Nagisa Shiota

Nagisa shiota is a student in korosensei's class 3-e of kunugigaoka junior high school and the protagonist and main narrator of assassination classroom. He is also the one who ultimately assassinated korosensei. Seven years later, he becomes the adviser of paradise high school class 3-5. Assassination: nagisa's physical abilities are mediocre, and it worthy to note that he is one of the weakest amongst the boys. If a comparison were to be made, nagisa's constitution and strength are more easily comparable to a female of his age. However, nagisa has an extraordinary amount of natural talent as an assassin as shown in his duels against takaoka. This inclination has also been made apparent numerous times during the span of the story.


He is described by korosensei to be a 'pure assassin'. Several other characters such as karma and maehara have noted that he is full of surprises - one can never know when or where nagisa will aim to strike. His talent in the art of assassination has garnered respect from even those who are not his peers, and there are times when others have commented on the potential nagisa possessed that could be fulfilled in the role of a professional hitman. In the end, though, nagisa does not pursue this path and decides to use his abilities to help others in the same way korosensei did. Bloodlust:nagisa possesses a frighteningly massive amount of hidden bloodlust despite his initial character, impression and appearance which can affect his opponents in varying ways; the most significant, powerful reaction involve immobilization and an inability to counterattack or to fight back, and this type of reaction affects even trained, jaded assassins. This is made very clearly evident for the first time during his mock assassination with takaoka, and another early event is the incident when two of nagisa's old classmates threatened him. This unique talent has sparked the interest of all three of class e's main faculty. When nagisa's bloodlust is released or directed at someone, it is metaphorically represented as a large, blood-soaked snake coiled around nagisa's target with its fangs bared and ready to strike at any moment. In later chapters, his bloodlust takes the form of a flaming aura around him in a way that either mimics or reflects that of the god of death. However, if nagisa were to lose control of his bloodlust due to emotional provocation, his inability to rein his bloodlust back under control is indicated in his eyes, which are illustrated as dull. Nagisa can grow reckless or lack foresight during combat while focusing on his target, and opponents with bloodlust that exceeds nagisa's own are not affected in the slightest.


People reading/discernment: nagisa developed the ability to read people's expressions and intentions with ease as a result of his past experience with his mother, hiromi shiota. There are occasions when he can detect if a person is lying or not being entirely truthful (e.G. Terasaka when he is plotting with shiro). After being placed on the receivingend of the god of death's improved clap stunner, this ability somehow later evolves into a sort of advanced ability that allows nagisa to analyze a person's state of mind simply by looking at them. This is illustrated and/or described as "Wavelengths" or "Wavelengths of consciousness" of people that represents their breathing, line of sight, facial expression, body language and more. This ability allows nagisa to find a person's "Gap in consciousness" or, in other words, openings where they let their guard down as well as their "Peak in consciousness", which is the state of mind I which a person is highly susceptible to outside stimuli such as the clap stunner, which he has made effective use of in different ways, from stunning enemies before attacking them to simple, almost trivial things such as being able to remove a size label from clothing without the person wearing it noticing. Marksmanship: in june, nagisa scored 84/200 in marksmanship, making him the fifth best among the boys and seventh overall amongst his class. Kiss of death: nagisa has shown some level of skill when using irina's "Kiss of death" technique, able to acquire 15 "Hits" off of kaede. Supposedly, unlike the others in his class, nagisa is quite excellent with a lot of potential for improvement in this particular skill. Irina has remarked that nagisa's training in indiscriminate french kisses have bestowed on him remarkable enough skill to exceed his classmates by a large margin. Such margins are represented numerically, as nagisa is supposedly capable of registering a total of 40 "Hits" if he were to place more effort into his kiss.
