Line #110 WMG/MedakaBox


1	'''All spoilers are unmarked!'''

3	[[WMG: Kumagawa's abnormality isn't healing]]
4	Much like the ex-presidents invisability, healing is a side effect of his true, terrible abnormality. I have no idea what that is but I do know that it is terrible because Medaka already has it. That was what Oudo found when he tried to use his Unreasonable Taxation on her. Just like whenever Kumagawa attacks someone, his arm was horribly damaged, then instantly repaired, the only real damage mental. She obtained it three years ago when they last met, perfected it, then realized the utter wrongness of it and immedietly repressed it.
5	* Confirmed.
6	* In chapter 70 he downright states that his power could destroy the world, if he doesn´t pay attention.
7
8	[[WMG: Kumagawa is actually a SplitPersonality of Zenkichi]]
9	No real reason, really. It would just be hilarious if her biggest follower and the one guy she couldn't help/control were the same person.
10
11	[[WMG: Kumagawa is reformed and will become the Vice President INSTEAD of Zenkichi being promoted]]
12	* Kumagawa will also win Medaka's heart. Zenkichi will become an UnluckyChildhoodFriend. At least he has the miser for backup.
13	* Confirmed, by chapter 92. Well, the part about Kumabawa becoming Vice President, anyway. No news about the other part yet.
14	** Could possibly be Zenkichi's reason for wanting Kumagawa's arm band.
15
16	[[WMG: Medaka is a HumanoidAbomination[=/=]EldritchAbomination in a human shell]]
17	After what was revealed about Medaka's inner self in chapter 55 and the severe CreepyChild vibes she had in the flashback, it is reasonable to think that she's ''something else'' playing at being human with varying success. It'd explain her GodModeSue ability to bend reality (Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad). Whether she actively knows this is another matter.
18	->'''Medaka (Chapter 55):'''Within a beast like me in an abnormality that a [[GoMadFromTheRevelation human cannot withstand]].
19	* Well, [[MeaningfulName "Kurokami" means "Dark God"!]]
20	** If we take a seeming joke from episode 2 as not a joke, then this is confirmed (and knowing Nisioi, it is). When the dog sees Medaka, an image of a big demon can be seen behind her. While this was PlayedForLaughs (mostly), the demon is supposed to represent how the dog sees Medaka. In other words? That demon is ''[[SealedEvilInACan the Dark God itself]]''!!
21
22	[[WMG: Zenkichi is a Normal]]
23	One that is ''so'' Normal he can deal with the sheer insanity of all of the Abnormals and Minuses running around, which manifests as his willingness to befriend them as equals and apparent resistance to certain abilities. Or maybe it's because he's been hanging around Medaka, an Abnormal compared to other Abnormals, for so long that everything else is easy to deal with by comparison.
24	* Think about the number line. The Abnormals are the super positive, while the Minuses are the super negative. Right smack in the middle of them? Yeah, Zenkichi could be the ''[[FridgeBrilliance zero]]'', neither positive nor negative. (Ok, that sounded better in my head.)
25	* I agree with you on the 'Normal' part. But he is not right smack Normal. I'm more of the opinion that he is a 'special' Normal, in that he is BOTH super positive and super negative at the same time, leading to others thinking/feeling that he is a 'Normal'. Otherwise, its kind of hard to explain the door incident when it switched back to his DOB when he tried to enter...
26	* Further expansion of this theory is that he could keep up with Medaka's power leveling, be one of the first to meet the minuses, etc. Why is that so? Either he has abnormal luck, in which case, he would be list either an abnormal or a minus, or he's what I'm guessing: At the same time an Abnormal and a Minus, so everyone can only understand him as a Normal, when he is actually Normal, because he is 'Abnormal/Minus' to the extreme.
27	* How exactly is he an Abnormal and a Minus at the same time, though? Especially since being a Minus/Abnormal seems to depend a lot on personality. For example, Munakata's power is basically the urge to kill, which is technically a minus, yet he's an Abnormal. Kumagawa can heal, but he's so damn evil he's a Minus. How does Zenkichi emulate superpositive and supernegative at the same time?
