==Personality==
Karma is known for his violent and unpredictable personality. To the point where he was suspended from school at one point due to said behavior. He's also incredibly fickle and mischievous, often teasing or pestering Nagisa for his own amusement. He also has a bit of a sadistic streak in spite of his overall loyalty to Nagisa and the rest of the class.
Karma is generally very relaxed in personality, in spite of the situation that the entire school must deal with over the entirety of the series. He even goes as far as to skip tasks he finds boring. In spite of how selfish and fickle he can be, Karma is perfectly capable of, and often willing, to commit acts of genuine kindness. The entire reason he even got into Class E in the first place was because he had saved a senior from being bullied by other students.
Karma has an intense hatred of anyone who calls themselves a "teacher", along with bearing a low level of respect for adults in general. These were both the results of his most trusted homeroom teacher, Kensaku Ono betraying him prior to the events of the series. However, Karma does become more objective after Korosensei became their new teacher and the class was tasked with assassinating him. He's now more considerate towards and respectful of his opponents', as well as teachers', strengths and weaknesses alike.
