Medaka Box is a manga series by author NisiOisiN (of Bakemonogatari fame), and artist Akatsuki Akira (of his "fame" as the ero-artist RIROLAND), about the paragon and all-around perfect student Medaka Kurokami, who is elected as the President of Hakoniwa Academy's student council by 98% of the student body. Possessed of a forceful personality, charisma, and incredible ability, she is accompanied by her loyal and snarky childhood friend Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, who has been at her side for over thirteen years.Her first act is to set up a suggestion box where students can put in requests, which comes to be known as the Medaka Box. The series initially follows a standard formula where Medaka selects a request for help, then drags Zenkichi along into a complicated situation which is usually resolved by the chapter's end. For each completed request, Medaka has a potted flower brought into the Student Council room. Over the course of several chapters, Medaka manages to recruit two more members for the Student Council.Thirteen chapters later, the series undergoes a Genre Shift: multi-chapter story arcs become the norm as Medaka discovers the existence of other students with inhuman abilities like herself known as Abnormals. There are also other students called Specials whose talents are not quite at an Abnormal level, and regular students like Zenkichi who do not possess any particularly special traits. All of them have been assembled under the auspices of Hakoniwa Academy's chairman, Hakama Shiranui. The whole Academy exists to support a project called the Flask Plan, whose goal is to mass-produce perfect humans by duplicating Abnormal talents in normal people.And things only get more complicated from there.Medaka Box went from a quirky Slice of Life high school comedy to a fighting manga, then Serial Escalation as each Big Bad's defeat brought a newer, more dangerous one onto the scene. An anime adaptation by Studio Gainax was announced; the first season aired from April 4 through June 21, 2012. A second season subtitled Abnormal ran between October 11 and December 27, 2012.Making use of Misogi Kumagawa's groundbreaking popularity in the manga, Nisio and Akira released a Spin-Off one-chapter story with the aforementioned character, entitled Good Loser Kumagawa, published in Jump NEXT Magazine on December 26th, 2011, followed by a two volume Light Novel series of the same title. A "concluding chapter" of the Spin-Off was released in Summer 2013.The series finished its run in Double Issue 22-23 in May 2013, after four years of serialization. According to its own wiki, the series contains eight story arcs: Student Council Executive Arc (Chapters 1-21) Thirteen Party Arc (Chapters 22-55) Kumagawa Incident Arc (Chapters 56-92) Kurokami Medaka's Successor Arc (Chapters 93-140) Jet Black Bride Arc (Chapters 141-158) Unknown Shiranui Arc (Chapters 159-185) Bouquet Toss To The Future Arc (Chapters 186-190) Epilogue Arc (Chapters 191-192)Viewers in the US may watch the anime legally at Crunchyroll.Now with its own card game! | |

Heroic BSoD: Akune says that Medaka experienced one the summer after her middle school encounter with Kumagawa. Kumagawa has one (see below). Medaka has a huge one when she loses the election in chapter 139. She nearly reverts to her unhappy childhood self and once again begs Zenkichi to tell her what her purpose in life is. | |

WorfEffect | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_15e76b62 | comment |
Worf Effect: Played with. Hinokage was introducted as a powerful character, but he had to retreat, when Kumagawa and two other Minuses decided to gang up against him. However, the only thing that was hurt was his pride. Until chapter 72, wherein he doesn't figure out the new Minus's superpower in time to defend against it, leading to his defeat, alongside the rest of the student council. Zenkichi is often used to show how threatening a new antagonist is. During Medaka's fight with the Enforcers, he and the other Student Council members were already incapacitated by the explosion Myouri created. Oudo easily subdues Zenkichi in their first encounter, and Kumagawa plays with Zenkichi during their Student Council battle. In chapter 163, Iihiko manages to defeat Zenkichi, Kumagawa, and Ajimu almost effortlessly. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Originally it was thought this was what Ajimu was Genre Savvy, with her knowing about plot armor and making references to other Shonen Jump serieses. Then it was discovered that believing one is in a manga is a literal mental disorder in the Medaka Box universe, a result of a dangerous detachment from reality that results in self destructive behavior until they fail at something, at which point their belief in reality is restored. Unfortunately, Ajimu, being a near Physical God, simply can't fail at something... | |

Genre Shift | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Episode 9 of Season 1 plays this trope straight as well, which is also the beginning of the Genre Shift from a rather light-hearted comedy into a more serious affair with lots of violence and stuff blowing up or being broken down. | |

| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Medaka manages to force Oudo to apologize and join her by making him realize she's not only the master of her abnormality(s) but also powered by a very dark place. This is also how she recruits the rest of her Student Council, and other allies besides. The people Medaka and the student council defeated in earlier episodes, such as Unzen and Munakata show up to help the student council against Plus Six in episode 8 of Season 2 after they find themselves in a rather desperate situation with Medaka having been captured. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Kumagawa: 「IF THIS IS THE WEEKLY SHOUNEN JUMP, THEN THIS BULLYING SCENE SHOULD BE REGULATED.」 Naze: "It'll continue after the commercial break. The Demon Queen Naze-chan's Minus Nullify System!" Said right before the chapter ends. Ajimu constantly plays with the Fourth Wall, making constant references to the magazine the manga is run in. She even names 21 Shonen Jump manga in a row in Chapter 116 when trying to enlist Zenkichi into her current plan. And in chapter 127 she directly says that any manga that goes on for more than ten volumes is coasting, so she is going to end this story before the anime begins. This also occurs in episode 12 of Season 2, where Ajimu at first introduces herself and the Flask Plan, then talks about Good Loser Kumagawa. Then the actual episode shows him doing things when he was at another school, which up to this point had nothing to do with the main characters. It's eventually revealed that the fourth-wall-breaking is Ajimu's mental instability: because she's so extraordinary she believes there's no way this could be reality. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Kumagawa is terrifying. Everyone who meets him, even other Minuses to an extent, are afraid of him. Zenkichi needed special training aimed solely towards suppressing his fear before fighting him. Even Hinokage is unnerved by Kumagawa. All of the Class Minus 13 except Shiranui qualifies, to various degrees, as their despair and lack of restraint are considered as dangerous as their powers. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty/Villainous Breakdown: Misogi Kumagawa in Chapter 70 after Zenkichi decides to kill him, even if he has to kill himself at the same time. Although it turns out to be just an act. In fact, Kumagawa seems to intentionally parody this trope by randomly bursting into tears when no one expects him to. When the mask actually comes off, he's cold, polite, and with dead eyes that have simply stopped caring. Medaka chooses this approach in dealing with Momo to dissuade her from ever challenging her again. | |

Ax-Crazy | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: Unzen and his sister, who is slightly worse due to the fact that she's actually crazy. Munakata, natural-born killer who is said to have murdered at the age of five in order to answer the question "If I kill them, will they die?" (paraphrased) "I don't kill for no reason, I have reasons to kill. I'll kill you because I don't want to fight you. I'll kill you because you're in my way. I'll kill you because the weather's nice. I'll kill you because my phone's batteries are low. I'll kill you because I had a good dream. I'll kill you because I'm in a hurry. And I'll kill you for no reason at all. (To Medaka in particular) I'll kill you because the chairman told me not to." Subverted when it's revealed in chapter 37 that he's never actually killed anyone, but keeps up the facade to avoid temptation. | |

| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: Ajimu's plan to shift the role of main character from Medaka to Zenkichi actually suceeds, however it's played with because she really wanted to prove there were things that even she couldn't do. She then decides that she's had enough before Medaka intervenes. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Kujira Kurokami feels this way about herself, as she believes that genius cannot thrive without severe hardship. Hinokage Kuudou is known as "Mr. Unknown", as his abnormality means people neither see or remember him as while he's huge and friendly, he's also so intimidating that most people want to forget his very existence. Medaka, by learning and mastering skills, caused anyone who saw her do so to lose hope of ever becoming great in their field and falling into despair. This means that practically any teacher she's had has pretty much given up and retired just from watching her progress. Were it not for Hinokage Kuudou's "Unknown Hero" talent, he'd probably cause this effect in people just from being seen. He is essentially so manly that anyone who sees him cannot help but feel completely inferior to him in comparison. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_355007c3 | comment |
Brilliant, but Lazy: Taken to extremes by Tachirai Kiruko, the head of the election committee who sleeps for 22 hours a day, has never been seen standing or even sitting, and is so opposed to doing work (her sleep mask even has "I CANNOT WORK" on it) that she was placed in Class A because no one knew what to do with her. When the treasure hunters reach her she doesn't even take off her sleep mask but instantly comes up with a difficult challenge for them. During the election arc, the fact that she stands up for the whole ceremony was considered a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, which resulted in the entire student body showing up for the voting. In the epilogue, it's revealed that Kiruko invented a cryogenic stasis chamber...which she used so she could get really good sleep. Or, Zenkichi posits, she believes that humanity will still be there when she wakes up in a hundred, or even a thousand years. | |

Anguished Declaration of Love: In chapter 70, after being blinded by Kumagawa, Zenkichi rejects Kumagawa's We Can Rule Together offer and takes the opportunity to tell Medaka that he enjoyed the good and bad times they had together. An anxious Medaka tells him to stop talking as if he's about to die right before he drops himself and Kumagawa into a snake-filled pit. . Emukae makes a spectacular love confession to Zenkichi during the Jet Black Bride Arc despite knowing he loves Medaka. Zenkichi apologizes for not being able to return her feelings by stabbing himself in the stomach (he gets better). | |

Death Is Cheap: By the time the Thirteen Party Arc ends, there are people dying. However, the deaths are quickly undone. Thanks to Kumagawa's ability, death just doesn't stick. The Unknown Shiranui Arc has Iihiko, though. People killed by Iihiko stay dead. Given that he ends up killing most of the cast, though, this is probably also unlikely to stick. | |

Given that she says it as an analogy, she may just be Genre Savvy It turns out this is a known mental illness in the Medaka Box universe — people convince themselves that they are in a manga until something happens that restores their belief in reality — usually some form of spectacular failure.

