Getting hit in the nose has a different feeling from getting hit anywhere else because the nose is a particularly sensitive part of the body. The nose is full of nerve endings, meaning that it is very sensitive to touch and pressure. Additionally, the nose has a direct connection to the brain, so any sensation of pain or pressure that is felt in the nose can be felt more prominently.

Furthermore, the nose is home to a number of delicate and important internal structures, such as the sinuses and nasal cavity, which can be damaged easily by a hard blow.
