Why I think Nagikae is canon

DISCLAIMER:

This post contains Spoilers for Assassination Classroom. And finally this MY opinion so if you disagree that's fine in the end opinions are subjective.

If saw/read AC or been in the fandom then you would know that Nagikae (Nagisa x Kayano) is one of the most popular ships and that the canonicity is left up to debate on if it or isn't canon. Today I'm going to talk about why I think Nagikae is canon with evidence and disproving evidence against it so let's begin.

Against it:

First let's start with the easiest one to disprove that being the 'afterthought' line, basically in english translation of the final chapter Kayano said that Nagisa thinks of her as an aftherthought. Now this is actually simp to disprove since that was said in the english version and not in the original japanese version

As you can see Kayano just said that she isn't in Nagisa's field of vision meaning that Nagisa is just focused on being a teacher and not to meantion why would Hara just ask about Nagisa you don't ask about what's going between you and your crush. While I could just stop it right here there's also something I want to meantion, if you look at what afterthought means it says 'something that is thought of or added later' whitch if we go by the linensaid by the english version (whitch isn't canon since the japanese is the original) it's still ambiguous since it doesn't mean that there aren't meating each other. If you want it in more detail here

Now the second thing is this panel

Some people belive that this is Nagisa and Kayano and to that I say... we don't see the faces, given the lack of context and the fact you can see Karma it's possible that two people holding hands aren't Nagisa and Kayano but rather Karma and Okuda and as for my reasoning like I said you can see Karma and also this

So yeah that basically it from what I've seen so now let's get into the main topic.

Why Nagiake is canon

Now first of we know that Nagisa and Kayano are seeing each other as we see in Nagisa's album that Nagisa and Kayano were meeting each other until they were interupted by Nagisa's students

Second is Korotan D whitch is a collection of books that were stated to be canon by Yusei Matsui, in one of the storys Kayano is working as an actress and during one of the scenes Kayano was suppose to kiss but turn back and we see Nagisa being jealouse and he's true feelings towards Kayano if you want to read it you read the rough english translation by @blazardragon and also we see Nagisa and Kayano dancing

And finally there are the ship teases and I meam there a lot despite what people think there are ship teases

Like how Kayano's reaction when B**ch-sensei kissed Nagisa and speaking of kissing Nagisa litereally kissed Kayano and not to meantion the other ship teases I showed like Nagisa and Kayano dancing. The point is Matsui gave us a lot of ship teases between Nagisa and Kayano with them even kissing and with Korotan D revealing Nagisa's feelings to me it makes the most sence that Nagikae is canon.

My final thoughts:

If you disagree that's fine more power to you because in the end opinions are subjective so don't take things personale. For me persoanlly I think Nagiake is canon due to the ship teases and other stuf like the album and Korotan I 100% belive Nagikae to be canon.

Comprehensive Guide For Assassination Classroom Content

Because it's pretty hard to find a straight up list of it all. Please note that whilst I believe this is accurate, I was not involved in the fandom whilst the series was active and so could reasonably miss something.

Core Content

Assassination Classroom manga as serialised in Shounen Jump. If you buy the physical volumes, there's a bit of additional content between chapters, most notably introductory character profiles.

Assassination Classroom anime (some count seasons 1 and 2 as separate entities)

Assassination Classroom Meeting Time - an animated short featuring Korosensei and Karasuma's first meeting.

Assassination Classroom Extra Curricular Lessons - adaptations of a couple of manga chapters that weren't in the show itself. I'll just link a playlist here. Fun fact this is where Nagisa gets hit by a chair (lowkey he deserved it)

Additional Content

365 Days Movie. This isn't 'canon' as it's an anime original thing. There's no official English release that I know of. Honestly the movie is mostly a series recap, and only features Karma and Nagisa in new scenes. It's only really worth watching if you especially ship them as there's only maybe 10 minutes of actual content (and most of that is just montage, you can get the gist with this)

Roll Call Book - this was published mid manga run. It's mostly just a bunch of bonus content particularly character based. No official English translation exists, but snippets are easy enough to find online.

