Summary
After a lighthearted exchange over whether Korosensei enlarged Kayano's chest during her revival, the class turns to find their exhausted teacher sinking to the ground. He tells them that every good stretch of time must end and that the moment to kill him has arrived. At the same instant, the students notice the laser is on the verge of firing.
Key Events
Isogai calls for a show of hands from anyone unwilling to kill Korosensei, and every hand goes up. He then asks who is prepared to go through with it; after a quiet look back on their days together, the students slowly raise their hands and move to pin down each of Korosensei's tentacles. When Isogai asks who will pierce his heart, Nagisa steps forward to volunteer.
