Nagisa vs Takaoka 1st fight | Assassination Classroom 

I think this is the moment we were all like “Oh the title is for real”

I like nagisa's resolve "I don't need to fight him", "I just need to kill him" lol

Nagisa : "I don't need to fight him, I just need to kill him" me : *modern problems require modern solutions*

Nagisa is terrifying when he's on assassination mode but their principal is SO MUCH MORE TERRIFYING!!

Just imagine if karma didn't skip

The fact that Nagisa comforts himself by saying that he just needs to kill him!!🙃

Takaoka: "He's thinking: Oh no, it's a real knife. If I stab someone, they die" Nagisa: "Oh wait, I don't have to fight him... I just have to kill him"

I like when Karasuma look at all the students, and the only one who doesn't show fear is Nagisa.

Nagisa:"I don't need to fight him, I just need to kill him." Everybody: *what*

Heck I felt the chills again and again the moment nagisa goes badass even tho I watched this anime countless times

I love the implications of "Killing Intent", between Nagisa and the Principal. Nagisa is symbolized by a snake, something quick, agile, and tends to move his knife to the most vital spots. The Principal's centipedes represent a similar thing to killer intent, used as force of subjugation by fear. Fun fact, there are those that believe individuals that enjoy scaring others are reincarnated as centipedes.

i love all of nagisa’s fight scenes. he’s definitely no fighter, but an assassin, looking for that one weak spot. it’s one of the reasons why karma and nagisa’s fight is my favorite. the contrast between the two styles...muah. chef’s kiss. both geniuses, both approaching a kill in a different way.

The moment our boi descended down the path of pure bad ass. And the birth of the new “god of death”

Karasuma: ...for you it’s an assassination Nagisa: *and I took that literally*

Nagisa: "I don't have to fight him." Mr. Karasuma: "Yes! exactly!" Nagisa: "I just have to kill him" Mr. Karasuma: *wait wha-*

To the people confused why he said “I don’t need to fight him, just kill him”, it means several things. Killing people is easier in a way, it’s like he doesn’t need to hold back and can use any tactic necessary. He is also using a real knife this time, reminding himself that the handling is slightly different than what he has been training for. After all, I doubt at that point he believed that he would be the one to kill him (he probably thought someone like karma or maybe other characters would be able to). Considering the fact he takes into account all skills and abilities of everyone, it would be strange for him not to notice he doesn’t have a knack for fighting but rather assassination. Therefore, yes, this is his way of comforting himself.

Nagisa have 3 skills: - Fighting skills - Knife Skills - *T R A P S K I L L S*

Alternate Title: Trap Shota vs Ugly Bastard

"show me a family that doesn't do as the dad says" My family, we do as my mom says

I love how someone like Koro Sensei, when non-transformed was the most dangerous assassin in the world, could immediately point out Nagisa’s innate ability to kill

When you realize the principal is bad guy, but not BAD GUY

Karasuma and Nagisa both have good instincts for people. Karasuma figured that if anyone had the aptitude to take out Takaoka, it’d be the one who had put even an inch of fear into his mind while training them. In return, Nagisa, who felt there were few who would look at him in a “respectful” way, immediately trusted Karasuma because he knew that behind those eyes were a calm judgement. I doubt even Karma could have taken on Takaoka.

Nagisa's bloodlust is so scary that the camera man had to cut out some parts to prevent people from getting PTSD flashbacks

I really love this episode because not only was the fight badass, it also subverted our expectations. Nagisa's the main character but after the Pilot he hasn't done anything for a while, he's kind of just there to add dialogue every now and then. But then here he just drops in like a boss.

Love the point of this scene. They’re not being trained to “fight.” A fight would give the target a chance. Assassins stack the deck. They don’t give a target any chance of escape. A perfect assassin strikes once and the job is done. No ifs, ands, or buts, and usually no trail to follow afterwards. That’s what Nagisa realized, and that’s why he’s so good at it. All that matters is being the first to strike, and making sure there is no reply from the target after that first hit. That invalidates all other skills or talents involved automatically.

