Medaka Box had really cool ideas, I just wish the execution was better and it didn't contradict itself so much.

>LOOK HOW AWESOME MEDAKA IS! SHE'S THE STRONGEST AND NICEST AND WANTS TO HELP EVERYONE!
>make her literally the boss of one arc, conflict against Zenkichi, get rekt throughout the manga, not even conscious during the final battle despite being the main character of a shonen series

>LOOK HOW MUCH OF A LOSER KUMAGAWA IS, HE CAN'T EVER WIN!
>he wins sometimes anyway (even if something bad happens after, still doesn't change the fact that he beat some people)


>LOOK HOW MEDIOCRE AND RELATABLE ZENKICHI IS!
>he gets super powers anyway and beats final boss

Nisio Isin needs to make Ajimu on top of my penis.

Zenkichi was the MC

>>149379239
Zenkichi didn't stand out that much but he was the MC. Not Medaka.

Kumagawa was being savvy, he twisted the situation so that him "winning" against given character meant that he was losing in a different area at the same time.
It was kind of stretched, admittedly.

Kumagawa defined 'victory' in Shonen Jump terms. He's never able to win as a hero, all of his methods are more suited to a villain. Although he may win, because he never wins in the honest, shonen-esque way he would like, he always feels like he loses. Put another way, he's the kind of character whose methods and personality will never let him be a main character, so every time he wins with those methods and personality represents failure.

>the minus arc will never be adapted

Well, it's far more simple. He doesn't win, meaning he doesn't ever gain abilities, wealth, nothing. Instead, he makes others lose.
Medaka winning means she will have the power to modify the world as she pleases, while Kuma winning just means a corpse more.
The only thing Kumagawa actually gained was that OVA about the colors dude.

>S3 never

Why didn't you just skip S1 and2 and just go straight to producing S3.

the character kumagawa was too good for the show.

he deserves his own anime, he was seriously better than the entire combied cast of medaka box.

>>149379239
Kumagawa never wins because he doesn't actually gain anything, he makes other people miserable.
Medaka is literally a mary sue by design, but she isn't the MC.

>>149383143
Does anyone have that fanart of her with all the sex-related abilities

>>149383143
Does Kumagawa still love her?

>>149385824
Possibly, but I like to pretend he was the dude who knocked up Swimmer-chan and that's why she blushes in the finale when someone asks where he was.

I liked Zenkichi better. I could never relate to Kumagawa for some reason.
