There was plenty of space for the plot and the number of characters to expand. They'll pull a Deathnote: (Deathnote spoilers) Koro-sensei does get assassinated, lifting the one-year deadline. A new villain appears and the manga continues!

Safe and Secure! posted:They'll pull a Deathnote: (Deathnote spoilers) This made me realize what would be absolutely great, even if Koro-sensei is the best part of the manga. The class trains for most of the year, manages to kill Koro-sensei, and then the manga turns into the adventures of a class full of assassins. Either hunting down whoever created Koro-sensei, or just doing random assassinations.

Safe and Secure! posted:They'll pull a Deathnote: (Deathnote spoilers) I really hope they don't do this since that's the universally agreed upon point where Death Note dropped in quality, but on the other hand if it truly is getting as much marketing as One Piece did in its first year then I imagine they're in it for the long run.

You know, they're almost definitely going to have Koro-sensei actually be a good guy and have him be training the classroom to deal with some other threat, possibly a more powerful member of his race, that actually did all the horrible poo poo in the first place and it will be annoyingly dumb.

That makes no sense, as the only reason they even have a shot at assassinating him is because he isn't fighting back. An evil version of Koro would simply kill all of them in a minuscule fraction of a second.

Oh right! Something I forgot to link in the OP. Matsui did a guest chapter for PSI Saiki Kusuo. It was linked in the Surreal thread last week. So, for those of you looking for more Koro-sensei, well, here's a bonus chapter!

Pure speculation: Koro-sensei's plan is to make students that can change the world and being able to contend with a moon destroying monster that moves at mach 10 prepares you for that kinda thing.

Zorak posted:A thing that bothers me if you approach the topic realistically even if he's otherwise invulnerable, wouldn't suicide tactics work extraordinarily well against him? I mean, Karma did that one fall and attack thing, but there are methods that are so large in their range that it'd be pretty infallible, I'd think. Korosensei acknowledged that suicide tactics work well in the second chapter I think, when the class bullies pushed the bird haired guy to try and kill him with a knife. He praised the methods they used, just not their cowardice in trying to get someone else to do their work. I think you're underestimating just how fast Koro is though, even before pushing himself to make more and more duplicates and move faster after meeting the school chairman. Prior to then he had the time to pick a drink out of thin air using a eye dropper, one drip at a time and muck about with other stuff before it hit the ground. If he had any warning at all I'd imagine he could flee the effective range of a nuke with at least a couple of the students before it hit. Hell he could probably outrun the blast wave of one even if the actual explosion was the only warning he had by the looks of things. GoatLord posted:My current mostly baseless theory is that Korosensei has no intention of destroying Earth, he just concocted this whole plan, blowing up the moon included, so that he could become a teacher as a horrible squid-monster. I'm thinking much the same thing personally. The fact he says he used to be human, and as someone else said, his silhouette looks like a mutating human in a flashback, along with the mention of him once having wanted to be a savior makes me think he deliberately destroyed the moon using his new powers after an experiment gone wrong and took up the woman's dreams of teaching to try and make the world a better place. Destroying the moon was just a way to give himself a massive bargaining chip by the looks of things.

Breaky posted:Never heard of it, why? Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro is Matsui's only previous work. The protagonist, Neuro, is a bizarre demon who eats mysteries for meals but prefers to eat ones solved by someone else, so he grooms a human girl to be a mystery solving machine for him. It definitely has some passing similarities to Assassination Classroom in the premise, and the one thing we can take away from Neuro for reading into this series: it's absolutely not going to have Koro solve everything. We've already seen hints of this with the principle completely stopping Koro in an instant with a wire puzzle. We can also take away that this series is going to be really really weird and nothing is going to be what it looks like on the surface, but we're already getting a lot of that from Assassination Classroom itself.

Speaking of Neuro, the first volume of Assassination Classroom has already outsold Neuro's first volume after only 3 days on shelves. To quote from the link: quote:Assassination Classroom - Best selling new Jump series since Bakuman, but because Bakuman had a debut week with a full 7 days on the chart it is possible that this series would have sold more than it given the same amount of time.

Neuro initially presents itself as a detective manga. It is definitely not a detective manga. Later on, it became much more violent but it was never really a fighting manga, either. There were a lot of grotesque monsters, but it was not a horror manga. While there were a lot of jokes throughout, it was not a comedy manga. What I'm getting at here is that you shouldn't expect Assclass to conform to the usual rigid genre definitions normally found in shounen jump. It may however get very, very dark. Oh, and never watch the Neuro anime. They made it into a detective show and it had a filler ending.

I wonder if this will get as brutal as Neuro did in its later chapters? I wouldn't have thought Weekly Jump would allow (Neuro spoilers) a main protagonist to be killed via point blank gun shot to the face, on-panel no less. The part with Sicks making his minion saw himself open was pretty violent too. I also wonder if it will have any delightfully xenophobic moments like Neuro did.

This manga is great, and at least partially a shot at how god-awful and stifling the Japanese public school system is. The school practically makes every problem with the modern Japanese public school a way of life. The translator missed an opportunity for fun transliteration with Mrs. Jelavic, though; if he/she added an "h" to her last name, she could be Big Sis Hellabitch or Miss Hellabitch.

In fact, Wiki says it's a Croatian name which does just that: jělaʋitɕ Where 'tɕ' has a 'Ch' as in 'Cheese' sound.
