Medaka Box [Manga]

[Tyabann]

Sorry for the double post.

Spoiler for 168:

As was expected, Medaka has to undergo the "Kurokami Trials" in order to attain the headship. It's another tournament-style battle arc, but the first opponent... is Kumagawa, who appears to have been granted Hundred Gauntlets as a "parting gift" from Ajimu.
Zenkichi is still unconscious/dead. Scratch that Hitomi brought him back or something.

Dunno how accurate all this is though. Grain of salt.

Are you sure about that?

Spoiler for 168:

I read on 2ch that both Kumagawa and Zenkichi woke up. Else he wouldn't be making tsukkomi to Namanie

Also, @Wolfenstein: yep, spoilers seem to confirm that he's professor Fukurou.

[Tyabann]

Yeah I just edited my post with that. Sorry.

They did, if you actually purchase the manga, Hundred Guantlet is a skill that reverse casualty.

[RRW]

I believe you meant causality here, as in reversing cause and effect (casualty referring to someone getting injured/dying), as the skill is described as 『因果を逆流させる』

huh. you're right, vol 11, oh well, that's what I get for not reading the character bios despite actually purchasing the manga :P

[shmaster]

Ah, thanks for correcting my spelling.

Just to add, Hudred Guntlet's kanji somewhat means "hatch in the palm". Meaning it returns things into a egg cell like state, reverts phenomenon into a beginning state.
iIt really beats me on how Anshin'in san can consider this skill to be peaceful.

Anshin'in San doesn't really have human morality after all. From her perspective, reversing causality may well be peaceful, considering that a being of her age might have quite a different perspective of the universe.

I suspect, it's because she's thinking in terms of Entropy. More Entropy equals more strife (in her world-view), and Hundred Gauntlets reverses not only Causality, but Entropy around with it.

Well, just some speculations, but I think it's quite an illuminating glimpse into the blue and orange morality system possessed by Ajimu.

I'm kinda curious myself.

Spoiler for spoiler:

btw talking about Hundred Gauntlet is kinda a spoiler isn't it? Well without the context it isn't I guess.
Anyway, I do wonder what he's going to do with it. It certainly sounds like an ability that could turn into All Fiction with a little tinkering.

[shmaster]

The content discussed so far didn't go beyond what was revealed in Vol.11, so not in the spoiler boundary.

on the other hand, wasn't it stated that All Fiction was built on Hundred Guntlet in the first place?

Yeah, that's what I was implying. I can see the connection now is alls I means.

[Wolfenstein]

@RedKey

Thanks for confirming that!

And are these spoilers are of the 100% trustworthy? It seems you and Kaisos found the same one, so I'm inclined to believe so? I find them to be strange, though(not that that means much).

Also, yes. Kumagawa's original All-Fiction was a Hundred Gauntlets with "Kumagawa's parts". Ajimu said, when she removed Hundred Gauntlets, she could only remove the original skill, and that Kumagawa still has "his" part of All-Fiction. So I guess Kumagawa's All-Fiction is back at full-power.

[LeaD36]

well 2 chapters instead of 3-5 but they are back nonetheless

[Tyabann]

Spoiler for 168:

So a few of the spoilers (Kumagawa being involved in the Kurokami trials) I mentioned may have been fake, I don't know for sure. I'll stop posting things here until I can sort out what I hear properly.
This is true though!

[Wolfenstein]

Spoiler:

Did he just get brotherzoned? Lol.

[Tyabann]

Chapter's out.
So the stuff about the Kurokami Trials was completely fake... I'll be more careful in future before posting stuff here.
Great chapter though.

[orangejuicetang]

Chapter is out

Spoiler for 168:

I really had to laugh at Ajimu saying that this is just a projection, and then Kumagawa immediately taking a look under her skirt, at which point Ajimu kicks him and says she predicted that.
The Ajimu/Kumagawa conversation was really interesting too. Although it was at the point where it felt like I wasn't sure if it was really a recording and Ajimu was good at predicting, or if that was the real Ajimu who was just pretending to be a recording.
Also, whoever predicted the 'director' being Medaka's other father a while back, congrats, looks to be the case
