Anime Relations: Ansatsu Kyoushitsu 2nd Season
Season 2 Episode 15:

Some Preface:

Koro-Sensei told the story of the human memories he had hidden away in third-person, signifying that he no longer acknowledges his former life as being a part of him.

"The only truth he could ever rely on, even as a child, was that if you kill people, they die."

My god, it all makes sense now. The Reaper the class encountered was not the true Reaper. Koro-Sensei is the Reaper. I had my concerns when "Reaper 2.0" as I will call him, seemed so underwhelming in its formidability. The Reaper, having grown up in the slums, poor and out of options, began to kill for his own survival. Those who were knowledgeable, he killed them with strength. Those who were strong, he killed them with intelligence. He gained his name once his kill total exceeded 1000. At one point, he took on a pupil, but the latter betrayed him to the authorities, taking on the name of the former Reaper. That is the Reaper the class encountered early on in Season 2. For months, Dr. Yanigasawa subjected him to a variety of experiments, all intended to create anti-matter within life, with the human body acting as a particle accelerator for such changes. It is here that he met Aguri Yukimura, an assistant to Dr. Yanigasawa and the then-homeroom teacher of Class 3-E. Initially, intending to use her as a pawn in his escape, he becomes acquainted with Aguri, teaching her many subjects and she becomes a better teacher. Eventually, things came to a head about two weeks before the moon was partially destroyed into its current cresent form...


Season 2 Episode 16:

One year after his imprisonment, he receives his tie from Aguri, and she tells him that he would make a great teacher, succeeding where she had been failing. sometime after that, it is then revealed that the moon was destroyed not by The Reaper, but by an anti-matter rat in which it is revealed that Yanigasawa's tentacle serum is in fact unstable, and in the form as they subjected The Reaper to, he set is explode by March 13, coincidentally graduation day at Kunugigaoka Junior High. With that, The Reaper finally shows his greatly enhanced tentacle powers and destroys the facility, but not before Aguri, who survived the building's destruction pleads with him not to leave. As she does so, she is mortally wounded by a still functioning spear launcher trap.

As The Reaper wraps Aguriaround his hands, she compliments his tentacles, telling him as the foreshadowed scene in episode 2 once said, that he would make a great teacher to Class 3-E.

"I could have used that time to heal someone instead of killing those people"

Devastated by Aguri's death, The Reaper leaves, but not before taking the tie and leaving behind the note that Akari/Kaede would later find as he leaves.

Wanting to fulfill a new leaf and repent, he wishes to be weak and flawed, and the tentacles fully transform into Koro-Sensei. He decides to fulfill his promise to Aguri and becomes Kunugigaoka Junior High's Class 3-E homeroom teacher.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"When the tentacles asked him what he wanted to be he told them he wanted to be weak and able to be approached by others and see what it's like for people that are weak. Think about it: If you were a kid in middle school and you had the choice of a terrifying tentacle creature that feels little remorse or a squishy cartoon octopus that truly cares for you as a teacher which would you choose?"

"Itona-"The Tentacles asked me what I wanted to be. I said I wanted to be strong"
Kayano-"The Tentacles asked me what I wanted to be. I said I wanted to be a killer"
Korosensei-"The Tentacles asked me what I wanted to be. I said I wanted to be weak"

Some things you may not have priced together: (the facts with * are important to remember)
-Aguri is the reason why Korosensei loves boobs
-Karasuma (and probably Bitch-sensei too) didn't know Korosensei's full story, just about the experiments
-Korosensei stitched the moon onto the tie*
-Korosensei knew they would feel weird which is probably why he drew jokes and pictures ect on the board to cheer them up
-March 12th is when the moon blew up and korosensei's birthday, March 13th is the day after.***"

- Crystal, KA


With that, everyone becomes emotionally and psychologically down by the truth that they all needed to hear. No one plans assassinations during the winter break, and no one is cheerful on the first day back. Karasuma, who perhaps knew the truth the whole time, tells Koro-Sensei that he should have prepared for this coming: His students no longer have the faith to study, conduct assassinations against him nor have motivation to do anything.