Just as she's about to fall from the exhaustion she gets caught and hugged by Shiranui, who then stabs her clawed hand through her gut as she reveals that she is Iihiko. | |

Reality Warper: Chapter 71 confirms that this is the true nature of Kumagawa's "All-Fiction". Comes with a hitch, though: he can take things away but he can't restore them, because they "become nothing". He loses it for a while (specifically, he trades it in for a new power), and then when regains it there's a new limitation: he can't erase things with strong feelings attached to them, like true love or strong memories. Near the end of the series he finally gets it back up to its original power. | |

Four Is Death: Medaka's "trump cards", as Zenkichi calls them. The first three involve Medaka using love and goodness to get people to see things her way. The fourth one is called Perseus/War God Mode, and apparently involves Medaka going all out on her enemies She later gains control of it, making it "Mars/Altered God Mode. There's a closeup shot of the wrist-bomb timer at 44:44:44:44. Ajimu's powers are an impossible-looking number that looks like this (not the actual number): 1,384,759,832,749,874.

Friendless Background | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_4a57732a | comment |
Friendless Background: Nearly every Abnormal in the series has had few or no friends before coming to Hakoniwa Academy. Zenkichi was Medaka's only real friend before she was elected to the Student Council. "Plus" Abnormals are bothered by this and want friends. "Minuses" have such horrific powers and/or are so disturbed that they have given up on the idea. | |

Power Copying | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_4c24a9ed | comment |
Power Copying: Medaka's ultimate power. She uses Naze's syringes, Munekata's hidden weapons, and Oudo's electrical powers against Zenkichi while straitjacketed to their respective "owners'" astonishment. In fact, Medaka's power allows her to completely master another's power, even if the originator hasn't mastered it themselves. It can be a double-edged sword. Miyakonojou Oudo also counts as his "Unreasonable Taxation" power can steal other people's Abnormalities. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Zenkichi shows signs of this in his fight with Munekata, by consistently being able to disarm the latter and learning how to disassemble pistols and a rocket launcher on the off chance he met someone who used one. Kujira planned for 40 different styles of battle she wound up fighting in a -40C freezer, but her specially-made unitard was good for -40 or 140C; in addition she stocked up on "normalizing" serum. | |

Played with regarding Kumagawa.

But until episode 12, viewers who only watched the anime so far haven't been formally introduced to him yet. | |

Pilot Episode: Chapter 0, which is retold as Chapters 1 and 2 and changes the dynamics of Medaka and Zenkichi's relationship — going from Zenkichi not being able to shout it out in the pilot to him openly admitting to his friends that he follows Medaka around because he's in love with her in the actual series. This romance subplot is dropped after the Genre Shift... somewhat. It's finally come full circle in Chapter 126. | |

If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Unzen, having been utterly defeated, was about to be finished off by Medaka, but not before taunting her by claiming she couldn't reform him and chose to kill him as an easy way out. He then continues taunting her by saying she'll turn into him once she starts to realize there are other humans she won't be able to reform like him around. She seems to ignore the "advice" until the other student council members stop her with a Cooldown Hug and invoking this trope, which immediately calms her down and confuses Unzen. | |

Munakata, natural-born killer who is said to have murdered at the age of five in order to answer the question "If I kill them, will they die?" (paraphrased) "I don't kill for no reason, I have reasons to kill. I'll kill you because I don't want to fight you. I'll kill you because you're in my way. I'll kill you because the weather's nice. I'll kill you because my phone's batteries are low. I'll kill you because I had a good dream. I'll kill you because I'm in a hurry. And I'll kill you for no reason at all. (To Medaka in particular) I'll kill you because the chairman told me not to." Subverted when it's revealed in chapter 37 that he's never actually killed anyone, but keeps up the facade to avoid temptation. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: In order to bring the the fight between him and Emukae versus the Hitoyoshis to a draw, Kumagawa removes the bomb-bracelets' keyholes. Emukae, who just had a heart-to-heart moment with Zenkichi and her Minus power neutralized by Kumagawa, removes the bombs and smothers the explosion with her own body. This causes Kumagawa to freak out since it was completely unnecessary, and then she politely refuses to be healed afterwards. Kumagawa himself gets to make one, opting to fight Munakata to the death in Kikaijima's defence. He claims that he feels strangely happy dying for a girl's sake. | |

Improbable Weapon User | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_6a2ae11f | comment |
Improbable Weapon User: Onigase Harigane, the School Morals Enforcer who uses handcuffs as brass knuckles and another enforcer who tried to hurt Akune by hitting him with a bicycle. Myouri Unzel uses rubbery superballs filled with gunpowder, while his sister Myouga wields four 30kg wrecking balls. Kumagawa uses giant screws to great effect. Hitomi Hitoyoshi somehow manages to use sewing needles, thread, and even garden shears in combat. The ultimate example, Iihiko, uses random objects he picks up; examples include eyeglasses placed over his hand to form brass knuckles that can break someone's arm, and a rubber band that he fires with his thumb and index finger to kill a god. | |

All Take and No Give: Ajimu believes this is the true nature of Medaka and Zenkichi's relationship. According to her, Zenkichi has been unfailingly devoted to Medaka out of his love for her, and she takes his loyalty for granted. Ajimu doesn't seem to approve of this situation, and bluntly states that Zenkichi was not born to serve Medaka. Present since Medaka starts to see no value in Zenkichi and begins to act very cold to him as a result. Even now just to be with Medaka he's sided with Ajimu and is undergoing the Flask plan albeit using different methods than the original mass murdering plan. | |

