Why is it that in omegaverse worlds, betas are treated so weirdly? They are often the majority of the population or in equal amounts as omegas or alphas but are often shoved to the side and treated as the 'cuck' gender.

Omegaverse reflects real-world sexism (omegas = women and alphas = men), so what are betas? What third gender roles would they have? It is a hard concept for most people to grasp that there are more than two genders, so here are my thoughts. Realistically, they would probably be treated as 'workers' or the 'smart' gender and pushed to be successful rather than mindlessly reproduce, and would probably be the most liked gender due to being the most neutral (not overly aggressive/ allowed to take up space). They would be the equivalent of the second-oldest brother, not first in line for the throne, but a valid second option.

In most stories, alphas are supposed to be good at leading due to being so dominant over others, but in my experience in knowing or working with others, that is not the case. Aggressive people (think frat boys) who are put into positions of power often become lazy and self-centred, and although this is similar to real life, it's not ideal. Most betas would make up smaller managers and would be the better ones due to being more level-headed and, again, hardworking (not just from a lack of ruts/heats, but also temperament), but if they do get sidelined, it should have world-building implications and is probably not a good thing.

Betas in fanfiction are often either 'bitched' (turned into omegas) by alphas, go into heat/rut later than the rest of the population, 'revealing their true gender' partway through, or just 'can't satisfy an omega', so an alpha has to step in, even if the beta and the omega have been in a long-term relationship.

Saying that an omega can't be satisfied by a beta and needs an alpha is very reflective of current world homophobia against lesbians, which is funny considering that omegaverse was created as slash fiction. I don't think that primary gender would play a part in sexism in a real-world omegaverse scenario, so a gay ship being turned into practically (especially in mpreg omega or fem pregnator alpha scenarios) hetero feels wrong. I think it's especially wrong since a lot of real-life gay relationships don't have a 'man' or 'woman' in the relationship and will subvert gender roles/ not have them in their relationship. To take away the oppression and real-life struggles of gay people might seem like a good thing, unless you completely change what it means to be homosexual. The idea that betas are just shoved to the side and supposed to pair up with each other and not date an omega or alpha seems a lot closer to being gay than dating someone else of the same primary gender, so being homosexual would probably be (at least mostly) dependent on secondary, not primary gender. It feels wrong to not represent third genders and unconventional relationships, given the easy chance to, because it furthers the idea that heteronormative relationships are the ideal and nothing else is allowed/normal.

What's really weird is that there is more alpha/alpha or omega/omega (although sparingly compared to omega/alpha), but it just feels weird to leave out what is considered the more common gender or equally as common. It just feels like even if the characters are alpha/alpha or omega/omega it's easier to write due to stereotypes, or that only omegas and alphas are interesting or normal to write about as if that doesn't create harmful stereotypes of betas. The stereotype that they are an inferior partner that creates insatisfaction, are boring or a cheap copy is something to write about and there are characters that are treated like that in Canon and even more people like that in real life and that doesn't make them uninteresting, it often makes people misunderstood because personality is a lot more than preferences, leadership styles, or priorities and they are worthy of being represented, appreciated and loved.

Although omegaverse started as a smut genre, it has developed beyond that now. There is a lot of reflection on misogyny in the way that omegas are treated, so why can't writing on betas reflect this? I know that it's just a fanfiction genre, but it feels like all fanfiction right now is so concerned about being perfect and having perfect love interests. I don't want perfect, I want losers who have opinions and outlooks and flaws, not just passive flaws, but enneagram things that need to be fixed outside of a love interest. Things that they don't want to change, or apologize for. Things that make them harmful and selfish. People that might look 'boring' on the outside are often much more interesting on the inside than people realise.

I hate the 10yr, Manga, anime, and timeskip outfits so here's what I think actually teenage misfits would wear.

Here are some of my headcanons for 3-E. Very short but I think I included everyone and tried to give the a clear character arc/ direction while still making them redeemable/ likeable and may or may not have ignored parts of canon.

E-1 Akabane Karma

Idk if I actually have normal hcs for him, but is really chalant in a way that unsettles people. Can be very witty and jokey one moment and will lock in the next. Likes really weird niche music but says he likes dad rock to appear cool so gets called a poser, especially as he starts dressing more formally. Ragebaits little kids on roblox and is super competitive.

