Assassination Classroom

They're gonna make out? I mean, not gonna lie, I would totally wanna see that, but...

Mhm. Nagisa just does it as a distraction, though.

And then once the arc is over, there a little scene with Karma and Kayano where they're just kind of sitting beside each other awkwardly and saying stuff like "So... you too, huh?"

Huh, so end of that

Very dissatisfying. Not sure I want to keep reading. I haven't really enjoyed this series much in awhile.

Please ancient dark masters let them fail in the one month time limit so they'll be forced to kill Koro-sensei.

You guys are so much hoping for bittersweet ending, eh?

I want the octopus to die by the hands of the students, so yeah, pretty much.

Gah. Karma and #RedTeam almost had it, but I really can't complain about the way Nagisa won the match. Throwing his signature bloodlust for use as the fake-out bait, using a grapple for the "second weapon", and forcing Karma to submit to his own terms were all very clever ideas.

Well, time to see what the kids are going to come up with for their "Save Koro-sensei" plan. While I want their naive idealism to eventually be dashed into pieces when they find out that there's no way to save their beloved teacher, I hope they sort of have a good time doing it. Like the old days with the goofy slice of life assassination plots.

That is mean, Shiny. I approve.

Though I wasn't particularly impressed with how the fight ended.

It didn't need to continue. Karma was convinced that Nagisa was taking things seriously, and Nagisa proved to himself that Karma was taking him seriously. With the proximate causes removed, their conflict was defused.

What bothers me is how easily they changed their minds. Accept defeat is different from agree with the view of the winner. And they agreed. They seem satisfied, but five chapters ago they seemed convicted of their views. What happened? Terasaka did nothing relevant and already accepted. Make it seem like the war was futile.

Because they agreed to follow the plan of the winner if they lost.

I'm sorry. I expressed myself badly. Fixing: accept the decision of the winning team was the requirement of the teacher. I got it. But the "kill team" not only accepted as they are also okay with the defeat. Usually the losing party would be unhappy to have lost, especially because it is the biggest decision of their lives. Their feelings were strong enough to the point of make them fight, but two seconds later they've changed their minds. As I said, Terasaka did practically nothing relevant and now he is already ok in having to do something contrary to what he wanted. And that's weird, because no one changes so quickly.

@ Gilphon: It's not mean, it's life. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way that things don't go the way you want them to despite your best efforts. That's when you brush yourself off, set more realistic goals based on what you can do, and have at it again.

How's that for a good 'ol life lesson for middle school kids?

Karasuma said that they all have to go back to assassination if their plan fails. It's decent compromise for both parties.

Yeah. If he had said it from the start, he would have avoided all this war. I mean, the whole class has always been united, separate them to unite again soon after makes it look like the arc was unnecessary. Maybe that's why they changed their minds so quickly, because, after all, it didn't matter, since in the end both options were accepted.

This arc is going to be middle school assassins in SPACE!?..no seriously.

The Assassination Classroom is going to conduct some "independent research". Hijack a space station and steal research data. If they get caught no doubt the Goverment is going to go after them so i doubt they will be caught

Inflitraiting a Government sanctioned building..you could make an argument everything they have done before is not outside of the law but this is straight up breaking the law..who knows what will happen if they get caught.

Though its good way of figuring out how effective they'd be if they turned professional

Just saying if this is a trap like many pepole think than they are screwed...if they get caught than Shiro can discredit Class 3E and broadcast that this place got infiltrated by Class 3E then Shiro. pretty much ruin them.

What possible reason could he have for doing that? He doesn't care about class E in the least, for good or ill.

Well, that was a gratuitous bit of Ritsu fanservice.

That beer commercial parody cover was kinda creepy

Anyhoo, I like how absurd their faces got when the whole absurdity was revealed xD

It's just so freaking insane..

Hey, lookie! A manned (with dummies) spacecraft made by japan is being sent to ISS before a capsule with potentially sensei-saving data reenters earth! Yep, let’s hijack that mission and let’s steal research conducted by a team hired by the most powerful nation in the world before reentry! That’s a great idea!”- Assassination classroom ch 150

Come to think of it, while the manga is already highly insane, this is probably most Korosensei-ish thing for classroom to do. I mean, yeah the class has done over the top stuff themselves, but not anything matching Korosensei's over topness

I am surprised they are taking such a risk

Wow, it's not just the actual plan that's insane, it's how it's shown. This series has always edged towards the ridiculous while having some normal aspects to ground it down. But here it feels like Matsui isn't even bothering in giving it a 'reasonable' presentation. It starts out well enough - ok, let's brainstorm about ways to save Korosensei. It's likely given the scale of the situation that someone has been doing research on ways to save him.

But of course, the classroom would have no way of getting to that informati- oh wait, Ritsu can hack into it? Holy shit, but ok, let's just roll with that. Ok, now let's look into some of these plans- oh, the only plan doing possible research for what we need is on the ISS, and it's secure enough that hacking won't cut it? Wow, well, there goes that idea.

Up until that point it was fine, although a bit rushed. But from there, the middle of the chapter, up to the end, was a very quick succession of 'let's run with this idea and see how far we can go'! Jesus, Korosensei. You're just going to enable this ridiculous, potentially life-ending plan? This is all so outlandish that I can't help but laugh. And all of it in one chapter! In any other manga, I'd think this sort of development would take at least a few chapters to make it seem viable. But Matsui seems to have a gift for managing this sort of development so fast that people just go with it.

Well, that's all from me. I am going to enjoy this arc, if it's going to be as ridiculous as I think it's going to be.