Non-Uniform Uniform | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_6cf4a648 | comment |
Non-Uniform Uniform: Everyone in the student council. The default student council uniform itself is black rather than the regular student white, supposedly to symbolize that the student council is meant to be servants to the student body. However, all the student council members have made their own modifications to the uniform: Medaka's uniform is very flattering to her figure, but the first thing people notice is the Cleavage Window showing off her impressive assets. Her skirt is also shorter than it should be. Zenkichi wore his jersey under his uniform jacket in an effort to look cool. The other members of the student council thought it was anything but. Akune lowered the neckline of his jacket and forgoes a shirt to show off his manly chest, intending to emulate Medaka's Cleavage Window Kikaijima wears her swimsuit underneath her uniform, although this is more because she feels extremely uncomfortable without it. | |

Most characters have matching given names with their location themed last names, meaningfully or punnily. | |

Stealth Hi/Bye | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_7012424f | comment |
Stealth Hi/Bye: Medaka does this often, usually to Zenkichi. Hilariously, she is usually in the same exact position he is in when she's seen, such that if he's pointing at something, she'll be pointing the same way. Less hilarious when you learn she is doing it because she is trying to find some way, any way, to relate to the rest of humanity, because she is so far past a normal human she just can't relate to or truly connect emotionally with a normal person, and is horribly, terribly, alone. Aside from Zenkichi of course. | |

Idiot Hair: Many, many characters have this. Medaka's and Shiranui's frequently twitch around in the anime. It also seems to be a genetic quirk of the Kurokami family. Every child of Kurokami Kajiki (including himself) has either a single or double ahoge. Specifically: Kajiki and Maguro have two, Medaka and Kujira have one. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Megusuno delivers a harsh one to Kumagawa in chapter 111 when he loses a contest of imagination to her. She explains that someone like Kumagawa can never beat her in such a contest because he honestly can't imagine that he can win — he has a self-defeating personality. She's basically calling him a loser in the most brutal way possible. | |

Awesome by Analysis: Maguro's talent is being the ultimate manager/coach, (especially to Medaka). He had also took over managing the Kurokami family's finances by the age of 13. Seems to be a family trait of the Kurokamis. Naze also uses this in her research into Abnormalities, and even Medaka is ultimately revealed to rely on this as the basis for her superpowers. | |

Continuity Cavalcade | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_813e694d | comment |
Continuity Cavalcade: Chapters 187 to 189 like WHOA, but Chapter 190 is what really takes the cake. The former show every single named character who has appeared so far as obstacles for Medaka to overcome. A few of which have only appeared in the light novels until now. Chapter 190 features individualized well wished from every single one of them by name, which may send less mindful readers scrambling to the wiki to attach faces to names. All in all, this suffices to exactly ONE HUNDRED individual characters with varying designs and personalities, many of which are in bit parts and were introduced in the first few chapters. Nishio has had then drop by every so often throughout the series, but this arc really shows how excessively large and diverse he made the world. | |

Logical Weakness | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_83641c73 | comment |
Not so much a weakness as a logical flaw. Medaka is essentially the ideal. Her abnormality is that she can gain and master any abilities/skills of those she comes into contact with. It has even gotten to where she only needs to hear details about an abnormality to gain and master it. However she can't 1. wrap her mind around defeat(true defeat) and always strives to succeed no matter what and 2. she can't understand others' hearts. Case and point during her fight against Zenkichi in Forsaken God Mode. Forsaken God Mode makes her weaker than her opponent. She beats Zenkichi and criticizes him for losing when she "couldn't go too far", not realizing that Zenkichi didn't want to fight her in the first place and held back. In short she lacks empathy, something which has become evident in the latest chapters. | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: Played with. Zenkichi , barring Parasite Eyes and later, Devil Style and Model Zenkichi, is the only "normal" one out of all the main characters. Despite this, he manages to get most of the fights and somehow keeps up with all the super powered people in this series. Maguro even calls him "normal cool" claiming that he is unique because he is normal. However, in the Kurokami Medaka’s Successor Arc, Najimi sends five normal girls to compete in Medaka's treasure hunt where they not only do better than Zenkichi (who came in dead last being unable to solve the first clue), they actually manage to make it to the final round and briefly manage to match Medaka. After noticing Zenkichi placing in dead last in the treasure hunt in comparison to the other normal people, Medaka throws him aside placing him directly under this trope in her eyes. Most of the school is subject to this by Medaka (no surprise). During the school festival, she engages in a huge tug of war with everyone (including all her former enemies) and WINS. The You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! moment afterward is an understatement. | |

Wham Episode: Happened at least twice. First, the arrival of Medaka's old nemesis, Kumagawa, to Hakoniwa, and Zenkichi's Deal with the Devil with Anshin'in. Chapter 156 has quite the wham ending, too. Medaka's true father, Kurokami Kajiki, is alive. And now, in chapter 162 and 163, we're introduced to what looks like a demon incarnate, Shishime Iihiko. As it turns out, he's one of the only people who Ajimu Najimi cannot defeat. How does he show off his power? By blowing Ajimu's body in half. With a RUBBER BAND. Chapter 170 throws an entirely new light on several characters and ties together the arcs since Ajimu's loss together into a new overarching plot. Tsurubami Fukuro is quite insane, planning to marry Shiranui in the place of his sister and niece. In fact, he set up Medaka's birth to try and create someone like his sister, but more lovable and then set up the Second Jet Black Wedding to free up Shiranui when that didn't work out. Episode 9 of Season 1 plays this trope straight as well, which is also the beginning of the Genre Shift from a rather light-hearted comedy into a more serious affair with lots of violence and stuff blowing up or being broken down. | |

