Well, The End is the most amazing blessing. And so much a strength and blessing that it loops back to a Curse, since it basically removes all challenge and worthwhile purpose from life.
Ajimu's fascinating because of her constant breaking of the Fourth Wall, and by being an ambiguous character in terms of alignment. I'd imagine Middle-School Ajimu would have been much like Medaka in terms of how interesting she is But even she despairs of life.
No, the most interesting part of Medaka is her existential crisis. What purpose does a perfect man or woman have, when anything can be instantly achieved. In a way, Kikira shares the same problem too- but unlike Medaka, she never had a real purpose in life- and despaired of it so much she gave up everything, blaming it for the lack of purpose. Indeed, had Medaka not met Zenkinchi, then Kikira's worldview would have been much more compelling.
But there's a very good reason why no-one wants to see Medaka using a minus.
