Top 10 Best Assassination Classroom Ships

Assassination Classroom is one of my favorite anime series, and shipping is something I can't get enough of. So why not bring the two together? This list is all about the best pairings in the series, from fan-favorite duos to underrated gems. Whether you love the idea of childhood friends becoming something more, rivals with electric chemistry, or unexpected pairings that just work, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Vote for your favorite ships, kiddos, and let's see which one comes out on top!
The Top Ten
Karma Akabane x Nagisa Shiota

This couple, in my opinion, is meant to be! It's very wholesome to the point I might actually die. Karma is a literal psycho, and Nagisa is just the same. He just doesn't show it as much. Plus, Nagisa is the only one who made Karma feel... well, I forgot, but it was when they were just 1-2 years old, where Nagisa pokes Karma in the back, making him feel... uh... I don't know? My point is, Nagisa has been able to do so much to Karma that other people can't. They always stick with each other too. I can't get over the fact that they are legitimately meant to be, even though the plan of making them canon was canceled. They still made it very obvious.

Ryunosuke Chiba x Rinka Hayami

They not only work well together, but they are the only ones who really understand each other. They are so different and similar at the same time and work off each other like a second blade, helping each other through their weaknesses. They are definitely my favorite ship.

I so ship them. They're the two best snipers in the classroom. Actually, this was the first ship I made in this anime.

Two assassins and my favorite ship! I guess nobody has a problem with this one.

Nagisa Shiota x Kaede Kayano

This is just... it's my OTP, man, and honestly, how could I not? They're similar enough to be compatible (unlike Nagisa and Karma), but different enough to complement each other well. What's more, Kaede obviously still likes him after seven years, and if that's not a sign of the real deal, I don't know what is. Also, Nagisa is dense enough that he could have feelings for Kaede and not even realize it on his own, which is an idea I've started to enjoy playing around with.

I love Nagisa (like, he's my anime crush). But if I were to ship him with someone, it would definitely be Kaede. They look so alike! They're both short, have the same hairstyle, and similar big eyes. They're perfect for each other! Also, it's sad that Nagisa had to cut his hair. I really liked it long. On the contrary, Kaede grew her hair. Oh well...

Tadaomi Karasuma x Irina Jelavich

It's canon. They were officially announced married at the end of the series, so there is no other reason why someone who has watched the anime wouldn't ship this.

I love this couple. They have so much in common, and I feel like Mr. Karasuma opens his heart to Irina. It's just so cute!

They are so adorable! They both care for the kids like they're their own. It's adorable, and that's the first person Irina has actually loved.

Karma Akabane x Manami Okuda

Coming here years after watching this show, I still think this is the best ship ever - or at least my personal favorite.

Every detail makes this couple amazing, small but delicate. It shows a deep relationship where both can set aside their masks and talk to each other honestly and genuinely about "literally everything." They are each other's safe place, a zone with no fear or guard. It's somewhere that feels like "home."

I wish there were more scenes of them because I love their soft interactions.

I love their mutual interaction. I love how soft, gentle, and genuine Karma acts towards Manami. I love the way they look at each other, care for each other, and believe in each other's abilities and hard work. They always make me feel at ease. I love them.

Koro-sensei x Aguri Yukimura

THIS IS TRUE LOVE. When Koro-sensei was at the lab, they communicated a lot. And when Aguri died, Koro-sensei was in true pain.

I'm not really sure why, but they just work together.

Who wouldn't cry about their backstory? Seriously, it's the saddest one in the whole series.

Tomohito Sugino x Yukiko Kanzaki

This one is kind of obvious. As Sugino introduced/met Kanzaki, he seemed to like her a lot. In the last episode, Ren was flirting with Kanzaki, and Sugino tried to get Ren away.

I totally ship them both. Sugino is like, "OMG, that's Kanzaki! Nagisa, what am I supposed to do?"

He was so interested in her at the beginning of the story.

