Breaking the sound barrier. I actually like that it talked about that.

I know all of this has happen, but when it's over and Madoka is still standing, will she finally be able to get healed. I mean after all Kumagawa won't be able to do anything with his All Fiction because now that minus only works for three minutes and then whatever he erased will come back.

Kumagawa's 3 minute rule only applies when he combines it with unskilled.

But it won't work either way. The damage Iihiko deals to the world never recovers and he just freaking possessed Shiranui's body. We don't know whether his powers are his own or if it comes from the bodies of those his possessed.

Maybe if the previous body gets destroyed it could be reversed, but since Anshin'in powers are still active after her death, its hard to speculate.

i'm too lost into the meta view of this manga to follow what they're actually saying, for me it was something like this:

bore the reader to death with prolonged talks during an otherwise "instant" action movement
+
twist in the last 2 pages
well done nisio xD

I wanted Shiranui to actually do something in this arc. I guess I had my wish somewhat fulfilled and it's something to be happy about. That last panel was such an amazing plot twist.

The only thing that was unexpected is Iihiko taking over Shiranui's body so soon. :(

That was so FRESH! Best plot twist I've seen in a while... I was really dumbfounded! xD

It was awesome. She curved Kurokami Phantom and dealt a lethal blow to Iihiko from behind. And Medaka with long black hair really makes her way more beautiful!

I wonder how will this go from here...

Shiranui simply did the job she was assigned to do, succeed Iihiko. That means having to adopt his speech and mannerisms as well. For all intents and purposes she is Iihiko.

Interesting chapter. Interesting.
While I did not predict exactly what was gonna happen, I knew Iihiko wouldn't be defeated that easily, especially the type of character his presented to be as through out this whole arc. Well, looking forward to seeing whats going to happen next.

Blah, blah, blah, Medaka pulls a win out of her ass...HOLY SHIT, Iihiko just pulled a body transfer.

Well, now Medaka is pretty screwed since the damage she just sustained is not going to heal.

Iihiko must be a lot less stronger than before. Zenkichi didn't do anything at all. It's time for him to die- to shine.

Wow, those twist just keep coming. I thought it was Shiranui herself for a moment (I'd be alright with it), but I guess she's now Iihiko... Either way, it's just incredible. What's gonna happen now? Medaka can't just keep circulating her blood with a hole in her body...

Gotta say, I don't really like Iihiko. The previous villains, even with mad powers, were cunning and scheming. This one is just brutal strength and while the good guys need to think up many ways to beat him, he just stands there, doing almost nothing. Even his backstory, while kinda sad, doesn't help. But I guess Medaka Box villains are all different, so one like this is alright as well.

I liked how that one line in the last chapter foreshadowed Medaka's attack "I believe if I took the lead others would follow.

What I like about this manga is that it manages to be both insane and logical AT THE SAME TIME

At first when Shiranui stabbed Medaka I thought it was really her and that we were being trolled to the extreme, but then it showed that it was really Iihiko so that makes much more sense.

So the feelings she displayed after being defeated by Kumagawa were yet another lie? Nah, i don't believe that. Doesn't make any sense.

What i don't get is how did Iihiko "possess" Hansode. It was confirmed by Hanten back in chapter 166 that current Iihiko is not real one and his doubles from Shiranui village have been taking turns playing the role of Iihiko for thousands of years now. So i see no way for Hansode to suddenly turn into Iihiko against her will. Either i'm missing some crucial detail here or the writing have really been getting sloppy in this arc.

Her feelings were most definitely not an act.

The problem is that generations of Doubles have been conditioned into being mediums for a living message whose power ignores the narrative--sorry, the logic of the world.

It's just just a matter of imitating his appearance and speech patterns. Iihiko's very consciousness and memory has been passed down for thousands of years. This consciousness believed he could force the process, and with the power of Shishime Iihiko, this belief was reality.

At this point, he's not that much different from being a Style himself. Further necessitating the usage of a Style to communicate a real threat to him.
