Transfer Student Time, 2nd Period is the eleventh episode of the Assassination Classroom anime series. The episode aired on March 27, 2015.

Overview

Another assassin transfer student named Itona joins Class E. Itona shares many traits with Korosensei, and his primary goal is to hunt down Korosensei and kill him. Could this assassination become a successful assassination?

Summary

Before the start of the day, Karasuma receives an email from the Ministry of Defense. It states that the second transfer student will arrive that day along with his attendant. He notifies Korosensei, who tells Class E about the new addition.

Sumire Hara asks Ritsu if the AI knows anything about the new assassin. Ritsu explains that initially, the two were supposed to arrive together. The AI would focus on long-range attacks and the other on close combat to corner Korosensei. This plan was scrapped. However, the second transfer needed more time to be perfected before he could be deployed. Ritsu also admits that the two are incapable of working together, as the other is much more powerful than itself. This leaves the class wondering, as Ritsu had previously been able to hit a tentacle finger. Korosensei, too, is worried, having underestimated the AI.

Soon after, a man dressed entirely in white appears in the classroom. He introduces himself as Shiro, the new student's guardian. As he calls for the new arrival, the back wall is blown open, and a boy emerges from the rain. Sitting between Terasaka and Karma, he declares himself stronger than the wall, annoying the class. Shiro introduces the class to Itona Horibe.

With a strong first impression and an impossible-to-read demeanor, even Korosensei cannot think what to make of Itona. However, Karma notes that despite the downpour outside, Itona is completely dry. Itona states that since Karma is weaker than him, he will live, as he only prefers to fight those stronger than him. He immediately challenges Korosensei to a fight after school, claiming they have similar strengths and habits and are brothers, shocking everyone. As Itona and Shiro leave, the class demands an explanation from an equally flustered Korosensei. He claims he has no idea what Itona is talking about and that he was raised as an only child.

Throughout the day, the class observes the two sharing habits that make it seem like they are brothers, though they debate the possibility, given that Korosensei is not remotely human. In the staff room, Shiro assures Irina and Karasuma that Itona and Korosensei are indeed brothers, and the upcoming fight will prove it. The students continue noting the similarities between Korosensei and Itona, wondering how they could be related.

The classroom is cleared for the fight at the end of the school day. Irina notes that it looks almost like an arena, while Karasuma admits that he has never seen an assassination attempt like this. The rules are simple: a fighter loses if he crosses the desk boundary. Some students doubt the loser will obey this rule, but Karma believes Korosensei will because of his honor and how his students view him. Korosensei adds another rule: forfeiture if a student is harmed. Shiro initiates the fight, and Korosensei's left tentacle is cut off immediately. Everyone is shocked not by the injury but by Itona's hair, wriggling with the same tentacles as Korosensei's.

An enraged Korosensei demands to know where Itona got his tentacles, but Shiro refuses to answer. He claims that, despite having different parents and upbringings, they are indeed brothers. Itona strikes, initially gaining the upper hand by exploiting Korosensei's weaknesses (shedding skin, reducing speed, regrowing his tentacle to use more energy, and a special beam from Shiro that hampers Korosensei's reaction time).

As the fight progresses, Nagisa notes that while it is impressive to watch, it is somewhat disappointing that the students weren't given a chance to discover these weaknesses themselves. After all, they are the ones meant to kill Korosensei.

Korosensei manages to dodge most of the duo's attacks, admitting he had underestimated Shiro's strategy. He declares that for all of Shiro's planning, one factor had been overlooked. Shiro orders Itona to finish Korosensei.

Itona's tentacles seem to land a killing blow but are damaged. It is revealed that Korosensei placed anti-sensei knives on the floor to make it seem like he was struck. With Itona momentarily disarmed, Korosensei uses his shredded skin to cover Itona and toss him out of the building, winning the fight.

Korosensei tries to convince Itona to join the class and learn to work with the students rather than focus solely on strengths and weaknesses. However, Itona hates being lectured and begins to rage. Shiro knocks him out with a wrist device before anything escalates. Shiro takes the unconscious Itona away despite Korosensei's objections and desire for answers about the tentacles.

When Korosensei attempts to stop Shiro, his tentacle hand is destroyed, revealing that Shiro's white robe is made of anti-sensei material.

Later, the class asks why Korosensei is still troubled. He admits he is embarrassed for showing his serious side rather than his usual comedic self. Kirara Hazama teases him about his reaction to seeing Itona's tentacles.

Megu Kataoka asks why he reacted that way, but Korosensei dodges the question, amusing the class with his exaggerated antics. He is surprised they aren't shocked, as they already knew he wasn't human. Nagisa repeats the question but also asks why Korosensei is in his current form and why he's teaching Class E. Korosensei, more seriously, says that they must earn those answers by trying to kill him.

After he leaves, the class approaches Karasuma, asking him to teach them more assassination techniques. They admit they had hoped someone else would do the deed for them but now realize they don't want to return to being Class E nobodies. Inspired by Itona's attempt, Karasuma agrees to help anyone wishing to learn more. Korosensei, nearby, sits in a tree, enjoying snacks and reading a book.
