Generally asian parents are that way. And in reality even less understanding than Nagisa's mom, sadly.

I actually cried this episode... Even though I love my mom, she is not as bad as nagisa's (who i see as an exaggerated characterization of many mothers out there), I can think of countless situations when I wanted to do one thing aboute my life, hairstyle included, and she would say: no, my way is better. After many years of burying my opinions and wishes, I realized iit's best to be happy with who you are and want to be. This decision came after years of hearing that what I wanted was not as good as what she tought was best, and at the same time when you answer: whatever, you can choose for me, you get yelled at for not having and opinion (I just couldn't win, glad its over, even tought we fight almost every day, I feel happier). Rant over...

Exactly, she's abusive af towards Nagisa (pulling his hair, constantly reminding how she wanted to have a daughter, never letting him make his own decisions, DRUGGING him, trying to force him to burn the school.. etc) Like... being his mom doesn't excuse her from being a bad person and she should be in prison tbh

Hooooly jeez. I'm both happy and upset the thing with Nagisa's mom got resolved (at least seemingly) so quick. Happy because I don't have to experience the discomfort of watching it again, upset it didn't get the time it deserved.

Parts of the episode she wasn't in (even her presence is unsettling after that initial scene, really puts you in Nagisa's shoes) was funny as usual, but that was some really rough mood whiplash

I find it odd that he didn't get to go with his dad. Maybe the legal system only got to see his mother as a professional without seeing what was underneath, making his father seem far less fit a parent.

I just watched this episode this evening, and I almost wanted to avoid it because I was so triggered when I heard of this insane bitch known as Nagisa's mom. However, I came to watch it because Koro-sensei always knows what to say in situations, and I think we all need a Koro-sensei for sure.

Man, what a downer ending. Nagisa got his mom to back down for now, but he's just going to have to keep putting up with her abuse until he gets out of the house. A better ending would have her in jail for drugging her kid and trying to FORCE HIM TO BURN DOWN HIS SCHOOL and Nagisa going to live with his dad, who was shown to actually seem to be an okay guy. A problem I have with this show is how warped the morality is, it's bugged me before but it's really bugging me this ep, a lot of it is so arbitrary or just plain wrong.

Koro-sensei having road rage was funny, and him putting Nagisa's mom in her place was great. Wish she had gone to jail for trying to burn down the school and had Nagisa taken away from her and given to his dad, though, she's such a psycho I'm surprised she hasn't hurt Nagisa or castrated him and forced him to live as a girl to satisfy her need to force him to be her ideal.

You bingeing through this fast I can see all your forum posts. His mom's hair is a darker blue so there is that. As for the eye color, sometimes traits can pop up after lying dormant in genetics but I wouldn't worry too much anyways I mean people cant even have blue or green hair. Also his mom is not colored in the manga so it may have been the animators choice.

lol Yeah. I apologize for wasting your time. The question wasn't serious. I always ask that question as a joke (Not that you would know. Plus, I take everything into account so I've pretty much figured it out if the story didn't explain.) whenever a kid doesn't look like his/her parents. Why? For example: One can joke about the mom cheating on the dad prior to being pregnant. In the end, I don't care. It's just a joke for me.

Goddamn. I'm getting chills about how Nagisa's mother resembles my own, minus the crazy burning down the school thing. Growing up I always felt I had very little choice in life. Kind of took it for granted but in hindsight I could have had so much decisions which were not what I really wanted. Definitely shaped who I'm but the sense of regret is there.

Oh what is past is in the past.

On a brighter note, Irina looks hotter in regular clothes definitely. Also Korosuma XD

"Do what you wish. I don't care."

Really? That's kinda... lackluster. She went from caring too much in the wrong way to not caring at all.


It is actually quite realistic. from personal experience,that is the raction a father takes when he realizes that what he believes is best wont be done and he cant force it to be done.

btw,her face strongly reminded me of the Titans in Attack On Titans lol. also,i dont see how Nagisa's trick worked,as it requires him to have 2 weapons for it to work and he didnt have a single one,so how did it work?
also,that assassin felt SO half assed lol.

I don't like the resolution of this episode. Felt like other shows I watched like Erased and Your Lie In April dealt better with abusive parents. Nagisa's mom was borderline insane and her reasoning didn't make any sense. There's barely any good excuse to drug and abuse your child.

I would be much more satisfied if he:
A. Left the house - seems like the healthiest choice.
B. Assassinated her - wouldn't be as friendly and morally okay as the first one but wouldn't it be dark and interesting if he did? Also she deserves it and he is a very talented assassin. Would probably make for a different character progression so, it's just an idea.
C. Let her die - a little bit more moral than the previous suggestion, also would make for a convenient resolution and well, she wouldn't get away with it.

I don't know, it could've been so much more interesting if he was on his rebellious side, even if it's just a small thing like shaving his head or running away from home. But I guess they wanted his character to make a more humble decision.

As much as I dislike Irina, boy does she look fine in that!

Nagisa actually looks cooler and less girly with his hair down. That butt-ugly mom though! I don't necessarily hate abusive or controlling mothers if they have good backstories and information to explain their problems, like Rosa Ushiromiya from Umineko for instance. A brilliant character. The writer of this series on the other hand fails miserably at making me sympathize and relate to the borderline evil characters like Irina and Nagisa's mom.