If I didn't watch assassination classroom before, and someone showed me the dialogue where karasuma handed the knife to nagisa, no way on earth would I believe nagisa was a boy

Bruh imagine how Karma would have layed this man out with low difficulty.

he ain't sexist, he hates everyone equally like a certain blonde chef

I Typed this when im a bit out of myself, and its also the reason why there's a war-like in the reply section so I'll just renew the message which is this to stop it Sorry.

The saying: “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”, is like it is made just for Nagisa

You've been hit by-- you've been struck by-- a smol blueberry

Even the principal thought this was brutal that’s when u know u did bad

0:47 I just can't stop looking at that. The look on his face and that swinging hand. There's something mesmerizing about that look

Nagisa: almost kill one of his teacher Killua: let me introduce myself

"I like this man's eyes. None of my family members would look me in the eye like this" That's deep-

I love the fact Koro Senesei already knew at this point that Nagaisa had the ability to grow into an assassin if he wanted to

Nagisa is so fucking scary dude. "I don't have to fight him, I just have to kill him" holy shit, is this seriously the same kid that people thought was a chick?

Takaoka: Show me a family that doesn’t do what the dad says. Me: I would like to introduce you to Nagisa Shiota’s parents-

I like how some random school principal is more threatening than a guy who’s trained in the military for years

I NEED AN ANIME WHERE NAGISA IS WORKING AS A TEACHER IN THE MORNING AND ASSASSIN IN THE EVENING. PLEASE

Demn this scene gave me chills nagisa a snake🥶😳🤯

I remember reading this in a manga that if you don't have any experience with a knife, you're better off not using it takes up one of your hands and the fact most people can't slash people without any hesitation. There is also the risk of aggravating your opponent who may easily steal your weapon and use it against you, and since you would have used it first, they are less likely to feel guilty using it

Karasuma: in the end of the whole thing: I create a monster

After this, and the island, Takaoka learned his lesson and instead became the symbol of peace

4:01 he sounds so innocent

4:18 when the platoon gets excited over how the private kicks the drill instructor's ass, but the general strolls in to calmly remind everyone who the final boss really is

Karma: the first classmate notice nagisa's bloodlust (hence he's semi scared of him) Korosensei: the first "assassin" notice nagisa's potentials (hence he told nagisa to rethink his future career) Takaoka: the first "teacher" notice nagisa's devilness (hence he tried to kill him twice, and failed twice) Karasuma: the first sub-teacher recognize nagisa's power (Hence he in-trust nagisa to battle takaoka)

I love the smug grin Koro sensei gives throughout this scene it is holy shit levels of chilling and awesome knowing he expects the outcome before it happens and before everyone else finds out which goes to show how confident he is in himself and the others in their teaching skills which makes it all the better knowing that nagisa won by the skills he learned alongside his natural talent to remain calm in serious situations

In the manga Nagisa freaks out about idea of stabbing another human after he defeats Takaoka. He then asks Kurasama if he actually wants him to cut Takaoka.

Nagisa: I don't have to fight him... Karasuma: Mhm! That's it! Nagisa: I just need to kill him. Karasuma: *What*

I wish I could have as much confidence in myself as this guy does for throwing down with 15 year olds who aren't allowed to fight back.

Takaoka: *This is what happens to kids who don’t rely on their dad alone!* Me: *Karasuma is there dad!*

This is honestly one of my favorite anime moments. I’ve rewatched this scene so many times.

Everyone else has kinda said this already, but a fight is a long drawn out thing that usually requires some kind of physical domination. The really hard bit (that Naigsa glosses over) is how to turn a difficult, drawn out combat into an assassination when your opponent sees you coming and is combat-ready. But if you can work out how to do that, the assassination part is relatively easy.

Reverse: Show me a family with that kind of dad

This is one of the most brilliant moments I’ve seen. Small, epic moments of triumph and slice of life that shows them getting used to this and building their abilities. Then, all that buildup culminates into this moment where Nagisa absolutely dominates him. Absolutely amazing.