E-2 Isogai Yuuma

Fun class president who is always there for everyone. Used to being the parent who stepped up (oldest child). Kind and patient leader that chose to be kind after his abusive dad left his mom. Always there to be a helping hand.

E-3 Okajima Taiga

Photographer that got framed by the photographer in the big 5 for 'being a perv' and 'taking photos without people's permission.' Okajima actually isn't like this, he cares about people's consent but was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

E-4 Okano Hinata

'Tomboy' who is aggressive/ faces things head-on. Tsundere that can't deal with vulnerability so chooses to act tough. Liked Maehara's non-committed commitment but eventually fell for him. Flexible gymnast who specializes in vault. Hates studying/does things last minute.

E-5 Okuda Manami

Scientist with a special interest in chemistry. Doesn't understand that complexity of conversation so just decides to stay quiet. Learns to speak better to classmates slowly but very blunt and oblivious to euphisms.

E-6 Kataoka Megu

Organised, practical leader (class rep). Likes order and is focused/ not easily distracted. Does commit to a lot and takes her responsibilities seriously. Used to prioritise others and tutor/help them before herself. Learns to find balance and fun.

E-7 Kayano Kaede/Yukimura Akari

Actress that wanted revenge for her sister. Exaggerated her love of pudding and innocent look. Gave Nagisa incentive to be more scary to better hide herself. Is actually bubbly but more mature and perceptive. Wears her hair down but keeps dying it green after revealing herself, showing the 'combining' of her two identities.

E-8 Kanzaki Yukiko

Quiet 'chill' girl that tries to act relaxed but is actually very judgmental. Likes being 'better' than others (being nice, pretty, well behaved/ mannered). Does enjoy gaming to have absolute control of everything and likes being the leader/ boss.

E - 9 Kimura Mayoshi

Awkward, dorky runner that's insecure. Likes being active, being liked and making dumb jokes. Feels trapped in the identity his parents created for him/ is crushed by their standards so often feels like he 'isn't himself.

'E - 10 Kurahashi Hinano

Happy, bubbly girl that likes outside/ tramps, flowy dresses, flowers and bugs. Likes the calmness of nature and is very optimistic. Believes that 'love always wins in the end'/ everything will work out for the better. Struggles with school/reading.

E-11 Shiota Nagisa

Deceiver that plays into people thinking he is weak and timid when he is actually very perceptive and is always planning ahead. Knows that his mother doesn't truly love him and sometimes wishes his dad had won custody. Very good at spotting weaknesses.

E-12 Sugaya Sosuke

Like to be creative due to being constantly told he was dumb for being slow to absorb new information. In arts, he feels he can put as much time as he needs to get good at it without being ridiculed for starting out bad. Laid back, go-with-the-flow kinda guy.

E-13 Sugino Tomohito

Classic selfless hero (gryffindor) who likes saving people, getting glory and baseball. Focused too much on sport and not enough on school. Can be impulsive but is very passionate. The dad friend that isn't afraid to tell you the truth/his honest opinion. The only person with common sense.

E-14 Takebayashi Kotaro

Underrated. Burnt out lifted kid who doesn't like studying and only feels relieved, rather than happy after achieving goals, yet feels disappointment for failing. Quiet and serious but a hard worker and nice person to those in his inner circle. Constantly stressed.

E-15 Chiba Ryunosuke

Very reserved and chill guy that listens to loud music with a straight face. Kinda unmotivated and doesn't think very highly of himself. Hates having uncontrolled background noise and can only do things one task at a time.

16-E Terasaka Ryoma

Grew up praised for strength so learnt to sit back and make others fear him/turn them into lackeys. Feels insecure about his capability as a leader after realizing his faults so feels more comfortable taking a step back and letting others take over.

E-17 Nakamura Rio

A confident, inappropriate force of nature. Unpredictable, headstrong girl that loves chaos and drama. She's manipulative and lives in the moment, prioriting fun and herself. Spent so long thinking being funny, cool and silly that her grades started slipping.

E-18 Hazama Kirara

Loves the darker, more nuanced sides of life like mortality, obsession and human flaws. Believes everything will go wrong, and nothing has meaning but that is good/fun. Loves true crime and goth music and thinks normal horror is overrated. Dislikes school and authority/craves freedom and equal rights without bullshit rules.

