What a complete pussy Zenkichi turned out to be...the guy was completely useless from beginning to end....

I found it hilarious that he didn't manage to solve the puzzle haha XD....everybody was shocked to still see him trying to solve the puzzle :)))

And gg @ Medaka for knocking some sense into him...literally lmao

He should just partner up with Kuma and start trolling Medaka....

Maybe this is the start of their relationship getting teared apart.

And the party poopers drop in on Ajimu.

I found that a bit harsh that Medaka punched him really. I mean just because he couldn't solve one puzzle he gets a punch on the head in her super mode. I hope that Medaka and Zenkichi relationship doesn't tear apart.

Huh? That wasn't even a playful punch. She straight up smacked him with a weird look in her eyes.

I was surprised to see the weapons master guy, that always wanted to kill in, that group of five.

Holyshit.

That was her plan all along.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE MINDFUCK.

And for all ya future guys who see this thread, it takes just a minute to see why she hit him, Ajimu explained it perfectly. I guess you can't overestimate a god with over a quadrillion skills.

Anshin'in is implying that Medaka, having been around more "normal" people, now sees Zenkichi as just "a human that tries too hard at everything." That doesn't seem like something Medaka would even believe in, though, does it? Surely Medaka doesn't believe there's such a thing as "trying too hard." So I am wondering why she hit Zenkichi at the end of the chapter...He said something about "Kumagawa had to do something to me!," like he was making excuses...Maybe she hit him because she was angry that he'd make excuses like that? I went back to chapters 98-100 to try and see what Kumagawa did that Zenkichi was referring to, but I couldn't figure it out. What did Kumagawa do that Zenkichi was using as an excuse?

Accorting to Anshin ,Zenkichi looked special to Medaka because she was surrounded by non ordinary people and him being normal made him look special. So now that this 5 kids are normals too he doesn't look that special.
Medaka though didn't seem to be angry because he failed(she had a smile on her face when she initially try to get him) but because of his attitude when they went to get him. His excuses and yelling at her was ridiculous. I can see why she would get upset and hit him in the head since the way he was acting was completely immature and she expected more from him since she has a strong belief in him. He disappointed her beliefs about him by acting that way.

This chapter made me so sad...this manga was never really about medaka, but about zenkichi, the "normal" person. And now we've seen him at his darkest hour and it's saddening...I wonder how he's going to pull himself out of this one. I wish he saves the day somehow in the end but, that might be too hopeful.

I'm so confused why those 5 were there in the end, talking to ajimu. It feels like a betrayal :/

Fucking finally.

The moment I've been waiting for.

Zenkichi is disappointed and angry at himself for not being able to solve the puzzle when everyone else can. He's pissed off that he's so weak and dumb. He's despairing because his expectations of himself fell short. Zenkichi completely and utterly failed.

And he can't even except his own failure.

That's what Medaka's so pissed off about. Zenkichi isn't a paragon of virtue and humility. He's just a normal kid.

Zenkichi needs to take responsibility for his own failure. He needs to admit it to himself. That's all Medaka wanted him to do.

But the failing is greater because Zenkichi is so self-obsessed that he can't even acknowledge or congratulate his comrades on their victory.

All because of Zenkichi's pride.

But I think that pride is worth protecting. Just not at the cost of responsibility and humility. You have to have pride and humility to get along with anyone in this world.

And at this moment, Zenkichi just can't summon up that humility.

Don't tell me these 5 behind her are also "Ajimus" or whatever that weird thing with other people being her is... If so, this is getting ridiculous >.<
