Line 15:
== Medaka is a [[Humanoid Abomination]] / [[Cosmic Horror]] in a human shell ==
After what was revealed about Medaka's inner self in chapter 55 and the severe [[Creepy Child]] vibes she had in the flashback, it is reasonable to think that she's ''something else'' playing at being human with varying success. It'd explain her [[God Mode Sue]] ability to bend reality ([[Tropes Are Not Bad]]). Whether she actively knows this is another matter.
{{quote| '''Medaka (Chapter 55):'''Within a beast like me in an abnormality that a [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|human cannot withstand]].}}
* Well, [[Meaningful Name|"Kurokami" means "Dark God"!]]
 
Line 45:
Going on the above theories, and the name of one of Ajimu's skills. Maybe Zenkichi's original ability was Live Zero?
 
== Ajimi is a personification of the [[Kara no Kyoukai:|Void]] ==
Yeah, there is another one!
 
Line 53:
== Shiranui is an [[Emotion Eater]] ==
This [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/medaka_box/v08/c066/12.html page] states that she "swallows" people. This might be hinting to her ability to eat emotions especially negative emotions since she also states that Zenkichi is too sweet to swallow. There is also the [[Big Eater]] aspect of her character.
* Chapter 85 reveals the name of Shiranui's abnormality is [https://web.archive.org/web/20110225193719/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/medaka_box/v09/c084/20.html "Real Eater"], the actual effects of her "eating" Hinokage has yet to be determined.
** Add this theory with how it's said that the personality shapes the ability, considering how Hinokage's Mister Unknown becomes Theme Song, maybe her skill can manipulate somebody such that the skill would change.
** Well actually, it seems to run in the family. She can, in a similar way to Ajimu, trade someone's ability with another one.
 
== The actual Medaka is a dream and the dreamer is Zenkichi. ==
Idea behind this is the meaning of the [[Magical Girlfriend]] trope. The [[Magical Girlfriend]] is basically an imaginary friend, who are often more "perfect" than the child, who creates them, and always leading the child into new adventures, like Medaka did with the young Zenkichi.
 
When Zenkichi and Medaka met each other the first time, Medaka possessed no personality and Zenkichi was in an age, where children start to create this imaginary friends. Somehow, Medaka adopted Zenkichi´s idea of his "perfect" friend and became it! This is why Medaka is so idealistic: She is an ideal herself, a personification of Zenkichi´s own dreams as child. While Zenkichi grew up and start to saw the flaws of his ideals (and became a little cynic), Medaka kept her sometimes childish naive personality. Still, she is dependent on Zenkichi, as we see by her complete breakdown, whenever Zenkichi was close to death.
 
That´s said, it is not Zenkichi, who protects Medaka´s ideals. MEDAKA is the true guardian, always trying to uphold the ideals, even Zenkichi became to doubt, which allows Zenkichi to develop an realistic, but still optimistic view on the world.
Line 73:
* could possibly be the current [[Bigger Bad]]
 
== Ajimi is [[Lonely Atat the Top]] ==
Her entire motivation for starting the Flask Plan in the first place may have been simply to create other beings on her level.
 
== Ajimi is a [[Humanoid Abomination]] ==
* Similar to the WMG involving Medaka. Ajimi has the [[Orange and Blue Morality]] for a eldritch horror. But unlike Medaka in the WMG she is not benevolent.
 
== Zenkichi will spend the rest of the arc trying to decipher the cryptogram ==
Line 93:
* Zenkichi as a child generally seemed extremely cheerful and optimistic. While you could dismiss it as simple maturity, he still seems to advocate the ideals that he once gave to Medaka. Knowing Isin, it may connect with this current {{spoiler|Zenkichi vs Medaka arc}}
 
== [[JustAll AsAccording Plannedto Plan|Everything since the first genre shift has been an elaborate plan by the author]] ==
* Not necessarily in the "meticulously plans out the entire plot" way, but more in a "what? My story's not doing so well so I should change the genre? Fuck you, I'll show ''you'' genre change" way.
** The first part is simple enough: take the original premise, file off the romance subplot into standard characterization and then apply Medaka's sheer ridiculousness to the typical fight arc.
Line 103:
* Part Five: Profit.
** I applaud you sir. I had a similar theory, but your explination sounds better.
* This seems to be a theme in Nisio's works. ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'', ''[[Katanagatari]]''...fighting is ultimately meaningless in them too.
 
== Sukinasaki is going to be the final villain to be effectively beaten in Shonen-style, and Najimu Ajimi will end up being [[The Unfought]] ==
Line 114:
The Sheer amount of fourth wall breaking on her part, and the implications that the entire plot is a product of her imagination turned into reality very strongly suggests that Najimi is both the Author Avatar and a Self-insert genderbended version of Nisio himself.
