I’ve compiled a list of headcanons that I have for this lil blue boy. I’ll warn you, some are dark, but only to the normal canonical degree. Read below the cut!
- Nagisa is physically very weak. Prior to being kidnapped by Junko, he was extremely underweight as a result of the stimulants inhibiting his appetite, and overexertion. Although he’s become a healthier weight, he’s still very tiny with little muscle mass.
- Due to his lack of strength, he couldn’t kill his parents in a conventionally violent way: rather, he poisoned them. (his dad being both a scientist and teacher enabled him access to highly lethal drugs).
- He has a strange.. sterile smell. Akin to both a hospital and ozone.
- Because of his trauma involving needles and injections, he has a strong aversion sharp objects. This is why his robot uses a rifle instead of a melee weapon.
- He secretly loves ice cream, despite claiming that sweets are disgusting and unhealthy. His favourite is matcha!
- He’s on the aroace spectrum, and also bi.
- His mom is from Russia, and Russian is actually his first language. Sometimes if he’s experiencing particularly strong emotions, you can hear his accent come out.
She used to call him «моя маленькая новолуние» (my little new moon) because of his surname.
He’s written little poems about Monaca in Russian. And cursed at servant in his native language, too.
- His “horns” function almost as sensory organs, like cat whiskers. They can sense subtle changes in wind patterns, temperature, and vibrations. When he is exhausted or sleeping, they droop down. Nobody knows why.
These horns are also very sensitive to the touch. Nagisa experiences a shooting pain if they’re handled too roughly. However, if they’re stroked gently, he’ll feel a pleasant and calming sensation (good luck on him letting you do this, though).
- He often feels cold, abnormally so for someone his age, which is why he wears his scarf all the time.
- He refuses to admit it, but he’s extremely touch-starved. His parents weren’t exactly the physically affectionate type, so when Monaca hugged him, he bluescreened internally. Also, he not only allows Jataro to cling to him, but enjoys it quite a bit.

I’ve had this udg theory for a while, and I guess it’s time to share it: what if part of the reason Monaca tried to get Nagisa killed was out of jealousy?
I mean, think about it. Hear me out:
Nagisa was considered an “elite” because of his academic achievements. He was widely recognised as being intelligent, despite that being learned rather than inherent.
On the other hand you have the naturally intelligent Monaca who was only known for being the sweet, friendly, “life of the party” girl. For all she had to offer, nobody truly recognised her achievements, or cared about her.
Now consider Monaca’s dialogue during the infamous kiss scene. No, not that part. I mean this:
“You have such a hard time, everyone has high expectations of you because you’re so smart. And you even have high expectations of yourself. And you’re always suffering from that, right?”
You can almost sense that there’s undertones of anger and sarcasm in there. It’s as if she’s saying: “Ohh wooow. You’re burdened by everyone’s high expectations of you because you’re sooooo smart. That must be soooo hard for you.” And then she follows it up with:
“But Monaca won’t expect anything of you. From the very start I never expected anything of you. That’s why I kept the Successor a secret. After all, you’re just a weak, weak little child that no one expects anything from. Maybe nobody ever expected anything if you in the first place. You probably just thought they did.”
There’s two ways to interpret this. One is that she’s taunting him out of boiling jealousy and rage, and the other is that she’s projecting her own trauma. Or both.
It’s kind of difficult to tell, because we never really see Monaca blatantly express anger (aside from her feigned tantrums, which don’t really count). Perhaps she’s so used to her feelings being dismissed that she only expresses it through passive aggression or quiet anger. Or maybe I’m thinking too deeply into this. Idk.

“waaaah i hate monaca!! she’s satan!!! she manipulated—” yeah and she looked amazing doing it.
When you really think about it, the concept of Izuru Kamukura is absolutely horrifying. He’s a superhuman being built from the body of an ordinary teen. There is practically nothing that anyone else can do better than him. He shouldn’t exist. He’s not meant to exist, but he does— as a man-made bastardisation of God’s creation.
He was made to emulate perfection and divinity. “Silly humans, you can’t create a god out of mortal flesh!”
… or so it was thought.
