Honestly at this point I'd say don't hold your breath for a third season. While it wouldn't make sense to stop the series when the introduction of the next main antagonist just came along, Gainax is INFAMOUS for it's cliffhangers. Most recently Panty and Stocking where they just plain stopped after the whole "Stocking was a demon all along" incident and they've made no plans for a sequel whatsoever.

So yeah, I'd say keep expectations low and just enjoy this one Kumagawa episode to the fullest. We likely won't be seeing another unless Gainax has given up it's trolling ways (Which I doubt it has.)

They're kind of hard questions to answer.

The answer to the second question is something to do with Jungian psychology and only makes sense with a satirical reading while judging from context Yumekichi11 is attempting a straight reading.

I don't even read Medaka Box and I'm trying to answer...
Well at least this may force other people's hands.
So the first one means they still have a chance in the series to come back? Some these characters hold lot of value for people especially the kid and his sister whom talks weird.

Well for the second one you mean the lady is a creation of Medaka's DNA/Brain only? That would be insanely crazy. A person that can Mind/Thinking create such a abomination is beyond me.

Medaka from this episode is Peter Petrelli with a boost on any skills she acquires.


Just know this, what was shown in this episode is only the tip of Medaka's Abnormality , Peter Petrelli pales in comparison. S4 will explore more on that. And the manga is still ongoing, the demon thing inside Medaka may be a future arc, perhaps even the final one.

Still don't like Kumagawas Voice. His Seiyuu is unfitting, if you ask me.

But ... DOSEN'T MATTER, HAD KUMAGAWA.

Really? I think the voice fits his character perfectly. Despite his mindset the whole premise of Kumagawa is that he's this frail, weak, pathetic, wimpy loser who looks as though he couldn't harm a fly, much less prove to be any kind of threat. So in that respect I can't think of any seiyuu that would have done him more justice than the one who voiced Shinji Ikari

To me it seems like a lot of people are misunderstanding that scene.
There is no demon inside Medaka, we're not in Naruto.

An abnormality define a person, it's highly linked to one's personality.
When Oudo steal an abnormality, he does so by stealing their personalities.

When he tried to steal Medaka's the end he "understood" Medaka, that is he took in her true personality even for a moment. That second Medaka inside of her is pretty much her personality's incarnation, the form of Medaka's heart.

The way she sees the world, the extent of her capabilities, how she believes that life has no meaning, how everything is meaningless, how the world exist solely for her.
He had to take in all these feeling, all that darkness that's in Medaka's heart
everyday.

Medaka has Hitoyoshi and his word that are carved into her soul, Oudo doesn't.
He's reduced to how Medaka saw the world before she met Hitoyoshi, when she was in the darkness before she was given a reason to exist.

He couldn't take it, it was too much for him, he got scared of real darkness. How he sees the world is being reduced to normal compared to Medaka. He thought he was king, he thought a lot of thing but all those were reduced to nothing, he started to feel like there was no purpose in existing, how meaningless everything he put so much effort was. It's not a personality anyone but Medaka could live with.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't look like there is a demon inside Medaka.


For people like me who are still resisting Nisio Isin because we don't agree with his premise there is still a tiny bit of wriggle room for a straight reading. And this is intentional because the satire will become more explicit later on. The longer we can keep this false reading up the bigger the impact when our reading completely falls apart.
So in spite being wrong, at this stage in the story we're are allowed to be wrong.
(Although admittedly that only works if we are reading on from this stage.)

And how the episode end I really want to see the final episode with subs!!!

It's not a personality anyone but Medaka could live with.
So essentially Oudo not having a Support Pillar cannot handle Medaka's state and nor would she if at that point she did not meet the one who acts as a support pillar.

I see your way of looking at it and it still is debatable over the Evil God theorem along with remaining to see what of this element.

I will take your simple way of seeing cause it seems less confusing but eventually by seeing more I might have more ideals over what this strange female/Ringu like Sadako is.

Crap excuse for a fight, probably the worst out of all the fights this season. I must say though I was quite surprised by the ending. I expected better but at least it wasn't boring.

Pretty bad if they don't continue on this note.

But I have to say Kumagawa's entrance was way too overdone (in the manga as well). All the blood and everybody seemingly dead. Waaaaay overdone.

Damn that was epic, amazing action great development and just a nice ending! I do wonder what the final episode will bring us! This episode sure was amazing revealing so much information!

That ending sure makes it even more interesting and that the he's Kumagawa makes it even better! I do wonder now that they come with this if there will be a third season after the next episode?

Epic episode though! Now lets see the final episode!

Ending was beautiful, so reminiscent of the last season and its a boss who ironically met the same end this episode as how we first saw his victims. Just grandeur, I love the quick emotion shift.

O and I'm pretty sure (for those wondering who the black hair kid is), he's from the first season or well mentioned in it. Its fuzzy and I only watched the anime but I think he's the guy who killed a girl which Medaka walked in on and went War God mode . As I end this message, I feel I'm wrong because I didn't see giant screws or at least, don't recall.

About Kumogawa... it's so brutal that he literally killed everyone on that floor, I totally such deaths coming. But if we have that desperate thing of a monster called "Medaka" why would we ever be worried about anything, really?

This is the Kumagawa everyone spoke of!! Holy shit instant favorite!

Fuuck the whole series, lame ass ending, OP as fuuck Medaka, and so much plot shield + ass pull. Here comes Kumagawa! Best part of the series, "It's not my fault" LOL It's clearly your fault -.-

Edit: It's so lame how the sister Kujira begged for help, her characters contradict with itself, very much. How Oudo lost is also lame as fuuck, a king turned into a chicken in seconds, where is his pride? Where is his ego? Lame characterization.

Medaka Box has typically been a series that despite my better judgement I've managed to enjoy thoroughly enough. I mean, it contains a lot of things I generally dislike/hate in story-telling but somehow it normally entertained me, much more than it should of. This time was abnormal. I really, really disliked this episode . . .

Then Kumagawa appeared. Yeah, I don't know what else to say, I can't wait to see more of this guy after the tremendous amount of hype for him & the pretty damn good job the series has done of building him up to this point.

Episode a bit too predictable and fast in the narrative, Medaka and chat with four blows, silences even the bad, what a shame!
The little sister instead so sadistic and evil, it melts like ice cream just Koga could die, come on!

No survivors...!? when you show that scene and have some character(s) tell us views that (no survivors thing) I hope they don’t downplay the scene by making all casualties come back alive... I hate when Manga/Anime do that after a supposed shock revelation scene...

I wonder if next episode will conclude this new event properly because frankly I don’t see how is going to be resolved in the last episode... well on to the final episode to see if I’m right or wrong...

Well the sister turned super quickly to crying girl asking for help. So medaka gained a brand new form. Jesus man this medaka is probably one of the most broken main characters out there. I mean this fight was ridiculously easy. Well that was a cliff hanger.

Medaka turned the most chad Man into a simp that listens on command without batting a eye, as much as I can see Medaka being worthy of such praise... I can't help but be scared of her abnormality such a power shouldn't exist. Though sadly many men themselves have this weakness innate within themselves as they chase for the pussy, But Medaka seems to elevate that or at least perfects this technique to its fullest extent. Even I love Medaka, which is reasonable but to think I have also been subjugated is beyond words.

Behold of my awesomeness~
