Malfunction Time is the 123rd chapter of the Assassination Classroom manga, printed in Volume 14. Spanning nineteen pages, this late-run installment fields an unusually broad cast, drawing together nearly the whole of Class 3-E, their teachers, and the elite students of the main Kunugigaoka campus.
Summary
Set down in Japanese as 誤作動の時間 (Go sadō no jikan), the nineteen-page chapter belongs to the volume that closes out the school year. Its roster is exceptionally large, blending the members of Class 3-E and their instructors with the top-ranked students who dominate the school's main building. Korosensei anchors the ensemble alongside Karasuma and Irina Jelavić.
Key Events
Sumire Hara and the artificial intelligence Ritsu lead the order of appearance, followed by a long procession that gathers most of Class 3-E, among them Sōsuke Sugaya, Yukiko Kanzaki, Karma Akabane, Nagisa Shiota, Kaede Kayano, and Manami Okuda. Teachers Tadaomi Karasuma and Irina Jelavić feature, as does Korosensei. Later panels bring in the main-campus figures Teppei Araki, Natsuhiko Koyama, Ren Sakakibara, and Tomoya Seo alongside Gakushū Asano and the principal Gakuhō Asano.
