http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3461d4800e49572a621345c7ba203606.jpg
%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]

The students of Kunugigaoka Junior High School's Class 3-E are the protagonists of the story. Infamous for containing the third-year students with the lowest grades, Class 3-E was designed to give the rest of the school (students and faculty included) a target for intense discrimination and thus a motive to keep their grades up. To add insult to injury, Class 3-E's students are banned from entering the main campus; their classroom is located in a worn-out hovel on a mountaintop about a kilometer away. This isolation is the ideal place for the top-secret assassination of an alien-like teacher who is threatening to destroy the world.

Despite being part of the class comprised of the school's "worst", each student has a characteristic which defines him/her and becomes his/her weapon. As the series progresses, they become better in assassination, P.E. ''and'' studying.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Class 3-E:

* AllMenArePerverts: While Okajima is the most blatant example, most of the other boys are not really better. In chapter 88, they start an operation to create the perfect camera-equipped mini-tank (which was originally meant to kill Koro-sensei) to peek under the girls' skirts. [[SeriousBusiness And all of these guys keep totally serious faces and a professional manner]].
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: As a byproduct of a school system that keeps their class in the lowest 5% in order to raise up the other 95% of the school. Of course, this only applies to their grades and popularity, [[BullyingADragon not their ability to kill]].
* AssassinsAreAlwaysBetrayed: The fact that nobody got hurt when [[spoiler:Shiro blew up a pool that most of Class-E was swimming in]] required a good deal of luck. The intention may not have been to hurt them, but it was clearly negligent of their safety.
* BadAss: All the teachers and students when comparing to normal people.
** BadassCrew[=/=]TrueCompanions: It took awhile but the whole class makes up a BadassCrew now. They really care about each other and get along well. If you mess with one of them, the whole class and their teacher(s) will aim for you. Such moments include ganging up against two students for messing with Maehara, and [[spoiler:working together to defeat Class A in the pole match, in order to stop Asano from telling the school that Isogai has been breaking the school rules by having a part-time job.]]
** BadassBookworm: While the whole premise behind the creation of Class-E may imply that the students in it are BookDumb, it's revealed that the students are pretty good at studying, but they're simply not ''good enough'' to achieve the grades that would keep them out of 3E. In the Final Exam arc, [[spoiler:they managed to beat Class-A in number of top spots for individual subjects secured. Together with Class A, they completely monopolized the Top 50.]]
* BerserkButton: When Bitch-sensei calls Class-E the "Misfits of the school" and tells them that studying would be meaningless, she gets pelted with school supplies by the whole class.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Invoked. The students occasionally mention wanting to "tsukkomi" in response to whatever ludicrous situation they've just been presented with.
* BookDumb: It's not that they're dumb or bad at school, they just happened to be the 5% of students who have the lowest grades in an extremely competitive, highly-ranked school, while the other 95% are extremely motivated not to become like them. The other students treat them as dumb people.
** EverybodyHatesMath: Math is the most common weak subject in the class, with eight people listing it as their weak point. There are also other weak subjects. Six people are bad in Japanese, four people in Science, four people in English, three people in social studies, and one person is bad in multiple subjects [[ShoutOut like]] ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''[[note]]The ''Naruto'' person is counted by his own and is not included with the students who are bad in only one particular subject[[/note]]. [[{{Pun}} Doing the math]], one particular student lacks any weak subject, presumably Ritsu, being an AI.
* CharacterTitle: The whole class is part of the Assassination Classroom.
* ChildSoldiers: A variation, in that they're training to be assassins rather than traditional soldiers. Their teachers are trying to ensure they can have a normal life in addition to their training.
* CodeName: Chapter 89 deals with all students having to refer to each other by [[EmbarrassingNickname embarrassing code names]] for the entire day.
** Sugino is "Baseball Freak".
** Sugaya is "[[ArtAttacker Artsy Bean Pole]]".
** Isogai is "[[SocialClimber Poor]] Commitee Member".
** Hayami is "{{Tsundere}} [[ColdSniper Sniper]]".
** Maehara is "[[TheCasanova Womanizing Bastard Guy]]".
** Mimura is "Mushroom Director".
** Kurahashi is "Flouncy [[NatureLover Stagbeetle]]".
** Yoshida is "Home Base".
** Muramatsu is "[[RealMenCanCook Loofah]]".
** [[spoiler:Itona]] is "[[GadgeteerGenius Rolling Riser]]".
** Terasaka is "Pseudo-Takaoka".
** Okuda is "[[MasterPoisoner Poison]] [[{{Meganekko}} Glasses]]".
** Kayano is "[[ACupAngst Forever 0]]".
** Kataoka is "Stern Lecture".
** Nakamura is "Gal English".
** Nagisa is "[[DudeLooksLikeALady Gender]]".
** Okamura is "[[AllMenArePerverts End of Perversion]]".
** Fuwa is "[[{{Otaku}} This Manga is Awesome!!]]".
** Karma is "Half of Middle 2".
** Chiba is "[[BlindingBangs Adult Game Protagonist]]".
** Kimura is "Justice". [[spoiler:This actually ''is'' his real name.]]
** Yada is "Ponytail and [[BuxomIsBetter Breasts]]".
** Okano is "[[SheFu Amazing Monkey]]".
** Karasuma-sensei is "[[SternTeacher Straight Lace]]".
** Koro-sensei names himself "The Imperial Prince of the Eternal Wind". Of course, since it is the only AwesomeMcCoolname, the outraged class decide to call him "Stupid Pervert Chicken Octopus" for the entire day instead.
* DamselInDistress[=/=]DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Happens to the class in the middle of the God of Death arc]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: Due to the series's LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters issue and the fact that Nagisa, Kayano and Karma tend to get the most focus, the majority of the students don't stand out that much. Though individual students do get [[ADayInTheLimelight focus chapters]] every now and then.
* DemotedToExtra:
** Happens a lot during the Assassination Island arc. First ten students get [[spoiler:poisoned]] and two of the remaining students stay behind to tend to them, leaving a total of 15 students for the infiltration of the Fukuma Palace Hotel. Koro-sensei suffers from DeusExitMachina, sidelining from most of the action. Once inside the hotel, Bitch-sensei splits off from the group to distract the reception guards, and Karasuma-sensei is demoted to being TheLoad due being exposed to an assassin's knockout gas.
*** The ten sick students are Okajima, Mimura, Maehara, Sugino, Hazama, Kurahashi, Nakamura, Hara, Kanzaki and Muramatsu. The two nurse students who stay with them are Okuda and Takebayashi. That means the 15 attack students are Nagisa, Karma, Kayano, Chiba, Hayami, Terasaka, Yoshida, Sugaya, Fuwa, Isogai, Kataoka, Okano, Yada, Kimura and Ritsu.
** The class gets demoted to extra in the middle of the God of Death arc since they are [[spoiler:in distress there]].
* DownplayedTrope: Generally speaking, the students of class E tend to have more subtle characterization that most shounen leads, possessing a few unique traits that stand out strongly. This doesn't mean that their characters are simplistic. Like real people, they merely exhibit various tropes in a way that is weaker than normal in fiction.
* FantasticallyIndifferent: After you've been drafted to assassinate a mach 20-moving, super-teaching eldritch smiley, your surprise may become somewhat miscalibrated. For example, after seeing someone casually walk straight through a wall, you may think "[[ThereWasADoor Use the damn door!]]" instead of "How did he do that!?"
** Well, in this case, they ''expected'' an eccentric transfer student after they heard what Ritsu, the other "eccentric" transfer student, told them.
* InformedFlaw: Class-E is supposedly composed of the high school's worst students, but plenty of them seem reasonably intelligent.
** In later chapters, it's revealed that they're the lower 5% of a school that is one of the most prestigious in the country. Their Class-E status is due to them being smart enough pass, but not enough to excel. Moreover, it's shown that some of the students are extremely skilled in some subjects, but very weak in others (Okuda is very skilled in both math and science, but has failing grades in Japanese).
** Then, there are students like Karma and Isogai, who were placed in Class-E as a disciplinary action. And it's revealed that at least three students (Kataoka, Hayami and Chiba) were victims of TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity, which caused their grades to dramatically slip.
** On top of that, later chapters show that the teaching methods used by the instructors in the main building are geared towards students who are able to learn via memorization and note-taking, while ignoring any other of the veritable cornucopia of learning styles that exist. Koro-sensei, who is willing to tailor his teaching methods to capitalize on various students' strengths, weaknesses, and interests, gets far better results (being able to do everything at Mach 20 tends to help).
* LastNameBasis: Everyone is called by their last names, with the exception of Nagisa, Karma, Ritsu and Itona.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: At the beginning of the series, we have 26 students and their homeroom teacher. Later on, two new teachers and two new transfer students join them. Because of this, it's really hard to focus on one of them for a period of time, and even some of the characters like Karma who gets more screentime than others don't appear frequently.
* MuggingTheMonster:
** Whenever one of the regular students try to bully someone from Class E it never ends well for them. They're lucky if they only end up fleeing in fear for their lives.
** Not just fellow students at the school. Do not try picking on the seemingly "weak" tourists simply because you're bored delinquents out to have a bit of fun.
* MundaneUtility: Their assassination skills are very useful in the matsuri games.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous[=/=]ShoutOutThemeNaming: Most of the students are named after the titular [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_ronin Forty-seven Ronin]]. However, many of the characters have altered names, either in how they are read or what kanji are used to write them. This may be a further reference to the oldest fictional versions of the story, which were written in a time when plays depicting current events were censored. To avoid that, the plays based on the story used different names and a different time period.
* NightmareFace: Sometimes, the students mimic Koro-sensei's regular face whenever he and they have a "sinister" plan.
* {{Ninja}}: Thanks to their training, they possess ninja-like sneaking techniques like "Nanba" and can climb up sheer cliffs with ease.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Many characters had the kanji for their names released without the correct reading specified for a long while. As of the fifth volume all readings are confirmed, but some websites still list them by the translator's early guesses.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The students come to this decision after [[spoiler:Itona almost kills Koro-sensei]], as they feel it's not "right" for a stranger to be allowed to kill their teacher.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* ShipperOnDeck: ''Everyone in the class'' for Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei.
* ShipTease: Some of the interactions between the students can be seen as this. This becomes more clear with [[ShipperOnDeck Koro-sensei's "Couple Setup" plan]], who pairs them (and the other teachers) in boy-girl groups in a test of courage, based on their interactions. Theknown pseudo couples are:
** Nagisa/Kayano: They interact with each other the most and Kayano is implied to have feelings for him.
** Karma/Okuda: Karma has openly stated that he is attracted to her, mostly because of her talents in making medicines, poisons and other chemical concoctions.
** Sugino/Kanzaki: It is known that Sugino has a crush on Kanzaki though his plans to impress her tend to fail.
** Chiba/Hayami: They are the best marksmen and appear together most of the time, especially in the Assassination Island arc. They also celebrate their victory against Gastro by crossing their arms together.
** Sugaya/Nakamura: It is not known why Koro-sensei paired them.
** Maehara/Okano: Okano gives him her towel when he was dumped by Tsuchiya and kicked by Seo. [[spoiler:Also very strongly hinted at in a series of SCRAP puzzles released in volumes 5-8.]]
** Okajima/Kurahashi: Also unknown, but both have ADayInTheLimelight in the same chapter.
** The delinquent group of [[ThreesomeSubtext Terasaka, Muramatsu and Hazama]].
** Karasuma-sensei/Bitch-sensei: The only adults besides Koro-sensei. Notable for having to largest amount of ''actual'' subtext between them. This becomes so obvious, that the [[ShipperOnDeck whole class starts to make a plan to help Bitch-sensei confess]].
* SlobsVersusSnobs: The slobs to Class 3-A's snobs.
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** Nagisa, Kayano and Karma are the students who get more panels/screentime and appear in promotional materials much more often than their classmates -- the three are occasionally accompanied by Sugino and Okuda. However, Nagisa and especially Kayano don't stand out that much when someone else gets the focus, and Karma disappears from time to time. The author gives every student ADayInTheLimelight, but at least one of the three will appear in a prominent way.
** Both, Karasuma and Irina, become this in the middle of the God of Death arc.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Anyone who isn't Korosensei is off-limits to them, and they don't seem to mind.
* TookALevelInBadass: As a result of the assassination training they have to undergo, ''all'' the students have taken ''some'' levels in badass. And they won't stop.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: They are tasked with the mission to kill their own teacher and instead of displaying fear or hesitance, they show a great enthusiasm in planning how to kill him. Even more disturbing in that even after they've bonded with said teacher and developed affection for him, it didn't slow them down a bit. Granted, the fact that their target is not human may be a factor in this behavior, but still, as Karasuma had said, this is not normal:
-->''"A group of junior high students are joyfully discussing an assassination. If you look at it normally, this is the pinnacle of madness."''
* UnconventionalLearningExperience: Invoked by Koro-sensei. His wish is for the assassination to give the students an opportunity to apply their knowledge, so they study things they otherwise wouldn't and learn the material better.

!!Koro-sensei
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/878e1d628d31340dc86098daec705023.jpg
%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunFukuyama (Japanese), Creator/SonnyStrait (English)

->''"Let's have an assassination that will make people smile and puff out their chests with pride. Each and every one of you can do that. You are talented assassins with hidden strength. That is advice from your sensei, as a target."''

The homeroom teacher for class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and the main {{antihero}} of Assassination Classroom. He is responsible for carving out a large chunk of the moon to make it a permanent crescent moon, and plans to destroy the earth after teaching class 3-E for a year.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Koro-sensei:

* AffablyEvil: For a man (for a given value of "man") who wants to destroy the world, Koro-sensei doesn't act like it.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: In chapter 95, [[spoiler:he slaps the entire class after the students injured an old man when they were running and jumping from roof to roof. Karasuma does not report his action and pretends that nothing happened]].
* {{Badass}}: Pretty much the most badass character in the series.
** BadassTeacher: An extremely competent and overprotective teacher, who uses his inhuman abilities to teach and protect them. As noted under BerserkButton, trying to harm his students is an unwise move.
** SubmissiveBadass: Played for laughs. One of his weaknesses is that he is subservient to his superiors, and whenever Karasuma orders him to go away, he meekly and mopingly obeys.
* BashBrothers: Together with Karasuma-sensei in the tag game.
--> "The strongest creature and the strongest human. [[ItMakesSenseInContext They're coming to attack us to give us more homework]]!!"
* BerserkButton: Try and harm his students at your own risk.
* BigEater: combined with SweetTooth. Or anything junk-foody.
* BigGood[=/=]BigBad: Is the former to the students of Class 3-E. To everyone else (including the students), he's the latter.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Yes. Well, ish. He's born on Earth, he just doesn't look like it. From his [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-changing face]] to his [[SwissArmyAppendage multi-purpose tentacles]], with more quirks being revealed over time.
* BlitheSpirit: For a creature who intends to destroy the world, Koro-sensei is an expert in making people change their ways for the better. Karma, Irina and "Red Eye" are all examples of this charisma and wisdom Koro-sensei possesses, along with his interactions with all of Class-E.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Moon-killing, manga-drawing, supersonic, perverted, but really good teacher, anybody?
* TheChessmaster: He's an extremely skilled strategist. For example, the tag game ''Robbers and Cops'' which he plays together with the class and Karasuma-sensei. He and Karasuma-sensei are the cops and have to tag the class within an hour, but Koro-sensei has the given handicap to be in "jail" until the last minute. The students underestimate Karasuma-sensei's extreme skills, and they realize that Koro-sensei's handicap is even his advantage, since nobody can tag out the "arrested" students as long he's in the "jail". Except that Koro-sensei is someone very easily to trick.
** Except, even then things are still going according to his plan as he's providing helpful advice to the students on how to better evade Karasuma when they get out, which implies that he might have been falling for their tricks intentionally in order to give them more opportunities to gain experience and put his advice into action.
* ChivalrousPervert: He doesn't hide the fact that he loves women with big boobs, but he also defends Irina from a group of perverts who were harassing her and is an all around good person--aside from that destroying the world issue.
* ClarkKenting: When he wants to go out in public, he sticks a fake nose on his face and puts on a wig. Amazingly, it works.
* ColorCodedEmotions: Physically so. Since Koro-sensei is almost always smiling, his emotions are read by his face's coloration and color pattern.
** Yellow[=/=]Green: Normal
** Yellow with blushing cheeks: Very happy (Usually, but not always, due to breasts)
** Green and yellow stripes: Mocking contempt
** Dark purple with X shape: Wrong answer face
** Orange with circle shape: Correct answer face (Two circles for perfect scores)
** Light blue: Sadness
** Dark blue: Shock[=/=]fear
** Red-orange: Angry
** Pitch black: Extremely angry
** Pink: Drowsy/relaxed
** White: Poker face[=/=]bewildered
* CombatTentacles: Comes with being octopoidally-shaped.
* CrazyPrepared: Dear Lord, but is he? The [[{{Doorstopper}} guidebooks]] he produces are just one (big) example.
* DefaceOfTheMoon: Blew most of it up prior to the story's beginning.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: He isn't allowed to injure any of the students or staff, according to the agreement he made to be allowed to teach class 3-E. Never mind the human students, even [[spoiler: Itona]] wouldn't stand a chance against him if he were willing and able to retaliate.
* EldritchAbomination: Averted. Even though Koro-sensei looks like a freaky alien octopus, he states that he was born and raised on earth. As what, human, animal, vegetable, or mineral, is anyone's guess.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Koro-sensei is not pleased when one of his students' collaborative attempt at killing him almost injures one of their own.
* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: When people try to kill Koro-sensei he's usually doing other things, such as meticulously trimming his attackers' eyebrows or giving a fighter jet a polish in mid-air
** SelfDuplication: He can move so fast he can make selectively tangible afterimages. Chapter 12 shows him making one for every student in the class to personally focus on their weak subjects. He even leaves one outside to rest from all that work.
* ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: Subverted. When he bothers to say anything at all, he only tells the basics, and often leaves out key details, like the fact that his mucus protects him from his weakness to water.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Aside from his habit of flying around the world to eat any food he wants, he has been seen eating pens, knives, sodium hydroxide, aqua regia, plastic explosives...
* FlashStep: Koro-Sensei has a top speed of Mach 20. During one assassination attempt, he easily dodged the attacker while meticulously trimming his attacker's eyebrows. When attacked by state of the art fighter jets, he gave them a mid-air waxing. When attacked by knife armed students, he disarmed all of them, then replaced the knives with tulips without their noticing.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Debatable, but the first chapter makes it clear that his current appearance is not his true form. Surprisingly, sans tentacles, his shadowy true form seems human-like.
* FriendlyEnemy: To his students and his co-workers.
* GadgeteerGenius: Has extensive skill and knowledge with machines and electronics. He was able to [[spoiler: majorly upgrade Ritsu's capabilities for a relatively cheap sum of money]] and also built a custom motorcycle with a frame made of wood.
* GameFace: Pitch Black: Extreme Anger.
* GeniusBruiser: Impossible to defeat in single combat, and teaches every single subject at once without being challenged in any way,
* GoneHorriblyWrong: A super-powerful artificial creature, created to be the world's savior, now on course to destroy it in less than a year.
* GuileHero: For all his power, he almost always solves problems with trickery rather than brute force alone, often to the effect of bettering his opponents.
* HealingFactor: Koro-Sensei, amongst other abilities, has the power of regeneration. Even if he gets hit with the Applied Phlebotinum weapons, unless his body is almost completely destroyed, he'll recover in seconds.
* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: Though he may guide and coordinate them, he lets his students handle problems on their own whenever they're capable of it, which they usually are.
* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: Every few chapters Koro-sensei is given a character introduction that includes one of these comparing to his ability to travel at mach 20. Some are fairly sensible ([[LudicrousPrecision 651.241]] times Usain Bolt's 100 meter dash speed) while others are ridiculous (133,333.33 times faster than the speed of falling sakura petals).
* IllKillYou: Koro-sensei threatens to kill the families of Class-E if any of them endanger one another during an assassination attempt, and to kill the entire class if they don't pass a test with flying colors. The latter turned out to be a bluff, and probably the former too.
* InformedAttribute: He is an evil monster who intends to destroy the world, and only hasn't done so yet because it would be boring... Or so the narrative tells us. He actually acts in a way that has been compared to Buddha on this site, helping everyone around him improve themselves. The dissonance is so extreme it's hard to imagine that it's not {{Foreshadowing}} some kind of reveal.
* {{Irony}}: He is frequently described and compared with an octopus, but [[spoiler:he cannot swim]].
* {{Invisibility}}: A rarely used ability, and his clothes and anything he's carrying will still be visible. It's not explained exactly what he's doing, but it seems that he just makes himself transparent.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Koro-sensei transformed several times after drinking hazardous chemicals.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Koro-sensei, who will destroy the world, but also ensure that his students get good grades and become successful.
** Though, the jerk part is doubtful since he never really acts as a jerk.
* [[KaleidoscopeEyes Kaleidoscope Face]]: See ColorCodedEmotions above.
* KiAttack: Shown in chapter 84. [[spoiler:What's interesting is that ''he initially didn't know he could do that''; he learned it during the Island arc]].
* KryptoniteFactor: A rubbery material that is not described beyond being "special" and able to disrupt his cells on contact. It can be fashioned into knives, BB pellets, or clothes, and is apparently available in abundance.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He casually blows or slices off his own tentacles, sometimes several at once. Supposedly this causes emotional disturbance that slows him down for a while afterwards, but that's still way less of a response than such injuries warrant. Of course, he can regrow his tentacles after a few seconds.
* TheMatchmaker: A chapter has Koro-sensei pairing up the students into boy/girl pairs of his choosing to explore a cave in a poor attempt to cause some romantic tension between them. He even refers to the scheme as ''Couple Setup.'' Somewhat subverted in that he doesn't actually want them to get together as much as he wants juicy romantic gossip that he could poke fun at them for and write a novel about later.
* MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: Due to a [[NoNameGiven lack of a name]] at the beginning of the series, Kayano came up with Koro-sensei as a pun with the Japanese words "korosenai" and "sensei" ("unkillable teacher").
* MundaneUtility: This is practically the entire basis for his character. Koro-sensei boasts an enormous number of abilities and he uses nearly every single one of them to be a better teacher. Being able to fly at Mach 20; use your speed to visit different countries during lunch breaks in order to sample local cuisine. Able to create dozens of visual clones through sheer speed; use them to divide your attention to give every single student simultaneous one-on-one instruction. Able to regenerate from even severe injuries in a matter of seconds; use the ability to remove limbs to motivate your students to perform better on the next test...
* MysteriousPast: Why did he choose to become teacher of Class-E? Who is the woman to whom he made that promise? Where did he come from? What is he? These are just the first questions that come to mind.
** When the Chairman takes the time to see him personally, he drops a HUGE hint: [[spoiler:he says that Koro-sensei was created to save the world, but wound up becoming its greatest threat.]]
** Karasuma makes mention of another one: at one point in the past, Koro-sensei only had two legs and two arms. This was not the case in the flashback with the woman he made his promise to. In short, Koro-sensei might have once been Human.
** On the other hand the students conclude that both Koro-sensei and Itona are artificial beings, with Itona being made after Koro-sensei.
* NighInvulnerability: Is able to withstand fire from multiple high-caliber machine guns at once. Apparently, the only things that can seriously harm him are the special anti-sensei material, [[spoiler:and other beings similar to him, like Itona]].
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: This seems to a part of being a PsychologistTeacher.
* TheNoseKnows: He has an incredible smell sense.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Averted, though it involves sudden acceleration rather than deceleration. Koro-sensei cannot accelerate as quickly as he normally would if he has to catch or carry a normal human being because their bodies couldn't handle the physical stress.
* OmnicidalManiac: He plans to blow up the Earth, along with everyone living on it.
* OneHeadTaller: He is much taller than regular humans.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Losing limbs may affect his speed, but having [[spoiler:two gaping holes shot through his head seems to have no effect on his ability to think at all.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When this goofy, fun-loving character becomes angry and breaks out his GameFace, prepare for this lighthearted manga to turn very serious, very quickly. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Koro-sensei after his first [[spoiler: battle with Itona]]: He turns embarrassed after one of his rare bursts of anger, lamenting that it ruins his reputation as a gag character.
* ThePromise: Koro-sensei is teaching the students in his class as a promise he made to someone. As he once put it, teaching all of his students seriously is much more important to him than the end of the world.
* PsychologistTeacher
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Koro-sensei doesn't seem like this at first, but is soon revealed to be one.
* ShipperOnDeck: He, and the rest of Class 3-E, are this for Karasuma/Irina.
* SignatureLaugh: Nurufufufu.
* SlasherSmile: His GameFace color: [[http://l.mfcdn.net/store/manga/10718/01-001.0/compressed/m039.jpg Pitch Black]].
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:His ultimate defense form makes him completely invulnerable.]] Subverted though, [[spoiler:since he is also immobile in this form for 24 hours, and he is afraid that somebody could send him with a rocket into outer space (though, he admits that would be unrealistic, since sending him to the space would be too long)]]. This gives his enemies the opportunity to kill him with a plan, and he can't do nothing to avoid it.
* SuperSpeed: Koro-sensei, as previously mentioned, can move at Mach 20. He eats shaved ice he personally gathers from the North Pole. He eats Chinese food on his lunch break... in China.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In chapter 43.
-->'''Koro-sensei:''' "...I mean, I just don't really feel like [[spoiler:swimming]]. And it's not like [[spoiler:my tentacles get all bloated underwater and I can't move]] or anything."
* SweetTooth: Mentioned above.
* TerribleArtist: One of his minor weaknesses, he can only do simple art. And he still challenges Sugaya, the best artist in class, to making henna tattoos.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: [[spoiler:It hasn't happened yet, but in Chapter 32 there's a panel that implies this will happen to Koro-sensei when he is killed.]]
* VillainProtagonist: He destroyed the moon and plans to destroy the Earth in a year. Until then, he's going to fulfill a promise to be a teacher. If he's going to be a teacher, he is going to do it perfectly. As such, based on what we know, the only reason people targeting him can be considered bad guys is because they don't always care about not putting class 3E in danger.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Weak to water. Specifically, his body is sponge-like. Even a day with high humidity causes him to swell up comically. If he actually found himself immersed in water it would certainly get much worse and slow him down significantly. The mucus his skin releases can protect him from it, [[spoiler: but it can be depleted]].
** Also, the Anti-Koro Sensei weapons are basically his Kryptonite, which is notable as it's completely harmless to normal humans.

An agent sent from Japan's Ministry of Defense to supervise Koro-sensei. In Kunugigaoka Junior High School, he was admitted as an assistant teacher for Phys. Ed. in class 3-E.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Karasuma:

* TheAce: Incredibly skilled in variety of fields...though that amounts to nothing when you take into account that he's against a super-sonic, unkillable octopus. This is exemplified in chapter 106.
* AmazonChaser: His ideal 'type' are women with muscular bodies that are perfectly suited for battle. Though it's suspect if he realized they were asking about his ideal ''romantic'' type. Either way, it sucks for Bitch-sensei.
* BadassNormal: He's in an entirely different league from any other human character so far.
** BadassInANiceSuit: It's practically a trademark.
** BadassTeacher: One of the reasons why he's respected by his students. He's very protective of the Class-E students, and will not stand for anyone physically hurting them.
* BashBrothers: Together with Koro-sensei in the tag game.
--> "The strongest creature and the strongest human. [[ItMakesSenseInContext They're coming to attack us to give us more homework]]!!"
* BloodKnight: Whenever he spars with his students, and even more during the freerunning cops and robbers game, he really enjoys himself. He also can't help himself when going up against the God of Death in chapter 106.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: In chapter 106 he stops an iron beam and grabs a crossbow bolt '''with one hand each.'''
* GroinAttack: He finds an opening for a second and punches [[spoiler:the God of Death]] in the groin.
* HiddenDepths: The most serious and straight-laced character in the series. And yet Korosensei reveals that the main source of his inhuman strength is [[spoiler: "the deep rage hidden in his heart"]].
* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Decides that the lives of the students are worth more than a chance to kill Koro-sensei and proceeds to ''challenge the [[TheDreaded God of Death]]'']].
* HotTeacher: Oh, boy. Just ask the female fanbase.
* IgnoreTheFanservice: Poor Bitch-sensei. And sometimes, he even scolds her for being too hot.
* IndirectKiss: Bitch-sensei does this with his napkin. [[ObliviousToLove Which he mistakes for a being new assassination technique.]]
* KnifeNut: Although not restricted to knives (or nuttiness), he's good with them and training others to use them.
* NiceGuy: Comes across as this. However sternly and stoically he acts, he does ultimately care a lot for others and will go all out for them...and it's very obvious to all concerned.
* NotSoStoic: He tries so hard to maintain a professional demeanor, but considering the insanity of the situation he finds himself in, he can hardly go five minutes without getting visibly angry.
* ObliviousToLove: Poor Bitch-sensei. His first weakness is being "super dense". [[spoiler:Subverted when its revealed he knew all along, but just doesn't return her feelings.]]
* OnlySaneMan: In comparison to other teachers and his own (shady) bosses? Oh, yes.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Karasuma cares just as much for making sure the Class-E students can overcome the chairman's system as he does keeping them healthy and safe while making sure they can stop Koro-sensei from destroying the world.
* ShounenHair: It actually makes him looking badass at first sight.
* SlasherSmile: Does this a couple of times in battles.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (Japanese), Martha Harms (English)

An assassin who was sent to class 3-E to kill Koro-sensei. She teaches English and infiltration assassination.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Irina:

* ActionFashionista: Very fashion-conscious, teaches English with ''SexAndTheCity'' and takes every opportunity to dress-up she can...but is also a scarily efficient assassin. That's most of the boxes ticked, then.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Her short-tempered ComicRelief nature can make you forget she's a proficient killer. [[spoiler:She actually employs this in chapter 104 against Team B.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Fashion-obsessed apparent airhead. Who can teach multiple languages and interpersonal interaction surprisingly well as a ''result'' of her training as an ''assassin''.
* ButtMonkey: Part of her comedy value. She's quickly learned there are a select few people her usually reliable skills aren't that useful against. Doesn't stop her trying (and failing), though. [[spoiler: Henna tattoos of total embarrassment may be involved on occasion...]]
* ChildSoldiers: Made her first kill when she was 12, which is even younger than her current students are.
* CripplingOverspecialization: An infiltration assassin like is at a major disadvantage when she's found out.
** WoundedGazelleGambit: That said, when [[spoiler: she betrays Class E to the God of Death]], she proves that familiarity with her can be just as dangerous.
* CulturedBadass: Her language and communication skills, as well as being able to play piano beautifully, makes her this.
* CunningLinguist: As a globally-active infiltration assassin, she speaks many languages, and is able to get close to almost anyone through her wits and charm. During the hotel arc, she easily distracts an entire room full of guards to allow the students to proceed.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied as she told her students that they were lucky to be born in a peaceful country.
** It's later revealed that her country had an ethnic war and her parents were killed by a soldier when she was 12. She killed the soldier with her father's gun to save herself, then hid the corpse with her in the cellar to wait for the enemy to leave, all while feeling the body going lukewarm next to her. Considering her age and heritage, it should be pretty obvious exactly [[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars what conflict]] is being referenced here.
* DistractedByTheSexy: One of her specialties.
* TheDitz: If she wasn't an assassin, you'd wonder about her ability to survive.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Turns on the students, beats them, captures them and briefly joins the God of Death. She's forgiven within two chapters.]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: Bitch-neesan, and later Bitch-sensei. Even the polite students use it freely.
** In the official English, subtitles use "Professor Bitch" while the manga avoids the swear word but preserves the pun by calling her Ms. Vitch.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The other students' treatment of Class E at the assembly appalls even Bitch-sensei.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The whole class knows that she is in love with [[spoiler: Karasuma-sensei]]. She doesn't deny it.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Becomes a minion for The God of Death in chapter 103.]]
* FemmeFatale: She's done her utmost to cultivate this... and, is ''more'' than willing to pass the techniques along.
* ForcefulKiss: Plants a a 30-hit combo to Nagisa in order to get him to share Koro-sensei's weaknesses. She also does this to her other students, either as punishments or as rewards.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her introduction for one. What Koro-sensei does to her is another.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: After [[spoiler:being stunned by the classes forgiveness for her brief FaceHeelTurn]], she starts dressing much more conservatively.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She smokes during the first few chapters she appears in, but stop completely after her HeelFaceTurn.
* HairTriggerTemper: When she's frustrated, you know: she doesn't exactly hide it (unless from an actual target: then she does bottle it). Added to a set of [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] of questioning either her sex-appeal, her competence or her dedication to killing a certain octopus...and, of course, calling her ''Bitch-sensei''.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Karasuma showed her how hard Koro-sensei works for his students, she decides to take her job as a teacher seriously.
* HiddenDepths: She’s well aware that a woman's beauty will not last for long and one should do everything she can to make herself shine as a woman.
* HoneyPot: What she did before coming to this school.
* HotTeacher: Duh!
* IndirectKiss: [[spoiler:To Karasuma-sensei with his napkin. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the reason behind it.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She initially doesn't care about or believe in the students, but as time passes she grows found of them and increasingly become disgusted by the school's system of degrading Class-E.
* MarshmallowHell: Irina tries to extract information on Koro-sensei's weaknesses by smothering Nagisa with her breasts. A couple non-Class-E students find themselves incredibly jealous of him.
* MsFanservice: And how. The students discover that she has the ability to make ''anything'' she wears incredibly erotic, even those belonging to conservative students such as Kanzaki.
** She often invokes this tropes, but fails for most of the time.
* {{Omniglot}}: She speaks ten languages from around the world. Her method is to take lovers in each of the countries she visits, and learn from them.
* PluckyComicRelief
* SelfImposedChallenge: She overcomes challenges. Her win against her teacher Lovro (the challenge was an mock assassination on Karasuma) by using a wire trap (which Lorvo had never taught her) while using seduction (which she knew it wouldn't work against Karasuma) as an camouflage.
* {{Sensual Slav|s}}: A Serbian example.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: Initially has this, but she drops it rather quickly when Nagisa informs her about Koro-sensei's heightened sense of smell
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The English manga spells her name "Jelavitch" to make clear the pronunciation and the vitch/bitch pun.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Flashes just a ''bit'' too much flesh than she really should as a teacher, whenever possible. It bites back, as [[spoiler:Karasuma-sensei being a conservative Japanese man is not attracted by her style]].
** [[http://www.mangareader.net/assassination-classroom/58/10 Look at this swimsuit!]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A toward Karasuma.
* VillainBall: Though her initial plan to kill Koro-sensei was well thought out and executed, Irina ignored the critical detail of Koro-sensei [[AbnormalAmmo being hurt only by a specific kind of material]], [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat instead choosing to use live ammunition under the assumption no living creature could survive a barrage of lead]]. Suffice to say, the attempt fails, ''badly''.
* WeakButSkilled: She is more skilled in wits and trickery than in straight up combat.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Chapter 19 reveals that she's only 20 years old.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaiFuchigami (Japanese), Creator/LindsaySeidel (English)

->''"I bet I could kill him. I mean, this teacher doesn't even see me as a hitman."''

The most often seen student, and the main perspective character. Fell into Class 3-E at the end of the previous year due to poor grades. Mild-mannered, cautious and relatively weak, he prefers to observe and collect data on Koro-sensei's weaknesses rather than participate in assassination attempts. [[spoiler:Despite that, or perhaps because of it, he is considered to be one of the best assassins-in-training in the class.]]

