Anime Look Back: Ansatsu Kyōshitsu S1 Episode 12-22 Summary

Episode 12: As a baseball tournament is to be held, the male students of Class 3-E are forced to play an exhibition match against the top players of the boys baseball club. Despite knowing the odds are against them, particularly when pitted against baseball club captain Kazutaka Shindō, Koro-sensei is prompted to coach the students for the match. On the day of the match, the students of Class 3-E use a bunting strategy to load the bases, allowing Sugino to help the team get an early lead. Not willing to let this slide, Gakuhō takes over as the baseball club's coach to put a stop to the bunting strategy, using the power of hypnosis to turn Shindō into a bloodthirsty warrior. With the bases now loaded against Class 3-E, Karma uses previous provocations he made concerning some unfair play to his own advantage, placing himself and class president Yūma Isogai very close to Shindō, who breaks down from trying to swing his baseball bat without hurting them. This allows the students of Class 3-E to win the match. Afterwards, Sugino expresses how he wanted to show off the friends he made in Class 3-E, managing to rekindle his old friendship with Shindō.


Episode 13: Karasuma evaluates the progress of the students during their training, but he briefly senses a fearsome aura, like that of a python, coming from Nagisa. Soon after, Karasuma's colleague Akira Takaoka is sent to Class 3-E to take over as the new physical education teacher. He initially uses a lightheaded personality to attract the students, but his true nature as a ruthless and sadistic instructor is soon unveiled. When Karasuma withholds Takaoka from torturing the students any longer, Karasuma is challenged to pick one of his star pupils to use a real knife in a match against Takaoka. Karasuma nominates Nagisa, who uses the assassination skills he learned from Karasuma. Nagisa manages to get the upper hand on Takaoka and wins the match. When Takaoka violently objects to defeat, Karasuma beats him back. Gakuhō arrives to fire Takaoka, and Karasuma returns to his position as the physical education teacher.


Episode 14: Koro-sensei takes the students of Class 3-E to their own private pool that he made, but the students are alerted when Koro-sensei's tentacles swell up when soaked in water. Meanwhile, Terasaka becomes irritated when his friends Takuya Muramatsu and Taisei Yoshida are getting along with Koro-sensei. Terasaka agrees to collaborate with Shiro and Itona in their assassination plan, previously dropping a "bug bomb" in the classroom to excrete Koro-sensei's mucus and secretly adding a transmitter in the pool. Then, Terasaka gathers the other students in the pool, using a gun connected to the transmitter as a signal for Shiro and Itona. Instead, the transmitter sets off an explosion and puts the students in danger, forcing Koro-sensei to get his tentacles soaked in order to rescue the students from being swept away. Koro-sensei is left at the mercy of Itona, while Sumire Hara is hanging onto a tree branch nearby. Following Karma's plan, Terasaka uses his shirt still affected by the "bug bomb" to infect Itona, allowing Koro-sensei to rescue Hara whilst the other students splash water to halt Itona. Shiro and Itona are forced to withdraw yet again.


Episode 15: With the final exams approaching, Koro-sensei offers an incentive, in which each student who gets the best overall score in their top subject will get to shoot off one of his tentacles during their next assassination attempt. Meanwhile, Shindō informs the students of Class 3-E about Class 3-A's Big Five (Gakushū Asano, Teppei Araki, Ren Sakakibara, Natsuhiko Koyama and Tomoya Seo), who are all determined to take Class 3-E down. When Nagisa, Manami, Yukiko, Isogai and Rio Nakamura go to study in the main campus library, the Big Five proposes a contest, stating whichever class snags the most top spots in the exams can demand anything from the losing class. While Class 3-A sets their sights on making Class 3-E show complete servitude to them, Koro-sensei proposes his own suggestion of what Class 3-E can ask from their opponents. With both classes determined to win, the stage for the end-of-term final exams is set.


Episode 16: The students of Class 3-E and the students of Class 3-A fight against each other to slay the test problems before them, with the students of Class 3-E benefiting from Koro-sensei's unique teaching methods. When the results are revealed, Nakamura scores higher than Tomoya in English; Isogai scores higher than Gakushū in social studies; and Manami scores higher than Koyama in science. Koro-sensei shuns Karma for losing to Gakushū due to studying very little and being overconfident. Terasaka, Yoshida, Muramatsu and Kirara Hazama each earn an additional tentacle for scoring top marks in home economics, resulting in a total of seven tentacles overall. Having won the wager for the contest, the students of Class 3-E decide to use their reward, a summer vacation at an island resort in Okinawa, as the venue for their assassination attempt.