Karma Akabane x Rio Nakamura

They both tease Nagisa a lot. Don't forget, when Nagisa kissed Kaede/Kayano, both Karma and Rio had their phones out to record. They also teased him after that. It was hilarious! This is my second favorite ship, by the way. My favorite is Nagisa x Kaede/Kayano.

In my opinion, Karma Akabane x Rio Nakamura is better than Karma x Okuda. Rio makes Karma feel something that Okuda doesn't. They always tease Nagisa so much: the random dress, the maid outfit, the girls' school uniform, and even about his hair and face.

If someone said they want a straight ship instead of a gay ship for Karma, I would rather ship Karma with Rio instead of Okuda. It just doesn't feel right to me if I ship Karma and Okuda...

Yumma Isogi x Maehara Hiroto

They have so many moments together. The anime showed them together in almost every frame when they have screen time. The childhood friend and best friend trope helps as well. Top-tier ship.

They sang the opening together. That should say a lot.

They're really good friends! Who can't resist?

Karma Akabane x Gakushu Asano

Look, I can't resist a good enemies-to-lovers trope anywhere, and they're rivals! They're both charismatic and competitive. I think Karma would help Gakushu take things easier (not completely, because we all know that Mr. Perfect isn't stepping down anytime soon), and I'm convinced 90% that Karma has a messed-up home life.

They are both smart and probably equals. I can't resist the enemies-to-lovers trope, and it's probably why most of my ships are enemies to lovers.

The Newcomers

? Nagisa Shiota x Tomohito Sugino

I'm sorry, but I ship this more than Karmagisa. I mean, they are literally best friends, and they're so wholesome and pure together. They're my BROtp.

? Rio Nakamura x Touka Yada
The Contenders
Yuma Isogai x Megu Kataoka

Valentine's Day scene. The two class presidents (or something) together. Makes sense.

They are really cute. I honestly wish they would have gotten together.

We always ship class principals in our class! So, I ship Meg and Isogai too. Also, Meg gave chocolate to Isogai, and they went to the same high school too. What a love!

Itona Horibe x Ritsu

The two transfer students! Both really good at mechanics.

This would be cool if she wasn't an AI.

It would work out if she was human.

Ryoma Terasaka x Kirara Hazama

In one of the class photos, they were a couple and looked so cute! Also, who doesn't ship one girl in the team and the team leader?

Hiroto Maehara x Rio Nakamura

Random ship, but kinda cute together.

Itona Horibe x Ryoma Terasaka

It's a really cute ship, and I could very much see this happening.

I can see this happening. They are so cute, literally!

Manami Okuda x Koutaro Takebayashi

They both have a love for science. Come on.

Gakushu Asano x Rio Nakamura

They seem pretty cool together. Their English voice actors are actually married.

These two don't show any feelings for each other in the series, but they are both smart and cute. I wouldn't say it's a bad ship, even though I prefer Karma and Rio.

Karma Akabane x OC

This is like the time I said to my classmate, "First, watch anime. Second, find an anime crush. Third, draw yourself as anime. And last and totally not least, ship yourself with that anime crush of yours." This really happened.

Manami Okuda x Kaede Kayano

Yep. My guilty ship for Karmagisa. You've got to admit they are cute together though.

Seeing as Karma and Nagisa are already taken.

Their partners are gay, so they decided to date each other. Like, why not?

Karma Akabane x Itona Horibe

Seriously, that manga scene left a fujoshi in infinite fantasy.

Justice x Hinano Kurahashi

Because they were always seen together, and both are beautiful.

Koro-sensei x Tadaomi Karasuma

Seriously, am I the only one who ships it?

Nagisa Shiota x Rio Nakamura

When together, they can cause world chaos. I just love how they're both evil and have the same instinct when something funny happens: take a picture for blackmail later.

Koro-sensei x Irina Jelavich
Nagisa Shiota x Sakura Kiyashiki
