#guidebook

During the Field Trip arc, Korosensei wrote 26 copies of a guidebook, one for each student, spanning 1344 pages. When Roll Book Time was published, Matsui Yuusei also wrote an extract of this Guidebook as a bonus gift of sorts.

(In addition, if he included the whole guidebook, the whole package will become very, very expensive)

This post will outline the basic gist of each page so that you can have a general idea of what they’re about, as well as the overall tone of the book.

But if you want to ask about certain bits of the pages, you are free to do so via this

Kyoto Field Trip Guidebook ~ Table of Contents (2) (Pg 4 – 5)

The page on the right shows a directory for:

• Tokyo dialect to Kyoto dialect
• What to say when you greet someone
• What to say when you look at (sample?) food
• Phrases to use when you’re touring, shopping and visiting a Maid Café

The page on the left shows a directory of temples and shrines in Kyoto

Various things to watch out for during the Field Trip (Pg 38)

#41 – Yatsuhashi are available to sample, but be careful not to eat too much

#42 - There are lots of temples, but there’s a limit to how many you can visit in a day. If you focus on just one area, you can visit 4-6 places, if you go to separate areas you can only visit 2-3 places. (Octopus: Nuruhuhuhu, Sensei can visit 1000 places)

#43 – At large intersections there will be lots of buses with the same route number. If you are unsure, please ask someone at the bus station

#44 – When asking locals for directions they will say things like “go up” (agaru) and “go down” (sagaru). “Go up” means “head North” and “go down” means “head South”

#45 – When all is said and done, Free Time is meant to be time spent touring within Kyoto. Although that theme park in Osaka is only 50 minutes away, please don’t dilly-dally for too long. (Octopus: It is Free Time within Kyoto)

Map 1 – the city of Kyoto, public transport routes included (Pg 78 – 79)

The bottom left even has a table for “Sensei’s travel times from Kyoto Station” (to different locations, at Mach 20, furthest location requires 2.5 seconds)

• Bottom-left octopus: Sensei only needs about 20 seconds to circle all the locations. If anything happens I will come straight away, so please call me

Map 2 – Famous locales of assassination within Kyoto City (Pg 112 – 113)

Kyoto is a place famous for its assassinations. Check out the big name assassinations, then let’s make use of those in your assassination plans.

• Bottom-right octopus: Bakumatsu-era Kyoto featured a large variety of assassination methods
• Bottom-left octopus: The history of Kyoto makes a great reference book

Opportune Assassination Places in Kyoto City (1) (Pg 264, 287)

Consider the characteristics of each location, so that you can decide on how to have fun and how to kill.

• These are all the spots that Class E visited obviously (makes you wonder if the Guidebook is what they decided the spots with)
• When your classmate gets abducted –> 1243

Let’s enjoy Kyoto ~ Personal Experience ~ (Pg 454, 461)

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and a personal experience is better still. You can only personally experience something at the place itself, so take the chance to learn more about the culture.

• Experiences listed include cosplays, candy-making, tea ceremonies, Taiko drumming and Kabuki transformation, among others
• If you played too much and your wallet only has 2000 Yen left –> 1242

An Introduction to Ryokan (Japanese Inn) Recreation (Pg 624, 629)

Use of Ryokan Facilities – explains:

• The retro game arcade (most likely the one Kanzaki played),
• Table tennis (Korosensei teases that he can play double matches against himself at Mach speed), and
• The bathhouse (things you’re not allowed to do include swimming, checking/comparing physiques and peeping, which goes for the girls too)

Things you can do in the rooms (3)

• Pillow fights (For complete tactics on pillow fights and examples of field correspondence –> 693)
• Sharing Love Stories - A Sensei Recommendation! (Ironic considering he didn’t share his)

Recommended Spots during Free Time (Pg 936, 959)

Korosensei’s recommendations for if you want to:

• Sightsee
• Get acquainted with Kyoto
• Look at where couples hang out
• Try your hands at matchmaking (Enmusubi), etc.

Recommended Kyoto Souvenirs (Pg 1206, 1213)

Recommendations include food and other goods

• Bottom-right octopus: Buy something after you have thought about what happens when you return home! (ie think before you buy)
• Bottom-left octopus: Don’t forget about souvenirs for Sensei!

And that’s all the pages. Man, Eyeball-sensei is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to the most trivial and minute details, but in a good way