E-19 Hayami Rinka

Feels she doesn't have a lot so say so just silently observes. Only understands tangible things/ hates metaphoric language but never says how she really feels/what she wants to say. Takes a while to understand things and is better in specializing in one thing as she's a hard worker.

E-20 Hara Sumire

Likes cottagecore, knitting, cooking and things being organised. Bad at math/ with numbers and formulas. Knows when to prioritise herself but enjoys looking after others. Has "the tone" and disapproving stare that shakes almost anyone and does thumbs down at bad drivers.

E-21 Fuwa Yuzuki

Loves eavesdropping/hearing gossip, shit-talking and doing stupid, impulsive things. Brutally honest and expressive, doesn't back down from a challenge. Fuwa loves to solve mysteries/figure people out. Did too much binge watching and procrastinated study to the last minute.

E-22 Maehara Hiroto

Sweetheart with boyish humour and genuine feelings for his many girlfriends. Loves having human connections (friends, girlfriends) and very open and honest. Smart, but lazy (slacker) in sports and school, but not dates.

E-23 Mimura Koki

Genuinely nice guy. Not very good with confrontation and a big procrastinator. Habit of escapism but is a friendly peacekeeper. Also not very good at sports, timing jokes correctly or keeping eye contact.

E-24 Muramatsu Takuya

Unmotivated to do anything due to hating failure when trying hard. Pessimist you thrives on being 'chill' and saying sarcastic, inappropriate things. Loves ragebaiting and horror.

E-25 Yada Toka

Views herself as how others see her (pretty) and people as means to an end. Grew up too quickly and became male/ attention seeking as a survival mechanism to deal with all the degrading comments and looks. Sometimes wonders what she truly wants in life.

E-26 Yoshida Taisei

Passionate people pleaser that pretends not to care or try but cares the most. Can be surprisingly witty sometimes but is mostly too shy and reserved to say anything. Would rather do noting and be nonchalant to 'protect his peace' than take the risk which means he often doesn't do anything he wants.

E-27 Ritsu

Robot that would hate Ai due to all the issues with water usage and stealing from human artists. Her voice and personality can sometimes lag or glitch when given too complicated choices.

E-28 Itona Horibe

Very out of touch with his emotions. Stuck in survival mode so will often question the point in things. Very observant and mumbles more than he talks normally. Is fascinated by systems and efficiency and moving parts but tell him to explain the physics behind and he'll inform for HOURS.

This is set in an au where Karma doesn't hold back against Nagisa in the red vs blue arc. Also, Nagisa pulls out a real knife instead of a fake one. About the backlash he receives after this. Did sprinkle in some Karasuma fatherly moments to Karma and Sugino-Nagisa friendship but whatever. I don't actually want to write the fic of the fight, because I do martial arts and fights are a lot faster than reading speed.

-

The E-class is quieter than usual. A once bustling atmosphere is filled only by whispers. Until it goes silence at the sight of the cause of disruption of peace. 

Karma walks into class, eyes empty and unfocused. He plops down into his seat and sits, motionless, staring blankly at his desk.

Sugino approaches him, angry over Nagisa's injuries due to Karma. He snaps at him. "Why do you have to be such an asshole? You broke Nagisa's fucking arm and gave him a concussion!" 

Karma continues staring at the table. "I had to." Sugino shouts "no you didn't!" Karma looks up at him with crazed eyes. "I did... I... had to, he gave me no choice. I didn't want to fight him, but if I didn't he'd kill me, so I had to. I couldn't risk it."

"You hurt him." Sugino states. 

Karma snaps, shouting with shaky hands. "So what! You just hate that I hurt your precious Nagisa! But you would've let him hurt me... You all just hate me! You think I'm a monster." His eyes flash with anger and he snaps his head up.

"I didn't want this! But it doesn't matter, you guys hated me before, so of course you hate me now! You all exclude and fear me based off rumours you know nothing about. You hate me and critisise my every move, my every breath. And you still aren't happy. I hear the things you all say behind my back."

Karma pauses for a moment before continuing. "You all think you are different from the main building, but you are just like them, you're just as exclusive."

"And you didn't deserve a one day suspension, you need to be expelled." Sugino replies. 