Graduation Album - as the name implies, it accompanies the end of the manga. About half of it is an art book, but there's extra character information especially about their post graduation lives. Crucially it includes a few manga shorts which extend past the actual canon ending.

Korotan A, B, C, and D plus Korosuu. They're mostly just Assassination Classroom themed text books (Seriously. My actual university book store sold them.) Korotans are for English vocabulary, Korosuu is for maths. Notably each book also contains a light novel (sometimes these are just referred to as 'the light novels'). It is debatable how canon these are as Matsui didn't write them, but he was involved through illustrating and overseeing the writing. Korotan D is especially debated because it's post canon content set when 3E are 18, but there's a small 'it was all a dream' implication right at the end of the book. Personally speaking I take them as full canon.

Official Spin Offs

The live action movies (part one and two). They change a lot of plot so I place them more in the spin off area. Easily skippable.

Korosensei Quest Manga (otherwise known as Koro Q) - a spin off gag manga set in a fantasy/video game inspired universe. This is not canon (unfortunately) and as far as I understand Matsui isn't involved in it. There's an implication of the idea it's Fuwa's own manga creation. Overall there are four volumes but there's no official English version (though fan scans aren't hard to find).

Korosensei Quest Anime - lightly based on the Koro Q manga. This is only a short 10 episode series though, and was complete long before the original, as such only the first few episodes are actual adaptations and it starts doing its own thing. All voice cast return so that's neat.

The OVA - basically an early adaptation of the Kyoto arc. Link here. It was released in 2013 so predates the actual anime, and a lot of the voice cast are different.

White day shorts featuring Karma, Maehara, and Nagisa - posted on official website as an otome game parody for promotion. Included because they're voice acted.

The 3DS games. They're region locked as far as I understand, and there's no translation of them. You can find it dumped if you know what you're doing with emulators, I've only played a few minutes of it myself.

The app game - no longer available. It was a gatcha tie in game featuring a variety of character illustrations.

Various merch lines and related illustrations. There are far too many to list and new ones still come out sometimes.

As I said, I hope I covered everything but there's a good possibility something slipped my mind.

korotan d inspired bcs I think jerome accidentally flirting w shizuha bcs they look pretty is funny

[banhtet]

SHORT HAIR HAYAMI ??!?!?!!

SHORT HAIR HAYAMI THE WORLD... how come i didnt notice that she had short hair in korotan d the first time. a bit of a self indulgent timeskip hayami post. not a perfect imitation of the ref but idc.. HEADCANONS : - i think shed wanna try branching out to other hair styles. so w yada, nakamura and haras advice/suggestions, she decides to cut her hair short - she plays it safe at first,, cutting it only just past her shoulder a lil bit. not too noticeable. and so she can envision it a lil better - accident happens while cutting and it ends up w her hair unwantedly wayyy shorter than intended - she doesnt grieve over the lost hair exactly, rather feels more upset by the fact that now itll attract attention and such - i think her girlfriends try to console her by saying like "dw itll grow back!!" but hayami doesnt rlly care abt it - i think yada would be attracted to short hair hayami............ its just Right - hayami feels a lil off looking into the mirror every morning but eventually she comes to like how it looks - "well.. i dont rlly mind it now" she says - i hc that shes tried a variety of styles in college as shes got more freedom then but the short hair is still her one of her favs as its a lot more convenient (also she looks kinda good w it..) - expectedly got a lot of attention at school for it, shes both kinda annoyed and flattered at how many ppl gush over her (mission failed successfully) - yada def has a field day taking pictures of a flustered hayami (delusional)

[no-naem]

Now I shall put some of my favorites of the unfinished art from the 100 Kayano Days challenge. [Rubs hands together]

These are all in order from old to new, from September 2022 to January 2023.

It's a hot day. Karma: "I want cuddles, and I can't cuddle Akari (she'd kill me). So..." Nagisa: "You're too hot." Karma: "I know I am." Nagisa: "YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!" Karma: "Cuddle time." Nagisa: "IT'S 31 C!!! AKARI, HELP!!" Akari: "Sorry Nagisa! I have another love to attend to. You're on your own."

(Lol the dialogue is kinda off but I like what I was trying to go for.)

Aguri lives AU but at what cost. Akari is this 🤏 close to losing it.