Episode 17: Prior to their trip, biologist Hinano Kurahashi helps Nagisa, Sugino and Hiroto Maehara hunt for bugs, while pervert Taiga Okajima shows them his own trap laid out for Koro-sensei using a pile of porn magazines. However, Kurahashi becomes fascinated when Koro-sensei spots a rare stag beetle worth a ton of yen. Later, Lovro is called in to help train the students for their island assassination, taking interest in the two top marksmen of the class, Ryūnosuke Chiba and Rinka Hayami. After telling Nagisa about the world's most infamous assassin known only as The Reaper, Lovro decides to teach Nagisa a surefire assassination technique. The students of Class 3-E soon arrive at their island resort, making all the necessary preparations for their assassination. After having dinner, during which Koro-sensei inadvertently uses up his emergency shedding technique to get rid of sunburn, the class begin their assassination attempt aboard an on-sea chapel.


Episode 18: Koro-sensei is forced to watch an hour-long movie edited and narrated by Kōki Mimura exposing all of Koro-sensei's embarrassing habits, used as a distraction from the chapel slowly filling with water and bloating up his tentacles. Once the students of Class 3-E shoot off the seven tentacles, they surround and block Koro-sensei with a hydraulic cage, allowing Chiba and Hayami to snipe him. However, Koro-sensei activates his ultimate defense, trapping himself in an indestructible crystal sphere, which will last for one day despite his limited movements. As the students lament their failed assassination attempt, many of them suddenly and severely fall ill. This is revealed to be the work of a mysterious third party who had spiked their drinks with a supposedly deadly virus, demanding that the remaining students and teachers bring him the immobilized Koro-sensei in exchange for the antidote. Deciding against the trade-off, Koro-sensei and Ritsu instead come up with a plan to infiltrate the high-security hotel and obtain the antidote.


Episode 19: Manami and Kōtarō Takebayashi stay behind to take care of the poisoned students. A team of fifteen healthy students along with Karasuma, Irina and Koro-sensei scale up a mountainside to sneak into the hotel undetected. With the first floor lobby area heavily monitored by bodyguards, Irina uses the art of seduction and her skills in playing the piano to distract the bodyguards, so that the others can reach the next floor. On the third floor central hall, the group comes across their first opponent named Smog, who is responsible for serving the spiked drinks to poison the students with the virus. Smog hits Karasuma with a canister of paralysis gas, but Karasuma still musters up the strength to knock out Smog. On the fifth floor scenic walkway, the group finds their next opponent named Grip. Not intimidated when Grip easily breaks a glass window with his fist, Karma makes up for his failure in the final exams and steps up to fight against Grip.


Episode 20: After Karma dodges Grip with his fistful of grabs, Grip hits Karma with a canister of paralysis gas. However, Karma manages to cover his mouth with a handkerchief in time and hits Grip with another canister of paralysis gas, allowing the students to bind up Grip with duct tape and move onward with their mission. In order to unlock the back entrance to the stairs and reach the next floor undetected, Meg Kataoka has the female students dress up Nagisa as a girl, and they all make their way through the sixth floor lounge. A rich guy named Yūji Norita spots Nagisa and tries to impress by buying him a drink. However, when the girls call for Nagisa to leave with them, Yūji tries to stop them by dancing. Yūji ends up accidentally spilling a drink on a guest, prompting Hinata Okano to knock out the guest with a somersault kick before trouble arises. The students move on to the VIP floor, where Terasaka knocks out two bodyguards using some stun guns, obtaining two pistols that are given to Chiba and Hayami. Upon reaching a theater stage, the students face off against their next opponent named Gastro.


Episode 21: Gastro, who has a keen sense of pinpointing enemy gunfire, turns on all the stage lights, in which the students are forced to hide behind the theater seats. Koro-sensei instructs the students using varying nicknames in order to confuse Gastro about the students' movements, giving Chiba and Hayami the encouragement to rise above their failed assassination and get the drop on Gastro. Koro-sensei deduces that the mastermind is not an assassin, while Nagisa learns that Terasaka secretly has been infected with the virus this whole time. The students finally arrive on the top floor and discover that the mastermind is none other than Takaoka. He takes the antidote concealed in a suitcase and brings the group up to the roof. Wanting revenge for being humiliated during their previous knife fight, Takaoka calls up Nagisa to the heliport for a rematch. Takaoka demands Nagisa to kneel before him and apologize for pulling a cheap trick during their match. Although Nagisa complies with this, Takaoka detonates the antidote right in front of the class. This makes Nagisa pick up a knife in preparation to kill Takaoka.


Episode 22: Before Nagisa completely gives into his anger, Terasaka throws a stun gun at him, urging him not to become a murderer and think about what is truly important. Despite being heavily beaten by Takaoka, Nagisa uses what he learned from Lovro to perform his secret technique. Nagisa drops the knife and surprises Takaoka with a sudden clap, just before using the stun gun to bring him to his knees. Then, Nagisa shocks Takaoka unconscious after leaving him with a fearsome smile. Smog, Grip and Gastro suddenly arrive and reveal that the virus they created is nothing more than temporary food poisoning, as they did not agree with Takaoka's harsh methods. The next day, the poisoned students recover from their symptoms and Koro-sensei emerges from his crystallized state. The students make the most of the remainder of their vacation before returning to school for the second term of their assassination classroom.
