Spoiler for fight:

Kumagawa's part isn't over yet. His and Ajimu's message weren't shown. So now I'm wondering if they're going to show a backflash of the fight or something like that.

The message was shown. It's exactly what it says in the spoilers. It's just that the translator wouldn't be bothered(rightly so) to translate all the character quotes when they were 4 pages of the same thing.

Spoiler for message:

So that means Kumagawa's message was also the same as the others?So that's why it wasnt shown? But she lined them up before they fought and I think the translater pointed out that Kumagawa's and Ajimu's message werent revealed.

That's basically it. Which is why there was no need to beat anything off of him.

Spoiler:

That explains her message but dont you think he had something to say also especially since they didnt show his fight. Or am i thinking too much into it.

[Homura7]

That's my Nisio! Trolling like no one else does

I don't know. Maybe. Certainly possible, given that I'm stunned by the juke from Ajimu and Kumagawa(boy is Sol Falling going to be upset), but if there was something, it was another completely unrelated message, probably.

[Lupus753]

I'd just like to say, "THAT'S OUR NISIO!"

[laugh track]

[iris out]

...

I guess I was right that Nisio pulled an April Fools' gag. Go me! No one can convince me otherwise of this insane theory!

[first joke was stolen from tfwiki.com; I am ashamed of myself]

[Insert_Gel]

Oh boy. Sol falling will be disappointed. He is waiting for medaka to show her love to Kumagawa tsk

[Homura7]

So how does this translate to the series ending?

Spoiler for spoiler:

after Medaka just became the new chairman.

Just saying.

It sounds dumb, but then again I thought the spoilers for the "Medaka destroys the moon and disappears forever" chapter sounded retarded too. I'll wait for the scanlation before deciding anything.

Until Zen and Medaka are shown getting married there is no reason why he cant keep shipping Kumagawa and Medaka. I could care less for either of those pairings though.

While it may sound dumb I think the last 3 chapter spoilers have been really close to the scanlation but that doesn't mean chapter 191 can't surprise us. I'm expecting a Kumagawa and Ajimu return.

^ I'm so amused by Nisio's trolling. It's so ridiculous..

[novalysis]

Isn't Medaka Box meant to be Nisio's attempt to troll the entirety of Shounen Jump, and the whole genre of Shounen manga?

Trolling? I suspect that Nisio is simply an incompetent writer.

Yes, and some still haven't noticed *looks at post above mine and laughs out loud*

[Lupus753]

Authors like Tite Kubo, Andrew Hussie, or Nisio Isin do not write badly. They troll, which looks exactly the same as bad writing. Fanbases have told me so. This belief cannot be wrong.

[kazzuya13]

There are alot of "those" type of manga.

[Tenchi Hou Take]

As much as I would like to think he's just trolling the entire time his inability to write a decent climax in this entire manga just screams incompetance. It's one thing to deconstruct, but when the end result is worse that what your mocking at some point you most wonder whats the point.

This is not to say Medaka is overalll worse than your typical bad shounens, but at some points it really is a lot worse.
