After destroying the moon, an inhuman nigh unkillable creature has decided to destroy the earth in less than a year. For some reason, he has decided to become a High School teacher and under no circumstances will harm his students. His students now have to kill their teacher before he destroys the planet. This may be more difficult than expected, however, as not only Koro-sensei (the name they decided to call the creature) night unkillable, he also is the best teacher they have ever had.

- Berserk Button: Koro-sensei goes to Brazil during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and accidentally mentions the numbers 7 and 1 several times. The thing is, Brazil just lost the semifinal match of the cup in their home by a humiliating score of Brazil 1 x 7 Germany. The result is lot of pissed off brazilians.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Koro-sensei says some odd things sometimes. Like saying that dressing as a dog makes him more able to feel scents.
- Damsel in Distress: Bitch-sensei is kidnapped by the hitman Shinigami, who forces the heroes to try to rescue, since otherwise the Shinigami will cut her into pieces.
- Detonation Moon: And Earth is next if Koro-sensei isn't killed soon enough.
- I Fight for the Strongest Side: Inverted. Bitch-sensei goes through a Face Heel Turn because she believes the "God of Death" has more chances of killing Koro-sensei than the class.
- Innocently Insensitive: Koro-sensei accidently starts a riot against himself by mentioning 7 and 1 out loud a lot of times to grieving brazilian supporters. They try to beat him up.
- Kryptonite Is Everywhere: To be fair, the threat that is Koro-sensei is a closely guarded secret and anyone other than world leaders let in on that secret is more likely than not supposed to kill him and has been supplied special weapons suitable solely for the task of killing him (in fact often these weapons are unsuitable for killing humans).
- Mini-Dress of Power: At first seems inverted, since Bitch-sensei is wearing a mini-dress after being kidnapped by the "God of Death". Then she revealed she was allied to him all the time, and proceeds to fight her students.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: A hitman called "God of Death/Shinigami", period.
- Nigh Invulnerability: Koro-sensei.
- No Endor Holocaust: Considering that 'only' blowing up the Moon to the extent that it was rendered a permanent crescent would be enough to initiate at least a Class 3 Apocalypse in Real Life, the inhabitants of the Assassination Classroom universe sure are lucky to be anime characters. And that Koro-sensei didn't really want to kill any of them, least of all his precious students.
- Stepford Smiler: The Shinigami talks in a friendly, calm tone towards the class. Hinano even thinks he may be a good guy. Karma, however, says that is just a way of seducing his targets before he goes for the kill.
- Unwitting Pawn: The "God of Death" is said to use only this kind of ally to execute his assassinations.
- Would Hit A Girl: The "God of Death" would kill it even.
