While I agree with everything you said, I still think that Kumagawa's inner strength, which he constantly denies, is something completely foreign to his strength as a minus. It's a different thing altogether. While his minus status represents his bitter resentment towards others, he is slowly discovering his own strength of character to be able to uplift himself without dragging down others. In a way, this is his opportunity to graduate from being a minus, so that he can stand on his own without relying on his minus.

You know? That's what his personal skill kinda served for - he himself said that he wanted to really win against Medaka, instead of the win just be a byproduct of fate. He wanted his win feel real, to feel like a reality that he himself made, Devil Style is in essence the creation of a true unbiased and real reality, equaling that playing field. This ties in with his whole normality + effort issues going on for the entire manga. It's a really good character development for Zen, and best of all, it's consistent. Quote:
Though that's rather meaningless from both sides. No story is objectively superior either way. As much of a Kumagawa as I am, I do like Zenkichi almost as much as I like him, I just enjoyed Zen's part better this time because it touched upon his absolute best relationship and connected that to his whole. Shiranui > Ajimu. Real talk. |

I think zenkichi will combine altered mode + devil style + slient eraser and save shiranui by beating shishime , this arc seems to me as medaka shooting her own leg by giving zenkichi to shiranui since i dont think medaka would be able to beat shiranui in love . I dont think medaka will be good match for zenkichi and even if they come together it wont last long so this arc may be for zenkichi to see who he really loves . I will be honnest i never liked medaka and i dont think she is suited for him , zenkichi would probably out of story with shiranui after this arc which is the best for him .

Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Zen ended up with Shiranui since Shiranui > Medaka but it has as much of a chance to happen as him ending up with Emukae... |

The manga does seem like it's about to end and yet still no sign of it any time soon. I also have mixedfeeling about Ajimu's death. On one hand, having a character that follows the Main characters around while going "LOL I could actually finish this all up in 1 second but won't because I don't feel like it." during arcs kinda makes things a lot less exciting. On the other hand, If this were to be the last arc then I would disagree with having to kill Ajimu off since it would be a be pretty sad to just leave her dead, so if there are to be more arcs in the future then this move would make things a bit more interesting.

I obviously have no way to predict the future, I'm just going by what the chapter said now.
PS: Personally, a non Zenkichi X Medaka ending, at this point, is pretty much an impossibility. No matter how terrible the thought might be. Last edited by Wolfenstein; 2012-10-25 at 18:27. |

Personally, I really hate Medaka as a character and consider her a blight on an otherwise enjoyable manga, but at this point I feel Zenkichi deserves to get what he wants, ie. Medaka. The guy goes through so much shit for her sake.

To me, I thought that if he was going to do something different, the best chance he had was with Emukae.
Being straight-forward, the only other two options for him are Shiranui and Emukae. Nishio will never have Shiranui/Zenkichi, since the former is, well, a loli, and he seems to have thrown out the concept of Zen/Emukae. So I really can't see it. But like you said, we can't really predict this guy anymore.

Guys...guys...I believe the most important part of the chapter is that Wolfenstein got himself a signature!
This is mostly what happened to me, Zenkichi just pushed so hard for it that one can barely bring himself to pair him with someone else. Though honestly I still like the two other choices much better...hell, I'd even agree with our little Zombie Samurai School Girl winning Zenkichi. |
