Just to point out, since you sometimes seem confused at the students' choice of timing to call her bitch-sensei haha: The connotation of calling someone a "Bitch" in japan is pretty much synonymous with "Slut", rather than being a pain or something along those lines

2025-03-26 12:35:22 +0000 UTCI think the IDEA behind the technique is to draw the foe's attention to the knife and then psychologically *shock* them with the sudden clap, giving you just a MOMENT of defenselessness to finish them off with your 2nd weapon. Of course, this is anime, so it has to be a borderline super power and explode. :P

2025-03-26 02:17:01 +0000 UTCI am reminded of a Star Trek quote: "Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to." When it comes to the question of assassination vs. murder. The mission objectives being "acquisition" here and the currency is moral compromises. The two examples here are Nagisa keeping his innocence, while still working on saving his classmates, and the three assassins not really poisoning the children but finding a third way to keep the spirit of their mission intact.

The sudden clap jolted him back to reality, throwing him off balance allowing Nagisa to seize the opportunity and use the stun gun or at least I always thought that.