"You think I should be expelled for defending myself? Nagisa was just as bad as me; he tried to stunt clap me, he pulled out a real knife on me! Have you seen what he did to Takaoka-sensei? He killed him not once, but twice and drove him to insanity. All I ever hear you talk about is how 'evil' and 'sadistic' I am, but that isn't all I am! It's just all you hypocrites care about," Karma finishes. 

He pauses to look down at his table then back up at Sugino. Karma stands up, grabs Sugino by the collar and says "I don't know what your fucking problem with me is, but I'm tired of it. Grow up and move on. I haven't done anything to you!" 

He throws Sugino back and walks out of the classroom, past Karasuma standing in the doorway, into the staffroom and sits on the couch, delfated.

"Maybe they're right. Maybe I am a monster. The only thing I'm good at is hurting people." Karma puts his head in his hands.

Karasuma walks in. He sits down next to Karma and rubs at his back, consoling him. Karma lifts his head, disgusted and about to snap until he realizes who it is. His shoulders drop and he leans back against the couch, looking up at the ceiling. 

"Why do they all hate me? Nagisa is distant, Sugino has some kind of grudge against me, I'm too 'inappropriate' for Okuda, too mean for Terasaka, too much of a buzz kill for Rio and a freak to everyone else."

Karma looks at Karasuma too softly for Karasuma's liking. Karasuma's brow furrows.

"They're afraid of you. You don't have a very good reputation and your fight with Grip scared them. They don't realize the impact on you because they don't understand you. You are very closed off, Karma. You didn't let Nagisa in and you've taken a while to let me in." 

Karma looks down at his hands in his lap. "Who says I let you in." 

Karasuma's hand moves to Karma's shoulder, bringing him closer. Although Karma stiffens, he doesn't lean away. "If I were anyone else, including Koro-sensei whom you also admire, you would've sent me away. But you've let me stay."

"Look, you don't want to be alone, you're afraid of what will happen if you're not. But closing yourself off won't get you many friends. I would say you should apologize to Nagisa, and ask to be his friend." 

Karma opens his mouth to say something but stops when he sees Karasuma glare at him. "Ask to sit with him and his friends, and to hang out with them this weekend." 

"But, what if they say no?" Karma asks. "Then I will talk to them or you could try talking to Terasaka, or Isogai even." Karasuma replies.

Karma sighs. "Do I have to-" "Yes." Karasuma states firmly. "Ugh, fine." Karma groans.

Karma gets up and stomps to the door. He rounds the corner to walk back to class but is stopped by Nagisa dragging around a defeated Sugino. Nagisa has a fake smile on his face that  can only mean business.

Nagisa drops Sugino's collar. Sugino rubs at his neck and sighs. "I'm sorry I judged you. I didn't realize you were upset what we did." Sugino says. 

Karma pushes Sugino to the side. "Nagisa, I'm sorry that I concussed you and broke your arm, I felt I had no other choice. I'm actually sorry about a lot now that I think about it. Like cutting you off and not telling you why, putting you in a skirt an-" Sugino cuts off Karma by putting a hand on his shoulder. 

Nagisa thanks Sugino, then talks. "I'm sorry for attacking you with a real knife and scaring you. But why did you cut me off and never talk to me again?" 

Karma looks at the floor. "You poked me in the back one time at a restaurant and I thought you were going to kill me." Karma laughs, trying (and failing) to lighten the mood. "I was... scared so I left. I didn't want you to hurt me. I'm sorry" 

Nagisa pauses, then speaks. "It's fine. Just don't do it again. Also, you can come sit with us at lunch, you probably don't like sitting at that tree in the forest all by yourself." 

Karma smiles. "I don't mind it, it's a nice spot. But I'll move if you want me to so bad. Besides, how else will I tease you and Kayano?" He walks off back to class, shoving his hands in his pockets and visibly relaxing, a lazy smirk coming to his face.

I'm tired of seeing pervert characters (mineta) and especially when they are just given leeway to be horrible, perverted and harass women with no consequences so here's my proposal:

Although Okajima may seem like a pervert due to rumours spread about him (and being a photographer), he was just framed by Araki but tries his best to be respectful. Araki took an upskirt photo and framed the nearest person who coincedentally happened to be interested in photography. He was sent to the E-Class (his poor grades didn't help) and got a terrible reputation. Fuwa wrongly critisises him for being ugly and a horrible person after he gets mad over her getting dared to ask him out and as punishment, has to go on the date and actually get to know him. She learns he is awkward, but well meaning, and very interested in the manga she tells him about.

