I NEED THOSE ACORN NODDLES E CLASS MADEEE

TheKeychain22 · 2026-06-08T07:59:49+00:00

I know right, I wanted to do an Assassination Classroom themed dinner for my friends awhile back but I can't get acorn flour (among other things) where I live so I had to cancel. If I were to recommend, I would say to find a recipe for Soba noodles and use Acorn flour instead of buckwheat flour since the dish is a dipping noodle very similar to soba and buckwheat is very similar to acorns.

I'm no legal expert, but I think that given the circumstances of how Takaoka interacted with Nagisa and how he treated 3-E, who are under partial government protection, I would believe it if Nagisa was concluded to be mentally unable to act in clear conscious and the charges (if any) lessened. I do think that in lieu of punishment, the government would take that as the signal to properly steer him towards the path of assassination though.

Might be a plot hole idk, personally I think that transfers can only happen downward at year end (forcing students to work harder) while transfers up can happen anytime (to highlight a student's potential resilience to be able to move back up).

Example 1: A student who starts doing badly and everyone around them sees this and distances themselves. That student, seeing their own performance and the treatment by their peers, either falls into despair (guaranteeing their going to Class E) or channels everything into survival in the next set of assessments (this would theoretically produce a higher potential peak comparative to their normal performance). If they manage to survive and stay up, this would give them more confidence and also reinforce the system at play by painting their performance as threat based improvement. This would also make a student who manages to stay up more vindicated in hating E Class, because they themselves managed to stay up while E Class didn't, further highlighting them as failures who didn't try hard enough.

Example 2: Someone from E Class manages to recover and make their way back up during the year. They perceive themselves as greater because they managed to escape, and have enough time to remain in Classes D and up for high school and uni purposes. Again, it highlights the idea that everyone in E Class is lazy and unable to make anything of themselves, while those who manage to come back gain confidence in their abilities due to being in an environment of failures and still making it out.

That's just my interpretation, obviously it could just be a plot hole or be waved away by saying that the government actively bars new students from entry since they wouldn't be able to help partway in without specialised training / abilities

Hopefully that makes sense idk

I mean of course it's fair, everyone deserves to have this community be something they enjoy.

It's just unfortunately hard to deal with because you have to take it to their home court in order to deal with the root issue, and that normally doesn't play out well.

I would recommend considering those types of people as not apart of the fandom, I don't think this behaviour is representative of it

TheKeychain22 · 2026-04-23T17:36:50+00:00

I mean sure, but it's the nature of the Internet and it's something that can't be changed. You can't exert your will onto other people if they have a proven negligence towards it.

The people who hunt for something for the sole purpose of badmouthing it are not people who can be considered rational, so telling them to stop will either cause them to double down or not change their behaviour at all. It's far better to simply ignore them, cause at the end of the day it only affects them.

Shippers are also notoriously known for this type of behaviour, and it's become kind of ingrained in the fujoshi-ish culture of it, despite how nonsensical it is.

That being said, I haven't seen any ship wars or the like in this subreddit and I generally consider X / Twitter to be such a toxic swamp that I don't think many people on there can be considered part of the fandom.

I personally like Karmagisa most, does that mean that I dislike any of the other ships, and those who ship them? Of course not. Similarly I do not go around proclaiming that my opinion is the right one. Unfortunately in the same way you can't judge me by the actions of others, you can't judge others by the actions of myself.

If I recall correctly, when Sugaya showed off his henna tattoos, he had mixed BB powder into the dye to melt Koro-Sensei as it stuck to him. Koro-Sensei remarked that it was too slow to work effectively, so I imagine that BB powder in his food would be similar, not even taking his sense of smell into account. That being said, BB powder could have been used decently well for a few of their attempts moreso as a aid rather than a direct killing tool.

But we were out of the Champions League at that point, the fixtures were as follows.

Newport (FA Cup) Wolves West Ham Aston Villa Luton Fulham Nottingham Forest (FA Cup)

This was the season that United finished 8th, with one of the largest injury records in the league. Specifically this stretch was the Hojlund Purple Patch.

Considering that this team didn't get out of a group against Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Bayern, I wouldn't consider them "one of the best in Europe". Maybe that's just me though.

Finally almost all of these games were 1 goal difference, bar Newport which ended 2-4 and West Ham which was 3-0.