Adults Kayano, Kanzaki, and Karma went to that one cafe that was doing that collaboration with a popular video game.

GoM AU, with Akari slowly turning into an antimatter creature. It took a long time for her to transform, and there was no cure to stop this. It wasn't fun, but at least her friends were there for her.

Kayano and Akari, Deemo AU, based on that one art for ANiMA from the game.

Okay, THIS one I still like a lot. It takes place in the Okinawa arc, and the concept was that there'd be a montage where each student would use Korosensei's Ultimate Defense Form as a blunt weapon to knock out all of the guards. And then end with Karasuma taking out Takaoka the same way.

GoM AU again. Nagisa excitedly shows off one of his partners. ...and yes I made antimatter Akari 10 feet tall. :D

Surprise Koro Q! Based on that one episode from the anime. Imagine if the transformation was permanent.

Baby shark doo doo doodoodoodoo...onesie.

Shirt reads: "I am completely normal and not insane I have no desire to harm anyone I am not carrying a weapon." I like the potential chaotic vibes in NagiKae. They're besties.

Eldritch AU!!! Context: some of the 3E students are eldritch beings, and Kayano is the reincarnation of an ancient being that ruled a whole other dimension filled with other eldritch monstrosities, which she can summon. This AU gave me so many brain worms, yet not enough to help me finish any of them. 😩

I have a bleak zombie apocalypse AU. Takes place after their high school graduation, probably after the events of Korotan D? Kayano's half-infected, Nagisa's a zombie, Karma has severe head trauma that he can't fix and it's making him go wack, and Gakushuu's trying to keep everything together.

I wanted to draw more than one birthday art for Akari and this was one of them. Just her and her big sister...

This one was gonna be a prank. Forgot about it though LOL.

The concept was Kayano arriving in limbo, dazed, after getting killed. But Aguri tells her to go back. It's not time yet.

Aberration AU. Takes place 4 years after canon, right around the time they're in college. The monster behind them is basically both of them. Their memories and DNAs make up the monster. Kayano and Nagisa are unhealthily codependent after being kidnapped and used as experiments for...3 years. 😐 But it's okay. They eventually get rescued and get therapy.

Kayano twins AU. I was gonna draw a short comic about the twins but I had to give up because I was struggling for some reason. (Why is this pic so LONG???)

One of the Christmas/Karma birthday ideas. It'd have Karushuu kissing under a mistletoe. Kayano's just here for the desserts, man.

Eldritch AU. This would be a sequel to Day 88, featuring Kanzaki (she's a time god) instead, but I didn't have enough motivation to finish it.

This is just Day 93, but Aguri and Korosensei were supposed to be there with her, along with the rest of group 4!! But I ran out of time.

And finally, this is another limbo situation where the Yukimura sisters would hug each other one last time. But then I thought it was too sad and went for the "Aguri lives" ones.

If you made it all the way to the end, then WOW thanks for reading!! Hope y'all liked reading about my thoughts! There are actually more arts that are unfinished but those are like...really messy lol.

Korotan D Special: Test Taking Advice from Class E - Volume 4

Here’s the final installment of test-taking advice from Class E! This may be the last page of advice, but it’s just as solid as ever! A shame that not every student got their own advice column, but at least everybody made some kind of appearance.

Fuwa Yuzuki (during the test): I hold the key to keeping a calm mind during a test. To do so, you should run simulations and create a routine before the test.

Mimura Kouki (preparing for the test): I think it would be a good idea to preview the examination venue and confirm things overall. You should especially keep track of where things like bathrooms are. Also, you should prepare multiple travel routes to where you’re going.  

Yada Touka (right before the test, or during the break period):  When you enter the testing venue, it might feel like all the other test examinees are smarter than you, but that’s definitely not true, so tackle that test with confidence!  

Yoshida Taisei (during the test): This might sound obvious, but don’t fill in the wrong column on your answer sheet. It’ll be marked wrong if you do that on a  bubble sheet. As long as you’re careful, you’ll have nothing to worry about, right, Terasaka?