Crazy Enough to Work | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_8f9f71a8 | comment |
Crazy Enough to Work: How Zenkichi beats Iihiko in the end. Since all Iihiko's attack are permanent and because they are locked in a battle consisting of One-Hit Kill attacks, it's crucial to dodge all of Iihiko's attacks. Getting hit on purpose in that scenario would be the most stupid thing to do, therefore it paradoxically enough works because of Zenkichi's newly acquired Contradictory Conjunction Style. | |

Arc Number | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_9203bf6 | comment |
Arc Number: The number 13 is all. There is Class 13 which is the class for abnormals. The 13 Party is made up of the 13 most abnormal students in Class 13. The Flask Plan facility underneath Hakoniwa Academy has 13 floors each with one of the 13 Party as the boss of a particular floor. Medaka Kurokami met Zenkichi Hitoyoshi and Misogi Kumagawa 13 years ago. There is the Minus 13 class made up of transfer students and led by Misogi Kumagawa. Maguro Kurokami was 13 years old when he took over the Kurokami family's finances. Also the number 98. Medaka Kurokami is the 98th Student Council President of Hakoniwa. She won with 98% of the vote and she has a 98% approval rating. This is later shown to be just a fluke. While Medaka is the 98th (and 99th) school president, she actually got closer to a 49% in her Approval Rating, and it's implied it would had even even less because some students, notably Shiranui, only voted for Medaka because they knew Medaka would have Zenkichi in her cabinet one way or another. The reason for this mistake is that so few of Hakinowa's students actually voted. | |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_9350a0b9 | comment |
The Tape Knew You Would Say That: A weird twist on the concept. In the Unknown Shiranui Arc, Kumagawa is in a coma and meets with an afterimage of Anshin'in-san, which she says is effectively a physical "video recording" made in the event of her death. Kumagawa immediately tries to peek up her skirt, and she kicks him in the head, saying "I can't see or hear you, but I still know how you think, so I'll throw in a kick right here for good measure. If it hits you, good for me." | |

Villainous Breakdown: Kumagawa starts to do this when the Student Council doesn't fall apart like he plans. When one of his own Minuses nearly gets herself killed for him is when he completely breaks down. Iihiko has a breakdown in the face of Medaka's refusal to give up on Shiranui even after he's pretty much won. He has an even greater one when he realizes he lost and he's about to die. | |

In the Blood: According Medaka's father, Kurokami Kajiki, abundance of love is a trait that runs in the Kurokami family's blood. He believes this is the source of Medaka's overflowing love for all of humanity and Maguro's obsession with his sisters. He also uses himself as an example by revealing that during his own Jet Black Wedding Feast, he married all of his suitors because his love couldn't settle with just one. | |

As Lethal as It Needs to Be: Nienami, one of Medaka's suitors, is capable of cutting a battleship in half with her sword abilities. Yet in her fight against Zenkichi, she only succeeds in cutting him up a bit. Well, obviously, Zenkichi is tougher than a battleship. Later, this is revealed to be a result of Nienami's style, which gives the least possible outcome. Zenkichi was considered the weakest of the student council but paradoxically had the greatest chance of winning. | |

Foreshadowing: Misogi Kumagawa was first mentioned in chapter 20 in a flashback as a negative figure in Medaka's past. He finally shows up in the present at the end of chapter 55. The master of ceremonies of the Jet Black Wedding Feast is dressed like a Bunny Girl. The third battle will take place on the moon. A character mentions that the moon base has a certain purpose. | |

Which may or may not be Actor Allusion or a Shout-Out to another blue-haired male leader of a bunch of delinquents who is also voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi. | |

Mood Whiplash: The Treasure Hunt ends with a giant group hug between the student council and the successors, and an overall feeling of a job well done...which is humorously undercut when Unzen asks where Zenkichi was during all this, and everyone finds him still stuck on the first puzzle. Then Medaka completely ruins the mood by punching Zenkichi in the head in front of everyone and coldly leaving him behind to clean up the clock tower on his own. | |

Healing Factor: For a time it seems that Kumagawa's power is also this, but actually he is a Reality Warper. Shibushi's power is explicitly stated to be the opposite: she can open all wounds no matter how long they've been healed... including mental ones. Medaka also has acquired this ability to the extent that she can repair any damage to her body shortly after getting them. | |

Meta Fiction | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_a63cfe4a | comment |
Meta Fiction Akune is a direct reference to a traditional manga hero, and how the male part of the audience tends to turn that character into a pointless destroyer in fanfiction, whereas the female part turns the same concept into a bishonen on a white stallion, but then having that character mature beyond them, learn from their viewpoints, and move onwards. It is explicitly stated, but still a bit of a Genius Bonus. Ajimu drags the story kicking and screaming into metafiction because she sees Medaka's life like a manga with Medaka as the protagonist and herself as the seemingly unstoppable villain. In order to try to beat her she even shifts the genre of the story so that the story has more use of Zenkichi as protagonist in order to defeat her. | |

