Kumagawa! Finally I get to hear that amazing son of a gun! Hopefully they'll announce the third season at the end of next week's episode.

That whole scene on the 13th floor was fantastic. Oujo was actually pretty cool afterall and man was it weird to see him apoligizing like that. That thing inside Medaka must be some serious scary shit to make him do that. And I didn't expect Kujira to change that suddenly, well that was nice. I love how awesome Medaka looks with that black hair.

That ending... what the fucking hell :O. So this is the highly anticipated Kumagawa.

Have the say the art and animation was really top notch in this anime. The perfect way to end the fight between a king and a monster with a simple "sorry".

And whoa Kumagawa introduction gave me huge goosebumps. Surprise that kid with an innocent face like that could do so such damage.

Hopefully there would be a 3rd season , even within the PV for the next episode it feels like theirs going to be a 3rd season because of how Kumagawa is having his debut right at the end.

I know I'm probably like the only person who is glad Kumagawa had so little screen time. The VA uses an...overly gay tone that simply irks me to no end. The episode itself was pretty entertaining 4/5.

I guess I'm one of the people who isn't very satisfied with Kuma's voice. I expected him to sound more maniacal or much more troll-sounding but this voice just seems a bit disappointing for me. Hopefully I'm proven wrong after a 3rd season.

Then your expectations were a little wrong. While talking in brackets, Kumagawa most likes doesn't HAVE emotions.

Medaka in Altered God Mode looks AMAZING!

My eyes were wide opened when they were taking the elevators going back to the first floor. I caught up with the manga, so I know what I was expecting when the door opened.

The only flaw in this was the voice over choice for Kumagawa Misogi... I was expecting more of a childish and more playful type of voice over considering how his personality is in the manga... I just can't picture him with this voice over... Worst choice. D:

They're kind of hard questions to answer.

The answer to the second question is something to do with Jungian psychology and only makes sense with a satirical reading while judging from context Yumekichi11 is attempting a straight reading.

So the first one means they still have a chance in the series to come back? Some these characters hold lot of value for people especially the kid and his sister whom talks weird.

Well for the second one you mean the lady is a creation of Medaka's DNA/Brain only? That would be insanely crazy. A person that can Mind/Thinking create such a abomination is beyond me.

Medaka from this episode is Peter Petrelli with a boost on any skills she acquires.

Honestly at this point I'd say don't hold your breath for a third season. While it wouldn't make sense to stop the series when the introduction of the next main antagonist just came along, Gainax is INFAMOUS for it's cliffhangers. Most recently Panty and Stocking where they just plain stopped after the whole "Stocking was a demon all along" incident and they've made no plans for a sequel whatsoever.

So yeah, I'd say keep expectations low and just enjoy this one Kumagawa episode to the fullest. We likely won't be seeing another unless Gainax has given up it's trolling ways (Which I doubt it has.)

Just know this, what was shown in this episode is only the tip of Medaka's Abnormality , Peter Petrelli pales in comparison. S4 will explore more on that. And the manga is still ongoing, the demon thing inside Medaka may be a future arc, perhaps even the final one.

Really? I think the voice fits his character perfectly. Despite his mindset the whole premise of Kumagawa is that he's this frail, weak, pathetic, wimpy loser who looks as though he couldn't harm a fly, much less prove to be any kind of threat. So in that respect I can't think of any seiyuu that would have done him more justice than the one who voiced Shinji Ikari

To me it seems like a lot of people are misunderstanding that scene.
There is no demon inside Medaka, we're not in Naruto.

An abnormality define a person, it's highly linked to one's personality.
When Oudo steal an abnormality, he does so by stealing their personalities.

When he tried to steal Medaka's the end he "understood" Medaka, that is he took in her true personality even for a moment. That second Medaka inside of her is pretty much her personality's incarnation, the form of Medaka's heart.

The way she sees the world, the extent of her capabilities, how she believes that life has no meaning, how everything is meaningless, how the world exist solely for her.
He had to take in all these feeling, all that darkness that's in Medaka's heart
everyday.

Medaka has Hitoyoshi and his word that are carved into her soul, Oudo doesn't.
He's reduced to how Medaka saw the world before she met Hitoyoshi, when she was in the darkness before she was given a reason to exist.

He couldn't take it, it was too much for him, he got scared of real darkness. How he sees the world is being reduced to normal compared to Medaka. He thought he was king, he thought a lot of thing but all those were reduced to nothing, he started to feel like there was no purpose in existing, how meaningless everything he put so much effort was. It's not a personality anyone but Medaka could live with.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't look like there is a demon inside Medaka.


For people like me who are still resisting Nisio Isin because we don't agree with his premise there is still a tiny bit of wriggle room for a straight reading. And this is intentional because the satire will become more explicit later on. The longer we can keep this false reading up the bigger the impact when our reading completely falls apart.
So in spite being wrong, at this stage in the story we're are allowed to be wrong.
(Although admittedly that only works if we are reading on from this stage.)

It's not a personality anyone but Medaka could live with.
So essentially Oudo not having a Support Pillar cannot handle Medaka's state and nor would she if at that point she did not meet the one who acts as a support pillar.

I see your way of looking at it and it still is debatable over the Evil God theorem along with remaining to see what of this element.

I will take your simple way of seeing cause it seems less confusing but eventually by seeing more I might have more ideals over what this strange female/Ringu like Sadako is.

Ending was beautiful, so reminiscent of the last season and its a boss who ironically met the same end this episode as how we first saw his victims. Just grandeur, I love the quick emotion shift.

O and I'm pretty sure (for those wondering who the black hair kid is), he's from the first season or well mentioned in it. Its fuzzy and I only watched the anime but I think he's the guy who killed a girl which Medaka walked in on and went War God mode . As I end this message, I feel I'm wrong because I didn't see giant screws or at least, don't recall.

Fuuck the whole series, lame ass ending, OP as fuuck Medaka, and so much plot shield + ass pull. Here comes Kumagawa! Best part of the series, "It's not my fault" LOL It's clearly your fault -.-

Edit: It's so lame how the sister Kujira begged for help, her characters contradict with itself, very much. How Oudo lost is also lame as fuuck, a king turned into a chicken in seconds, where is his pride? Where is his ego? Lame characterization.

Medaka Box has typically been a series that despite my better judgement I've managed to enjoy thoroughly enough. I mean, it contains a lot of things I generally dislike/hate in story-telling but somehow it normally entertained me, much more than it should of. This time was abnormal. I really, really disliked this episode . . .

Then Kumagawa appeared. Yeah, I don't know what else to say, I can't wait to see more of this guy after the tremendous amount of hype for him & the pretty damn good job the series has done of building him up to this point.
