Shounen Assassination Classroom by Matsui Yuusei

[Nii]

I seem to recall having seen a flashback of Korosensei in the process of becoming the purple-thing he is nowadays while holding a wounded/dying woman in his arms, with her being the one to tell him to teach kids as he'd make a wonderful teacher. I'm going to guess Kayano is this woman's sister, although I have no clue as to in what chapter did that scene appear.

Pretty interesting chapter in any case

It's the first one:

Spoiler

Very likely that this woman is Yukimura, so the clash between Kayano and Korosensei is bound to reveal some stuff about the past. I like Hamy's theory too, it doesn't contradict that Yukimura was a former student of the chairman. Definitely looking forward to how this will turn out, the last two chapters have been excellent

New chapter out so go to your favorite online reader~

Spoiler

Well that little bit between Kayano and Nagisa was a bit saddening to see, at least we know who came up with his hair style and it wasn't a coincidence in resembling Kayano. That said I have to wonder one thing about Koro-sensei since there is so much emphasis on the pain that the tentacles cause... I wonder if he also experiences this pain? Yes he is a different being from the rest but... I wonder if that necessarily means he is exempt from feeling pain or is he merely acting? If he does feel pain from the tentacles could that possibly what spurs him to making good on his threat of destroying the world? I'm not sure if the tentacles actually are sentient but even if they aren't it seems to drive the users mad so... could this be Koro-sensei's real reason for wanting to be killed?

Man I love this development!

I really enjoyed Kayano's backstory. I feel like for once, her assuming Korosensei is a murderer is actually valid. Especially the note Korosensei gave, and how he was quite a top secret experiment, it makes sense she would resent him. Of course he didn't outright murder anyone, it was probably an accidental thing, but the assumption is enough.

I also loved how, even on a meta level, Kayano performed her role as a student. She initially had black hair, which would have made her actually fade into the background. But instead she dyed her hair bright green (inadvertently making her more of a protagonist) and then proceded to act like a supporting character. She stood out, but just enough that no one would question her behavior. It was a glorious act. I feel sorry for Nagisa, not only was Kayano only pretending to be his friend, but she made him the "main character" by masking her bloodlust with his own.

I find it interesting the students closest to Korosensei in the last panel are Karma and Nagisa. Are they going to tag-team to try and stop Kayano? Next week can't come fast enough!

So we got confirmation on my theory about Kayano's sister being the teacher from that flashback, yay Kayano's backstory makes a lot of sense, and you can't really blame her for thinking Korosensei killed her sister. and her assasination attempt's preparations were indeed thourough, considering how she arranged the ENTIRE thing up to her attempt.

Pretty good chapter, and the next one should be pretty interesting as well.

The one odd thing in this chapter was Shiro's revelation... Not sure if he means it in a literal or metaphorical way, though

Anyone gets the feeling that we are getting too many revelations for this story to have much longer to go?

Ha, yeah we are definitely in the endgame portion of the story. If Matsui stretched things, maybe we could see another five volumes, but personally, I feel it might be less.

But who knows. It's a very popular series; maybe Jump has him extend it (though I kinda hope not).

Matsui already said that he won't let the success influence the length of the series. I'm not worried he's going to drag it and there are no signs for it either.

 

[Teeba]

Yeah I'm with Googlez-kun on this. I know some people think AssClass is already extending its plot beyond its original capacity but I can't see that. You really needed the students of Class E to get their individual developments before we can sympathize with them where the plot is currently taking us. I feel like the direction of the plot is fine.

That being said, what do you guys think will happen with Kayano? Will she keep her tentacles or will Korosensei manage to convince her to get rid of them?

Spoiler

From the spoilers for 131, it looks like Kayano doesn't have much longer to live anyway. I think if she straight up dies it'll be really anti-climactic. So what if...the tentacles consume her and she becomes something like Korosensei? Now THAT would be a twist!