Odd Friendship: The monumentally self-absorbed Oudo and small, quiet Mizou. It turns out their partnership is due to their complementary powers. Genki Girl Koga's best friend is the gloomy, antisocial Youka Naze. Shibushi and Gagamaru despite being have completely opposite powers and personalities. Unzen and Nekomi are often seen together during the Kumagawa Incident Arc and seem to get along surprisingly well, despite Unzen being a very dedicated Knight Templar in contrast to Nekomi's more easygoing nature. | |

Motive Misidentification | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_aa3d3d1a | comment |
Motive Misidentification: Several people think that Medaka's No Sense of Personal Space antics are just one more way in which she's "exceptional." Specifically, Bukiko Udou and even Zenkichi himself believed that Medaka is incapable of loving someone romantically, so she doesn't see anything special about hugging or kissing others if it makes them happier. The truth is a bit more complicated; Medaka was so moved at Zenkichi saving her by giving her a reason to live when they met, she proposed marriage to him when they were two years old. Since Zenkichi obviously turned her down then, she'd spent the next fifteen years just being thankful her crush let her spend time with him even if he didn't reciprocate. | |

Defector from Paradise | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_aa8535da | comment |
Defector from Paradise: A less broad home-based example is presented. It is eventually revealed that Medaka's older sister, Naze Youka ran away from home at a young age because her home was too idyllic. She had wealthy supportive parents, an older brother and younger sister who loved her, and everybody was eager to help her make the most of her genius intellect. Her personal philosophy, however, boiled down to "Adversity Makes You Stronger", and the huge number of advantages she enjoyed got in the way of that. In the end, she not only abandoned wealth and privilege, she also concealed her beautiful face (to avoid preferential treatment based on looks), erased her own memory to avoid clinging to the past, and deliberately set herself up as a feared outcast in a new school. Only then could her genius TRULY blossom! | |

De-power: After the ten year timeskip, almost everyone has lost their abilities due to growing up. Only Shiranui and Naze Youka seem to have kept theirs. | |

| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_af9ca7d2 | comment |
Rubber Face: Medaka does this to herself in episode 2 of Season 2, after Zenkichi mentions that she had a big smile on her face after meeting Oudo for the first time. Zenkichi does this to Kikaijima in the next episode after the latter screams to help Medaka to figure out the layout of the area they were at using sonar. However, to him and Akune, it sounded like a really loud, ear-piercing scream. Kumagawa also does this to Medaka while she's holding a speech to mock her. | |

| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: When his opponents are amazed or try to pinpoint his power to deflect trauma, Gagamaru often just dismiss it by saying it was just an "unexpected accident". Kumagawa has 「Once again I couldn't win」 and 「It's not my fault.」 Munekata has "So I'll kill you." | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: In episode 10, right before Medaka leaves the music room, she asks Shiranui to prevent Unzen from leaving and attempting to stop her from saving the Student Council members. She does that by simply blocking the door, then stating that Unzen can't touch her because she hasn't broken any school rules, which Onigase "confirms" while remembering everything the girl did. It seems to work, as he then pulls out his smart phone so he could at least watch the Public Morals Committee take them out. Then in episode 11, he kicks the wall, creating a new "exit", to which Shiranui says she has no jurisdiction over that one when he asks if she has any objection to leaving that way. | |

Genius Bonus | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_b3d1b7e3 | comment |
Akune is a direct reference to a traditional manga hero, and how the male part of the audience tends to turn that character into a pointless destroyer in fanfiction, whereas the female part turns the same concept into a bishonen on a white stallion, but then having that character mature beyond them, learn from their viewpoints, and move onwards. It is explicitly stated, but still a bit of a Genius Bonus. | |

Shadow Archetype: There are a number of parallels between characters, especially in terms of contrasting motives. Medaka and the Class 13, both of whom seek people to relate to in spite of their overwhelming and alienating abilities. Akune and Wanizuka, who highlight how stupidly devoted they become to their object of affection. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Kikaijima's debut chapter as Medaka's Treasurer involves her and Zenkichi awkward trying to socialize, culminating in her trying to forcefully kiss him. Medaka and Akune come in on this and simply chastise them for not picking a more discreet location than the Student Council office, despite both using it as a changing room. Kumagawa says How unfair! Attacking before the opponent levels up! in chapter 117 when Medaka attacks Zenkichi to start a fight after he challenges her considering that is the exact same thing the Minuses did during the Kumagawa Incident Arc. When Momo Momozono explains Professor Fukurou's actions, Kumagawa and Ajimu both question how someone who's supposed to have died can be doing any of that. | |

When All You Have Is a Hammer… | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_bf698238 | comment |
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: In episode 3 of Season 2, some guards taunt Zenkichi that Hard Work Hardly Works, and that he'll never guess the number needed to open a security door, due to it being a one in a million chance of getting it correct. Akune mentions they could try a million different combinations, give up and leave, or just beat the door down. He then comments that it only took about a hundred and fifty whacks, not the million the guards claimed, and mocks the guards with the trope they tried on Zenkichi by proving that hard work can pay off. After Medaka's group gets caught in the Nursery Rhyme user Kotobuki Jougan's style, they're regressed to children. Medaka immediately goes on and thoroughly explains her analysis of the style's effect, but Kumagawa just chooses to attack head on with his usual screws. | |