5th best marksmanship, boys' side. [[spoiler:Ranked 6th in the school for English.]]
----
!!!Tropes associated with Nagisa:

* TheAce: Even before he [[spoiler:trounced Takaoka]] he was the only normal human to threaten Koro-sensei to the point where he had to use his molting ability. He is also readily acknowledged as being the go-to guy for information and analysis. Most of the embarrassing information shown in the assassination video for Korosensei was his contribution.
* AintTooProudToBeg: When [[spoiler: Takaoka]] forces him to ask for forgiveness [[PoseOfSupplication on his knees]] to get the antidote for his friends he inmediately complies.
* AmbiguousDisorder: There is ''something'' off about him.
** He isn't intimidated by having to wield a potentially deadly weapon or having to threaten someone's life, even though it's specifically pointed out that he should be. Yet he isn't generally callous or manipulative in the way a sociopath would be. He just has no compunction against killing for some reason, like you'd expect of a veteran hitman. Except he isn't one, yet.
*** He is supposed to be intimidated by the thought of using a real knife, but not only does he show no hesitation, he is clear-minded enough to attack using the dull side of the blade.
** His interactions with Karma in the early chapters are also not quite ordinary. Most people would be rather disturbed by Karma's AxCrazy passion of killing his teacher, but Nagisa remained calm the whole time, he didn't comment on Karma's ideas and he didn't show any reaction to Karma's crazy attitude. Nagisa's facial expression was telling like neutral wondering whether Karma would succeed or not. In short, Nagisa just acted like a neutral observer.
* AnimalMotifs: [[spoiler:An enormous snake. Symbolizes his viciousness and his ability to hide in plain sight, like a snake in the grass.]]
* AnimeHair: He seems to have odd pigtails in the back of his head, but since he was never seen with his hair down--even when he's swimming--for a long time it was believed that that was its natural shape. [[spoiler:Chapter 112 reveals that they actually are pigtails.]]
* AttractiveBentGender: He only needs to put on a skirt and some HairDecs to pass off as a really convincing girl, and even catches a guy's attention like this. According to Hayami, he looks so feminine, it's unnatural. Justified since his mother, who wanted a daughter, makes him look like a girl.
* AudienceSurrogate: For younger audiences in Japan, a character who struggles in school and suffers from lack of confidence would be extremely familiar to a lot of people. By this interpretation, that would make his ability to summon up will when needed and his various talents WishFulfillment.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Downplayed. His abilities are hardly superhuman, but he still possesses the best sensibility and instinct in the class when it comes to planning an assassination.
* BadassAdorable: The shortest and most androgynous of the male students. He cemented his status as one of Class 3-E's biggest badasses when he [[spoiler:destroyed Takaoka in a knife duel--with a ''real'' knife]].
* BareYourMidriff: The outfit he wore while [[ItMakesSenseInContext pretending to be a fish]].
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with his friends. Specifically, don't [[spoiler:deliberately push this button by rubbing in the fact that you're trying to brutally kill off all of his friends]]. The one {{Troll}} who managed to successfully piss Nagisa off ended up regretting it for the rest of his life.
** While first shocked when [[spoiler:the God of Death knocked out Yoshida, Muramatsu and Kimura, Nagisa enters into his "assassin mode", when the said God of Death breaks Kayano some ribs]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sure, he's a nice guy who gets along with everyone in the RagtagBunchOfMisfits that is class 3-E, and is even a vegetarian to boot. But on the other hand [[spoiler:his stealth and sheer bloodlust make elite veteran soldiers shit bricks]].
** You know that propensity to note down people's weaknesses? Well, seems he [[spoiler:isn't above using what he learns to character assassinate you for a just cause (or just a distraction), either]]. Psychological warfare when needed? Check.
* BigBrotherMentor: To little Sakura.
* {{Bishounen}}: He looks good enough to be a girl, and when dresses as a girl, the boy named Yuuji prefers ''him'' over the real girls.
* BookDumb: Relatively speaking. He did fall into class E due to poor grades, after all. But when it comes to ''applying'' the knowledge he has, he's more like a TeenGenius.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The three things he wants most are to get to know everyone in his class, to live without leaving things unfinished, and to kill his teacher.
** That's not the only time Nagisa's train of thought blithely dips into surreal and slightly disturbing territory. Read the journal entry Korosensei grades in Chapter 2. It looks like a normal journal entry, discussing Nagisa's favorite food and where his family went for dinner the night before (a sushi restaurant). He notes that his favorite food is ''takosushi'', and that Korosensei looks like an octopus (Korosensei agrees). Nagisa's journal entry abruptly ends with him wondering what Korosensei tastes like.
* ChekhovsGun: Those hairbands Nagisa always wears around his wrists. He's almost never seen without them, and when he isn't it's usually a drawing error. [[spoiler:He has them just in case something happens to the ones he wears in his hair, because he's embarrassed by how long it is, but his mother isn't allowed to cut it.]]
* Main/ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler: The "sure kill technique" he learned from Lovro]] is left unmentioned and unexplained for several chapters until he uses it on [[spoiler: Takaoka in their second duel]].
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:In assassination]].
* ClassicalAntiHero: Though he's more than willing to assassinate Koro-sensei, Nagisa is the shortest guy in the class, physically weak compared to the rest of the students, and has a few confidence issues thanks to being dropped into Class 3-E (as well as some vaguely hinted-at parental issues at home). Didn't stop him from standing out as one of the class' best assassins.
* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Nagisa holds a combat knife with his mouth so he can limber up before he fights [[spoiler:Takaoka]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and eyes.
* DeathGlare: Nagisa sends one to [[spoiler:Takaoka]] when the conditions for his assassination method are finally met. He is smiling, but that only makes it even ''more'' chilling.
* DissonantSerenity: Walking up to Koro-sensei with a grenade around his neck and knowing full well he could get seriously injured or even die with nary a change in his usual expression? Check. Taking down [[spoiler:an elite veteran soldier by casually walking up to him in a way he himself describes as ''as if I were walking to school'' and slashing at his neck?]] Check.
** This is considered to be his greatest talent: the ability to completely hide his (considerable) killing intent, making him the most assassin-like of all the students.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He has GirlishPigtails and feminine-looking body (except he hasn't boobs). There are fans convinced he's still a woman posing as a man. Lampshaded in chapter 43, which also definitively confirms his gender--he wears a male swim suit, and several female students note how up until that point it had been hard to tell. To the point of only needing to wear girl's clothes and a bit of hair accessory to pass of as girl in chapter 66, [[AttractiveBentGender and to charm another boy accidentally.]] It's later revealed this is his mother's fault, since she never wanted a son and forces Nagisa to look like a girl.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: When a disguise makes them think he's a girl, that is. And possibly even when they know he's not.
* ExpressiveHair: Subtly. His pigtails droop when he's feeling particularly down. They lift up and become wing-like when [[spoiler:his killing intent is switched on.]]
* FirstNameBasis: Everyone calls him by his given name. Really everyone. This is a bit odd in a LastNameBasis.
* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: While Koro-sensei is the central character, Nagisa provides most of the narration, usually in the form of explaining the thoughts of the whole class.
* GenderBlenderName: Nagisa is a name which is often given to girls, but boys have this name, too. Makes sense since his mother wanted a daughter.
* GirlishPigtails: Seriously, look at his hair. You can't deny that those are pigtails, and he looks very girly with them. The reason he wears his hair in pigtails is because his mother won't allow him to get it cut, so it has grown to shoulder length. Presumably, the school has a rule about hair length for males, but he's also very embarrassed by how it looks when let down. It's later revealed he used to have a ponytail, but Kayano suggested him to wear his hair in pigtails instead [[spoiler:because she wanted him to stand out enough so she could blend in with the "background characters"]].
* GroinAttack: He gets a verbal one. After he changes back from the girl outfit to his normal clothes, Karma suggests he should get rid of "it". Needless to say, Nagisa is not amused and wants to keep "it".
* HiddenDepths: Nagisa is heavily implied to be more than just the main perspective character, as evidenced by his training with Karasuma in chapter 38. Karasuma has the kids attempt to attack him with their Anti-Sensei knives, which are harmless to humans. Suddenly, a monstrous snake attacks Karasuma. This is later revealed to be some sort of hallucination he had, and it was actually Nagisa. [[spoiler: Later, when Takaoka challenges the class to fight him with ''real knives'' (believing that, like his other recruits, they'll choke because they've never used a real weapon), Karasuma gives the knife to Nagisa.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He's at least competent at everything he does, but you wouldn't think so by how low his opinion of himself is [[spoiler: unless his killing intent is switched on]].
* IllKillYou: Nagisa asserts this to [[spoiler:Takaoka after he destroys the antidote needed to save his classmates]]. His classmates are perfectly willing to believe he'd actually go through with it.
* KillingIntent: He can make middle school bullies and [[spoiler: two of the government's most elite soldiers]] lose their composure and tremble in fear through killing intent alone. Powerful instances of this are symbolized by [[spoiler: a gigantic snake, as Karasuma and Takaoka find out first-hand]]. His ability to freeze people with his killing intent alone has been compared to [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Orochimaru's]], despite the fact that this is not a series about superpowered {{Ninja}}.
** [[spoiler: Although Nagisa is shown to have a bloodthirsty side, it is actually revealed in Chapter 128 that some of his bloodlust is actually Kayano's and that she used him to conceal herself and her bloodlust until the time was right for her to assassinate Koro-sensei]]
* KissOfDistraction: [[spoiler:Did this to Kayano in Chapter 132.]]
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: InUniverse example. The official guidebook shows what pairings the class play ShipperOnDeck to. At least 75% have him in it.
* LetsGetDangerous: He's known to everyone as a kind, meek student without any noteworthy physical abilities, though a few characters catch glimpses of his potential as an assassin. When Karasuma chooses him to [[spoiler: fight Takaoka in a duel, most characters couldn't comprehend why...until Nagisa flawlessly takes Takaoka down using his wits and killing intent, even though the match was rigged against him]].
** When he's normal, he's so normal that Karma thought he was so un-scary that it was scary, because Karma had just seen how dangerous he could be but couldn't detect anything about him that gave that away. And when he's not normal, even when facing a vastly stronger opponent his classmates seem to be more afraid ''of'' him than ''for'' him.
* TheLoad: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by himself, as he points out that accompanying his female classmates while being dressed up as a girl was completely pointless in the end. Though, Karma thinks [[RuleOfFunny it would be obviously funny]].
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long hair, which only contributes to his girly looks. Turns out his mother doesn't allow him to cut his hair because she wants him to look like a girl.
* MarshmallowHell: Irina tries to extract information on Koro-sensei's weaknesses by smothering him with her breasts. A couple non-Class-E students find themselves incredibly jealous of him.
* NiceGuy: Definitely one of the nicest students in the class. He has a friendly demeanor, is very considerate towards his classmates, and won't easily let his emotions get the best of him. Even after [[spoiler: showing off some terrifying displays of bloodlust]], his classmates still treat him like the meek, amicable guy that he is.
* NightmareFace: An unusual example, but his innocent smiling faces have given [[spoiler:Takaoka]] some serious nightmares.
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: It has been remarked that he is the only person who doesn't realize just how insanely powerful his killing intent is.
* OddFriendship: With Karma. Despite being close and long-time friends who are often seen together, they're quite different. Karma is extroverted, aggressive and crass. He takes his time, enjoys taunting his opponents and attacks them recklessly and brutally. Nagisa is calm and polite. As an assassin, he's far more professional than Karma, hiding his intentions and going straight for precision kills before the target even expects anything.
* [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary Middle School Student]]: Thoroughly normal, though in keeping with this trope there are a couple hidden special things about him. (See ChildProdigy, DissonantSerenity)
* PintSizedPowerhouse: The shortest male in the classroom and he can take down [[spoiler:Takaoka]] with ease.
* PostKissCatatonia: He passes out after receiving a 30-hit kiss from Bitch-sensei.
* PsychoticSmirk: Has an utterly chilling one when he gets serious. See DissonantSerenity.
* RageBreakingPoint: After keeping his composure together while trying to [[spoiler: appease Takaoka in order to obtain the antidote to the lethal virus afflicting his classmates]], he finally loses it when [[spoiler: Takaoka destroys the antidote anyways]].
* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: The reason for his feminine tendencies. His mother is a psychotic ControlFreak who forces him to act and dress like a girl, because she never wanted a male child.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Karma's Red Oni.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Karma's Manly Man.
* ShrinkingViolet: He's very shy, quiet, and withdrawn, only speaking when he feels he has something to contribute. This greatly assists his assassin skills, because no one can see him coming. He probably developed these tendencies so he wouldn't provoke his mother's violent temper.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: A male example. He is a reserved, polite, and quiet boy, in stark contrast to FieryRedhead Karma.
* SilkHidingSteel: Male version. He is certainly not your traditional badass, but he can make himself appear so innocent that a man intent on beating him into submission was stunned into inaction long enough for him to get in position for what could easily have been a killing blow. [[spoiler:Even in their rematch, when his opponent was expecting it.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Although he probably has his dad's hair and eyes, everything else on his face makes him resemble his mother.
* SupportingProtagonist: From chapter 1 onward, he's been making note of every weakness his sensei has, from the weak, like Sensei's preference for large breasts, to the strong, like [[spoiler:his reduced stamina after regenerating a wound, and his inability to swim]].
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: We get to see one of Nagisa's graded English assignments in chapter 2. It's not perfect, but it's easily understandable. For added attention to detail, there are even a couple of spelling errors that are pointed out.
-->'''Note:''' "There aren't many grammatical errors and it wraps up nicely. What an excellent journal entry!!"
* TranquilFury: When [[spoiler:Takaoka blows up the antidote needed to save his friends]], he develops DullEyesOfUnhappiness and not-so-calmly announces [[spoiler:his intention to kill him]]. After Koro-sensei and Terasaka talk him out of diving into a full blown UnstoppableRage, his anger cools into a peaceful, terrifying smile as he prepares to [[spoiler: use the "secret killing technique" on Takaoka]].
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: It's present for the entire class, but he's a very notable case. He's just too much of a natural at assassinations, which becomes even more troubling when juxtaposed with his usual behavior.
* UncannyValleyGirl: RareMaleExample. Well, he looks girly enough to be an UncannyValleyGirl. Nevertheless, beware if he smiles gently at you.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: He's the only one student who wears the waistcoat without the blazer over it.
* WeakButSkilled: Takaoka notes that Nagisa is amongst the weakest of the boys, with physical stats closer to that of a girl's. A few pages later, Karasuma is staring at Nagisa in awe as [[spoiler:he managed to take down Takaoka in a matter of seconds]] and noting that Nagisa's talent never would have been discovered in the course of a normal school life.
* WellDoneSonGuy: It's not brought up often, but his parents don't look him in the eye ever since he landed in class E, and he would very much like to make, if not them, at least ''someone'' proud of him. And he's literally willing to kill to reach that goal.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Because of his father's work, they don't get to see each other often, which is unfortunate because theirs seems to be one of the very few positive parent-child relationships in the series. Nagisa seems to like him much more than his mother, who he lives with. This turns out to be true as in chapter 113 his mother is quite abusive [[spoiler:and the next day after she leaves the school, she ties him up and reveals she plans to burn down the school he's studying. Had an assassin who wants to kill Koro-sensei didn't appear, it may or may not work.]] Nagisa outright says that his father left home because he didn't want to deal with his mother's psychosis.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is light blue.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaSuzaki (Japanese), Creator/MonicaRial (English)

->''"A true blade is one you don't even show to your close friends."''

She's one of Nagisa's closest friends, and like him, she usually stands in the background and supports the others. She is the student who came up with Koro-sensei's name. [[spoiler:She is actually Akari Yukimura, the younger sister of the dead Aguri Yukimura, who was Class E's previous teacher and Koro-sensei's supposed lover. She also used to be a child actress who went by the stage name of Haruna Mase. She also has tentacles like Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kayano:

* ACupAngst: She's really self-conscious about it, and claims to have B-cups whenever asked. A RunningGag is her bringing it up regardless of how relevant it is to the current situation.
* AffectionateNickname: She is called "Kayanocchi" by Okano.
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:In chapters 128-132.]]
* BareYourMidriff: The outfit she wore while [[ItMakesSenseInContext pretending to be a fish]].
* BerserkButton:
** She hates big boobs. Though there are certain [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/ansatsu_kyoushitsu/c066/13.html exceptions]]. [[spoiler: Her anger or rather "fixation" towards big boobs mirrors Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
** Actually, [[spoiler:everything about Koro-sensei pisses her off since he is the supposed killer of her older sister, as revealed in chapter 129.]]
* BiTheWay: She has obviously an eye on Nagisa, but has swooned over Kataoka and Yada too.
* CombatTentacles: [[spoiler:In Chapter 128, two long tentacles pop out from her nape.]]
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: When the students push to have Irina-sensei kicked out of 3-E, her reason isn't Irina's initially poor teaching and lack of faith in the class, as it was with the other students. It was her boobs.
* DamselInDistress: In the Kyoto arc, and it would have happened again in the Assassination Island arc if the class hadn't decided to forego the hostage trade-off and just infiltrate the Fukuma Palace Hotel.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Despite the fact that she's a major viewpoint student, she usually stands in the background or supports them. She shines in chapter 80 for the first time, with very little foreshadowing (see FreezeFrameBonus below). [[spoiler:Chapter 128 onwards is all about her.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: According to Itona, carrying having tentacles is an agonizing experience for any normal human. Kaede/Akari was able to wear them for a full year without even hinting about how much pain she was in. In chapter 131, he guesses that this was only possible because she never actually ''used'' the tentacles during that year. Once she does, her mind starts eroding fast.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Nagisa. She'd probably like to be something a ''little'' [[ShipTease more intense]], but until he bothers to notice, she'll settle for being the friend he can bounce ideas off of and occasionally makes good points of her own. She provides much of the useful excuse for his FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator status. [[spoiler:The ShipTease she has with Nagisa could all be an act, though.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: In the end of chapter 80, there is a very little minor detail of Kayano's appearance. A minor detail that foreshadows a [[spoiler:big plot twist]]. [[http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xap1/t51.2885-15/e15/10661259_798108633578123_1563893368_n.jpg See here]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Chapters 128 and 129]].
* GenkiGirl: An upbeat character, especially when it comes to pudding and other sweets.
* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler:When she transfered to class 3-E, she picked Nagisa as the "protagonist", so she can hide her bloodlust under his shadow.]]
* HairIntakes: Invoked. She seems to have a cat-ears-looking hairstyle, but it's shown not to be natural.
* HiddenDepths: The best hidden of everyone in class E, beyond even Nagisa. [[spoiler:Chapter 128 changes practically everything we thought we knew about her. She has the strongest will of everyone in class E, able to go to school their and act no different than if it were a normal class, despite the bullying. These depths become all the deeper in chapter 129 when its revealed that she is one of the worlds best actresses and has had the tentacles, which nearly drove Itona insane, for nearly a year yet still showed no outward signs.]]
** [[spoiler:It actually goes further, as she was pretending to be a normal junior high school student exiled to Class E while being an actual assassin (apparently) the whole time. Even Nagisa, unassuming as he may be, was willing to use his killing intent to discourage bullying by other students. Kayano, on the other hand, was able to behave exactly like a "normal" person in her situation would, without giving a hint that she was capable of anything remotely on the level of what she demonstrated in Chapter 128]].
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Unlike the other students, she has a personal reason to kill Koro-sensei. To avenge her dead sister Aguri.]]
* LettingHerHairDown: At the end of the Kyoto arc, after taking a bath.[[spoiler:Does it again after revealing her true self.]]
* MasterActor: [[spoiler:She's actually a professional and prodigal actress, renowned for her skill to play any kind of role flawlessly. Due to this, she was able to fool Class E's students and staff during the school year. All of them believed the fake identity she created.]]
* NiceGirl: She's a fairly nice student when she's not being plagued by her ACupAngst. [[spoiler:It's all an act.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Okano's reaction to Kayano being not disgusted by Yada's big boobs.
** In chapter 80, she appoints herself leader of the "Pudding Killsplosion Plan". The other students [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] that she's always devoted to logistical support.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Her skills lie in logical and logistical support and pudding-making, not combat, so she becomes this when compared to the likes of Nagisa and Karma. [[spoiler:She's actually not what she appears to be. She's far more skillful than Nagisa and Karma but she hid it for she was a prodigal child actress.]]
* {{Pettanko}}: She is frequently mocked for her small bust, to the point where it's documented as "Forever 0". [[BlatantLies She claims to have B-cups.]]
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:She can set her tentacles on fire.]]
* PostKissCatatonia: [[spoiler:In Chapter 132, Nagisa gives her a 15-hit kiss, which knocks her out.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Once she reveals her tentacles and her true identity, her eyes turn red.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:She states she doesn't care what she has to do, who she gets involved or even if she dies, the only thing she wants to do is taking revenge for her sister, who was killed by Koro-sensei.]]
* SeashellBra: A feature of her fish costume.
* ShipTease: She's implied to have feelings for Nagisa. [[spoiler: Which could be just a mask.]]
* SuperDrowningSkills: Girl can't swim worth beans. She had to wear a lifebuoy to keep afloat during a plan that involved pretending to be a fish creature. [[spoiler:Her reason for not being able to swim is revealed in chapter 128 where she seems to be similar to Koro-sensei and Itona who also cannot swim.]]
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: She has golden eyes and it's later revealed she's not as normal as she seems. [[spoiler:She has tentacles like Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
* SweetTooth: Chapter 80 reveals her love for pudding. She gets the opportunity to use pudding for an assassination. [[spoiler: This makes her similar to Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: In the sports festivals, she participates in the net race game and she crawls really fast through the net because she's so [[{{Pettanko}} flat]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to TheReveal in chapter 128, expect to see A LOT of spoiler-tags for Kayano.
* WhamLine:
** [[spoiler:''"I love you Koro-sensei. Now, die."'']]
** [[spoiler:''"I'm the younger sister of Aguri Yukimura. Get it now, murderer?"'']]
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Her hair is green. [[spoiler:Unnaturally green actually, since she dyed it to conceal her real appearance. Her hair is actually black, just like her sister's.]]
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:She wants to kill Koro-sensei because she blames him for the death of her sister.]]

* [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary Middle School Student]]: Except for his talent in baseball, he is pretty normal compared to other boys, and he has the most ordinary character design.

* ShounenHair: To distinguish him from Isogai, Sugino's hair is shorter, a bit spikier and looks more generic.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (Japanese), Creator/AustinTindle (English)

->''"I think not enjoying yourself in a classroom where it's okay to kill is such a waste."''

A student who joined late due to being suspended from school for trashing his teacher's office. He started off holding a major grudge against all teachers, and as such is one of the students most dedicated to the assassination. Koro-sensei helped him get over that particular issue, but he is still a near-sociopath who loves to beat people into unconsciousness who aren't his classmates. He often hangs around with Nagisa.

3rd best marksmanship, boys' side.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Karma:

* AcademicAthlete: One of the best students in studying and sports. The problem: he is a BullyHunter and lazy.
* TheAce: One of the most physically capable students, ranked third in marksmanship, as well as the best in academic performance. He has the second best track record among the normal human students when it comes to threatening Koro-sensei.
* ArcVillain: While not exactly a straight up villan, he was definitive an antagonist to Koro-sensei in chapter 4 to 6.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: In contrast to Kimura, who's embarrassed by his first name of [[spoiler:Justice]], Karma genuinely likes his name, which is a result of his parents loving Indian culture.
* AxCrazy: In the beginning of the series, he has shown a crazy obsession for killing Koro-sensei. It toned down after he learns to respect his teacher.
* BadAss: It was always clear since he was the first student to injure Koro-sensei, but [[spoiler:during the Assassination Island arc, he takes on an adult pro assassin, and it's obvious the whole time that he's got the guy's number, both in hand-to-hand and in guile]].
* {{Bishounen}}
* BitingTheHandkerchief: He isn't crying, and it isn't played for laughs, but biting his [[spoiler: test papers]] is a clear sign of how upset he is by [[spoiler:failing to beat Asano Jr. in the math portion of the first term finals, and on top of that performing worse than in the mid terms when class E had a handicap]].
* BreakoutCharacter: Karma is the most popular student alongside Nagisa and he's one of the most prominent and important students of the series.
* BrilliantButLazy: Aside from assassination attempts, he never seems to put much effort into anything, even training. Not that it affects his performance.
** [[DeconstructedTrope Comes to bite him in the ass]] [[spoiler:during the first term finals where he performs badly enough to go from 4th to 13th place in the school rankings. Certainly, he still did great for someone who didn't study at all, but he ''could have done better'' and all involved knowing this]].
* BloodKnight: He is usually the first one who picks up in a fight.
* BreakTheHaughty: Karma gets a little too proud of his early successes against Koro-sensei. However, all he really managed to do was draw Koro-sensei's full attention to him, and Koro-sensei makes sure that he knows exactly how outmatched he is by dealing with his attempts in the the most offhand and humiliating ways he can, until Karma is [[DrivenToSuicide Driven To]] SuicideAttack. Fortunately for him, Koro-sensei always fixes what he breaks.
** Chapter 54 really puts him in his place.
* BrokenPedestal: A teacher he looked up to protected him from the consequences of his [[BullyHunter Bully Hunting]] because of his good grades...until he targeted the wrong person. The pedestal breaking is (very) graphically depicted by the teacher crumbling to dust until only a skeleton remains.
* BullyHunter: It was this hobby of his that landed him in class E when he beat up a top-ranking student in defense of a member of said class.
* ButterflyKnife: For added cool, the anime gives Karma one during his introductory attack on Koro-sensei. He even shows off a few tricks before pocketing it.
* CharacterDevelopment: Sheds his BrilliantButLazy traits after his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and BreakTheHaughty moments, as shown in Chapter 76, when a panel depicting his room shows that he has actually been studying. It pays off during [[spoiler: the second semester mid-terms, where he ranks second, and is the only student in Class E with improved scores despite being insufficiently prepared for the exams.]]
* CheshireCatGrin: He's often seen wearing a wide, open-mouthed grin, especially when he's in the middle of ruining someone's day.
* CombatPragmatist: Justified by the nature of the series. His real strength lies in his intelligence and traps.
* {{Delinquent}}: He often skips classes, loves to pick fights on streets and anywhere, and was suspended before the beginning of the series.
* EmptyEyes: Looking closely, Karma's eyes lack the shine his classmates have. Also, his eyes are drawn a little wider, making him appear just a bit... [[UncannyValley off]] compared to the others.
* EvilRedhead: At first. Has shades of a male FieryRedhead afterward.
* FieryRedhead: His red hair matches his violent and rebellious personality.
* FirstNameBasis: Most of his classmates, as well as Koro-sensei, call him by his first name. He's sometimes called by his last name.
* {{Foil}}: Gakushuu Asano might be one being set up for him, seeing as both students are the strongest of their respective classes. The fact that [[spoiler:Karma lost to him during the final exams]] really got to him.
* GuileHero: His Establishing Character Moment has him offer Koro-sensei a an introductory handshake...with a hand that's secretly covered in anti-sensei fragments. Other highlights include his plan in Chapter 49.
* HeelFaceTurn: He was not only willing to end Koro-sensei's life, but also to destroy his existence as an teacher. After Koro-sensei saved his life, Karma accepted as his teacher and will "only" try to kill him.
* IShallTauntYou: A common tactic of Karma's that he's very skilled in. If he isn't doing it himself he's coaching others in how to do it.
* KarmicTrickster: Not that his name and habit of hunting bullies isn't a warning... And, you do need that warning for when he gets serious. Do not provoke him -- mayhem ensues.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Karma is initially introduced as an AxCrazy lunatic, but is later revealed to have been a BullyHunter and an excellent student. What landed him in Class E wasn't his being evil, but siding with a Class E student who was being bullied.
* ALessonInDefeat: His scores slip during the first term finals because he was arrogant about his intelligence and didn't study hard enough to succeed with the increased difficulty. Fortunately, he takes the lesson to heart, and starts working much harder from then on.
* MeaningfulName: As a BullyHunter, [[KarmicTrickster Karma]] is the bad thing that happens to [[AssholeVictim bad people]]. He also says that his parents love India, which would explain why they named him like that. He really does enjoy dishing out [[AndIMustScream G-rated ironic fates]] that are still pretty horrendous whenever he can manage them...perhaps a [[{{Troll}} little too much at times]]. Think a young, male Nemesis on a budget.
* NotAfraidToDie: Jumped off a cliff as part of an assassination attempt. He wasn't sure if Koro-sensei would even try to rescue him, and even if he did, if Karma's plan had gone as he intended he would have fallen to his death after killing Koro-sensei. He's developed to become more attached to his life since then.
* [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Evil Bureaucrat]]: What he wants to be when he grows up.
* OralFixation: Chews things--fingernails, paper, whatever--when he's seriously upset.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Can effortlessly subdue [[BigGuy Terasaka]] using one hand, despite being barely half his size. Inverted, as Karma's not that short since he is 175 cm, which is around average or above average height for a Japanese man. He and Terasaka (180 cm) are actually five cenimeters (two inches) apart in height. He just looks short due to Terasaka being so big in build.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of one, from Koro-sensei, after he gets lower scores than previously on the first term exams.]] Of course, it was to help him learn and grow, but it was still harsh-sounding enough to qualify.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Nagisa's Blue Oni.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Nagisa's Sensitive Guy.
* SlasherSmile: Does this very often.
* SociopathicHero: Unlike Nagisa, he isn't just capable of violence, but enjoys it. A lot. People he targets often end up very badly injured. Thankfully, he seems to have [[BullyHunter a sort of a code]].
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: He didn't have to use Koro-sensei's tentacle earphone when he and Nagisa skipped class to go watch Nagisa's favorite movie in Hawaii. Since he's very intelligent, he probably understands and excels at English even though he's never seen speaking it.
* {{Troll}}: When he starts [[ItAmusedMe really enjoying himself]], he can cross the line from the [[TheTrickster Tricksterish]] BullyHunter to outright {{Troll}} in seconds. And, you really ''don't'' want him to do that when he's holding tubes of wasabi paste or anywhere near [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Scotch Bonnets]]... Comes rather too close to FortheEvulz for comfort.
* TrueCompanions: Despite his sometimes aloof behavior, he gets along very well with his classmates and he never harms any of them, despite being a BloodKnight. He's also a BullyHunter because he cares for his classmates.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Karma has yellow-gold eyes, and is most dangerous for his high intelligence and prankster tendencies.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 7. And later a little bit in chapter 51 to 53, along with Nakamura, Isogai and Kanzaki.
* FriendlessBackground: According to her character profile, she had no friends before joining class E.
* MadScientist: A young, G-rated version. Look at her rather worrying smile when she's presenting her [[LaxativePrank "Victoria Falls"]].
* MasterPoisoner: In training. While homemade toxins are her specialty, she really needs to work on her delivery.
* {{Meganekko}}: The only girl of the class who wears glasses.
* NerdsAreSexy: It's her talent for making interesting chemicals that's got Karma's attention. The glasses may also help.
* NoSocialSkills: She is awkward, timid and incredibly straightforward. Her method of trying to poison Koro-sensei was to walk up to him and ask him to drink her concoctions. Then, when Koro-sensei offered to tutor her on how to create a chemical mixture that would kill him, she took him at face value. In truth, the medicine that she made is actually a medicine that improves his fluidity. Koro-sensei uses this as an lesson for Okuda on why delivery (or conversation skills) was also a necessity.
* {{Pettanko}}: She has A-cups.
* ShrinkingViolet: Although she's slowly coming out of her shell, she's still very shy.

* [[DistractedByTheSexy Distracted by the Ugly]]: During the final exams of the first semester, the [[{{Gonk}} ugly]] replacement of Ritsu was sitting next to him, so he couldn't concentrate and ended up getting the lowest score in the class.

* FantasyForbiddingFather[=/=]TranquilFury: Her father is an strict, stern man who despises her attitude and prohibits her anything he thinks may be detrimental to her high status. [[AllThereInTheManual In the volume 03 extras]], her father yells at her and orders her to change her behavior, but she refuses to obey him and states that she's determined to keep going. In the volume 04 extras, her father chews her out (again) and demands she pursues a career in law, which he considers the right path for someone of her status. At that point, Kanzaki [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]], tells him that she wants to become a caretaker and that's final. All with a calm smile in her face.
* GamerChick: Not just regular games. She wins at BulletHell arcade games, while never losing her YamatoNadeshiko demeanor. It's deconstructed, in that she got so good at video games by shirking her studies to rebel against her parents, and that's how she ended up in Class-E.
* LadyOfWar: What she's probably going to wind up being by the time she's grown up a bit. Specialising in hand-guns and short-range weaponry with oodles of grace and refinement, in her case. She's not far from being one already, as it stands.
* NaginatasAreFeminine. She [[ItMakesSenseInContext uses a naginata in the literature exam]] as the YamatoNadeshiko she is.
* NiceGirl: The main reason for her popularity among Class E. When the boys voted on which girl was the most attractive, she came first, and personality and face were listed as the reasons for that.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: She has a bad track record of attracting womanizers and thugs with her looks.
* StepfordSmiler: After falling to Class E, she became depressed because her teenage rebellion led her to fail her family. Thanks to [[PsychologistTeacher Koro-sensei]] she got better.

* AcademicAthlete: She is one of the best students in studies, and excellent in sports. The only reason she drops into Class E is because she was a victim of TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity.
* ClassRepresentative: Together with Isogai.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 44 to 45.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Isogai. Both are the {{Class Representative}}s and {{The Leader}}s of Class E, are nice and helpful, good in basically everything, very popular and are ''ikemen'' (despite Kataoka being a girl).
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: A flashback shows that a female student gave her a love letter. Kayano has a little affection on her, and then there is Kokona who [[FanDisservice licks her hand]]. AllThereInTheManual states Yada has a crush on her.
** [[BridalCarry Princess Carry]]: According to her character profile, she longs to be given one. Unfortunately for her, the rest of the girls in the class misunderstood her and thought she longed to ''give'' one to somebody, [[UpToEleven so they all lined up in front of her asking for one]].
* ExtremeDoormat: Started out like this, anyway. Has since taken a level in backbone.
* {{Foil}}: To Nagisa regarding their athletic abilities. Nagisa is noted to have physical strength equal to a girl, while Kataoka has the athletic conditions of boys.
* InSeriesNickname: Ikemegu (from ''ikemen'') and Megumegu (by Kokona).
* TheLeader: Type II and IV. Like Isogai, she's a charismatic and helpful person, but she's also noted for having a good leadership and command.
* NiceGirl: She's a very helpful student with a nice personality, but, in contrast to Isogai, she had a [[ExtremeDoormat problem with refusing offers]].
* NotSoStoic: Usually one of the more serious students, but sometimes she can't keep her cool.
* OneSteveLimit: With none other than [[SadistTeacher Ta]][[JerkAss ka]][[AxCrazy o]][[WouldHurtAChild ka]].
* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: A victim of this. She spent so much time helping another student study (because of emotional blackmail) that she fell behind in her weaker school subjects and landed in Class E. [[spoiler:After Koro-sensei and others helped her get out of it, she was back on the right footing]].
* {{Tomboy}}: To the point that people describe her as an ''ikemen'' ("cool/good-looking guy").

----
!!!Tropes associated with Yada:

* BuxomIsBetter: She is the only girl in the class who has E-cups, having the largest bust of the girls, and is still growing. Her profile says she worries about the day when she'll go up a cup size. And she was voted as the second most popular girl by the boys during the Kyoto trip because of her breasts. The fact that not even Kayano dislikes her bust helps.
* CoolBigSis: Apparently. She tells Koro-sensei a sad story about her and her younger brother [[spoiler:to escape from jail during the tag game]]. The story is a lie, but it's unknown if she really has a younger brother.
* CrazyPrepared: Learning from Bitch-sensei, she starts carrying around different organizations' badges just in case.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 66. Has another one on Chapter 107, along with Kurahashi.

* EveryoneHatesMath: She's one of the eight/nine students who is weak in math.
* FilleFatale: In charm-school training and quite enthusiastic about it. She was the most focused when attending Bitch-sensei's courses, and decided to take the skills of infiltration (as in entertaining and negotiating) as her secondary weapon for her future.
* HoneyPot: G-rated version, but she did learn how to charm people from Bitch-sensei. She usually takes care of the role of negotiator on Class E's missions.
* LipstickLesbian: AllThereInTheManual suggests that she may be this. Her feelings for Kataoka are described in the same way as Irina's feelings for Karasuma.
* ThoseTwoGirls: Frequently shown alongside Kurahashi on group shots.