28	** Sidenote: All Pluses and Minuses are classified as Abnormals. Plus/Minus is a sub-catagory.
29
30	[[WMG: Zenkichi is a Zero.]]
31	Based on the math theory going on -- the Mary Sues are "13", the Anti Sues are "-13"... and Zenkichi has shown he's more or less immune to both's abnormalities. Following the math, this would make Zenkichi a ''Zero'' -- a null.
32	* He may be a "neutral", in that he neutralizes abnormal powers. He might even be able to touch Mukae's hand without it rotting him.
33	** Confirmed. He starts out as a normal but then becomes a zer0 later on after acquiring the skill devil style which nullifies plot armor from Hanten.
34
35	[[WMG: Zenkichi's abnormality/minus (if he has one anyway) was sealed away by his mother.]]
36
37	[[WMG: After chapter 70 Zenkichi will become TheDreaded for Kumagawa!]]
38
39	[[WMG: Someone else gave Kumagawa his "All-fiction" Minus]]
40	It's been confirmed that Kumagawa didn't have that power when Medaka beat the crap out of him in middle school. It's possible someone else gave him the ability a few years ago, and is the real BigBad of the series. The idea of someone running around creating Anti Sues with the power to destroy the world ForTheEvulz is pretty creepy.
41	* Confirmed. It was Ajimi.
42
43	[[WMG: Zenkich has AntiMagic]]
44	There are a few hints that Zenkichi may not quite be the Normal that he seems, and that his abnormality may be the ability to resist/keep up with ''some'' Abnormals. He's certainly been shown to resist a lot of powers, it takes a combat abnormality or a natural phenomenon (explosions, poison gas, etc.) to take him out, usually. He even resists syringes made by an abnormal when fighting Medaka II!
45	* And he can remember Hinokage!
46	* FridgeBrilliance: Why can Zenkichi fight back against Oudo's [[PeoplePuppet body control]] command to kneel, despite being a BadAssNormal? He's a [[PowerNullifier Zero]] -- an anti-abnormal, of course. How can Medaka do the same thing? She copied Zenkichi's abnormality, of course. How is Medaka going to fight against the -13 class? With the same powers, of course.
47
48	[[WMG: Zenkichi's original ability was Live Zero]]
49	Going on the above theories, and the name of one of Ajimu's skills. Maybe Zenkichi's original ability was Live Zero?
50
51	[[WMG: Ajimi is a personification of the [[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Void]]]]
52	Yeah, there is another one!
53
54	[[WMG: Zenkichi is a Youkai]]
55	All of the youkai in ''Manga/NuraRiseOfTheYokaiClan'' have the same two colored hair that Zenkichi does, so maybe his ridiculous ability to not die comes not from hard work, but from being a youkai. I mean, what Normal could survive being impaled in the back by seven or eight weapons?
56
57	[[WMG: Shiranui is an {{Emotion Eater}}]]
58	One page states that she "swallows" people. This might be hinting to her ability to eat emotions especially negative emotions since she also states that Zenkichi is too sweet to swallow. There is also the {{Big Eater}} aspect of her character.
59	* Chapter 85 reveals the name of Shiranui's abnormality is "Real Eater", the actual effects of her "eating" Hinokage has yet to be determined.
60	** Add this theory with how it's said that the personality shapes the ability, considering how Hinokage's Mister Unknown becomes Theme Song, maybe her skill can manipulate somebody such that the skill would change.
61	** Well actually, it seems to run in the family. She can, in a similar way to Ajimu, trade someone's ability with another one.
62	** Partly confirmed in chapter 179 where it's revealed that "Real Eater" is a skill that alters other skills and and in the process also rewrites a persons personality. It's more appropriate to call her a "Personality Eater".
63
64	[[WMG: The actual Medaka is a dream and the dreamer is Zenkichi.]]
65	Idea behind this is the meaning of the MagicalGirlfriend trope. The MagicalGirlfriend is basically an imaginary friend, who are often more "perfect" than the child, who creates them, and always leading the child into new adventures, like Medaka did with the young Zenkichi.
