I am disappointed that Zenkichi didn't have a bigger role in solving Shiranui's riddle...I kn ow Medaka is the MC but Zen and Shiranui were supposed to have a super strong bond and all that...I hope he doesn't fade into the background this arc and let Medaka handle everything. I like Medaka and all but Shiranui has always been seen as Zen's best friend since the start of the series (plus she still has a thing for him).

Is it me or Medaka actually more of a monster now that she is not president anymore. Now that she can understand other humans without fighting them, I am even more frightened than I am right now. She seems to be able to undestand people better than they understand themselves but I guess she is just really straightforward especially when you consider how she handled the puzzles, Kumagawa and the last 'arc' of the manga.

Medaka and Shiranui have had a fair amount of interactions in the series, guys. I'd go as far as saying that the Medaka Shiranui relationship is more important than the Zenkichi-Shiranui relationship in the genre shift. Remember that whole "values enemies more than friends" things?

This is a forum made for that. Internet forums are made for you to put out your reactions to the current, the present. Not to chaste yourself and be all like: "Oh, well, It might change, so I better not say anything about it!" I'm really, really sorry for being so blunt and crass, but the only one who should stop whining here is you. |

Because, honestly, I could just apply this to current Medaka Box, just as your previous statement. Since, let's be honest here, I don't think Nishio can imagine a scene with this Medaka failing at something. Not confronting your statement or anything, but I'm kinda stealing it for now. Though I hope he surprises me with the upcoming chapters. |

*chuckles* I guess I'll add in a lil 1 cent observation on how Medaka 'knows' Shiranui so well. She doesn't 'know' Shiranui like Zenkichi does persay, but she does understand Shiranui's way of life enough to come up with how she would act in a given situation. In that situation, Zenkichi did the 'Normal' thing and focused on the time limit and the 'improbability' of the situation. Medaka, on the other hand, solved it because she operates differently than Zen does.
This wasn't so much a case of 'Who knew Shiranui the best?' but rather just a matter of focusing on the task at hand. Well, that's how I see it. I'm not trying to downplay either one - Shiranui is a tough lil cookie to crack. It's amazing that Zen of all people still remember her without any help from the other superpowers that we've seen. And besides, even though we haven't seen it, Medaka has obviously seen the interaction between Zen and Shiranui pretty much everyday. You can see how one acts around people from watching them with others, right?

Therefore it's only natural that Zenkichi would remember her, as we've seen in the jet black bride arc. ...and who else here actually takes the time to read all of Ajimu's skills? Some are truly hilarious |

Tempest you just hit the nail in the head of my main grievance with this chapter.
I never thought Medaka knew more about Shiranui than Zenkichi. That's absolutely preposterous, I can count on one hand the times Medaka and Shiranui exchanged dialogue. No. The problem is Medaka now just lost her own "flaw", in the Mangaka's eyes. You know, she was an insuferrably terrible character in her saviour persona(admittedly a little more tolerable after), but know her only weakness(not understanding people) is just gone. And she's back to being as boring as she ever was(not that it got much better), because now, she can't fail. At all. Point-in-case, being able to deduce Shiranui's MO without know shit about her. If the manga's focusing on Medaka now(and it is), I predict some of the most brief and boring conflicts ever. How I miss the promising end of the True Flask Plan Arc. Too bad it was a load of crap. |

Well, we're only three chapters into this arc, and have progressed far faster than I think most people would have anticipated, so really who knows at this point. |
