Beginning with Volume 9, the Tankoban included “Individual Ability Stat” charts for the Class E kids, 3 per Volume. This is different from the “Assassination Aptitude” charts that came with the profiles in the databook.
So here are the charts released between Volumes 9 and 12. (These didn’t resume untilVolume 14) The Abilities, rated from 0 to 5, starting from the top and going clockwise are:
Physical Ability (体力, includes strength, endurance, stamine, etc.)
Mobility (機動力)
Close Quarters Assassination (近接暗殺)
Long Distance Assassination (遠距離暗殺)
Academic prowess (学力, ie ability to think, learn and acquire knowledge)
Characteristic Skill (固有スキル)
The Characteristic Skill for these 12 are as follows:
Due to some adjustments on the Baidu forums, links to the extracts of Okuda, Kataoka and Kayano’s profiles were mismatched, but have now been repaired on my Character Profile posts
A chalkboard drawing of members of Class 3-E, some new special illustrations just for the exhibition - one featuring Nagisa, Kayano, Karma and Okuda as adults with Korosensei; another with Nagisa and Korosensei (in his human form) alongside Neuro and Yako from Matsui’s previous work, Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro.
Also on display was a Korosensei action figure made by Matsui himself.
All things considered, it’s crazy that Matsui drew new stuff for the Exhibition, for works whose serialisation has ended some time ago.
Like, was it his own crazy idea that he decided to do something new? Was it because he simply had the time to spare, compared to many others who currently have works that are serialised?
Whatever the case, these are very welcoming. It would be so nice to visit this, along with the Sket Dance one.
And he stillwouldn’t stop with the ship-teasing……………..
Brainrot Time: A detail about KaruMana that I liked a lot
I wasn’t really that surprised to know that Okuda doesn’t find Karma that scary, or at least not anymore.
As shown in the flashback in his introductory episode, violent depictions aside, Karma can be pretty gentle with people, from just hearing how kindly he spoke to his senior after defending him.
We may have caught a glimpse of how they interact when alone together in the test of courage episode, but it’s not hard to imagine how Karma treats Okuda for her to feel so at ease being around him
Especially when we later learned that she’s both afraid of Itona and Hayami lmao
Karma Akabane is bellusromantic aroace on main and it’s crazzyy that no one else notices it.
During the field trip, the boys all ask each other what girls they’re into. When Karma is asked, he takes it rather in stride. “Hmm, Okuda, I guess.”
What gets me is the “I guess” part. Cause he knows they’re talking about romance/sex, but he knows he’s aroace and he’s chill about it, but there’s no reason to randomly come out to these dorks, so he just picks the girl he thinks would be the easiest to get along with.
Like if he cared about making friends, he’d probably become friends with her. She’d be really useful in the mission to kill Korosensei
And it SHOWS in how he answers why. Like he doesn’t say anything like “she’s cute” or “I like the shy type” or “nice personality” he’s like, shes good with poisons and we could cause a whole lot of trouble
If he has to choose someone, might as well be her
He’ll just play along, since he can’t be bothered to be bombarded with amatonormative questions afterwards if he did end up just flat out say he doesn’t like anyone
He doesn’t care about sex or romance, but he does find everyone elses thoughts on it amusing. He’s a go with the flow kinda guy, up to a point.
He gets paired with Okuda at the Test of Courage, but even though he knows what Korosensei is going for, he’s not bothered by it at all
Neither he or her are interested in each other. They’re good friends and they’re comfortable like that
He’s more interested in whatever scary stuff Korosensei thinks he’s got planned for them when they go deeper into the cave, if any.
He finds it funny whenever anyone picks on Nagisa, especially when it comes to romance stuff, because he gets so weird about it.
Nagisa is aroace too obviously but he’s definitely not as favorable around romance stuff as Karma is. Karma teases him about it all the time
Karma and Rio tease Nagisa about it whenever the situation comes up
See all the “dates” with the rich boy, and the kiss with Kayano
Its really funny seeing him being so oblivious to Kayano’s feelings, or him getting awkward about the rich guys crush on him. Dude’s so repulsed.
Karma doesn’t do anything for Valentine’s day cause…why would he?
When the guys are trying to sneak a peak at the girls panties, he’s not even there, he’s so uninterested.
Like almost all the other guys are trying to do this perverted thing and Karma just,, is nowhere to be found…
why didn’t the mangaka write him in?
You know why.
Karma is bellusromantic, so he can play-flirt if he is in the mood to. Usually just making jokes with Rio.
Rio and Karma are Aro/Lesbian(??? I think that’s canonical??) Solidarity
Since Karma is bellusromantic aroace, he’s fine with handholding or going on “dates” even though its pretty synonymous with just hanging out, but since he’s friends with girls, to people on the outside it looks like dates. But that’s only if he ever wants to hang out with anyone, period.
During the final battle on Korosensei’s birthday, he grabs Okuda so they can run together
Cause she’s the closest behind him and also they’re pretty good friends and also she’s not as fast as Rio, I think
She also wouldn’t take it weirdly. Not that she knows he’s aroace–maybe she does, but they’re pretty cool around each other. Rio would make fun of him for it, and Nagisa can take care of himself.
When he’s an adult, he obviously isn’t with Okuda or anyone. Doesn’t keep in touch often.
Even with Nagisa. That was established.
He’s focused on becoming a politician. Relationships, outside of the business ones to further his career, are not even in the question– they’re so far at the back of his mind.
Dude’s aroace
Like, when has he ever shown ANY romantic or sexual attraction towards ANYONE? And I mean real attraction. Never, right! Anyway Happy Pride, I just wanted to finally make this Aspec Analysis it’s own post! DNI aphobes, queerphobes, period; and proshipp/antiantis– you’re gross and stupid
