* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Zenkichi- A person only motivated by a [[Subordinate Excuse]] and following Medaka's justice, or a truly heroic character who simply gets stressed with the burden of helping people? Or Both?
* [[Anti-Sue]]: Class -13 and the rest of the -Abnormals; Combining [[Blessed
* [[Arc Fatigue]]: The fighting-manga arc has been going on pretty much nonstop since the series came close to being canceled (see [[Genre Shift]] below). They stopped for a single chapter, if only for exposition to introduce the new set of villains, then jumped right back in.
* [[Ass Pull]]: ''Lots''. Especially with combat -- [[Tropes Are Not Bad|not that it was handled badly.]] That is, until {{spoiler|Naze Youka being Medaka's never-mentioned-before older sister Kujira.}} There are hints (her eyes being the same as {{spoiler|Medaka's and Maguro's }} being the main one) but only subtle ones, and it still feels like a huge stretch.
Line 26:
* [[God Mode Sue]]: The titular Medaka. Interestingly enough, the story starts deconstructing the concept of a [[Mary Sue]] as it goes on. It turns out she's very good at mimicking other people's abnormalities, minus the downsides.

[[Hate Dumb|Some readers just didn't get the memo that it was meant to be a comedy]].
** Subverted in that the entirety of the -13 class has similar, extremely bad "-Abnormalities", such as the ability to rot anything and everything they touch -- including buildings. A character even specifically states [[Contrived Coincidence|the -13 class is basically Medaka's perfect enemy]], since she can't even approach some of them without absorbing mental illness or [[Blessed
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with Ajimu Najimi, who has several quadrillion superpowers. It's as absurd as it sounds, intentionally so.
* [[I Knew It!]]: That Misogi would {{spoiler|would join the student council as Vice-President.}}
