Intelligence: Gifted, In contrast to his unimposing stature, Nagisa is one of the most gifted assassins in his entire class, having nearly killed Korosensei at the start of the year with his willingness to use himself as a suicide bomber. He is deceptive and skilled at hiding his intentions, as even Korosensei, a former master assassin known as "The Reaper" was unable to notice his intentions until the very last second. Nagisa has also been trained to be skilled in hand-to-hand combat, knife work, and the use of firearms, allowing him to match trained soldiers in combat.
Weaknesses: Nagisa can grow reckless or lack foresight during combat while focusing on his target.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Bloodlust: Nagisa is able to project his bloodlust as an aura that can cause frightening hallucinations to those it is directed at, paralyzing them and rendering them unable to counterattack as Nagisa closes for the kill. However, should Nagisa be consumed in his own rage, he'll often suffer from tunnel vision and will often miss certain details which can allow his opponents to catch him off guard.
* People Reading/Discernment: Nagisa developed the ability to read people's expressions and intentions with ease as a result of his past experience with his controlling mother. There are occasions when he can detect if a person is lying or not being entirely truthful (e.g. Terasaka when he is plotting with Shiro) After being placed on the receiving end of the Reaper's improved Clap Stunner, this ability somehow later evolves into a sort of advanced ability that allows Nagisa to analyze a person's state of mind simply by looking at them. This is illustrated and/or described as "wavelengths" or "wavelengths of consciousness" of people that represents their breathing, line of sight, facial expression, body language and more. This ability allows Nagisa to find a person's "color in consciousness,Assassination Classroom; Volume 13; Chapter 112" or their next move, whether or not it will be safe for him to assault the target, "gaps in consciousness,Assassination Classroom; Volume 13; Chapter 112" or openings in their guard, as well as their "peak in consciousness,Assassination Classroom; Volume 12; Chapter 103" or the state of mind in which a person is highly susceptible to outside stimuli, such as the Clap Stunner, which he has made effective use of in different ways, from stunning enemies before attacking them to simple, almost trivial things such as being able to remove a size label from clothing without the person wearing it noticing.
* Clap-Stunner: A typical stun clap has three conditions that must be met for it to be used effectively:
# The user must have more than one weapon.
# The opponent must be skilled at combat.
# The opponent must have experienced the feeling of facing death at some point in the past.Assassination Classroom; Volume 9; Chapter 71
After facing The Reaper and experiencing first-hand a higher level of this technique, Nagisa also improved this ability to some degree.
* Kiss of Death: Nagisa has shown some level of skill when using Irina's "Kiss of Death" technique, able to acquire 15 "Hits" off of Kaede and enough to knock her out. Irina has remarked that Nagisa's training in indiscriminate French kisses have bestowed on him remarkable enough skill to exceed his classmates by a large margin, as he is supposedly capable of registering a total of 40 "Hits" if he were to place more effort into his kiss.
*Japanese Self-Defence Forces Martial Arts: Underwent basic military training from a professional instructor who was at the top of his division. 
*Capoeira: Au Sem Mao.
*Boxing: Overhand Punch.
*Grappling: Basic Pin.
*Jiu-Jutsu: Flying Triangle Choke.
*Taekwondo: Back Heel Sweeping Kick.
*Nanba: A walking method said to have been used by Ninjas. By moving the arms and legs on the same side together, you avoid excessive movement from twisting your hips and adjusting your balance, thereby suppressing the sounds made by the rustling of your clothes and footsteps. It can even be used to erase one's presence entirely. Nagisa possesses the second highest stealth score in the entirety of Class 3-E.
*Free Running: Nagisa possesses a mobility rating of 3.5/5 which shows a high proficiency in using this technique. The description of free-running has been provided in the "acrobatics" under the "general assassination skills" of the powers and abilities section.
