Dad Koro-sensei

A strange new teacher is introduced to Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School. The teacher is a round-headed, tentacled octopoid creature capable of moving at speeds of up to Mach 20 and whose color changes depending on his mood. Prior to introducing himself to his new class, he managed to carve out a large chunk of the moon to become a permanent crescent moon. In a year, he plots to destroy the earth but decides to teach a junior high school class in the meantime for an unknown reason. With this strange creature having effectively taken over the world, the government reluctantly complies with his request on the condition that he does not harm his students. Affectionately, the students of Class E call him Korosensei, which is a pun on the term korosenai (殺せない lit. unkillable or can't be killed) and sensei (先生). These same students greet him every day with assassination attempts in their journey to save the world by eventually murdering their own teacher, and to earn 10 billion yen from the government. The building was originally a cram school Gakuho Asano first taught at. Asano had a teaching style very similar to Korosensei; he raised them to become kind and well-rounded. However, after the suicide of one of his former students, Asano developed new education ideals of creating "strong" students instead of "good" ones, and created Class 3-E to segregate the weaker students.

Class E was made solely for the purpose of fulfilling Chairman Asano's educational value of his variation of the 20:20:60 worker ant ratio, a social science which states that 20% of people are exceptional, 20% of people are worthless, and the other 60% are ordinary. In Chairman Asano's "E system", the students who display poor academic ability are gathered in Class E and are singled out as the worthless ones, as a result, students do everything in their power to keep their grades up and avoid getting transferred to Class E.

Asano's goal is for 95% of his students to be in the exceptional category, while only the remaining 5% fall into the worthless category (ignoring the fact that Class E actually comprises of 15% of the total student body). Blatant discrimination and stigmatization from the main body of the school, new and inexperienced teachers, poor and shoddy study environment, and even Chairman Asano himself intervening occasionally to ensure that the Class 3-E 'stays in the bog', sabotaging any effort from Class 3-E to improve itself academically, added to the despair of Class E students who lost the will to strive makes escape from Class 3-E while still attending the school virtually impossible. Prior to the events of the story, Class 3-E was under the tutelage of Aguri Yukimura who was killed shortly after the destruction of the moon [1] and being subjected to all manners of unjust, unfair and contemptuous treatments as failures. he Class E building is located one kilometer away from the main building up on a nearby mountain. The trail between the Main Campus and Class E, in addition to the uphill trek, is riddled with a number of natural obstacles such as snakes, bees and rivers. Its exterior is that of an old rundown wooden school building with several places on the roof and a few windows boarded up. The interior contains a simple classroom with a blackboard, 28 desks and a small faculty lounge. The building has no air conditioning and the ceiling has several leaks in it as well due to lack of funds (stemming from discriminatory school policy). Even with the building in such poor quality, Class 3-E is not on the list of School's concern to renovate the building. Even with all the injustices Class 3-E is subjected to, people outside of the school (who are unaware of the Academy's E Class system) still consider Class 3-E students to be as elite as the rest of the student body. Class E students are not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities since E Class is a remedial course. Nagisa Shiota The smallest boy in Class 3-E who possesses an androgynous appearance. Nagisa has light blue hair pulled up into pigtails and ranked 5th best in marksmanship on the boys' side. He's the main perspective character and keeps track of his homeroom teacher's weaknesses in a small notebook. Despite his lack of notable physical capabilities, Nagisa possesses a natural talent for assassination. Karma Akabane A close friend of Nagisa and a major trickster. Karma is an intelligent boy and the top student of Class 3-E as well as one of the top students overall in Kunugigaoka. Unlike the majority of Class E, who were put in there for low grades, Karma was put in there for violence. He's ranked third for marksmanship on the boys' side and out of all his classmates, he's the most enthusiastic about killing his teacher. Kaede Kayano Another close friend of Nagisa and the smallest female in Class E. She's a cheerful and friendly girl with a love for sweets and poses unique cat ears-style pigtails. Kayano normally acts as a logistical support and stays within the background, much like Nagisa. Despite that, if she gets determined to do something, she carries through. She is the one who gave Korosensei his name. Tadaomi Karasuma An agent from the Japan's Ministry of Defense and Class 3-E's P.E. teacher. Karasuma is a stern yet kind man who was sent to Class 3-E to monitor Korosensei. He possesses super-human abilities and is one of, if not the strongest, human adults to appear in the series. Like Korosensei, he also cares very much for the students in Class E. Irina Jelavić A honey trap infiltration assassin and Class 3-E's English teacher. Originally an antagonist who thought little of the students in Class E, Irina now cares for them as if they were her little brothers and sisters. Her main abilities lie in her communication and seduction abilities which have allowed her a track record of eleven kills. She has a crush on Karasuma and is affectionately referred to as "Bitch-sensei" by her students.