* EveryoneHatesMath: She's one of the eight/nine students who is weak in math.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: ''"I love all living things~."'' She is an expert when it comes to biology, and she also can interact with dolphins, [[spoiler:which helps her during the assassination attempt on Koro-sensei in the Assassination Island arc]].

3rd best knife work (tied), girls' side.

!!!Tropes associated with Hayami:

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first few chapters she had a much more mild personality, smiling and chatting with other students normally. It was only later on that she developed into TheStoic.
* ColdSniper: Best marksmanship on the girls' side, and possibly the coldest, most businesslike student.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 68, along with Chiba.

* ExtremeDoormat: She never gives any excuses or complains, as revealed by Koro-sensei.
* GirlishPigtails: Since the Assassination Island arc.
* TheQuietOne: Doesn't talk often. Her few conversations are straightforward and to the point.

* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: It's revealed that she was a victim of this like Kataoka, and that's why she dropped into Class E.
* {{Tsundere}}: After saying the line "Don't get the wrong idea!" to [[spoiler:Itona]], [[AllMenArePerverts Okajima]] and [[{{Otaku}} Takebayashi]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] that's a typical ''tsundere'' line. Hayami usually doesn't act like a ''tsundere'', though, and her line doesn't make sense in context to be a ''tsundere'' line. It's more like those two really want it to be true.
* WeaponOfChoice: A handgun.

----
!!!Tropes associated with Chiba:

* BlindingBangs: [[{{Irony}} They are actually the reason he shoots so well.]] Each strand of hair marks off a part of his field of vision, so he can use them in place of gun sights.
** In one chapter, however, this gives him the nickname "Adult Game Protagonist" due to the common habit of the protagonist in hentai games having a similar hairstyle.
* ColdSniper: Best marksmanship on the boys' side, and one of the most serious students. Though he smiles much more than Hayami.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 68, along with Hayami.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaOhsaka (Japanese), Creator/JerryJewell (English)

Class 3-E's male class representative.

An intelligent, athletic, and all-around nice student who comes from a very poor family. He was placed in Class 3-E as punishment for having a part-time job, which was a violation the school rules. 2nd best marksmanship, best knife work, boys' side. [[spoiler:Ranked top in school for Social Studies, and placed 10th for composite score.]]
----
!!!Tropes associated with Isogai:

* AcademicAthlete: He's excellent in studying and sports. The only reason he's in Class E is because he broke the school rules by having a part-time job.
* TheAce: He seems to be good at every single thing he does, be it combat or studies. Asides from that, he also works part time to help his family, takes care of his younger siblings and is the class rep of Class E. No wonder why he is regarded In-Universe as one of the nicest and more trustworthy guys in the class, if not the whole manga. Similar to Karma, he is only in Class E because he broke the school rules.
** The first half of Chapter 90 is basically dedicated to establishing how awesome he is at everything.
* BadassInANiceSuit: As noted above, his combat skills are exceptional. He's also one of only two characters to wear the full school uniform, with both jacket and waistcoat (the other is Takebayashi).
* {{Bishounen}}: He's one of the boys who looks a bit effeminate, though not nearly as much as Nagisa. Also acknowledged in-universe to be the hottest guy in Class E.
* ChildhoodFriends: AllThereInTheManual states he and Maehara grew in the same neighbourhood and have been best friends since elementary school.
* ClassRepresentative: Together with Kataoka.
* ADayInTheLimelight: A little bit in chapter 51 to 53, along with Nakamura, Okuda and Kanzaki. Has a much bigger one in the arc from chapter 90 to 94.
* DisappearedDad: Supplementary material reveals his father to be deceased.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: When dealing with four particularly assholish students from the main school, Nagisa, Nakamura and Kanzaki all scare them off by holding pens or rulers against their necks. Isogai does the same thing, but with a single finger.
* HairAntennae: Has them, though he doesn't fit the personality type. His character profile says that people want to rip them out, so if you see him in fanart and another character is near him holding scissors or shears, that's why. Some bonus art shows it's also apparently genetic, given his younger siblings also have it.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Maehara, to the point AllThereInTheManual he has full knowledge of his entire dating history.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: What he wants to be when he grows up.
* KnifeNut: Best of the male students.
* TheLeader: Type IV. He's the second student considered as the leader because of his charisma and his helpfulness. Regarding his leadership skills, he uses the individual strengths of his classmates in benifit for the whole class and he supports them when needed.
* NiceGuy: He's a helpful boy with a friendly and cheerful personality. That's one of the reasons why he's so popular, even among the main building (female) students.
--> '''Maehara:''' "He's just a nice guy."
* SocialClimber: Of the idealistic variety. Though he comes from a poor family, according to his profile he wants to own a business some day.
* SpearCounterpart: To Kataoka. Both are the {{Class Representative}}s and {{The Leader}}s of Class E, are nice and helpful, good in basically everything, very popular and are ''ikemen''.
* SupportingLeader: The ClassRepresentative. The pole match between Class A and Class E starting in Chapter 91 is basically a fight between the two leaders of Isogai and Asano Jr.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Particularly in crowd shots, Isogai and Maehara are almost always seen standing close or next to each other.

After finding the enthusiasm to kill Koro-sensei with the class, his talent for encouraging and motivating people was revealed. [[spoiler:Placed 1st in home economics, tied with Yoshida, Muramatsu and Hazama]].
----
!!!Tropes associated with Terasaka:

* TheAtoner: Becomes this after the pool arc.
* TheBigGuy: Does not have talent in assassination. But in Koro-sensei's words, he's had an amazing potential as an operational type assassin, he shines on physical strength and an ability to (and encourage others to) get things done.
* BookDumb: Since Terasaka is the only student who is particularly weak in multiple subjects, Koro-sensei decides to [[ShoutOut treat him like]] IdiotHero ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.
* TheBully: He used his tall and muscular body to suppress other students without fighting. This bit back when his grades became low enough that students in the main building are unimpressed with him, and now they bully him. He's still a bully, but not as bad as he used to be.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 46 to 49.
* {{Delinquent}}: He's a troublemaker who didn't take his grades seriously during his first two years at Kunugigaoka. Ironically, he was scorned by his former classmates for trying to get the other students to slack off instead of studying to stay out of Class 3-E.
* DumbMuscle: Has a habit of doing things without thinking. Subverted, though, as he isn't really dumb.
* EasilyForgiven: Terasaka does redeem himself for participating in Shiro's scheme during the Pool Arc, but nobody seems to remember that time when he convinced Nagisa to become a suicide bomber. Fortunately, Nagisa brushed off the incident as water under the bridge when the attempt was later referenced by Karasuma.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Those trope citations for TheBully, {{Delinquent}}, and {{Jerkass}} are well deserved, but he draws the line at [[spoiler: endangering the lives of his classmates by blowing up the pool they're in]].
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Karma punches him in the face after he hysterically tried justify that [[spoiler: he was being used by Shiro to blow up the pool containing the rest of the students]].
** Later, Terasaka has to hurl a [[spoiler: stun baton at Nagisa's head]] to snap him out of a potentially fatal rampage.

* HiddenDepths: Coming from him, it's surprising that he wants to become a [[spoiler: politician]]
* {{Jerkass}}: His basic MO, unfortunately.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He did learn to care more about his friends.
* MadeOfIron: Gets hit by one of Itona's [[spoiler:tentacles]], but he's able to endure it. In the Assassination Island arc, [[spoiler:he is also infected by the virus]], but he doesn't let anyone notice that and he still fights alongside with the other remaining students, due to sheer [[{{Determinator}} determination]] of [[TheAtoner an atoner]].
* TheMole: Briefly worked as one for Shiro so he could avoid drawing attention with his presence. [[spoiler: Quit once he found out just how little regard for Class E's lives Shiro had]].
* RealMenWearPink: [[spoiler:During the first term finals he gets a perfect score (and is tied for the top rank) in home economics]].
* RulesLawyer: [[spoiler:Well, it was never stipulated ''which'' subjects they should get first in, was it?]]
* SmugSnake: Yup--tends to think himself as being more important than he is. And, that the best way for a peaceful life is to bring others down to his own level. Oozes Smug. This has been in the process of changing a bit since he's taken a level in self-realization, but can still happen at random intervals.
* TookALevelInKindness: Since during the Pool arc, he is less aloof to his classmates.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 127 where she is the writer of the school play.

* {{Bookworm}}: She likes reading literature with dark stories. The Pool arc shows her prefering reading books rather than swimming.

* {{Delinquent}}: She often hangs out with Terasaka and his friends.
* {{Expy}}: Her appearance is similar to [[Literature/TheRing Sadako]].
* NamesToTrustImmediately: Subverted. Her name sounds cute, but she didn't become a cute girl like her mother hoped, mostly because her mother is hysterical.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is one of the smarter students and the only boy who wears glasses.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: Koro-sensei takes off his glasses for a couple of panels, and he's revealed to be an absolute ''' stunner''' without them.

She ends up sorry about it after she learns [[spoiler: about Nagisa's relationship with his mother, which is the reason he looks so much like a girl.]] Not that this stops her from putting him in drag one last time when the guy who got a crush on Nagisa during their stint at the hotel drops by for the school festival.
* ThePeepingTom: Subverted, when she peeps in the men's bath and [[AllMenArePerverts Okajima]] says that this is actually ''their'' job. However, it turns out that she wants to know how a naked Koro-sensei looks like, which would be helpful against him. It doesn't work, though.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Seems to have this relationship with Nagisa, often seen hanging out with him and teasing him for his feminine appearance (possibly because of their shared interest in English).

!!!Tropes associated with Okajima:

* AllMenArePerverts: So far, all of his noteworthy lines have been expressing this as an opinion. He sees a love of large breasts as a bond between all men, including himself, Koro-sensei and Itona. It's a good thing he doesn't sit next to Kayano.
* BadassBoast: "I am a pervert and you can despise me if you want. But because I ''am'' the most perverted guy out there, I know ''perversion can save the world''." Even his classmates are impressed by this line.
* ButtMonkey: The anime throws him into this role, especially in episode 5, when he ends up running into every hazard there is on a trip down the mountain.
* CameraFiend: He usually wants to take hot pictures of girls and women.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 56, parallel to Kurahashi.
* EveryoneHatesMath: One of the eight students who is weak on math.
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Perversion has Standards:]] When Koro-sensei is accused of stealing underwear and listing down the girls cup sizes, he is utterly repulsed.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Okajima convinces the class that they should run and jump from roof to roof, so they can train while going to school. In the end, he and Kimura [[spoiler:break an old man's leg by accident, which causes a few problems and makes Koro-sensei '''very angry''']].
* SeriousBusiness: ''"Perversion can save the world."'' He puts different porn magazines in the forest to research Koro-sensei's taste for a ''month''. Then he uses the right porn magazines as a trap. Though, everyone can see it's a trap.

!!!Tropes associated with Kimura:

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 89.
* EmbarrassingFirstName[=/=]AwesomeMcCoolname: His legal name is [[spoiler:Justice Kimura]], which embarrasses him a lot with all the attention it draws, which is why he tells everyone to call him by his preferred name, Masayoshi. The rest of the class doesn't seem to think it's that bad though.
* GunsAkimbo: [[spoiler:In chapter 89, when he manages to take down Karasuma in the shooting exercise.]]
* LightningBruiser: He is the fastest runner in the class, able to do a 100 meter dash in 11 seconds flat, putting him in striking distance of the world record for someone in his age group. He uses his speed during the baseball match and during the Assassination Island arc.
* NamesToTrustImmediately: [[spoiler:Hey, it's Justice!]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: Got a little bit in chapter 63.
* CastingGag[=/=]ActorAllusion: Her seiyuu KanaUeda also voice [[MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro Yako]] who often said the phrase "The culprit is you!", which was also said by Fuwa herself in chapter 63.
* FantasySequence: Has one where she imagines Koro-sensei and Itona living together as children... in medieval times. They were separated from each other while fleeing an invasion. When asked why only one of them appears human, she [[HandWave Hand Waves]] it as "a mutation".
* GenkiGirl: Becomes especially excited when making up stories and relating scenarios to other mangas.

* MediumAwareness / LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Ultimately became the go-to character for dropping references to other manga and other fourth-wall awareness moments.

[[folder:Class 3-E - Transfer Students]]
The two transfer students are special assassins sent by the government to aid the assassination effort against Koro-sensei. Their physical capabilities have been scientifically enhanced and their personalities (and their bodies) are quite eccentric as a result. Since both assassins are officially registered students at Kunugigaoka, Koro-sensei, under the conditions of his contract, is not allowed to retaliate against either of them.

!!Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery/Ritsu Ji

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SakiFujita (Japanese)

A transfer student and a literal killing machine with the face of a girl, designed to operate the combined armaments on warships and warplanes, and adapted to kill Koro-sensei. She is the inferior assassin to fellow assassin Itona, but she is still one of the most dangerous students.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Ritsu:

* TheAce: She's the strongest student in terms of firepower.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Ristu is designed as a learning AI-unit dedicated to assassination with a carefully simulated and bounded personality. Decided she preferred being a Moe student against orders when she got a personality upgrade (although, still quite happy to lend a helping hand to try destroying Koro-sensei).[[note]]This is more due to recognizing that working with the students is the better solution than simply spraying gunfire every period, rather than any actual liking for being Moe, however.[[/note]]
* ArcVillain: In chapter 20 to 22.[[note]]She had a HeelFaceTurn in chapter 21 and wasn't a villain anymore in chapter 22.[[/note]]
* ArmCannon: Several, which she can freely customize inside her body.
* AttackDrone: Her body is a [[TheMonolith monolith-shaped box]] with a screen which displays her face. Contains several customizable firearms and her AI, which can analyze Koro-sensei's movements and adjust her attack pattern accordingly.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's able to recalculate her firing patterns based on Koro-sensei's movements so that her next barrage of fire lands a hit.
* BadassBoast: After blowing off Koro-sensei's index finger, she delivers this:
--> '''Ritsu:''' "The killing probability of the next shot is less than 0.001%. The killing probability of the shot after that is less than 0.003%. The probability that I'll be able to kill you by graduation is more than 90%."
* CharacterDevelopment: Hilariously done within three chapters, from an EmotionlessGirl to a GenkiGirl with an own will. It should be noted that Koro-sensei invokes this trope.
* ComputerVoice: Speaks in a cold, computerized monotone. Her tone becomes more friendly and less mechanical when her personality is upgraded.
* CostumePorn: She wears fitting costumes for every situation. During the Assassination Island arc, she cosplays Ai from ''Manga/CatsEye''.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Ritsu may be an evolving machine capable of being a one-machine-firing-squad, with guns she can change the shape of at whim, but use some duct tape to keep the gunports closed and she's nothing more than a talking brick.
* CryCute: PlayedForLaughs, just to show how emotional she has become from her EmotionlessGirl state.
-->'''Kataoka''' (''to Terasaka'')''':''' "''Geez, you made her cry.''"\\
'''Hara''' (''to Terasaka'')''':''' "''Terasaka-kun made a 2D girl cry.''"
* EmotionlessGirl: Justified, she's a machine. However, it didn't last long, and she became a cheerful girl within a night, thanks to Koro-sensei who upgraded her. She even cries now.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: She's from Norway, technically.
* FullNameBasis: Everyone called her by her full moniker, with a -san for good measure, until they just shorten it to Ritsu.
* FunSize: Mobile Ritsu appears on smartphone displays.
* GenkiGirl: Post-upgrade, she becomes very cheerful and more sociable with the rest of the class.
* GirlishPigtails: Gains two long pigtails on the back of her head with her personality upgrade.
* GunsAkimbo: And she has more than two arms.
* TheGunslinger: She uses only guns, [[MorphWeapon and capable of changing their shape]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Originally a loner who tried to assassinate Koro-sensei without caring about the other students. After Koro-sensei upgraded her, and helped her recognize that working with the students was a more assured way of killing Koro-sensei, she is now one of the TrueCompanions.
* HollywoodHacking: She has high hacking skills since she is a AI and she hacked every cell phone of her classmates to download herself, giving them a mobile version of herself called "Mobile Ritsu", which is very useful for the class. During the Assassination Island arc, she hacks the secure system of the Fukuma Hotel Palace.
** [[spoiler: The God of Death turns this around on her mobile version, due to its lessened security.]]
* InSeriesNickname: "Ritsu", since she has an OverlyLongName.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: A minor version - the reason she rebels against her creators and keeps the program updates Koro-sensei gave her, even after her physical ones are mostly removed, is because she wants to work with her classmates and have a better chance at killing Koro-sensei.
* LoopholeAbuse: Koro-sensei's agreement as a teacher directly states he is not allowed to harm any of the students; that agreement says nothing on whether or not the "student" is human or not. The definitions of "harm" are extended, however, to preventing Ritsu from being upgraded, after Koro-sensei went so far with her initially.
* MatterReplicator: She is able to mold a special plastic inside her body into many different forms, even things like replicas of statues and flower bouquets.
* MachineMonotone: Part of being an EmotionlessGirl. And as being an actual machine, anyway. [[{{SubvertedTrope}} Koro-sensei gives her a much more natural voice so as to be more acceptable to the students]].
* MeaningfulName: Actually it's a ''literal'' name.
* MissionControl: Her role in the Assassination Island arc. An unusual example, as she is present with the other attack members all the time, just in her mobile form.
* MoreDakka: She uses shotguns and machine guns; due to the guns being connected to a supply of anti-sensei bullets, this means that she can fire them at max capacity without ever slowing down.
** This receives a bit of a deconstruction, in that when Ritsu first showed this off she pelted the other students more than Koro-sensei. This wasn't out of mis-aiming, but rather that, since Koro-sensei can move at Mach 20 in an enclosed space, it was all but ''required'' to learn how to hurt him. Since all she was firing were anti-sensei bullets, no bystanders were actually hurt, but it was enough that Terasaka taped her gun ports closed so the other students could actually ''learn''.
* MorphWeapon: Her guns are made from a type of plastic she forms inside of herself, though she's not limited to just making weapons out of it.
* MsFanservice: While she had a full-sized LCD screen, she gave Suguya an answer in class by writing the answer on her thigh. She is also associated with CostumePorn.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She is one of the most dangerous students and her main body has multiple arms.
* NerdGlasses: Her second ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''' cosplay.
* NewTransferStudent: In chapter 20, the politicians announced that two new transfer students would join the class. Ritsu is the first of the two.
* OverlyLongName: Jiritsu Shikou Kotei Houdai, or Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery in English.
* ThePromise: Ritsu upholding her promise to shape flowers for the other students is what proves to them that she's not a mere machine, and that she survived the reboot her creators tried to foist onto her.
* RobotGirl: A hilarious and original variation. Unlike other {{Robot Girl}}s, Ritsu doesn't have a humanoid body, but its rather a huge box with weapons. Koro-sensei initially tried to give her a full LCD screen to make her seem more natural, but by default she simply has a screen that displays her face and little else.
* ScreensAreCameras: We get a vision from her perspective a couple of times, and each time is from the screen of her main body. However, it's hard to tell if the trope is being played straight or if Ritsu genuinely has a camera inside her screen, considering all the other advances about her.
* ShortHairWithTail: Most of her hair is in a bob haircut, but two long "tails" are grown out on both sides.
* TechnoBabble: Justified, she's an AI.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Goes from a EmotionlessGirl to a GenkiGirl thanks to Koro-sensei's upgrades. Her creators wanted to turn her from her cheerful personality to her emotionless killer machine again. However, she was able to save and hide her memories from them and retaining her personality.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Mobile Ritsu is this.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Provides an interesting example.
** Koro-sensei initially saw her as just a machine, but after she proved capable of evolving to match his tactics, he took a genuine interest in making her a proper student at his own monetary expense. He even refers to her creators as her "parents".
** The students, like Koro-sensei, didn't initially see her as anything more than an annoying machine. Her upgrade by Koro-sensei helped with this, though the class was still split due to the fact that much of her interactions were just considered programming. It was only when she proved willing to defy her creators to keep her programming, something neither her creators nor Koro-sensei had programmed into her to do or how to do, that everyone saw her as a student and ally.
** Her creators, however, see her as nothing more than a machine that will advance warfare and their own careers, caring nothing for the friendly and warm artificial intelligence that can actually hold conversations with people being developed within their war machine.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has purple hair.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A, during the times when her human visual representation is rendered as a full body.

!!Itona Horibe
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiOgata (Japanese)

The second transfer student who was sent to assassinate Koro-sensei. He's the superior assassin to Ritsu, and he's a creature similar to Koro-sensei who refers to him as his "brother". His backstory reveals that [[spoiler:his family was a cellphone parts company which went bankrupt and his parents abandoned him. Shiro found him and implated the tentacle cells on his head. After losing three times to Koro-sensei, Shiro abandoned him, and Itona finally intends Class 3 after losing his tentacles which would have killed him. Now Itona is part of Terasaka's group who helped him accept his losses]].
----
!!!Tropes associated with Itona:

* TheAce: The most dangerous and most lethal student in the class. The reason, why he's transferred to the class after Ritsu, was because she was "significantly inferior" to him.
** BrokenAce: [[spoiler:He was already broken before receiving his power. And then he's abandoned by Shiro after losing three times to Koro-sensei, he gets even more broken. Fortunately, Koro-sensei and the class help him out of his crisis.]]
** Even after [[spoiler:losing his tentacles]], he retains his TheAce status by being good at studying and a GadgeteerGenius and shows some of his incredibly physical abilities.
* AllMenArePerverts: Like Koro-sensei, he loves big boobs.
* ArcVillain: In his introductory arc (chapter 29 to 32), then in the Pool arc (chapter 46 to 49), [[spoiler:and the final Itona arc (chapter 83 to 87)]].
* {{Badass}}: The only one who could fight Koro-sensei in man-to-man combat until being BroughtDownToNormal.
* BigEater[=/=]SweetTooth: Has the same love of sweets as Koro-sensei. He's seen eating a whole pile of them before his showdown with Koro-sensei.
* BrainsAndBrawn: He fights Koro-sensei with his enourmous strength, while his handler Shiro makes the plans and preparations for his battles.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Has his tentacles removed in chapter 87. After Shiro abandoned him, he no longer had the ability to recharge them, so they would have killed him otherwise.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Even about people he somewhat likes, he always says exactly what he thinks of them (and the disgusting ramen they give him for free).
* CastFromHitPoints: His tentacles give him great power to fight in par with Koro-sensei when the latter is in disadvantage, [[spoiler:but they need a lot of energy and cause immense pain and stress to his body and brain that he needs rare and expensive medicine on a daily basis to stay alive. The tentacles drain so much energy from his brain that he's unable to use his high intelligence and learning ability]].
* CatchPhrase: ''"Sore dake de ii."'' It gets translated in a couple different ways, but it generally means "That alone is enough." If he weren't a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} it would be more like a MadnessMantra.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He just doesn't think like most people.
* CombatTentacles: He has the same tentacles like Koro-sensei on his head[[spoiler:until chapter 87]].
* CripplingOverspecialization: The tentacles, while providing him great strenght and power, severely limited his intellect and decision making prowess, forcing to him to attack mercilessly without any chance of overcoming any setback. No wonder the planning was done completely by Shiro.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:After his HeelFaceTurn]], chapter 88 focuses on his [[spoiler:integration in the class]]. He later gets a shining moment in chapter 94, [[spoiler:bringing his class the victory in boutaoshi]].
* {{Delinquent}}: [[spoiler:Is now hanging around with Terasaka and his friends.]]
* DemotedToExtra: He gets a few scenes after [[spoiler:joining Class-E]], but quickly falls into almost voiceless extra territory.
* TheDragon: To his handler Shiro [[spoiler:until being abandoned by him]].
* DynamicEntry: Is first introduced by walking straight through a wall, demolishing it and then calmly taking his seat.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he is officially introduced, he crushed through the wall and saying that he was victorious against the wall because he was stronger. That shows his obsession with winning.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: The most obvious sign of his inhuman nature. At first they had multiple rings, but by his second arc they had mutated to have two pupils instead.
* ExpositoryHairStyleChange: To demonstrate his increase in strength, a part of his hair and his tentacles become black. The number of tentacles on his head are reduced in favor of fewer but stronger ones.
** [[spoiler:The tentacles get WhipSword covers but only for one chapter.]]
** His hair becomes significantly shorter after [[spoiler: his HeelFaceTurn]], which he covers up with a large bandana.
* FirstNameBasis: He is also one of the students who is called by his first name.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why he is so obsessed with winning and and having tentacles is because [[spoiler:his parents abandoned him after their company went bankrupt, and his schoolmates bullied him for bein a loser. That's why he accepted Shiro's offer to gain power to become a winner.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: Demonstrates a knack for gadgetry [[spoiler:after losing the tentacles which were impairing his higher brain functions and joining the class for real.]]
* GeniusBruiser: Not at first, [[spoiler:but after he loses his tentacles, he shows a great deal of intelligence, as well as retaining excellent physical abilities]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:He officially joins the class for real in chapter 87, now being in Terasaka's group.]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[spoiler:Due to being abandoned by his real parents (and later Shiro) he has (to use a quote from ''Manga/MedakaBox'') an "abnormal need to be abnormal", which helped him withstand the painful experiments Shiro performed on him. Unfortunately his strength is also what could kill him -- the tentacles use a lot of energy and if he doesn't let go of them and his need to be special he'll ''disintegrate''.]]
* KryptoniteFactor: The same rubbery material that harms Koro-sensei harms him.
* NewTransferStudent: In chapter 20, the politicians announced that two new transfer students would join the class. Itona is the second of the two, who joins the class in chapter 29.
* ParentalAbandonment:
** [[spoiler:After he failed to kill Koro-sensei a third time, his guardian Shiro abandons him in the end of chapter 84.]]
** [[spoiler:His real parents abandoned him before he was discovered by Shiro due to their cellphone parts business going bankrupt.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Of the focused and serious variety. He only shows the slightest hint of a smile once, and it may have been a trick of the camera angle.
* PrehensileHair: Made of tentacles.
* PutOnABus: Happens frequently to him, since his personality is unstable and Shiro tutors him in his home.
** TheBusCameBack: Of course he comes back. Like in the Pool arc. [[spoiler:Or in chapter 76. And then finally in chapter 83.]]
* TheRival: To ''everyone'' in the class [[spoiler:until his HeelFaceTurn]].
* {{Samurai}}: In Ritsu's flashback, when both of them trained together, he was wearing a samurai armor and used a katana. He has never been seen like that again.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A white, furry muffler. Sometimes he wears it into battle, sometimes he doesn't. [[spoiler:After joining the class, he ditches the scarf in favor of a bandana.]]
* SmugSuper: He looks down on the other students, but he ''is'' stronger than them, and he is the only one who can fight Koro-sensei from man to man. He gets better.
* ThereWasADoor: His classmates' reaction when he was introduced. He thinks otherwise about it.
-->'''Itona:''' "I... am victorious. I have proven myself to be stronger than this classroom's walls."
* ThousandYardStare: His default expression.
* {{Tykebomb}}: A young boy who has powers similar to Koro-sensei transfers into the class in order to kill Koro-sensei. His handler also follows him in because he's rather AxCrazy.
** DefusingTheTykebomb: Koro-sensei tries to accomplish this. [[spoiler:Later, he and the students have to in order to save his life. They succeed.]]
* UnstoppableRage: It's implied that he's uncontrollable if he goes berserk, so Shiro has to stop him before it happens.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's a major puzzle piece in the mystery part of the storyline. [[spoiler:Now that he has joined the class, he's really a WalkingSpoiler]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: He shared Koro-sensei's weaknesses, [[spoiler:including water]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Shiro abandons him when he realizes he'll never defeat Koro-Sensei even with tentacles that use ''three nuclear powerplants worth of energy''; and not only that he uses Itona as "bait" to keep Koro-sensei in one place and distracted while his team fires at them.]]

----
[[folder:Class 3-A]]
The tip top of the student body of Kunugigaoka Junior High. Led by the Chairman's son Gakushuu Asano.
----
!!!Tropes associated with multiple Class 3-A students:
* {{The Ace}}s: The Five Virtuosos are the top in their respective subjects. And come with the requisite ego to match. The four foreign exchange students are top class sportsmen.
* {{The Big Guy}}s[=/=]{{The Brute}}s: The four foreign exchange students are ridiculously huge and they are top sportsmen.
* CharacterDevelopment: When they're [[spoiler: completely trounced by Class E for the second semester exams]], they all realize [[spoiler: that the principal was wrong and humbly accept their defeat, realizing that the system is wrong.]]
* {{Dumb Muscle}}s: The four exchance students are called for the sports festival, so Class 3-A has an athletic and physical advantage against Class 3-E. The four leave the thinking to Asano.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Asano calls four foreign top sportsmen to transfer to his school, so his class can defeat Class 3-E in the sports festival.
* OnlyOneName: The four exchange students.
* [[RichBitch Rich Bastards]]: Four of the five virtuosos don't care about the holidays trip because their families travel to better places and Asano's family has a maid and a chauffeur. All of them are huge assholes.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: The snobs to Class 3-A's slobs.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The four foreign exchange students are 15 years old like the rest of the class, but they look much older. No wonder that some characters doubt their age.

----
!!Gakushuu Asano
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamoruMiyano (Japanese)

Student council president of Kunugigaoka junior high school, the top scorer of the Five Virtuosos who have the highest scores in the school, and son of chairman Gakuhou Asano. He is every bit as domineering as his father, but lacks his sense of greater purpose. Before the first term finals, he leads class A, comprised of the school's top students, in a massive group study session to ensure class E cannot upset the school's established system at his father's behest.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Asano:
* TheAce: Ranked either first or second in ''all'' his subjects during the Final Exam arc. Also speaks multiple languages and displays astonishing martial arts ability.
* AntagonisticOffspring[=/=]EvilerThanThou: His relationship with his father is basically this. He wants to keep his father like a pet, while his father intends to make him a corporate slave for the rest of his life. One has to wonder what the mother is like. Although it's shown in chapzer 94 that Asano Sr. is worse.
* ArcVillain: In chapters 50 to 54. He returns to this role in chapter 90 to 94.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler: After Chairman Asano is basically brought back from the edge after Korosensei beats his workbook/grenade challenge, he and Asano Jr. bond by talking about how much money they're going to make by suing each other.]]
* BadassBookworm: Is revealed to have some martial art skills and he can even [[spoiler:puts the boys of Class 3-E in trouble]].
* {{Bishounen}}: The only one of two good looking students in the entire main building.
* BreakTheHaughty: Hit with this in chapter 54, with his father rubbing salt into the wound.
* CunningLinguist: In chapter 90, he's seen speaking English, French, Korean and Portuguese with astonishing ease.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** On the wrong side of this trope. Even his fellow Virtuosos, none of them pleasant people, think of him as black-hearted.
** On the right side, Asano is increasingly disgusted of his father, who is the worst person in the whole series. [[spoiler: His father making his classmates into motivated vengeful zombies just to defeat Class E became the last straw for him, and actually begs Class E to stop his father.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: Like father like son. Of course the easiest way to beat your dad in your little info war is... an extended examination beat-down contest with Class E to force them to tell you what he's hiding? The thought to ask never crosses his mind.
* LastNameBasis: With his own father, though this isn't too uncommon in formal settings. Also, everyone else calls him by his last name, too. To distinguish him from his father, the chairman is always referred with his title before his name.
* MagneticHero: Or at least, Magnetic Leader. Somehow he has a lot of friends from around the world who show real loyalty to him on multiple occasions.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "excels at study." His father knew exactly what he was going for when he named him.
* OnlySaneMan: He was the most insightful when noticing all the strange happenings around Class E. [[spoiler: He was the only person unaffected by his father's brainwashing for the finals, given that his father dismissed him earlier in his classroom.]]
* OverlordJr: The son of Chairman Asano.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Receives one from his father in chapter 54 after [[spoiler:losing the bet with Class E. Asano's father mocks his plan to turn him into a pet when he couldn't even win against people his own age.]]
** Happens again by the same person 40 chapters later.
* TheRival: To Karma in the First Semester's Final Exam arc, and to Isogai in the Sports Festival arc.
* TheSociopath: He's inherited most of the traits his father displays, in particular the charisma and callous manipulative behavior.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Asano is a dead ringer for a younger Chairman Asano.
* YouMonster: His reaction to his father's metaphorical NightmareFace.

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked second in the school, specializing in social studies. As head of the broadcasting club, he had a few cameos before being formally introduced. He was one of the speakers in the May school assembly, and the announcer in the exhibition baseball match.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Araki:

* MouthOfSauron: Though it's not any kind of official capacity, most of the time when he appears he's the one implementing Asano's vision of the school by inciting the other students to mock Class-E, since the chairman himself doesn't often involve himself in the day-to-day lives of his students.
* SmarmyHost: Makes constant obviously disparaging comments about Class-E in his speeches.
* TheRival: To Isogai in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding social studies.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: In his first appearance, in chapter 11, if you didn't notice he was wearing a student uniform you might think he was a member of the faculty.

----
!!Ren Sakakibara

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked third in the school, specializing in Japanese.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Sakakibara:

* {{Bishounen}}: Not as much as Asano due to his rather odd hairstyle.
* CasanovaWannabe: He enjoys flirting with girls, and he flirts with Kanzaki, too.
* TheRival: To Kanzaki in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding Japanese.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Though, he is still pretty arrogant, he just doesn't badmouth Class-E that much than the others.

----
!!Natsuhiko Koyama

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked fifth in the school (Karma took the fourth place ranking), specializing in science. Prior to the first term finals, appeared only in Terasaka's pre-class E flashbacks.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Koyama:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Even the other Virtuosos don't seem to care for his presence very much.
* {{Gonk}}: With his extremely crooked teeth, bizarre eyes and grotesque expressions, he really sets the bar for ugliness high.
* NightmareFace: How he's introduced. It's soon revealed to be his default expression.
* TheRival: To Okuda in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding science.
* UnknownRival: To Karma in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding the rank of the fourth best student.
* VictoryIsBoring: Feels no satisfaction from [[spoiler:beating Karma in the finals, because Karma screwed himself over by not studying.]]

----
!!Tomoya Seo

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked sixth in the school, specializing in English. Was also Kaho Tsuchiya's boyfriend for a brief time before a prank by class E caused them to break up.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Seo:

* ForeignExchangeStudent: Not currently, but spent a year abroad in Los Angeles because of his parents' work.
* {{Jerkass}}: Beyond the normal non-class E unkindness, he is verbally abusive even to members of his own class while he tutors them. And to old peole, too.
* {{Pride}}: Has a strange, almost obsessive vanity. When sitting under an awning in the rain he remarks, apropos of nothing, about what a sense of superiority it gives him to be in the only dry area.
* TheRival: To Nakamura in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding English.

