Despite all the best efforts of
the students, the inevitable end for Koro Sensei has arrived. A giant laser has
been put into place, aimed at the teacher in a trap he cannot escape, set to
deploy just before dawn. The students urge their teacher to take them hostage
and flee, but that isn’t really an option. So what else is there to do but
celebrate Koro Sensei’s birthday!
Then, just when they thought the
situation couldn’t get any worse, it does – in the form of Yanagisawa and his
other creation, the Grim Reaper who took Koro Sensei’s place and who is
destined to be the next Koro Sensei! The mad scientist claims that his second monster
is twice as powerful as his first. He ridicules the students for bothering to
show up to what he sees as a hopeless situation and doesn’t hesitate to
threaten them in order to see if Koro Sensei will protect them or himself.
And now the final battle begins….
While there is another volume of
the series, to all intents and purposes, this is the last one, at least as far
as Koro Sensei’s story is concerned. Not like we didn’t know it was coming, we
did, from the very beginning. Doesn’t make it any easier to take or
accept. I’ll admit that I cried, even
though I’ve read the books before. RIP
Koro Sensei.
