**Nanao Nakajima** (中島 ナナオ, *Nakajima Nanao*) is one of the main characters in the series. He is a shy and kind-hearted boy with a talent that is rarely appreciated. Due to this, he doesn't really get to shine in the spotlight like some of the other talented students.

After a Three-Year Time Skip, He became a Special Director of a Managed Camp that segregates Talented Individuals from the outside world and Tsuruoka's Second in Command.

## Appearance

Nanao has greenish black hair and blue eyes. He wears a navy-blue school uniform and a fancy watch.

## Personality

Nanao is shy and kind-hearted. However, when something bothers him, he is quick to anger (as seen when Nana prodded too far into his home life with his father). As well, due to his family's high expectations for him, he has a bit of an inferiority complex. He believes he cannot rise to the expectations people place upon him and tends to doubt himself.

## Talent

He can neutralize other powers, as he was able to nullify Muguo's fireball in the first chapter.

## Background

Nanao grew up in a wealthy home, with a father, mother, and two unnamed older brothers. Out of all of them, Nanao describes himself as being the least useful. Despite this, his father still had high expectations for him to become a leader and represent their family. Nanao's anxiety from feeling like he could never reach these expectations led him to develop an inferiority complex, and he struggles with doubt. He also has conflicting feelings towards his father, telling Nana that he both fears him and respects him.

## Story

### The Island Arc

He became friends with Nana, the new student. At first he gets angry at her for reading his mind, but later he saves her from one of Moguo's fireballs and they become friends. The class then decides to make him the class leader. He and Nana go to the cliff side where she pretends to have her ability cancelled by holding hands with him. However, Nana suddenly pushes Nanao down the cliff and tells him she plans to kill everyone because the Talented are the true enemies of humanity. Before dying, he was able to take off his watch and leave it by the ocean, leading to Kyouya discovering the watch and suspecting Nana of being the culprit behind the murder.

### Mainland Arc

In Chapter 48, Nanao returns to the Mainland like the rest of his former classmates. He places his hand on the back of Hikaru’s Head and uses his Talent Nullification to nullify his Gravity Control Talent to stop him from almost killing a little girl who looks just like Nana by lifting her too high into the air atmosphere. He then calls his name to address him, and Hikaru was shocked to see him alive. He then shoves Hikaru into the ground and asks him about Nana. He tells him that he heard him mumbling about something that it was all Nana’s fault and demands him to tell him what he knows. Hikaru yells saying that he doesn’t know anything. While Nanao is approaching towards him, he tried to use his Talent on him, but it didn’t work, and he is wondering why. He shortly remembers Nanao’s Talent back on the Island, and Nanao said to him that he showed it to everyone and asks him sarcastically have you forgotten before grabbing him by his shirt and says, "When you're in my presence, you're all talentless.".

## Trivia

1. According to the Council, Nanao has a Potential Kill Count of 10+ million people. (1+ million in the anime)
