Plot

In the alternate universe set in an RPG world, the students of Kunugigaoka Junior High School are heroes under training and students of Class 3-E are those with bugs, making them weaker than other heroes. They are tasked to defeat Koro-sensei, an octopus-like creature, who intentionally teaches them so they can assassinate him one day.

Characters

Koro-sensei (殺せんせー, Koro-sensē)
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (Japanese); Sonny Strait (English)
Koro-sensei is a biological made monster who intentionally offered himself to be the teacher of Class 3-E so they could defeat him someday. He was once a hero who achieved everything and grew bored. Aguri Yukimura from Temple of Trade then offered him a position as a Demon King and the robe he wears gave him the yellow octopus-like appearance he has now. Even after becoming the Demon King, he was still bored since nobody could defeat him, hence the reason he wanted to teach Class 3-E.

Voiced by: Mai Fuchigami (Japanese); Lindsay Seidel (English)
Nagisa is one of the students in Class 3-E and the main student character. Unlike other students, Nagisa's bug is randomized, and ranges from making his body buffed to turning back the time without erasing anyone's memory.
