 Medaka Kurokami vs Power Girl Analysis:

u/Infinite-Sun7000 Blog

“A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.”

In today's topic we have a thunderous battle between two seemingly unstoppable superhuman heroines who are each a walking natural disaster in battle and boasting some of the most stunning, awe-inspiring figures the universe has ever witnessed!

In the left corner, standing tall with an aura that bends destiny itself Kurokami Medaka! Former Student Council President of the prestigious Hakoniwa Academy, beloved childhood companion of Hitoyoshi Zenkichi, and the outrageously overpowered protagonist of the criminally underrated Medaka Box series. A genius among geniuses, a prodigy among prodigies and a force whose very presence rewrites what it means to be “human.”

And in the right corner, blazing with cosmic elegance Power Girl, also known as Kara Zor-L! The unbelievably gorgeous, iron-willed blonde powerhouse, Earth-Two counterpart of Supergirl and the proud cousin of none other than Clark Kent, Superman himself. A majestic, head-strong, and fiercely compassionate guardian hailing from the legendary Detective Comics Universe, whose raw might and noble heart stand as a shining testament to Kryptonian greatness.

As always, this blog strives to deliver the most accurate, well-reasoned verdicts on who would triumph in a fully hypothetical battle between two fictional juggernauts. My mission is to dismantle misinformation, debunk flawed arguments and confront opposing viewpoints with sharp, evidence-backed analysis all while acknowledging the inherently subjective nature of versus debates.

And with that, I proudly present Medaka Kurokami vs Power Girl, entry #4 in u/infinite-sun7000’s ever-growing powerscaling series:

Strength and Power

Medaka Kurokami

Born with an unnatural surplus of talent, Medaka Kurokami was surpassing established experts long before most people her age even learned what talent was. Gifted with monstrous physical prowess and explosive speed, she stands as a paragon of peak superhuman capability in a world where enhanced physiology is practically commonplace. Even early in the story, Medaka displayed power far beyond anything a normal prodigy should possess such as ripping apart massive sections of her school’s foundation (270.674 Tons), leaping to absurd heights while creating craters with her punches, kicking straight through concrete walls, effortlessly walking through Class 13 members and tanking building-level explosions without slowing down.

And if that weren’t enough, her progressive power, a the terrifying ability to grow stronger simply by experiencing conflict, elevates Medaka into something far beyond any human in the series. With every opponent she defeats, she evolves while ascending to heights that outright defy reason. She goes on to perform increasingly absurd feats such as overpowering 1,000 students in a tug-of-war, defeating an army of 640,000 individuals and even becoming responsible for the obliteration of a moon (395 Zettatons).

This relentless growth eventually allows her to surpass figures such as the former Student Council President Hinokage Kuudou, whose sheer strength enabled him to destroy a tower crane (6.04 Tons) and the veteran loser Misogi Kumagawa, the wielder of the causality-erasing ability All Fiction whom can also operate it on a stellar scale, while being comparable to Ajimu Najimi (Anshin’in), an ancient, nigh-omnipotent goddess who can wipe out an entire star and possess quadrillions of skills some of which implied to have the capability to transcend dimensions and control infinity and even Shishime Iihiko, a being superior to Ajimu whose strength and irreversible damage is described to originate from an entirely different dimension as well. At her peak, within a single chapter in a canonical span of just 90 minutes, Medaka went on to solo the entire cast of characters introduced since the very beginning of the series. From the humble kendo students, to the Thirteen Party, the Shiranui Group, the Minuses, the Student Council Body, the Discipline Committee and even the Style Users all in one single sweep.

This positions her scaling from large-building to city-block level all the way up to planetary to star-level depending on interpretation. Firmly solidifying her supremacy and badassery within her own series.

Power Girl

Power Girl, the astoundingly gorgeous gladiator who stand as a natural-born Kryptonian, and with that alone comes a baseline of strength and superhuman ability that instantly places her leagues above ordinary heroes. Her alien physiology is nothing short of busted, granting her the raw physical might to perform world-shaking feats and tower over most of her peers without even trying.

Right out of the gate, Kara can lift and demolish colossal structures with casual ease, send fellow superhumans flying from Washington D.C. to Canada with a single punch, break out of restraints specifically engineered to withstand the full force of Earth’s gravitational pull, shattered reinforced vaults with her fists, plowed straight through mountains, generate shockwaves powerful enough to devastate entire environments as byproducts of her battles, caused an earthquake with normal stamp, pushed a spaceship away from Earth to dump it unto the sun then flew back from it. She can tank a blast fired from a Neutron Star's matter directly, a blast by the Void Hound which can destroy multiple star systems (2.6 PetaFoe) and so many countless more feats that are similar in scope, but what makes Power Girl even more impressive is the caliber of characters she consistently clashes with all while existing within a vast, multi-layered cosmology where countless structures, entities and dimensions operate on inherently cosmic scales. 