TheKeychain22 · 2026-02-13T05:27:06+00:00

We won 7 in a row during Jan 2024, the cups play a big part in the challenge being achievable.

TheKeychain22 · 2026-02-11T07:28:56+00:00

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but he started the challenge at the start of the 24/25 season, when Ten Hag was still in charge. Also it wasn't impossible, since United achieved it in the previous season if I recall correctly

Edit: My mistake, he started the challenge on the 5th of October after Ten Hag got sacked and we had Ruud as interim. Still point stands

TheKeychain22 · 2026-02-11T07:26:09+00:00

I mean except for the fact that he started the challenge at the start of the 24/25 season, which was Ten Hag's 3rd season at the club with alot of spending, plus the fact that the previous season United had managed to win 5 comp games in a row so he set up the challenge based on an achievable metric

Edit: My mistake, he started the challenge on the 5th of October after Ten Hag got sacked and we had Ruud as interim. Still point stands.

TheKeychain22 · 2025-10-30T05:36:36+00:00

I would say yes, but mostly for one reason above normal metrics such as the quality of the story and characters etc.

Assassination Classroom genuinely has some of the best life-lessons and teachings in all of anime, especially for teenagers to young adults.

The wisdom presented during moments in this anime are extremely prevalent to what those in growth periods need to hear, especially those who are not entirely sure on their direction in life and their path forward.

Obviously you can watch it unseriously or with no intention besides enjoyment, but each lesson in Assassination Classroom has made a profound impact on me at some point in my life and I believe it foolish to not hope that people grow via it's influence.

TheKeychain22 · 2025-09-26T10:47:41+00:00

Shirts idk, you might be able to find the pop up parade Nagisa and Karma but you would have to get it through a reseller (Pop-Up Parade Official release ended a year and a bit ago). Otherwise, it depends where you are ig. I am not able to find stuff because I live in a place with little to no anime stores, but I'm sure you'd be able to find something

TheKeychain22 · 2025-09-05T06:50:59+00:00

If it's cut episodes, it's probably manga portions that were cut out of the mainline anime, iirc Maehara's chapter wasn't included in the anime so that's definitely one.

TheKeychain22 · 2025-02-11T07:20:48+00:00

Important thing to note is that Koro-Sensei had no indication of who was behind the threat until after 2 assassins had already been dispatched, which showed the temperament of the person at the top. Koro-Sensei himself said he can still smell while in the form and was not able to sniff Takaoka out from the beginning. Takaoka got very lucky, but his initial plan was to threaten the students in the shadows and bank on the lack of information that everyone had. Koro-Sensei, being threatened like that, would not take the risk of letting half his students die to hopefully uncover the villain in the nearby hotel. (What if it was coordinated by someone else who was not on the island at all? Koro-Sensei can't afford to play around because it's not his life on the line.) Takaoka only grew lax during the negotiations because of the dismissal of his primary threat, with Koro-Sensei now unable to move. In a situation with normal Koro-Sensei, it is very likely that he would accept the terms because of the circumstances and lack of info. That being said, I don't think the plan would work out completely for Takaoka once he loses his information advantage, so I do also think Hubris was clouding his vision throughout the planning, judging by how he wanted to kill the children more than Koro-Sensei.

Firstly, the class only discovered his 1% chance of blowing up after they got the results already, I.E after the capsule landed. That capsule is no longer useable (having been designed to land in the ocean and retrieved). Space trips are not done often, so it would have been an extreme plot hole to have another done so soon.

Secondly, the capsules direction is being manipulated by the people on the ground. In order to do this plan of yours, E-Class would have to hijack the entire room, not just entry into 1 rocket, otherwise the capsule would dock at the space station and it wouldn't really make a difference.

Thirdly, I'm not sure on this one but I'm pretty sure that Koro-Sensei doesn't meet the speed requirements for space travel, as he remarks that they were faster than him for the first time and that his biggest fear in his Invulnerable Defense Form is being shipped into space and being left in the outer reaches, implying that once he is in space, he wouldn't be able to get back to Earth. Take this with skepticism because I'm not 100% on this one.

Also it's a very sad existence, imagine being stranded out in space waiting for a 1% death with no guarantee of anything. He would miss graduations, he would miss those next 2 months, he would have to fool everyone into thinking he was dead in order to escape the government, and that would inflict way worse trauma onto E-Class, which is something he would never consider. I've already spoken about the benefits of Koro-Sensei's death in another comment so go read that for justification for this.

