----------------------------------------


Nice fight. That guy is pretty damn fast imo, or maybe it's something else. I was rooting for Medaka-chan this entire episode especially when she started using Unzen's super balls.

But damn, that Kurokami Phantom ability was sick. What a boss.

A lot of nice action in this episode. Intense!

Medaka's Kurokami Phantom is wicked but it sure drains a ton of energy.

I stand by my previous thought, Medaka is too overpowered for me to enjoy her fights. She always wins so what's the point in watching?

Besides which....I read the manga so I know how the fights will play out.

Zenkichi vs Kei will be a much better fight.

Really? I actually enjoyed this particular medaka fight, because it was one of the few fights that were believable and actually had Medaka being pushed back and beaten badly. (In contrast with most of her other fights which have her bulldoze through her opponents like they were made of cheap paper)

Maybe it's just because I've read the manga and I've seen the more pronounced form of what Medaka is capable of. Because of it, just about any fight seems more interesting and believable than one with Medaka in it.

As time passes you'll see just how overpowered she is, it's why I can't enjoy her fights. As powerful as Goku was in DBZ, even his fights were more interesting because they actually showed a physical struggle to get to where he needed to be. The fact is, nothing that Medaka goes through will last. Her shtick is always overcoming her obstacles, but with almost no effort behind it.

Where's the fun in a hero who wins 24/7, and doesn't know what it means to try hard but fail.

I lol'd when she did her phantom move because it reminds of the times when the sound goes out of sync with the video when it isn't intentional. That is always very annoying.

AMAZING, I enjoyed this fight way more in the anime then I did in the manga. Gainax is doing a great job so far.

The next fight should be awesome, Zenkichi always has the best fights.

we had medaka cena vs a person is auto pilot jet can't be touch?

well give from medaka phantom, to bare foot medaka unleash, showing quick flashback showing auto pilot jet guy past include survive car crash but not his family.

to lead fist to fist end up medaka cena having auto pilot jet's head kick in & now next level to face a mass murder person.

Great Adaptation. They flashed for a bit Takachiho's past, but it wasn't that interesting, so it's ok. They have to do the next one better though, or it's going to be a great loss.

Looking Forward to Zenkichi vs. Munakata and to

Awesome fight. Although it does bring up the question of how many abilities does Medeka have? She's like a god among men. If the spoilers are any indication of where this is headed, there are a couple of good fights ahead.

I can answer that "how many abilities does Medaka have" if you want.



I'm very pleased with this episode. I thought it'd be much worst than that but I actually enjoyed it.
Now if they can animate the whole manga with that quality, I'll be a very happy man.

Quick skim and I didn't see any. This episode is for the discussion of the episode, so whatever happened this episode isn't a spoiler. If you entered this thread on your own accord without watching the episode, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Anyways, this was a pretty fun episode. Normally you'd hate this much discussion in the middle of a fight in anime but I can say I enjoy them in this series. Can't wait for the next fight, I'd say it was my favorite of this arc.

Yeah, saying who's going to fight next episode is a bit spoily, even if it could be deduced from the preview. But it is true that the next episode is going to kick ass. The first fight, however impressive, was still the weakest of the arc.

My three cents for the Medaka's overpoweredness discussion.
I hear you, I can see where you're coming from, I don't exactly agree.
If it's intense and interesting, I think her battles are as good as others'. Because it doesn't really matter if it's Medaka fighting or somebody else - you always assume the "good guys" are going to win, I mean we can't have villains be ultimately victorious. There are many ways to avoid it getting a boring rule and they do use it often in Medaka Box - with Medaka as the one fighting too. I read the manga and I remember many times she lost and needed help or another try after that.
But yeah, I don't think she's exactly "likeable". There's a lot of better characters all over the place, still, she doesn't bother me.

I wish Takachiho fight was longer with that kind of ability he really should be untouchable. I really like his ability though probably my favorite.

Exactly. I can look past her OP if she would at least lose once in a while I think that's why everyone likes Zenkichi's fights

Felt sorry for the reflex guy during his flashback.

Medaka-chan is OP to the awesome.

I wonder if Mogana can even fight, if so, I wonder what style she uses. Hopefully there'll be on

That was a really entertaining fight. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

But now I want to see the rest of the group get fights as well and judging by the preview it might be Zenkichi's turn next.

This was an entertaining episode. Since I haven't read the manga, I feel that I am able to enjoy the anime that much more because I don't feel that Medaka is so much OP compared to last season. What I am looking forward to is seeing the results of Zenkichi's training. I wish the other characters had a more active physical role against the antagonists.