I watched it in dub so he kept calling himself daddy people don’t talk about that enough

everyone is the comments was so shocked when nagisa said "I don't need to fight him, I just need to kill him." but when i heard that i was just like "yeah makes sense. how smart!"

2:14 "Where the heck is Karma when you need him?"

Let's face the facts, we all thought nagisa was cute until we found out he was packing more than a knife.

Everyone: "It's okay, you don't have to fight him!" Nagisa: "Yeah.. You're right! I just have to kill him!" Everyone: "Exact- *wait what"*

"I don't have to fight him, I just have to kill him" resumes the entirety of nature. Any true predator lives by those words -- there is no reason to fight if you don't have to. Winning without fighting is the ideal.

Takaoka: I’ve been in an army Class 3-E: We have a Nagisa

Nagisa: *literally terrifying Karasuma and Takaoka* Also Nagisa: "Oops, was I not supposed to use the back of the knife?"

4:35 This man literally came out of nowhere and dealt the killing blow

2:12 I love how everyone is scared or nervous in this scene, and nagisa is just dead inside

The principal might be a jerk but he’s certainly intelligent, and this scene alone gives him some redemption points.

when the MC looks innocent but actually uses it to their advantage 👏👏👏

That "I just have to kill him" is what gives you goosebumps like you're his target. It's so casual.

I'm watching this show for the first time right now and I got to say, I've been enjoying myself up to this point, but this scene made me realize like, "Oh this show actually has style."

3:27 Omg this scene is scary as hell save me

Takaoka: "He will realize stabbing a person will kill them, and won't use it. I can take him if we fight bare handed" Meanwhile Nagisa : "Oh right, he gave me the knife himself. I don't have to fight him. I'll just kill him."

4:26 is when Gakuho decided to switch himself to Sosuke Aizen.

Damn, I forgot how good this show was. I need to go back and watch it again

This guy looks like a girl , kills like a silent anaconda , best assassin, the main protagonist and narrator of Assassination Classroom this guy is dangerous 🥶🥶

Love how the first time Nagisa first showed his talent, Karasuma freaked out.

"I don't need to fight anyone. I just need to kill them." -Agent 47, probably.

I would have fired him too imagine acting like a big shot to get downed by a trap.

What’s sad is that he said “no one in my family in the eyes like that” and that meant they didn’t trust him

The moment he slapped Kanzaki, I punched my wall so hard

4:42 Legend says that that piece of paper never hit the log.

この時の浅野理事長の登場カッコ良すぎた！

years have passed but i still come back for this clip. this scene is really hype for real

Takaoka: *thinking Nagisa is getting squeamish from holding a real knife* Nagisa: "i just have to kill him" XD

"* teleports behind you *" "nothing personal kid"

Did you cried hearing assassination classroom ended? No matter weather koro sensei die at the end or not. But seeing them not together was very emotional. Afterall The were a Family

Pffft typical bully, I loathe that kind of people..

2:31 his silver soul shines through

0:44 How my little brother describes me slightly touching him

This moment is the definition of “the most innocent ones always have the most sinister of desires”

自衛隊の教官クラスを一瞬で恐怖に陥れる理事長やばくね？

I love the fact that how koro sensei has absolute confidence on Nagisa that he'll be successful in the assassination.... Who better than the Reaper to know how good an assassin is!!!

Takaoka: Karasuma, you have bad eyes for choosing Nagisa. Nagisa: *clapped takaoka's cheeks* nothing personal kid

It's amazing that this show is 5 years old and still so good

Brutal. I haven't seen this one yet. I guess I'm going to watch it next :)😀👍

this is the moment the show became real for me. I had been contemplating dropping it for so long but....this right here man.

0:30 well he most definitely CAN'T breathe

The virgin Takaoka vs the chad Nagisa and principle Asano.

After all these years and this clip alone. I might give it a watch.

I loved the second assasination he did on him and the fact he became a teacher even more!
