Chapter 27: Overcoming Shortcomings in Time

Standing as the twenty-seventh chapter, this installment goes by the English title Overcoming Shortcomings in Time, rendered as Kokufuku no Jikan in Japanese. It first appeared in the eighth issue for 2013, released in the middle of January, and was later folded into the fourth bound volume. What the record retains is the chapter's publication data and its list of appearances instead of a plotted recap.

The chapter names no single featured figure, yet its appearance order opens on Lovro and Irina Jelavic and moves through Korosensei, the agent Tadaomi Karasuma, and much of Class 3-E, including Karma Akabane and Nagisa Shiota. The artificial intelligence Ritsu turns up only within a flashback panel. With no narrative breakdown preserved, the particular developments of the chapter are not spelled out in this entry.

Running nineteen pages, the chapter bridges Time for the Master before it and Movie Time! after it. It sits inside the fourth volume of the compiled release. No television episode is tied to this installment in the source. Like the rest of the series, its Japanese title finishes on the word for time, this time paired with the idea of overcoming a weakness.