It may just be a reference the Translator, Editor, or Scanlator popped in, but on page 12 & 13 of chapter 36, Zenkichi asks for some encouraging words, so Medaka says "GO GET HIM TIGER!", something a certain Mary Jane character used to say to Peter Parker. Whether or not this is an actual example though, I am not too sure. One of Ajimu Najimi's powers, the "Heart Governing Skill" is called "Let your powers combine". Zenkichi's mom was formerly known as the "Licensed Black Jack". | |

Seppuku | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_c78d3e08 | comment |
Seppuku: Zenkichi stabs himself in the stomach as an apology for being unable to return Emukae's feelings after her spectacular love confession (she knew he couldn't return her feelings but she did it anyway). His wound was partially healed by Kumagawa, who apologizes that his abilities aren't as strong; Zenkichi doesn't mind since the wound is a good reminder of his stupidity. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_c868a42a | comment |
In the early chapters, Medaka always attempts to justify the wrongdoings of other by theorizing that they have some Freudian Excuse, by saying stuff like: "You were undoubtedly once passionate kendo club lovers. I can only presume that there's some great reason, some great tragedy which has lead you astray" as an example from the first chapter. When she first shows her fourth trump card, War God Mode, against Unzen though, she begins the battle by saying "How pathetic. I'm sure you were once a cute kid walking down the right path. And I can only think that something really painful happened to you that made you like this. HOWEVER!! EVEN IF THAT'S THE CASE!! YOU ARE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!!!". | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: In chapter 70, after being blinded by Kumagawa, Zenkichi rejects his offer (restored eyesight in exchange for Zenkichi's loyalty), says goodbye to Medaka and stomps the arena floor hard enough to drop both him and Kumagawa into the pit of snakes. After it becomes clear that Kujira has bested Shibuki, Kumagawa tells her to lose spectacularly and kill everyone (except him, of course) with her ultimate Scardead power. After Dr. Fukurou is killed by Iihiko, he is revealed to have had one final style in the event of his death: The Testament Style. It pulls the moon towards the Earth so its impact will kill absolutely everything. | |

After knocking him down, they insult him about his lack of power without All Fiction...only to get nailed to the wall by Kumagawa in a flash, all five of them, and if this was the old him, they probably would have been dead. | |

Serial Escalation: Everything Medaka does qualifies: her running skills, her cycling skills, her inteligence, and even her stupidity! You know what, let's just say Medaka herself. This also seems to apply to her siblings. In chapter 140, Medaka stops the manga from ending. That's right, a character in the story decided it wasn't going to end. | |

Misery Builds Character | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_ce6487aa | comment |
Misery Builds Character: Kujira Kurokami based her life on the saying, "Something amazing can only be made after seeing hell" believing that being happy would keep her from reaching her potential. Thus, she forced this trope on herself, even going so far as to run away from her comfortable lifestyle, change her name, conceal her face, and erase her memory of her family. Oudo knew his powers could make him a king, but attempted to avoid abusing them by living on the streets and trying to avoid harming bystanders. Unfortunately, he was unable to control his power and subsequent megalomania, and he ended up joining the Flask Plan. | |

Magnetic Hero | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_d0f63e83 | comment |
Magnetic Hero: Medaka Kurokami. Zenkichi qualifies as well, due to his ability to befriend people and accept them, regardless of their status except maybe Kumagawa Even the Minuses who meet him — people who by definition don't want friends — are drawn to him helping to reform Emukae. Zenkichi qualifies for this to even more of a status than Medaka. While Medaka's Magneti Hero qualities are just described, Zenkichi earned the friendship, love or at least respect of almost all of the characters by Chapter 142. This means he has earned the love of most of the major female characters - there is only one character with another romantic connection, Akune and Wanizuka Shori, and Shori even ends up on Zenkichi's student council. Then there's his friendship with Akune, Mogana, Kumagawa, Maguro, Naze, Munakata, Tsurubami, Kanoya, Hyuyga, Torai, Shori and win the approval of 62% of the popular vote in the election. He also won the apparent love of Medaka, Nabeshima, Emukae, Shiranui and Najimi Ajimu. There's also an implied romantic spark between him and Medaka's sister. Plus, he managed to hold on to Medaka's love since he was two years old. Dude needs to share his cologne. | |

The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_d1c375db | comment |
The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort: Zenkichi states that this is the common weakness shared by the strongest students at the academy: they never dodge their opponents' first attack (Medaka being an exception thanks to the "Auto-Pilot" Abnormality she copied before). Any attack that could take them out of the fight in one hit will work on them. | |

Hoist By Her Own Petard: Medaka of all people. Maguro's analysis of Medaka losing to Zenkichi claims cutting off Zenkichi was this, as she was trying to become someone who would be useful to the many strangers that needed help. However to other people it would just look like throwing her childhood friend. Maguro claims this is one of the reasons that few people voted for Medaka. This and the fact that they wished to set her free. It wasn't really clear which. | |

Holding Out for a Hero: In chapter 138, Zenkichi calls out the rest of the student body on relying way too much on Medaka to solve their problems. He claims that they were Medaka's true enemy all along. The crowd apparently agreed. Ajimu claims this is why they voted against Medaka — not because they feared her, but because they wanted to release her from the burden they placed on her. | |