Itona Horibe (right before the test, or during the break period): Naturally, you won’t be able to look at your smart phone or any other kind of mobile phone during the test. Get a wristwatch so that you can keep track of the time. Also, don’t forget to turn off your smart phone or any other mobile devices so that you don’t get accused of cheating.

At the bottom of the page: 

Akabane Karma: “Even if you finish early, it’s not like you can leave right away, so be sure to look over your work~”

I guess Terasaka has filled in the wrong column before ^^;

I like how Fuwa dramatically says she “holds the key” to something when she’s giving advice. I also like how Itona’s advice is technology-centric and how Karma’s basically telling the reader not to be lazy.

Always Smile

Ever since I saw the illustrations from Korotan D. I wanted to draw my new otp for the dancing scene.

Even tho this right here didn’t happen

[irraydiance]

Hi Nagisa/Kayano shippers.

The issue of WSJ released in Japan this week has an ad for Korotan D in it. A preview illustration appears to show Nagisa and Kayano dancing together. I wonder what the other Class E kids are doing in their final year of high school.

Korotan D is out September 4th.

Hi hi out of curiosity who exactly is puey? I’d never heard of him before seeing your art despite engaging with a ton of assclass content over the years and I think (?) he’s not an oc based off some of the panels you’ve posted. Am I just like. Forgetting his existence or smth? Sorry if this is a weird question shdhdhhdhd

So AssClass has this series of school textbooks called Korotan and like you'd expect from textbooks, they're meant for educational purposes and in this case, it is to teach English.

There are four Korotan books (from A to D) and each book contains a spin-off novel set in between canon events. Each novel always had something to do with learning the English language or simply becoming more proficient at it. The novels weren't written by Matsui but he did give them the green light and even drew the accompanying illustrations himself.

Puey is from the Korotan B novel, which took place just after Leader time and before the parkour incident. He's a young southeast asian assassin who was sent to kill Koro-sensei, and temporarily became a 3-E student when he failed his first attempt. His story is all about learning to communicate better with others, trusting his companions and combining strengths with everyone when he finds himself struggling. Isogai and Chiba practically adopted him lol.

And speaking of those two, there was a moment in korotan B that severely convinced me that Chiba had a crush on Isogai.

He's very much a canon character since he came and went, that his story didn't leave any weird shifts in the actual pacing of the series.

Puey... had a lot of racist undertones in the way he was portrayed in the original korotan b novel, even if you add the headcanon that he's part of a tribe.

And as a southeast asian myself, I simply went crazy with the headcanons and the pinoy-coding just to be comfortable in making fan content of him, since it's not everyday you'd find a SEA character in the series you adore.

Aside from the Korotan books, there's also the Korosuu, which is the sole math textbook. Same format and everything.

Scroll down to the bottom of this masterlist I made a while back to see all the translated novels if you're curious 💕

[dr-j33]

Anyone got a summary of what happens in Korotan D?

[gojixyz69]

Korotan D Prequel (and changes to Korotan D)

DISCLAIMAR:

If you don't like this post and disagree with my opinion that's fine. In the end opinions are subjective and if you have your own thoughs, ideas and opinions that's awesome just don't take it personal when someone has different thoughts.

So if you don't know what I'm going talking about, basically Korotan D is a Assassination Classroom story that takes place 3 years after Koro Sensei's death and is stated to be canon by Matsui. Now if your following me then you would my thoughts on it but for those who don't I personally think it's fine, even though I have problems with it I do think it's a fine story whitch if you really want more AC content you should read it also there's @blazardragon english translation of it.

But despite this I have problems with it heck I even made a post talking about how I would change it whitch if you want you can read it here

However despite already making changes to it I do have more ways on how I would change Korotan D and if your wondering why I would make another post talking changes to Korotan D it's because of the problems with it and those being the ending where Nagisa gets scoulded by everyone for no good reason and also because Korotan D felt like it was going to confirme ships specially since there are ship teases and the story felt like it was going to confirme atleast one ship but it didn't.

