Summary
In this brief extra, Korosensei performs a homemade drawing song that sketches his smiling face across the surface of the Earth using geography. He begins by dropping a bean over Tokyo, then places a second one in China's Sichuan province. From there the route runs from Dubai to Hawaii at Mach 20, tracing contours before the vapor trail fades, doubling back through the southern hemisphere over the Philippines, returning once more toward Dubai, and finally drawing lines of latitude at twenty-five degree spacing between Dubai and Hawaii. Once the picture is complete, he invites class 3-E to carry it out for real, and the students dismiss the ridiculous expectation.
Key Events
Korosensei uses the song as a teaching device, turning a lesson on how to draw his face into a tour of global landmarks from Tokyo to Sichuan, Dubai, Hawaii, and the Philippines. The gag closes with the class flatly refusing to attempt the absurd worldwide sketch he lays out.
