Who was in the wrong here?

>effortlessly solved
Only two people solved that first puzzle, that was bullshit by the way, and also Madaka was being a bitch because that game didn't have a time limit or any penalty for losing, she just drop Zenkichi like a hot potato because she got bored

Zenkichi.

He couldn't solve the puzzle and then lashed out at Medaka.

I dropped this shit because in the beginning it felt like it was jumping around genres and didnt know wtf it wanted to be. Is this shit worth revisiting

Everyone.

Heat for being retarded and not accepting help
Medaka for being delusional and expecting some superhuman shit out of him

The series itself was trying to write Zenkichi out of the story by introducing a bunch of new, more interesting characters who went on a fun adventure with Medaka, while portraying him as a stubborn fool to justify kicking him out. It was the scene that kicked off the arc where Zenichi tries to defeat Medaka by changing the genre of the manga.

It always amazed me how Akune was really not normal.

I blame Zen more. Medaka does not have full grasp of human emotions.

The manga clearly outlines it was both.
>Medaka
She's a hyper autist who was too harsh initially and that had treated Zenkichi unfairly for years. She's also needlessly combative and escalates shit after Zenkichi has a tantrum.
>Zenkichi
He refuses to accept his own failure gracefully and totally kills the good mood by SEETHING and COPING by trying to blame others and even questions their integrity while acting like an embarassment.

Zenkichi, however, was the one to realise that he fucked up first and Medaka needed him to drag it out of her.

Try picking it up again, but read it with the mindset that it's making fun of shonenshit. The jarring genre changes at the beginning will make a lot more sense, especially if you've ever read something like Hitman Reborn that's guilty of making a forced transition from a comedy to an action series.

The first third is the worst part.

In the moment it was absolutely Zenkichi's fault. He cracked emotionally and started making excuses.

>The series itself was trying to write Zenkichi out
It was trying to do something with him but considering in the next arc he turns it around and beats Medaka at her own game I don't think writing him out was ever on the table.

Same. I also couldn't stand the two main characters.

Blaming Medaka is the same as blaming ourselves for enjoying the arc without noticing/caring that he wasn't in it.

Is the anime good?

Everyone going full retarded when this happened was an extreme turnoff for me, made me not finish the manga

>Medaka just turns into a violent bitch at the mere sight of him, beating the shit out of him
>People split into factions for no fucking reason
>"I never actually killed anyone" assassin murders someone over something as trivial as election camps
>Ultra mega super omega delta ability wielder spawns some shitters that never accomplish anything the entire arc, and just felt like filler
>She herself does absolutely nothing the entire arc herself despite making her take the center stage

Like, what the hell was that?

Not for real. Only in the meta-narrative that arc had, where he realized he was being phased out of the story and Ajimu had to help him prevent it.

I wanted to read this series just because I hear that Medaka became one of the most powerful characters in fiction by the end of it and I wanted to see this transition. is this true or I got memed?

It's written by the guy who wrote Bakemonogatari. He's a cheeky cunt and absolutely just wanted to see if he could make the most bullshit Jump protagonist ever. She's got literal plot armor as an in-universe ability and later starts developing counters for things that can counter plot armor (At one point someone comes up with the idea to defeat her by gaining an ability that strips plot contrivances out of the story, but she finds a way to counter that in the next arc).

Both Zen and Medaka handled the situation poorly, but Zenkichi losing his composure was interesting and it leading to him butting heads with Medaka was great. The threads back then were awesome too.

looks like you got filtered

>The first third is the worst part.
The first half of the series is the best.
It goes to shit IMMEDIATELY once the Anshin cadets enter the story. Both times I've read this manga, my interest dips at the midway mark; which is pretty much dead on when they get introduced.
