I had to go and do some research on the character she was holding...

http://japanese.about.com/blkod1003.htm

Why did they choose this for her name? Is there some sort of subtext around this word/character/name?

At the start of Chapter 20, didn't the UN mention that two AIs were being prepared but only one of them (i.e. Ritsu) was ready to be deployed? How are they going to top Ritsu?

The actual line is "two special assassins" who surpass normal human ability. Autonomous Thinking Fixed Artillery is an AI, but the other one isn't necessarily an AI. That said, we've actually seen an outline of him(?):



Ritsu's on the right there, so that guy on the left has to be the other one. I don't expect Matsui to pull the same gag twice, so he's not going to be an AI. Could be an android though.

That be ritsu, fella.

The other "special assassin" is just going to be some guy who lied on his contract killer application because the economy is tough and when they called him in to interview he just had to wing it and it worked out alright but now he's like poo poo dude all I ever worked was mcdonalds

And he wasn't ready to be deployed because he was feigning illness but now he's finally run of excuses / doctors willing to certify him as being medically unfit for duty.

Her full name in Japanese is apparently "Jiritsu Shikou Kotei Houdai".

I don't think Koro-sensei is going to hurt anybody himself, he's just going to give a few pointers to his dear students. Koro-sensei is truly the best teacher.

I really love how human Koro-sensei feels thanks to all the little weaknesses and touches that are pointed out, like this chapter's love of juicy gossip. He feels more human than many lead characters in more down to earth manga.

indeed, why give a man a fish, when you can TEACH him how to fish?

also, yet another of koro-sensei's weird weaknesses...though I'm not entirely sure how this one would help much in an assassination...

Which one? There were two, and both could be potentially useful, though only as part of a greater whole. You could either have someone distract him with some juicy gossip or get him wet so his head swells making his movement more awkward (possibly) and giving a larger target area.

The second one, and I'm still dubious about it's usefulness, considering he can regenerate, a larger target doesn't mean the bulls-eye is any bigger in relation, if anything it'd be smaller in comparison

"Yeh've forged a magnificent sword."

"This one's only practice. The real sword I intend to forge will be three times longer."

"Can there really be a sword as monstrous as that in this world?"

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
My favorite detail is the bottom panel of the last page. Everyone but Maehara has their expression change to mimic Koro-sensei's, which also simultaneously makes them look really, really evil. It's a nice touch.

You'd think with all the training these assassin boys and girls have had with how to kill their teacher, they'd each be less of a pushover for their more hateful school-mates. Seems the opposite.

I keep waiting for them to show their skills. Nada.

Koro-sensei to the rescue again. I understand he's cool and awesome and all that, but it'd be nice to see the kids do something on their own for once without him spoon feeding them all the way through it.

I don't think Jump would be cool with actual high school students killing other high school students. Also, in not acting violently, they show themselves to be spiritually superior. It's some Karatedo restraint poo poo.
