I wasn't expecting to be excited about this kind of battles, but I am. I'm enjoying this Shiranui Arc so far.
So, we're going to see the effect of that song of her.

Joutou is putting up a good fight, wish it would keep going instead of Medaka pulling something out of her ass to end it.

Seem like Medaka is starting to understand what a style is.
My guess on it:

Abnormality are abilities people are born with it. In that category there's both pluses and minuses which affect their user's life very differently.
Abnormality are talents, a weapon that might but might not fit someone's personality.

Style are abilities people gain through life and experience. Unlike abnormality they aren't simply a weapon someone is holding, they are an extention of it's user soul and will.
'Because I love music and I want my feeling to reach people I will reach them.' kind of thing.
They cannot be replicated with the end, that's impossible. Style come from desire, will and experience. They aren't just something you got for no reason.
An abnormality shape it's user's life but a style is always shaped and reshaped by it's user's life, it's the complete opposite.

Abnormality represent the unchanging force of the world, raw power and talent.
Style represent the will to not give up, the desire to change, feeling/emotion and the desire for your soul to connect with other, in one way or another.

Medaka is finally starting to graduate from being a monster to a human.

So Medaka is finally becoming more human? Hope it changes like 99% of her character in the process.

im getting confuse on what a Style is lol but a song can be a style too that is is not meant for perfection (its just a medium for communication that is related to Sounds for example)

so maybe that is why Kurokami with her THE END cannot copy styles since its not meant for perfection or mastery, maybe the Styles have a concept of "creativity comes from imperfections" sort of thing

Medaka can swallow bullets...? What the crap.

So I wonder how this song works. Can it actually make Medaka feel like everyone else?

It's an abnormality she apparently The Ended from that one girl of the Plus Six from Class 13.

Apparently Medaka learned a Style herself, without having to rely on professor Tsurubami. But I'm more curious about that side-note at the end of the chapter. What will happen to Shiranui?

Yes but not only that.
Medaka can move at the speed of sound, if not more (Actually she'll have to be much faster if she plan to face Iihiko) and can take down a big ass campus with a couple of punches. How would it be weird for her to be able to catch bullet with her mouth?

To keep it going would essentially result in Medaka losing and getting killed by the style user. Good idea, buddy.

Her opponent put up a good enough fight already and it IS time for Medaka to come up with an effective countermeasure.

She clearly references that Class 13 girl's ability here. Although she calls it "self-defense technique", i still find the fact that she can use it contradictory to what was established in previous chapter in regards to abilities they can use with their bodies rejuvenated by Joutou. Other Medaka's feats that you mention - strength and supersonic speed, were also displayed when she was of high school age, but right now she has a middle schooler's body.

It's not an Abnormality. She already demonstrated that techniques, like Altered God Mode, could still be used in her rejuvenated state.