She has gone toe-to-toe with Earth-One Superman whose capable of destroying infinite universes merely by flying, is described as being stronger than Supergirl who herself can harm and trade blows with her previously mentioned cousin, easily overpower Aquaman, survived a direct hit from the Adjudicator’s eye beams despite the Adjudicator having the power to erase every Earth in the multiverse on his own, made Superboy-Prime bleed with some help and has tussled with Wonder Woman, who destroyed Cronus’s scepter, an artifact containing the Godwave which originates from the Source.

She’s taken punches from and hurt Black Adam, whose power is consistently portrayed on par with Superman’s and broken out of Kyle Rayner’s constructs, which can tank a 12.3 Dimensional Big Bang. She's stated and portrayed to be comparable to Captain Atom, who can create and destroy universes casually, fought on par with a New God which originated from the Sphere of Gods, a realm of pure platonic concept that exists above the Bleed  and stalemated heavyweights like Shazam, who once rocked the cosmos so hard it contributed in the destruction of a universe during the War of Gods and with several help of other Karas, have even managed to break through the Source Wall trapping Superman in it!

In conclusion,  this places her solidly around baseline Outer and potentially extending two layers into Outer to even brushing one layer of High-Outer. As demonstrated by these feats, Power Girl is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Powers and Abilities

Medaka Kurokami

In Medaka Box, superhuman abilities are divided into several distinct categories. At the bottom are Normals, regular people with no special gifts. Above them are Specials, humans who excel through extraordinary talent or physical prowess but still within natural limits. Next are the Abnormals, individuals born with outright supernatural abilities that defy logic and physics and when these Abnormal powers become twisted by trauma or negativity, they turn into Minuses, abilities defined by harmful, self-destructive or inherently negative effects. Beyond them are the Not-Equals (≠), paradoxical beings whose abilities break rules entirely as they operate outside normal logic, continuity or even causality. Finally, the Style Users, whom wield abilities based on language, using speech, rhetoric and patterns to manipulate others and control situations through the power of structured dialogue.

The End & Copied Abilities

Medaka has the special ability called "The End" which allowed her to copy other people's abilities whether it'd be abnormal, minus or not equals. This would make her peak self, that is EoS Medaka a monstrous figure possessing literally all of the abilities that everyone has in the story. By witnessing abilities such as Chougasaki Gagamaru’s Encounter, she gains the power to control and redirect physical, mental, and emotional trauma, through Shibuki Shibushi’s Scar Dead, she can reopen any wounds regardless how old it might be, through her sister Kurokami Kujira’s Minus Ice-Fire, she achieves full mastery over temperature, letting her freeze injuries or generate scorching flames and from Emukae Mukae’s Twisted Raff-Rafflesia, she can rot the earth itself and command plant life. She can also manipulate electricity and control minds through Miyakanojo Oudo’s Weighted Words, convert raw strength into extraordinary speed using Hinokage Kuudo’s Theme Song, hid countless weapons within her clothing like a minecraft inventory via Kei Munakata's Hidden Weapons, generate or cure any form of ailment with Aoki Aka’s Five Forks, somehow managed to copy artificially engineered physiologies, such as Itami Koga’s enhanced regeneration, replicate Unzen Myouri's Bouncing Ball Tricks and has even partially copied several of Ajimu Najimi’s skills, as demonstrated by her use of her Trample Skills. And while this remains partly speculative, the nature of The End which allows her to learn any skill not only by witnessing it but even by merely hearing about it, makes it entirely possible that she also acquired Ajimu’s vast catalogue of abilities, including her Biological Skills, Boss Skills, Gun Skills, Magic Skills, Martial Arts Skills, Mental Skills, Ninja Skills, Sword Skills and Protagonist Skills.

All-Fiction

However, all of this is utterly minuscule compared to the most broken ability of them all that being Kumagawa's All Fiction. With it, Medaka can regenerate from virtually any form of harm, negate her own death, revive herself indefinitely and even return from being reduced to nothing. She can automatically undo any damage inflicted on her, overwrite her own death so it never occurred, and persist with an endless number of lives, as Ajimu describes. Her body functions independently of normal biology as she can suffer catastrophic brain damage, even impalement through the head and still move, speak, and function perfectly. She can also completely heal injuries, restore stamina, erase scars, and even repair torn clothing, just as Misogi once restored Maguro, healed both the Plus Six and the Loser Team and fixed Shibuki’s burns.

Through it, one becomes capable of reducing reality itself to nothing, unraveling events, actions, or injuries as if they never existed and directly altering the chain of cause and effect. She can ignore or rewrite the rules that govern how the world operates, to the point where carelessness could erase the world entirely. It can make contradictions real, break the laws of physics, and turn the impossible into something that simply is. It can delete fundamental concepts such as removing the very idea of color, making blood incapable of being red thus preventing bleeding to death and can erase any phenomenon, object or idea without limitation. It can override logic and reverse irreversible events, reshape mathematical truths so that contradictory equations like 1+ 1 = 0 become valid, induce paradoxes that defy rational structure, it can remove a person’s senses entirely, vanishing them into nothing and can erase her own presence so completely that no one can perceive, detect, or acknowledge her existence and can even manipulate time directly by erasing the duration of her attacks so they occur instantaneously or removing moments from the timeline, including preventing a specific hour from ever arriving.

