I'm not sure if I should be disappointed or not – I really expected Asano to be utterly destroyed by his defeat and then rise again some time later after getting over this. But I don't really mind this development.

Asano was once a good guy like Koro-sensei who tried to bring out the talents of each of his students and tried to turn them into good kids. But one of his first students committed suicide because of being pushed around by those stronger than him. And this led to Asano trying to make strong students and he made them strong by making them believe that they're strong by looking down on others (i.e 3-E) so that they aren't pushed around when they grow up. Koro-sensei is also doing what Asano used to do and what he's doing now – he is making strong students who will be able to survive in the harsh world while bringing out their talents and making them good students. But Koro-sensei isn't having his students look down on others which is what makes the two educators different.

Koro-sensei's weakness is that his tentacles barely have any strength so if he's pinned down he's as good as dead – but the problem is that he's hard to catch even when not moving because his tentacles are slippery and slimy lol. Lol that play at the end was so depressing. Isogai knew that depressing girl would come up with a story like this which was all part of the plan. They didn't take this as an opportunity to beat 3-A or anyone else, they took this as an opportunity to have fun and mess around.

Lol. I did not expect that story from that play. I scratched my head the whole time trying to figure out what the f*** is happening.

So the reason why the principal is the way he is is because one of his pupils committed suicide?

I was expecting some tragic gay homosexual backstory but oh well

The principal's backstory was so sad. I almost feel sorry for him. ...Almost... At least he's trying to be a good father now.

The play was hilariously depressing lol.

That's insane.... making 7 Mil alone on stocks in a day. With money like that, who needs a full time job?
Still, the back story was kinda iffy for me. Training up mentally strong and balanced individuals is in part due to education, but also in part due to the educated child's own mentality and outlook on life, you cannot just say that it was all the Principal's fault there, but he took it the wrong way and absolutely ran with it... leading to everything we've seen today. I find it hard to empathize with him..... 7 Mil a day.... :P

The play was something straight out of Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace. I swear that was the feeling I got whilst watching it. So, so good.

Cannot wait to see the final stretch of this show. If I recall all the clues, Koro used to be human once too? Anticipating his back story so much right now.

I loooved this episode. It had its fair share of drama, comedy gold and character interactions. It was also very well realized.
The only thing they maybe could have done is teaser the next episode at least a bit bc it's gonna get crazeyyy. But I understand that would have been too much.

Wow color me surprised, I didn't expect to see the principle redeemed through his backstory like that. It's funny just how much alike Koro sensei and him really are. That backstory was really tragic and made my heart drop. The play part of the episode was a bit weird but hilarious. The big plot twist is coming next episode eh? Can't wait for that.

Eh, I expected something like this from Hazama, the girl is so gloomy. Also, the boys trio as animals was freaking hilarious.

Principal backstory was great. Totally doesn't make up for all the life he destroyed (seriously, how many has the E class existed and created humiliated students?), but at least he was once a cool guy. He sure changed pretty fucking fast though. Took less than a minute to go from ''Hey dude! Let's play basketball!'' to ''I have to create superhuman students''.

That was quite something. I was really surprised about Asano as "nice guy" but I guess it explains how he came to be the kind of person he is now.

I have to say it's kinda sad that he doesn't realize with his way of teaching now he is the reason students might kill themselves. The death of his student definitely took a toll on his perception.


The play at the end was hilarious. That's the way to adjust folktales to the current time xD

Going into this episode I had almost made up my mind to hate Principal Asano forever, but it is good that we get to know about his past and that he is not some trash. I'm glad that he and his son changed for the better.

As for the second half of the episode it was really creative. It had my undivided attention. It took my mid off the assassination for a while but it looks like things are going to get serious now.

Asano is crazy, he would blow himself up.

When we saw a close-up of his tie pin last episode I knew that it was gonna be special. Somehow Asano went from such a caring teacher to only caring about strength huh ... well, he can certainly focus on one thing if he puts his mind to it! I'm a little disappointed it didn't go into his relationship with his son, but the similarities between him and Korosensei ... yep, even the latter knows it! :P I guess they've finally reached an impasse with him allowing them to stay ... that was resolved pretty quickly :O
Also uh ... that play ... yep. That was um ... interesting O_O Just no comment for that really LOL XD

Good Episode with a lot of values.
The flashback history of Aizen principal was a bit unfortunate and a bit tragic to one of his pioneer pupil that committed suicide.
Aizen principal still lost to Korosensei but the twist is Korosensei saved him with his mucus!
2nd part was hard to understand also. What's the play all about? i've gotta rewatch it again.
5/5.

They should drag the antagonism with the Principal a little more, but still his backstory was amazing. I almost forgot what a terrible person he was.

The way Koro sensei got out of his predicament felt pretty convenient. Mostly how the first book just happened to be the book he doesn't know very well. Made the end of the last episode feel a bit trollish.

Really liked the principal's backstory. I can definitely understand the way he is after this.

The play was so random. Mixed feelings on it tbh

One thing I know for sure about that principal is that he really has the passion for teaching. But it became so extreme it's now more like an addiction or obsession. Nice backstory though. He just got schooled by Koro-sensei.

So principal Asano was good teacher when he was younger, but everything changed after that incident...we can clearly see how he became like that.
Koro-sensei memorized all the books hahaha epic xD

Nice to see a less evil Asano principal. The ending makes me hope that the principal can help/assist class e (on how to handle the death of someone they care for) after a successful assassination on Korosensei...

Principal used to be a real person at one point, wow. But Koro-sensei's still a better teacher, he taught his kids to fight back and cope with hardships without resorting to beating them down constantly to try to toughen them up like principal does. And I don't think Koro-sensei would start acting like the principal just because one of his students suicided.

I knew Koro-sensei was going to save him, though, he always saves the bad guys no matter how evil they are. Hopefully he'll stop being so evil now, though, it's getting old.

That play, I'm impressed. I looked up momoteru and that play seemed like a much more entertaining version.

And seems like still more stuff is going down next ep.

While I enjoy the OP, I'm looking forward to a new one. This one's a love song and I always try to figure out who it's about when I watch it. Is if from the students to Koro-sensei? Between Irina and Karasuma? Just a generic love song?