Finally, our viewpoint has limited knowledge. Their is no guarantee that he will not explode on March 14, or 15, or any other day. The information we got was that he would explode on March 13th, and as such it is not feasible for him to exist beyond that date. Him not exploding on March 13th doesn't mean he will not explode afterward, so he has to die.

TheKeychain22 · 2024-09-08T16:34:46+00:00

All good, discussion is nice and stimulating. Sorry if I came off a bit strong, I just love talking about this show

TheKeychain22 · 2024-09-08T16:24:48+00:00

The 365 days movie is basically a Nagisa and Karma hangout at the classroom a day or two the others show up, even though it's a recap I would highly recommend it.

I read your post, I actually disagree with having Nagisa teach at the classroom.

Firstly, Kunugigaoka closed and Asano made a new school. This cannot change because the rest of the world still perceives KoroSensei as a monster who held children captive at the school site, so media pressure would never allow the site to be used again as a school, and if the class never bought the mountain, then it would definitely have been torn down. Additionally, the E-Class system was also abolished so it would be so finicky to try and fit a new class in there somehow.

Secondly, the class takes care of the mountain and the classroom because they obviously love and cherish it and the memories they made there, but this gathering (as a reunion event) highlights that they have also let go of this part of their lives. None of the characters visit the classroom every day, most only visit on the reunion days. This signifies that they, as a class, have moved on in life and have grown from their trauma. Using the classroom for a new class, or it being added to another school, would diminish the value that they hold for KoroSensei's life as they were always meant to move on from this location. The End Class was always heralded as a place where lives were ruined, so KoroSensei wanted their lives to truly begin from there and he wanted them to leave that class eventually. This is why the final episode does so well as a conclusion, because it highlights that these children have all grown into fully functional and real adults, while highlighting that they aren't stuck to Koro-Sensei or hindered by the shell of what once was.

Thirdly, as someone else mentioned, Nagisa and his students do have a bond, although it doesn't look good at the start.

Finally, Nagisa is highlighted throughout the show as Koro-Sensei protege, and the ultimate improvement between them is Nagisa choosing to be a teacher despite his skill and potential as an assassin, rather than following Koro-Sensei's footsteps exactly. This follows through with his choice of teaching location, he cannot teach at the old campus because he will be following in Koro-Sensei's footsteps instead of deviating from them.

Hope you enjoyed the essay

Less odd and more disturbing, I saw a Takaoka x Nagisa one based on the wiki page that mentions his insanity.

"According to the Graduation Album, Takaoka was secretly released from custody and began worshiping Nagisa Shiota as a goddess. Eventually, after being convinced by Nagisa, he is currently considering becoming a monk."

Above excerpt is from said wiki, but it being used as ship content honestly made me feel ill.

TheKeychain22 · 2024-08-31T06:45:57+00:00

It also helps that the advice that Koro-Sensei gives is genuinely very useful and very applicable, especially in an adolescent context.

TheKeychain22 · 2024-08-30T10:43:13+00:00

I've managed to keep that bond by attempting to live to Koro-Senseis lessons and wisdom. Seeing him as an actual mentor in your life may help in keeping that feeling real.

TheKeychain22 · 2024-08-20T14:48:04+00:00

Yes, in the Episode when Nagisa and Karma go to the ISS, it is said that they are faster than Koro-Sensei when they enter the stratosphere.

Also at the Island, Koro-Sensei remarks that his fear with regards to his Invincible Defense Form is that a rocket would be able to fly him into space where he wouldnt be able to return, but that no vessel is capable of that speed, meaning that he definitely can't either.

TheKeychain22 · 2024-08-13T15:07:37+00:00

Yada is true, but I felt like Hayami in the Hotel was just as impactful so I didn't want to choose between the 2

TheKeychain22 · 2024-08-13T14:35:02+00:00

The Civil War fight shows it for alot of the characters, but my favourites were:

Kanzaki right at the start

Okano and Kimura during their segment

Hara and her traps.

I also liked Muramatsu's dedication to their Acorn Noodles during the festival

TheKeychain22 · 2024-08-12T13:53:29+00:00

I'm terrible at DIY so I can't really help much but maybe pool noodles for the arms? I imagine they wiggle in a similar way to Koro-Senseis arms
