|---|
|
Before stepping into Class E, Koro-sensei was originally the "Reaper" (First Generation) known among assassins, having killed countless people with top-tier skills and no emotions. Born in the slums, he believed in only one truth since childhood - People die if they are killed, and thus chose to become an assassin. He took the son of a wealthy man he killed as his disciple. However, because he "failed to properly watch over his student" (treating the disciple only as a successor rather than giving him care and approval as a "teacher"), his only disciple To prevent social panic, the First Generation Reaper was secretly sent to Yanagisawa (Shiro) for human experiments regarding "self-generated antimatter," which resulted in the growth of tentacles. During the experiments, he metAguri Yukimura（ About a year later, a lab mouse that had undergone the same experiment as Koro-sensei and was sent to a lunar base reached the limit of its cell division and stopped dividing, causing the antimatter to break away from its body and trigger a chain reaction converting lunar matter into antimatter, ultimatelycausing 70% of the moon to explode。 Yanagisawa calculated that Koro-sensei would also explode on "March 13th of next year" for the same reason as the lab rat, and immediately decided to "execute" Koro-sensei.The so-called time of Earth's destruction is when the cells in his body stop dividing; the only way to prevent the explosion is to stop the division (assassination), otherwise the Earth will be destroyed. Regarding the fact that nothing he did could prevent his death a year later, Koro-sensei believed he had "seen through" everything—since no matter how he struggled it was a dead end, he might as well take the entire Earth down with him. But just before he was about to get up and leave, Aguri Yukimura hugged Koro-sensei to stop him from crossing the red line. However, Aguri's action unintentionally triggered a still-active tentacle mine, causing Aguri's abdomen to be pierced on the spot, indirectly leading to Aguri's younger sister, who witnessed her sister's death, becoming determined to seek revenge against Koro-sensei. Before she died, Aguri hoped that Koro-sensei would dedicate the rest of his life to guiding the students of Kunugigaoka Junior High School Class 3-E, who were just as lost as he was. Because of Aguri's death, Koro-sensei finally woke up. He deeply regretted that he had only blindly pursued so-called "strength" and had never thought about or learned how to save others. Thus, he decided to follow Aguri's last wish and go to Kunugigaoka Junior High School Class 3-E to teach Aguri's students and prevent them from falling into darkness like himself. The tentacles asked him what kind of person he wanted to become, and Koro-sensei stated"I want to become weak, full of weaknesses, approachable, able to feel, protect, and guide any weak creature I touch. I want to become such a creature, such a teacher", and from then on, he completely transformed from a humanoid form into an octopus form. |
The strange sound he makes when startled is: "

- Episode 31: Something that cannot be easily calculated by performance alone—that is the gap in experience. --ToItona Horibe
- Episode 31: I've lived a little longer than you... and I have a bit more knowledge. The reason I am here as a teacher is because I want to pass these experiences on to you. --To Class E
- Episode 42: For a teacher, this must be the most gratifying moment. When a student, who received teachings from a teacher who was lost themselves, actually provides the correct answer on their exam paper. --ToTadaomi Karasuma
- Episode 42: A good teacher certainly does get lost. Is what I'm teaching my students really the best answer? While struggling within oneself, one must still resolutely and fairly pass that answer on to the students, without letting them sense one's own hesitation. That is exactly why the profession of a teacher... is so incredibly cool. --ToTadaomi Karasuma
- Episode 44: Those who are relied upon by everyone... when they themselves are hurt, they can only face the pain alone. --ToNagisa Shiota、Kayano Kaede
- Episode 53: Exams are actually quite good. The knowledge memorized by staying up all night will probably be mostly forgotten once they become adults and enter society. And that's fine. Honing one's strength under the same rules, racking one's brains, and competing with each other's grades—the experience gained in that process is what's truly precious.
- Episode 54, Koro-sensei: For those with natural talent, the sooner they taste the pain of failure, the sooner their true potential can be unleashed. School exams are the perfect opportunity to correctly teach them the meaning of victory and defeat, and the meaning of strength and weakness.

