Assassination Classroom Episode 4 暗殺教室 Anime Review

Irina

In this episode we get to see a whole different side of Koro-sensei. This was probably the first time we got to see him blush and show such similar emotions. We were also introduced to a new character, Irina Jelavic who will be their new temporary foreign-language teacher. Honestly, I fell for it, I mean the way she was introduced to no one could have thought she was pro-assassin who have assassinated notorious targets from all over the world not to mention her command over many foreign languages which makes her easier to interact with almost any foreigner. Though mentioned at the end of the episode that Koro-sensei saw all of that coming, she pretty much tried to seduce Koro-sensei so that she could catch him off guard and her faithful shooters carrying heavy machinery guns could finish him off. But her ignorance led her to her miserable and funny failure.

She is shown like someone who has a lot of pride having successfully completed dangerous assassination by seducing her targets, but that same pride led to her downfall. She just completely screwed up the assassination, not that it was a horrible plan, the execution was bad cause her overconfidence and underestimating of Koro-sensei prove to be main reason for her failure. She used real bullets instead of those provided specifically for Koro-sensei as she thought those latter ones may not be as effective as the real ones. Also interesting to note how all students instantly hated her after she revealed her true personality cause of how things were going, Koro-sensei was all in line to fall into her trap. The students named her "bitch-sensei" or "bitch professor" which was really funny. When she was trying her best and seducing Koro-sensei, I thought he might have turned her down or something considering he is shown to have someone he loved in the very first episode so yea, little shocked to see this side of Koro-sensei but again, he knew her plan all along and he perhaps acted all the way so that he could manipulate her to a point where she would reveal her true identity which she did. We also get to know that Koro-sensei has a really strong nose, like he could tell from the odor of the room they were present in that something was fishy which shows that he has very good awareness of his surrounding.

Besides that we are also show how much Koro-sensei cares about his students as he makes different test paper for different students taking into consideration the subjects they are weak in so that he can improve them. In the end, Irina apologizes to the students for calling them losers and stuff and they pretty much get along. Overall, a really good episode. I'm really happy to see this series back after a short hiatus, the comedy was damn good. I really like the personality and character of Irina but she has to become more flexible in her approach if she wants to really assassinate Koro-sensei. Thank you for reading this anime review, have a wonderful day or night wherever you live!