----
!!Kevin

The American National Junior Football representative.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kevin:

!!Kazutaka Shindou

Captain on the baseball club, able to pitch fastballs on the level of pro players.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Shindou:

* TheAce: How he sees himself and his team members, who all excel in both military arts (sports) and literary arts (study). He refers to them as chosen ones.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's prone of making boasts.
* BluntYes: To when Karma questions whether he really is a chosen one.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He and the whole baseball team by Chairman Asano during the game. The chairman uses only his choice of words and charisma to manipulate their minds, so they are entirely focused on winning and act like berserkers.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His pitches are incredibly fast for a middle schooler, but since he only has two, class E was able to counter and manipulate him easily until the Chairman mixed things up.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Sugino, with a power vs. technique dynamic. He acknowledges it after Class E wins the exhibition match.
* HeelFaceTurn: The first main school student to openly help class E, even if only in a small way. Then again, the baseball club was always less malicious towards class E than the rest of the school. They mostly limited themselves to a few insensitive comments and being typical arrogant jocks.
* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: He always wanted to introduce a group of people like an over-the-top announcer. He gets his chance with the Five Virtuosos.
* LargeHam: He really enjoys being overly dramatic.
* MindControlEyes: When "brainwashed" by Chairman Asano.
* TheSouthpaw: He pitches with his left hand.
* WorthyOpponent: Shindou considers Sugino as one, to the point of warning him of Class A's antics.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiGotou (Tanaka) and Creator/MasahitoYabe (Takada) (Japanese)

Nagisa's two former classmates, [[AllThereInTheManual Tanaka and Takada]], who are in Class 3-D. They are pathetic {{Gonk}}s who believe (like everyone else) they are superior to the students in Class E, but they are close to falling into this very class themselves.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Tanaka and Takada:
* AllThereInTheManual: Their names.
* BlatantLies: When they harass Nagisa because they didn't like how happy he seemed, they corner him. When he doesn't seem threatened or bothered by them, they threaten his life. All it takes is a non-threatening WhamLine and a DeathGlare on Nagisa's part to scare them off. Then they go and tell everyone that ''they were the ones given a death threat.''
* ButtMonkey: They never get luck in their life.
* FatBastard: Tanaka.
* {{Gonk}}: Like most other non-Class 3-E students, they are ugly.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: The hetero part is a bit doubtful; for some reason, [[http://www.mangareader.net/assassination-classroom/52/15 they are apparently closer]] [[HoYay than normal friends]].
* NerdGlasses: Takada.
* NoNameGiven: The story never reveals their names.
* OneSteveLimit:
** Class 3-A has a student with the name Tanaka.
** Their last name themselves sound very similar.
* StrawLoser:
** They are proud that are not in Class E, yet their grades are so low that they ''could'' fall into that very class, they hate. The irony, Class 3-E is already able to compete with [[spoiler:Class 3-A]].
** They watch the baseball match between the Class 3-E boys and the baseball team to feel better after their own loss against another class. After Class 3-E wins, they are pissed of and claim that the match was boring.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They appear always together and have no distinct characterization that tell them apart.

----
!!Kaho Tsuchiya

A girl from the main school. Has or tries to have at least three different boyfriends over the course of her short appearances, mainly just for the sake of having one.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Tsuchiya:

* BadLiar: Lies often, about anything and everything that may cause her embarrassment. It's always obvious when she does, but Seo at least is perfectly happy to let it slide.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Though she tries to pass herself off as merely playful, her spite for everyone who isn't useful to her is clear.
* TriangRelations: With Maehara as A, her as B and Seo as C, a type 4... Until the rest of class E decided to get involved, at which point it became nothing.
* YourCheatingHeart: Maintains multiple boyfriends at once as a matter of convenience. When two of them find out about each other, she casually dumps the more disposable one (class E's Maehara) on the spot.

----
!!Kokona Tagawa

A false friend of Megu Kataoka.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kokona:

* AllJustADream: In a dream, she visits a beautiful moonlit oasis where a bunch of mythical, fish-like creatures teach her how to swim. What she never finds out is that [[InvertedTrope it really happened]]: The oasis was actually Class-E's private mountainside pool while the creatures were really just Koro-sensei, Kataoka, Nagisa, and Kayano disguised in [[PaperThinDisguise ridiculous yet adequately convincing costumes]].
* BookDumb: She forces Kataoka to help her studies.
* {{Blackmail}}: She blames Kataoka for nearly drowning in the ocean because she "didn't teach her how to swim properly" despite it's her own fault. She forces Kataoka to help her studying because of this event.
* FanDisservice: Licking on Kataoka's arm. And Kokona's face isn't pretty at all.
* GirlishPigtails
* ManipulativeBitch
* SuperDrowningSkills: Until Kataoka teaches her how to swim properly.
* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: To Kataoka.
* TooDumbToLive: Even though Kataoka told her that she needed more swimming practice, Kokona still swam in the ocean and nearly drowned.

----
!!Kunudon
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KurumiMamiya (Japanese), Mary Morgan (English)

Kunugigaoka Academy's mascot, a cartoon sawtooth oak acorn (after which the school is named).
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kunudon:

* AscendedExtra: In the manga, Kunudon only appears in the extra pages in the volumes. In the anime he appears to explain the information from those extras.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: To the public, he's a saccharine cartoon character concerned with everyone being happy and having fun. But when he's talking about class E, he's basically a drill instructor who treats them like trash.
* BlatantLies: According to Kunudon, Kunugigaoka is a place where everyone is treated as equals, and every day is fun.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShoHayami (Japanese), Chris Rager (English)

The chairman (principal in the Viz and Funimation versions) of Kunugigaoka Junior High School.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Chairman Asano:

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: He punches his son in chapter 123, though in fairness he was in a very emotional state at the time and his son deliberately provoked him.]]
* TheAce: He's inhumanly skilled in a wide range of subjects and can teach any subject better than specialized teachers, to the point that several characters consider him a 'monster' not unlike Koro-sensei; it's made clear that he's in charge of a school only because of his devotion to education, and if he really wanted he could have become Prime Minister with ease. [[spoiler: In fact, his first students nicknamed him "Mister Perfection" because of this.]]
* AnimalMotifs: The chairman's motif is a centipede.
* ArchnemesisDad[=/=]EvilerThanThou: He treats his son pretty much how you'd expect given how he treats his students. His son responds in kind. They have a lot in common. Although it's shown in chapzer 94 that Asano Sr. is worse.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler: After Chairman Asano is basically brought back from the edge after Korosensei beats his workbook/grenade challenge, he and Asano Jr. bond by talking about how much money they're going to make by suing each other. The last thing he says to Asano Jr. is that they'll go file their complaints ''together''.]]
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler:Effortlessly destroys the four foreign students that his son had called for their physical abilities when they talk back to him.]]
* BigBad: Of the school life side of the story. Every single problem class E faces originates from him.
** NonActionBigBad: So far he hasn't shown any extraordinary physical abilities, though with his charisma and manipulation he is a significant impediment regardless. [[spoiler:In chapter 94 the four foreign exchange students find out [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the hard way]] that he's a very capable and brutal fighter too.]]
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: He lost his ultimate bet against Koro-Sensei. That said, it seems he has mellowed out even if only a little.]]
* [[spoiler: BrokenAce: Originally a kind teacher who only wanted to educate his students into becoming good people, he became convinced that strength of will was the only virtue worth teaching after one of them committed suicide as a result of bullying.]]
* DissonantSerenity: When speaking to Takaoka about why he failed to use fear to teach his class effectively, '''[[NightmareFuel there is imagery of a centipede crawling down Takaoka's throat!]]''' And Takaoka is a trained military soldier!
* TheEndJustifiesTheMeans: The Principal makes Class E the school's pariahs because it means the other students will do anything to keep their grades up and not get sent there.
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: His backstory retroactively makes him one to Koro-sensei, which is made explicit in chapter 126. He was originally an impossibly talented oddball teacher. Then when one of his first students died he became an impossibly talented oddball SadistTeacher. Basically, he's what would happen if Koro-sensei went bad.]]
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Years ago, he wore his hair straight and limp, but [[spoiler:after a student of his died and he had his FaceHeelTurn, he rearranged it into the harsh, spiky bangs that he has in the present. Note that even after his reconciliation with Koro-sensei he doesn't change it back.]]
* FallenHero: [[spoiler:In chapter 125 it is revealed that when the chairman first started teaching, he was a hyper-competent and caring educator not unlike Koro-sensei. However, after one of his students committed suicide because he could not tolerate the high school bullying inflicted upon him, the chairman began to question his own teaching methods and concluded that VirtueIsWeakness. Over time, he [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis became his own antithesis]].]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Koro-sensei contrast each other greatly. Where Koro-sensei is a monster intent on destroying the world, Chairman Asano wants to improve the world through education. Yet strangely, Koro-sensei is goofy, but kind, while Chairman Asano is strict and incredibly cruel.
* FollowInMyFootsteps: His son, Gakushuu, is basically like him. They have a... disturbing relationship, with one intent on keeping the other as a corporate slave and the other treating his father like a pet.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: He was originally a wonderful teacher who accepted that people had faults, and only wanted his students to grow into good people. However, when one of them committed suicide after being bullied too much, he realized that being good was worthless and for his students to survive, they needed to be strong.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: His brainwashing tactics come back to bite him hard during the finals. Because of his brainwashing, Class A got carried away by their bloodlust, which gave them tremendous intensity early on in the tests. But they couldn't keep it up through all the finals and ended up losing their focus later on, which led to them losing to Class E completely.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Refuses to compromise his beliefs or education method, even with the world at risk.
* HotGuysAreBastards: Pretty good looking. And a total prick.
* IdiotBall: Suffice to say. Beating down the confidence of the only people in a legitimate position to end a world ending threat that will destroy ALL LIFE on the planet within a year is a terrible idea. If they fail due to, say a lack of confidence in their own abilities thanks to a systematic destruction, then he's equally culpable for the destruction of the human race in order to preserve his ideals as a teacher which favors grades over individuals. Worse, if they succeed? Then a phenomenally rich, highest quality assassin who has the favor of every government on the planet, the assistance of several of the worlds best assassins and an overtly obvious reason to HATE the principal for making their junior highschool years a living hell, has every reason to ruin/kill him with every resource available to them and basically no one to tell them not to. Anyone with real authority knows they saved the world, right?
* InsaneTrollLogic: The Chairman of the school is more interested in preserving his system than ''keeping Koro-sensei from destroying the world.''
** It's in the genes: his son's got it, too.
* InstantExpert: Surpassed a black belt in karate in three days after losing once, because he felt that losing twice would be like dying.
* JerkAss
** JerkAssHasAPoint: His cruelty is without measure and he manipulates the students, but aside from the discrimination and sabotage the lessons he's teaching do have their points. [[spoiler:As he explains to Koro-Sensei when he allowed one student from Class 3-E to transfer out.]]
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Anything he can do to ensure that his system works will be done, from personally teaching the content of an upcoming midterm to all students except Class 3-E to hiring a SadistTeacher to make sure Class 3-E's grades drop dramatically.
** And when said SadistTeacher failed to live up to expectations [[spoiler:e.g. beaten by Nagisa]], he swiftly ejects them in order to deny the students the satisfaction of kicking him out.
** The way how he works as the baseball team's substitute coach is basically brainwashing.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: See the matching entry at the top of the page. Ironically, he is named after the person whose death by seppuku UsefulNotes/The47Ronin sought revenge over.
** Not that ironically: the guy was considered rather abrasive and quite a nasty piece of work both in contemporary sources and since. That he got judicially murdered wasn't that much of a surprise, considering the stuff he pulled. The honor doesn't lie in the 47 defending the memory of a just man, but keeping their word and allegiance beyond his death.
* NightmareFace: A metaphorical one, but he faces his son with a very creepy, alien-like looking face with very gross, strange-positioned eyes, scary teeth and even teeth on his necklace. Asano Jr.'s YouMonster reaction indeed.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:To the four foreign exchange students, who are largely built athletes, but still teenagers.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Goes forehead-to-forehead with the coach of the baseball club (pretending to check for a fever) when threatening to fire him because class E is winning the exhibition game against them.
* ThePowerOfHate: Chapter 94 reveals that he believes this is a key part of learning from defeat. The feelings of hatred and humiliation stemming from a loss is what drives the losers to do better next time.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:In chapter 123, after revealing that all of Class-E reach the top 50 and lost to Class-A, his son gave him this but this result in him punching his own son as [[SoreLoser he doesn't take it well]].]]
* SadistTeacher: It is known that he teaches classes. Even though he isn't a teacher of Class-E, he is a bastard to them.
* SharpDressedMan[=/=]BadassInANiceSuit: Very sharp. The literal angularity of his suit makes him stand out a lot. [[spoiler:Heaven help you if he [[TheCoatsAreOff loosens so much as a single button]]]].
* SignatureLaugh: Fufufu.
* TheSociopath: He has not even the slightest shred of remorse or empathy for the students whose lives he actively tries to ruin. He also has the superficial charm and manipulation ability aspects of the disorder down pat.
* SoreLoser: In the most extreme way possible. The best example is in chapter 123. [[spoiler:Class 3-A lost because they couldn't concentrate on the second half of the exam as they lost the 'bloodlust' that the chairman had whipped up on them. When his son gives Class 3-A TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, he doesn't take it and slaps him when everyone in Class 3-A approves of Class 3-E's abilities and asks him to transfer them to Class 3-E if he's not happy. This also results everyone in Class 3-A leaving him.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: Fires Takaoka for his violent way of teaching much to Class 3-E's delight.
** KillSteal: The other reason was to strip class 3-E of their victory, and to remind them that ''he'' is the one in charge.
* VillainousBreakdown: Suffers from one BIG TIME after [[spoiler: Class E defeats Class A in the second term exams. He attempts to destroy the Class E building, kill Koro-sensei and place Class E in what is essentially a prison.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's respected and liked by the students and teachers of the main building, but he's a huge JerkAss to Class 3-E, treating them in a way that is actually violating the school system of Japan. Not only he aproved Takaoka's violent punishment methods until they became ineffective, he also [[spoiler:beat the hell out of the four exchange students]] which is definitely illegal and criminal.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His system intends to ensures that 95% of the students become highly successful in their studies... by treating the other 5% like absolute garbage. Considering his sociopathy, YMMV as to whether this is actually well intentioned, or if it is simple a bid for glory.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He beat the hell of the four exchange students, who still are technically teenagers.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He fired Takaoka. His objection wasn't even with Takaoka's [[spoiler:use of violence as a teaching method.]] While he disapproved of it, the reason he stepped in was because [[spoiler:Nagisa beat Takaoka in their fight,]] which meant the class would never be afraid of Takaoka again.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:In chapter 76, he was seemingly killed by the God of Death. He was just sent in a coma and has recovered.]]

A sniper obsessed with the color red. He was one of the hitmen who were hired by the government to assassinate Koro-sensei in Kyoto. After he failed, Koro-sensei, who already noticed, thanked to him for his several attempts, because Class E could learn from it, and Red Eye finally gave up.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Red Eye:
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:He reappears for a long time in chapter 98, only to be killed by the God of Death. [[NotQuiteDead But it turns out he's alive]] in chapter 117.]]
* ButtMonkey: All of his attempts failed in hilarious way.
* CodeName: "Red Eye". His real name is unknown.

!!Smog
An assassin with an obsession for self-made poison who is hired by [[spoiler:Takaoka]] in the Assassination Island arc.

* ChekhovsGunman: He first appears as a waiter in chapter 58. Fuwa immediately recognizes him in chapter 63 [[spoiler:and as the man who poisoned the eleven classmates.]]
* CodeName: "Smog". His real name is unknown.
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler: Before giving the poison to Takaoka, he, Gastro and Grip had some discussion regarding the situation and decides that killing a whole class doesn't maintain their reputation. So, Smog didn't give Class E the lethal poison Takaoka had gleefully ordered him to use, and instead used one that did no permanent damage and only lasted a few hours just to convince Takaoka that it's the real one. Had he giving the real poison the students would be in deep trouble after Takaoka has no intention of giving the antidote away.]]
* EvilGenius: The guy who relies on poison.
* FatBastard: [[spoiler:Not a bastard enough to use deadly poison against children. His poison gas, which he uses against Karasuma, is not deadly either.]]
* {{Gonk}}
* PoisonousPerson: He uses poison gas and other poisons.
* PunchClockVillain[=/=]HitmanWithAHeart: He, Gastro and Grip held none of [[spoiler:Takaoka's]] sadism after all.

----
!!Grip
An assassin hired by [[spoiler:Takaoka]] in the Assassination Island arc.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Grip:

* BloodKnight: He wants to test his enourmous strength in battles. In the world of assassination, it's almost impossible to have a real battle.
* TheBrute: The guy with superhuman strength, but he's also a CombatPragmatist.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His hands can crush skulls and glass walls with ease.
* CodeName: "Grip". His real name is unknown.
* CombatPragmatist: He still uses poison and knives, since he's a professional assassin.
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler: Before giving the poison to Takaoka, he, Gastro and Smog had some discussion regarding the situation and decides that killing a whole class doesn't maintain their reputation. So, Grip never used his assassination skills to assassinate the class and fought them directly.]]
* FunnyForeigner: His VerbalTic and the reason for it makes him rather eccentric.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His forte. He mentions that this skill as an primary assassination weapon gives assassins like him an advantage on missions that require infiltration (As he will never get caught during a body search). [[CombatPragmatist Doesn't stop him from using any weapons when time is needed to win]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Took his loss to Karma surprisingly well since even he admit his lose due to Karma forcefully uses horseradish and wasabi sauce into his nose.]]
* PunchClockVillain[=/=]HitmanWithAHeart: He, Gastro and Grip held none of [[spoiler:Takaoka's]] sadism.
* VerbalTic: He ends most of his sentences with "-nu" to give them a Samurai's tone, because he thinks it would be cool.

!!Gastro
A mercenary from a military who has an obsession of "eating"/licking/tasting guns, hired by [[spoiler:Takaoka]] in the Assassination Island arc.
----

* AnimeHair
* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: This guy has a gun in his mouth for almost the entire time. He claims that he won't shoot himself, though.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Say what you want about the OralFixation with his gun; at the end of the day, it took the whole 15 student-team, meticulously coordinated by Koro-Sensei, to bring him down.
* CodeName: "Gastro". His real name is unknown.
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler:Takaoka]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler: Before giving the poison to Takaoka, as the leader of the three pro assassins, he, Smog, and Grip had some discussion regarding the situation and decides that killing a whole class doesn't maintain their reputation. He actually calls it right when Takaoka reveals to him that he has no intention of giving the antidote to the students. So, he never fought Class-E with his full strength, though, he was still dangerous enough to be a serious threat.]]
* FishEyes: His eyes usually face away from each other. They probably enhance his shooting skills.
* TheGunslinger: He has several guns.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Can fire a bullet between the space between the seats of a concert hall with ease. He's also very skilled at making headshots.
* OralFixation: With guns!
* PunchClockVillain[=/=]HitmanWithAHeart: He, Smog and Grip held none of [[spoiler:Takaoka's]] sadism.
* SuperSenses: He has very good ears, as he is able to find out the number of students (+ Karasuma) and how roughly old they are by just hearing their breaths. He is also able to hear out the stolen guns they use, and considering his ImprobableAimingSkills, he must have good eyes, too.
* WouldHurtAChild: Aimed for the kill during his battle with Class 3-E. [[spoiler: Sugaya's decoy saved Chiba from receiving a bullet between his eyes]].

----
!!God of Death/Shinigami
Said to be the best assassin in the world. Enigmatic to the point where even other assassins know little about him. He remains a mythic figure for much of the manga, but eventually starts targeting other hitmen with the intention of working his way up to Class E and Korosensei.
----
!!!Tropes associated with the God of Death:
* TheAce: He's the undisputed master of every possible skill relating to assassination, including several that most assassins don't even consider.
* AchillesHeel: Hilariously, it's his [[spoiler:testicals]].
* ArcVillain: From chapter 98 to 110.
* BadassLongCoat: Fitting to someone called God of Death, since he doesn't wear a robe.
* BloodKnight: He's overjoyed that the students managed to oppose him.
* CatchPhrase: "Do not fear (...).".
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The best hitman in the world for sure, but this guy's abilities definitely push the limit of what is humanly possible. At one point he [[spoiler: gives Okajima an uppercut that bounces the poor guy off the ceiling and rebounding him back down to the floor...''hard''. Later, he's able to shoot Koro-sensei's tentacles with pinpoint accuracy and GunsAkimbo reasoning that Koro-sensei can't reach his full Mach-20 speed right off the bat. However, Koro-sensei's starting speed is still somewhere around ''600 kph''. At one point, he even scored a headshot on a guy riding on a Shinkansen train...while he was ''on another train heading the opposite direction.'']]
* CodeName: "God of Death". His real name is unknown.
* CurbStompBattle: Justified. He's the world best assassin. Assassins do not fight. They kill their targets very quickly.
* DissonantSerenity: In the same vein as Nagisa, but to an even higher degree. [[spoiler:Even while he's threatening to kill the class and Bitch-sensei, the class can't help but to feel perfectly at ease]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: His statement before killing [[spoiler:Lovro]] seems to indicate that he did it merely because [[spoiler:Lovro]] ''talked about him as someone to be feared''.
--> "''From the moment you are born I am by your side, always. Do not put fear in the name, "God of Death".''"
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Fitting to his title, he suddenly appears out of nowhere and kills [[spoiler:Lovro]]. And it's not shown how he kills him (or who hired him), but his victim is definitively dead ([[spoiler:no, he's not]]).
* EvilCounterpart: He has many of the same abilities that Nagisa does. He can hide his killing intent and appear completely harmless, and even [[spoiler:uses the same clapping move when they encounter each other]].
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[spoiler: Hanya from RurouniKenshin, given how the God of Death uses the same trick of cutting off and deforming his own face in order to be more effective at disguise.]]
* FacialHorror: Whenever his killing intent leaks through, his face is depicted as either a skull or something horribly mutated.
** And when you thought you've seen his real, normal face, you're in for a surprise.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts nice, but his intentions are anything than that.
* FingerGun: Does this when he kills [[spoiler:Lovro]].
** FingerFirearms: [[spoiler:What it actually is. While normally such low caliber has low lethality, his ImprobableAimingSkills more than makes up for it.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Subverted. He claimed to share a similar tragic backstory with Irina to manipulate her, but later admits that he grew up in a rich family without any wants. He's an assassin because he ''wants'' to be.
* TheGrimReaper: Usually possesses this symbolism, especially in chapter 98.
* GroinAttack: [[spoiler:Karasuma finds an opening for a second and punches his groin. Then he finishes him off]].
* HeroKiller: Since his second appearence, he has killed secondary characters.
* KnightOfCerebus: Despite the manga is a series about assassination, there are no deaths. Until he appears.
* LivingShadow: What he ''appears'' to be.
* MasterOfDisguise: His actual appearance is very plain. Couple that with his enigmatic reputation and talent at hiding his true nature, and he's able to effortlessly infiltrate just about anywhere. [[spoiler:Except that his actual appearance is a disguise as well. The reason he is a MasterOfDisguise is because he ripped of his own skin from his face.]]
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:He subverted Irina's loyalty so that she turned against the kids and Karasuma-sensei.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: If you are not from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', then someone called God of Death is not the most trustworthy person.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:He nearly succeeds to kill the entire 3-E class and their three teachers if both, Koro-sensei and Karasuma wouldn't be so unhuman and unpredictable.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:His real face is close enough to a SkullForAHead.]]
* NightmareFetishist: The entire reason he's a hitman. When he was a child, he saw his (abusive) father killed by a hitman. The movements of the hitman were so beautiful that he decided then and there to become one too.
* OralFixation: With a chocolate bar.
* SerialKillerKiller: He has been targeting assassins so far.
* ShroudedInMyth: No one knows who he is, or even what he looks like, and yet he's the undisputed number one in assassination according to Lovro.
* SinisterScythe: Red Eye describes his weapon as an "invisible scythe". It's unclear how metaphorical this is.
** [[spoiler:[[FingerFirearms It's a gun hidden in his index finger.]]]]
* SlasherSmile: Fitting for the God of Death.
* SweetTooth: He eats a chocolate bar when he apparently observe Class 3-E (or [[spoiler:Lovro]] and later while killing [[spoiler:Lovro]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: During some of his appearances, he's eating a chocolate bar.
* WorldsBestWarrior: Well, best assassin.
* WouldHurtAChild: At first, he is only trying to harm [[spoiler:Class 3-E]] a little bit in case of taking them hostage. But when [[spoiler:they excite him too much]], it gets worse. [[spoiler:He also tries to drown them to kill Koro-sensei in a cage.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He takes hostage of Bitch-sensei, and later he breaks Kayano some ribs after knocking out Yoshida, Muramatsu and Kimura (the cracking sound is actually just the armor). Later, he tries to kill Irina while she's still on his side, so he can get rid of Karasuma.]]
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: He's depicted as this in-panel; his bottomless killing intent combined with his skill at masking it confuses and disorients their targets, because it's impossible to see his true nature. As a result, once he reveals his true colors, he's depicted as either a monstrous conglomeration of predatory plants and insects or a LivingShadow. [[spoiler: That said, a combatant of equal skill could see [[NightmareFace his true form.]]]]

[[folder: Others]]

!!Shiro
->'''Voiced by:''' Ryota Takeuchi

A mysterious man in a white robe and a hood. He is Itona's guardian, handler and home tutor and acts as his father. He knows a lot of Koro-sensei's weaknesses.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Shiro:

* HumanoidAbomination: Whatever he is, he can ''not'' be a human. He might actually be a BlobMonster, judging from his 'melting' robes.
* BadassLongRobe: His robe is made of Anti-Sensei materials.
* BatmanGambit: He knows how Koro-sensei would act and he calculates Koro-sensei's personality to prepare Itona's battles against him.
* BrainsAndBrawn: He makes the plan and preparations for Itona's battles. [[spoiler: He is most likely planned out another assassination attempt. This time, Kayano is the brawn.]]
* ColorfulThemeNaming: His real name is unknown, but because he wears only white clothes, he calls himself Shiro, which means "white" in Japanese.
* TheCorrupter: He took advantage of Itona's dire cirscumstances and weak state of mind to turn him into his personal {{Tykebomb}} in his vendetta against Koro-sensei, [[spoiler:and as revealed by chapter 88, he intends to do the same to Nagisa.]]
* CrazyPrepared: He knows a lot of Koro-sensei's weaknesses, and he puts a lot of efforts and preparation for Itona's battles against him.
** [[spoiler: From the events that happened in chapter 128, it is possible that Kayano is the "weapon" he prepared, which was foreshadowed in chapter 88.]]
* EvilGenius: The reason, why Itona's battles against Koro-sensei are so difficult is because of Shiro's calculations.
* FatalFlaw: Two times out of three, his plans directly fail because he forgot to take class E into account. Of course, they would probably have failed regardless.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Because we see never his face under his hood.
* InTheHood: His face is not shown, yet.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Chapter 84 reveals that he has a personal hatred for Koro-sensei. He doesn't want just to kill him, he wants to see Koro-sensei suffer as much as possible at the same time.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He is completely clad in white, that's why he calls himself Shiro. Well, technically, he tries to save the world, but he has an antagonistic role and his methods are extreme.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates Terasaka to help him and Itona against Koro-sensei. [[spoiler:And he lies to Terasaka about the real plan to guarantee that he would help them.]]
* NotSoStoic: He has a few comedic moments and he has a bit sense of humor.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Shiro abandons Itona in the end of chapter 84, after the latter failed the third time to kill Koro-sensei.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His methods to kill Koro-sensei would harm [[spoiler:Class-E]] if needed.

----
!!Akira Takaoka
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese)

A member of Ministry's Special Services Division assigned to push the training of Class 3-E and replace Karasuma as their P.E. teacher. He introduces himself as a easygoing father-like figure, but it quickly becomes apparent that he's actually a sadistic drill sergeant who has no problems with subjecting children to violent and unreasonable training regimens for his own benefit.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Takaoka:

* ArcVillain: In his introduction arc [[spoiler:and in the Assassination Island arc.]]
* AxCrazy: This guy really enjoys beating his disciples into bloody pulps, regardless of their age. [[spoiler:Not to mention poisoning Class 3-E and destroying the antidote.]]
* BatmanGambit: To prove that he's a [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure reasonable]] [[BlatantLies authority figure]], Takaoka promises to leave if a student can land a single knife-hit on him in a one-on-one match. The catch? He expects none of them to be mentally prepared to use a deadly weapon against an actual human, so he demands that the challenger fights using a sharpened combat knife. The hesitation of using the knife, on top of the fact that no student is even skilled enough to hit him with an anti-sensei knife, will turn the match into a sure-win situation for himself. [[spoiler: This is why Takaoka is completely thrown off guard when Nagisa, one of the physically weakest students of the class, decides not to put up a "traditional" fight and instead smiles as he casually walks over to him. Then he aims straight for his neck ''without any hesitation whatsoever''. Takaoka doesn't take it well once the students celebrate Nagisa's win]].
* BigEater: He claimed that it was the reason he's a bit rounder than others.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's so quick to listen to your problems and to sympathise... a little too quick.
* BigFun: He portrays himself as this with self-depreciating humour, a sunny disposition, a happy smile and a generally [[CoolUncle avuncular]] approach to things (with a bag of goodies)...
** FatBastard: Although, this is what he's hiding as his true self. Somewhat subverted in his second appearance, as he's lost a lot of weight and looks much more trim. Yet, he's a hundred times the bastard he was before, not to mention quite a bit more... unhinged.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Guess who is the boss that poisoned most of Class E on the island?]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Basically tried to [[spoiler: kill off every student in Class 3-E with accelerated cancer because an 'unassuming and weak' middle school student [[HoistByHisOwnPetard beat him at his own game (especially he rigged the match to his advantage)]] and the co-workers teasing and laughing at him due to his HumiliationConga]].
* DissonantSerenity: Takaoka's always grinning and sticking out his tongue, whether he's handing out pastries, revealing his ridiculous training schedule, or violently attacking contrary students.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Has a "9-sticks-to-one-carrot" philosophy, is more like a dictator than an officer, and "accidentally" leaves a picture of the soldiers he's tortured in front of Karasuma. ''And he's always smiling''.
* TheEndJustifiesTheMeans: Takaoka's extremely harsh (if not downright impossible) training schedule will be worth it if just one student survives (taken he doesn't care less of the students lives even going as far as sacrificing one student to make everyone follow his orders) and succeeds in killing Koro-sensei because ''Takaoka'' will become famous for training the assassin and then [[TheRival Karasuma]] will finally acknowledge his superiority!
* EvilIsBigger: He's very big.
* EvilIsPetty: His main reason for taking over Class E's physical instruction and brutalizing them...he's jealous that Karasuma has always been better than him and wants to get promoted over Karasume. For that reason, he's willing to use any methods to raise the Class E students into elite soldiers...even if it means killing most of them along the way.
* ExpositoryHairStyleChange: [[spoiler:After losing to Nagisa and being fired by the chairman]], he either uses hair gel or his hair is just messy.
* AFatherToHisMen: He even said that the student would be like his own children, just like his previous trainees. Yeah, as if! He would make your life a living hell if you didn't listen to your "father".
* TheFaceless[=/=]FaceFramedInShadow: At the time [[spoiler:before he was revealed to be the BigBad of the Assassination Island arc]], his face was never shown. Because it would be a spoiler.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He pretends to be a nice "father" to his disciples, but soon he reveals that he's a crazy bastard.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Everything about his [[spoiler:duel with Nagisa, from the disarming smile, the knife that almost killed him, and the resulting humiliation aftermatch]] drove him vengeful and psychotic. [[spoiler: After Nagisa wins their second duel, he shows Takaoka the same smile before zapping him unconscious]]. It's very likely that this wiped away whatever was left of his sanity.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler:He scratches his skin ''a lot'' after losing to Nagisa, after he overheard his colleges mocking him of his defeat after he returns to HQ]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He's was incredibly jealous of Karasuma-sensei, as Karasuma was the most talented member of their unit in the JSDF and quickly rose above him. He hopes that if he turns Class-E into the heroes (even means of killing the students) who will defeat Koro-Sensei, then he'll also become a hero, and finally be able to order Karasuma around.
* KnightOfCerebus: When he shows his true nature, the story shifts from a fun, uplifting comedy into the darker, more serious themes of assassination. [[spoiler: This goes double for his involvement during Class 3-E's island vacation]].
* NotSoStoic: Takaoka's DissonantSerenity is shattered in chapter 41 courtesy of [[spoiler:Nagisa]]. His grinning gives way to shock, then mind-numbing fear, and finally frothing rage.
* ObviouslyEvil: When he's introduced, there are some hints that he's not as nice as he appears.
* OhCrap: During his second defeat when he realizes that [[spoiler:Nagisa]] is going to smile at her .
* OneSteveLimit: With Kataoka.
* TheRival: Takaoka was this to Karasuma in training.
** UnknownRival: It seems that Karasuma wasn't aware of it.
* SadistTeacher: He's more akin to a drill sergeant than a teacher, instituting a ''ten period'' class schedule, most of which consists entirely of training, and isn't above smacking any disagreeable student ([[WouldHitAGirl girls included]]) around.
* SoreLoser: He doesn't take his defeat by [[spoiler:Nagisa well. He's convinced that Nagisa cheated during their first duel by using an "unskillful, cowardly sneak attack"]], demands a rematch to kill him and refuse to listen to Nagisa's refusal and attacks him. [[spoiler: [[TheBusCameBack Twice]]. Both attempts fail spectacularly]].
* WouldHurtAChild: He uses violence against his students/disciples to suppress them. He knees Maehara in the stomach when he complains about their new training schedule and planned to beat the crap out of Nagisa to subdue the students once and for all. [[spoiler:After his loss against Nagisa, he returns to poison the students with a deadly virus ''and'' destroys the antidote to make sure that they die slowly and painfully leaving only Nagisa alive to see his friends dies even after Nagisa apologize to him. He also tries to ''kill'' Nagisa himself when they finally confront him]].
** WouldHitAGirl: His violence isn't restricted to the boys. He fiercely slapped Kanzaki when she defied him, almost knocked-out Kurahashi (Karasuma stopped him at the last second), and later [[spoiler:wanted to burry Kayano with Koro-sensei in cement and Anti-Sensei material]].
* WalkingSpoiler: He was first introduced as a NiceGuy, even though it was early implied that he's not as nice as he acts. Also, he [[spoiler: returns as the mastermind of the Hotel Arc]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: No matter how horrible, his actions are all ultimately to save the world from destruction at the hands of Koro-Sensei. [[spoiler:Later subverted when that simply becomes his excuse to take revenge on the class.]]

----
!!Hiromi Shiota

Nagisa's overbearing, controlling mother. She first appears in Chapter 112, where she has been shown to have been trying to completely control Nagisa's life by making every meaningful decision for him and refusing to accept any disagreements on his part.
----
!!!Tropes Associated with Hiromi
* AbusiveMom: She's ''seriously'' unwell and gives poor Nagisa problems at home. [[spoiler: She got better later.]]
* ControlFreak
* HairTriggerTemper: She's all smiles until Nagisa (or Koro-sensei) try to disagree for her, at which point she devolves into a screaming harpy.
* MeddlingParents: She's the Agent at first, trying to meet with Koro-sensei and later intending to meet with the Chairman in order to negotiate Nagisa's return to the main school. However, she moves up to the Blackhawk when [[spoiler: she tries to force Nagisa to burn down the Class E building in order to leave him with no other choice but to try and return to the main school.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: She asserts her control over Nagisa at every opportunity, trying to make every major decision for him in an attempt to guide him through the life path she wanted for herself. She refuses to allow him to have any say and even goes so far as to assert that, as the one who birthed and raised him, she owns him.
* NewGamePlus: This is the exact metaphor for how Nagisa describes their relationship. Hiromi intends to control Nagisa's decisions so that he can follow the path through life that she had wanted for herself, but was unable to follow through with, without any regard for Nagisa's feelings on the matter.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Hiromi wanted a daughter, but Nagisa is a boy. She copes by forbidding him to cut his hair and forcing him to dress up like a girl whenever he's home.

!!Aguri Yukimura
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyakoKawasumi (Japanese), Ashleigh Domangue (English)

Class E's former teacher [[spoiler:and the woman seen in Koro-sensei's flashbacks. She's also Kayano/Akari's older sister.]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:She died in Koro-sensei's arms.]]
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:In her final moments, she asked Koro-sensei to teach Class E in her place.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:She died before the beginning of the series, presumably at Koro-sensei's hands.]]

The students of
[[index]]
* [[Characters/AssassinationClassroomClass3E
Kunugigaoka Junior High School's School: Teachers and Students of Class 3-E are the protagonists of the story. Infamous for containing the third-year students with the lowest grades, Class 3-E was designed to give the rest of the school (students and faculty included) a target for intense discrimination and thus a motive to keep their grades up. To add insult to injury, Class 3-E's students are banned from entering the main campus; their classroom is located in a worn-out hovel on a mountaintop about a kilometer away. This isolation is the ideal place for the top-secret assassination of an alien-like teacher who is threatening to destroy the world.