Korosensei has the appearance of a yellow octopus who is about three meters tall and possessed a large, bulbous head with a large smile that rarely breaks or moves, and small, beady eyes. He uses two tentacles as arms, each having two feelers as fingers, and utilized the rest of seemingly jelly-like limbs - his tentacles - to walk. Korosensei has a pair of hidden nostrils, which make him appear to have four eyes if detected. Due to his constant grinning, he changes his color to express his emotions.

Korosensei wears a black academic dress, a small black squarish mortarboard cap with a yellow tassel and a large black tie with a yellow crescent-shaped moon on it, a gift from Aguri Yukimura.

It was revealed that he was raised in an environment "where everybody could easily betray one another to the point that one could only trust oneself". Through these hardships, he decided to become an assassin to survive. Despite gaining an apprentice, he only saw him as a tool for his goals, which drove the latter to finally betray his master.

However, after meeting Aguri Yukimura, he finally knew what compassion really was--becoming much kinder as a result. According to Aguri, if he was born in a peaceful country, he would be "a little lecherous, smart, klutzy, kind of stingy and stubborn" and he would smile because he is genuinely a kind person.[3] This prediction happens to reflect his personality; which became forefront after he answered the tentacles.

When first introduced, Korosensei was an upbeat individual who demanded absurd and seemingly mundane requests despite claiming he would be the cause of the planet's destruction in a year. He was also rather kind to others in general and could switch from silly and childish to serious on the fly. According to Nagisa Shiota, Korosensei also was unintentionally petty at others at times and loved gossip, both traits heavily noted throughout the series.

From time to time pieces of his old personality as The Reaper were visible such as when Ryoma Terasaka tried to sacrifice Nagisa to kill Korosensei and Korosensei menacingly threatened all of their families if they tried another self-harming attempt like that. In that moment, he resorted to his old method of teaching through fear. As the series progresses, his character development renders him more and more capable of true empathy and learning to use that empathy to teach lessons instead of through fear and reward like he had with his first student.

Korosensei deeply cared for his students' emotional and physical well-being and would lose his temper whenever any of them were put in danger, even by one another. On the annual school trip to Kyoto, a few of his students were assaulted/kidnapped by a gang of high schoolers hidden in an alley. After searching the entire area painstakingly, he infiltrated the abandoned building where two of his students, Yukiko Kanzaki and Kaede Kayano, were being held at and single-handedly beat up all of the high schoolers, scaring them away.[4]

One of Korosensei's attributes was that he was able to connect to each student individually, being an objective, empathetic, and observant person who will do almost anything to help his students. This was why all the students respected him even though he would blow up the Earth in a year. Taking care of each student's needs, Korosensei would sometimes be piqued by a student's current problems or interests and would try his best to guide the student along or solve it for them.

