Y'know, actually, the real reason for that, considering how much of the later plot is based on puns, features, and kanji interpretations of Japanese language, was realization that all screen will be covered by explaining subtitles, and you wouldn't be able to watch and understand what's happening simultaneously.
1.- He never used it at its fullest otherwise he might just end up erasing all reality 2.- Against Medaka or Anshin'in it useless because medaka has plot armor and Anshin'in can both nulify and take away all fiction from him. 3.- For the rest, he just chooses to loose
@@cuentaoficialmentesinnombr3613 Misogi doesn't choose to lose, he WILL lose one way or another even if he won (like with ezumachi stabbing him in the eye even tho he killed him. he said he lost).
what i love is that the artists actually removed the blue value from all the color in this shot too. like they literally went to the rgb values and just set blue to 0
@@brianhakins4692 The biggest problem is that it started as a slice of life, then changed genre to pretty fun school battle genre, then to a jojo-like challenges/games and then to adventure, it's all over the place and glorious. And the characters develop really well. That's why I wish the anime had more seasons, because it doesn't cover nearly enough and it has the weakest part of all.
@@DwarfDaddy Not in the slightest. Medaka has super enhanced human abilities. Her biggest rival has the power called all fiction. Meaning he can make anything that exists, has happened or will happen, to have never happened and warp reality, he can even erase colors from the world, he can make his death not have happened and so much more. So it's really interesting how she manages to defeat him and he is in the middle of the story/manga, after that the manga transitions from a witty fighting genre, to a witty games and challenges genre. It's all over the place and it's absolutely great. Given I've read it... literally 10 years ago at this point, I have only great memories from the moment the manga was no longer slice of life.
I watched the whole show just for this guy and it was the last episode that he was even mentioned. Needless to say I was devastated. Such a crush on that guy
An argument can be made for black. Colors are light reflections, and black is the absence of light, therefore it could be considered an absence of color... the problem is that if you consider black an absence of color, then where does that leave transparent matter like air, water or glass?
Black was never really a color since its just absence of color but white,we can argue with the ANIMEtors(see what i did there) when it comes to "white not being a color"
A combination of all fiction and Bookmaker is a DEADLY COMBO, kumagawa is definitely not one to underestimate… And also the fact he was the ONLY person in existence who sealed the likes of Najimi for x amount of years should speak a lot of his character itself.
Kuroudo Akabane from GetBackers. Works basically like All Fiction but as a passive effect, plus its on a character who isn't destined to always lose, but rather on a frankly terrifying villain.
Fun fact: Kumagawa has same VA as Yuta Akkotsu from Jujutsu Kaisen: The Movie, Doctor from Akudama Drive, Hanako from TBHS, Shinji Ikari from Evangelion and Nagito Komaeda from Dangaronpa
I love that that the giant screws he fights with are pretty much just for dramatic effect since he has more fun fighting that way than actually using All Fiction
Just thought of a nice backstory for Kumagawa. Perhaps as a child he was tortured by having screws screwed into himself, this forced him to use his minus for the first time, as he wished that they would go away. Instantly removing the screws from his flesh and bones. I haven't read the manga so I don't know if they reveal his backstory or anything, just thought this would be a logical explanation of his use of screws.
+SehrBA Yeah, just read some forum posts on that. I would've read the whole manga through if er...Medaka didn't exist...Seriously don't like how 90% of the manga is spent worshiping her and her friends...*Cringe*
@@fobytevernorgets9374 Very late but I thought the screws where there because Kumagawa is a nihilist meaning he rejects most societal values and is saying screw you by well literally screwing them
He was born as the biggest loser in the world and couldn’t handle existing ad no matter what he did, he failed. He become the literal opposite of a narcissist and saw no meaning in existing since he would never win, so his screws are essentially his coping mechanism so he can literally screw people over like how the world screwed him over. His actual Minus is called book maker, when he screws a person over, he can bring them down to his level, anyone he screws over gets to experience life as the biggest loser in existence, all fiction is his way of erasing those losses and faults as a coping mechanism.
