Vs. Akira Takaoka

Plot

Takaoka first appeared as a new P.E. teacher for Class 3-E sent by Ministry of Defense as they were impatient of killing Korosensei. Once he appears, he greets the students and gives them food, drinks and sweets as a sign of greeting them. He tells Class 3-E (minus Karma Akabane who skip classes again) that he'll be taking over the P.E. class from now on and self-proclaims himself to be their 'father'. Tadaomi Karasuma was then informed by the female bodyguard who accompanied him telling him that he's very dangerous. Sure enough, once Karasuma sees a second picture of him showing his 'previous family' his abuse, he begins to give Class 3-E a hell schedule with no time to study. He knees Hiroto Maehara and slaps Yukiko Kanzaki when they object to his training and forces Karasuma and Korosensei to see his hellish method of training. His goal is to gain fame and popularity after one of the students kills Korosensei due to his training and gets to boss Karasuma around. After attempting to punch Hinano Kurahashi who calls Karasuma for help, Karasuma steps in and demands him to stop abusing the students. Anticipating his actions, he decides to make a wager that if one of the students, selected by Karasuma, was able to stab or poke him with a knife, he'll leave the rest to Karasuma and leave the school. Otherwise, Karasuma has to allow him to follow up with his hellish training with no objections. However, he makes the student use a real knife, believing he'll gain the upper hand as he knew none of the students had ever held a real knife before. Whoever was selected, he would belittle Karasuma for his decision as he observes them as the 'weakest' among the students. His actual plan was to avoid the chosen student's attacks and then beat him up so severely so that the students would have no choice but to obey him. Additionally, he also wants to see him in despair if he loses or forfeits the match.

History

When he was in the military, Takaoka was able to produce elite loyal troops in a short span of time by connecting with them as a tightly-knit family and standing as a violent father at the same time. It is assumed that Takaoka was never reported on due to the possible reprisals against any whistleblowers.

Appearance

Takaoka is a rather large and stocky man with black hair that is slicked back, black eyes, a big nose, he is very muscular from years of intense training and he was first seen with a very friendly look on his face, but this drastically changed when he showed his true colors as a brutal drill sergeant.

Personality

Takaoka initially appears to be a very kind, hardy and helpful man with a good sense of humor and someone whom young people respond well to. However, he turns out to be a sadistic drill instructor who abuses his strength and power through brute force and violence. He believes that the best way to train soldiers is to earn their loyalty through two elements, affection and fear; the ideal ratio being 10% affection, 90% fear: soldiers who've been continuously subjected to brutality will weep with joy over a tiny sliver of affection. He does not hesitate in beating up anyone, even the students (such as kneeing Hiroto Maehara and slapping Yukiko Kanzaki when they object to his training), just to show how powerful he is. The truth is that he does not care about the students' welfare at all - he only cares about gaining fame from them killing Korosensei due to his teaching as well as forcing Tadaomi Karasuma to acknowledge his methods and being able to boss him around. It did not matter to him if half the students dropped, so long as the other half become successful assassins. He hates losing to anyone. He has an obsession of watching the suffering of his opponents and will sadistically beat/kill someone just to assert his control of others, furthering his dominance by forcing them to recognize him as their father figure. He also has a habit of raising his tongue whenever he has the upper hand. Despite his sadism, Takaoka is shown to be a coward once he loses and is cornered.