Despite being part of the class comprised of the school's "worst", each student has a characteristic which defines him/her and becomes his/her weapon. As the series progresses, they become better in assassination, P.E. ''and'' studying.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Class 3-E:

3-E]]
* AllMenArePerverts: While Okajima is the most blatant example, most of the other boys are not really better. In chapter 88, they start an operation to create the perfect camera-equipped mini-tank (which was originally meant to kill Koro-sensei) to peek under the girls' skirts. [[SeriousBusiness And all of these guys keep totally serious faces and a professional manner]].
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: As a byproduct of a school system that keeps their class in the lowest 5% in order to raise up the other 95% of the school. Of course, this only applies to their grades and popularity, [[BullyingADragon not their ability to kill]].
* AssassinsAreAlwaysBetrayed: The fact that nobody got hurt when [[spoiler:Shiro blew up a pool that most of Class-E was swimming in]] required a good deal of luck. The intention may not have been to hurt them, but it was clearly negligent of their safety.
* BadAss: All the teachers and students when comparing to normal people.
** BadassCrew[=/=]TrueCompanions: It took awhile but the whole class makes up a BadassCrew now. They really care about each other and get along well. If you mess with one of them, the whole class and their teacher(s) will aim for you. Such moments include ganging up against two students for messing with Maehara, and [[spoiler:working together to defeat Class A in the pole match, in order to stop Asano from telling the school that Isogai has been breaking the school rules by having a part-time job.]]
** BadassBookworm: While the whole premise behind the creation of Class-E may imply that the students in it are BookDumb, it's revealed that the students are pretty good at studying, but they're simply not ''good enough'' to achieve the grades that would keep them out of 3E. In the Final Exam arc, [[spoiler:they managed to beat Class-A in number of top spots for individual subjects secured. Together with Class A, they completely monopolized the Top 50.]]
* BerserkButton: When Bitch-sensei calls Class-E the "Misfits of the school" and tells them that studying would be meaningless, she gets pelted with school supplies by the whole class.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Invoked. The students occasionally mention wanting to "tsukkomi" in response to whatever ludicrous situation they've just been presented with.
* BookDumb: It's not that they're dumb or bad at school, they just happened to be the 5% of students who have the lowest grades in an extremely competitive, highly-ranked school, while the other 95% are extremely motivated not to become like them. The other students treat them as dumb people.
** EverybodyHatesMath: Math is the most common weak subject in the class, with eight people listing it as their weak point. There are also other weak subjects. Six people are bad in Japanese, four people in Science, four people in English, three people in social studies, and one person is bad in multiple subjects [[ShoutOut like]] ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''[[note]]The ''Naruto'' person is counted by his own and is not included with the students who are bad in only one particular subject[[/note]]. [[{{Pun}} Doing the math]], one particular student lacks any weak subject, presumably Ritsu, being an AI.
* CharacterTitle: The whole class is part of the Assassination Classroom.
* ChildSoldiers: A variation, in that they're training to be assassins rather than traditional soldiers. Their teachers are trying to ensure they can have a normal life in addition to their training.
* CodeName: Chapter 89 deals with all students having to refer to each other by [[EmbarrassingNickname embarrassing code names]] for the entire day.
** Sugino is "Baseball Freak".
** Sugaya is "[[ArtAttacker Artsy Bean Pole]]".
** Isogai is "[[SocialClimber Poor]] Commitee Member".
** Hayami is "{{Tsundere}} [[ColdSniper Sniper]]".
** Maehara is "[[TheCasanova Womanizing Bastard Guy]]".
** Mimura is "Mushroom Director".
** Kurahashi is "Flouncy [[NatureLover Stagbeetle]]".
** Yoshida is "Home Base".
** Muramatsu is "[[RealMenCanCook Loofah]]".
** [[spoiler:Itona]] is "[[GadgeteerGenius Rolling Riser]]".
** Terasaka is "Pseudo-Takaoka".
** Okuda is "[[MasterPoisoner Poison]] [[{{Meganekko}} Glasses]]".
** Kayano is "[[ACupAngst Forever 0]]".
** Kataoka is "Stern Lecture".
** Nakamura is "Gal English".
** Nagisa is "[[DudeLooksLikeALady Gender]]".
** Okamura is "[[AllMenArePerverts End of Perversion]]".
** Fuwa is "[[{{Otaku}} This Manga is Awesome!!]]".
** Karma is "Half of Middle 2".
** Chiba is "[[BlindingBangs Adult Game Protagonist]]".
** Kimura is "Justice". [[spoiler:This actually ''is'' his real name.]]
** Yada is "Ponytail and [[BuxomIsBetter Breasts]]".
** Okano is "[[SheFu Amazing Monkey]]".
** Karasuma-sensei is "[[SternTeacher Straight Lace]]".
** Koro-sensei names himself "The Imperial Prince of the Eternal Wind". Of course, since it is the only AwesomeMcCoolname, the outraged class decide to call him "Stupid Pervert Chicken Octopus" for the entire day instead.
* DamselInDistress[=/=]DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Happens to the class in the middle of the God of Death arc]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: Due to the series's LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters issue and the fact that Nagisa, Kayano and Karma tend to get the most focus, the majority of the students don't stand out that much. Though individual students do get [[ADayInTheLimelight focus chapters]] every now and then.
* DemotedToExtra:
** Happens a lot during the Assassination Island arc. First ten students get [[spoiler:poisoned]] and two of the remaining students stay behind to tend to them, leaving a total of 15 students for the infiltration of the Fukuma Palace Hotel. Koro-sensei suffers from DeusExitMachina, sidelining from most of the action. Once inside the hotel, Bitch-sensei splits off from the group to distract the reception guards, and Karasuma-sensei is demoted to being TheLoad due being exposed to an assassin's knockout gas.
*** The ten sick students are Okajima, Mimura, Maehara, Sugino, Hazama, Kurahashi, Nakamura, Hara, Kanzaki and Muramatsu. The two nurse students who stay with them are Okuda and Takebayashi. That means the 15 attack students are Nagisa, Karma, Kayano, Chiba, Hayami, Terasaka, Yoshida, Sugaya, Fuwa, Isogai, Kataoka, Okano, Yada, Kimura and Ritsu.
** The class gets demoted to extra in the middle of the God of Death arc since they are [[spoiler:in distress there]].
* DownplayedTrope: Generally speaking, the students of class E tend to have more subtle characterization that most shounen leads, possessing a few unique traits that stand out strongly. This doesn't mean that their characters are simplistic. Like real people, they merely exhibit various tropes in a way that is weaker than normal in fiction.
* FantasticallyIndifferent: After you've been drafted to assassinate a mach 20-moving, super-teaching eldritch smiley, your surprise may become somewhat miscalibrated. For example, after seeing someone casually walk straight through a wall, you may think "[[ThereWasADoor Use the damn door!]]" instead of "How did he do that!?"
** Well, in this case, they ''expected'' an eccentric transfer student after they heard what Ritsu, the other "eccentric" transfer student, told them.
* InformedFlaw: Class-E is supposedly composed of the high school's worst students, but plenty of them seem reasonably intelligent.
** In later chapters, it's revealed that they're the lower 5% of a school that is one of the most prestigious in the country. Their Class-E status is due to them being smart enough pass, but not enough to excel. Moreover, it's shown that some of the students are extremely skilled in some subjects, but very weak in others (Okuda is very skilled in both math and science, but has failing grades in Japanese).
** Then, there are students like Karma and Isogai, who were placed in Class-E as a disciplinary action. And it's revealed that at least three students (Kataoka, Hayami and Chiba) were victims of TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity, which caused their grades to dramatically slip.
** On top of that, later chapters show that the teaching methods used by the instructors in the main building are geared towards students who are able to learn via memorization and note-taking, while ignoring any other of the veritable cornucopia of learning styles that exist. Koro-sensei, who is willing to tailor his teaching methods to capitalize on various students' strengths, weaknesses, and interests, gets far better results (being able to do everything at Mach 20 tends to help).
* LastNameBasis: Everyone is called by their last names, with the exception of Nagisa, Karma, Ritsu and Itona.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: At the beginning of the series, we have 26 students and their homeroom teacher. Later on, two new teachers and two new transfer students join them. Because of this, it's really hard to focus on one of them for a period of time, and even some of the characters like Karma who gets more screentime than others don't appear frequently.
* MuggingTheMonster:
** Whenever one of the regular students try to bully someone from Class E it never ends well for them. They're lucky if they only end up fleeing in fear for their lives.
** Not just fellow students at the school. Do not try picking on the seemingly "weak" tourists simply because you're bored delinquents out to have a bit of fun.
* MundaneUtility: Their assassination skills are very useful in the matsuri games.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous[=/=]ShoutOutThemeNaming: Most of the students are named after the titular [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_ronin Forty-seven Ronin]]. However, many of the characters have altered names, either in how they are read or what kanji are used to write them. This may be a further reference to the oldest fictional versions of the story, which were written in a time when plays depicting current events were censored. To avoid that, the plays based on the story used different names and a different time period.
* NightmareFace: Sometimes, the students mimic Koro-sensei's regular face whenever he and they have a "sinister" plan.
* {{Ninja}}: Thanks to their training, they possess ninja-like sneaking techniques like "Nanba" and can climb up sheer cliffs with ease.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Many characters had the kanji for their names released without the correct reading specified for a long while. As of the fifth volume all readings are confirmed, but some websites still list them by the translator's early guesses.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The students come to this decision after [[spoiler:Itona almost kills Koro-sensei]], as they feel it's not "right" for a stranger to be allowed to kill their teacher.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* ShipperOnDeck: ''Everyone in the class'' for Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei.
* ShipTease: Some of the interactions between the students can be seen as this. This becomes more clear with [[ShipperOnDeck Koro-sensei's "Couple Setup" plan]], who pairs them (and the other teachers) in boy-girl groups in a test of courage, based on their interactions. Theknown pseudo couples are:
** Nagisa/Kayano: They interact with each other the most and Kayano is implied to have feelings for him.
** Karma/Okuda: Karma has openly stated that he is attracted to her, mostly because of her talents in making medicines, poisons and other chemical concoctions.
** Sugino/Kanzaki: It is known that Sugino has a crush on Kanzaki though his plans to impress her tend to fail.
** Chiba/Hayami: They are the best marksmen and appear together most of the time, especially in the Assassination Island arc. They also celebrate their victory against Gastro by crossing their arms together.
** Sugaya/Nakamura: It is not known why Koro-sensei paired them.
** Maehara/Okano: Okano gives him her towel when he was dumped by Tsuchiya and kicked by Seo. [[spoiler:Also very strongly hinted at in a series of SCRAP puzzles released in volumes 5-8.]]
** Okajima/Kurahashi: Also unknown, but both have ADayInTheLimelight in the same chapter.
** The delinquent group of [[ThreesomeSubtext Terasaka, Muramatsu and Hazama]].
** Karasuma-sensei/Bitch-sensei: The only adults besides Koro-sensei. Notable for having to largest amount of ''actual'' subtext between them. This becomes so obvious, that the [[ShipperOnDeck whole class starts to make a plan to help Bitch-sensei confess]].
* SlobsVersusSnobs: The slobs to Class 3-A's snobs.
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** Nagisa, Kayano and Karma are the students who get more panels/screentime and appear in promotional materials much more often than their classmates -- the three are occasionally accompanied by Sugino and Okuda. However, Nagisa and especially Kayano don't stand out that much when someone else gets the focus, and Karma disappears from time to time. The author gives every student ADayInTheLimelight, but at least one of the three will appear in a prominent way.
** Both, Karasuma and Irina, become this in the middle of the God of Death arc.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Anyone who isn't Korosensei is off-limits to them, and they don't seem to mind.
* TookALevelInBadass: As a result of the assassination training they have to undergo, ''all'' the students have taken ''some'' levels in badass. And they won't stop.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: They are tasked with the mission to kill their own teacher and instead of displaying fear or hesitance, they show a great enthusiasm in planning how to kill him. Even more disturbing in that even after they've bonded with said teacher and developed affection for him, it didn't slow them down a bit. Granted, the fact that their target is not human may be a factor in this behavior, but still, as Karasuma had said, this is not normal:
-->''"A group of junior high students are joyfully discussing an assassination. If you look at it normally, this is the pinnacle of madness."''
* UnconventionalLearningExperience: Invoked by Koro-sensei. His wish is for the assassination to give the students an opportunity to apply their knowledge, so they study things they otherwise wouldn't and learn the material better.

->''"Let's have an assassination that will make people smile and puff out their chests with pride. Each and every one of you can do that. You are talented assassins with hidden strength. That is advice from your sensei, as a target."''

The homeroom teacher for class 3-E of
[[Characters/AssassinationClassroomMainBuilding Kunugigaoka Junior High School, School: Faculty and the main {{antihero}} of Assassination Classroom. He is responsible for carving out a large chunk Students of the moon to make it a permanent crescent moon, and plans to destroy the earth after teaching class 3-E for a year.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Koro-sensei:

Main Building]]
* AffablyEvil: For a man (for a given value of "man") who wants to destroy the world, Koro-sensei doesn't act like it.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: In chapter 95, [[spoiler:he slaps the entire class after the students injured an old man when they were running and jumping from roof to roof. Karasuma does not report his action and pretends that nothing happened]].
* {{Badass}}: Pretty much the most badass character in the series.
** BadassTeacher: An extremely competent and overprotective teacher, who uses his inhuman abilities to teach and protect them. As noted under BerserkButton, trying to harm his students is an unwise move.
** SubmissiveBadass: Played for laughs. One of his weaknesses is that he is subservient to his superiors, and whenever Karasuma orders him to go away, he meekly and mopingly obeys.
* BashBrothers: Together with Karasuma-sensei in the tag game.
--> "The strongest creature and the strongest human. [[ItMakesSenseInContext They're coming to attack us to give us more homework]]!!"
* BerserkButton: Try and harm his students at your own risk.
* BigEater: combined with SweetTooth. Or anything junk-foody.
* BigGood[=/=]BigBad: Is the former to the students of Class 3-E. To everyone else (including the students), he's the latter.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Yes. Well, ish. He's born on Earth, he just doesn't look like it. From his [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-changing face]] to his [[SwissArmyAppendage multi-purpose tentacles]], with more quirks being revealed over time.
* BlitheSpirit: For a creature who intends to destroy the world, Koro-sensei is an expert in making people change their ways for the better. Karma, Irina and "Red Eye" are all examples of this charisma and wisdom Koro-sensei possesses, along with his interactions with all of Class-E.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Moon-killing, manga-drawing, supersonic, perverted, but really good teacher, anybody?
* TheChessmaster: He's an extremely skilled strategist. For example, the tag game ''Robbers and Cops'' which he plays together with the class and Karasuma-sensei. He and Karasuma-sensei are the cops and have to tag the class within an hour, but Koro-sensei has the given handicap to be in "jail" until the last minute. The students underestimate Karasuma-sensei's extreme skills, and they realize that Koro-sensei's handicap is even his advantage, since nobody can tag out the "arrested" students as long he's in the "jail". Except that Koro-sensei is someone very easily to trick.
** Except, even then things are still going according to his plan as he's providing helpful advice to the students on how to better evade Karasuma when they get out, which implies that he might have been falling for their tricks intentionally in order to give them more opportunities to gain experience and put his advice into action.
* ChivalrousPervert: He doesn't hide the fact that he loves women with big boobs, but he also defends Irina from a group of perverts who were harassing her and is an all around good person--aside from that destroying the world issue.
* ClarkKenting: When he wants to go out in public, he sticks a fake nose on his face and puts on a wig. Amazingly, it works.
* ColorCodedEmotions: Physically so. Since Koro-sensei is almost always smiling, his emotions are read by his face's coloration and color pattern.
** Yellow[=/=]Green: Normal
** Yellow with blushing cheeks: Very happy (Usually, but not always, due to breasts)
** Green and yellow stripes: Mocking contempt
** Dark purple with X shape: Wrong answer face
** Orange with circle shape: Correct answer face (Two circles for perfect scores)
** Light blue: Sadness
** Dark blue: Shock[=/=]fear
** Red-orange: Angry
** Pitch black: Extremely angry
** Pink: Drowsy/relaxed
** White: Poker face[=/=]bewildered
* CombatTentacles: Comes with being octopoidally-shaped.
* CrazyPrepared: Dear Lord, but is he? The [[{{Doorstopper}} guidebooks]] he produces are just one (big) example.
* DefaceOfTheMoon: Blew most of it up prior to the story's beginning.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: He isn't allowed to injure any of the students or staff, according to the agreement he made to be allowed to teach class 3-E. Never mind the human students, even [[spoiler: Itona]] wouldn't stand a chance against him if he were willing and able to retaliate.
* EldritchAbomination: Averted. Even though Koro-sensei looks like a freaky alien octopus, he states that he was born and raised on earth. As what, human, animal, vegetable, or mineral, is anyone's guess.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Koro-sensei is not pleased when one of his students' collaborative attempt at killing him almost injures one of their own.
* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: When people try to kill Koro-sensei he's usually doing other things, such as meticulously trimming his attackers' eyebrows or giving a fighter jet a polish in mid-air
** SelfDuplication: He can move so fast he can make selectively tangible afterimages. Chapter 12 shows him making one for every student in the class to personally focus on their weak subjects. He even leaves one outside to rest from all that work.
* ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: Subverted. When he bothers to say anything at all, he only tells the basics, and often leaves out key details, like the fact that his mucus protects him from his weakness to water.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Aside from his habit of flying around the world to eat any food he wants, he has been seen eating pens, knives, sodium hydroxide, aqua regia, plastic explosives...
* FlashStep: Koro-Sensei has a top speed of Mach 20. During one assassination attempt, he easily dodged the attacker while meticulously trimming his attacker's eyebrows. When attacked by state of the art fighter jets, he gave them a mid-air waxing. When attacked by knife armed students, he disarmed all of them, then replaced the knives with tulips without their noticing.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Debatable, but the first chapter makes it clear that his current appearance is not his true form. Surprisingly, sans tentacles, his shadowy true form seems human-like.
* FriendlyEnemy: To his students and his co-workers.
* GadgeteerGenius: Has extensive skill and knowledge with machines and electronics. He was able to [[spoiler: majorly upgrade Ritsu's capabilities for a relatively cheap sum of money]] and also built a custom motorcycle with a frame made of wood.
* GameFace: Pitch Black: Extreme Anger.
* GeniusBruiser: Impossible to defeat in single combat, and teaches every single subject at once without being challenged in any way,
* GoneHorriblyWrong: A super-powerful artificial creature, created to be the world's savior, now on course to destroy it in less than a year.
* GuileHero: For all his power, he almost always solves problems with trickery rather than brute force alone, often to the effect of bettering his opponents.
* HealingFactor: Koro-Sensei, amongst other abilities, has the power of regeneration. Even if he gets hit with the Applied Phlebotinum weapons, unless his body is almost completely destroyed, he'll recover in seconds.
* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: Though he may guide and coordinate them, he lets his students handle problems on their own whenever they're capable of it, which they usually are.
* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: Every few chapters Koro-sensei is given a character introduction that includes one of these comparing to his ability to travel at mach 20. Some are fairly sensible ([[LudicrousPrecision 651.241]] times Usain Bolt's 100 meter dash speed) while others are ridiculous (133,333.33 times faster than the speed of falling sakura petals).
* IllKillYou: Koro-sensei threatens to kill the families of Class-E if any of them endanger one another during an assassination attempt, and to kill the entire class if they don't pass a test with flying colors. The latter turned out to be a bluff, and probably the former too.
* InformedAttribute: He is an evil monster who intends to destroy the world, and only hasn't done so yet because it would be boring... Or so the narrative tells us. He actually acts in a way that has been compared to Buddha on this site, helping everyone around him improve themselves. The dissonance is so extreme it's hard to imagine that it's not {{Foreshadowing}} some kind of reveal.
* {{Irony}}: He is frequently described and compared with an octopus, but [[spoiler:he cannot swim]].
* {{Invisibility}}: A rarely used ability, and his clothes and anything he's carrying will still be visible. It's not explained exactly what he's doing, but it seems that he just makes himself transparent.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Koro-sensei transformed several times after drinking hazardous chemicals.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Koro-sensei, who will destroy the world, but also ensure that his students get good grades and become successful.
** Though, the jerk part is doubtful since he never really acts as a jerk.
* [[KaleidoscopeEyes Kaleidoscope Face]]: See ColorCodedEmotions above.
* KiAttack: Shown in chapter 84. [[spoiler:What's interesting is that ''he initially didn't know he could do that''; he learned it during the Island arc]].
* KryptoniteFactor: A rubbery material that is not described beyond being "special" and able to disrupt his cells on contact. It can be fashioned into knives, BB pellets, or clothes, and is apparently available in abundance.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He casually blows or slices off his own tentacles, sometimes several at once. Supposedly this causes emotional disturbance that slows him down for a while afterwards, but that's still way less of a response than such injuries warrant. Of course, he can regrow his tentacles after a few seconds.
* TheMatchmaker: A chapter has Koro-sensei pairing up the students into boy/girl pairs of his choosing to explore a cave in a poor attempt to cause some romantic tension between them. He even refers to the scheme as ''Couple Setup.'' Somewhat subverted in that he doesn't actually want them to get together as much as he wants juicy romantic gossip that he could poke fun at them for and write a novel about later.
* MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: Due to a [[NoNameGiven lack of a name]] at the beginning of the series, Kayano came up with Koro-sensei as a pun with the Japanese words "korosenai" and "sensei" ("unkillable teacher").
* MundaneUtility: This is practically the entire basis for his character. Koro-sensei boasts an enormous number of abilities and he uses nearly every single one of them to be a better teacher. Being able to fly at Mach 20; use your speed to visit different countries during lunch breaks in order to sample local cuisine. Able to create dozens of visual clones through sheer speed; use them to divide your attention to give every single student simultaneous one-on-one instruction. Able to regenerate from even severe injuries in a matter of seconds; use the ability to remove limbs to motivate your students to perform better on the next test...
* MysteriousPast: Why did he choose to become teacher of Class-E? Who is the woman to whom he made that promise? Where did he come from? What is he? These are just the first questions that come to mind.
** When the Chairman takes the time to see him personally, he drops a HUGE hint: [[spoiler:he says that Koro-sensei was created to save the world, but wound up becoming its greatest threat.]]
** Karasuma makes mention of another one: at one point in the past, Koro-sensei only had two legs and two arms. This was not the case in the flashback with the woman he made his promise to. In short, Koro-sensei might have once been Human.
** On the other hand the students conclude that both Koro-sensei and Itona are artificial beings, with Itona being made after Koro-sensei.
* NighInvulnerability: Is able to withstand fire from multiple high-caliber machine guns at once. Apparently, the only things that can seriously harm him are the special anti-sensei material, [[spoiler:and other beings similar to him, like Itona]].
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: This seems to a part of being a PsychologistTeacher.
* TheNoseKnows: He has an incredible smell sense.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Averted, though it involves sudden acceleration rather than deceleration. Koro-sensei cannot accelerate as quickly as he normally would if he has to catch or carry a normal human being because their bodies couldn't handle the physical stress.
* OmnicidalManiac: He plans to blow up the Earth, along with everyone living on it.
* OneHeadTaller: He is much taller than regular humans.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Losing limbs may affect his speed, but having [[spoiler:two gaping holes shot through his head seems to have no effect on his ability to think at all.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When this goofy, fun-loving character becomes angry and breaks out his GameFace, prepare for this lighthearted manga to turn very serious, very quickly. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Koro-sensei after his first [[spoiler: battle with Itona]]: He turns embarrassed after one of his rare bursts of anger, lamenting that it ruins his reputation as a gag character.
* ThePromise: Koro-sensei is teaching the students in his class as a promise he made to someone. As he once put it, teaching all of his students seriously is much more important to him than the end of the world.
* PsychologistTeacher
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Koro-sensei doesn't seem like this at first, but is soon revealed to be one.
* ShipperOnDeck: He, and the rest of Class 3-E, are this for Karasuma/Irina.
* SignatureLaugh: Nurufufufu.
* SlasherSmile: His GameFace color: [[http://l.mfcdn.net/store/manga/10718/01-001.0/compressed/m039.jpg Pitch Black]].
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:His ultimate defense form makes him completely invulnerable.]] Subverted though, [[spoiler:since he is also immobile in this form for 24 hours, and he is afraid that somebody could send him with a rocket into outer space (though, he admits that would be unrealistic, since sending him to the space would be too long)]]. This gives his enemies the opportunity to kill him with a plan, and he can't do nothing to avoid it.
* SuperSpeed: Koro-sensei, as previously mentioned, can move at Mach 20. He eats shaved ice he personally gathers from the North Pole. He eats Chinese food on his lunch break... in China.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In chapter 43.
-->'''Koro-sensei:''' "...I mean, I just don't really feel like [[spoiler:swimming]]. And it's not like [[spoiler:my tentacles get all bloated underwater and I can't move]] or anything."
* SweetTooth: Mentioned above.
* TerribleArtist: One of his minor weaknesses, he can only do simple art. And he still challenges Sugaya, the best artist in class, to making henna tattoos.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: [[spoiler:It hasn't happened yet, but in Chapter 32 there's a panel that implies this will happen to Koro-sensei when he is killed.]]
* VillainProtagonist: He destroyed the moon and plans to destroy the Earth in a year. Until then, he's going to fulfill a promise to be a teacher. If he's going to be a teacher, he is going to do it perfectly. As such, based on what we know, the only reason people targeting him can be considered bad guys is because they don't always care about not putting class 3E in danger.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Weak to water. Specifically, his body is sponge-like. Even a day with high humidity causes him to swell up comically. If he actually found himself immersed in water it would certainly get much worse and slow him down significantly. The mucus his skin releases can protect him from it, [[spoiler: but it can be depleted]].
** Also, the Anti-Koro Sensei weapons are basically his Kryptonite, which is notable as it's completely harmless to normal humans.

An agent sent from Japan's Ministry of Defense to supervise Koro-sensei. In Kunugigaoka Junior High School, he was admitted as an assistant teacher for Phys. Ed. in class 3-E.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Karasuma:

* TheAce: Incredibly skilled in variety of fields...though that amounts to nothing when you take into account that he's against a super-sonic, unkillable octopus. This is exemplified in chapter 106.
* AmazonChaser: His ideal 'type' are women with muscular bodies that are perfectly suited for battle. Though it's suspect if he realized they were asking about his ideal ''romantic'' type. Either way, it sucks for Bitch-sensei.
* BadassNormal: He's in an entirely different league from any other human character so far.
** BadassInANiceSuit: It's practically a trademark.
** BadassTeacher: One of the reasons why he's respected by his students. He's very protective of the Class-E students, and will not stand for anyone physically hurting them.
* BashBrothers: Together with Koro-sensei in the tag game.
--> "The strongest creature and the strongest human. [[ItMakesSenseInContext They're coming to attack us to give us more homework]]!!"
* BloodKnight: Whenever he spars with his students, and even more during the freerunning cops and robbers game, he really enjoys himself. He also can't help himself when going up against the God of Death in chapter 106.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: In chapter 106 he stops an iron beam and grabs a crossbow bolt '''with one hand each.'''
* GroinAttack: He finds an opening for a second and punches [[spoiler:the God of Death]] in the groin.
* HiddenDepths: The most serious and straight-laced character in the series. And yet Korosensei reveals that the main source of his inhuman strength is [[spoiler: "the deep rage hidden in his heart"]].
* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Decides that the lives of the students are worth more than a chance to kill Koro-sensei and proceeds to ''challenge the [[TheDreaded God of Death]]'']].
* HotTeacher: Oh, boy. Just ask the female fanbase.
* IgnoreTheFanservice: Poor Bitch-sensei. And sometimes, he even scolds her for being too hot.
* IndirectKiss: Bitch-sensei does this with his napkin. [[ObliviousToLove Which he mistakes for a being new assassination technique.]]
* KnifeNut: Although not restricted to knives (or nuttiness), he's good with them and training others to use them.
* NiceGuy: Comes across as this. However sternly and stoically he acts, he does ultimately care a lot for others and will go all out for them...and it's very obvious to all concerned.
* NotSoStoic: He tries so hard to maintain a professional demeanor, but considering the insanity of the situation he finds himself in, he can hardly go five minutes without getting visibly angry.
* ObliviousToLove: Poor Bitch-sensei. His first weakness is being "super dense". [[spoiler:Subverted when its revealed he knew all along, but just doesn't return her feelings.]]
* OnlySaneMan: In comparison to other teachers and his own (shady) bosses? Oh, yes.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Karasuma cares just as much for making sure the Class-E students can overcome the chairman's system as he does keeping them healthy and safe while making sure they can stop Koro-sensei from destroying the world.
* ShounenHair: It actually makes him looking badass at first sight.
* SlasherSmile: Does this a couple of times in battles.
* SternTeacher: Very much. But, the pupils actually like him for it, even if they acknowledge it at the same time.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (Japanese), Martha Harms (English)

An assassin who was sent to class 3-E to kill Koro-sensei. She teaches English and infiltration assassination.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Irina:

* ActionFashionista: Very fashion-conscious, teaches English with ''SexAndTheCity'' and takes every opportunity to dress-up she can...but is also a scarily efficient assassin. That's most of the boxes ticked, then.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Her short-tempered ComicRelief nature can make you forget she's a proficient killer. [[spoiler:She actually employs this in chapter 104 against Team B.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Fashion-obsessed apparent airhead. Who can teach multiple languages and interpersonal interaction surprisingly well as a ''result'' of her training as an ''assassin''.
* ButtMonkey: Part of her comedy value. She's quickly learned there are a select few people her usually reliable skills aren't that useful against. Doesn't stop her trying (and failing), though. [[spoiler: Henna tattoos of total embarrassment may be involved on occasion...]]
* ChildSoldiers: Made her first kill when she was 12, which is even younger than her current students are.
* CripplingOverspecialization: An infiltration assassin like is at a major disadvantage when she's found out.
** WoundedGazelleGambit: That said, when [[spoiler: she betrays Class E to the God of Death]], she proves that familiarity with her can be just as dangerous.
* CulturedBadass: Her language and communication skills, as well as being able to play piano beautifully, makes her this.
* CunningLinguist: As a globally-active infiltration assassin, she speaks many languages, and is able to get close to almost anyone through her wits and charm. During the hotel arc, she easily distracts an entire room full of guards to allow the students to proceed.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied as she told her students that they were lucky to be born in a peaceful country.
** It's later revealed that her country had an ethnic war and her parents were killed by a soldier when she was 12. She killed the soldier with her father's gun to save herself, then hid the corpse with her in the cellar to wait for the enemy to leave, all while feeling the body going lukewarm next to her. Considering her age and heritage, it should be pretty obvious exactly [[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars what conflict]] is being referenced here.
* DistractedByTheSexy: One of her specialties.
* TheDitz: If she wasn't an assassin, you'd wonder about her ability to survive.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Turns on the students, beats them, captures them and briefly joins the God of Death. She's forgiven within two chapters.]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: Bitch-neesan, and later Bitch-sensei. Even the polite students use it freely.
** In the official English, subtitles use "Professor Bitch" while the manga avoids the swear word but preserves the pun by calling her Ms. Vitch.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The other students' treatment of Class E at the assembly appalls even Bitch-sensei.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The whole class knows that she is in love with [[spoiler: Karasuma-sensei]]. She doesn't deny it.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Becomes a minion for The God of Death in chapter 103.]]
* FemmeFatale: She's done her utmost to cultivate this... and, is ''more'' than willing to pass the techniques along.
* ForcefulKiss: Plants a a 30-hit combo to Nagisa in order to get him to share Koro-sensei's weaknesses. She also does this to her other students, either as punishments or as rewards.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her introduction for one. What Koro-sensei does to her is another.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: After [[spoiler:being stunned by the classes forgiveness for her brief FaceHeelTurn]], she starts dressing much more conservatively.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: She smokes during the first few chapters she appears in, but stop completely after her HeelFaceTurn.
* HairTriggerTemper: When she's frustrated, you know: she doesn't exactly hide it (unless from an actual target: then she does bottle it). Added to a set of [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] of questioning either her sex-appeal, her competence or her dedication to killing a certain octopus...and, of course, calling her ''Bitch-sensei''.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Karasuma showed her how hard Koro-sensei works for his students, she decides to take her job as a teacher seriously.
* HiddenDepths: She’s well aware that a woman's beauty will not last for long and one should do everything she can to make herself shine as a woman.
* HoneyPot: What she did before coming to this school.
* HotTeacher: Duh!
* IndirectKiss: [[spoiler:To Karasuma-sensei with his napkin. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the reason behind it.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She initially doesn't care about or believe in the students, but as time passes she grows found of them and increasingly become disgusted by the school's system of degrading Class-E.
* MarshmallowHell: Irina tries to extract information on Koro-sensei's weaknesses by smothering Nagisa with her breasts. A couple non-Class-E students find themselves incredibly jealous of him.
* MsFanservice: And how. The students discover that she has the ability to make ''anything'' she wears incredibly erotic, even those belonging to conservative students such as Kanzaki.
** She often invokes this tropes, but fails for most of the time.
* {{Omniglot}}: She speaks ten languages from around the world. Her method is to take lovers in each of the countries she visits, and learn from them.
* PluckyComicRelief
* SelfImposedChallenge: She overcomes challenges. Her win against her teacher Lovro (the challenge was an mock assassination on Karasuma) by using a wire trap (which Lorvo had never taught her) while using seduction (which she knew it wouldn't work against Karasuma) as an camouflage.
* {{Sensual Slav|s}}: A Serbian example.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: Initially has this, but she drops it rather quickly when Nagisa informs her about Koro-sensei's heightened sense of smell
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The English manga spells her name "Jelavitch" to make clear the pronunciation and the vitch/bitch pun.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Flashes just a ''bit'' too much flesh than she really should as a teacher, whenever possible. It bites back, as [[spoiler:Karasuma-sensei being a conservative Japanese man is not attracted by her style]].
** [[http://www.mangareader.net/assassination-classroom/58/10 Look at this swimsuit!]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A toward Karasuma.
* VillainBall: Though her initial plan to kill Koro-sensei was well thought out and executed, Irina ignored the critical detail of Koro-sensei [[AbnormalAmmo being hurt only by a specific kind of material]], [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat instead choosing to use live ammunition under the assumption no living creature could survive a barrage of lead]]. Suffice to say, the attempt fails, ''badly''.
* WeakButSkilled: She is more skilled in wits and trickery than in straight up combat.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Chapter 19 reveals that she's only 20 years old.

->''"I bet I could kill him. I mean, this teacher doesn't even see me as a hitman."''

The most often seen student, and the main perspective character. Fell into Class 3-E at the end of the previous year due to poor grades. Mild-mannered, cautious and relatively weak, he prefers to observe and collect data on Koro-sensei's weaknesses rather than participate in assassination attempts. [[spoiler:Despite that, or perhaps because of it, he is considered to be one of the best assassins-in-training in the class.]]

