I hope the spoiler is fake to tell you the true. But i suppose it's better wait some spoiler pic and see if this spoiler is true or no.

He's doing this to piss people off. He's been doing that for years.

Spoiler for 150:

Well, we don't exactly know how much All-Fiction has been nerfed, do we? I've long suspected that all it can do now is prevent him from dying, which doesn't exactly mean that he can win.

It never meant he'd win as Zenkichi showed, but he can't lose which is basically as good as a win, he can outlast them and has no endurance issues, thats the real issue.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Looking over the spoiler again I can't believe how badly emukae got trolled, she didn't even force the person to use her style she was just fighting normally.

There's no confirmation on the spoiler, but like I've said it hasn't really been wrong yet and it has come out at the usual time.

Psst. Certainly works wonders if it's true. Though this is the first time I've had this vibe from Medaka Box.

[Soji]

Tenchi Hou Take@ I really hope this spoiler is fake.

Spoiler for spoiler:

If what you say it's true I will feel really sorry for Emukae. She don't deserve this>_>

Probably because Medaka box is now somewhat safe. With the anime and decent volume sales I doubt jump is in a hurry to cancel it. So he can pretty much do what he wants.

Spoiler for spoiler:

She's a minus, she'll get over it. Anyway, Zenkichi's a lost cause, she's going down a path that's only going to keep her unhappy, if she snaps out of it and gets over Zenkichi, it can only be good development for her. She doesn't need him.

[Randrak42]

Ah well, if Nishio's objective was to piss fans off then he's a master at doing that.

Spoiler for 150:

As much as I'll rage over Emukae losing horribly and Kumagawa coming out of nowhere to save the day...I guess I'll TRY to reserve my judgement of how good or bad a move that was for a bit...

Well, the ability is one that frees the story from the narrative conventions associated with the genre. Without any conventions tying the story down, literally anything can happen. Theoretically, the author could have them all massacred by the "strongest suitor" in the next chapter and it would still be justified by "Devil Style".

Kurosu@

Spoiler for spoiler:

I don't mean the thing about Zen. I mean the way she got trolled and lose>_> that's the thing she don't deserve i already know that Zen is a lost cause.

Ah but if Zen dies, Devil Style would deactivate bringing shounen logic and plot back into the mix...enter dragon ball style resurrection and Medaka suddenly turning into Goku and beating everyone single-handedly

[Wolfenstein]

Or not. Shibushi did say her 'Minus' wouldn't go away even after she died. Zenkichi's 'Zero' shouldn't be that far off.

Spoiler for well:

People were already questioning how the heck Emukae would even remotely win against this suitor, given the information beforehand. Had Emukae somehow won, it would've been an ass pull. Truthfully, I kinda thought she would lose. Her losing, and her confessing will only do her character good, she can't keep deluding herself that she should live for Zenkichi.

Spoiler for spoiler:

but winning and moving on aren't mutually exlusive. God knows when she'll next get her time to shine. I didn't even really care if she won or not she should have at least got a positive experience from this at least to some degree.

[Soji]

Kurosu@

Spoiler for spoiler:

Well I know this and I agree. Still I was hoping that she would at least make the suitor use her style.

[Wolfenstein]

Spoiler:

The far better route would be her growing out of that naturally instead of being violently disposed of those feelings, like Akune with Medaka. Her winning could simply be attributed to the same performance boost Zenkichi's getting right now, and to the will and motivation her character has as she has obviously been working herself out to stand in Zenkichi's council. She deserved her fight and a win, really. She deserved some good character development. Deserved more than a chapter to shine before being called 'useless'.

This is forceful character development, for whatever reason, I don't see this absolute trollage of the character as anything welcome.

If anything, Kaisos is right, Nishio's only doing this to piss people off.

Spoiler for 150:

But getting a horrible beatdown without the suitor even using her style is unnecessary. Yes, her winning would be a big asspull, but at least let her lose with dignity, not become another useless damsel in distress for a broken character to save.
I think it's just that, most people are annoyed at the way she lost rather than her actually losing.

EDIT:

Spoiler for 150:

That's the thing, she didn't even get a chapter to shine. Emukae got a chapter to belittle herself and 1 page to shine. ONE PAGE, not a chapter, one page. The others have gotten one or two chapters to look awesome, she got one page and then a beating the next chapter. It's unnecessary and unfair...which is doing a great job at pissing some people off...

[Kurosu]

You guys are too sensitive

Spoiler for well:

granted she could win and move on, you can't win them all. It'd get boring if everyone won everything, gotta lose some time. Is this doing a disservice to Emukae's character? I wouldn't say so, because I doubt it's being done in mean spirit. If she loses badly, she'll get back up eventually. I really doubt it's Nisio's intent to just crap on her forever. You guys are living in the moment way too much.

[Wolfenstein]

Spoiler:

People actually like Emukae's character, what do you expect when the author treats her character like useless, disposable trash, when It's her time to fight, and up until now the Student Council has put up great fights and had decent development? We expect the members of the team to get some good development and spotlight, not just be trolled to hell and back.

Worst of all his how she loses, and how she's saved. Perhaps you simply don't care for the character enough to see how much of a disservice this is.

[Randrak42]

I think I'm just gonna stay out of this thread until the chapter comes out...we're dealing with my little yandere so I dunno who I might start acting if the discussion continues for further =.=

With that said, someone please warn me if there's a new development until the chapter release (ie: new spoiler info or the spoilers turning out fake...which I doubt by now)

Thank you
