Well, yeah, she "beat a protagonist", so now the only thing left that she can't do is kill herself. Last edited by Tyabann; 2012-09-19 at 13:34. |

Well, that's all just random guessing and theorycrafting on my end, so feel free to dismiss it as wrong.

This is why it's always better to wait a little before going all crazy about a chapter with Nisio --and spoilers no less. Iihiko looks like he came from a different world... Maybe he was active in an Edo period manga, travelling with a monk or something... (with his Asura like design and all)

You know, Orange, it's still strange, since Medaka herself said she'd lose to Ajimu, and she's the protagonist.
I guess It was possible she was just bullshiting us. One way or the other, she was giving us false information in the sentence "I'd prostrate before her", If she's still a MC. |

Well, if Ajimu can't beat Iihiko that would mean he's the main antagonist (i do not know what the japanese term for protagonist is, but if it's something along the lines of main character, or centre character, then the main antagonist-protagonist pair should be untouchable for Ajimu)

I think it's more likely that she doesn't know the limits of her ability, The End. More likely, the kind of minuses that she'd have to acquire to stand a prayer of beating Ajimu would be the kind Kumagawa has. It's possible that she is aware enough that copying such skills is a horrible idea.

Well remember, Ajimu beating Medaka isn't just about fighting. I think Ajimu's aware she could defeat her, but it wouldn't bring her any satisfaction.
I was wonder....did Devil Style really mean anything? We've heard the characters rationalize it for how Zenkichi managed to win against Medaka, and why Kumagawa didn't see his old foes(which seems like a coincidence in of itself). |

Now, though? Yea, seems rather...more than largely forgotten? Maybe Nishio has something in store for it or something. Quote:

Well, if I remember correctly, Medaka would constantly make snarky comments about how Ajimu was overestimating her and Ajimu could easily overwhelm her with her 600 billion people and however many skills, with Ajimu then replying that Medaka would still win.
But anyway, if we take Ajimu's descriptions of 'protagonists' to be true, then that means the only one who can defeat Iihiko are other protagonists, meaning Medaka herself or possibly Zen, if he still qualifies as an 'artificial protagonist'. Although thinking about it again from yet another view, I have the feeling Shiranui will play a large role, since for the most part this arc seems to focus on her

Wait a minute... if Devil Style basically means that the manga (it's a very meta-ability, after all) won't go the way it is expected for the protagonist... then the fact that it didn't become very important is defying expectation, as clearly outlined by nearly everyone's posts. Devil Style is at it again!!

Maybe. But if so, I think I'd like Nishio to kinda show some restraint with it like he did in the True Flask Plan Arc. That seemed to be the perfect medium for the ability.
Now, I don't think anyone who read the Jet Black Bride arc would've considered Zenkichi the protagonist, but, when you read the previous arc, it's more than apparent. Because he just dosen't feel like the protagonist anymore. And that's freakishly important. At least, for me. Since it was basically the point of the True Flask Plan arc. |
