Medaka Box [Manga]

[Lupus753]

Well, I can think of people who could probably survive (a certain brother seemed to be pretty damn untouchable by anything in that sidestory. Don't think he could win but he can definitely survive) a fight with Ajimu easy enough but am unsure on who would win.

Masaki Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo, obviously. At the end of his series (OVA), he was more powerful than the three Goddesses who created the universe. Somehow. In fact, he might have actually been outright omnipotent.

This is very possible, mind you.

If we're talking about people who could beat Ajimu I might as well throw in Touma's plot ar-I mean Imagine Breaker. Or Ryougi Shiki's whole connection to a omnipotent exsistance plus her mystical eyes of death perception. Oh, we also can't forget the whole list of broken people in comic books.

Although I have to ask, aren't we getting of topic.

Ajimu is omnipotent. Her quadrillion skills is just a fancy way of saying that. It's not like she's limited to those skills either, these are just the skills she developed over the course of continuously trying to achieve the impossible. She says she casually discovers new skills whenever she's in a pinch.

Omnipotent means that you can do anything. In other words you have infinite skills, every knowledge of past, present, and future and even knowledge of other diminsions, etc. The fact that she's visibly surprised at Medaka's whole speech to her about how she shouldn't commit sucide means that she's doesn't have omniscience. Similarly the fact that her skills are still countable is also testement that she's not omnipotent. Omnipotent shouldn't even have to count their skills. Heck the fact that she still could commit suicide means she's not omnipotent. Omnipotent shouldn't die even when they are killed.

Although it should be noted that the definition of omnipotent is extremely vague and undefined but Ajimu hasn't shown omnipotence in any stretch of the word.

Also can we are getting away from talking about Medaka box and into other things so we might want to get back to topic.

It would had been an awesome thing if Nishio wnet all Scott Pilgrim or sdo something similar. Its Scott Pilgrim meets JJBA meets Highlander.

God I hope not... No offence or anything, but I couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes of Scot Pilgrim... But, that might just be an issue with the movie.

The comics are somewhat better but yeah............................

Although I support JJBA and Highlander. Don't know how they will fit with Medaka Box though.

I know nothing about JJBA, as for Highlander... I've seen the first film but... I can't see how the Quickening could be used in Medaka Box. Although, I am all for a couple of people getting their head's chopped off.

Omnipotence isn't possible because it would cause a paradox. Ask an omnipotent being to create a rock it can't lift. The universe would explode. :P

First, you're confusing omnipotence with omniscience. Second, she does have omniscience: look at her particular powers. "Know the answer" sticks out. Third, one of her powers is the ability to not use her powers. She can still be surprised by things simply by allowing herself to be. Considering she spent her entire life trying to prove the world was real by failing at something, it's no surprise she'd be giving herself handicaps.

This also applies to immortality. She has immortality skills, but she can choose to not use them, if she really wanted to die.

You need to be omniscience to be a omnipotent so I am not confusing anything.

Also argueing about omnipotence is almost impossible as being omnipotent is a paradox like someone already pointed out therefore you can't prove someone is omnipotent. One can frankly argue that she's near omnipotent but that's as far as you can go. We can all agree that she's pretty damn powerful though.

As far as I know, the only Zaregoto character who can survive Anshinin is Crystal Kaiser, due to his nature of not losing no matter what happen, even if he can't win.
But then, it is arguable that his not losing nature is not going to apply if Anshinin uses 神の視点.
But I can't see anyone beating her. Orange Seed reign at the top in Zaregoto verse in terms of actual power, and I don't think she can even beat Misogi.

I might be only able to go by the translated text on the parody tcg cards released with the zerozaki novels, but couldn't Saitou Takashi [Humanity's Worst] and our favorite Ii-chan negate Ajimu's skills?

[Guernsey]

The thing about power level disussions is that we are talking about different universes with different rules and different effects. Ajimu may win in some universes and lose in others but that is really up to the readers or authors who 'wins'.

We had better avoid these power level discussions, I had lurked in such boards and it is not pretty.

Thank you...

I have those cards, by trying to say they are cannon abilities would be a bad idea.
Humanity's Worst and Nonsense Player's actual abilities that was shown in the novel is much like Misogi, in his nature of making things go wrong just by being there. But neither Humanity's Worst and Nonsense Player's ability could out right bent reality.
Though, I would be overjoyed if Nisio can create a scenario were Misogi and Nonsense Player meets one another. It'll certainly be a deliciously painful encounter.

[orangejuicetang]

Well, like I said, I can only go by those cards, since it doesn't look like the next books in the zaregoto series are going to be released in English in anytime soon, or that there will be anybody translating them anytime soon, so I'll apologize for the misinformation.

Although it is fun to imagine encounters between certain chars between the two verses, if only for the character interactions.

[.:Jason:.]

Hm. I am only up to the start of the Flask Plan arc but I have a question based on what I have heard: this story arc is when it becomes a battle manga and after it finishes it goes meta for a bunch of genres, right?

Yeah, pretty much. That's understating just how zany this series gets, especially past chapter 100 or so.