This would send a better message not to judge people and strengthen the message that the main building kids (especially the main five were bad people)

This is probably controversial but I'm so sick of seeing karmagisa everywhere so idgaf

Can I just say that Sugino is actually Nagisa's best friend, not Karma. Nagisa and Karma aren't even friends until halfway through season two. I mean Karma doesn't really have any friends other than Okuda, Rio, or maybe Terasaka, so he probably sits alone. But he isn't friends with Nagisa, he just leeches off him when he has to interact with someone.

Also, their relationship is really unhealthy. I would argue Karma putting Nagisa in a skirt after his arc with his mum is out of character but Karma is good at pushing boundries and Nagisa isn't good at putting up boundries so Karma ends up accidentally crossing the line. I say accidentally becuase after Yuuji, Nagisa is ever feminised again. Also, Karma is scared of Nagisa. He talks to Okuda about being scared to put his guard down again after Nagisa scared him and made Karma think Nagisa was going to murder him, which isn't healthy.

I think it's really funny that the fans always use the Civil War Arc (my least favourite arc which I will definitely redesign) to justify their ship even though it's a fight between the two. I feel like Karma is so out of character here because he wouldn't just 'give up' on his team, his classmates because of a friendship he ended no matter how much he cared for him. It's really clear that this arc is only set up to put Nagisa against Karma and win because the Karma that I know wouldn't be taking chances against Nagisa. In fact, Karma is the only character to not underestimate Nagisa (after getting poked ('stabbed') in the back by him). I think he wouldn't feel bad about taking Nagisa down until after he did because when you're fighting, you don't have time to stop and think, the adrenaline is pumping and I think given his fighting prowess againgst Grip, Karasuma, the guys in Karma's flashback in this arc and against all the other people he presumably gets into fights with, he would have beaten Nagisa (who's only talent is deception).

So Nagisa get harrassed/made uncomfortable or is cut off by Karma, and Karma's trust issues are heightened by Nagisa. So their relationship is unhealthy for both parties.

Sugino however, doesn't try to overstep Nagisa's boudries and in every scene Sugino is in, Nagisa is close by. They are shown to be quite good friends and I think it's so wierd that Sugio gets next to no screen time so a lot of their relationship will be headcanon and my redesign. I would assume that Sugino is at least a little bit concerned for Nagisa and seems to be caring but realistic, both in general and towards Nagisa, his best friend. He seems to hang out with Nagisa like over the summer break when they caught bugs together and seem to be close. Also, their relationship is healthy and Sugino would be respectful towards Nagisa and Nagisa would admire Sugino. Overall, their friendship is healthy so if it ever turned romantic it would be much better than karmagisa

This is my interpretation of the map of the hill (with a small version of the main building). There are trees out the back with benches to sit at and bathrooms are at the back of the E-Class building.

This is my interpretation of the friend groups. I did ignore a bit of canon but who cares.

Here are some more of my assassination classroom redesigns of characters

Teachers:

Korosensei

This one is really contravertial because everyone loves him so much but I don't really get the hype. In my AU, he's more human like and is less of a perfect teacher but more like a really informed, fun teacher that makes learning fun, tells jokes and seems to know everything. He loves telling jokes, is always there to talk to and is the more approachable teacher. He always had a passion for teaching and helping people and longed for something more than his assassin life (also he's known as the grim reaper for being a quick, cutthroat assassin, not the best one). He starts teaching during one of his jobs and enjoys it so much he starts to live a double life. One of his students (Grim reaper 2.0) feel he is too professional and cold (which he is in this point in time due to his job) and finds out about his life, then sells him out. When experimented on, he's angry, but mostly disappointed he couldn't teach more until Aguri steps in. She teaches him how to be fun. When she dies, she hands over her class and Korosensei realises while teaching them that he doesn't want to die, he wants to keep teaching.

Karasuma Tadaomi

Serious, strict and proffessionl teacher that gets stuff done and is very practical and organised. Although he started off distant, he starts to care for the students nad grows closer to both Irina and his students over time. He might not be as friendly as Korosensei or Irina, but you can always trust him to listen and make the right call.