5th best marksmanship, boys' side. [[spoiler:Ranked 6th in the school for English.]]
----
!!!Tropes associated with Nagisa:

* TheAce: Even before he [[spoiler:trounced Takaoka]] he was the only normal human to threaten Koro-sensei to the point where he had to use his molting ability. He is also readily acknowledged as being the go-to guy for information and analysis. Most of the embarrassing information shown in the assassination video for Korosensei was his contribution.
* AintTooProudToBeg: When [[spoiler: Takaoka]] forces him to ask for forgiveness [[PoseOfSupplication on his knees]] to get the antidote for his friends he inmediately complies.
* AmbiguousDisorder: There is ''something'' off about him.
** He isn't intimidated by having to wield a potentially deadly weapon or having to threaten someone's life, even though it's specifically pointed out that he should be. Yet he isn't generally callous or manipulative in the way a sociopath would be. He just has no compunction against killing for some reason, like you'd expect of a veteran hitman. Except he isn't one, yet.
*** He is supposed to be intimidated by the thought of using a real knife, but not only does he show no hesitation, he is clear-minded enough to attack using the dull side of the blade.
** His interactions with Karma in the early chapters are also not quite ordinary. Most people would be rather disturbed by Karma's AxCrazy passion of killing his teacher, but Nagisa remained calm the whole time, he didn't comment on Karma's ideas and he didn't show any reaction to Karma's crazy attitude. Nagisa's facial expression was telling like neutral wondering whether Karma would succeed or not. In short, Nagisa just acted like a neutral observer.
* AnimalMotifs: [[spoiler:An enormous snake. Symbolizes his viciousness and his ability to hide in plain sight, like a snake in the grass.]]
* AnimeHair: He seems to have odd pigtails in the back of his head, but since he was never seen with his hair down--even when he's swimming--for a long time it was believed that that was its natural shape. [[spoiler:Chapter 112 reveals that they actually are pigtails.]]
* AttractiveBentGender: He only needs to put on a skirt and some HairDecs to pass off as a really convincing girl, and even catches a guy's attention like this. According to Hayami, he looks so feminine, it's unnatural. Justified since his mother, who wanted a daughter, makes him look like a girl.
* AudienceSurrogate: For younger audiences in Japan, a character who struggles in school and suffers from lack of confidence would be extremely familiar to a lot of people. By this interpretation, that would make his ability to summon up will when needed and his various talents WishFulfillment.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Downplayed. His abilities are hardly superhuman, but he still possesses the best sensibility and instinct in the class when it comes to planning an assassination.
* BadassAdorable: The shortest and most androgynous of the male students. He cemented his status as one of Class 3-E's biggest badasses when he [[spoiler:destroyed Takaoka in a knife duel--with a ''real'' knife]].
* BareYourMidriff: The outfit he wore while [[ItMakesSenseInContext pretending to be a fish]].
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with his friends. Specifically, don't [[spoiler:deliberately push this button by rubbing in the fact that you're trying to brutally kill off all of his friends]]. The one {{Troll}} who managed to successfully piss Nagisa off ended up regretting it for the rest of his life.
** While first shocked when [[spoiler:the God of Death knocked out Yoshida, Muramatsu and Kimura, Nagisa enters into his "assassin mode", when the said God of Death breaks Kayano some ribs]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sure, he's a nice guy who gets along with everyone in the RagtagBunchOfMisfits that is class 3-E, and is even a vegetarian to boot. But on the other hand [[spoiler:his stealth and sheer bloodlust make elite veteran soldiers shit bricks]].
** You know that propensity to note down people's weaknesses? Well, seems he [[spoiler:isn't above using what he learns to character assassinate you for a just cause (or just a distraction), either]]. Psychological warfare when needed? Check.
* BigBrotherMentor: To little Sakura.
* {{Bishounen}}: He looks good enough to be a girl, and when dresses as a girl, the boy named Yuuji prefers ''him'' over the real girls.
* BookDumb: Relatively speaking. He did fall into class E due to poor grades, after all. But when it comes to ''applying'' the knowledge he has, he's more like a TeenGenius.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The three things he wants most are to get to know everyone in his class, to live without leaving things unfinished, and to kill his teacher.
** That's not the only time Nagisa's train of thought blithely dips into surreal and slightly disturbing territory. Read the journal entry Korosensei grades in Chapter 2. It looks like a normal journal entry, discussing Nagisa's favorite food and where his family went for dinner the night before (a sushi restaurant). He notes that his favorite food is ''takosushi'', and that Korosensei looks like an octopus (Korosensei agrees). Nagisa's journal entry abruptly ends with him wondering what Korosensei tastes like.
* ChekhovsGun: Those hairbands Nagisa always wears around his wrists. He's almost never seen without them, and when he isn't it's usually a drawing error. [[spoiler:He has them just in case something happens to the ones he wears in his hair, because he's embarrassed by how long it is, but his mother isn't allowed to cut it.]]
* Main/ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler: The "sure kill technique" he learned from Lovro]] is left unmentioned and unexplained for several chapters until he uses it on [[spoiler: Takaoka in their second duel]].
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:In assassination]].
* ClassicalAntiHero: Though he's more than willing to assassinate Koro-sensei, Nagisa is the shortest guy in the class, physically weak compared to the rest of the students, and has a few confidence issues thanks to being dropped into Class 3-E (as well as some vaguely hinted-at parental issues at home). Didn't stop him from standing out as one of the class' best assassins.
* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Nagisa holds a combat knife with his mouth so he can limber up before he fights [[spoiler:Takaoka]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and eyes.
* DeathGlare: Nagisa sends one to [[spoiler:Takaoka]] when the conditions for his assassination method are finally met. He is smiling, but that only makes it even ''more'' chilling.
* DissonantSerenity: Walking up to Koro-sensei with a grenade around his neck and knowing full well he could get seriously injured or even die with nary a change in his usual expression? Check. Taking down [[spoiler:an elite veteran soldier by casually walking up to him in a way he himself describes as ''as if I were walking to school'' and slashing at his neck?]] Check.
** This is considered to be his greatest talent: the ability to completely hide his (considerable) killing intent, making him the most assassin-like of all the students.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He has GirlishPigtails and feminine-looking body (except he hasn't boobs). There are fans convinced he's still a woman posing as a man. Lampshaded in chapter 43, which also definitively confirms his gender--he wears a male swim suit, and several female students note how up until that point it had been hard to tell. To the point of only needing to wear girl's clothes and a bit of hair accessory to pass of as girl in chapter 66, [[AttractiveBentGender and to charm another boy accidentally.]] It's later revealed this is his mother's fault, since she never wanted a son and forces Nagisa to look like a girl.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: When a disguise makes them think he's a girl, that is. And possibly even when they know he's not.
* ExpressiveHair: Subtly. His pigtails droop when he's feeling particularly down. They lift up and become wing-like when [[spoiler:his killing intent is switched on.]]
* FirstNameBasis: Everyone calls him by his given name. Really everyone. This is a bit odd in a LastNameBasis.
* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: While Koro-sensei is the central character, Nagisa provides most of the narration, usually in the form of explaining the thoughts of the whole class.
* GenderBlenderName: Nagisa is a name which is often given to girls, but boys have this name, too. Makes sense since his mother wanted a daughter.
* GirlishPigtails: Seriously, look at his hair. You can't deny that those are pigtails, and he looks very girly with them. The reason he wears his hair in pigtails is because his mother won't allow him to get it cut, so it has grown to shoulder length. Presumably, the school has a rule about hair length for males, but he's also very embarrassed by how it looks when let down. It's later revealed he used to have a ponytail, but Kayano suggested him to wear his hair in pigtails instead [[spoiler:because she wanted him to stand out enough so she could blend in with the "background characters"]].
* GroinAttack: He gets a verbal one. After he changes back from the girl outfit to his normal clothes, Karma suggests he should get rid of "it". Needless to say, Nagisa is not amused and wants to keep "it".
* HiddenDepths: Nagisa is heavily implied to be more than just the main perspective character, as evidenced by his training with Karasuma in chapter 38. Karasuma has the kids attempt to attack him with their Anti-Sensei knives, which are harmless to humans. Suddenly, a monstrous snake attacks Karasuma. This is later revealed to be some sort of hallucination he had, and it was actually Nagisa. [[spoiler: Later, when Takaoka challenges the class to fight him with ''real knives'' (believing that, like his other recruits, they'll choke because they've never used a real weapon), Karasuma gives the knife to Nagisa.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He's at least competent at everything he does, but you wouldn't think so by how low his opinion of himself is [[spoiler: unless his killing intent is switched on]].
* IllKillYou: Nagisa asserts this to [[spoiler:Takaoka after he destroys the antidote needed to save his classmates]]. His classmates are perfectly willing to believe he'd actually go through with it.
* KillingIntent: He can make middle school bullies and [[spoiler: two of the government's most elite soldiers]] lose their composure and tremble in fear through killing intent alone. Powerful instances of this are symbolized by [[spoiler: a gigantic snake, as Karasuma and Takaoka find out first-hand]]. His ability to freeze people with his killing intent alone has been compared to [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Orochimaru's]], despite the fact that this is not a series about superpowered {{Ninja}}.
** [[spoiler: Although Nagisa is shown to have a bloodthirsty side, it is actually revealed in Chapter 128 that some of his bloodlust is actually Kayano's and that she used him to conceal herself and her bloodlust until the time was right for her to assassinate Koro-sensei]]
* KissOfDistraction: [[spoiler:Did this to Kayano in Chapter 132.]]
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: InUniverse example. The official guidebook shows what pairings the class play ShipperOnDeck to. At least 75% have him in it.
* LetsGetDangerous: He's known to everyone as a kind, meek student without any noteworthy physical abilities, though a few characters catch glimpses of his potential as an assassin. When Karasuma chooses him to [[spoiler: fight Takaoka in a duel, most characters couldn't comprehend why...until Nagisa flawlessly takes Takaoka down using his wits and killing intent, even though the match was rigged against him]].
** When he's normal, he's so normal that Karma thought he was so un-scary that it was scary, because Karma had just seen how dangerous he could be but couldn't detect anything about him that gave that away. And when he's not normal, even when facing a vastly stronger opponent his classmates seem to be more afraid ''of'' him than ''for'' him.
* TheLoad: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by himself, as he points out that accompanying his female classmates while being dressed up as a girl was completely pointless in the end. Though, Karma thinks [[RuleOfFunny it would be obviously funny]].
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long hair, which only contributes to his girly looks. Turns out his mother doesn't allow him to cut his hair because she wants him to look like a girl.
* MarshmallowHell: Irina tries to extract information on Koro-sensei's weaknesses by smothering him with her breasts. A couple non-Class-E students find themselves incredibly jealous of him.
* NiceGuy: Definitely one of the nicest students in the class. He has a friendly demeanor, is very considerate towards his classmates, and won't easily let his emotions get the best of him. Even after [[spoiler: showing off some terrifying displays of bloodlust]], his classmates still treat him like the meek, amicable guy that he is.
* NightmareFace: An unusual example, but his innocent smiling faces have given [[spoiler:Takaoka]] some serious nightmares.
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: It has been remarked that he is the only person who doesn't realize just how insanely powerful his killing intent is.
* OddFriendship: With Karma. Despite being close and long-time friends who are often seen together, they're quite different. Karma is extroverted, aggressive and crass. He takes his time, enjoys taunting his opponents and attacks them recklessly and brutally. Nagisa is calm and polite. As an assassin, he's far more professional than Karma, hiding his intentions and going straight for precision kills before the target even expects anything.
* [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary Middle School Student]]: Thoroughly normal, though in keeping with this trope there are a couple hidden special things about him. (See ChildProdigy, DissonantSerenity)
* PintSizedPowerhouse: The shortest male in the classroom and he can take down [[spoiler:Takaoka]] with ease.
* PostKissCatatonia: He passes out after receiving a 30-hit kiss from Bitch-sensei.
* PsychoticSmirk: Has an utterly chilling one when he gets serious. See DissonantSerenity.
* RageBreakingPoint: After keeping his composure together while trying to [[spoiler: appease Takaoka in order to obtain the antidote to the lethal virus afflicting his classmates]], he finally loses it when [[spoiler: Takaoka destroys the antidote anyways]].
* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: The reason for his feminine tendencies. His mother is a psychotic ControlFreak who forces him to act and dress like a girl, because she never wanted a male child.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Karma's Red Oni.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Karma's Manly Man.
* ShrinkingViolet: He's very shy, quiet, and withdrawn, only speaking when he feels he has something to contribute. This greatly assists his assassin skills, because no one can see him coming. He probably developed these tendencies so he wouldn't provoke his mother's violent temper.
* ShyBlueHairedGirl: A male example. He is a reserved, polite, and quiet boy, in stark contrast to FieryRedhead Karma.
* SilkHidingSteel: Male version. He is certainly not your traditional badass, but he can make himself appear so innocent that a man intent on beating him into submission was stunned into inaction long enough for him to get in position for what could easily have been a killing blow. [[spoiler:Even in their rematch, when his opponent was expecting it.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Although he probably has his dad's hair and eyes, everything else on his face makes him resemble his mother.
* SupportingProtagonist: From chapter 1 onward, he's been making note of every weakness his sensei has, from the weak, like Sensei's preference for large breasts, to the strong, like [[spoiler:his reduced stamina after regenerating a wound, and his inability to swim]].
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: We get to see one of Nagisa's graded English assignments in chapter 2. It's not perfect, but it's easily understandable. For added attention to detail, there are even a couple of spelling errors that are pointed out.
-->'''Note:''' "There aren't many grammatical errors and it wraps up nicely. What an excellent journal entry!!"
* TranquilFury: When [[spoiler:Takaoka blows up the antidote needed to save his friends]], he develops DullEyesOfUnhappiness and not-so-calmly announces [[spoiler:his intention to kill him]]. After Koro-sensei and Terasaka talk him out of diving into a full blown UnstoppableRage, his anger cools into a peaceful, terrifying smile as he prepares to [[spoiler: use the "secret killing technique" on Takaoka]].
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: It's present for the entire class, but he's a very notable case. He's just too much of a natural at assassinations, which becomes even more troubling when juxtaposed with his usual behavior.
* UncannyValleyGirl: RareMaleExample. Well, he looks girly enough to be an UncannyValleyGirl. Nevertheless, beware if he smiles gently at you.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: He's the only one student who wears the waistcoat without the blazer over it.
* WeakButSkilled: Takaoka notes that Nagisa is amongst the weakest of the boys, with physical stats closer to that of a girl's. A few pages later, Karasuma is staring at Nagisa in awe as [[spoiler:he managed to take down Takaoka in a matter of seconds]] and noting that Nagisa's talent never would have been discovered in the course of a normal school life.
* WellDoneSonGuy: It's not brought up often, but his parents don't look him in the eye ever since he landed in class E, and he would very much like to make, if not them, at least ''someone'' proud of him. And he's literally willing to kill to reach that goal.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Because of his father's work, they don't get to see each other often, which is unfortunate because theirs seems to be one of the very few positive parent-child relationships in the series. Nagisa seems to like him much more than his mother, who he lives with. This turns out to be true as in chapter 113 his mother is quite abusive [[spoiler:and the next day after she leaves the school, she ties him up and reveals she plans to burn down the school he's studying. Had an assassin who wants to kill Koro-sensei didn't appear, it may or may not work.]] Nagisa outright says that his father left home because he didn't want to deal with his mother's psychosis.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is light blue.

->''"A true blade is one you don't even show to your close friends."''

She's one of Nagisa's closest friends, and like him, she usually stands in the background and supports the others. She is the student who came up with Koro-sensei's name. [[spoiler:She is actually Akari Yukimura, the younger sister of the dead Aguri Yukimura, who was Class E's previous teacher and Koro-sensei's supposed lover. She also used to be a child actress who went by the stage name of Haruna Mase. She also has tentacles like Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kayano:

* ACupAngst: She's really self-conscious about it, and claims to have B-cups whenever asked. A RunningGag is her bringing it up regardless of how relevant it is to the current situation.
* AffectionateNickname: She is called "Kayanocchi" by Okano.
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:In chapters 128-132.]]
* BareYourMidriff: The outfit she wore while [[ItMakesSenseInContext pretending to be a fish]].
* BerserkButton:
** She hates big boobs. Though there are certain [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/ansatsu_kyoushitsu/c066/13.html exceptions]]. [[spoiler: Her anger or rather "fixation" towards big boobs mirrors Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
** Actually, [[spoiler:everything about Koro-sensei pisses her off since he is the supposed killer of her older sister, as revealed in chapter 129.]]
* BiTheWay: She has obviously an eye on Nagisa, but has swooned over Kataoka and Yada too.
* CombatTentacles: [[spoiler:In Chapter 128, two long tentacles pop out from her nape.]]
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: When the students push to have Irina-sensei kicked out of 3-E, her reason isn't Irina's initially poor teaching and lack of faith in the class, as it was with the other students. It was her boobs.
* DamselInDistress: In the Kyoto arc, and it would have happened again in the Assassination Island arc if the class hadn't decided to forego the hostage trade-off and just infiltrate the Fukuma Palace Hotel.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Despite the fact that she's a major viewpoint student, she usually stands in the background or supports them. She shines in chapter 80 for the first time, with very little foreshadowing (see FreezeFrameBonus below). [[spoiler:Chapter 128 onwards is all about her.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: According to Itona, carrying having tentacles is an agonizing experience for any normal human. Kaede/Akari was able to wear them for a full year without even hinting about how much pain she was in. In chapter 131, he guesses that this was only possible because she never actually ''used'' the tentacles during that year. Once she does, her mind starts eroding fast.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Nagisa. She'd probably like to be something a ''little'' [[ShipTease more intense]], but until he bothers to notice, she'll settle for being the friend he can bounce ideas off of and occasionally makes good points of her own. She provides much of the useful excuse for his FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator status. [[spoiler:The ShipTease she has with Nagisa could all be an act, though.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: In the end of chapter 80, there is a very little minor detail of Kayano's appearance. A minor detail that foreshadows a [[spoiler:big plot twist]]. [[http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xap1/t51.2885-15/e15/10661259_798108633578123_1563893368_n.jpg See here]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Chapters 128 and 129]].
* GenkiGirl: An upbeat character, especially when it comes to pudding and other sweets.
* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler:When she transfered to class 3-E, she picked Nagisa as the "protagonist", so she can hide her bloodlust under his shadow.]]
* HairIntakes: Invoked. She seems to have a cat-ears-looking hairstyle, but it's shown not to be natural.
* HiddenDepths: The best hidden of everyone in class E, beyond even Nagisa. [[spoiler:Chapter 128 changes practically everything we thought we knew about her. She has the strongest will of everyone in class E, able to go to school their and act no different than if it were a normal class, despite the bullying. These depths become all the deeper in chapter 129 when its revealed that she is one of the worlds best actresses and has had the tentacles, which nearly drove Itona insane, for nearly a year yet still showed no outward signs.]]
** [[spoiler:It actually goes further, as she was pretending to be a normal junior high school student exiled to Class E while being an actual assassin (apparently) the whole time. Even Nagisa, unassuming as he may be, was willing to use his killing intent to discourage bullying by other students. Kayano, on the other hand, was able to behave exactly like a "normal" person in her situation would, without giving a hint that she was capable of anything remotely on the level of what she demonstrated in Chapter 128]].
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Unlike the other students, she has a personal reason to kill Koro-sensei. To avenge her dead sister Aguri.]]
* LettingHerHairDown: At the end of the Kyoto arc, after taking a bath.[[spoiler:Does it again after revealing her true self.]]
* MasterActor: [[spoiler:She's actually a professional and prodigal actress, renowned for her skill to play any kind of role flawlessly. Due to this, she was able to fool Class E's students and staff during the school year. All of them believed the fake identity she created.]]
* NiceGirl: She's a fairly nice student when she's not being plagued by her ACupAngst. [[spoiler:It's all an act.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Okano's reaction to Kayano being not disgusted by Yada's big boobs.
** In chapter 80, she appoints herself leader of the "Pudding Killsplosion Plan". The other students [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] that she's always devoted to logistical support.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Her skills lie in logical and logistical support and pudding-making, not combat, so she becomes this when compared to the likes of Nagisa and Karma. [[spoiler:She's actually not what she appears to be. She's far more skillful than Nagisa and Karma but she hid it for she was a prodigal child actress.]]
* {{Pettanko}}: She is frequently mocked for her small bust, to the point where it's documented as "Forever 0". [[BlatantLies She claims to have B-cups.]]
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:She can set her tentacles on fire.]]
* PostKissCatatonia: [[spoiler:In Chapter 132, Nagisa gives her a 15-hit kiss, which knocks her out.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Once she reveals her tentacles and her true identity, her eyes turn red.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:She states she doesn't care what she has to do, who she gets involved or even if she dies, the only thing she wants to do is taking revenge for her sister, who was killed by Koro-sensei.]]
* SeashellBra: A feature of her fish costume.
* ShipTease: She's implied to have feelings for Nagisa. [[spoiler: Which could be just a mask.]]
* SuperDrowningSkills: Girl can't swim worth beans. She had to wear a lifebuoy to keep afloat during a plan that involved pretending to be a fish creature. [[spoiler:Her reason for not being able to swim is revealed in chapter 128 where she seems to be similar to Koro-sensei and Itona who also cannot swim.]]
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: She has golden eyes and it's later revealed she's not as normal as she seems. [[spoiler:She has tentacles like Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
* SweetTooth: Chapter 80 reveals her love for pudding. She gets the opportunity to use pudding for an assassination. [[spoiler: This makes her similar to Koro-sensei and Itona.]]
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: In the sports festivals, she participates in the net race game and she crawls really fast through the net because she's so [[{{Pettanko}} flat]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to TheReveal in chapter 128, expect to see A LOT of spoiler-tags for Kayano.
* WhamLine:
** [[spoiler:''"I love you Koro-sensei. Now, die."'']]
** [[spoiler:''"I'm the younger sister of Aguri Yukimura. Get it now, murderer?"'']]
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Her hair is green. [[spoiler:Unnaturally green actually, since she dyed it to conceal her real appearance. Her hair is actually black, just like her sister's.]]
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:She wants to kill Koro-sensei because she blames him for the death of her sister.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (Japanese), Creator/AustinTindle (English)

->''"I think not enjoying yourself in a classroom where it's okay to kill is such a waste."''

A student who joined late due to being suspended from school for trashing his teacher's office. He started off holding a major grudge against all teachers, and as such is one of the students most dedicated to the assassination. Koro-sensei helped him get over that particular issue, but he is still a near-sociopath who loves to beat people into unconsciousness who aren't his classmates. He often hangs around with Nagisa.

3rd best marksmanship, boys' side.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Karma:

* AcademicAthlete: One of the best students in studying and sports. The problem: he is a BullyHunter and lazy.
* TheAce: One of the most physically capable students, ranked third in marksmanship, as well as the best in academic performance. He has the second best track record among the normal human students when it comes to threatening Koro-sensei.
* ArcVillain: While not exactly a straight up villan, he was definitive an antagonist to Koro-sensei in chapter 4 to 6.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: In contrast to Kimura, who's embarrassed by his first name of [[spoiler:Justice]], Karma genuinely likes his name, which is a result of his parents loving Indian culture.
* AxCrazy: In the beginning of the series, he has shown a crazy obsession for killing Koro-sensei. It toned down after he learns to respect his teacher.
* BadAss: It was always clear since he was the first student to injure Koro-sensei, but [[spoiler:during the Assassination Island arc, he takes on an adult pro assassin, and it's obvious the whole time that he's got the guy's number, both in hand-to-hand and in guile]].
* {{Bishounen}}
* BitingTheHandkerchief: He isn't crying, and it isn't played for laughs, but biting his [[spoiler: test papers]] is a clear sign of how upset he is by [[spoiler:failing to beat Asano Jr. in the math portion of the first term finals, and on top of that performing worse than in the mid terms when class E had a handicap]].
* BreakoutCharacter: Karma is the most popular student alongside Nagisa and he's one of the most prominent and important students of the series.
* BrilliantButLazy: Aside from assassination attempts, he never seems to put much effort into anything, even training. Not that it affects his performance.
** [[DeconstructedTrope Comes to bite him in the ass]] [[spoiler:during the first term finals where he performs badly enough to go from 4th to 13th place in the school rankings. Certainly, he still did great for someone who didn't study at all, but he ''could have done better'' and all involved knowing this]].
* BloodKnight: He is usually the first one who picks up in a fight.
* BreakTheHaughty: Karma gets a little too proud of his early successes against Koro-sensei. However, all he really managed to do was draw Koro-sensei's full attention to him, and Koro-sensei makes sure that he knows exactly how outmatched he is by dealing with his attempts in the the most offhand and humiliating ways he can, until Karma is [[DrivenToSuicide Driven To]] SuicideAttack. Fortunately for him, Koro-sensei always fixes what he breaks.
** Chapter 54 really puts him in his place.
* BrokenPedestal: A teacher he looked up to protected him from the consequences of his [[BullyHunter Bully Hunting]] because of his good grades...until he targeted the wrong person. The pedestal breaking is (very) graphically depicted by the teacher crumbling to dust until only a skeleton remains.
* BullyHunter: It was this hobby of his that landed him in class E when he beat up a top-ranking student in defense of a member of said class.
* ButterflyKnife: For added cool, the anime gives Karma one during his introductory attack on Koro-sensei. He even shows off a few tricks before pocketing it.
* CharacterDevelopment: Sheds his BrilliantButLazy traits after his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and BreakTheHaughty moments, as shown in Chapter 76, when a panel depicting his room shows that he has actually been studying. It pays off during [[spoiler: the second semester mid-terms, where he ranks second, and is the only student in Class E with improved scores despite being insufficiently prepared for the exams.]]
* CheshireCatGrin: He's often seen wearing a wide, open-mouthed grin, especially when he's in the middle of ruining someone's day.
* CombatPragmatist: Justified by the nature of the series. His real strength lies in his intelligence and traps.
* {{Delinquent}}: He often skips classes, loves to pick fights on streets and anywhere, and was suspended before the beginning of the series.
* EmptyEyes: Looking closely, Karma's eyes lack the shine his classmates have. Also, his eyes are drawn a little wider, making him appear just a bit... [[UncannyValley off]] compared to the others.
* EvilRedhead: At first. Has shades of a male FieryRedhead afterward.
* FieryRedhead: His red hair matches his violent and rebellious personality.
* FirstNameBasis: Most of his classmates, as well as Koro-sensei, call him by his first name. He's sometimes called by his last name.
* {{Foil}}: Gakushuu Asano might be one being set up for him, seeing as both students are the strongest of their respective classes. The fact that [[spoiler:Karma lost to him during the final exams]] really got to him.
* GuileHero: His Establishing Character Moment has him offer Koro-sensei a an introductory handshake...with a hand that's secretly covered in anti-sensei fragments.
[[Characters/AssassinationClassroomOthers Other highlights include his plan in Chapter 49.
* HeelFaceTurn: He was not only willing to end Koro-sensei's life, but also to destroy his existence as an teacher. After Koro-sensei saved his life, Karma accepted as his teacher and will "only" try to kill him.
* IShallTauntYou: A common tactic of Karma's that he's very skilled in. If he isn't doing it himself he's coaching others in how to do it.
* KarmicTrickster: Not that his name and habit of hunting bullies isn't a warning... And, you do need that warning for when he gets serious. Do not provoke him -- mayhem ensues.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Karma is initially introduced as an AxCrazy lunatic, but is later revealed to have been a BullyHunter and an excellent student. What landed him in Class E wasn't his being evil, but siding with a Class E student who was being bullied.
* ALessonInDefeat: His scores slip during the first term finals because he was arrogant about his intelligence and didn't study hard enough to succeed with the increased difficulty. Fortunately, he takes the lesson to heart, and starts working much harder from then on.
* MeaningfulName: As a BullyHunter, [[KarmicTrickster Karma]] is the bad thing that happens to [[AssholeVictim bad people]]. He also says that his parents love India, which would explain why they named him like that. He really does enjoy dishing out [[AndIMustScream G-rated ironic fates]] that are still pretty horrendous whenever he can manage them...perhaps a [[{{Troll}} little too much at times]]. Think a young, male Nemesis on a budget.
* NotAfraidToDie: Jumped off a cliff as part of an assassination attempt. He wasn't sure if Koro-sensei would even try to rescue him, and even if he did, if Karma's plan had gone as he intended he would have fallen to his death after killing Koro-sensei. He's developed to become more attached to his life since then.
* [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Evil Bureaucrat]]: What he wants to be when he grows up.
* OralFixation: Chews things--fingernails, paper, whatever--when he's seriously upset.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Can effortlessly subdue [[BigGuy Terasaka]] using one hand, despite being barely half his size. Inverted, as Karma's not that short since he is 175 cm, which is around average or above average height for a Japanese man. He and Terasaka (180 cm) are actually five cenimeters (two inches) apart in height. He just looks short due to Terasaka being so big in build.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of one, from Koro-sensei, after he gets lower scores than previously on the first term exams.]] Of course, it was to help him learn and grow, but it was still harsh-sounding enough to qualify.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Nagisa's Blue Oni.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Nagisa's Sensitive Guy.
* SlasherSmile: Does this very often.
* SociopathicHero: Unlike Nagisa, he isn't just capable of violence, but enjoys it. A lot. People he targets often end up very badly injured. Thankfully, he seems to have [[BullyHunter a sort of a code]].
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: He didn't have to use Koro-sensei's tentacle earphone when he and Nagisa skipped class to go watch Nagisa's favorite movie in Hawaii. Since he's very intelligent, he probably understands and excels at English even though he's never seen speaking it.
* {{Troll}}: When he starts [[ItAmusedMe really enjoying himself]], he can cross the line from the [[TheTrickster Tricksterish]] BullyHunter to outright {{Troll}} in seconds. And, you really ''don't'' want him to do that when he's holding tubes of wasabi paste or anywhere near [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce Scotch Bonnets]]... Comes rather too close to FortheEvulz for comfort.
* TrueCompanions: Despite his sometimes aloof behavior, he gets along very well with his classmates and he never harms any of them, despite being a BloodKnight. He's also a BullyHunter because he cares for his classmates.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Karma has yellow-gold eyes, and is most dangerous for his high intelligence and prankster tendencies.

----
!!!Tropes associated with Okuda:

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Especially if they calmly offer you food or drink...

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 7. And later a little bit in chapter 51 to 53, along with Nakamura, Isogai and Kanzaki.
* FriendlessBackground: According to her character profile, she had no friends before joining class E.
* MadScientist: A young, G-rated version. Look at her rather worrying smile when she's presenting her [[LaxativePrank "Victoria Falls"]].
* MasterPoisoner: In training. While homemade toxins are her specialty, she really needs to work on her delivery.
* {{Meganekko}}: The only girl of the class who wears glasses.
* NerdsAreSexy: It's her talent for making interesting chemicals that's got Karma's attention. The glasses may also help.
* NoSocialSkills: She is awkward, timid and incredibly straightforward. Her method of trying to poison Koro-sensei was to walk up to him and ask him to drink her concoctions. Then, when Koro-sensei offered to tutor her on how to create a chemical mixture that would kill him, she took him at face value. In truth, the medicine that she made is actually a medicine that improves his fluidity. Koro-sensei uses this as an lesson for Okuda on why delivery (or conversation skills) was also a necessity.
* {{Pettanko}}: She has A-cups.
* ShrinkingViolet: Although she's slowly coming out of her shell, she's still very shy.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 37.
* ArtAttacker: He attempts to use his art and disguise talents to assassinate Koro-sensei, without much success.
* {{Delinquent}}: Averted. When he appeared with a henna tattoo on his left arm, everyone was worried that he became one.
* [[DistractedByTheSexy Distracted by the Ugly]]: During the final exams of the first semester, the [[{{Gonk}} ugly]] replacement of Ritsu was sitting next to him, so he couldn't concentrate and ended up getting the lowest score in the class. However, [[spoiler:he still increased his rank from 149 to 95, being in the middle ground among those in his grade]].
* MadArtist: He is not mad, but in chapter 37, he uses henna paint mixed with Anti-Sensei material to kill Koro-sensei. However, the tattoo is extremely painful, but Koro-sensei has to sit long enough to be killed like that.
* MarkOfTheBeast: How he describes his henna tattoo in chapter 37. When Bitch-sensei shows up and sees that every student has henna tattoos on their arms, she is so shocked that she almost believes they are monsters.
* MasterOfDisguise: Skilled at making disguises and artwork and only getting better at it as the series goes along and practices with more materials.

A beautiful and popular student, said to be the idol of class E. Comes from a conservative, wealthy family, who wanted her to be an ideal Japanese woman.

5th best marksmanship, girls' side. [[spoiler:Ranked 2nd in school for Japanese Literature.]]

!!!Tropes associated with Kanzaki:

* DamselInDistress: In the Kyoto arc.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 15 to 17. And later a little bit in chapter 51 to 53, along with Nakamura, Okuda and Isogai.
* FantasyForbiddingFather[=/=]TranquilFury: Her father is an strict, stern man who despises her attitude and prohibits her anything he thinks may be detrimental to her high status. [[AllThereInTheManual In the volume 03 extras]], her father yells at her and orders her to change her behavior, but she refuses to obey him and states that she's determined to keep going. In the volume 04 extras, her father chews her out (again) and demands she pursues a career in law, which he considers the right path for someone of her status. At that point, Kanzaki [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]], tells him that she wants to become a caretaker and that's final. All with a calm smile in her face.
* GamerChick: Not just regular games. She wins at BulletHell arcade games, while never losing her YamatoNadeshiko demeanor. It's deconstructed, in that she got so good at video games by shirking her studies to rebel against her parents, and that's how she ended up in Class-E.
* LadyOfWar: What she's probably going to wind up being by the time she's grown up a bit. Specialising in hand-guns and short-range weaponry with oodles of grace and refinement, in her case. She's not far from being one already, as it stands.
* NaginatasAreFeminine. She [[ItMakesSenseInContext uses a naginata in the literature exam]] as the YamatoNadeshiko she is.
* NiceGirl: The main reason for her popularity among Class E. When the boys voted on which girl was the most attractive, she came first, and personality and face were listed as the reasons for that.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: She has a bad track record of attracting womanizers and thugs with her looks.
* StepfordSmiler: After falling to Class E, she became depressed because her teenage rebellion led her to fail her family. Thanks to [[PsychologistTeacher Koro-sensei]] she got better.
* YamatoNadeshiko: She is noted for her grace, helpfulness and reliability, and is very popular among the male students. As is customary, she also has some steel to her as well.

----
!!!Tropes associated with Kataoka:

* AcademicAthlete: She is one of the best students in studies, and excellent in sports. The only reason she drops into Class E is because she was a victim of TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity.
* ClassRepresentative: Together with Isogai.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 44 to 45.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Isogai. Both are the {{Class Representative}}s and {{The Leader}}s of Class E, are nice and helpful, good in basically everything, very popular and are ''ikemen'' (despite Kataoka being a girl).
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: A flashback shows that a female student gave her a love letter. Kayano has a little affection on her, and then there is Kokona who [[FanDisservice licks her hand]]. AllThereInTheManual states Yada has a crush on her.
** [[BridalCarry Princess Carry]]: According to her character profile, she longs to be given one. Unfortunately for her, the rest of the girls in the class misunderstood her and thought she longed to ''give'' one to somebody, [[UpToEleven so they all lined up in front of her asking for one]].
* ExtremeDoormat: Started out like this, anyway. Has since taken a level in backbone.
* {{Foil}}: To Nagisa regarding their athletic abilities. Nagisa is noted to have physical strength equal to a girl, while Kataoka has the athletic conditions of boys.
* InSeriesNickname: Ikemegu (from ''ikemen'') and Megumegu (by Kokona).
* TheLeader: Type II and IV. Like Isogai, she's a charismatic and helpful person, but she's also noted for having a good leadership and command.
* NiceGirl: She's a very helpful student with a nice personality, but, in contrast to Isogai, she had a [[ExtremeDoormat problem with refusing offers]].
* NotSoStoic: Usually one of the more serious students, but sometimes she can't keep her cool.
* OneSteveLimit: With none other than [[SadistTeacher Ta]][[JerkAss ka]][[AxCrazy o]][[WouldHurtAChild ka]].
* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: A victim of this. She spent so much time helping another student study (because of emotional blackmail) that she fell behind in her weaker school subjects and landed in Class E. [[spoiler:After Koro-sensei and others helped her get out of it, she was back on the right footing]].

!!!Tropes associated with Yada:

* BuxomIsBetter: She is the only girl in the class who has E-cups, having the largest bust of the girls, and is still growing. Her profile says she worries about the day when she'll go up a cup size. And she was voted as the second most popular girl by the boys during the Kyoto trip because of her breasts. The fact that not even Kayano dislikes her bust helps.
* CoolBigSis: Apparently. She tells Koro-sensei a sad story about her and her younger brother [[spoiler:to escape from jail during the tag game]]. The story is a lie, but it's unknown if she really has a younger brother.
* CrazyPrepared: Learning from Bitch-sensei, she starts carrying around different organizations' badges just in case.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 66. Has another one on Chapter 107, along with Kurahashi.

