* In a meta-example, there's something inexplicably heartwarming about Kumagawa's total and complete victory in the second character poll. Seeing him cry tears of happiness at finally winning for once (and, one assumes, for [[HadakaApron other things]]) is rather touching.
** What truly makes it heartwarming is that this is a character who has never fairly won anything in his life. Ever. And has never had anyone really like him for who he is who wasn't a minus. Ever. And he won a popularity contest. Against the main characters of the series. And he didn't just win, he dominated to the point that he got more votes than the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th runners up. COMBINED. When Kumagawa declared his true intentions, he ended it with saying "I want to prove that I'm better than the main characters!" You are, Kumagawa. You are.
*** And then he did it again with the third character poll, with Akuna and Zenkichi coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

A satisfying ending to a manga that was certainly different from Shonen Jump standards.

Added the details of chapters 50-54.

Added DiffLines:

* The whole fight between Medaka II and Zenkichi, can also be considered a crowning moment of awesome for Zenkichi, and the last nail that made the relationship blatant and obvious for everyone in-universe.
** Doubled with a flashback that shows what is Zenkichi to Medaka.
*** Even though the same ne makes you wonder how such a sweet kid ended up being Zenkichi.
*** And of course the fact that Medaka made Zenkichi's words her life motto TWICE. And then again by how Zenkichi admits that he doesn't remember the events of 13 years ago (who would blame him) but has never changed how he thinks of Medaka from that day forwards.

Well, let's just say it's this one," and then shoots the star out of the sky with a FingerGun. In effect, she's encouraging him not to let the idea of being a Minus hold him back, and to go for victory and happiness.