66
67	When Zenkichi and Medaka met each other the first time, Medaka possessed no personality and Zenkichi was in an age, where children start to create this imaginary friends. Somehow, Medaka adopted Zenkichi´s idea of his "perfect" friend and became it! This is why Medaka is so idealistic: She is an ideal herself, a personification of Zenkichi´s own dreams as child. While Zenkichi grew up and start to saw the flaws of his ideals (and became a little cynic), Medaka kept her sometimes childish naive personality. Still, she is dependent on Zenkichi, as we see by her complete breakdown, whenever Zenkichi was close to death.
68
69	That´s said, it is not Zenkichi, who protects Medaka´s ideals. MEDAKA is the true guardian, always trying to uphold the ideals, even Zenkichi became to doubt, which allows Zenkichi to develop an realistic, but still optimistic view on the world.
70
71	[[WMG: Gagamaru didn't always have Encounter]]
72	During the fight with Shibuki, when she uses her Scar Dead on everyone, Gagamaru is hurt too. With his ability, though, he should never have gotten hurt in his life. Therefore, in his childhood, he must not have had Encounter yet and it may have developed from his desire to push away all of the "unexpected accidents" in his life.
73	* He actually did have Encounter when he was a kid - at least, by the time he met Shibuki.
74	* He probably did always have it, it just wasn't developed enough yet for him to control.
75
76	[[WMG: Ajimi]]
77	will become the next BigBad.
78	* could possibly be a GreaterScopeVillain
79
80	[[WMG: Ajimi is LonelyAtTheTop]]
81	Her entire motivation for starting the Flask Plan in the first place may have been simply to create other beings on her level.
82
83	[[WMG: Ajimi is a HumanoidAbomination]]
84	* Similar to the [=WMG=] involving Medaka. Ajimi has the OrangeAndBlueMorality for a eldritch horror. But unlike Medaka in the [=WMG=] she is not benevolent.
85
86	[[WMG: Zenkichi will spend the rest of the arc trying to decipher the cryptogram]]
87	* Since he is kind of a ButtMonkey, and there's been some lack of focus on him
88	** Confirmed as of Chapter 115. He doesn't seem to take being in last place well, and now he may be recruited by Ajimu.
89
90	[[WMG: Zenkichi actually has an Abnormality/Minus, and Ajimu traded Parasite Seeing for it with Lip-Service]]
91	* She had to trade All-Fiction to give Kumagawa his Book-Maker back, so presumably she can't just give other people skills as she wishes and can only swap skills. She has Zenkichi's original ability now and perhaps this would become integral to the plot later on.
92
93	[[WMG: Whether you would develop an Abnormality/Minus depends on your blood type.]]
94	* That, or the author REALLY likes the AB blood type, even by Japan's blood type-obsession standards.
95	** It's probably because any other blood type is too "Normal" for most of the characters.
96
97	[[WMG: There is a more serious reason for Zenkichi being more cynical in the present]]
98	* Zenkichi as a child generally seemed extremely cheerful and optimistic. While you could dismiss it as simple maturity, he still seems to advocate the ideals that he once gave to Medaka. Knowing Isin, it may connect with this current Zenkichi vs Medaka arc.
99
100	[[WMG: [[JustAsPlanned Everything since the first genre shift has been an elaborate plan by the author]]]]
101	* Not necessarily in the "meticulously plans out the entire plot" way, but more in a "what? My story's not doing so well so I should change the genre? Fuck you, I'll show ''you'' genre change" way.
102	** The first part is simple enough: take the original premise, file off the romance subplot into standard characterization and then apply Medaka's sheer ridiculousness to the typical fight arc.
103	** Part Deux: Deconstruct/subvert/parody the shit out of that change. It's not just a shonen/fighting manga: it's a shonen/fighting manga where the main plot is to make people into shonen/fighting characters. Don't give then special abilities through "devil fruit" or "soul reaper/hollow/full bring" or "ninja magics" inherent to the setting: straight up call them "Specials" or "Abnormalities."
104	** Part Tres: Just keep at it, raking in both that sweet, sweet shonen fandom and those who enjoy a good vicious parody, and everyone in between.
