Is there any system that CAN?
>>
>>52224680
Treat her like the Lady of Pain. No stats and its assumed that anyone who fights her is a dead man walking. Only other beings of her caliber can damage her and then it's just you explaining to the players that one nigh-onmipotent being beat another.

GIving Ajimu stats defeats the purpose of her character.

Ajimu is the antithesis of the Minus-kun.

She wins every battle, yet loses the war.

If you don't like the arc with Kumagawa then the series is probably not for you.

The good guy were a bunch of insuferable asshole winning every times. The bad guy loses du to mary-sue bullshit.

Kumagawa is cool but his entire gang are even more insufferable and retarded than the main cast.

I just want to know how goddess-chan get beaten.

How the fuck does Medaka Box work? I always see shit in brackets and when I started it out it was just 'student council helping students' stuff.

>>52228491
The school's actually a facility to create a super soldier or something along those line. Cue the school being full of batshit insane super powered students.

I still have no idea why that guy talk in bracket.

It doesn't, that's the point.

Goddess-chan loses because the story isn't a manga.

Anything Kumagawa says is in a neutral tone void of human emotions.

Her abilities are literally just whatever bullshit she can possibly think of. She was only beaten by a guy whose one power is "fuck your shit". He killed her with a rubber band.

Alright, this doesn't give me any idea how she loses. I'll go read it now. I've only read up to the ending of the Minus arc but I doubt anything meaningful happened in the meantime.

this guy already sounds more interesting than OP's. did the avatar of spite do anything else cool?

You will actually miss one of my favorite arcs if only for it's ending. But Minus arc is definitely a top tier arc for this series.

Tfw nobody understand this brilliant manga

his power wasn't "fuck your shit", his power was being the personification of both the readers and the author

hence when he makes you dead, you stay dead. the author is god and the readers dictate anything that happens between the lines.

Wasn't she the Author/Editor insert?

That's why her goal was such that she was bored of Medaka the Mary-Sue and had the state goal of ending the Manga before the anime started, and why she was working behind the scenes at first before putting her foot down and forcing the story to change tone throughout.

It's like stating the rulebook for a game. What's the stats for the D&D Players Handbook?
>>
>>52229330
>DESPAIR...!!

Who said that?
>>
>>52228310
It turned into a generic shounen battle series because the Author really wanted to do one, and then did it. Then he added meta until the readers killed the editor, and writing caused the readers to take mercy on the rest of the story.

Isn't FRESH an in-universe representation for the reader? That's why the only power that can do anything to him is the language based powers. Because good writing can change a reader's opinion etc.

I feel like it comes closer to being a metaphor for just tearing out the pages of a rulebook you don't like, and the players are just trying to convince you that you're making unnecessary changes, but if they actually start getting too aggressive at the rules, you threaten to kick them from the group.
>>
>>52230598
Pretty much. Iihiko and most of the stuff from the later arcs were metaphors.

GURPS.
>>
>>52224680

Wait, so she's a universal goddess? There's a template for that I think, but it more or less is just a set of suggestions as to how to play an omnipotent entity, as opposed to real stats.

Basically, they win unless whatever they did loses the players' interest and everyone leaves the game, in which case they lose.
>>
I saw someone give pre-retcon Beyonder fair (as in "actually represented the character decently while not using any fiat elements," not "fair as in balanced") stats in Mutants and Masterminds, so I imagine she would be possible as well.

>>52231458
>template for that
In what game?
>>
>>52231458
FRESH

In this case represented by the players taking the DM screen and scribbling all over her character entry.
>>
>>52224680
>Is there any system that CAN?

YES.

Not all systems are D&D, OP. And I don't mean stuff like "when you're picking abilities for your character, sometimes you use points instead of levels".

I mean in D&D-type games you pick lots of fire spells, and as a result your character is a fire mage. In FATE or Risus or whatever, you declare your character is a fire mage, and as a result they know lots of fire spells.
And plenty of RPGs support having one party member who's super-strong and never loses a fight, even in stories centered on fighting. When you're working with resources more abstract than Hit Points, it's easy for losing to mean something like "so impressed by their enemies that they no longer have the heart to fight" or "remembered they left the oven on".

Statting Ajimu in a system like that is trivially easy. Just write "Random Bullshit Powers" as one of her skills.

no existing system can but it's easy enough to homebrew. you first have to set how many distinct skills and how many abnormalities and minuses exist in your setting. then, whenever someone wants to invoke one, you can roll the probability of having it to begin with on a diceset of your choice.
>>
>>52224722
ayy
>>
>>52224680

I think I have an idea: whenever she attempts a skill check, a roll is made to determine whether it is one of her 7943,1354,4152,3222 skills, or she is penalized by it with one of her 4925,9165,2611,0643 flaws. Any skill check rolled in favor remains so for the rest of the game, but so does any flaw, so she might be attempting to do something that requires a save but rolls up a flaw instead and ends up falling down a chasm or something.

Basically Russian Roulette: the character. Do you want to press your luck and see what you're a l88t h/-\Xor you are, or do you want to stick with the handful of skills you know you're good at?

>>52240414
By using the power of words. "In-universe" powers didn't work, so they had to resort to language/words to beat him.

It was entirely a metaphor that the readers can make or break a series by hating and just deciding not to read it, bombing the polls etc. and everything, but with enough work an author is capable of writing a good story that changes the readers opinions.