* EveryoneHatesMath: She's one of the eight/nine students who is weak in math.
* FilleFatale: In charm-school training and quite enthusiastic about it. She was the most focused when attending Bitch-sensei's courses, and decided to take the skills of infiltration (as in entertaining and negotiating) as her secondary weapon for her future.
* HoneyPot: G-rated version, but she did learn how to charm people from Bitch-sensei. She usually takes care of the role of negotiator on Class E's missions.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first few chapters she had a much more mild personality, smiling and chatting with other students normally. It was only later on that she developed into TheStoic.
* ColdSniper: Best marksmanship on the girls' side, and possibly the coldest, most businesslike student.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 68, along with Chiba.

* ExtremeDoormat: She never gives any excuses or complains, as revealed by Koro-sensei.
* GirlishPigtails: Since the Assassination Island arc.
* TheQuietOne: Doesn't talk often. Her few conversations are straightforward and to the point.

* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: It's revealed that she was a victim of this like Kataoka, and that's why she dropped into Class E.
* {{Tsundere}}: After saying the line "Don't get the wrong idea!" to [[spoiler:Itona]], [[AllMenArePerverts Okajima]] and [[{{Otaku}} Takebayashi]] [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] that's a typical ''tsundere'' line. Hayami usually doesn't act like a ''tsundere'', though, and her line doesn't make sense in context to be a ''tsundere'' line. It's more like those two really want it to be true.

----
!!!Tropes associated with Chiba:

* BlindingBangs: [[{{Irony}} They are actually the reason he shoots so well.]] Each strand of hair marks off a part of his field of vision, so he can use them in place of gun sights.
** In one chapter, however, this gives him the nickname "Adult Game Protagonist" due to the common habit of the protagonist in hentai games having a similar hairstyle.
* ColdSniper: Best marksmanship on the boys' side, and one of the most serious students. Though he smiles much more than Hayami.

[[spoiler:Ranked top in school for Social Studies, and placed 10th for composite score.]]
----
!!!Tropes associated with Isogai:

* AcademicAthlete: He's excellent in studying and sports. The only reason he's in Class E is because he broke the school rules by having a part-time job.
* TheAce: He seems to be good at every single thing he does, be it combat or studies. Asides from that, he also works part time to help his family, takes care of his younger siblings and is the class rep of Class E. No wonder why he is regarded In-Universe as one of the nicest and more trustworthy guys in the class, if not the whole manga. Similar to Karma, he is only in Class E because he broke the school rules.
** The first half of Chapter 90 is basically dedicated to establishing how awesome he is at everything.
* BadassInANiceSuit: As noted above, his combat skills are exceptional. He's also one of only two characters to wear the full school uniform, with both jacket and waistcoat (the other is Takebayashi).
* {{Bishounen}}: He's one of the boys who looks a bit effeminate, though not nearly as much as Nagisa. Also acknowledged in-universe to be the hottest guy in Class E.
* ChildhoodFriends: AllThereInTheManual states he and Maehara grew in the same neighbourhood and have been best friends since elementary school.
* ClassRepresentative: Together with Kataoka.
* ADayInTheLimelight: A little bit in chapter 51 to 53, along with Nakamura, Okuda and Kanzaki. Has a much bigger one in the arc from chapter 90 to 94.
* DisappearedDad: Supplementary material reveals his father to be deceased.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: When dealing with four particularly assholish students from the main school, Nagisa, Nakamura and Kanzaki all scare them off by holding pens or rulers against their necks. Isogai does the same thing, but with a single finger.
* HairAntennae: Has them, though he doesn't fit the personality type. His character profile says that people want to rip them out, so if you see him in fanart and another character is near him holding scissors or shears, that's why. Some bonus art shows it's also apparently genetic, given his younger siblings also have it.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Maehara, to the point AllThereInTheManual he has full knowledge of his entire dating history.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: What he wants to be when he grows up.
* KnifeNut: Best of the male students.
* TheLeader: Type IV. He's the second student considered as the leader because of his charisma and his helpfulness. Regarding his leadership skills, he uses the individual strengths of his classmates in benifit for the whole class and he supports them when needed.
* NiceGuy: He's a helpful boy with a friendly and cheerful personality. That's one of the reasons why he's so popular, even among the main building (female) students.
--> '''Maehara:''' "He's just a nice guy."
* SocialClimber: Of the idealistic variety. Though he comes from a poor family, according to his profile he wants to own a business some day.
* SpearCounterpart: To Kataoka. Both are the {{Class Representative}}s and {{The Leader}}s of Class E, are nice and helpful, good in basically everything, very popular and are ''ikemen''.
* SupportingLeader: The ClassRepresentative. The pole match between Class A and Class E starting in Chapter 91 is basically a fight between the two leaders of Isogai and Asano Jr.

!!!Tropes associated with Terasaka:

* TheAtoner: Becomes this after the pool arc.
* TheBigGuy: Does not have talent in assassination. But in Koro-sensei's words, he's had an amazing potential as an operational type assassin, he shines on physical strength and an ability to (and encourage others to) get things done.
* BookDumb: Since Terasaka is the only student who is particularly weak in multiple subjects, Koro-sensei decides to [[ShoutOut treat him like]] IdiotHero ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.
* TheBully: He used his tall and muscular body to suppress other students without fighting. This bit back when his grades became low enough that students in the main building are unimpressed with him, and now they bully him. He's still a bully, but not as bad as he used to be.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 46 to 49.
* {{Delinquent}}: He's a troublemaker who didn't take his grades seriously during his first two years at Kunugigaoka. Ironically, he was scorned by his former classmates for trying to get the other students to slack off instead of studying to stay out of Class 3-E.
* DumbMuscle: Has a habit of doing things without thinking. Subverted, though, as he isn't really dumb.
* EasilyForgiven: Terasaka does redeem himself for participating in Shiro's scheme during the Pool Arc, but nobody seems to remember that time when he convinced Nagisa to become a suicide bomber. Fortunately, Nagisa brushed off the incident as water under the bridge when the attempt was later referenced by Karasuma.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Those trope citations for TheBully, {{Delinquent}}, and {{Jerkass}} are well deserved, but he draws the line at [[spoiler: endangering the lives of his classmates by blowing up the pool they're in]].

* {{Jerkass}}: His basic MO, unfortunately.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He did learn to care more about his friends.
* MadeOfIron: Gets hit by one of Itona's [[spoiler:tentacles]], but he's able to endure it. In the Assassination Island arc, [[spoiler:he is also infected by the virus]], but he doesn't let anyone notice that and he still fights alongside with the other remaining students, due to sheer [[{{Determinator}} determination]] of [[TheAtoner an atoner]].
* TheMole: Briefly worked as one for Shiro so he could avoid drawing attention with his presence. [[spoiler: Quit once he found out just how little regard for Class E's lives Shiro had]].
* RealMenWearPink: [[spoiler:During the first term finals he gets a perfect score (and is tied for the top rank) in home economics]].

This has been in the process of changing a bit since he's taken a level in self-realization, but can still happen at random intervals.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 127 where she is the writer of the school play.

* {{Delinquent}}: She often hangs out with Terasaka and his friends.
* {{Expy}}: Her appearance is similar to [[Literature/TheRing Sadako]].
* NamesToTrustImmediately: Subverted. Her name sounds cute, but she didn't become a cute girl like her mother hoped, mostly because her mother is hysterical.

* BlackSheep: His family has been running a hospital for generations, and his two older brothers are studying in the Tokyo University, while Koutarou is in Class 3-E and isn't even accepted as a proper family member.

* TheMedic: During the Assassination Island arc with Okuda. He seems to have plenty knowledge in medicine. It's later revealed that his family has been running a hospital for generations.
* NerdGlasses[=/=]StoicSpectacles: He's a smart, quiet kid who wears large eyeglasses with opaque lenses. Coupled with his hairstyle, they make him look very much like nerd.
* OpaqueLenses: We never see his eyes through his glasses until the chapters 77 to 79 where he gets the focus.
* {{Otaku}}: Prefers 2D girls as they don't need more dimensions than that. He also has a strange method how to study: turning the information into an anime song parody!
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is one of the smarter students and the only boy who wears glasses.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: Koro-sensei takes off his glasses for a couple of panels, and he's revealed to be an absolute ''' stunner''' without them. Somewhat [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by the fact that Koro-sensei applied Visual Kei make up on him and styled his hair fashionably at the same time, but he did look much better without them.
* TheStoic: One of the most calm and serious students. He keeps his cool during the Assassination Island arc when [[spoiler:the other students are poisoned]] and he handles the situation professionally.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Although he doesn't appear often in the manga, save for epic one-liners, he was considered to be weak but destroying the principal's award and making a badass one-liner to Asano-kun made him a badass. Also, he is also the first student in Class E to legitimately anger the principal.]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:Gets out of Class E, and a makes a speech that makes him seem like an utter dickhead.]] [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], though. [[spoiler:The Chairman required he make that speech and outside that he remains respectful and has legitimate reasons for wanting out.

!!!Tropes associated with Nakamura:

* AcademicAthlete: In chapter 111, she claims that she got 100% on 6th Grade Tests when she was on 1st grade. And the reason she got to Class E is because she wants to know how it is to be normal.
* ADayInTheLimelight: A little bit in chapter 51 to 53 and 111, along with Okuda, Isogai and Kanzaki.
* GenkiGirl: She's playful and energetic whenever she gets screentime.

* ThePeepingTom: Subverted, when she peeps in the men's bath and [[AllMenArePerverts Okajima]] says that this is actually ''their'' job. However, it turns out that she wants to know how a naked Koro-sensei looks like, which would be helpful against him. It doesn't work, though.

* BadassBoast: "I am a pervert and you can despise me if you want. But because I ''am'' the most perverted guy out there, I know ''perversion can save the world''." Even his classmates are impressed by this line.
* ButtMonkey: The anime throws him into this role, especially in episode 5, when he ends up running into every hazard there is on a trip down the mountain.
* CameraFiend: He usually wants to take hot pictures of girls and women.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 56, parallel to Kurahashi.

* GunsAkimbo: [[spoiler:In chapter 89, when he manages to take down Karasuma in the shooting exercise.]]

* FantasySequence: Has one where she imagines Koro-sensei and Itona living together as children... in medieval times. They were separated from each other while fleeing an invasion. When asked why only one of them appears human, she [[HandWave Hand Waves]] it as "a mutation".
* GenkiGirl: Becomes especially excited when making up stories and relating scenarios to other mangas.
* KidDetective: Her specialty is solving mysteries, which she can do with either quick deductions or more general research, as when she tracks down [[spoiler:Itona]]'s history.
* MediumAwareness / LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Ultimately became the go-to character for dropping references to other manga and other fourth-wall awareness moments.

[[folder:Class 3-E - Transfer Students]]
The two transfer students are special assassins sent by the government to aid the assassination effort against Koro-sensei. Their physical capabilities have been scientifically enhanced and their personalities (and their bodies) are quite eccentric as a result. Since both assassins are officially registered students at Kunugigaoka, Koro-sensei, under the conditions of his contract, is not allowed to retaliate against either of them.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SakiFujita (Japanese)

A transfer student and a literal killing machine with the face of a girl, designed to operate the combined armaments on warships and warplanes, and adapted to kill Koro-sensei. She is the inferior assassin to fellow assassin Itona, but she is still one of the most dangerous students.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Ritsu:

* TheAce: She's the strongest student in terms of firepower.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Ristu is designed as a learning AI-unit dedicated to assassination with a carefully simulated and bounded personality. Decided she preferred being a Moe student against orders when she got a personality upgrade (although, still quite happy to lend a helping hand to try destroying Koro-sensei).[[note]]This is more due to recognizing that working with the students is the better solution than simply spraying gunfire every period, rather than any actual liking for being Moe, however.[[/note]]
* ArcVillain: In chapter 20 to 22.[[note]]She had a HeelFaceTurn in chapter 21 and wasn't a villain anymore in chapter 22.[[/note]]
* ArmCannon: Several, which she can freely customize inside her body.
* AttackDrone: Her body is a [[TheMonolith monolith-shaped box]] with a screen which displays her face. Contains several customizable firearms and her AI, which can analyze Koro-sensei's movements and adjust her attack pattern accordingly.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's able to recalculate her firing patterns based on Koro-sensei's movements so that her next barrage of fire lands a hit.
* BadassBoast: After blowing off Koro-sensei's index finger, she delivers this:
--> '''Ritsu:''' "The killing probability of the next shot is less than 0.001%. The killing probability of the shot after that is less than 0.003%. The probability that I'll be able to kill you by graduation is more than 90%."
* CharacterDevelopment: Hilariously done within three chapters, from an EmotionlessGirl to a GenkiGirl with an own will. It should be noted that Koro-sensei invokes this trope.
* ComputerVoice: Speaks in a cold, computerized monotone. Her tone becomes more friendly and less mechanical when her personality is upgraded.
* CostumePorn: She wears fitting costumes for every situation. During the Assassination Island arc, she cosplays Ai from ''Manga/CatsEye''.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Ritsu may be an evolving machine capable of being a one-machine-firing-squad, with guns she can change the shape of at whim, but use some duct tape to keep the gunports closed and she's nothing more than a talking brick.
* CryCute: PlayedForLaughs, just to show how emotional she has become from her EmotionlessGirl state.
-->'''Kataoka''' (''to Terasaka'')''':''' "''Geez, you made her cry.''"\\
'''Hara''' (''to Terasaka'')''':''' "''Terasaka-kun made a 2D girl cry.''"
* EmotionlessGirl: Justified, she's a machine. However, it didn't last long, and she became a cheerful girl within a night, thanks to Koro-sensei who upgraded her. She even cries now.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: She's from Norway, technically.
* FullNameBasis: Everyone called her by her full moniker, with a -san for good measure, until they just shorten it to Ritsu.
* FunSize: Mobile Ritsu appears on smartphone displays.
* GenkiGirl: Post-upgrade, she becomes very cheerful and more sociable with the rest of the class.
* GirlishPigtails: Gains two long pigtails on the back of her head with her personality upgrade.
* GunsAkimbo: And she has more than two arms.
* TheGunslinger: She uses only guns, [[MorphWeapon and capable of changing their shape]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Originally a loner who tried to assassinate Koro-sensei without caring about the other students. After Koro-sensei upgraded her, and helped her recognize that working with the students was a more assured way of killing Koro-sensei, she is now one of the TrueCompanions.
* HollywoodHacking: She has high hacking skills since she is a AI and she hacked every cell phone of her classmates to download herself, giving them a mobile version of herself called "Mobile Ritsu", which is very useful for the class. During the Assassination Island arc, she hacks the secure system of the Fukuma Hotel Palace.
** [[spoiler: The God of Death turns this around on her mobile version, due to its lessened security.]]
* InSeriesNickname: "Ritsu", since she has an OverlyLongName.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: A minor version - the reason she rebels against her creators and keeps the program updates Koro-sensei gave her, even after her physical ones are mostly removed, is because she wants to work with her classmates and have a better chance at killing Koro-sensei.
* LoopholeAbuse: Koro-sensei's agreement as a teacher directly states he is not allowed to harm any of the students; that agreement says nothing on whether or not the "student" is human or not. The definitions of "harm" are extended, however, to preventing Ritsu from being upgraded, after Koro-sensei went so far with her initially.
* MatterReplicator: She is able to mold a special plastic inside her body into many different forms, even things like replicas of statues and flower bouquets.
* MachineMonotone: Part of being an EmotionlessGirl. And as being an actual machine, anyway. [[{{SubvertedTrope}} Koro-sensei gives her a much more natural voice so as to be more acceptable to the students]].
* MeaningfulName: Actually it's a ''literal'' name.
* MissionControl: Her role in the Assassination Island arc. An unusual example, as she is present with the other attack members all the time, just in her mobile form.
* MoreDakka: She uses shotguns and machine guns; due to the guns being connected to a supply of anti-sensei bullets, this means that she can fire them at max capacity without ever slowing down.
** This receives a bit of a deconstruction, in that when Ritsu first showed this off she pelted the other students more than Koro-sensei. This wasn't out of mis-aiming, but rather that, since Koro-sensei can move at Mach 20 in an enclosed space, it was all but ''required'' to learn how to hurt him. Since all she was firing were anti-sensei bullets, no bystanders were actually hurt, but it was enough that Terasaka taped her gun ports closed so the other students could actually ''learn''.
* MorphWeapon: Her guns are made from a type of plastic she forms inside of herself, though she's not limited to just making weapons out of it.
* MsFanservice: While she had a full-sized LCD screen, she gave Suguya an answer in class by writing the answer on her thigh. She is also associated with CostumePorn.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: She is one of the most dangerous students and her main body has multiple arms.
* NerdGlasses: Her second ''Literature/SherlockHolmes''' cosplay.
* NewTransferStudent: In chapter 20, the politicians announced that two new transfer students would join the class. Ritsu is the first of the two.
* OverlyLongName: Jiritsu Shikou Kotei Houdai, or Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery in English.
* ThePromise: Ritsu upholding her promise to shape flowers for the other students is what proves to them that she's not a mere machine, and that she survived the reboot her creators tried to foist onto her.
* RobotGirl: A hilarious and original variation. Unlike other {{Robot Girl}}s, Ritsu doesn't have a humanoid body, but its rather a huge box with weapons. Koro-sensei initially tried to give her a full LCD screen to make her seem more natural, but by default she simply has a screen that displays her face and little else.
* ScreensAreCameras: We get a vision from her perspective a couple of times, and each time is from the screen of her main body. However, it's hard to tell if the trope is being played straight or if Ritsu genuinely has a camera inside her screen, considering all the other advances about her.
* ShortHairWithTail: Most of her hair is in a bob haircut, but two long "tails" are grown out on both sides.
* TechnoBabble: Justified, she's an AI.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Goes from a EmotionlessGirl to a GenkiGirl thanks to Koro-sensei's upgrades. Her creators wanted to turn her from her cheerful personality to her emotionless killer machine again. However, she was able to save and hide her memories from them and retaining her personality.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Mobile Ritsu is this.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Provides an interesting example.
** Koro-sensei initially saw her as just a machine, but after she proved capable of evolving to match his tactics, he took a genuine interest in making her a proper student at his own monetary expense. He even refers to her creators as her "parents".
** The students, like Koro-sensei, didn't initially see her as anything more than an annoying machine. Her upgrade by Koro-sensei helped with this, though the class was still split due to the fact that much of her interactions were just considered programming. It was only when she proved willing to defy her creators to keep her programming, something neither her creators nor Koro-sensei had programmed into her to do or how to do, that everyone saw her as a student and ally.
** Her creators, however, see her as nothing more than a machine that will advance warfare and their own careers, caring nothing for the friendly and warm artificial intelligence that can actually hold conversations with people being developed within their war machine.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has purple hair.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade A, during the times when her human visual representation is rendered as a full body.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiOgata (Japanese)

The second transfer student who was sent to assassinate Koro-sensei. He's the superior assassin to Ritsu, and he's a creature similar to Koro-sensei who refers to him as his "brother".

* TheAce: The most dangerous and most lethal student in the class. The reason, why he's transferred to the class after Ritsu, was because she was "significantly inferior" to him.
** BrokenAce: [[spoiler:He was already broken before receiving his power. And then he's abandoned by Shiro after losing three times to Koro-sensei, he gets even more broken. Fortunately, Koro-sensei and the class help him out of his crisis.]]

* AllMenArePerverts: Like Koro-sensei, he loves big boobs.
* ArcVillain: In his introductory arc (chapter 29 to 32), then in the Pool arc (chapter 46 to 49), [[spoiler:and the final Itona arc (chapter 83 to 87)]].
* {{Badass}}: The only one who could fight Koro-sensei in man-to-man combat until being BroughtDownToNormal.
* BigEater[=/=]SweetTooth: Has the same love of sweets as Koro-sensei. He's seen eating a whole pile of them before his showdown with Koro-sensei.
* BrainsAndBrawn: He fights Koro-sensei with his enourmous strength, while his handler Shiro makes the plans and preparations for his battles.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Has his tentacles removed in chapter 87. After Shiro abandoned him, he no longer had the ability to recharge them, so they would have killed him otherwise.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Even about people he somewhat likes, he always says exactly what he thinks of them (and the disgusting ramen they give him for free).
* CastFromHitPoints: His tentacles give him great power to fight in par with Koro-sensei when the latter is in disadvantage, [[spoiler:but they need a lot of energy and cause immense pain and stress to his body and brain that he needs rare and expensive medicine on a daily basis to stay alive. The tentacles drain so much energy from his brain that he's unable to use his high intelligence and learning ability]].
* CatchPhrase: ''"Sore dake de ii."'' It gets translated in a couple different ways, but it generally means "That alone is enough." If he weren't a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} it would be more like a MadnessMantra.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He just doesn't think like most people.
* CombatTentacles: He has the same tentacles like Koro-sensei on his head[[spoiler:until chapter 87]].
* CripplingOverspecialization: The tentacles, while providing him great strenght and power, severely limited his intellect and decision making prowess, forcing to him to attack mercilessly without any chance of overcoming any setback. No wonder the planning was done completely by Shiro.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:After his HeelFaceTurn]], chapter 88 focuses on his [[spoiler:integration in the class]]. He later gets a shining moment in chapter 94, [[spoiler:bringing his class the victory in boutaoshi]].
* {{Delinquent}}: [[spoiler:Is now hanging around with Terasaka and his friends.]]
* DemotedToExtra: He gets a few scenes after [[spoiler:joining Class-E]], but quickly falls into almost voiceless extra territory.
* TheDragon: To his handler Shiro [[spoiler:until being abandoned by him]].
* DynamicEntry: Is first introduced by walking straight through a wall, demolishing it and then calmly taking his seat.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he is officially introduced, he crushed through the wall and saying that he was victorious against the wall because he was stronger. That shows his obsession with winning.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: The most obvious sign of his inhuman nature. At first they had multiple rings, but by his second arc they had mutated to have two pupils instead.
* ExpositoryHairStyleChange: To demonstrate his increase in strength, a part of his hair and his tentacles become black. The number of tentacles on his head are reduced in favor of fewer but stronger ones.
** [[spoiler:The tentacles get WhipSword covers but only for one chapter.]]
** His hair becomes significantly shorter after [[spoiler: his HeelFaceTurn]], which he covers up with a large bandana.
* FirstNameBasis: He is also one of the students who is called by his first name.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why he is so obsessed with winning and and having tentacles is because [[spoiler:his parents abandoned him after their company went bankrupt, and his schoolmates bullied him for bein a loser. That's why he accepted Shiro's offer to gain power to become a winner.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: Demonstrates a knack for gadgetry [[spoiler:after losing the tentacles which were impairing his higher brain functions and joining the class for real.]]
* GeniusBruiser: Not at first, [[spoiler:but after he loses his tentacles, he shows a great deal of intelligence, as well as retaining excellent physical abilities]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:He officially joins the class for real in chapter 87, now being in Terasaka's group.]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[spoiler:Due to being abandoned by his real parents (and later Shiro) he has (to use a quote from ''Manga/MedakaBox'') an "abnormal need to be abnormal", which helped him withstand the painful experiments Shiro performed on him. Unfortunately his strength is also what could kill him -- the tentacles use a lot of energy and if he doesn't let go of them and his need to be special he'll ''disintegrate''.]]
* KryptoniteFactor: The same rubbery material that harms Koro-sensei harms him.
* NewTransferStudent: In chapter 20, the politicians announced that two new transfer students would join the class. Itona is the second of the two, who joins the class in chapter 29.
* ParentalAbandonment:
** [[spoiler:After he failed to kill Koro-sensei a third time, his guardian Shiro abandons him in the end of chapter 84.]]
** [[spoiler:His real parents abandoned him before he was discovered by Shiro due to their cellphone parts business going bankrupt.]]
* PerpetualFrowner: Of the focused and serious variety. He only shows the slightest hint of a smile once, and it may have been a trick of the camera angle.
* PrehensileHair: Made of tentacles.
* PutOnABus: Happens frequently to him, since his personality is unstable and Shiro tutors him in his home.
** TheBusCameBack: Of course he comes back. Like in the Pool arc. [[spoiler:Or in chapter 76. And then finally in chapter 83.]]
* TheRival: To ''everyone'' in the class [[spoiler:until his HeelFaceTurn]].
* {{Samurai}}: In Ritsu's flashback, when both of them trained together, he was wearing a samurai armor and used a katana. He has never been seen like that again.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A white, furry muffler. Sometimes he wears it into battle, sometimes he doesn't. [[spoiler:After joining the class, he ditches the scarf in favor of a bandana.]]
* SmugSuper: He looks down on the other students, but he ''is'' stronger than them, and he is the only one who can fight Koro-sensei from man to man. He gets better.
* ThereWasADoor: His classmates' reaction when he was introduced. He thinks otherwise about it.
-->'''Itona:''' "I... am victorious. I have proven myself to be stronger than this classroom's walls."
* ThousandYardStare: His default expression.
* {{Tykebomb}}: A young boy who has powers similar to Koro-sensei transfers into the class in order to kill Koro-sensei. His handler also follows him in because he's rather AxCrazy.
** DefusingTheTykebomb: Koro-sensei tries to accomplish this. [[spoiler:Later, he and the students have to in order to save his life. They succeed.]]
* UnstoppableRage: It's implied that he's uncontrollable if he goes berserk, so Shiro has to stop him before it happens.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's a major puzzle piece in the mystery part of the storyline. [[spoiler:Now that he has joined the class, he's really a WalkingSpoiler]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: He shared Koro-sensei's weaknesses, [[spoiler:including water]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Shiro abandons him when he realizes he'll never defeat Koro-Sensei even with tentacles that use ''three nuclear powerplants worth of energy''; and not only that he uses Itona as "bait" to keep Koro-sensei in one place and distracted while his team fires at them.]]

[[folder:Class 3-A]]
The tip top of the student body of Kunugigaoka Junior High. Led by the Chairman's son Gakushuu Asano.
----
!!!Tropes associated with multiple Class 3-A students:
* {{The Ace}}s: The Five Virtuosos are the top in their respective subjects. And come with the requisite ego to match. The four foreign exchange students are top class sportsmen.
* {{The Big Guy}}s[=/=]{{The Brute}}s: The four foreign exchange students are ridiculously huge and they are top sportsmen.
* CharacterDevelopment: When they're [[spoiler: completely trounced by Class E for the second semester exams]], they all realize [[spoiler: that the principal was wrong and humbly accept their defeat, realizing that the system is wrong.]]
* {{Dumb Muscle}}s: The four exchance students are called for the sports festival, so Class 3-A has an athletic and physical advantage against Class 3-E. The four leave the thinking to Asano.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Asano calls four foreign top sportsmen to transfer to his school, so his class can defeat Class 3-E in the sports festival.
* OnlyOneName: The four exchange students.
* [[RichBitch Rich Bastards]]: Four of the five virtuosos don't care about the holidays trip because their families travel to better places and Asano's family has a maid and a chauffeur. All of them are huge assholes.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: The snobs to Class 3-A's slobs.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The four foreign exchange students are 15 years old like the rest of the class, but they look much older. No wonder that some characters doubt their age.

----
!!Gakushuu Asano
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamoruMiyano (Japanese)

Student council president of Kunugigaoka junior high school, the top scorer of the Five Virtuosos who have the highest scores in the school, and son of chairman Gakuhou Asano. He is every bit as domineering as his father, but lacks his sense of greater purpose. Before the first term finals, he leads class A, comprised of the school's top students, in a massive group study session to ensure class E cannot upset the school's established system at his father's behest.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Asano:
* TheAce: Ranked either first or second in ''all'' his subjects during the Final Exam arc. Also speaks multiple languages and displays astonishing martial arts ability.
* AntagonisticOffspring[=/=]EvilerThanThou: His relationship with his father is basically this. He wants to keep his father like a pet, while his father intends to make him a corporate slave for the rest of his life. One has to wonder what the mother is like. Although it's shown in chapzer 94 that Asano Sr. is worse.
* ArcVillain: In chapters 50 to 54. He returns to this role in chapter 90 to 94.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler: After Chairman Asano is basically brought back from the edge after Korosensei beats his workbook/grenade challenge, he and Asano Jr. bond by talking about how much money they're going to make by suing each other.]]
* BadassBookworm: Is revealed to have some martial art skills and he can even [[spoiler:puts the boys of Class 3-E in trouble]].
* {{Bishounen}}: The only one of two good looking students in the entire main building.
* BreakTheHaughty: Hit with this in chapter 54, with his father rubbing salt into the wound.
* CunningLinguist: In chapter 90, he's seen speaking English, French, Korean and Portuguese with astonishing ease.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** On the wrong side of this trope. Even his fellow Virtuosos, none of them pleasant people, think of him as black-hearted.
** On the right side, Asano is increasingly disgusted of his father, who is the worst person in the whole series. [[spoiler: His father making his classmates into motivated vengeful zombies just to defeat Class E became the last straw for him, and actually begs Class E to stop his father.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: Like father like son. Of course the easiest way to beat your dad in your little info war is... an extended examination beat-down contest with Class E to force them to tell you what he's hiding? The thought to ask never crosses his mind.
* LastNameBasis: With his own father, though this isn't too uncommon in formal settings. Also, everyone else calls him by his last name, too. To distinguish him from his father, the chairman is always referred with his title before his name.
* MagneticHero: Or at least, Magnetic Leader. Somehow he has a lot of friends from around the world who show real loyalty to him on multiple occasions.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "excels at study." His father knew exactly what he was going for when he named him.
* OnlySaneMan: He was the most insightful when noticing all the strange happenings around Class E. [[spoiler: He was the only person unaffected by his father's brainwashing for the finals, given that his father dismissed him earlier in his classroom.]]
* OverlordJr: The son of Chairman Asano.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Receives one from his father in chapter 54 after [[spoiler:losing the bet with Class E. Asano's father mocks his plan to turn him into a pet when he couldn't even win against people his own age.]]
** Happens again by the same person 40 chapters later.
* TheRival: To Karma in the First Semester's Final Exam arc, and to Isogai in the Sports Festival arc.
* TheSociopath: He's inherited most of the traits his father displays, in particular the charisma and callous manipulative behavior.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Asano is a dead ringer for a younger Chairman Asano.
* YouMonster: His reaction to his father's metaphorical NightmareFace.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AnriKatsu (Japanese), Creator/JoshGrelle (English)

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked second in the school, specializing in social studies. As head of the broadcasting club, he had a few cameos before being formally introduced. He was one of the speakers in the May school assembly, and the announcer in the exhibition baseball match.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Araki:

* MouthOfSauron: Though it's not any kind of official capacity, most of the time when he appears he's the one implementing Asano's vision of the school by inciting the other students to mock Class-E, since the chairman himself doesn't often involve himself in the day-to-day lives of his students.
* SmarmyHost: Makes constant obviously disparaging comments about Class-E in his speeches.
* TheRival: To Isogai in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding social studies.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: In his first appearance, in chapter 11, if you didn't notice he was wearing a student uniform you might think he was a member of the faculty.

----
!!Ren Sakakibara

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked third in the school, specializing in Japanese.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Sakakibara:

* {{Bishounen}}: Not as much as Asano due to his rather odd hairstyle.
* CasanovaWannabe: He enjoys flirting with girls, and he flirts with Kanzaki, too.
* TheRival: To Kanzaki in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding Japanese.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Though, he is still pretty arrogant, he just doesn't badmouth Class-E that much than the others.

----
!!Natsuhiko Koyama

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked fifth in the school (Karma took the fourth place ranking), specializing in science. Prior to the first term finals, appeared only in Terasaka's pre-class E flashbacks.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Koyama:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Even the other Virtuosos don't seem to care for his presence very much.
* {{Gonk}}: With his extremely crooked teeth, bizarre eyes and grotesque expressions, he really sets the bar for ugliness high.
* NightmareFace: How he's introduced. It's soon revealed to be his default expression.
* TheRival: To Okuda in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding science.
* UnknownRival: To Karma in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding the rank of the fourth best student.
* VictoryIsBoring: Feels no satisfaction from [[spoiler:beating Karma in the finals, because Karma screwed himself over by not studying.]]

!!Tomoya Seo

One of the Five Virtuosos, ranked sixth in the school, specializing in English. Was also Kaho Tsuchiya's boyfriend for a brief time before a prank by class E caused them to break up.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Seo:

* ForeignExchangeStudent: Not currently, but spent a year abroad in Los Angeles because of his parents' work.
* {{Jerkass}}: Beyond the normal non-class E unkindness, he is verbally abusive even to members of his own class while he tutors them. And to old peole, too.
* {{Pride}}: Has a strange, almost obsessive vanity. When sitting under an awning in the rain he remarks, apropos of nothing, about what a sense of superiority it gives him to be in the only dry area.
* TheRival: To Nakamura in the First Semester's Final Exam arc regarding English.

----
!!Kevin

The American National Junior Football representative.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kevin:

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Kunugigaoka Junior High School Other]]
!!Kazutaka Shindou

Captain on the baseball club, able to pitch fastballs on the level of pro players.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Shindou:

* TheAce: How he sees himself and his team members, who all excel in both military arts (sports) and literary arts (study). He refers to them as chosen ones.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's prone of making boasts.
* BluntYes: To when Karma questions whether he really is a chosen one.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He and the whole baseball team by Chairman Asano during the game. The chairman uses only his choice of words and charisma to manipulate their minds, so they are entirely focused on winning and act like berserkers.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His pitches are incredibly fast for a middle schooler, but since he only has two, class E was able to counter and manipulate him easily until the Chairman mixed things up.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Sugino, with a power vs. technique dynamic. He acknowledges it after Class E wins the exhibition match.
* HeelFaceTurn: The first main school student to openly help class E, even if only in a small way. Then again, the baseball club was always less malicious towards class E than the rest of the school. They mostly limited themselves to a few insensitive comments and being typical arrogant jocks.
* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: He always wanted to introduce a group of people like an over-the-top announcer. He gets his chance with the Five Virtuosos.
* LargeHam: He really enjoys being overly dramatic.
* MindControlEyes: When "brainwashed" by Chairman Asano.
* TheSouthpaw: He pitches with his left hand.
* WorthyOpponent: Shindou considers Sugino as one, to the point of warning him of Class A's antics.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiGotou (Tanaka) and Creator/MasahitoYabe (Takada) (Japanese)

Nagisa's two former classmates, [[AllThereInTheManual Tanaka and Takada]], who are in Class 3-D. They are pathetic {{Gonk}}s who believe (like everyone else) they are superior to the students in Class E, but they are close to falling into this very class themselves.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Tanaka and Takada:
* AllThereInTheManual: Their names.
* BlatantLies: When they harass Nagisa because they didn't like how happy he seemed, they corner him. When he doesn't seem threatened or bothered by them, they threaten his life. All it takes is a non-threatening WhamLine and a DeathGlare on Nagisa's part to scare them off. Then they go and tell everyone that ''they were the ones given a death threat.''
* ButtMonkey: They never get luck in their life.
* FatBastard: Tanaka.
* {{Gonk}}: Like most other non-Class 3-E students, they are ugly.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: The hetero part is a bit doubtful; for some reason, [[http://www.mangareader.net/assassination-classroom/52/15 they are apparently closer]] [[HoYay than normal friends]].
* NerdGlasses: Takada.
* NoNameGiven: The story never reveals their names.
* OneSteveLimit:
** Class 3-A has a student with the name Tanaka.
** Their last name themselves sound very similar.
* StrawLoser:
** They are proud that are not in Class E, yet their grades are so low that they ''could'' fall into that very class, they hate. The irony, Class 3-E is already able to compete with [[spoiler:Class 3-A]].
** They watch the baseball match between the Class 3-E boys and the baseball team to feel better after their own loss against another class. After Class 3-E wins, they are pissed of and claim that the match was boring.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They appear always together and have no distinct characterization that tell them apart.

