Wew what a loser
It was at this moment that I finally begun liking Zenkichi
"seriously?" on several levels, i think that was the actual intention tho
I actually forgot his existence prior to this.
Same, made it hit hard when you realized how insignificant zenichi was up to that point.
It truly was an absolutely masterful way of setting up his rise to main character.
Was great seeing someone still human in a universe of caricatures.
Haven't read Medaka yet. What's the context behind that scene?
"Normal" member of the group was left behind during a scavenger hunt. When the "specials" finished and came back found him still stuck on the first clue
The whole point of the scavenger hunt was to build up the bonds, but the whole point was ruined when everyone forgot about the normal guy. Even the readers.
vengeance
I was here when that happened. It was a big deal. Thread after thread was made with that picture as OP.
pure kino
Wish I could have seen it.
Forever Zenkichi
When it was happening, a lot of people thought Zenkichi would be waiting at the final trial
>reading spoilers
the state of Yea Forums posters
And then we had a grim reminder
>all those years of friendship meant nothing to medaka
what a bitch
It's not like I plan on reading it
These niggers watch anime at 2X speed and dubs what do you expect from these degenerates
For all his suffering, that spread with Ajimu where she asks him if he wants to be a main character like X is my favorite spread of all time
Faggot
Also the following chapters were a super wild ride and you really couldn't predict what would happen
That stunned look on her face when he gave his reply was great.
Please post it user.
What made Medaka Box so great was also the meta narrative. Zenkichi didn't even break top 10 except maybe the first one in popularity polls until his Main Character arc begun and after that he was either second behind Kumagawa or third behind Akune. Kumagawa and Kamome were also incredibly likable characters. I miss it.
Ajimu's buddy can craft custom powers, this is her reaction when Zenkichi tells her what he wants.
>the anti-asspull power
Zenkichi was based
Interesting page, Thanks user.
My favorite is the panel where he starts screaming once he realizes that all of his reasons were bs and he helped Medaka because he was attracted to her.
Just proves he’s genre savvy. Asspulls are the final power of any Mc

So good it's parody has been getting dumped every year since 2012

What do you think this image is based on
I have never seen that before in my life
caring about spoilers is normalfag shit please neck yourself newfag
Maybe you should lurk moar
she deserves him so much more than medaka
K
Holy christ you can’t be serious. Please leave because you clearly haven’t been hear for at least a fucking year.
oh thats what its from. I never actually opened any of the threads because tsunderes are terrible
I've never seen that.
Everybody deserved him more than Medaka, the readers, Shiranui, Emukae, Ruki.
I liked medaka before the original premise was thrown out the window and replaced with nisio crazy town
You can't possibly be this new.
This was the one I was thinking of.
Pain.
I was there, I had no horse in the race. People were in emotional pain. Fury, sadness, frustration... just PAIN.
I still don't get why medaka was mad at zenkichi after this? He tried his best and didn't cheat.
Im pretty sure Zenkichi is the only one who ever broke her smugness. Even her chosen Kumagawa couldn't do that
it's pretty good for a shonen jump manga, which isn't a very high bar. it goes full nisio for all the wrong reasons though.
For me, it's Hoshi no Samidare
He went into a rant blaming Kumagawa and didn't really own up to his failings.
This. The hackery Nisio pulled in this manga is even worse than what he does with Senjougahara in Mono.
I'm just glad Zenkichi was able to beat the final boss with the power of actual friendship instead of "the power of friendship".
why are all the textboxes blank?
Because we're not suppose to know what he's asking for. We get the reveal like 25 chapters later of what Skill he wants made to beat the strongest character known in the series to this point: Medaka.
ahh thanks for the explanation
I remember thinking he was going to surprise everyone by being already at the goal. Then nope.
I read all of Medaka Box to understand this scene because it kept getting posted in one page threads. I was not disappointed.
1 + 1 dude come on.
>Less than a fucking 1 year old.
Unironically lurk moar.
>Don't recognize one of the characters referenced
I feel ashamed.
Can I watch the anime and read the manga from where it ends? Or would I be missing out on stuff? I generally prefer watching anime.
This.
Anime is trash, just read the manga.
You wont be able to become a main character like that, user
Yes you can, but the first arc is shit and the second one is Ok, the anime adapts those 2 and ends in the start of the best arc
It's fine. The beginning of the story the anime covers was the shittiest part of the story. The anime ends right when the story gets really really good.
Main cast is composed of ultra-talented superpowered geniuses except for the audience surrogate who is just the normal guy who gets to do some cool shit once every million years.
Eventually an antagonist with meta knowledge of how this stories work shows up and decides to break their group so she introduces a bunch of girls who are also normal people (more or less).
The main cast organizes a scavenger hunt to form bonds with the new group of girls or some shit like that and the first task is to solve a riddle IRRC. The girls do it easily and the rest of the arc is about them overcoming the next tasks and growing closer to the original cast. Once that's over everyone goes back to the place where the first task took place and find the original normal guy still struggling with it.
This whole situation leads him to realize that he no longer has a place in the main cast, since he was only "special" by being the normal guy amongst geniuses and now those girls took his position and are much better at it than he ever was. He loses his shit over this and gets in a nasty argument with the ultra-genius co-protagonist of the story, which causes a fallout between them.
Then he becomes one of the most based characters in the story.
So I gather that the anime adapted the least interesting part of it. I liked it, so I think I'll just watch it again and pick up the manga from there.
Just read the damn manga all the way.
Nah, unless I miss out on anything major, I'll watch the anime until that point.
Zenkichi was always based and until Kumagawa and Kamome he didn't have much competition
I havent read that manga but that looks like a very sad scene.
Pain but I knew he would find a way through this
medaka box was kinda shit
I mean you'll be missing out on any subtleties and a bunch of dialogue meant for later in the series but cut to fit a 12 episode anime run but sure, knock yourself out.
Alright, I'll do just that.
(you)
Go back from whence you came newfag
I'e been here for three years at most and even i know what the fuck that is
A CUTE!
The only bait there is the kinda, Medaka Box is godawful dogshit. Kumagawa is not enough to make up for Medaka alone, and she's not the only absolutely shit part.