Fun Fact: Yami Yugi had the same Voice actor as Kumagawa. The two most insane characters that sound like villians more than they soind like protaginists have the same voice. Makes sense honestly.
If you're asking why he doesn't just undo the painter existence, it's becuse it would be boring and he isn't a real threat to Kumagawa anyway. If you're asking why he doesn't erease Ajimu, it's because All Fiction doesn't affect her at all, she has more than 10^16 skills including one which let her negate all power which would completely block All fiction, and even when she let herself be affected by skills it's still not enough to do more than banishing her but still letting her interact with people through their dreams.
Despite everything, he never once in his life ever using All Fiction seriously. To him, All Fiction was just a neat little magic trick. That's why the question like "why not just delete the world?" is non existent to him, if that makes any sense.
Those who wonder. Anshinin is one of the most OP Hax characters ever. How powerful and broken she is you might ask, well All Fiction which is reality manipulation is a joke to her.
That artist guy - he looks like Kakyoin and made protagonist to look like Giorno. If I did't know better, I'd start asking whether it's a reference to a certain anime/manga series......
Just an explanation for all you people wondering how Kumagawa would ever lose when he can literally erase cause and effect. All Fiction as an ability is extremely easy to activate and Kumagawa could at any time accidentally erase all of existence so he constantly keeps it in check, it’s abilities are also pretty much irreversible so Kumagawa always has to make the best decision for the scenario which obviously takes a lot of time. Kumagawa was also born the unluckiest person in the world and views himself as the greatest loser and only desires for a fair victory, All Fiction is an ability that is essentially in direct contrast to his mindset and only further drives his insecurities and he sees using it as losing because it literally erases any loss and anything he couldn’t do. In short Kumagawa’s entire character contrasts All Fiction, so when he uses it, to him it makes it so he can never win, Kumagawa is just really bad at using All Fiction and his mindset literally stops him from winning without “cheating”. He’s still one of if not the most broken characters in fiction yet he would lose to almost anyone because of his character, the plot literally demands for him to lose.
Ive never seen this anime but from your description of i guess this episode? This sounds almost conceptually identical to a certain magical index. Specifically the encounter between touma and the guy using ars magna.
@@Mr_sigmaballsIt's because of his ability to erase concepts as well. He's not the strongest, but he's pretty far up there. Even here, erasing just the color blue, likely means that he's erased a color on a universal scale. It gets even crazier depending on hownyou choose to perceive how he did so. Living beings perceive color by how light reflects off of surfaces, and what types of colors are absorbed by said surface. The less destructive shortcut is erasing humanity's ability to perceive the color blue. However, what is being implied here, is that the color blue itself is being erased, which means that he just wiped an immaterial construct that is only really the product of living minds from existence on a universal scale. While that sounds not too impressive on paper, you can easily begin to extrapolate on other immaterial concepts. In the manga, he's erased time between punches, there's nothing really stopping him from erasing time altogether at a universal scale, except formthe fact that would likely hinder him too. He's not really immortal or invincible either... He's just able to erase the concept of death from himself. Then there's the fun mental exercise of "what if he erased the idea of limits from himself?" I'll say it again, he's not the strongest, but a lot of what's holding him back is himself, given everything we've already seen. That and EoS with Hundred Gauntlets makes everything he erases, even things in the past, temporary.
He can erase anything except for Abnormality or Power of someone. He can remove the effects but he can't remove the power itself. All Fiction isn't the power he had originally tho.
asd asdas Not exactly. The unevolved version of his power belonged to a "god". He got the minus and since he was fuked up in the brain (and minuses evolve from how much someone degrades mentally) he made the skill better. (though the true god of the verse is that haxxed up gal called Medaka)
Those who wonder. Anshinin is one of the most OP Hax characters ever. How powerful and broken she is you might ask, well All Fiction which is reality manipulation is a joke to her.
@@raitoiro End of series is stronger. If we take into account Medaka copying omniscience from Ajimu then yes she is far stronger, because she literally has all of Ajimu's skills at 120% power. Since The End copies anything it has knowledge on, Medaka after copying Ajimu's omniscience should be FAR stronger.
