That'd give him a valid reason to be around and might help explain why or how he can subdue Iihiko.
Actually, that was something I noticed too, considering the fact that Oudo is usually all 'The great me' and just in general sort of similar to Gilgamesh from FSN, for him to introduce himself with a 'I'm a nobody, it's just regular me' just seems so different from his previous personality. Curious to see where they take it, I was assuming it was just some type of character development that happened off-screen between appearances that may be shown in flashback

That's actually quite clever.

I don't know why he can subdue Iihiko when before, Zenkichi, Medaka and some others could move under the influcence of Weighted Words. Unless he got, like, legions stronger or something.

That or we're throwing consistency out of the wonder for the sake of not giving a fuck.

Medaka Box is the complete deconstruction of Shounen. Unless you happened to have taken great delight in the likes of
Spoiler for Madoka Magica,In compliance with Spoiler Policies, even though this is almost certainly common knowledge:

But give it a try.

Medaka Box is the deconstruction of Shounen simply for the literal act of doing it, 99% of the time it's horribly predictable even when it's supposedly 'unpredictable'.

I think Madoka Magica stuck to its guns for the sake of its story, even if it was somewhat done the same vein it at least felt genuine.

See I don't think Medaka Box is a deconstruction at all. Affectionate parody is more like it.

It's weird really.


Isn't Ashinin-san's character "flaw" or her main motivation is that she could not find the impossibility - as Medaka said, she could never lose, there nothing she could not do? It is a part of her motivation until now.

And why did the author say now that she has been losing this man for how long? There's something you could not do here, Ashinin-san, there's someone you cannot beat. So why do you have to find the impossibility or whatever it is? Isn't it a big contradiction to how Ashinin-san has always been portrayed until now?
True, she was sealed by Kumagawa, but it does not take long and it is implied that Kumagawa has sealed her due to her carelessness, rather that his raw power. I doubted she viewed it as a loss, and she has reason not to. But this guy has beaten her for thousands of time or so, it's proved that she could not beat him even though she wished to. I am surprised. Because that kind of humilation should have taught her the fact that she is not invincible, she is not a god, she could not do whatever she wants. Therefore that godlike complex, that mental problem the author says that she has (thinking the universe is fake because everything is just so unnaturally easy for her) should not have any reason or logic to exist.

I know that she is not invincible, heck it would be very boring for her to be so. But for her to be offed that fast, and that little history between her and the new guy is just like turning her characterization until now upside down.

From the sound of it, it seems she started looking for her impossibility after she lost to Iihiko after having achieved another goal that she had at that time. Her goal to find an impossibility was impeded by having to beat Iihiko or rather, people like him however it was proved possible when she had Zenkichi beat Medaka. Iihiko and Medaka were people of similar ilk. She can't beat Iihiko in battle, much like she wouldn't be able to beat Medaka in battle, which is why she decided to beat Medaka through different methods.

I myself also did not think that is it much of a deconstruction. It likes to turn several fighting and shonen tropes around, but overall it still plays its cards very safely. It has somewhat an identity crisis, really. I think the "trolling" and stuff that the author writes are more for taking his audience aback than wanting to make some statement.

Well, since Iihiko's power is doing damnge that cannot be reversed, and he is still human, in theory, Ooudo's abnormality could subdue him. That has been mentioned, but who knows, maybe it's true.

considering it again, wasnt akune nicknamed as the "destroyer" before being reformed? perhaps he might become relevant again by giving quite a challenge to iihiko. I think last carpet is on to something...

Akune couldn't 'destroy' Medaka, what makes you think that he stands a chance against Iihiko?

Actually, this sounds rather intriguing. I'd be amused if one after another all those people that we saw at the student council election all show up, and they start trying to help and all start to remember Shiranui?