- Episode 89: Even if your parents gave you a good name, to be honest, it doesn't mean much. What truly matters is the kind of life the person with that name actually leads. A name doesn't create a person; a name only remains in the footprints a person leaves behind. --To Class E
- Episode 97: It is precisely because you have experienced failure that you can say... words that consider the feelings of losers. Karma-kun has already taken a step forward and experienced "what it means to be close to the weak." Whether it's failure or setbacks, they are sources of growth; this incident will make everyone stronger.
- Episode 104: When you encounter an obstacle (wall) that you cannot overcome... surrender. It's okay to fail today; just wait for an opportunity until the day you can win. --ToItona Horibe

- Episode 106: So, what do you (Class E) plan to do? Will you become stronger than them or the cage right here? Or will you admit defeat because you truly cannot match them? It's neither. If you are weak, there are fighting methods for the weak—that is, to fight using the creative ideas of assassination you use every day! --To Class E
- Episode 112: Take another serious look at yourself. After doing so, you (Nagisa Shiota) should be able to see what your talent should be used for and who you want to use it for. --ToNagisa Shiota
- Episode 113: Nagisa's mother, hairstyles, high school, and university are not decided by parents; they are decided by Nagisa-kun himself. Nagisa-kun's life belongs to Nagisa-kun; it is not a tool to hide your own complexes. --ToHiromi Shiota
- Episode 118: Plants, birds, fish, fungi, insects, mammals—the actions of all things are both "fate" and a blessing. You felt it during this school festival, didn't you? How much you have been blessed by... "fate." The people who taught you, the people you helped, the people who troubled you, the people you troubled, and the people you competed with to improve together. All kinds of encounters are "fate"—and they are also teachers who nurture people. --To Class E
- Episode 141: The one who taught me the way of nurturing people was none other than Yukimura-sensei. Looking seriously at the person in front of you, treating them as an equal with respect, and not judging them one-sidedly because of a deficiency in a certain area. From her... I learned these foundations of being a teacher. --To Class E
- Episode 149: When faced with a major choice, people truly show their true hearts, and sometimes they fight seriously. But look at the students. It is precisely because both sides are people who fight seriously... that they can understand even the parts the other person usually doesn't show. Sometimes fighting is... the opportunity to deepen everyone's relationships.
- Episode 170: In your (Class E) future lives, you will surely be blocked by the powerful currents of society and unable to achieve the results you desire. At that time, you must not think that society is at fault; you must never negate society! To be honest, that is absolutely a waste of time. In those moments, you should think, "This is just how the world is...MMP..." like this, to soothe the regrets in your heart. After calming your feelings, you must start thinking: since the currents of society are so turbulent, how should I move forward? You should have already learned the way to move forward, here in Class E, in this Assassination Classroom. You don't have to face difficulties head-on every time; it's okay to hide and wait out the storm. As long as you don't break the rules, sneak attacks are fine, and using unconventional weapons is fine too. With the determination to kill, don't panic, don't be depressed, keep making mistakes, and get back up when you fall... one day you will achieve excellent results. Every one of you can definitely do it, because you are all first-class assassins! --To Class E
- Episode 171: Students... in all our lessons, there is one thing I forgot to teach you. No matter how skillfully you can avoid head-on battles, there will always be a few times in life when you must face things with all your might! --To Class EInstantly contradicts the previous line
- Chapter 173: No way! This isn't a matter of right or wrong! They (Class E) risked their lives to save me! They defeated terrifyingly powerful enemies to get here; this process, this sentiment, is the most joyful gift for a teacher! They are neither weaknesses nor stumbling blocks—they are students! All of them... are my proudest students!! --To Class E
- Chapter 175: Students, what's done is done. I have also made many mistakes. But we can... prevent past mistakes from happening again. --To Class E
- Chapter 177: ...Young assassins, you who are about to take a life now, surely understand the value of life better than anyone else. Because you have studied, worried, and thought about it so much.
- Chapter 177: The value of my life was given to me by you. Just as I nurtured you, you nurtured me. So, I hope you can harvest the greatest killing intent now. If it can become the nourishment for the futures of these 28 people... I would be happy to death. I hope you find happiness. Please don't forget this wonderful year.
- Chapter 178: ...And in the future, you must... try educating others. That you were able to grow to this day is proof that someone spent time, money, and love to raise you. Passing this connection on to the next generation is a wonderful thing.
- Chapter 178: Koro-sensei never said things like "The Class E system is wrong, so let's make the school change it." "There are too many unreasonable and unfair things in this world. If you have time to hate or give up because of it, you might as well fight these unreasonable things joyfully." (FromNagisa Shiota）
Extra: Time for Gratitude
- That student of mine who wanted to self-destruct is very similar to Hotaru. He, Hotaru, and you are all selfless personalities who value others more than yourselves. If you commit suicide for Hotaru's sake... she will learn from such a mother in the future and become an adult who easily gives up her own life for others. This is not good in terms of education.
- I will live my most brilliant self in that classroom, and no matter what kind of graduation comes, I will have no regrets. My students are also moving forward with all their might, so you and Hotaru should also work hard to live on. Please do not forget your own value!
