Well, Devil style doesn't mean that there isn't rules. It just means that Zen can keep the impossible from happening. In this situation, he probably would have prevented anyone from finding a loop hole in the rules or springing up a surprise condition of the rule in the nick of time.

I am trying to figure out how the caught Shiranui. Her ability is called "Rule eater" after all and she has been known to get away with breaking the rules before.

I think most of you are jumping to conclusions way too quick. Nisio has never been a writer who contradicted himself —at least not without good reason and sound explanation. If the Jokers lost in some way, we'll get a proper explanation why.

In the mean time, I'm more curious about the sub-family members than anything else. Since the word sub-family entered the manga, everything began feeling more like a Nisio work and seeing the first 8 members, it looks like Kurokami family's sub-families are as crazy as those in Zaregoto. =w=

(A tiny note: I don't understand why people keep calling Nisio a troll. Troll is way too crass and insulting. It's one thing to be an incompetent writer and say "I'll do that" and not do it, and another thing to be a skilled writer and shock your readers every time simply by being unpredictable. No definition of troll is fitting for what Nisio does... Sure it's easy to say troll and people will keep calling him a troll, so who am I to say anything —thus just a tiny note.)

(It's "Real Eater - 正喰者")

if Medaka lost she would have married the winner already. So since the fight is still going on, she and her group has not lost.

Maybe the current trial is a week-long endurance contest, and Medaka is going through it right now.

That would be far too easy, imo. It's probably something alot more ridiculous.

When she lose > the suitors will have to fight among themselves to decide who will marry her.
(Not marrying one of them as soon as all of jokers lose.)

Such a cruel irony Zenkichi...(not only giving her the purpose she pursued for nearly fifteen years, but also inadvertently rejecting her).

Actually, you can't really blame him though. Just how old was Zen when Medaka proposed to him? They were just freaking 2 years old and what's more they just met.

The gang didn't even worry when no one is piloting for them.

One of many flaws in Medaka: at the age of 2 she already had the brains of an adult, hence why that rejection hit her very hard when a normal child wouldn't even hesitate in first place.

Exactly why I call Medaka a smart dumb girl at that age. She's totally book smart but still a child, with social interaction and knowledge to match. Plus she failed to realize that unless they were abnormals, kids her age ain't that bright (though suddenly asking anyone to marry them after the first meeting is a surefire way of getting rejected regardless of age)

Anyway...it's nice to have a confirmation that Medaka IS indeed in love with Zenkichi and no like some people and Bukiko thought, that she kissed him but it just overflowing love with no deep meaning behind it. Apparently the only thing keeping her back is the fact that she is too dumb to realize Zenkichi was a 2 year old kid she didn't even know when he rejected her...

You know...it's not often we get a reverse childhood promise like this, what with every other MC in mange promising to marry their childhood friend when they are older. I love you for this Nishio.

I might be wrong, but it looks to me that Medaka and her team lost. From the way Bukiko was talking it looked like Medaka is being kept in chains as a prize, possibly until the rest of the suitors decide who gets to marry her.

Now to NAZE-CHAN! Nothing needs to be said...I'm just very satisfied and happy with every single moment she's involved in this chapter. Love how she showed no hesitation but at the same time is her usual case of being crazy prepared.

OH yes and...Zen Harem having a party in the back seat of the plane...approved.

So, uh, Medaka thinks Zenkichi friendzoned her at the age of 2, when since then, he has been trying to friendzone everyone but Medaka.

And he dosen't even remember rejecting her.

Haha. Keep trolling.

...Weeeeelllll~ Ain't this a kicker... If it's like this, then her behavior towards him is almost completely explained with just those few panels....

If only those two heard each other's words from the last few chapters...

"I am the one who will marry Medaka-chan. How did you know?"

Medaka: ... ZENKICHIIII~!!!

So wait, hypo-speaking, if Zen had said 'YES', then her 'born to help other people' wouldn't have been so straight-minded as she became in her later years. Funny...

I'm somewhat sure that Zenkichi is aware of this.
This is why he's so confident that if he confessed to her, they would be in a relationship already, which is why he's waiting so she can live her life freely.
He knows he can do it at any second, so why rush things.

Even the events till now in the arc seem to be leading to it. That's why its way too suspicious.

I don't think it will happen at all , at-least for now, and probably there will be some sort of twist that will lead the arc in another direction.

Yeah, the pace is way too fast, as compared to the previous two battle arcs.

I somewhat suspect they're going to return to Hakoniwa to find it in ruins...
