It's the "new" Medaka! I don't like it much but she does look badass.

Some fights and emotional talk. Heh, Medaka's cute when she was little with Zenkichi. I think Medaka might be going back to herself there at the end also. Well done, Zenkichi :p

Dat tears of Medaka:

You can't brainwashed Zenkichi & Medaka bonds that easy, it's all good to know that it thanks to Zenkichi that she become the person she is now.
She would probably end up like a emotion less machine without meeting Zenkichi.

Yeah she is indeed cute. Hehe :D

This ep just reminded me of how Stupidly OP Medaka is.
Also...Zenkichi was BA...totally! :)

Man... "What's the purpose?"
These grown-ups are missing the point.
Humans are born with no purpose, live for no reason, and die for nothing.
Wouldn't you agree?
Uh... Medaka-chan?
I'm sure you were brought here after ruining many lives.
There's nothing wrong with that.
You and I are allowed to do whatever we want.
Because this world is pointless.
And our lives are aimless.

How much more Minus can you become

Nice ep.
But I really think the season goes a little too fast!

But it did.
Medaka didn't return to normal because their bond is powerful or because of the power of love or any other retarded reason.
The reason she returned to herself is because Hitoyoshi truly believe that Medaka was born to make others happy and since she also possesses Yukuhashi's ability she was moved and started to believe it again.

Medaka looks soo badass when she's brainwashed, but it was good and a little touching how Zenkichi helped Medaka come to her senses again and to get some backstory on how they first met. Awesome episode anyway, can't wait until next week.

I want to know why did Medaka said that she didn't see Kumagawa again? because if you remember S01E11 they showed us the memory when Medaka and Kumagawa were in mid-school, when she tried to stop him but she couldn't and used force to remove Kumagawa from school.

but their bond is what returned her to normal. if they didn't have a bond then she would have felt nothing from yukuhashi's ability.

hitoyoshi truly believing medaka was born to make others happy is a bond as well.

He was in the nursery section............why are children usually in the nursery section??? Their parents usually leave them there to play while they work.

That's not said. Megumi Ogata, Seiyuu of Kumagawa, said: "Please buy the BDs i want S3" So there is no telling if there will be a S3. All what left to do is wait for episode 11 and 12. But episode 12 is filler...

Also, this is not the voice I've imgagine all the time for Kumagawa. A woman trying sounds deep because speeking a evil boy, and also high because this evil boy still's a shota. Dosen't sounds right for me.

Maybe she don't know that the kid she met when she was 3 years old was Kumagawa, she thought that he was just some nameless kid.

Words + 2 abnormalities. (Yukuhashi's empathy/mind reading, and Oudo's EMP waves/brainswashing skill)

Dang, people, shut up! Yes, Kumagawa appears in this episode, big deal - and apparently they do nothing to reflect the brackets in his speech. Sure, we have subtitles to do it ourselves, but I'm still disappointed.

Also, I hoped for a sneak peek at

but oh well.

Also, what's with that line "This was the last time I saw that boy"? It totally wasn't! Sure, they probably mean to suggest Medaka didn't recognize Kumagawa when they... "met" in middle school, but heck, the boy had a name tag and she had a perfect memory.

They did all that in just one episode, huh. Leaves me wondering what they're going to fill the remaining two with.

I was wondering the same thing, but then again he wasn't being observed by a doctor or such when Medaka came barging in the room. So maybe that was just a waiting room for children? Still the situation is kind of fishy. Maybe he is an abnormal even though they specifically said throughout this series that he was perfectly normal.

This episode was really good. My expectations were low because I expected a far more cliche ep, but it was ok. I love the flackbacks to their childhood time. Now we understand why the relatonship between Medaka and Zenkichi is so strong.

Btw do the manga readers suggest picking up the manga for this series? If there is alot of information and scenes left out in the anime, then I will most likely pick up the manga. But I don't know if that is the case or not.