----
!!Kaho Tsuchiya

A girl from the main school. Has or tries to have at least three different boyfriends over the course of her short appearances, mainly just for the sake of having one.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Tsuchiya:

* BadLiar: Lies often, about anything and everything that may cause her embarrassment. It's always obvious when she does, but Seo at least is perfectly happy to let it slide.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Though she tries to pass herself off as merely playful, her spite for everyone who isn't useful to her is clear.
* TriangRelations: With Maehara as A, her as B and Seo as C, a type 4... Until the rest of class E decided to get involved, at which point it became nothing.
* YourCheatingHeart: Maintains multiple boyfriends at once as a matter of convenience. When two of them find out about each other, she casually dumps the more disposable one (class E's Maehara) on the spot.

----
!!Kokona Tagawa

A false friend of Megu Kataoka.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kokona:

* AllJustADream: In a dream, she visits a beautiful moonlit oasis where a bunch of mythical, fish-like creatures teach her how to swim. What she never finds out is that [[InvertedTrope it really happened]]: The oasis was actually Class-E's private mountainside pool while the creatures were really just Koro-sensei, Kataoka, Nagisa, and Kayano disguised in [[PaperThinDisguise ridiculous yet adequately convincing costumes]].
* BookDumb: She forces Kataoka to help her studies.
* {{Blackmail}}: She blames Kataoka for nearly drowning in the ocean because she "didn't teach her how to swim properly" despite it's her own fault. She forces Kataoka to help her studying because of this event.
* FanDisservice: Licking on Kataoka's arm. And Kokona's face isn't pretty at all.
* GirlishPigtails
* ManipulativeBitch
* SuperDrowningSkills: Until Kataoka teaches her how to swim properly.
* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: To Kataoka.
* TooDumbToLive: Even though Kataoka told her that she needed more swimming practice, Kokona still swam in the ocean and nearly drowned.

----
!!Kunudon
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KurumiMamiya (Japanese), Mary Morgan (English)

Kunugigaoka Academy's mascot, a cartoon sawtooth oak acorn (after which the school is named).
----
!!!Tropes associated with Kunudon:

* AscendedExtra: In the manga, Kunudon only appears in the extra pages in the volumes. In the anime he appears to explain the information from those extras.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: To the public, he's a saccharine cartoon character concerned with everyone being happy and having fun. But when he's talking about class E, he's basically a drill instructor who treats them like trash.
* BlatantLies: According to Kunudon, Kunugigaoka is a place where everyone is treated as equals, and every day is fun.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShoHayami (Japanese), Chris Rager (English)

The chairman (principal in the Viz and Funimation versions) of Kunugigaoka Junior High School.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Chairman Asano:

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: He punches his son in chapter 123, though in fairness he was in a very emotional state at the time and his son deliberately provoked him.]]
* TheAce: He's inhumanly skilled in a wide range of subjects and can teach any subject better than specialized teachers, to the point that several characters consider him a 'monster' not unlike Koro-sensei; it's made clear that he's in charge of a school only because of his devotion to education, and if he really wanted he could have become Prime Minister with ease. [[spoiler: In fact, his first students nicknamed him "Mister Perfection" because of this.]]
* AnimalMotifs: The chairman's motif is a centipede.
* ArchnemesisDad[=/=]EvilerThanThou: He treats his son pretty much how you'd expect given how he treats his students. His son responds in kind. They have a lot in common. Although it's shown in chapzer 94 that Asano Sr. is worse.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler: After Chairman Asano is basically brought back from the edge after Korosensei beats his workbook/grenade challenge, he and Asano Jr. bond by talking about how much money they're going to make by suing each other. The last thing he says to Asano Jr. is that they'll go file their complaints ''together''.]]
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler:Effortlessly destroys the four foreign students that his son had called for their physical abilities when they talk back to him.]]
* BigBad: Of the school life side of the story. Every single problem class E faces originates from him.
** NonActionBigBad: So far he hasn't shown any extraordinary physical abilities, though with his charisma and manipulation he is a significant impediment regardless. [[spoiler:In chapter 94 the four foreign exchange students find out [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the hard way]] that he's a very capable and brutal fighter too.]]
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: He lost his ultimate bet against Koro-Sensei. That said, it seems he has mellowed out even if only a little.]]
* [[spoiler: BrokenAce: Originally a kind teacher who only wanted to educate his students into becoming good people, he became convinced that strength of will was the only virtue worth teaching after one of them committed suicide as a result of bullying.]]
* DissonantSerenity: When speaking to Takaoka about why he failed to use fear to teach his class effectively, '''[[NightmareFuel there is imagery of a centipede crawling down Takaoka's throat!]]''' And Takaoka is a trained military soldier!
* TheEndJustifiesTheMeans: The Principal makes Class E the school's pariahs because it means the other students will do anything to keep their grades up and not get sent there.
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: His backstory retroactively makes him one to Koro-sensei, which is made explicit in chapter 126. He was originally an impossibly talented oddball teacher. Then when one of his first students died he became an impossibly talented oddball SadistTeacher. Basically, he's what would happen if Koro-sensei went bad.]]
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Years ago, he wore his hair straight and limp, but [[spoiler:after a student of his died and he had his FaceHeelTurn, he rearranged it into the harsh, spiky bangs that he has in the present. Note that even after his reconciliation with Koro-sensei he doesn't change it back.]]
* FallenHero: [[spoiler:In chapter 125 it is revealed that when the chairman first started teaching, he was a hyper-competent and caring educator not unlike Koro-sensei. However, after one of his students committed suicide because he could not tolerate the high school bullying inflicted upon him, the chairman began to question his own teaching methods and concluded that VirtueIsWeakness. Over time, he [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis became his own antithesis]].]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Koro-sensei contrast each other greatly. Where Koro-sensei is a monster intent on destroying the world, Chairman Asano wants to improve the world through education. Yet strangely, Koro-sensei is goofy, but kind, while Chairman Asano is strict and incredibly cruel.
* FollowInMyFootsteps: His son, Gakushuu, is basically like him. They have a... disturbing relationship, with one intent on keeping the other as a corporate slave and the other treating his father like a pet.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: He was originally a wonderful teacher who accepted that people had faults, and only wanted his students to grow into good people. However, when one of them committed suicide after being bullied too much, he realized that being good was worthless and for his students to survive, they needed to be strong.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: His brainwashing tactics come back to bite him hard during the finals. Because of his brainwashing, Class A got carried away by their bloodlust, which gave them tremendous intensity early on in the tests. But they couldn't keep it up through all the finals and ended up losing their focus later on, which led to them losing to Class E completely.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Refuses to compromise his beliefs or education method, even with the world at risk.
* HotGuysAreBastards: Pretty good looking. And a total prick.
* IdiotBall: Suffice to say. Beating down the confidence of the only people in a legitimate position to end a world ending threat that will destroy ALL LIFE on the planet within a year is a terrible idea. If they fail due to, say a lack of confidence in their own abilities thanks to a systematic destruction, then he's equally culpable for the destruction of the human race in order to preserve his ideals as a teacher which favors grades over individuals. Worse, if they succeed? Then a phenomenally rich, highest quality assassin who has the favor of every government on the planet, the assistance of several of the worlds best assassins and an overtly obvious reason to HATE the principal for making their junior highschool years a living hell, has every reason to ruin/kill him with every resource available to them and basically no one to tell them not to. Anyone with real authority knows they saved the world, right?
* InsaneTrollLogic: The Chairman of the school is more interested in preserving his system than ''keeping Koro-sensei from destroying the world.''
** It's in the genes: his son's got it, too.
* InstantExpert: Surpassed a black belt in karate in three days after losing once, because he felt that losing twice would be like dying.
* JerkAss
** JerkAssHasAPoint: His cruelty is without measure and he manipulates the students, but aside from the discrimination and sabotage the lessons he's teaching do have their points. [[spoiler:As he explains to Koro-Sensei when he allowed one student from Class 3-E to transfer out.]]
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Anything he can do to ensure that his system works will be done, from personally teaching the content of an upcoming midterm to all students except Class 3-E to hiring a SadistTeacher to make sure Class 3-E's grades drop dramatically.
** And when said SadistTeacher failed to live up to expectations [[spoiler:e.g. beaten by Nagisa]], he swiftly ejects them in order to deny the students the satisfaction of kicking him out.
** The way how he works as the baseball team's substitute coach is basically brainwashing.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: See the matching entry at the top of the page. Ironically, he is named after the person whose death by seppuku UsefulNotes/The47Ronin sought revenge over.
** Not that ironically: the guy was considered rather abrasive and quite a nasty piece of work both in contemporary sources and since. That he got judicially murdered wasn't that much of a surprise, considering the stuff he pulled. The honor doesn't lie in the 47 defending the memory of a just man, but keeping their word and allegiance beyond his death.
* NightmareFace: A metaphorical one, but he faces his son with a very creepy, alien-like looking face with very gross, strange-positioned eyes, scary teeth and even teeth on his necklace. Asano Jr.'s YouMonster reaction indeed.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:To the four foreign exchange students, who are largely built athletes, but still teenagers.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Goes forehead-to-forehead with the coach of the baseball club (pretending to check for a fever) when threatening to fire him because class E is winning the exhibition game against them.
* ThePowerOfHate: Chapter 94 reveals that he believes this is a key part of learning from defeat. The feelings of hatred and humiliation stemming from a loss is what drives the losers to do better next time.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:In chapter 123, after revealing that all of Class-E reach the top 50 and lost to Class-A, his son gave him this but this result in him punching his own son as [[SoreLoser he doesn't take it well]].]]
* SadistTeacher: It is known that he teaches classes. Even though he isn't a teacher of Class-E, he is a bastard to them.
* SharpDressedMan[=/=]BadassInANiceSuit: Very sharp. The literal angularity of his suit makes him stand out a lot. [[spoiler:Heaven help you if he [[TheCoatsAreOff loosens so much as a single button]]]].
* SignatureLaugh: Fufufu.
* TheSociopath: He has not even the slightest shred of remorse or empathy for the students whose lives he actively tries to ruin. He also has the superficial charm and manipulation ability aspects of the disorder down pat.
* SoreLoser: In the most extreme way possible. The best example is in chapter 123. [[spoiler:Class 3-A lost because they couldn't concentrate on the second half of the exam as they lost the 'bloodlust' that the chairman had whipped up on them. When his son gives Class 3-A TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, he doesn't take it and slaps him when everyone in Class 3-A approves of Class 3-E's abilities and asks him to transfer them to Class 3-E if he's not happy. This also results everyone in Class 3-A leaving him.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: Fires Takaoka for his violent way of teaching much to Class 3-E's delight.
** KillSteal: The other reason was to strip class 3-E of their victory, and to remind them that ''he'' is the one in charge.
* VillainousBreakdown: Suffers from one BIG TIME after [[spoiler: Class E defeats Class A in the second term exams. He attempts to destroy the Class E building, kill Koro-sensei and place Class E in what is essentially a prison.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's respected and liked by the students and teachers of the main building, but he's a huge JerkAss to Class 3-E, treating them in a way that is actually violating the school system of Japan. Not only he aproved Takaoka's violent punishment methods until they became ineffective, he also [[spoiler:beat the hell out of the four exchange students]] which is definitely illegal and criminal.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His system intends to ensures that 95% of the students become highly successful in their studies... by treating the other 5% like absolute garbage. Considering his sociopathy, YMMV as to whether this is actually well intentioned, or if it is simple a bid for glory.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He beat the hell of the four exchange students, who still are technically teenagers.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He fired Takaoka. His objection wasn't even with Takaoka's [[spoiler:use of violence as a teaching method.]] While he disapproved of it, the reason he stepped in was because [[spoiler:Nagisa beat Takaoka in their fight,]] which meant the class would never be afraid of Takaoka again.

Irina's teacher. A man who handles contracts for assassins around the world, as well as using his wealth of knowledge and experience to train the next generation of professional killers.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Lovro:

* DrillSergeantNasty: His introduction has him hanging Irina from the ceiling with a rope because he thinks she's gotten too lax. But with the students, his methods are much more moderated.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:In chapter 76, he was seemingly killed by the God of Death. He was just sent in a coma and has recovered.]]
* RetiredBadass: He used to be a skilled assassin, but age has taken its toll. [[spoiler:Still manages to survive an attack by the assassin, "God of Death," though so he's still pretty tough.]]

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaitenKusunoki (Japanese)

A sniper obsessed with the color red. He was one of the hitmen who were hired by the government to assassinate Koro-sensei in Kyoto. After he failed, Koro-sensei, who already noticed, thanked to him for his several attempts, because Class E could learn from it, and Red Eye finally gave up.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Red Eye:
* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:He reappears for a long time in chapter 98, only to be killed by the God of Death. [[NotQuiteDead But it turns out he's alive]] in chapter 117.]]
* ButtMonkey: All of his attempts failed in hilarious way.
* CodeName: "Red Eye". His real name is unknown.
* CoolShades
* FriendlySniper
* ImprobableAimingSkills: He claims that he have killed a target in a sandstorm. And both his two shots towards Koro was accurate, it's just Koro is not a normal human being.
* NiceHat: A wool bonnet.
* PunchClockVillain
* WeaponOfChoice: [[CaptainObvious A snipers gun]].

----
!!Smog
An assassin with an obsession for self-made poison who is hired by [[spoiler:Takaoka]] in the Assassination Island arc.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Smog:

* ChekhovsGunman: He first appears as a waiter in chapter 58. Fuwa immediately recognizes him in chapter 63 [[spoiler:and as the man who poisoned the eleven classmates.]]
* CodeName: "Smog". His real name is unknown.
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler: Before giving the poison to Takaoka, he, Gastro and Grip had some discussion regarding the situation and decides that killing a whole class doesn't maintain their reputation. So, Smog didn't give Class E the lethal poison Takaoka had gleefully ordered him to use, and instead used one that did no permanent damage and only lasted a few hours just to convince Takaoka that it's the real one. Had he giving the real poison the students would be in deep trouble after Takaoka has no intention of giving the antidote away.]]
* EvilGenius: The guy who relies on poison.
* FatBastard: [[spoiler:Not a bastard enough to use deadly poison against children. His poison gas, which he uses against Karasuma, is not deadly either.]]
* {{Gonk}}
* PoisonousPerson: He uses poison gas and other poisons.
* PunchClockVillain[=/=]HitmanWithAHeart: He, Gastro and Grip held none of [[spoiler:Takaoka's]] sadism after all.

----
!!Grip
An assassin hired by [[spoiler:Takaoka]] in the Assassination Island arc.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Grip:

* BloodKnight: He wants to test his enourmous strength in battles. In the world of assassination, it's almost impossible to have a real battle.
* TheBrute: The guy with superhuman strength, but he's also a CombatPragmatist.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His hands can crush skulls and glass walls with ease.
* CodeName: "Grip". His real name is unknown.
* CombatPragmatist: He still uses poison and knives, since he's a professional assassin.
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler: Before giving the poison to Takaoka, he, Gastro and Smog had some discussion regarding the situation and decides that killing a whole class doesn't maintain their reputation. So, Grip never used his assassination skills to assassinate the class and fought them directly.]]
* FunnyForeigner: His VerbalTic and the reason for it makes him rather eccentric.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His forte. He mentions that this skill as an primary assassination weapon gives assassins like him an advantage on missions that require infiltration (As he will never get caught during a body search). [[CombatPragmatist Doesn't stop him from using any weapons when time is needed to win]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Took his loss to Karma surprisingly well since even he admit his lose due to Karma forcefully uses horseradish and wasabi sauce into his nose.]]
* PunchClockVillain[=/=]HitmanWithAHeart: He, Gastro and Grip held none of [[spoiler:Takaoka's]] sadism.
* VerbalTic: He ends most of his sentences with "-nu" to give them a Samurai's tone, because he thinks it would be cool.

----
!!Gastro
A mercenary from a military who has an obsession of "eating"/licking/tasting guns, hired by [[spoiler:Takaoka]] in the Assassination Island arc.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Gastro:

* AnimeHair
* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: This guy has a gun in his mouth for almost the entire time. He claims that he won't shoot himself, though.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Say what you want about the OralFixation with his gun; at the end of the day, it took the whole 15 student-team, meticulously coordinated by Koro-Sensei, to bring him down.
* CodeName: "Gastro". His real name is unknown.
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler:Takaoka]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: [[spoiler: Before giving the poison to Takaoka, as the leader of the three pro assassins, he, Smog, and Grip had some discussion regarding the situation and decides that killing a whole class doesn't maintain their reputation. He actually calls it right when Takaoka reveals to him that he has no intention of giving the antidote to the students. So, he never fought Class-E with his full strength, though, he was still dangerous enough to be a serious threat.]]
* FishEyes: His eyes usually face away from each other. They probably enhance his shooting skills.
* TheGunslinger: He has several guns.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Can fire a bullet between the space between the seats of a concert hall with ease. He's also very skilled at making headshots.
* OralFixation: With guns!
* PunchClockVillain[=/=]HitmanWithAHeart: He, Smog and Grip held none of [[spoiler:Takaoka's]] sadism.
* SuperSenses: He has very good ears, as he is able to find out the number of students (+ Karasuma) and how roughly old they are by just hearing their breaths. He is also able to hear out the stolen guns they use, and considering his ImprobableAimingSkills, he must have good eyes, too.
* WouldHurtAChild: Aimed for the kill during his battle with Class 3-E. [[spoiler: Sugaya's decoy saved Chiba from receiving a bullet between his eyes]].

----
!!God of Death/Shinigami
Said to be the best assassin in the world. Enigmatic to the point where even other assassins know little about him. He remains a mythic figure for much of the manga, but eventually starts targeting other hitmen with the intention of working his way up to Class E and Korosensei.
----
!!!Tropes associated with the God of Death:
* TheAce: He's the undisputed master of every possible skill relating to assassination, including several that most assassins don't even consider.
* AchillesHeel: Hilariously, it's his [[spoiler:testicals]].
* ArcVillain: From chapter 98 to 110.
* BadassLongCoat: Fitting to someone called God of Death, since he doesn't wear a robe.
* BloodKnight: He's overjoyed that the students managed to oppose him.
* CatchPhrase: "Do not fear (...).".
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The best hitman in the world for sure, but this guy's abilities definitely push the limit of what is humanly possible. At one point he [[spoiler: gives Okajima an uppercut that bounces the poor guy off the ceiling and rebounding him back down to the floor...''hard''. Later, he's able to shoot Koro-sensei's tentacles with pinpoint accuracy and GunsAkimbo reasoning that Koro-sensei can't reach his full Mach-20 speed right off the bat. However, Koro-sensei's starting speed is still somewhere around ''600 kph''. At one point, he even scored a headshot on a guy riding on a Shinkansen train...while he was ''on another train heading the opposite direction.'']]
* CodeName: "God of Death". His real name is unknown.
* CurbStompBattle: Justified. He's the world best assassin. Assassins do not fight. They kill their targets very quickly.
* DissonantSerenity: In the same vein as Nagisa, but to an even higher degree. [[spoiler:Even while he's threatening to kill the class and Bitch-sensei, the class can't help but to feel perfectly at ease]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: His statement before killing [[spoiler:Lovro]] seems to indicate that he did it merely because [[spoiler:Lovro]] ''talked about him as someone to be feared''.
--> "''From the moment you are born I am by your side, always. Do not put fear in the name, "God of Death".''"
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Fitting to his title, he suddenly appears out of nowhere and kills [[spoiler:Lovro]]. And it's not shown how he kills him (or who hired him), but his victim is definitively dead ([[spoiler:no, he's not]]).
* EvilCounterpart: He has many of the same abilities that Nagisa does. He can hide his killing intent and appear completely harmless, and even [[spoiler:uses the same clapping move when they encounter each other]].
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[spoiler: Hanya from RurouniKenshin, given how the God of Death uses the same trick of cutting off and deforming his own face in order to be more effective at disguise.]]
* FacialHorror: Whenever his killing intent leaks through, his face is depicted as either a skull or something horribly mutated.
** And when you thought you've seen his real, normal face, you're in for a surprise.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts nice, but his intentions are anything than that.
* FingerGun: Does this when he kills [[spoiler:Lovro]].
** FingerFirearms: [[spoiler:What it actually is. While normally such low caliber has low lethality, his ImprobableAimingSkills more than makes up for it.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Subverted. He claimed to share a similar tragic backstory with Irina to manipulate her, but later admits that he grew up in a rich family without any wants. He's an assassin because he ''wants'' to be.
* TheGrimReaper: Usually possesses this symbolism, especially in chapter 98.
* GroinAttack: [[spoiler:Karasuma finds an opening for a second and punches his groin. Then he finishes him off]].
* HeroKiller: Since his second appearence, he has killed secondary characters.
* KnightOfCerebus: Despite the manga is a series about assassination, there are no deaths. Until he appears.
* LivingShadow: What he ''appears'' to be.
* MasterOfDisguise: His actual appearance is very plain. Couple that with his enigmatic reputation and talent at hiding his true nature, and he's able to effortlessly infiltrate just about anywhere. [[spoiler:Except that his actual appearance is a disguise as well. The reason he is a MasterOfDisguise is because he ripped of his own skin from his face.]]
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:He subverted Irina's loyalty so that she turned against the kids and Karasuma-sensei.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: If you are not from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', then someone called God of Death is not the most trustworthy person.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:He nearly succeeds to kill the entire 3-E class and their three teachers if both, Koro-sensei and Karasuma wouldn't be so unhuman and unpredictable.]]
* NightmareFace: [[spoiler:His real face is close enough to a SkullForAHead.]]
* NightmareFetishist: The entire reason he's a hitman. When he was a child, he saw his (abusive) father killed by a hitman. The movements of the hitman were so beautiful that he decided then and there to become one too.
* OralFixation: With a chocolate bar.
* SerialKillerKiller: He has been targeting assassins so far.
* ShroudedInMyth: No one knows who he is, or even what he looks like, and yet he's the undisputed number one in assassination according to Lovro.
* SinisterScythe: Red Eye describes his weapon as an "invisible scythe". It's unclear how metaphorical this is.
** [[spoiler:[[FingerFirearms It's a gun hidden in his index finger.]]]]
* SlasherSmile: Fitting for the God of Death.
* SweetTooth: He eats a chocolate bar when he apparently observe Class 3-E (or [[spoiler:Lovro]] and later while killing [[spoiler:Lovro]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: During some of his appearances, he's eating a chocolate bar.
* WorldsBestWarrior: Well, best assassin.
* WouldHurtAChild: At first, he is only trying to harm [[spoiler:Class 3-E]] a little bit in case of taking them hostage. But when [[spoiler:they excite him too much]], it gets worse. [[spoiler:He also tries to drown them to kill Koro-sensei in a cage.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He takes hostage of Bitch-sensei, and later he breaks Kayano some ribs after knocking out Yoshida, Muramatsu and Kimura (the cracking sound is actually just the armor). Later, he tries to kill Irina while she's still on his side, so he can get rid of Karasuma.]]
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: He's depicted as this in-panel; his bottomless killing intent combined with his skill at masking it confuses and disorients their targets, because it's impossible to see his true nature. As a result, once he reveals his true colors, he's depicted as either a monstrous conglomeration of predatory plants and insects or a LivingShadow. [[spoiler: That said, a combatant of equal skill could see [[NightmareFace his true form.]]]]

[[folder: Others]]

!!Shiro
->'''Voiced by:''' Ryota Takeuchi

A mysterious man in a white robe and a hood. He is Itona's guardian, handler and home tutor and acts as his father. He knows a lot of Koro-sensei's weaknesses.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Shiro:

* HumanoidAbomination: Whatever he is, he can ''not'' be a human. He might actually be a BlobMonster, judging from his 'melting' robes.
* BadassLongRobe: His robe is made of Anti-Sensei materials.
* BatmanGambit: He knows how Koro-sensei would act and he calculates Koro-sensei's personality to prepare Itona's battles against him.
* BrainsAndBrawn: He makes the plan and preparations for Itona's battles. [[spoiler: He is most likely planned out another assassination attempt. This time, Kayano is the brawn.]]
* ColorfulThemeNaming: His real name is unknown, but because he wears only white clothes, he calls himself Shiro, which means "white" in Japanese.
* TheCorrupter: He took advantage of Itona's dire cirscumstances and weak state of mind to turn him into his personal {{Tykebomb}} in his vendetta against Koro-sensei, [[spoiler:and as revealed by chapter 88, he intends to do the same to Nagisa.]]
* CrazyPrepared: He knows a lot of Koro-sensei's weaknesses, and he puts a lot of efforts and preparation for Itona's battles against him.
** [[spoiler: From the events that happened in chapter 128, it is possible that Kayano is the "weapon" he prepared, which was foreshadowed in chapter 88.]]
* EvilGenius: The reason, why Itona's battles against Koro-sensei are so difficult is because of Shiro's calculations.
* FatalFlaw: Two times out of three, his plans directly fail because he forgot to take class E into account. Of course, they would probably have failed regardless.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Because we see never his face under his hood.
* InTheHood: His face is not shown, yet.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Chapter 84 reveals that he has a personal hatred for Koro-sensei. He doesn't want just to kill him, he wants to see Koro-sensei suffer as much as possible at the same time.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He is completely clad in white, that's why he calls himself Shiro. Well, technically, he tries to save the world, but he has an antagonistic role and his methods are extreme.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates Terasaka to help him and Itona against Koro-sensei. [[spoiler:And he lies to Terasaka about the real plan to guarantee that he would help them.]]
* NotSoStoic: He has a few comedic moments and he has a bit sense of humor.
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Shiro abandons Itona in the end of chapter 84, after the latter failed the third time to kill Koro-sensei.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His methods to kill Koro-sensei would harm [[spoiler:Class-E]] if needed.

----
!!Akira Takaoka
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese)

A member of Ministry's Special Services Division assigned to push the training of Class 3-E and replace Karasuma as their P.E. teacher. He introduces himself as a easygoing father-like figure, but it quickly becomes apparent that he's actually a sadistic drill sergeant who has no problems with subjecting children to violent and unreasonable training regimens for his own benefit.
----
!!!Tropes associated with Takaoka:

* ArcVillain: In his introduction arc [[spoiler:and in the Assassination Island arc.]]
* AxCrazy: This guy really enjoys beating his disciples into bloody pulps, regardless of their age. [[spoiler:Not to mention poisoning Class 3-E and destroying the antidote.]]
* BatmanGambit: To prove that he's a [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure reasonable]] [[BlatantLies authority figure]], Takaoka promises to leave if a student can land a single knife-hit on him in a one-on-one match. The catch? He expects none of them to be mentally prepared to use a deadly weapon against an actual human, so he demands that the challenger fights using a sharpened combat knife. The hesitation of using the knife, on top of the fact that no student is even skilled enough to hit him with an anti-sensei knife, will turn the match into a sure-win situation for himself. [[spoiler: This is why Takaoka is completely thrown off guard when Nagisa, one of the physically weakest students of the class, decides not to put up a "traditional" fight and instead smiles as he casually walks over to him. Then he aims straight for his neck ''without any hesitation whatsoever''. Takaoka doesn't take it well once the students celebrate Nagisa's win]].
* BigEater: He claimed that it was the reason he's a bit rounder than others.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's so quick to listen to your problems and to sympathise... a little too quick.
* BigFun: He portrays himself as this with self-depreciating humour, a sunny disposition, a happy smile and a generally [[CoolUncle avuncular]] approach to things (with a bag of goodies)...
** FatBastard: Although, this is what he's hiding as his true self. Somewhat subverted in his second appearance, as he's lost a lot of weight and looks much more trim. Yet, he's a hundred times the bastard he was before, not to mention quite a bit more... unhinged.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Guess who is the boss that poisoned most of Class E on the island?]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Basically tried to [[spoiler: kill off every student in Class 3-E with accelerated cancer because an 'unassuming and weak' middle school student [[HoistByHisOwnPetard beat him at his own game (especially he rigged the match to his advantage)]] and the co-workers teasing and laughing at him due to his HumiliationConga]].
* DissonantSerenity: Takaoka's always grinning and sticking out his tongue, whether he's handing out pastries, revealing his ridiculous training schedule, or violently attacking contrary students.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Has a "9-sticks-to-one-carrot" philosophy, is more like a dictator than an officer, and "accidentally" leaves a picture of the soldiers he's tortured in front of Karasuma. ''And he's always smiling''.
* TheEndJustifiesTheMeans: Takaoka's extremely harsh (if not downright impossible) training schedule will be worth it if just one student survives (taken he doesn't care less of the students lives even going as far as sacrificing one student to make everyone follow his orders) and succeeds in killing Koro-sensei because ''Takaoka'' will become famous for training the assassin and then [[TheRival Karasuma]] will finally acknowledge his superiority!
* EvilIsBigger: He's very big.
* EvilIsPetty: His main reason for taking over Class E's physical instruction and brutalizing them...he's jealous that Karasuma has always been better than him and wants to get promoted over Karasume. For that reason, he's willing to use any methods to raise the Class E students into elite soldiers...even if it means killing most of them along the way.
* ExpositoryHairStyleChange: [[spoiler:After losing to Nagisa and being fired by the chairman]], he either uses hair gel or his hair is just messy.
* AFatherToHisMen: He even said that the student would be like his own children, just like his previous trainees. Yeah, as if! He would make your life a living hell if you didn't listen to your "father".
* TheFaceless[=/=]FaceFramedInShadow: At the time [[spoiler:before he was revealed to be the BigBad of the Assassination Island arc]], his face was never shown. Because it would be a spoiler.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He pretends to be a nice "father" to his disciples, but soon he reveals that he's a crazy bastard.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Everything about his [[spoiler:duel with Nagisa, from the disarming smile, the knife that almost killed him, and the resulting humiliation aftermatch]] drove him vengeful and psychotic. [[spoiler: After Nagisa wins their second duel, he shows Takaoka the same smile before zapping him unconscious]]. It's very likely that this wiped away whatever was left of his sanity.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler:He scratches his skin ''a lot'' after losing to Nagisa, after he overheard his colleges mocking him of his defeat after he returns to HQ]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He's was incredibly jealous of Karasuma-sensei, as Karasuma was the most talented member of their unit in the JSDF and quickly rose above him. He hopes that if he turns Class-E into the heroes (even means of killing the students) who will defeat Koro-Sensei, then he'll also become a hero, and finally be able to order Karasuma around.
* KnightOfCerebus: When he shows his true nature, the story shifts from a fun, uplifting comedy into the darker, more serious themes of assassination. [[spoiler: This goes double for his involvement during Class 3-E's island vacation]].
* NotSoStoic: Takaoka's DissonantSerenity is shattered in chapter 41 courtesy of [[spoiler:Nagisa]]. His grinning gives way to shock, then mind-numbing fear, and finally frothing rage.
* ObviouslyEvil: When he's introduced, there are some hints that he's not as nice as he appears.
* OhCrap: During his second defeat when he realizes that [[spoiler:Nagisa]] is going to smile at her .
* OneSteveLimit: With Kataoka.
* TheRival: Takaoka was this to Karasuma in training.
** UnknownRival: It seems that Karasuma wasn't aware of it.
* SadistTeacher: He's more akin to a drill sergeant than a teacher, instituting a ''ten period'' class schedule, most of which consists entirely of training, and isn't above smacking any disagreeable student ([[WouldHitAGirl girls included]]) around.
* SoreLoser: He doesn't take his defeat by [[spoiler:Nagisa well. He's convinced that Nagisa cheated during their first duel by using an "unskillful, cowardly sneak attack"]], demands a rematch to kill him and refuse to listen to Nagisa's refusal and attacks him. [[spoiler: [[TheBusCameBack Twice]]. Both attempts fail spectacularly]].
* WouldHurtAChild: He uses violence against his students/disciples to suppress them. He knees Maehara in the stomach when he complains about their new training schedule and planned to beat the crap out of Nagisa to subdue the students once and for all. [[spoiler:After his loss against Nagisa, he returns to poison the students with a deadly virus ''and'' destroys the antidote to make sure that they die slowly and painfully leaving only Nagisa alive to see his friends dies even after Nagisa apologize to him. He also tries to ''kill'' Nagisa himself when they finally confront him]].
** WouldHitAGirl: His violence isn't restricted to the boys. He fiercely slapped Kanzaki when she defied him, almost knocked-out Kurahashi (Karasuma stopped him at the last second), and later [[spoiler:wanted to burry Kayano with Koro-sensei in cement and Anti-Sensei material]].
* WalkingSpoiler: He was first introduced as a NiceGuy, even though it was early implied that he's not as nice as he acts. Also, he [[spoiler: returns as the mastermind of the Hotel Arc]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: No matter how horrible, his actions are all ultimately to save the world from destruction at the hands of Koro-Sensei. [[spoiler:Later subverted when that simply becomes his excuse to take revenge on the class.]]

----
!!Hiromi Shiota

Nagisa's overbearing, controlling mother. She first appears in Chapter 112, where she has been shown to have been trying to completely control Nagisa's life by making every meaningful decision for him and refusing to accept any disagreements on his part.
----
!!!Tropes Associated with Hiromi
* AbusiveMom: She's ''seriously'' unwell and gives poor Nagisa problems at home. [[spoiler: She got better later.]]
* ControlFreak
* HairTriggerTemper: She's all smiles until Nagisa (or Koro-sensei) try to disagree for her, at which point she devolves into a screaming harpy.
* MeddlingParents: She's the Agent at first, trying to meet with Koro-sensei and later intending to meet with the Chairman in order to negotiate Nagisa's return to the main school. However, she moves up to the Blackhawk when [[spoiler: she tries to force Nagisa to burn down the Class E building in order to leave him with no other choice but to try and return to the main school.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: She asserts her control over Nagisa at every opportunity, trying to make every major decision for him in an attempt to guide him through the life path she wanted for herself. She refuses to allow him to have any say and even goes so far as to assert that, as the one who birthed and raised him, she owns him.
* NewGamePlus: This is the exact metaphor for how Nagisa describes their relationship. Hiromi intends to control Nagisa's decisions so that he can follow the path through life that she had wanted for herself, but was unable to follow through with, without any regard for Nagisa's feelings on the matter.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Hiromi wanted a daughter, but Nagisa is a boy. She copes by forbidding him to cut his hair and forcing him to dress up like a girl whenever he's home.

!!Aguri Yukimura
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyakoKawasumi (Japanese), Ashleigh Domangue (English)

Class E's former teacher [[spoiler:and the woman seen in Koro-sensei's flashbacks. She's also Kayano/Akari's older sister.]]

* TheMatchmaker: A chapter has Koro-sensei pairing up the students into boy/girl pairs of his choosing to explore a cave in a poor attempt to cause some romantic tension between them. He even refers to the scheme as ''Couple Setup.'' Somewhat subverted in that he doesn't actually want them to get together as much as he wants juicy romantic gossip that he could poke fun at them for and write a novel about later.

to:

* MachineMonotone: Part of being an EmotionlessGirl. And as being an actual machine, anyway. [[{{SubvertedTrope}} Koro-sensei gives her a much more natural voice so as to be more acceptable to the students]].



* RobotGirl: A hilarious and original variation. Unlike other {{Robot Girl}}s, Ritsu doesn't have a humanoid body, but its rather a huge box with weapons.

to:

* ThePromise: Ritsu upholding her promise to shape flowers for the other students is what proves to them that she's not a mere machine, and that she survived the reboot her creators tried to foist onto her.
* RobotGirl: A hilarious and original variation. Unlike other {{Robot Girl}}s, Ritsu doesn't have a humanoid body, but its rather a huge box with weapons. Koro-sensei initially tried to give her a full LCD screen to make her seem more natural, but by default she simply has a screen that displays her face and little else.
* ScreensAreCameras: We get a vision from her perspective a couple of times, and each time is from the screen of her main body. However, it's hard to tell if the trope is being played straight or if Ritsu genuinely has a camera inside her screen, considering all the other advances about her.