Irina Yelavić

Younger teacher that know the gossip, plays matchmaker, knows the lingo and how to sound like a native speaker in a new language. A bit of a diva and trashy y2k lover. Grew up oversexualised so doesn't understand why that's wrong until she realises that what she went through wasn't normal and she wouldn't want her students to experience that. She then starts a journey of healing her past trauma and gets a happy ending with Karasuma (and their adopted child, Karma).

Class parents/ leaders:

Megu Kataoka

Class rep #1. Ordered, likes rules and organised. Has a lot on her plate. Her grades dropped when she had too much on her plate so grades weren't her top priority. She learns to balance her work load and look after herself.

Yuuma Isogai

Class rep #2. Friendly, approachable, kind and calm. Very warm and although he always seems to be under pressure/stressed, he is a strong, thoughtful leader that is very condiserate and humble. Can be passive aggressive and 'fake.'

Sumire Hara

Class mom with a big purse instead of a schoolbag. Has a comical amount of supplies in there and a medkit. Does many scoldings and even Karma will listen to them. Comfort eats and bakes so will often randomly come to school with cookies made at 3:00am.

Toka Yada

Pretty, entitled girl who learnt how to get away with things. Learns to take responsibility for her actions via Megu and realises she doesn't actually like men, just what they can do for her (lets go lesbians). Fell to E-Class due to failing to manipulate boys to do her work. Learns that manipulation is bad and to be herself/childish. Looks up to Miss Bitch.

Yukiko Kanzaki

Gamer girl that seems more refined than she is. Likes RPGs to cutomise avatars and likes to be the 'leader' in groups/be in control because she feels like she isn't in control of her own life. Can be really really passive aggressive but after learning how to accept her flaws, she becomes more chill. Likes Sugino and his devotion to her.

Asano Gakushu

(That's my Ao3 which has all of my Karma x reader fics). Also TW! I have photos of my drawings in here and my phone quality is soooooo bad.

Don't get me wrong, I've been obsessing over assassination classroom since September 2020 (4 years). But like... the writing is so bad! Like Yusei Matsui, you had some very good ideas and concepts, but you were so bad at communicating them. It has taken over 3 years of analysis to understand even basic ideas

Like your main character, Shiota Nagisa is kinda badly written. His talent isn't bloodlust, it's deception. He appears weak and fragile but is actually a violent killer. He's observant but unnoticeable, so he fades into the background. His character arc is supposed to be finding himself, his way, and his self confidence.

Oh and there are so many 'jokes' made that aren't funny or things that are overlooked like I don't think there is a single good parent in that show except Karasuma. I mean Miss Bitch kissing the students isn't okay, the feminising Nagisa jokes aren't funny and honestly, I don't even like Korosensei anymore. Also Terasaka told Nagisa to kill himself and we never came back to it (or the actual suicide itself).

I mean sure, Korosensei does a lot for those kids, but he just comes off as more of a 'fun' teacher that plays games in class and is always there to talk to but he just seems unprofessional. I mean he's a goddamn mass murderer for god's sake. His backstory took ages for me to understand. Like wah wah, he has to die, cool story bro. I get a backstory every anime (or episode if your demon slayer) so I have no sympathy. But I guess I am a 'greater good' lover so whatever.

Also don't even think to bring up Karma. I mean my username is Karmas-wife, so I am not just his defender, I'm his lawyer. The civil war arc is so out of character for him and so is him teasing Nagisa about being girly after finding about his mum. Sure he might seem like an asshole, but that's the mask, that's what he wants you to think. But he's kind and protective, he's not egotistical. He defends his classmates and friends time and time again. I want to see so much more of him. His anger, fighting prowess, leadership, vulnerability and healing.

Also, the deuteragonist should be Sugino, not Karma. Sugino is Nagisa's best friend, he's literally attached to Nagisa's side, and if I were to ask Nagisa who his best friend was, he would say Sugino. I kinda don't like him because he wouldn't like Karma but I understand that's a bias.

So all of this has made me want need to rewrite assassination classroom. I mean there's a whole lot of angst in the themes that just doesn't translate. Honestly, the show probably would be more memorable and of better quality if it was 3 seasons.