@@EarlGB yeah but we know thag she wasn't able to copy all 800 skill that Ajimu display and for exemple she never was able to copy the skill that let Ajimu disable all skill (work on the end) also remeber that Ajimu never display more than even 0,01% of her skills, combined with the fact that she can prevent Medaka from further copy more of her skill, also from Medaka dialogue after Iliko battle she likely didn't copy Ajimu most powerfull skill so far, which just make her god. Also we allready have seen that battle, during the battle with the 4 ninja before the Shirainu village, Ajimu is against the medaka clone (wich is shown to be as powerfull as Medaka) and Ajimu stomp it. It wasn't really end of the serie Medaka, but in term of power and skill they should be really close. Btw, if we trully take end of the serie Medaka, then she only have the animal love skill.
@@raitoiro Hmm i disagree. Medaka see Ajimu use "know the answer" skill (which is basically omniscience), that alone gives her knowledge on all of Ajimu's skills, even if she's shown less than 1 quadrillionth of her powers, Medaka knows about "all" of them as well as Medaka should have access to "skill that makes skills" which Ajimu doesn't have access to. So using omniscience, Medaka has all of Ajimu's skills and Hanten's skill who is comparable to Ajimu (Medaka also did have to fight Hanten at the bouquet to the future arc). EoS Medaka is borderline fan-fiction as she's never shown what she has copied. About Ajimu beating Medaka, that's a HUGE "no-no" as against the ninja's Kumagawa beat Ajimu's clone, but Kumagawa ain't > Ajimu, not by a long shot.
The thing is dude could have just undone the other guy’s existence from the very beginning thus negating this entire situation. But instead he chose the unequivocally destroy him in the most cruel of ways just cause. Love it
at this point in time he can't really recover what he had deleted aside from a few loophole so he barely ever use more than 1% of All Fiction true power. If he were to delete him then it would change history as a whole as well since the unvierse will had to somehow cover up the fact that 1 person just disappeared completely. such as how his parent was unable to give birth to him or how all the friend he had make would has been without him and so on. his ability to delete thing is so huge that it quite literally reconstructed the universe and the timeline of it to make sure it fit after he delete something.
he would have died by bleeding to death, Ezumachi died cause of lethal damage done to his body. But kumagawa was hit at a vital point to so the only way he would have survived would be, that he has undone his death and not by removing the colour red but what ever
Without colour green(color of twig) or red(color of heat), I could say there would be no life too. And hitting him in the brain is good enough to end his thinking function. Anyways, instilling concepts into physical things like colour is random and meaningless, the storyline could go anyway the creators liked. This game just doesn't work for me. And I ACTUALLY WATCHED THIS VIDEO JUST BY TYPING KUMAGAWA INTO RU-vid SEARCHBOX, already thinking this scene isn't good. It was, like he said himself, "Meaningless".
@@Rairiky of course, and I feel I got trolled because I watched medaka box for this character, only for him to appear in the last episode. But I still enjoyed the anime a lot
Ironically, Kumagawa can't win by simply erasing someone from existance. Because if he did, he would erase every trace, every memory relating to their existance. Thus, both the battle and Kumagawa's memory of the battle would also vanish. Meaning that, once more, Kumagawa wouldn't have won. Because the battle would've never happened.
Medaka Box is driven by it's characters as it quite literally doesn't have a plot. The only think that can be called a plot is "Medaka will win". It has no goal and as for it's characters it's 1 of the best series out there tbh. Really good characters, each symbolizing someone, really creative and nice powers/skills etc. As for Nisio Isin (creator of Medaka Box) yeah he did write the "Monogatari" series, "Katanagatari", "Shounen Shojo" (which i haven't read, but i've heard is pretty good etc. BUT one thing you may not know is that Nisio Isin is the same guy that made "Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Over Heaven"...ikr, a made a Jojo series. xD
"What do you mean we're not getting another season? Kumagawa doesn't show up until the final episode!" "Fine, we'll make a new and anime-only Kumagawa story. One that's basically impossible in manga." And it was awesome
Perhaps because of the popularity of the author's new comic, Medaka Box rotaries are available in Japan today. This severely stimulates my desire for a sequel.
