display!

Aw, man.

That's gonna be a pain to clean up.

Yeah, I was cleaning up and my hand slipped.

Sorry.

These are the beads we used for the river in our play.

I got 'em on loan from a prop supply store.

No worries. We'll tackle it together.

Thanks, Nagisa!

I didn't wanna get in the way of everybody's

assassination plans, so, y'know...

Ah-ha.

I was wondering where the pair of you suddenly disappeared to.

I'm glad to be of assistance if needed.

Oh. That'd be wonderful, sir!

He's got his back to us.

Defenseless.

Of course, if it were really that simple,

we wouldn't have had to work so hard this past year.

Something smells fishy...

Oh, during the school festival,

we used this place to smoke fish.

So many different school events.

Uh-huh. No kidding. Feels weird.

Once this is cleared up, they'll all be behind us.

Yeah. Lot of memories though, huh?

Makes me think of the first time Koro-sensei showed up here.

You children were

complete amateurs back then.

I know... I couldn't get anywhere near you.

Neither could Sugino.

Remember how when Karma came,

he grilled you about Koro-sensei and even then,

nothing he tried worked?

Or how jealous I was of Itona?

I was so sure he was gonna get him first.

Whoa-ho!

Another of Okajima's hidey holes, apparently.

This class let me do so much.

Stuff I'd have never done on my own.

Not to be ungrateful, but this is kinda sad.

First of all, I can't even swim.

When my mind's fixed on something, I just keep rolling.

I guess.

That's what it is to be an assassin.

Not even your close friends get to see your true blade.

I'll get you.

It's only a matter of time.

As for my true blade...

I have more than one.

Didn't you notice?

Whoa! A pitfall!

Oh, Koro-sensei.

How I love you!

Please die...

Kayano... You...

I watched closely.

Saw different assassins try and fail.

But the one thing they used that seemed most effective...

was a simple pitfall.

Oh no! An anti-me pool!

I have to get above ground quickly before it's too late!

Pretty good, right?!

I know exactly how your tentacles move.

After all, I studied you for over a year.

From the best seat in the house!

One more oughta do it!

Koro-sensei, are you all right?

What in the world? What just happened?

Are those what I think?

Since when does Kayano have tentacles?

Aw, dammit.

And I attacked you with everything I had.

You're slipperier than I thought.

Clearly.

Kaede! What is the meaning of this?!

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

My real name's not Kaede.

I'm Aguri Yukimura's little sister.

You get it now, don't you?

Murderer.

Wait, Yukimura?

When the girl we all thought we knew

suddenly dropped the act, her face looked cruel...

Like it belonged to someone else.

Oh well.

No point cryin' over spilt milk. I'll just have to reset.

Let's give it another whirl tomorrow, Koro-sensei.

Don't worry: I'll tell you where.

Now that we've fought tentacle-to-tentacle...

I'm feelin' pretty good about this.

Like I can kill you.

It's unthinkable.

If she grew those tentacles without a maintenance regimen,

the pain would've been beyond hellish.

There's no way she could've powered through it...

Not with a straight face.

Yeah, whatever.

I'm stuck on her being Yukimura's little sister!

She, uh, used to be our homeroom teacher, right?

Oh, man. Unbelievable.

I thought I recognized Kayano from somewhere.

Seeing her with her hair down and that evil look on her face

jogged my memory.

Do you remember Haruna Mase?

The acting prodigy who could disappear into any role

they threw at her?

She turned her back on the business years ago.

She looks and acts so different now.

I-I didn't even make the connection!

Which one is real?

The girl or the actor?

When I first set foot in the classroom,

I was surprised to say the least.

Who knew an unexpected reunion awaited me?

Aguri Yukimura's younger sister, a.k.a. Akari Yukimura...

ingratiated into the enemy camp under a false name.

I realized who she was and investigated.

As suspected, she was hiding tentacles.

Not only did she understand how they worked

and how to use them, she gleaned the knowledge

in a remarkably short time.

As tenacious as she is intelligent.

Able to maintain the facade under unimaginable pain.

Simply put, her mental fortitude cannot be overstated.

Nor can her considerable acting prowess.

Day after day, no one could guess her murderous intent.

She has a gift for assassination.

And in E Class, that means something.

I was on my way to see her.

We had a lot of catching up to do.

The talent agency had put my career on hold.

People stopped noticing me on the street.

Where's this freedom been all my life?

I'm almost tempted to apply for a day job!

What just happened...?

I was small, so I could crawl through the rubble easily.

If I'd have known what was waiting for me...

Aguri...

Big Sis!

Oh, God, talk to me!

Wake up! Aguri, please!

That's when I saw them.

On the ground next to her.

Vials of tentacle seed.

I don't know why I felt the need to take one with me.

I guess... some part of me understood if I was going to...

avenge my sister's death,

the stuff in that vial would be necessary.

"The Weaponized Tentacle Prototype

is compatible with human physiology.

Provided a strict regimen is adhered to,

otherwise, the pain is excruciating."

Nothing to it.

On principle, no different than being an actor.

When my mind's fixed on something, I just keep rolling.

I believe this is the first instance

we've seen of someone passing the entrance exam

out of the blue.

Forgive me. Kaede Kayano is it?

Yes. Thank you very much, sir.

Forged ID papers.

The name of a bit part I'd played in a made-for-TV movie.

And, presto, I was in.

Excuse me, but I understand this school has

a special class for students with behavioral issues?

Or is that just a rumor?

If my instincts were on point, in Kunigigaoka's E Class.

I'd find the monster that murdered my sister.

Oh, Akari.

You're so lucky you're cute.

What I wouldn't give to have taken after mom's side

of the family.

You're cute, too!

Please! When it comes to looks,

hair color's all we have in common.

So I dyed it.

Why the monster wanted to take over

my sister's teaching position, I had no earthly idea.

But... unless I wanted him to walk away scot-free...

...I had to stay in character...