 

[Drmke]

I have all the faith in the world Matsui will not disappoint whenever he ends the series, and I'm betting on soon. But realistically, he probably doesn't get as much say in how long his series runs as we would like to think (contracts and what have you).

Regardless, no way Kayano dies (fingers crossed). Look at the other enemies turned regular students. Though I'm not totally sure how it will play out (probably with Koro-sensei completely explaining everything even beyond what the government would like and maybe what Teeba suggested which would be awesome), I'm super excited. I still don't see Koro-sensei as the final obstacle. I'm betting the principle comes back with a vengeance (or someone of a similar magnitude) to put the students on the final stage to reclaiming their lives from the social system they live in (the school to career system I mean that the series has discussed at length).

Re: [New] Assassination Classroom by Matsui Yuusei

Just saying considering his previous work I wouldn't be surprised if Kayano didn't end up living, but if she did she'd be a very formidable assassin given her ability to hatch schemes. That said I do expect her casualty though.

If she doesn't end up dying I feel she'll be bedridden in the hospital with some sort of coma.

Edit: New Chapter out guys~

Spoiler

Yeah she definitely isn't coming out of this unscathed, and I do think death seems more likely even if she survives seems like she'll likely be as I said comatose or a vegetable. Regardless, mental damage will set in.

 

[Teeba]

If my body gets too hot to bear, I'll just get even hotter and turn completely into tentacles!!

Yesss my crack theory is now possible! Tentacle monster!Kayano FTW~

In all honesty though, I was happy reading the chapter. I really liked that Kayano refuted everyone's plee to stop, and even called them "background characters".

 

[Googlez_kun]

Hm I really don't know what to expect. It's Matsui who is pretty twisted, so she might be damaged beyond repair, but it wouldn't surprise me, if she somehow got healed or whatever. Most arcs had a pretty happy ending, no matter what happened. What's more, in this case it would be directly Korosensei's fault if Kayano died, because she did all of that due to his actions and probably misleading message. In case she died, it would be a huge failure for him and I don't think he'll let that happen.
Still, I wonder how Korosensei wants to solve this problem.

 

[ShenGao]

Nagisa shows that he is definitely a man:

I love the ending of that chapter!

Mattsuuuiii!!!

OMG. That was very unexpected. I'm impressed! I wonder what will happen to Kayano now though. Surely things won't return to status quo next chapter, right?

Also....did Nagisa practice kissing, or does he have photographic memory?

 

[MBVC]

Of course that female teacher taught him kissing, if I remember correctly, she did kiss him on her first day in front of the class.

Nagisa has talent to be an assassin. That alone is enough XD
Sasuga Nagisa. Now you're a man for real compared to last year. I am so touched.
My fangirling heart aside I'm proud of his character development XD

 

[Hamy]

Spoiler

Can I just say I adore Karma and Rio's reaction to the kiss, taking out their smart phone and proceeding to capture the moment XD I love how these details about the characters still stand out amidst everything going on. And I definitely think this is the same kiss he learned from Bitch-sensei, she even smirks about it.

 

[Teeba]

The chapter is out!

The Platonic Kiss of Death. Pure amazement tbh. Nagisa is going to be a great assassin one day, combining Irina's seductive tactics with his own elements of surprise.

 

[Nii]

Well I didn't see this coming at all, awesome That's why I really like Matsui, you never know what to expect and then he comes up with something as bold and amazing as this, kudos. Surely Kayano and Nagisa could be one great assassin pairing

*slow clap*

First of all: Yes I also loved how Karma and Rio just make a picture... That is so in character. x'D
Also: Can we please take a minute to admire how absolutely badass Kayano looks on this page?

Spoiler

In the end it was yet another wtf-moment. Didn't think Nagisa would simply use Bitch-senseis weapon... x'D

Yes I am kinda sad nobody talked about how badass Kayano is I mean okay she's crazy but still.
Then again her blushing face when being kissed is adorable ^^
