It means that nagisa is canonically squishy.
He literally survived being injected with meth regularly, was forced to stay up days on end while being psychologically tortured, somehow managed to overthrow the local government with his friends, and survived being crushed by a giant robot which exploded on top of him.
What the fuck is he made of? What are these kids made of? Soft bones doesnāt explain the warriors of hopeās invincibility.
thinking about that one danganronpa(?) interview(???) where when the creator was asked how that kid survived getting crushed by that giant fucking robot they just said ākids have soft bonesā. What did they mean by that. what the fuck
Iāve had this udg theory for a while, and I guess itās time to share it: what if part of the reason Monaca tried to get Nagisa killed was out of jealousy?
I mean, think about it. Hear me out:
Nagisa was considered an āeliteā because of his academic achievements. He was widely recognised as being intelligent, despite that being learned rather than inherent.
On the other hand you have the naturally intelligent Monaca who was only known for being the sweet, friendly, ālife of the partyā girl. For all she had to offer, nobody truly recognised her achievements, or cared about her.
Now consider Monacaās dialogue during the infamous kiss scene. No, not that part. I mean this:
āYou have such a hard time, everyone has high expectations of you because youāre so smart. And you even have high expectations of yourself. And youāre always suffering from that, right?ā
You can almost sense that thereās undertones of anger and sarcasm in there. Itās as if sheās saying: āOhh wooow. Youāre burdened by everyoneās high expectations of you because youāre sooooo smart. That must be soooo hard for you.ā And then she follows it up with:
āBut Monaca wonāt expect anything of you. From the very start I never expected anything of you. Thatās why I kept the Successor a secret. After all, youāre just a weak, weak little child that no one expects anything from. Maybe nobody ever expected anything if you in the first place. You probably just thought they did.ā
Thereās two ways to interpret this. One is that sheās taunting him out of boiling jealousy and rage, and the other is that sheās projecting her own trauma. Or both.
Itās kind of difficult to tell, because we never really see Monaca blatantly express anger (aside from her feigned tantrums, which donāt really count). Perhaps sheās so used to her feelings being dismissed that she only expresses it through passive aggression or quiet anger. Or maybe Iām thinking too deeply into this. Idk.

Iāve compiled a list of headcanons that I have for this lil blue boy. Iāll warn you, some are dark, but only to the normal canonical degree. Read below the cut!
- Nagisa is physically very weak. Prior to being kidnapped by Junko, he was extremely underweight as a result of the stimulants inhibiting his appetite, and overexertion. Although heās become a healthier weight, heās still very tiny with little muscle mass.
- Due to his lack of strength, he couldnāt kill his parents in a conventionally violent way: rather, he poisoned them. (his dad being both a scientist and teacher enabled him access to highly lethal drugs).
- He has a strange.. sterile smell. Akin to both a hospital and ozone.
- Because of his trauma involving needles and injections, he has a strong aversion sharp objects. This is why his robot uses a rifle instead of a melee weapon.
- He secretly loves ice cream, despite claiming that sweets are disgusting and unhealthy. His favourite is matcha!
- Heās on the aroace spectrum, and also bi.
- His mom is from Russia, and Russian is actually his first language. Sometimes if heās experiencing particularly strong emotions, you can hear his accent come out.
She used to call him Ā«Š¼Š¾Ń Š¼Š°Š»ŠµŠ½ŃŠŗŠ°Ń Š½Š¾Š²Š¾Š»ŃŠ½ŠøŠµĀ» (my little new moon) because of his surname.
Heās written little poems about Monaca in Russian. And cursed at servant in his native language, too.
- His āhornsā function almost as sensory organs, like cat whiskers. They can sense subtle changes in wind patterns, temperature, and vibrations. When he is exhausted or sleeping, they droop down. Nobody knows why.
These horns are also very sensitive to the touch. Nagisa experiences a shooting pain if theyāre handled too roughly. However, if theyāre stroked gently, heāll feel a pleasant and calming sensation (good luck on him letting you do this, though).
- He often feels cold, abnormally so for someone his age, which is why he wears his scarf all the time.
- He refuses to admit it, but heās extremely touch-starved. His parents werenāt exactly the physically affectionate type, so when Monaca hugged him, he bluescreened internally. Also, he not only allows Jataro to cling to him, but enjoys it quite a bit.