105	** Part Shi: Here's the pay off. After all of this, after introducing the most mind bendingly broken character yet (to be certain, give her quadrillions of abilities), after going this far... flat out say the entire journey up to this point has been worthless. No one grew. No one achieved anything. But now that the characters know this, they can progress. You know what's really important now? What'll finally get everyone to where they need to be?
106	*** That goddamn romance subplot you dumped way back at the beginning. Fighting? Who needs it, the main heroine can never be beaten. Making friends? They're already friends, and no one's actually really trying to antagonize anyone. No, what needs to be address is the UST in the main characters. And it'll be address in the most over the top, deconstructionist/reconstructionist/weirdest way you can pull off, capping off a truly ridiculous series.
107	* This, my friends and fellow tropers, is Nisio Isin's grand plan to screw with everyone. It does not necessarily need to be maliciously based. Hell, it could have even been planned from the beginning. But the important part is outlined above: turn a typical shonen tale into a twist, non-ecludian mess. Ouroboros that thing up. It's a slice of life/romance, then battling, then a parody, then a deconstruction, then a reconstruction. Finally, it's a romance arc again. And always, always, make it self aware and ridiculous.
108	* Part Five: Profit.
109	** I applaud you sir. I had a similar theory, but your explination sounds better.
110	* This seems to be a theme in Nisio's works. ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', ''Literature/{{Katanagatari}}''...fighting is ultimately meaningless in them too.
111	* In fact, all of this can be completely {{Justified\|Trope}} if the GenreShift(ing) was caused by Ajimu, InUniverse.
112
113	[[WMG:Sukinasaki is going to be the final villain to be effectively beaten in Shonen-style, and Najimu Ajimi will end up being TheUnfought]]
114	* Seems like that.Sukinasaki is a downright CreepyChild who has proved to be somewhat evil and manipulative in the one-shot already, and seems to be an old enemy to Kumagawa himself, who was, by the time they met, the pre-BigBad. Would that make her a GreaterScopeVillain? Well, about this, I don't know. Also, she's got a quite broken Abnormality, as she can brainwash and control everyone by using her cards(except, of course, Medaka and Najimu).
115	* As for the BigBad Najimu Ajimi, well, let's see... Immortal?Check. Has an overwhelming number of different powers?Check. Can negate her enemies abilities?Check. Can read other people's minds?Check. Can be anywhere, anytime? Check....In the end, Najimu is one of the most evident [[GameBreaker game breakers]] in manga history, possibly. There's no possible way she can be defeated in a battle against the characters, except maybe for Medaka, as she already mentioned. As a matter of comparation, Kumagawa was able to ''erase the world'' with his ability, and couldn't beat her. The best he ever could do was to seal her powers, an act that has been apparently losing its effectiveness...This way, she's going either to change her ways and leave the main cast alone(which can really happen, if Medaka bests her both in arguments, or in the election), or win, and then in a would-be quite spectacular twist, resign from her victory, and leave. But battle-wise, she's physically invincible.
116	* Partly Jossed, as Sukinasaki is revealed to be quite a nice individual by the end of her chapters, completely averting the image of ManipulativeBastard she has created in the one shot. Najimi really ends as TheUnfought antagonist. She wins in the end, but in the end "resigns" her victory, deciding to leave [[GoOutWithABang in a pretty]] [[SeenItAllSuicide bombastic fashion]].
117	----
118	[[WMG: Najimu Ajimi is the Author Avatar of Nisio]]
119
120	The Sheer amount of fourth wall breaking on her part, and the implications that the entire plot is a product of her imagination turned into reality very strongly suggests that Najimi is both the Author Avatar and a Self-insert genderbended version of Nisio himself.
121	----
122	[[WMG: The Devil Style ability is enhancing Zenkichi's original ability as an unintended consequence.]]
123	This is because his Devil Style ability is a passive instead of active ability removing all plot luck from consequences. Zenkichi's original ability is some kind of active skill that he subconsciously uses through sheer willpower, which results in him still being able to pull off plot because his original power allows him to do things that should've been impossible for him to begin with. By nullifying plot his powers come in full force.
