I've seen that the Assassination Classroom wiki states that Kanzaki alone made 3 kills, and another post showing a kill count chart gives Hara credit for eliminating Okano and Kimura.

Shouldn't Maehara be the one to get credit for eliminating Okano and Kimura after he "stabbed" them with the knife while they were wrapped up? Being caught in a net trap wouldn't count as a kill. So Maehara would have scored 3 kills, and Hara none.

I'm trying to follow my daughter's Christmas List and there are a few anime/manga that I'm not very familiar with. She basically just listed the name of the show and not a specific item. I figured this place probably has the experts, what merchandise is available that might be good to pick up?

was it too short? it used to be one the top selling manga. everywhere i go are outdated memes from 2020. this was my first anime too.

Firstly, so sorry for the rant, but not sorry enough to keep it to myself. Maybe someone will like it. I posted this on HardHead9000's Isogai x Kataoka x Yada poly ship post, but it was so long that I felt like complete garbage for clogging the comment section. So I deleted it and reposted it here.

Please feel free to show your love for your fav rarepairs in the comments.

That ship actually makes sense, somehow. But from my experience, AssClass shippers almost always take the low-hanging fruits like Karmagisa, Karushuu, NagiKae, HayaChi, etc, etc. Stuff that usually has somewhat of a basis in canon or in shipping dynamics. But they miss a bunch of stuff!

Those ship dynamics largely influence who people ship with who. Often, it's more the ship dynamics and how the characters play into them that makes them ship and like the characters than the characters themselves.

Like, the ships of someone who likes soft-spoken, quiet boys, but doesn't have a preference as to who they're shipped with, just that they're there. It's gonna be Karmagisa, NagiKae, TeraNagi, NakaNagi, etc. People who have that same preference, but want the other partner to be a delinquent won't ship NagiKae, but will ship Karmagisa or TeraNagi, maybe NakaNagi if they really stretch Nakamura's delinquent personality. If they're into rarepairs with little to no interaction, and they like fleshing out characters with little screentime, they might ship NagiMatsu or YoshiNagi. Of course, rarepairs are practically non-existent in our humble fandom, so kiss those pairs goodbye. The day I see a NagiMatsu ship, I will eat my non-existent hat.

Unfortunately, our fandom is horrendously tiny. That's why I post all those infodumps in the comment section (sorry 🥺), because this fandom needs CPR. Maybe someone will reveal themselves to be a full-on fanatic like me who over-analyzes everything about the series, including anime vs manga differences, dialogue and how it reflects their personalities, background character interactions, etc.

Don't even get me started on the scene in Episode 3 where Koro-sensei catches Karma after he jumps. Anime line: "Students don't die on my watch. Ever. Think about that for the next time you jump." His line in the manga is way more impactful: "Believe in me and jump whenever you'd like." I smell potential angsty hurt/no comfort fanfiction plot there...

Maybe they'd like stretching canon out like me, too. Anyways, it's tiny, and we have around 6000 fics on AO3, including crossovers. MHA has over 300,000, and that's just an estimate. I'm very jealous. If most people in our tiny fandom like Nagisa and Karma, most of the ships are gonna revolve around them. And if they ONLY obsess over those two characters, along with a handful of others that they like to a lesser extent, then rarepairs are thrown out the window.

But here's the real low-hanging fruits that everyone is missing: Terasaka's Group. I'm honestly surprised that with a group with four boys and a girl, there isn't a single five-some smut fic. And trust me, when you get desperate for content of your fav characters, the things you'll search through to find them is... questionable, to say the least. Just don't ask. Ok, I might've found an (SFW) poly Terasaka Group fic or two on AO3,but still!

Look, Terasaka Group is extremely underrated. You've got a motorcycle/mechanics boy, a really buff and freakishly strong hottie boy, a boy who canonically has a "thug aesthetic" (from his character page) yet his cooking is fire (really gives off The Way of The Househusband vibes); a boy who knows electronics like the back of his hand, and a literal freaking witch (no, she actually cursed Koro-sensei during her advisor meeting with him, and it ACTUALLY WORKED!). If these were the main characters, I guarantee people would love them way more. Come on, everyone's been through the "Be my bad boy, be my man" phase with anime characters. These characters just don't get enough screen time.

Like, I haven't seen many TeraKarma fics. They have canon interactions, they have a whole dynamic between them! But NOOO, we gotta stick with Karushuu or Karmagisa. TeraKarma would be FIRE. Actually, any ship fics about Terasaka would be fire. If anyone makes some, feel free to tell me. I've read all the ones on AO3, unfortunately.

