Karmagisa is the slash ship between Karma Akabane and Nagisa Shiota from the Assassination Classroom fandom.

Canon[]

Karma and Nagisa were childhood friends and often hung out together during their time in Kunigigaoka School. Karma first approached Nagisa when he saw him reading an article about his favorite film director. They start hanging out, even going out to watch a movie together. An incident in a fast food outlet led to their friendship to decline and eventually reduced their relationship to just classmates by the time Karma got suspended at the end of his third year.

The two got into a fight over whether they should kill or rescue Koro-sensei after discovering the truth about him, Karma was Team Red(kill) while Nagisa was Team Blue(rescue).

Karma-helps-nagisa — Karma boosts Nagisa so he can reach the sign.

Koro-sensei settled that they would play a game of paintball and whichever side is victorious gets to make the decision. About halfway into the fight Karma and Nagisa run into each other across an open ground, they engage in a fight at the end of the paintball battle, when all their teammates were knocked out and gathered to watch them. Nagisa managed to get Karma into a choke hold and the Team Blue won after the latter surrendered. They make up and Karma and Nagisa become friends again.

They are both crying during the final roll call.

Fanon[]

Karmagisa is the most popular ship within the fandom. It is also the most written ship for both Karma and Nagisa on AO3.

Due to Nagisa's androgynous appearance, many fan-works will have him dressed in feminine clothes and/or positions. Some popular AU's in the fandom are Female Nagisa and Evil Karma/Nagisa.

The rivalry between the two characters is often considered as a sexual tension by fans of the ship. Karma also reacted rather strongly when he found out that Nagisa wanted to save Koro-sensei because Karma believed that Nagisa was the best assassin in the class. Karma's also constantly teasing Nagisa, similarly to how one would tease their lover. Karma's demeanor towards Nagisa is clearly different in comparison to the other students. There are many videos of fans on YouTube wanting this ship to be real, although no scene in the episode had indicated that Karmagisa is real. Karma does have a different kind of friendship with Nagisa and it is often portrayed in the episodes. When Nagisa and Karma are fighting in Chapter 143 (Division Time), Karma gives up in the end, because he regrets pushing himself away from Nagisa when they were in their first and second year. Yusei Matsui hasn't given any indication of Karma×Nagisa. In 'Valentine's Time', when Rio and Karma are helping Kaede give the chocolates to Nagisa, Rio says, "Poor guy can't imagine the opposite sex wanting anything to do with him."

It is the rival ship to NagiKae.
