@Sol Falling:
See, I don't agree. How are we supposed to tell the difference between the author's opinion and the opinion of his characters (especially at this juncture)?
This chapter felt more like the former than anything else, which is why I'm so pissed-off.
You could argue that no sane person would truly view Medaka's actions here as worthy of condemnation, but this is the guy who wrote several books about how victims of bullying and parental abuse are responsible for their own misery, so...

You use context.

You realize the only people calling Medaka a monster in universe this chapter are monsters themselves? That's supposed to tell you something.

Again, I ask, where on Earth do you get this from?

I think this chapter smelled like ending of "shin angyo onshi" which is a great korean masterpiece superior to most mangas we usually read so i think author made this chapter by the inspiration he got from its ending cause exact same thing happened there .

@Kaisos: i am going to assume you simply misinterpreted a message from one of his works. Any other thought would lead to horror that anyone could actually say something so heartless.

@Endscape: As I said before, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between author soapboxes and characters' opinions. Sometimes, the author has villains and jerks say the author's viewpoint. Occasionally, it's to say, "Hey, if THIS guy can see the obvious..." or maybe the author doesn't consider it important. In any case, it's hard to see if we're supposed to agree with those two.

I read their lines this chapter (that is, about how continuing to struggle even after losing everything that you value makes you no longer human) as the author commenting on the situation.
Given the context, I have difficulty seeing it as just their opinions.

Of course he has. Judging from an earlier comment, I know what he's talking about, and he's completely wrong.

As I said, that's where context comes in. Who is saying what? Who are they saying it to? What is their reasoning for saying it? In what situation did they say it?

Exactly.

Firstly, Medaka hasn't lost absolutely everything yet. She still trying to rescue Shiranui, who she believes is still in there somewhere.

Secondly, look at who's talking here. Iihiko, who has already lost everything and Kotobuki and Kakegae, who can throw away anything, can't understand how Medaka can risk everything for the sake of something important to her.

Then we have Nienami, who comes in and clearly says that it's because they can't understand, that they lost.

Nisio makes it pretty clear that it's just their opinion and that he disagrees with it.

That was actually far, far better than I was expecting, but...
Is Nienami really Ajimu, or not? It's like they both confirmed and denied it at the same time.

Maybe it's I'm (I forget her first name) Nienami "Therefore" I'm also Ajimu...

I'm kidding but bit could happen.

Actually, I wonder if defeating Iihiko means that on some level you become Iihiko. Hanten'in said something about that.

Yep, that's right. Hanten hinted at that whoever by some miracle defeats Iihiko will become an even more rarer item and for that same reason will be forced to stay in the Shiranui village forever. Hence why it should be only Shiranui who brings him down once and for all.

I don't know if this will the last arc, but man, the climax is just the best, you can feel the atmosphere, the destruction, and the carnage Iihiko laid down. Kumagawa is dead, Tsurubami is dead, Joutou is about to die, Kakegae has received a fatal wound... Even the unbeatable monster, Medaka, died.
