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!

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.
I absolutely love this ship! Makes me wonder why the creators didn't make it obvious, but to fill our fujoshi hearts, they did leave some hints about their ship.
I also love how Karma loves to tease Nagisa about his appearance.
Also, guys! Remember in the Karma vs. Nagisa episode, Karma said that Nagisa was the only person to whom he let his guard down the most. Which also means I sorta kinda had a crush on the boy with the bloodlust. Karma was also the only person who first discovered Nagisa's bloodlust.
This ship makes my heart flutter! I don't care though... I SHIP IT

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
Some people say that Karma's interest in Manami is just a lie. Then, what's the truth? I cannot find another option, another choice, or another girl Karma is interested in. Karma is the kind of person who can easily get bored, so if he is interested in someone, that person must be very special.
If you ask who understands Manami the most, it can be Karma. However, if you ask who understands Karma the most, it must be Manami. No one in Class E, not even Shiota, knows the biggest fear of Karma. Karma, as far as I know, never takes things seriously and just jokes around. However, he easily lets his guard down and talks to her honestly and genuinely about his biggest fear and greatest ambition, which shows how much he trusts her.
For Manami, she is the first and only person in Class E who knows exactly about Karma's hard work and his good morals (loyalty, kindness, determination). This mutual trust, respect, and understanding in their relationship is something I love very much. The feelings they have for each other are something very special. Since the Okinawa scene, it is no longer just a simple friendship anymore, but to say it's love is hard for me. However, I still think there is no one on earth who can fit Karma as well as Manami does, and vice versa. In conclusion, I love this kind of relationship.

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.
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...
Although I ship Karma with Okuda, I don't hate this one... I just really dislike it! If it were canon, I'd have a warmer opinion, but I still ship Karma with Okuda.
-
Yuma Isogai x Hiroto Maehara
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.

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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Masayoshi Kimura 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

Nagisa Shiota x Koro-sensei
