You know, I've been thinking. What if a final villain was defeated by every hero fighting together and overwhelming him. That would tie in perfectly with typical Shonen values of friendship and teamwork.
But you never see it. It's always main villain versus main hero, no one else. I just think that undermines the message of teamwork that many of these manga try to evoke. This was just an errant thought that crossed my mind and grew in it when I saw Medaka's body vibrations push Zenkichi away. |

Can you imagine how awesome a full-lenght, tag-team fight of Kumagawa + Zenkichi vs Iihiko would be? The manga would implode from sheer awesome.

But if you guys want to call it a difference of opinion, that's great. Just don't be passive-agressive about it.

I think it's fine for people to expouse their dislike of a character. But no-one here ever looked down on you or anything, or even addressed any possible Medaka fans. You must be assuming that they are, because they dislike the character. You're the one whose doing that. People talking about why they hate the character dosen't mean that they are looking down on you. It just means they have different taste. The equivalent would be you talking about how awesome a character Medaka is and why you liked her, but I never see anyone talking about that, all I see you talking about is the people who talk about Medaka. Careful, though, that's what you're doing. This isn't a statement you should throw around loosely, mind you.

Even then, though, people will always think of their own opinions as better. That's just natural and inescapable. I do think that the manga would've been far better without Medaka, but I realize that's just the taste of one group. Quote:
Of course, as long as it's talking about the manga. Thanks! I really appreciate that.

perhaps negi if you reverse his worrying to medaka's confidence, somewhat plausible. but eva really? aside from being OP(though medaka's more on just luck than power), they're pretty different. |

Which makes sense, since the reason Iihiko was more powerful is because he was a more heroic main-character than Medaka, because that's what matters when two main characters fight, and when it all comes down to who fate will help win the battle, in the Medaka Box world. I guess this is Nishio's way of telling us that Medaka's become...as heroic as past Iihiko? Sounds silly, but hey, I guess that's how fate rolls on the streets of Medaka Box.

Also, does this mean that the master of the paradox manipulation Style; Contradictory Conjunction, Nienami Namanie, was absolutely wrong in warning Medaka that she was using styles incorrectly?
If so, screw you for rendering one of the best girls in this manga superfluous, Nishio.

If the manga continues after this arc I guarantee you that Iihiko will start attending Hakoniwa Academy. Quote:
