The students have to learn to balance their assassination attempts with the lessons from Koro-sensei, who is surprisingly an excellent teacher, while the government offers a ¥10 billion reward for his head. Each episode often focuses on individual students, their growth, and their internal conflicts between wanting to kill their teacher and growing to care for him.