Korosensei loved sweets almost to extreme cases,[5] and was also shown to be a very perverted character, a trait he shares with his student Taiga Okajima and Itona Horibe. This characteristic was revealed to be the side effect of the experimentation with anti-matter tentacles which made him unable to hide his true feelings. Enhanced Strength: Koro-sensei is strong enough to lift multiple human beings with his tentacles, and knock out multiple assailants (including trained mercenaries) in a matter of seconds. However, his strength has an upper limit, and he can be overpowered if his opponent manages to secure all of his tentacles and prevent him from moving. Superhuman Speed and Reflexes: Koro-sensei is capable of moving at speeds of up to Mach 20. This allows him to perceive and react to incoming threats to his person (such as assassination attempts), and travel vast distances in a matter of minutes. As moving at his maximum speed would generate shockwaves which would affect those around him (including his students), Koro-sensei usually limits himself to speeds of up to Mach 3 while in the classroom. Afterimage Generation: Koro-sensei's immense speed allows him to generate body doubles of himself, by moving rapidly between positions. While doing so, Koro-sensei is able to multi-task, engaging in various activities simultaneously without any trouble. For example, he was able to hold 27 different conversations and individually consult with each of his students during a test-preparation session, while having one more double taking a break outside the classroom. Flight: Koro-sensei is able to fly at supersonic speeds, and can carry loads while in midair. He has been shown to be strong enough to carry the entire Class 3-E in a satchel across the world, using his tentacles to slingshot himself and the students into the air. While in midair, his head demonstrates dilatancy - becoming more solid due to the air resistance acting against him. Superhuman Senses: Koro-sensei's senses have been augmented by the tentacle experiments. Despite having no visible ears or nose, he is able to detect the most miniscule changes in temperature, light, sound, and smell in his surroundings. Koro-sensei can identify various things by smell, such as people, weapons, and materials such as explosives and toxic substances. Telescopic Vision: Koro-sensei's vision is sharp enough to perceive objects beyond the normal range of a human being. He can also extend his eyes out of his head to zoom in on faraway items, similar to a pair of binoculars. Physical Analysis: Koro-sensei's tentacles are extremely sensitive, and can analyze a person's body simply through physical contact. This allows him to understand a person's physical capabilities, potential, and limitations, and also detect any abnormalities within a person's body. Cephalopod Physiology: Due to the experiments conducted on him, Koro-sensei's physical appearance transformed to resemble that of an octopus. He has multiple prehensile tentacles, which he can use to grasp and manipulate objects in his environment. Two of his tentacles have small tendrils which resemble fingers, and he uses these as his hands. The rest of his tentacles are arranged beneath his body, and perform the function of legs and feet. These tentacles are extremely elastic, and can stretch to extreme lengths and form complex shapes. Superhuman Dexterity: Through rigorous training with his powers, Koro-sensei has achieved extremely fine control over his tentacles. He is able to perform surgery at the cellular level, excising a malignant tumor in Azusa's brain, and healing Kaede Kayano from a mortal wound sustained while fighting against Yanagisawa. Color Shifting: Koro-sensei can change the color of his skin to blend in with his environment. He usually uses this skill to disguise himself as a human, altering his skin tone so he can travel without attracting too much attention. Koro-sensei also expresses his emotions by changing the color of his head. Protective Mucus: Koro-sensei secretes mucus instead of regular body fluids (such as blood, sweat, or tears). The mucus serves several purposes, such as cleansing his body of dirt and grime, and also as an adhesive. Regeneration: Like a real octopus, Koro-sensei can regenerate lost limbs. He can also heal rapidly from most non-lethal injuries, although he will take longer to heal from otherwise mortal wounds. Nigh-Invulnerability: Due to the nature of his body and the tentacle implants, Koro-sensei is impervious to most conventional weapons or methods of injury. Only specially-made items which are designed to be effective against tentacle cells will hurt him, such as the specially made BB shots and knives used by the students, the anti-tentacle items created