I know it's stupid but again this my opinion, anyways as you can see I'm going to do something a bit different, instead of just changing Korotan D I've decided to make a prequel for it and as for why, well it's because if I just changed Korotan D it would basically be the same post I already made just with a few changes and that's boring and not to meantion that even tough I'm changing somethings I want the changes to make sence whitch is why in my previouse post on the subject I made thos changes because I wanted it feel right and also fix the problems I have with Korotan D, whitch is why I decided to make a prequel to it as it would help with the changes I would make and also no the chagnes I'm refering are not the ones I made on my previouse post, but rather new changes I would make. Anyways with out further a do enjoy.

Korotan D prequel

The prequel will take place a years before Korotan D whitch would make it take place two years after Koro Sensei's death. Now as for the story it would be focussing on Nagisa and his parents how would try to make up for the makes they made, with his mom (Hiromi) trying to make up for the abuse she caused and his dad (Matsui) trying to make up for lost time. They would also be better towards each other with them reconnecting thos old feelings they had for each other.

As for Nagisa he would be kinda deppressed as he would miss his Class 3E classmates and the times they spent togheter with Koro Sensei, he would realize that Kayano has feelings for him when he remembered the times when he was with his classmates. He would have nightmares of Koro Sensei and his friends dying, him muredring Kayano who would saying "where were you", "I loved you, I really loved you".

However despite this Nagisa would talk and hang out with his parents and friends who have time whitch would make him almost forget those nightmares, but he would still miss his friends and he feels stupid for not realizing Kayano's feelings whitch he wants to make up for when he gets the chance to see her again.

Changes to Korotan D

Now that we have the prequel covered now it's time to see how it would change Korotan D.

When Class 3E is reunited Nagisa is more than happy to see everyone again and he wouldn't even care about Karma hight difference atleast not at first and he would excited but a bit nervouse to see Kayano again as he's planing on asking her out whitch would also make him jealouse when Kayano has to do a kiss scene with Jerome but luckily for Nagisa it didn't happen whitch made him relife.

When Karma asks him if he's bothered by Kayano woeking with Jerome like he did in chapter 4, at first Nagisa doesn't know what to say but he does ask Karma he could keep something a secret whitch Karma says he can whitch made Nagisa feel a bit mire relife and tells Karma the truth but little did he know that Kayano was listening.

Here's how I imagine it playing out:

Nagisa: The truth is I'm a bit anxiouse I don't want to Kayano kissing Jerome.

Karma: Oh really.

Nagisa: Yeah and well... I realized that... Kayano has feelings for me.

Karma: Really, huh it's about time you knew.

Nagisa: Wait you knew?

Karma: Of course I did infact I and Rio tryed to help Kayano to conffes and be real it was obviouse.

Nagisa: Yeah I guess it was and I was stupid realize... whitch is why I want to make up for it.

Karma: And how are you gonna do it if I may?

Nagisa: I-I... I'm planing on asking Kayano out on a date.

Kayano: WHAT!

Kayano's outburst made Nagisa turn in shock as he sees Kayano who's red as a tomato after hearing Nagisa say that.

Karma: Well I guess I'll leave you two alone.

Karma walks away leaving Nagisa and Kayano togheter.

Nagisa: Kayano. I'm sorry.

Kayano: For what?

Nagisa: For what I said and being an idiot.

Kayano: Don't say that it's fine it really is.

Nagisa: No it's not I just wanted to make up for not realzing how you felt and... I really wanted to go out with you.

Kayano: R-really.

Nagisa: That is if you want to-

Before he could finish he's sentence Kayano grabbed Nagisa by the coler and kissed him softly, after she pulled away form him Nagisa was a bit suprised.

Kayano: Does that answore your question?

Nagisa: Yeah.

So yeah that's I see it playing out. After that Nagisa and Kayano go out and Korotan D continues on as normal only with Nagisa and Kayano daiting. And finally once it was time to do the kiss scene Nagisa was anxiouse but Kayano and Karma assured him that he shouldn't worry about it whitch helped Nagisa and luckily just like in Korotan D the kiss scene doesn't happen and after Class 3E are togheter they look at the sunset with Nagisa and Kayano siting next to each other holding hands.

So yeah that's my Korotan D prequel and the changes to Korotan D. Now again if you don't like and disagree with my thoughts that's percetly fine just don't take it personal.

