The one hundred and forty-ninth chapter of Assassination Classroom decides the paintball war and reconciles its two rivals, as Nagisa's choke wins the day and Karma finally accepts saving their teacher.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
Bracing to slip Nagisa's blade, Karma is caught off guard when Nagisa flings the knife aside and locks him into a triangle choke instead. Korosensei points out that Nagisa reached for a technique tied to Karma's own combat strengths rather than his usual approach. Struggling for air, Karma understands that losing this way would leave no room for dispute. On the edge of blacking out he manages to seize his knife, poised to end it, then chooses to give up, reasoning that no one would honor a bare-handed match settled by a blade.
Key Events
With his surrender, the paintball war ends in a blue-team win and the class commits to saving Korosensei. Karma suggests he and Nagisa go back to acting like real friends, and the pair patch things up, dropping the stiff honorifics they had clung to as a first step. Karasuma, however, stresses that the students must keep trying to kill their teacher even while they search for a way to spare him, and the class roars its agreement.