124
125	To put it another way since he can resist abnormal and minus abilities these things will always have diminishing returns when used against him when he starts to invoke his power through determination always instead of sometimes. And other examples of his not-normal abilities like how he has a borderline harem because of his inexplicable ability to use heart or the fact that he atracts wierd people so he's destined to always have contrived coincedences only instead of a chance of it not happening it will always happen.
126	----
127	[[WMG: Ajimu isn't dead.]]
128
129	Presumably, Ajimu has fought Ishiko thousands of times, give or take a few hundred, over both their existences. And Ajimu apparently lost every single one of them. Now, it would make sense that a few of these fights ended in her death. And it would make sense that out of her quadrillions of skills, one of them would be able to defy Ishiko's and bring her back to life.
130	* Iihiko doesn't have a skill and Hanten'in mentioned that Ajimu was never outright killed by Iihiko before.
131	* More or less Confirmed by the last chapter of the Manga. The note that Ajimu leaves on her card from the Hundred Flowers Run Arc is an invitation to play again, and everyone else seems to take this as absolute confirmation that she's still alive. Not that many of the characters ever believed she really could die anyway.
132	----
133	[[WMG: Ajimu's next goal was to defeat Iihiko]]
134	It would make sense since he has been the only thing ever she couldn't win against.
135
136	---
137	[[WMG: Everything in the series was a mass hallucination event.]]
138	They were all kids just playing with superpowers. Iihiko shows what happens when you try to use those "powers" against a violent thug who doesn't care for the rules.
139	He warmed up to their game eventually, at least.
140	* Not exactly hallucination, but still make-believe games. In the epilogue, it even states they lost their powers when growing up, "as if they didn't need them any more". Why? Because they were actually a huge group of anti-social kids (often highly gifted kids, who can't connect to others of their age) who couldn't make friends (it's said quite often that both Abnormals and Minuses have troubles with that) who instead make up fantasy stories, and then start connecting with each other over them.
141
142	---
143	[[WMG: Mogana's ''real'' married surname is Kumagawa.]]
144	Although Kikaijima probably uses a different surname in public, there is a LOT of ShipTease between Kikaijima and Kumagawa during the Naked Apron alliance. It also explains why Kumagawa Misogi is hiding from everyone else; he would break the promise he made during the Graduation Ceremony if the others found out that he was finally ''happy''.
145
146	[[WMG: Explanations for Iihiko Shishime's powerset.]]
147	* He is an extra-dimensional being similar to [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Leliel]]. Attacking what appears to be his 'real body', is only attacking a shadow-form, which is why it'll fail. You need to be able to perceive and interact with higher dimensions to attack his real body.
148
149	[[WMG: Explanations Najimi Ajimu's powerset.]]
150	* A form of chaos magic. She may have quadrillions of powers, but thinking she has fine control over such seems absurd, even by the manga's standards. She uses them in the form of a shotgum blast, where she may have a vague idea of what she wants, but little control of the exact end result.
151
152	[[WMG: Ajimu is a future version of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya.]]
153	* They're both nigh-omnipotent brunette with yellow ribbons in her hair. Ajimu's long forgotten the SOS Brigade and has probably recreated things a few time. However, she's drawn to Zenkichi because of his similarities to Kyon...
154	** To be honest, I think her design and character is just based on Haruhi. It would explain her god-like status and hairstyle, after all. Heck, she may even be a WhatIf idea of the author going "I wonder what a fully-realized Haruhi would do." And now we have Ajimu.
155
156	[[WMG: The reason Medaka II snapped and tried to reform her previous self was because of the emotions in those memories.]]
157
158	* Emotions are part of a person's memories as well. How people feel about a memory influences the memory as well. When Medaka II recalled the memory, she viewed them clinically and didn't accept their emotions. But when Zenkichi said that he believed that Medaka was the kind of person who existed to help others ever since he met her, all those emotions hit her at once. For a being who 'rejected the heart' all those emotions crushed her. But Zenkichi was able to save her from that too. Because that's just how Medaka is. A person who exists to help those around her, and help herself. It's that simple. No abnormalities, she's just like that. No matter what happens to her mind, she's always Medaka.