So here are some of my redesigns of characters

Protagonist: Shiota Nagisa

He starts off seemingly timid, quite and oblivious. To try and make up for his insecurity of being useless, Nagisa takes notes of Korosenei's weaknesses, attempts that work, strengths of his classmates and possible future attempts (in a bigger book). He's surprisingly calm under pressure, like when executing assassination attempts. Scarily so. This initially doesn't seem very scary until it combines with his hidden bloodlust. He enjoys the dominance that killing someone provides. Little bit by bit, the little moments of scariness begin to bleed through. Until Kayano shows Nagisa how to conceal himself better, making himself scarier. He wishes for the confidence that Sugino has. Used to be friends with Karma, but now Nagisa really only asks Karma for help because he's kind afraid of Karma. He originally thinks he should be an assassin because it's 'the only thing he's good at' until he starts teaching. The he realises he likes helping people grow more. Also, his talent is deception/ disguising himself, not bloodlust.

Deuteragonist/ Best Friend: Tomohito Sugino

The common sense/ brain cell holder (the only normal person in 3-E). Dad friend who feels very concerned for Nagisa and (rightfully) weary of Karma. Doesn't really see a lot that goes on but is very honest and down to earth (good contrast for airheaded Nagisa). Although he isn't very muscly, he is strong and courageous, like a classic hero. Can be quite simple. Has a crush on Kazaki, likes basketball/ sports and the ten million yen bounty.

Main love interest/ main girl: Kaede Kayano Akari Yukimura

After losing her sister, she infiltrates the E-Calss under a fake name. She eggerates her love of pudding and pretends to be a bubbly airhead. She befriends Nagisa to hide herself then helps him find himself to do this. Later, she reveals herself and after her unsuccessful assassination attempt, she reintroduces herself. The classmates get to know the real her: more mature, determined, fierce, serious but still social and more aware of people than they though. She gains a crush on Nagisa for his steadiness and his emotional intelligence (and kissing ability).

Classmate/ Ex-Friend: Karma Akabane

Used to be friends with Nagisa but got weary of his dark side. An aggressive/ intimidating fighter with a bad reputation of getting into fights (with people that deserved it) like his fight (with a bully) that put him in the E-Class. Doesn't often interact with his classmates as he scares them. He doesn't see any reason to care about grades, them, or himself). Has issues with authority (after betrayal from teacher and being abandoned by parents). Learns to care and put effort into things after being adopted cared for by Karasuma. This makes him go from a bossy shadow to a decisive leader and gives him awareness of others.

Secondary Love interest: Rio Nakamura

Popular jokester who knows (and tells) all the gossip. Similar to Miss Bitch: confident, snarky, headstrong and attention-seeking. Likes Nagisa because he doesn't stand up to her so is 'easy to control.' She loses interest when he does eventually stand up to her. Smarter than she lets on and doesn't want to tell the class to keep her popularity. When she shows how smart she actually is, she loses friends and forces them to come back.

Classmate /Class Clown: Maehara Hiroto

Childish class clown that lives off the words 'no homo' and laughs at fart jokes. Isogai's best friend. He always has a girlfriend and in the very short time in between them he's super depressed because he's scared of being alone. Laughs to hide the pain. Charismatic, attractive and surprisingly loyal. Notices the little things. Romantic and funny so the girls are all over him but he's just a teeny bit afraid of commitment.

Classmate: Manami Okuda

Chemistry girly. Likes easy observations, formulae, and studies of things/ chemicals/ matter. Words/ people are too complicated and she's very unaware of double/ hidden meanings of things due to being very solitary. After being taken advantage of by friends, she gives up on trying. Then she meets Kayano and Kanzaki who work around it. Then Karma and Korosensei teach her how to understand people and why it's important, making her better at communication. Very blunt and straightforward. Horrible liar/ actress.

Classmate/ Bully: Ryoma Terasaka

Bully that uses his strength as power over others/ gets others to do his dirty work. After it doesn't work and he drops to the E-Class, then is put down by his friends for it and sees the effect on Nagisa and the class, he grows up and starts to take responsibility for his actions. Then, he starts listening to others and following their lead. The class might joke about him being a dumbass (which he is) but he does a lot of growing and learns to genuinely care for others, rather than hurt them. Also has common sense but no other smarts.