by Shiro, and the Spear of Heaven and Shield of Earth which were used in the Japanese government's attempt to kill him once and for all. Poison Immunity: Koro-sensei can safely consume most chemicals and substances which are toxic to human beings - including concentrated sodium hydroxide, thallium (III) acetate, and aqua regia. However, his physical appearance may be affected (for example, drinking concentrated sodium hydroxide caused his head to turn blue and sprout horns). Absolute Defense Form: Koro-sensei can assume this form as a last-ditch effort to protect himself from harm. He was forced to reveal this ability, after Class 3-E came exceedingly close to successfully killing him on their trip to Okinawa. In this form, Koro-sensei compresses himself into a baseball-sized crystal sphere, with his head in the centre. The energy released through compressing himself forms the crystal layer, which forms small, densely-packed matrices which are impervious to any and everything - even conventional Anti-Sensei weapons. Koro-sensei can remain in this form for a maximum of 24 hours, after which he will return to his original form. While in this form, Koro-sensei is virtually indestructible, but he is immobile and must be carried around. Molting: Koro-sensei can shed his skin to use as a protective membrane - either on himself, or on another individual, to protect them from harm. He can only do so once a month, as molting tends to take up a lot of his energy. Energy Generation: By channeling the energy from the antimatter within his body, Koro-sensei can discharge energy beams from his tentacle tips, and even generate explosive shockwaves to destroy barriers and obstacles without touching them. He used this technique to blast away the Anti-Sensei barrier erected by Shiro to contain him. Superhuman Metabolism: While Koro-sensei still needs to eat and drink food, he can consume virtually anything with no ill side-effects besides items made of Anti-Sensei material. Koro-sensei especially enjoys sweets and junk food, but he will eat anything he can get his tentacles on - including non-food items such as tissues, pens, and rocks. Koro-sensei can also consume alcohol, although he has a low tolerance and gets drunk easily. Genius-Level Intellect: Even before Koro-sensei gained his powers, he was extremely intelligent, able to memorize, calculate and understand vast amounts of information with exceptional precision. After gaining his powers, Koro-sensei gained the ability to think and process information at superhuman speeds, allowing him to singlehandedly teach every single academic subject for Class 3-E, craft individual tests for each of them, and even coach them one-on-one in self-study sessions. Eidetic Memory: Koro-sensei has an incredibly detailed memory, and has total recall of anything he has ever seen or experienced. Before coming to Class 3-E, Koro-sensei committed all of Japan's academic literature to memory so he would be able to coach his students even better. Chemistry: Koro-sensei has a expert-level understanding of chemistry, as he was able to coach his student Manami Okuda into creating an original compound which would enhance his speed and fluidity. Computer Engineering and Programming: Koro-sensei was able to upgrade Ritsu's console and software, increasing her ability to interact with her classmates and aid them in assassinating him. The upgrades he installed allowed Ritsu to gain sentience and free will. Pedagogy: Koro-sensei is an excellent teacher, able to consider the strengths and weaknesses of his students and teach them in a manner which allows them to grow academically and personally. He takes any opportunity he can to educate his students not just about being strong in and out of the classroom, but also about being considerate and sensitive to the people and world around them. Assassination Mastery: As the original Reaper, Koro-sensei was considered the world's best assassin prior to being betrayed by his disciple. Koro-sensei uses this knowledge to counter and react to every single attempt on his life, both by Class 3-E and the other professional assassins aiming for the bounty on his head. Driving: Despite his mutated physiology, Koro-sensei is able to drive a car. However, he dislikes driving due to it being much slower than his regular movement speed, and having to follow traffic rules. When he tries to act cool, his weaknesses show.[6] Koro-sensei is prone to bouts of hubris - especially when he feels he has the upper hand against the students. These are the moments when he is most likely to falter and be vulnerable. He is surprisingly quick to panic.[7] He is petty.