Didn't like this episode.. that mom is just way overdone. All these years of belief (so much so she's banging her child's head on the table for going against her) changed overnight, and it's not even some kind of amazing realization that made her change her mind..

lol no, mine nor my friends' parents are control freak like she is. Yea you hear a lot of Asian parents wanting their kids to be a doctor or a lawyer or something but while they encourage that notion they don't force it onto you. Most of the parents I know only encourage their kids to have a job that earns you a lot of money, they don't force them to do so like Nagisa's mom.. so yeah, to say that they're even less understanding than Nagisa's mom is really pushing it.

Okay what? Did Karma just allude to Nagisa getting a sex change? LMFAO

WTF my hunch was right. This show is indeed trying to portray adults as monsters. So Nagisa's mom is pushing all her dreams that she failed to achieve into Nagisa who isn't really sure what he wants in life. His mother wanted a girl so she forced Nagisa into the state he is now. That's quite the predicament. His mother is fucked up in the head. Nagisa grew up the way he is because of his mom's conditioning.

From her expressions, it looks like Nagisa's mom didn't learn that much but at least for now, she has let Nagisa make his decisions. We'll see where this will take us.

When Nagisa's mom grabbed ahold of him, I prayed that he'd pull some assassination technique on her. Fucking cunt.

Once again, it seems like anime is expecting us to forgive child abuse as long as the abuser reforms some of their ways in the end. Nagisa's mom didn't appear to become a 'loving mother' as Koro-sensei advised; instead, she's taking a neutral, "I don't care" attitude towards her child.

So, yeah, fuck that bitch.

Yuck. Left a bad taste in my mouth. You can't take a sensitive topic like abusive parents, try to make some serious points about it, and then throw in tons of comedy throughout the episode as well.

As for the mother, there isn't a grain of rationality behind her motivations, and there seems to be no end to how abusive she is. Becoming violent everytime Nagisa opposes her, pulling Nagisa's hair, drugging him and forcing him to burn down the school... A little more subtlety would have been welcome.

It seems "You need to talk to your parents about your goals more" is the message it wants to convey. But it's not like Nagisa wasn't already trying to; his mother just always shut him down immediately. In the end, a simple event enabled Nagisa - who is simultaneously being way too forgiving, by the way - to get through to her. The result? The mother takes a jarring turn in attitude and becomes totally indifferent - almost detached - instead. It really felt simple and underwhelming. I hope future episodes will give this whole ordeal some more depth.

Nagisa's mum though complete psycho, control freak, tries to dress you up as the opposite sex because you aren't what they wanted, guilt trips you over natural things a parent should do without thought and how you should be greatful for it. Couldn't even imagine having to endure that on a daily basis.

All in all what an absolute shitty parent, also did I miss anything?

That was fucking hard to watch definitiley the worst anime mum ever.

scratch what i said in the previous post, this is my favourite episode yet. its filled with nagisa making other people question their sexualities, VERY wholesome friendhsips, and another glimpse of koro sensei's mystery love interest.... i do hope that nagisa and yuji will continue to nurture their friendship because it was so damn fulfilling to see yuji happy for once, despite indirectly querying his own preferences... I LOBE LOBE LOBE! upon hearing the outro tho, i have realised that i committed a half-a-season-marathon-because-i-was-possesed-by-the-anime-gods situation. oops. ansatsu kyoushitsu is such a great anime and i do NOT look forward to ending it bc i havent discovered any mind-numbingly good animes lately aside from haikyuu :( can't wait to see what happens next.

Nagisa's mother is truly a psycho.. I think "severely mentally disturbed" is an understatement. At the 13:55 mark while she talked with Koro Sensei there was an "Out of order" sign behind her. I am quite certain that the director was hinting that she was out of order, i.e. disordered. Nice touch!

I thought deranged mothers or fathers was just an anime/manga trope with little basis in reality. So the trope is not unfounded after all. That's scary..

Looking at Nagisa's POV the episode was clearly disturbing. Her mother is clearly bipolar as well as schizophrenic. The show takes it in a light way which is understandable seeing its viewer base, but its just not suitable for something meant to be a light hearted anime as well. Also, how can koro-sensei ignore the abusive relationship between nagisa and her mother? She clearly required psychological therapy.

I kinda hate how they treated Nagisa's story like his mother treated him like a girl his whole life, now I understand just how painful those jokes about him looking like a girl actually feel to him. Obviously, he will be a killer and has what it takes to be one if he grew up with all that trauma. He needs therapy NOW and to go live with his dad.

This was not resolved at all, it's way more serious than what they made it out to be. At least I hope that the girl jokes stop. I feel SO bad for him.

It was a good episode.

I have to say, I've been so proud of Nagisa for all the times he stepped up and this ep was one of the top moments for me. Needing to speak up and against toxic parents is incredibly difficult and I have anxiety from the same expectations and toxicity from my own parents. Nagisa managed to protect his mother and even talk to her about what he wants to do and it's a huge hurdle in itself. I feel like a proud Mama when I watch him grow and develop. Keep it up our precious boy.
