While it certainly seems like Kumagawa is trolling as hard as he possibly can and intends to bring Zenkichi back, I really like the idea of him being evil again.
Because, how often does that happen? a villain teams up with the heroes with the usual "this is only a temporary alliance tsun tsun" but then DOESN'T become a true friend, but betrays them later because it WAS only a temporary alliance.
Kumagawa doesn't really have a reason to be a villain again and he is not the type to be some minion which is why he turned down Shiranui's offer.
Man I hope that actually happens now, but I bet its all a APRIL (get it because the name is…..yeah) fool's like skill so none of this is actually happenning.
This chapter had some SWAG in it.( couldn't resist)
Looks like the fight was as interesting as I imagined it to be.
It's pretty cool to have Real Eater's abilities confirmed although now that I think about it, there were various hints in previous battles. The skill that eats and alters other skills… hah sounds neat.
Shiranui is clever but i think she is being too confident that she has figured Kumagawa out.I think there will be some kind of twist.
I-It's not like I was moved by Zenkichi and Shiranui's reunion or anything!
And now to wait for Iihiko's arrival.
I fucking love Kumagawa.
so hold on, what is Hundred Gauntlets? I kinda zone out when people talk in this manga, and sometimes I miss things.

It was never explained in the manga.It's just known as the base for All Fiction so it possibly has the same type of effect.
Well time to start watching the anime I guess.
Wasn't hundred gauntlets the skill to make his enemies fall at his level ,ensuring that way a proper "final fight shonen" battle were both rivals are somehow even?
^No that's Book Maker where you get pierced by a special screw.
Ah, then I have no clue about hundred gauntlets.
I think the scanlators messed a bit the skills names, maybe bookmaker and hundred gauntlets are the same, can't really say for sure.
Wow, the second anime opening is even worse than the first

Kumagawa made a hundred gauntlet become All fiction. Bookmaker is his original minus which he couldn't use anymore because it was sealing Anshin'in.
No, no he didn't. Where did you acquire that piece of information (which chapter)?
Edit: Hundred Gauntlets stopped All Fiction's deterioration but it didn't become the skill itself.

My understanding is it went like this,
Kumagawa has book maker
Kumagawa trades book maker for hundred gauntlets
Kumagawa modified/changed hundred gauntlets to all fiction
Kumagawa traded hundred gauntlets back for book maker, as all fiction was based on hundred gauntlets, belived to have lost all fiction as well.
Kumagawa somehow manges to scrape the remnants of all fiction back together to create his deteriorated version of all fiction, as all fictions parts that were created from hundred gauntlets were not traded back when he traded for book maker, as they belonged to Kumagawa
Kumagawa recieved the inheritance and merges all fiction with unskilled to create april fiction.
So Kumagawa currently has
All fiction - full powered version - Maybe.
Book Maker
Unskilled
April fiction
Nope, I still believe that Hundred Gauntlets is an independent skill that helped Kumagawa save his All Fiction (the latter was even stated in the manga). Based on the current information we have HG could be a somewhat supportive skill as it assisted our Naked Apron-senpai in restoring his AF. There's a reason as to why the skill hasn't been revealed yet and I think it's going to be a good one once it happens. So to use your list, Kumagawa has four skills at the moment:
All Fiction (indeed at full power)
Book Maker
Unskilled
Hundred Gauntlets
I didn't consider April Faction part of it since it's an altered version of All Fiction plus technically speaking Unskilled could be combined with any of Kumagawa's abilities.

My reading of the manga was that Kumagawa could get all fiction back despite having hundred gauntlets taken from him, this page is why I thought that

T](http://i38.mangareader.net/medaka-box/122/medaka-box-2834973.jpg)hough I can see why you would say hundred gauntlets is an independent skill.
Good point you brought up there. It's interesting how we can't pin down Hundred Gauntlet's exact ability (there has to be a very good reason as to why it hasn't been revealed yet). It's pretty much confirmed to be a stand-alone skill but the possibilities that come with it are the thing. Altering skills, giving birth to new ones and who knows what more- HG is a mystery I want to see solved asap.

I agree , its part of the reason i didn't include it, and unfortunately considering how random the series can be its almost impossible to predict what it could do, or if it will even be shown.
But Kumagawa still has to beat medaka, so perhaps where going to have to wait until the end to see it.
So logically it should be something that will help him beat medaka , considering she has his all fiction and book maker as well as all the other skills she's seen so far, hundred gauntlets is pretty much the only skill he has that she doesn't so it would hopefully be what he uses to help him win.
Of course I could just be vainly hoping he will actually win.

