Korosensei made our list recently among The Top Ten Anime of All Time.
Actually, it was Assassination Classroom that made the list, but Korosensei is obviously a standout character to feature from the show and highlight an overpowered workout for.
Korosensei may not be a typical character to be featured in our Anime Workouts Database, but he deserves his slot as much as the rest of our super powerful characters and heroes.
Our anime characters (and therefore database) have been getting a ton of love lately being that our SHJ Army has been enjoying them so much, but anime is actually trending all over the world!
Yeah, I said it….Netflix has seen a surge of people and households that watched multiple anime shows during the pandemic, and it’s not just because everyone was doing more binging than normal…
Korosensei Stats:
Real Name: Korosensei
Height: 9’8
Weight: N/A
Anime: Assassination Classroom
Powers: Yes
Korosensei is a bit of an anomaly among our characters.
Korosensei is 9’8 and his weight is unknown…
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Korosensei Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Korosensei Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
Korosensei is such a cool character, and we’re going to start by talking a bit about his bio, pulling straight from his Wiki Fandom.
Here’s what they have to tell us about The Reaper:
Korosensei was the homeroom teacher of Class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and the secondary protagonist and antihero of Assassination Classroom. He claimed to be responsible for creating the permanent crescent moon, and added that he planned to destroy the earth after teaching Class 3-E for a year.
Prior to being a teacher, he was the assassin known as “The Reaper“.
Korosensei, AKA The Reaper is not only an anomaly when it comes to his height and weight, he’s also a much different character in general.
For example, here’s what is listed under his “Powers” as the first to start a long list:
Antimatter physiology: Due to the human experiments of producing antimatter in a living body by Shiro, Korosensei’s entire appearance is that of an octopus-like creature with multiple tendrils that function as his tentacles. Anything aside from Anti-Sensei Weapons will be ineffective in harming him. It is initially believed that he would self-destruct by the time of Class E’s graduation; however, it has since been proven that the chances are minuscule at best.
This brings about more powers that include:
- Protective coloring
- Mucus.
- Poison Immunity
- Liquefaction
- Absolute Defense
- Energy laser
- Molting
- Regeneration
- Superhuman senses
- Superhuman digestion
All of which are essentially meaningless to the powers we’ll be able to train to attempt to replicate BUT should be factored in when considering Korosensei’s overall power level.
The powers that are more important start here:
Superhuman speed: Korosensei can travel up to the speed of Mach 20. His normally soft and jelly-like head hardens under immense pressure as a process known as the dilatancy phenomenon, which presumably lowers his wind resistance, allowing him to reach inhuman speeds. The only known objects to surpass this are the reusable space shuttle and the transformed Reaper.
- Superhuman reflexes: Korosensei can react and dodge multiple fires of Anti-Sensei bullets and move away from any harm. His reflexes also allow him to react fast enough to catch or deflect any flying projectile in mid-air using what he has on hand.
- Speed replication: Korosensei’s amazing speed allows him to seemingly copy himself dozens of times using after-imagery. Not only can each individual after-image maintain a task for extended periods of time, but Korosensei’s “speed copies” are all capable of taking on widely-different tasks both individually and simultaneously without confusing themselves. This technique was primarily used by Korosensei to teach all of Class 3-E one-on-one when a difficult test approached, allowing Korosensei to work with each student separately to work on their problem subjects.
And as for the abilities section, they also list:
- Assassin: As the original Reaper, Korosensei was considered the world’s best assassin prior to being betrayed by his disciple. As a result, Korosensei can combat nearly every assassination attempt utilized by both the Class E students and professional assassins, showing to be extremely observant and stealthy at planning and execution.
This isn’t the first assassin we’re looking to train like at Superhero Jacked….
We’ve also seen Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed, an Assassin’s Creed Workout, Agent 47, Hazel and Cha-Cha (from Umbrella Academy), Hit’s Workout (from Dragon Ball Super) and more!
Although I do think Korosensei would give them all a run for their money….potentially all at the same time….