Everyone Can See It: Medaka and Zenkichi, Maguro ships them, as does Mukae. Up to the Successor Arc there is only a shortage of an actual mention of the word LOVE. Will go through hell for her? Check. Will do anything to stay at her side? Check. Will challenge inhuman teenagers that defy logic? Triple check. And for the other side, Will have a mental breakdown when he is hurt? CHECK twice at that. "I only need him" declaration? More than once. Reaction to the idea of his rejection? Let herself erase every single concept of her new personality just to make him happy (doubles for him when he stops her just to tell her that he will always support her even changed). This list could be expanded. | |

The 99th Student Council bares more than a passing resemblance to to the Justice League. Medaka with her wining the Superpower Lottery and Magnetic Personality is clearly Superman. Zenkichi has to keep up with people well out of his league in power by being Crazy-Prepared, and viewed as the Strategist is the group's Batman. Akune's Judo Club and as well as his self confidence and brash nature are a clear parallel to Wonder Woman. Kikaijima's proficiency in water as well as her ostracized standing bare more than a passing resemblance to Aquaman | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Both Medaka and Ajimu have a short of Catchphrase that gets subverted at one point to show that shit's about to hit the fan. In the early chapters, Medaka always attempts to justify the wrongdoings of other by theorizing that they have some Freudian Excuse, by saying stuff like: "You were undoubtedly once passionate kendo club lovers. I can only presume that there's some great reason, some great tragedy which has lead you astray" as an example from the first chapter. When she first shows her fourth trump card, War God Mode, against Unzen though, she begins the battle by saying "How pathetic. I'm sure you were once a cute kid walking down the right path. And I can only think that something really painful happened to you that made you like this. HOWEVER!! EVEN IF THAT'S THE CASE!! YOU ARE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!!!". In Ajimu's case she's always insisting that people call her by her nickname "Anshin'in-san", but when Iihiko calls her that she actually admits that he's the only one she doesn't want to call her that. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Medaka makes a habit of this. One example had her kicking through a cement wall just because she heard a name that sounded familiar. Through several rooms and at least one floor down in a subterranean research lab. And in Chapter 44, "The Loser Team" consisted of several defeated opponents, including two from Class 13 and Myouri Unzen. Special mention goes to Medaka in Chapter 73, wherein she shows up to save /Koga Itami off screen... But only after Shiranui warned her, complete with a very mild What the Hell, Hero? speech when she initially refused to interfere. | |

Wall Crawl | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_ed98f038 | comment |
Wall Crawl: Koga Itami, Miyakonojou Oudo, Medaka Kurokami, and Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, although it severely winded the latter. To be fair, Zenkichi was only using his legs while simultaneously carrying a girl half his size straight up a building as a 'normal' person. | |

Last Episode, New Character | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_f09b6509 | comment |
Last Episode, New Character: A few examples: Played straight with Ajimu in episode 12 of Season 2, who hasn't been formally introduced yet in the anime up to this point. Also played straight with Sukinasaki Saki. Played with regarding Kumagawa. He's seen in a Flash Back with Medaka when she was visiting a hospital (he's the little boy who talks to her prior to Zenkichi), and he's seen again at the end of episode 11 in Season 2. But until episode 12, viewers who only watched the anime so far haven't been formally introduced to him yet. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Oudo apologizes to Medaka for his wrongdoings - including nearly killing two people and trying to brainwash her. Medaka forgives him instantly, with no hard feelings afterwards. Of course, that was only after Oudo was so thoroughly humbled, that he swore to change his egotistic ways. This applies to most of Medaka's enemies including Kumagawa, who she appoints as her vice-president, due to his ability to disagree with her. | |

And in chapter 155, before the start of the final word game, Momozono makes a deal with Medaka that includes that if the latter loses the bet, Medaka will have to gouge her own eyes out. | |

Running Gag | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: If someone is in the foreground in a dramatic pose of some sort, chances are Medaka is right behind them making the exact same pose. Given a Cerebus Retcon after the Genre Shift, where it's revealed that Medaka is simply aping other people's movements (in addition to their abilities) because she doesn't know how to properly behave like a normal human. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: In episode 2, after a track girl's shoes were destroyed by a jealous teammate, the culprit is found out and questioned. Although Medaka seems to let her off, the second girl is overcome with guilt about what she did, so she takes the first girl's sneakers (which she was using due to her destroyed track shoes), and replaces it with a letter of apology along with a brand new pair of track shoes. However, Medaka gets angry at the fact that the first girl's sneakers were now stolen. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Medaka Box (Manga) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming Location Theme Naming: The surnames of all characters are locations in Kyushu, southern Japan. Animal Theme Naming The Kurokami family - Kajiki (swordfish), Maguro (tuna), Kujira (whale), and Medaka (Japanese killifish). There's a reason why one of them is a mammal. The Tsurubami family seems to favour bird names - Kamome (seagull), Fukurou (owl), and Hato (dove/pigeon). The tsuru in Tsurubami means "crane". Shiranui family has clothing themed Meaningful Names: Hansode (a short sleeved outfit), Hakama (kimono trousers), Obi (kimono sash) and Hanten (short coat). All three members of the swim club have the character for "island" (shima) in their last names. The classes of skills are Plus, Minus, Not Equal, and Zero. | |