[hanatsu04]

YEAH BUT

nagisa princess-carrying kayano tho.

[dreaming-of-assclass]

Reading your reblog of the Kaho/Retaliation arc got me thinking about how much I hated that Korosensei punished the entire class - even those who were responsible and didn't parkour, and forced everyone to abstain from studying for two weeks bc I hate it when authority figures and teachers punish an entire group for something only a few people did and screw over those who were innocent because guilt by association. Tbh I much prefer your idea to everyone getting screwed over. :/

YEAH!!! I have such a HUGE problem with that punishment too. Like seriously...it really upset me ngl.

I agree with you! That type of reasoning in school settings is infuriating, and I remember how upset I got when it applied to me in my younger grades. It just is so unfair...in the case of 3-E, more than half of them didn’t even participate I think. (I may be wrong)

The only part of this that I am semi-interested in...is the building of class drama and tension. Once again, the extroverted/assertive students of the class screwed over everyone, and I think that’s SO good for potential class conflict. Like the passive kids deserved to be rightfully pissed at them, honestly.

The biggest reason why this consequence upset me though was that Koro essentially dug them all graves by not letting them study. And that is beyond messed up to me because these kids go to a prestigious school. A competitive school. And majority of them have super strict/abusive parents. I don’t even want to think about the danger they could’ve been in had they flunked just because their teacher gave them a shitty punishment.

And it’s so scary because like?? They can’t even tell their family they failed the exam because of him!! He’s a government secret!! No one can know about the class and their activities! Hhhhhh it just makes me so stressed thinking about it :(

I just feel like the class definitely could have an arc about learning responsibility and maturity...but not like that, you know? This just felt so incredibly harsh and misdirected. And the whole class got impacted!!! If I were one of the kids who didn’t participate, I’d lose my shit on the class oh my god. I wonder why no one was mad at the kids who did parkour...or even the two boys who started it (Okajima and Kimura)

My ideal solution: use the kaho arc as a way for the class to get in over their head, make a mistake, and face a reasonable consequence. But really, I don’t mind the parkour arc...I just would get rid of that awful punishment, and have the class face a realistic conflict amongst each other.

Listen, 14 year olds can be PETTY. And in this situation, they’d have every right to hold a grudge against each other. And shhhh it’s not just me wanting entertaining drama lmao.

Also Fumiko brought this up: some of the kids who did the stupid parkour stuff were really ooc?? Like the sniper duo?? Isogai?? KATAOKA???! When would these kids EVER do something so stupid. I definitely would change up the lineup because this is not it lmao

^^Going back to class drama hehe: if you guys haven’t noticed, most of the biggest problems came from the assertive kids (I’m talking Group 1 + 2 mainly)

Exhibit A: The Retaliation arc. To be fair, it was mainly Maehara’s friends and whoever was there who were pissed but still....they definitely led this little problematic mission.

Exhibit B: The Irina incident. This one fucks me up so much and I could write a whole post on it separately. This was a bit of the whole class but once again: the assertive kids led it through. They have the biggest influence in the class. Like no way Group 3 for example would be like, “Uhhhhh hey let’s mess with Bitch-sensei’s love life lmao”

Exhibit C: The Parkour incident. Enough said.

Oops forgot but: Exhibit D: THE SKIRT-PEEKING ROBOT UGH

And just in general I feel like these kids would be the ones to lead things they shouldn’t be doing...like stalking people/classmates...(cough cough Korotan c cough cough they did my man Shuu dirty)

The assertive kids hold the biggest influence in the classroom, it’s their voices that will be heard above all others. That certainly changed a bit towards the end of the series when they came together more, but it still holds truth.

It would have been so goddamn interesting if we had a realistic class conflict in which the more passive members of the class finally spoke up, and brought up the unfairness.

I’m getting so off-track hahaha. But yeah basically these are my thoughts. I 100% agree with you.

Also....can we talk about how Koro slapped those kids.... like that came out of nowhere.....

He didn’t wanna touch Takaoka who was actively beating children, but he slapped his kids who accidentally injured an old man...like ok Koro 💀

(For the record I love Korosensei. I just get so confused by the inconsistencies in his teaching lmao, esp in this arc)
