Assassination Classroom Season 2 Episode 6: Preschool Time

The next midterms are approaching and things are becoming more tense as the students study for these important exams, while also realizing they’re reaching the deadline to assassinate Koro-sensei, so the classroom is pretty tense. But then something happens where both things are put on hold because of the kids’ dumb mistake.

Feeling pretty good about themselves, the kids jump from building to building to go home. When a couple of the boys jump off from the building and on to the street they accidentally crash on top of an old man on a bicycle. His femur got a slight fracture later when they kids find out at the hospital where the old man is. Karasuma is there trying to keep the E-Class’s secret, basically bribing the old man not to press charges or anything. Koro-sensei appears and he’s PISSED. He lightly gives each student a slap, angry at them for the mess they caused and taking advantage of their skills. It’s then Koro-sensei decides that the students are forbidden from studying for the next midterm exams, which shocks them all. He profusely apologizes to the old man and determines what his class will do to make up for what they did.

Turns out, the old man is the principal of a preschool. It’s a small rundown building a little ways from town. The school has little money and hardly any staff except for the principal and the one teacher there, so the old man is the one that does the most work with handling the children while also buying food, water, and supplies for the children, which he was doing when the accident took place. So Koro-sensei made the deal that his students will help out at the preschool every day for two weeks, the old man’s recovery time, to help teach the kids a lesson about themselves. And they do just that. It was a pretty cute episode, with the E-Class helping the kids with their homework, putting on a small play for them (I feel like Karma/Okuda is a thing? Cute), playing with them, and also helping renovate the building. We had a small moment with a pink-haired girl named Sakura being a little rude, Nagisa in charge of helping her with her studies. We learn she doesn’t go to school because of bullies, and so she’s behind on her studies and she flat out refuses to go back to school. Well, with a scene with the boys helping a kitty out of a tree and some wisdom words from Nagisa, little Sakura improves.

When the two weeks are up, the old man returns to the school with Koro-sensei is shocked with what he sees. The small building from before is gone. Because it was rebuilt into a big log building. Two stories, with donated books in the library, a place where the children can study, a play area, and of course they repaired the bike the boys ruined in the accident to an even better bike. Also, the E-Class made all the children happy. The old man has no complaints, in fact he’s really happy. And so are the E-Class students, and they apologize to the trouble they also caused to Karasuma, learning their lesson that they need to be more careful with their powers and skills, while also knowing that they can use their skills not just to assassinate, but also to help others like they did with the children in the preschool.

But unfortunately, they did what they were told and didn’t study for the midterms, and it was a disaster. None of them reached the top spots…except for Karma, who has actually been studying ever since break. But Karma has always been the smartest. But unfortunately they lose one battle with the A-class students, but at least Karma was able to talk smack to them.

Mellow episode, I thought they were going to make a bigger deal about the midterms, but at least I enjoy the show mentioning that the E-Class has little time to kill Koro-sensei. With the new clothes they got in the end, it should be fun to see how they’ll use it in their next assassination attempt.