But there's also TerOkuda, for those who like buff, not-so-smart delinquent guy x shy, nerdy, goody two-shoes girl. Like, could you imagine those two going out to eat, and Okuda asks for no pickles and gets them anyways? You bet she ain't gonna say anything, but Terasaka will. He would stand up for her and help her stand up for herself, she'd encourage him to not be so impulsive and to be nicer to others. The only problem is that they have no interests in common, so it realistically wouldn't go anywhere. 😞

But what about shipping Terasaka with his friends? I'm thinking around the lines of TeraYoshiMatsu. With the three of them so close, and Yoshida and Muramatsu's even closer friend dynamic, I can't imagine shipping Terasaka with one of the two instead of both. I feel like it would drive a wedge in the friend group. It would make either Yoshida or Muramatsu a third wheel, negatively affecting their close friendship. I could see one or the other getting jealous because they used to spend all this time together, and now, their friend spends most of their free time with someone else. However, if it wasn't Terasaka, I could see Yoshida and Muramatsu dating separate girls. But I can also see a hint of poly potential, with the two dating the same girl, because they're so close, best friends for life. Sharing is caring, so why not share the girl, too? I can see that. I don't actually see much shipping potential with Hazama and her friends, surprisingly enough, but I haven't put much thought into it, either.

MuraYoshi, I can see that. Again, they're so close in the series that I can see that. I read a really good slowburn on AO3, and I hate those things so bad. Pretty sure it was by KingsRock, and it was a fake dating AU.

But if you give canon info and extras a chance, there'd be way more stuff to work with than what we've got on AO3!

Canon:

Kurahashi and Professor Jelavic like Mr. Karasuma

Kimura likes Kurahashi

Yada used to like Kataoka, but it was mentioned in the manga as a past event, meaning it's no longer the case Yoshida, Sugino, and Mimura like Kanzaki

Nakamura and Kayano like Nagisa (it's debated from a line in one of Kanzaki's character extras as to whether she likes him, too, but it's questionable. Just read it for yourself on Tumblr and form your own opinion.)

Takebayashi has a weird fixation on Ritsu, having used her for maid services after school at one point, though it's unclear if it was a one time thing or frequently.

Terasaka sometimes does this too, which is where her code name Box of Moe comes from. Moe=cuteness, and his dialogue in Ritsu's character extra suggests a tsundere personality, along with how he acted at the maid cafe with Takebayashi. (It can be said Terasaka has a thing for cute girls. He has also canonically stared at a woman's boobs If you count the Korotan books as canon. They're fun, read the translations on Tumblr!)

Excerpt from Ritsu's character profile: Code Name: Moe Box (萌え箱 / moe hako), Terasaka’s idea

“I have no interest in moe, so is this what moe is supposed to be? I-is she also able to make herself a m-maid? I said I have no idea what moe is!!”

See what I mean? Tsundere all the way.

I wish I could have seen Irina teach more I thought her teaching was hilarious. But in season 2 I couldn't find a scene where she teaches at all. Except for the reaper arc. I'm thinking she has more time in the manga shown as a teacher. But I haven't read the manga yet.

Don't you think it wired that karasuma didn't keep in touch with the kids? I'n the last episode he said I wonder how those kids turned out. Or sum like that

Karasuma and Irina have a daughter together and get it on often at night.

Translations can be found here

If your wondering what I mean by that? I'm asking for fanfics where Nagisa is betrayed and if your wondering why I want that. Well

Personally I really like stories where a character is betrayed since it opens the door to many ideas and stories like villain origin, a new chapter, revenge, etc. Overall there's so much you can do with betrayal story wise and I think Nagisa would perfect for it since he was abused by his mom and bullied at school for his childhood, so to see Nagisa being betrayed would be interesting.

Now I should meantion that I did read some fanfics where Nagisa was betrayed those being The 3rd God of Death, Serpentine, Crystal Tears and Nagisa's unwanted protectors on FanFiction.net which personally I find these stories kinda boring. I want a fanfic where Nagisa is betrayed by classmates or just someone he cares for with the story being about how it affected Nagisa and others.

What is the coolest looking stun clap in the show. We have the first stun clap by nagisa in season 1 we have the reapers stun clap, Koro senseis stun clap in the flash back and the one nagisa used on karma in there fight

I don't hate gay it's just a wtf thing to me

Edit: By the way when I see you men make love then this is fine but when I see nagisa x karma I just wanna throw it off the window for no reason in particular

So, question for everyone here. If you want to ship Nagisa with girls from other animes, who would you ship him with?

Its a 10/10, I Love everything about this series.
