Ryoma Terasaka

Ryōma Terasaka is a student in Korosensei's class 3-E in Kunugigaoka Junior High School.

Appearance
Terasaka has short, spiky, black hair which is dyed blonde around the side. He has a bulky body which he uses to intimidate people with.

Personality
Terasaka is one of the more independent members of the class, staging assassinations at his own pace.

He was a bully and enjoyed picking on people because of his big build and loud voice, since he is rather dim-witted and relies on others to make plans for him to follow. This makes it very easy to manipulate him.

He is also quick to anger and is very lazy which is why he's in Class E. He disliked Koro-sensei and how extraordinary Class E is now unlike how it used to be (which was a boring and depressing place).

Though he acts as if he doesn't, he cares about the class and was extremely disturbed when Shiro put them in danger.

History
Rather than using his brains and wit to succeed in life, Terasaka relied on his strong build and loud voice to use others to his advantage. This also meant that he could bully others into submission with ease and it is implied that he also made them do his work for them, which was probably how he got into Kunugigaoka Junior High in the first place.

Upon being admitted into the school he was put in the same class as a one-day member of the Five top scorers in Class A, Natsuhiko Koyama. Though Terasaka initially attempted to persuade the hard-worker into submission, he soon found that the school, which was so focused on grades, would make his bullying ways obsolete and soon found himself in Class 3-E as a result of his poor academic skills.

Though Class 3-E was a very depressing place, Terasaka was perfectly fine with it because it meant he would not have to work hard and could just cruise through his school life without doing much (if any) work. However that all changed when Korosensei appeared and the entire class was soon drawn into the prospect of assassination and thus greatly encouraging them which did not sit well with Terasaka at first.

Plot
Terasaka is introduced in Chapter 1 like the rest of the class. After the class's first failed attempt to collectively kill Korosensei, he and his two friends Takuya Muramatsu and Taisei Yoshida pressured fellow classmate Nagisa Shiota into carrying out their plan. Terasaka made Nagisa into a suicide bomber of sorts when the latter falls onto Korosensei with a toy grenade filled with anti sensei BBs inside around Nagisa's neck, which Terasaka then remotely detonated. However, Nagisa was unharmed by Korosensei's shedded skin, with the teacher himself very pissed that Terasaka pulled such a stunt. To make him and the class fully understand the ramifications of such an act, Korosensei grabbed all of their family nameplates from their houses, stating that while he cannot harm the students, no condition was made to hurt their families or destroy the whole world but them. Although very scared by this, Terasaka argues back stating that an annoying being like Korosensei has to be killed by any means necessary to defend themselves, which puts Korosensei back into a good mood. While he commended the plan and Nagisa's execution of it, the fact that Terasaka and his friends did not care for Nagisa's wellbeing means that they cannot be called assassins.

Since then, Terasaka mainly stayed out of or did not assist his other classmates' assassination attempts. As time passed on and the students grew more friendlier with their teacher, Terasaka became increasing isolated. He gets a major spotlight in the Summertime Arc, where his isolation from the class and increasing irritation at Korosensei came to a head. Wanting things to return as it did before Korosensei's arrival, Terasaka disrupted his classmates' fun and helps Shiro and Itona in preparing their next plan, smashing a can of smoke inside the school classroom and contaminating the newly-created pool to hamper Korosensei's abilities. When Shiro's plan is completely prepared, Terasaka orders the reluctant class to help him kill the teacher at the pool. But when Terasaka unknowingly blows up the pool's dam and putting the students in the pool in danger of being killed, he realises he'd been manipulated by Shiro, and thus helps Karma defeat Shiro and Itona's plan.

Abilities
Strength: One of Terasaka's more noticeable features is his physical strength. This has been noted by both Karasuma and Itona.

Durability: Out of all the students of Class E, his durability is among the highest, if not the highest. He has been shown to be able to withstand direct attacks from Itona's tentacles and was able to hide his poison symptoms for hours during the Assassination Island arc.

Itona Horibe
Itona and Terasaka are good friends despite the former continuously calling the latter stupid and idiotic. Terasaka is the one who managed to open Itona's heart and convince him to change his ways. After Itona reforms and becomes an official student of Class E, he joins Terasaka's group.

Kirara Hazama

Taisei Yoshida

Quotes