159
160	[[WMG: Medaka never absorbed Yukuhashi's Abnormality. She broke free because of Zenkichi, her personality and nothing else.]]
161
162	* This is just me wanting to believe Medaka is herself and brainwashing wasn't able to change that, but there's some evidence, I believe. The bars in the background don't look like Yukuhashi's, and were more like a representation of Medaka's natural personality fighting back against the brainwashing. When Zenkichi said that he needed to help herself as well, Medaka II's personality just surrendered, allowing Medaka's true personality, locked away instead of erased, to return. Because it's Medaka.
163
164	[[WMG: Youka ended up regaining her memory somehow.]]
165
166	* The fact that her personality flipped so drastically when Koga was nearly killed seems to imply she regained her memory. While Koga's own near-death state can be explained as it, as she still calls Maguro "Aniki" afterwards, it implies that she regained her memories and just didn't tell anyone. There's reasoning for that too, as she's Medaka's sister. With Medaka being very well loved by the school, her being known as Medaka's sister would have given her an advantage she didn't want. Just because she regained her memory doesn't mean her philosophy has changed.
167
168	[[WMG: Kumagawa's ability is based on the SnapBack trope.]]
169	* If Medaka's power is literally PlotArmour then Kumagawa's powers can be to ability to make everything SnapBack. He just weaponizes it more consciously.
170
171	[[WMG: Everyone in the Medaka Box universe with the AB blood-type is actually just one person.]]
172	* They used to be a singular god that split themselves up into multiple other superpowers and people because they were tired of being god.
173
174	[[WMG: All the Abnormalities in the end weren't truly erased due to adolescence...]]
175	* ...It's because they were erased by Kumagawa, who wanted to do one last, ultimate '''fuck you''' to Ajimu, before he felt like everyone should become more relaxed and move one with their lives as he and everyone else enjoys their life as ordinary people who can actually feel like they can make friends. The reason why some powers took longer to vanish than the rest and while some stayed was because Kumagawa doesn't want to make any mistakes and is erasing them one by one. There are probably some abilities that he doesn't care about also, so he leaves them be. Alternatively, he only erased the Abnormalities of the people he knew, and feels as though that it's his job as student council president to do so. This also explains why Handsode's ability never went away.
176
177	[[WMG: Zenkichi is the real owner of the PlotArmour abnormality.]]
178	* And Medaka-chan just copied it unknowingly. This would explain how he's seemingly able to get up from any attack, and how he also seems to have a bit of PlotArmour himself. And of course, considering that Medaka can copy any ability and master it 120%, she has an even greater version of PlotArmour than Zenkichi.
179
180	[[WMG: Medaka was originally a Minus.]]
181	* Her true Minus is copying, as it's the one power she truly owns. Her entire personality is based on copying others. She can copy abnormalities as well as fighting stances. But it's also a huge source of negativity from her, as she's been warped by it. Yup, sounds like a Minus to me.
182
183	[[WMG: Ajimu is a MarySue who gained self-awareness.]]
184	* And the manga as we know it is just fanfiction. Ajimu is a SelfInsert character who was written into the story during a “middle school arc” that we never get to see because [[AlternateUniverseFic her presence fundamentally warped canon and made divergence inevitable]]. Her author, a preteen girl, fantasized about being friends with Medaka and Zenkichi and so let her AuthorAvatar go to her school. (Indeed, even in the real-life story, Medaka never talks to Ajimu as anything but a friend.) But being an inexperienced writer, Ajimu failed to properly replicate the characters, and intentionally changed them in some cases. Medaka is TheHero, so she made her [[InvincibleHero skilled at everything]], but since the canon characters cannot outshine the Sue, Ajimu received far more than the SuperpowerLottery to ensure she would always be above Medaka. Zenkichi is [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands suddenly revealed]] [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat to be a skilled martial artist with no foreshadowing]] because the author doesn’t understand the necessity of foreshadowing, but likes Zenkichi too much to make him TheLoad once her OriginalCharacter villains show up. She is neutral toward Akune and Mogana so they gradually lose importance as she bores of writing them.
