Time for Offense is the thirty-fourth chapter of Assassination Classroom, held in the fourth collected volume and adapted into the anime's twelfth episode. It brings the player Kiyoshi Terai into the ball-game storyline alongside Class 3-E and their teacher.
Summary
Standing as the thirty-fourth chapter, this installment carries the English title Time for Offense, rendered as Senko no Jikan in Japanese. It first appeared in the fifteenth issue for 2013, released in mid-March, and was later gathered into the fourth bound volume. The archived entry preserves the chapter's publication data and appearance list rather than a written summary of its events.
Key Events
The record singles out Kiyoshi Terai as the featured figure of the chapter, placing him beside players and pupils such as Kazutaka Shindo, Masayoshi Kimura, Nagisa Shiota, and Korosensei. A few classmates, among them Sosuke Sugaya and Kotaro Takebayashi, appear only within flashback panels, and the headmaster's son Gakuho Asano rounds out the lineup. With only the cast documented rather than the plot, the chapter's specific developments are not detailed here.
Notes
The chapter is the longest in this run at twenty pages and links Time to Play Ball before it with Time for a Huddle after it, closing the fourth volume's ball-game stretch. Its content was adapted into the twelfth anime episode, Ball Game Tournament Time. The wiki marks the page as a stub, and its Japanese title again ends on the word for time, framed around taking the offensive.