[8] Koro-sensei gave his students extra homework after their attempt to assassinate him - after he had handicapped himself. His punches are soft. Boobs (natural weakness). Koro-sensei is a pervert, and especially likes large breasts. He also owns a sizeable collection of dirty magazines, which he reads on the regular. He is subservient to his superiors at work. When Gakuho Asano came to visit the E-Class campus, Koro-sensei proceeded to welcome him by making him tea and massaging his shoulders. He has no patience for wire puzzles. Koro-sensei was unable to solve a wire puzzle when Gakuho Asano threw one at him and asked him to solve it in one second. He gets motion sickness. Koro-sensei suffers from motion sickness on vehicles such as high-speed trains and ferries. He can't sleep on a pillow other than his own. He worries about appearances. He can't handle hot food. Getting wet makes him swell up (natural weakness).[9] Koro-sensei's body is extremely absorbent, and contact with water will cause him to swell up. This affects his movement speed and reaction time. Juicy gossip.[10] Koro-sensei is especially into shipping his students with each other, and tends to spy on them whenever they discuss their romantic lives. Hackneyed plot developments make him cry. He gets taken in by rumors. He uses up stamina after molting, slowing him down (natural weakness). He uses up stamina after regeneration, slowing him down (natural weakness). His body goes rigid when bathed in a special beam of light (natural weakness). When he returns to normal after a serious situation, he gets embarrassed. He can only draw simple pictures. Heat fatigue. He is strict about poolside manner. He can't swim (natural weakness). Koro-sensei can still move in water, but he requires a full-body suit to keep himself dry. If he were to get wet, Koro-sensei's body would swell up, restricting his movements. He is weak against the occult. While on Okinawa, Koro-sensei set up a test of courage inside one of the island's caves - only to end up scaring himself. If he can't gather people, he feels worthless. Tone-deafness. Koro-sensei is a decent singer, but he loses his tone when he tries too hard. He sucks at hiding. He gets carried away by official positions. His heart (natural weakness). Despite being heavily mutated, Koro-sensei still retains vestiges of his former human physique, and has a heart located in the middle of his chest (behind his necktie). Not related, but acts like a doting parent. Gets insurance to avoid getting hurt. He doesn't really know what the phrase "your own football" means. He sucks at reporting. When Karasuma and the Reaper were fighting, Koro-sensei was the only one who could see them with his telescopic vision - but he was terrible at giving his students the play-by-play of the fight. He suffers from road rage. Koro-sensei is used to flying from place to place, so he dislikes driving due to having to follow the rules of the road. Restructuring (natural weakness). He doesn’t have much brute strength, so if all of his tentacles are grabbed at once, he would be unable to escape (Natural weakness). Unintentionally adding insult to injury. Completely oblivious to the mood in moments of high tension. Class 3-E students: Arguably Korosensei's greatest weakness. Although students of 3-E class are subtly aware of this, only three students ever made actual attempts to exploit this factor: Karma Akabane, Nagisa Shiota (using himself as bait), and Ryoma Terasaka (using Nagisa as a suicide bomber the first time, second when he was unknowingly manipulated by Shiro into nearly drowning his classmates, but has redeemed himself since). Exploiting this weakness means one has no qualms of discarding lives of his/her classmates, and even their own; Yanagisawa has demonstrated these qualities. Painfully narcissistic designs. Koro-sensei's retreat in the mountains resembles his face. His room resembles a dumpster. Despite being obsessed with grooming others, Koro-sensei's own quarters are incredibly messy. He only makes petty wagers. A bit of a degenerate octopus. His purpose has shifted from using porn magazines to collecting them all, at this point. Koro-sensei has an entire room lined with adult magazines, and he frequently meditates in this room instead of reading the magazines. Starts a night off with a Cassis Orange (a cocktail with low alcoholic content). Takes forever to decide on an appetizer. Really can't hold his liquor. Kind of like an old geezer. Korosensei has never actually known his birth name nor date due to his dysfunctional childhood. his face changes colour Yellow and Green Stripes = Mockery Orange with a Red Circle = Correct Answer Purple with a Dark Red X = Incorrect Answer Pink = Sleepy/Smitten Purple = Shock/Panic Blue = Sadness Red = Annoyance Black = Fury Pure White = Poker face, A mix of every emotion, or bored.
