The father-son parallel was also nicely done.
Apparently, his father, who is a normal just like him, fell in love with and ran away from his mother because she is an extraordinary Abnormal. That obviously affected Zenkichi while growing-up, as everytime he thought of his father, and saw himself reflected in him, he vowed that he wouldn't make the same mistake as him. He wouldn't blame his mediocrity on someone who is extraordinary, his father's mistake. So, in a way, we can see the effects that his father had on raising him, even while being totally absent!

Man, this chapter, how can I say it... manly tears.
Everything in this epic fight was wonderfully played, culminating with one of the most if not the most awesome conclusion in the series. Iihiko just had a taste of his own irreversible damage. His spirit that had kept him alive for five thousand years, destroyed forever. Zenkichi hasn't come victorious of just one more fight. This is his most important victory, he didn't save Shiranui only, he saved all the humanity. Nisio, once more, I take off my hat and salute you |

It remains to be seen how absolute his ability is though.
Its probably just because that is the usual way things run in stories but I have a hunch that all damage he previously dealt to the world is, now that he is gone for good, reversible.

They will wait until the nurse recovers and she will return everybody (even the dead) to the physical state before being beaten by Iithiko (and then the Doctor that was cut in half will kill her, since that ability is to broken to continue existing).

Interesting twist about Zenkichi's dad, ran away from his family because he couldn't handle feeling inferior to his Abnormal wife.
There so many parallels between Zenkichi and other people. Misogi Kamome Fukurou And his own father. It's like a virtual "how to" of ways for Zenkichi to lose his way, maybe even turn evil. Wonder if we'll ever see him in person. And what's with the kanji and Fukuro's tongue? "To Hand Down to, Pass on, Bequeath" Must be the style he created just for IIhiko, maybe we'll see it after all. |

I realized that I don't hate the manga as much as I hated the heroine. The manga is actually alright even I hated the plot twists and the anti climatic endings to each arc. I felt that the recent fight with Iihiko could had gone longer but as with Oudo, Ajimu, Kumagawa, Unzen and Momozono it was a logical way to end the arc. I don't hate story or fandom but some characters irritate me greatly. It may not be different from I said earlier but I am not really as cranky as I was.

Given how death is handled in this manga, I wouldn't be surprised if Iihiko's powers could reversed by a style or skill that reverse anything Iihiko destroyed. That was basically All Fiction but that was defeated by Iihiko. Quote:
Similar to Kanome, Zenikichi grew up without a father and secretly resented his father for leaving him. Similar to Fukurou, he grew in shadow of his friend and lover and secretly resented for being so awesome while he was mediocre.