! Tsurubami confirmed the god of Akoniwa, and it turns Nienami's style is the strongest of all.
Okay I wasn't expecting that…..part.
! I laughed at the fact that he was also grossed out by all the blood.
! I was grateful when Iihiko apareared, the professor was Aizening too much.
OH MY GOD this fucking chapter
! Fukurou was so hilariously despicable in every way (I literally went "Jesus Christ what an asshole" at every page), and then Iihiko just stomps his ass mid-evil speech!
Nienami and Kamome are also really fun characters. I want Kamome to get some badass moments, too!
…......damn......... just damn
Fresh, it's just so fresh
Well that was suprising. And appreciated. Guy was a major dick.
Isin needs to let go of that habit of telling and not showing though
Talk about flashy entrance, Iihiko. That was indeed so fresh!
Now there's the question as to how they will defeat the 5000 year old warrior without having any styles (in other words their only hope of winning right?). I assume that Medaka came up with something in the meantime but that that something won't be enough for a victory hence my money's on an all-out group battle vs Iihiko. And that's really only because I want to see everyone showing off rather than Medaka taking the cake for herself. Again- quite a fresh chapter.
Nienami is just love, I want to know more about her.
So the last episode of the Medaka Box season 2 just came out. It's a original anime episode focusing on Kumagawa, I just watched it and I would recommend people here to do the same.
It's pretty awesome.
Well, crunchyroll won't let me see the chapters, or any of Medaka's episodes for that matter, any idea of the reason why it isn't global as almost every other series that they have?

That was completely amazing. Kumagawa is one of the best characters ever.
you know, this manga keeps telling me Tsurubami is hot shit, but I don't believe it. He can manipulate the earth's rotations (though he hasn't tried it) get in people's way, and provoke them. He sounds like a troll more than anything else, and I still don't know how he beat up Medaka that one time.
anyway, I predict that this will be the second-to-last battle. Ihiko will get beat and the current arc will end, but we still will need to get Zenkichi and Medaka married. They'll have to fight one last time, or something.

I know what you mean. I really want him to get his own fight and to show off. I'm trying to figure out how his two skills and style synergize into an unstoppable ability. He can control the rotation of the top, which is his weapon of choice. He can force people to fight him (stand in their way), and he can cause them to lose their composure. I assume the prediction thing he did was reading them because its easier to read an opponent who is unnerved. Unfortunately, I don't think we're gonna get a better explanation. I just want this guy to have his day…
Thanks for the link, but I managed to find it in my own, but if you could point me to the manga chapter that this come from, I'll be very grateful.
I must take my hat off to Kumagawa, excelent episode, except for the lack of blood, if not when he was stabbed, when he screwed that guy (the first time) at least.
The voice wasn't like I immagined, I tought that the weird symbols that he always uses to speak would translate into a very insincere voice, but that would get anoying very fast.
What I don't understand is who did he actualy kill to make Medaka hate him in the first place? or was it just Anashin'in? or the president before him was Anashin'in in disguise?

This is a anime only episode, but it is a sequel to a spin-off one-shot chapter also staring Kumagawa, here is a link:

The symbols are actually just normal brackets. It was explained a few pages ago, but it's a pun. "To look cool" can be written the same way as "to put brackets around". So, basically, he's showing off when he talks, and that's why there's brackets around his sentences.
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
Guys, guys…
Tsurubami Fukurou can use all the styles, remember? And among these there's one that allows to create a perfect flesh and bone copy of your persona.
You understand what I'm trying to imply with this, right?
I think nobody here really believed that cunning bastard to be dead. As you pointed out, Nekketsu, he invented the styles and despite his peculiar personality he should be smart enough to predict that much and prepare properly.
Well, he's cunning but he's no Aizen (fortunately), so I don't think he predicted Iihiko would stomp him.
Still, he already died once, which makes me wonder if he's actually inmortal or what.
Fukurou didn't understand the emotion of anger, it never entered his mind that Iihiko would stomp him. That being said, he might have a double just for its own sake. Even maybe an inferior, bootleg double!
As for whom Kumagawa killed, it was his very own Vice President, Najimi Ajimu!
Chapter's out on Batoto, and…
! The Protagonist, dead. Unless this is the end of the Manga, I seriously doubt it. My guess for next chapter is that Kumagawa uses April Fiction or All Fiction to bring her back.
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
I hope Nisio resurrects her in a way that defies our expectations as always
Wha….that's......well.....fuck!

! Iikihiko's attack damage can't be fixed so Medaka can't be brought back I think, unless this whole thing is a style I don't know how this will work.
…....shit!
Those four pages back to back were glorious.
M-Medaka..?! That can't be true.
