class E location and appearance

The 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.

class E history

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.

class 3-E

Class 3-E (3年E組, San-nen E-gumi) or simply Class E is the lowest ranked class of Kunugigaoka Junior High School. It is nicknamed the "E-as-in-End Class" and consists of students who either failed to keep their grades up (i.e. Yukiko Kanzaki, Nagisa Shiota) or were punished for breaking school regulations (i.e. Yuma Isogai, Karma Akabane). The current year of 28 third-year students were tasked with a mission to assassinate an unknown destructive lifeform who they named Korosensei.

assassination classroom plot

Currently, Class E is the location of a government confidential assassination of their homeroom teacher, Korosensei. Because it is secluded away from the main building, the students and teachers are able to carry out their assassination attempts without the people from the main school knowing or noticing.

Tadaomi Karasuma's personality

Karasuma is a strict but kind man, though he keeps a distance between himself and the students due to his status as an agent and his own professionalism. He is also extremely dense when it comes to love, but isn't so oblivious that he eventually doesn't figure it out. Even though he comes off as distant, he's not completely devoid of emotion and seems to be able to express happiness very rarely, most notably, during violent situations.
