The evaluation results bring a couple of surprises that are welcome. It was always likely to be a narrative about underdogs working difficult to overcome on the recognized favorites, but that subject is taken farther than I anticipated. It is the minor characters that take type E to success when the scores come in. The name of Nagisa just comes up after determining he did not need to take the evaluations seriously and Karma gets unsatisfactory marks. Itis a satisfactory result that plays into Koro Sensei's inclination to see possibility in every one of his pupils.
There is no manipulative address to muster his lackeys, no last minute trump card, not an ominous statement of competition. Rather, Asano plays for the rest of the episode and only gets taunted. I am expecting that he will bounce back fast. It would have been a pity to get the most promising villain of the show go out using a whimper rather than a hit.
Despite several imperfections, Assassination Classroom has done a great job with this particular story arc. It is fine to find out the show is not content to use him while Koro Sensei stays an interesting and likable character. The remaining cast is ultimately in a position to take many the narrative weight, although he is still the best element of the show.
