In chapter 179 of _Assassination Classroom_ , there are 2 panels showing hands
holding each other:

My hunch is that there's no distinctive evidence (unless there is some from
the anime or movie or something) as to leave it perhaps to the reader to
interpret as they like to avoid backlash. Though I feel there have been a fair
amount of hints pointing towards Kayano and Nagisa if I got the names right
(Kiss, valentines, the poster in the top left panel is of her). Though there
could be evidence against it as well that I am not aware of.

Whose hands are these?

Whose hands are these in Assassination Classroom chapter 179?


The poster and the scene afterward featuring Kayano strongly implies the
female hand is hers.

It would sense that the person she was holding hands with someone that wasn't
present at the old classroom building at the time, assuming that all the
vignettes were happening more or less in real time.

The most likely conclusion would be that the male hand belongs to Nagisa.

After being questioned by Hara, Kayano didn't deny that they weren't together,
and only mentions that he's focusing on his teaching career.

The anime skips this scene so there is no decisive conclusion, only
speculation.

I don't think so.

First, we remember that the team was supposed to meet at the station, and the
ones holding hands seems to be with them too. And we also must consider that
Kayano was already there when the team arrived at the campus.

So, we have Maehara, Isogai, Fuwa, Kataoka, Okajima, Yada, Kimura, Chiba,
Hayami, Hara and Mimura.

Then, we could add that, as you can see, both wrists aren't covered by any
sleeve; yes, they could have rolled up their sleeves, but it wouldn't make
much sense. So, it excludes Kataoka, Chiba, maybe Fuwa (though we can't see
where her sleeves reach) and makes even more sure that the feminine hand isn't
Kayano's.

Moreover, I'm not sure about Isogai, because, as we can see, his hands are
both occupied; but he could have laid the bag or the broom in the station.
Yes, it wouldn't make so much sense, but I'm considering every possibility.

In the end, the only possible popular ships it could be are Isogai/Kataoka and
Kimura/Yada; although, Isogai has the problem we first said, and Yada
canonically likes girls (it's stated that she had a crush on Kataoka), so I
personally think it's a ship that we never saw, like, I don't know, Fuwa and
Mimura, or Hara and Okajima, or anyone you want.