185	* In the version of the manga that she read, Kumagawa is the BigBad, and a CompleteMonster whose defeat ends the series and obviously never joins the heroes. But Ajimu [[PerverseSexualLust loves]] Kumagawa and as such [[DracoInLeatherPants makes him significantly less evil than in canon]], though she decides to save the redemption arc she thought up for him for later in the story so he is still an ArcVillain for a bit, despite his motives becoming contradictory and nonsensical. On the other hand, she hates and despises Emukae, and as punishment she turns her from [[BadPowersGoodPeople the fifth Student Council member who is part of a love triangle with Zenkichi and Medaka]] into [[RonTheDeathEater a completely insane lunatic unhealthily obsessed with Zenkichi despite now being an enemy, and who can’t control her destructive powers]]. Compare her to Shibuki and Gagamaru, who in the original were psychopaths ''before'' getting their powers and this fact corrupting said powers, which nuance Ajimu did not understand so she just placed Emukae among Kumagawa’s minions and made the distinction between Plus and Minus completely arbitrary, allowing for characters like Kamome later on.
186	* Shiranui was a MuggleBestFriend for Zenkichi, so Ajimu didn’t much care for her, but she didn’t treat her as badly as Emukae because her brother is also a fan of the series and Shiranui is his favorite character. She would later give him a SelfInsert as well, namely Hanten, and he would collaborate with her later on, causing Hansode to have a power all of a sudden, and Iihiko was his idea, the ultimate InvincibleVillain to close the story off. Before then, Ajimu just invented all of Class 13 as [=OCs=] for her original story arc, the Flask Plan. The desire to make a perfect human is fitting, as if Ajimu could accept human imperfections in the first place, she wouldn’t write unbearably “perfect” Mary Sues. None of these [=OCs=] are remotely relevant after their arc is finished, being just tools to cause conflict. Medaka’s siblings are {{OC Stand In}}s however, as in the “original” they are mentioned but don’t appear, much like their father later.
187	* Last, Medaka’s successors we’re originally intended to be the [=OCs=] that follow the Sue around just to prove how awesome she is, and the reason why Ajimu has 700 million humans forming her existence — [[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale one-tenth of the population of the whole Earth]] — is because Ajimu absentmindedly wrote that her character had that many friends and did not do the research. But after redeeming Kumagawa she needed a new villain, and so, since teenage fanfic writers have no understanding of how bad and messed up sexual assault is, and carelessly include it only as a plot device to make a story DarkerAndEdgier, she created Fukurou, intending to give Medaka more angst and have a character so one-dimensionally vile that none of the readers object to him being killed gruesomely.
188	* But while writing the story, she gets a lot of feedback, pointing out the story’s flaws and offering ways for her to improve it. Unlike many Mary Sue writers, she actually accepts the criticism, realizes they have a point, and tries to improve. This happens at right about the time where she wrote her SelfInsert confronting Kumagawa alone, and though she originally planned for him to turn good [[SwiperNoSwiping just from asking]], she now realizes that Ajimu is a Sue, and the story is going to suffer for it. So instead she has Kumagawa kill Ajimu and has Medaka fight him instead. But this caused the fictional Ajimu to realize her own Sueness, and instead of disappearing, she now knows she is a fictional character created as WishFulfillment. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation This realization broke her.]] Everything she does from here on is a desperate attempt to find something beyond her power in order to “prove” she is not a Sue, and that she and the world are still bound by logic after all, and that the story can still be engaging even with overpowered characters, and that the protagonists are sincerely likable despite being the protagonists. So she abdicates her ill gotten position of “protagonist” and returns it to Medaka, and the story now plays out as it does in canon. Her author, meanwhile, is improving the story and eventually brings the character back as a morally ambiguous but initially antagonistic force, while rewriting the Flask Plan and Medaka’s Successor arcs to deconstruct and question the very idea of overpowered characters.
189	* The writer is also named Ajimu Najimi, but she is actually American and only knows Fangirl Japanese, so she doesn’t understand that her online handle, “Anshin’in-san”, is nonsensical to a Japanese person, sounding something like [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign “Miss Relief Attendant”]].