The Hero

Regardless, despite the overwhelming power of “The End,” Medaka apparently cannot copy Styles as strangely enough, mainly because empathic and communicative nature of Styles are inherently tied to understanding others, an area in which Medaka has a weaker grasp. Even so, she was able to utilize Styles in a practical way, such as pumping blood throughout her body to sustain herself that allows for prolong endurance during battle. Additionally, while all Abnormals possess this ability to some extent, but as a “Hero,” Medaka surpasses them by an extraordinary margin. She can effortlessly manifest one-in-a-million chances, predict the next combination of a door with a one-in-a-trillion probability, and is said to be capable of pulling it off a million times in a row far exceeding other Abnormals who pass through the same door daily. This ability stacks the odds in her favor, allowing her to win elections, evade critical attacks, be spared by the whims of enemies, and devise winning strategies in the most desperate situations. Events tend to unfold around her as if the world itself is following a story like in tournaments, where opponents rise from the weakest to the strongest. She becomes entangled in seemingly random murder plots and encounters with friends and long-time rivals often occur by chance in unrelated circumstances. Yet, this remarkable influence is not absolute as depending on the nature of her “Hero” status, it can be forfeited if she acts in ways deemed sufficiently unheroic.

War God Modes

War God Mode, name aside is one of Medaka’s most extreme transformations, unleashing a savage surge of raw physical power that pushes her far beyond her usual limits. In this state, she delivers blows strong enough to crack Myouri’s Snow White armor in just three hits, launch him into the air, and embed him in concrete despite the suit’s kinetic-absorption systems. She tears through hundreds of five-ton-tensile wires while dragging whole sections of the school behind her, effortlessly overwhelms her cousin Tsurubami and had enough force even back in middle school to crater Kumagawa with one punch. Her endurance and regeneration also escalate dramatically as she fights through deep wounds, rapidly heals broken bones thanks to Itami’s abnormality, and endures Oudo’s attacks long enough to retaliate, making this form one of her most terrifying displays of brute strength and tenacity. Other variations of this state escalate things even further with Altered God Mode that pushes her to a refined 120 percent, using Oudo’s Weighted Words to keep full mental clarity while amplifying her physical might. Her ultimate form, End God Mode, is the one she used to finally overpower Shishime Iihiko. It fuses the fastest iteration of Kurokami Phantom with coordinated clone support to form Kurokami Final, a technique so absurd that one clone literally breaks physics to clear her a path with zero air resistance. When Iihiko dodges, Medaka redirects herself in a boomerang arc to strike from behind, all while moving at lightspeed and forcing her entire body to act as one giant heart just to keep the blood flowing fast enough to sustain the speed.

All in all, they weren’t exaggerating when they call Medaka a total hax monger when she’s stacked with so many overwhelmingly useful abilities that makes her practically invincible and borderline unbeatable!

Power Girl

Kryptonian Physiology

As previously established, Power Girl’s Kryptonian physiology grants her a wide array of innate abilities. Her body contains organs with no human equivalents, and most importantly, her cells are engineered to absorb and metabolize yellow solar radiation. This solar energy serves as the foundation of all her powers, amplifying her physical capabilities the closer she is to its source. Even in the absence of direct sunlight, she can continue operating at high levels for a time, though her abilities gradually diminish without replenishment. When sufficiently charged, she no longer requires food, sleep or even oxygen and she has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to breathe and speak in the vacuum of space.

Invulnerability

Still, these traits pale in comparison to some of her more blatantly overpowered abilities. Chief among them is her near-invulnerability, as Power Girl’s molecular structure is so impossibly dense that neither her skin nor even exposed tissue from open wounds can be pierced by man-made blades, lasers or comparable weaponry. This extreme density also renders her immune to toxins, diseases, alcohol, and virtually all drugs. In one alternate future, she even resisted a swarm of specialized nanobytes engineered to forcibly convert victims into OMAC units which is a transformation that was otherwise considered completely unavoidable.

Heat Vision

She also possesses Heat Vision, capable of firing concentrated beams composed of red solar energy with a stated output of 100,000 watts. These blasts are powerful enough to threaten heavyweights like Black Adam, Supergirl, Superboy-Prime and even Superman, with their potency scales directly with the amount of solar energy she has stored. She can freely adjust both the temperature and the area of effect, allowing her to unleash massive, explosive bursts that incinerate enemies and send them flying or focus her vision into razor-thin beams capable of precision including surgical incisions, amputations, castration or even delicate lobotomies. Beyond physical targets, she has used her Heat Vision to carve messages into solid material, evaporate rainfall mid-air, injure intangible or non-corporeal beings and even seal off a spatial warp linking two separate dimensions.

Additional Abilities

She possesses freeze breath, allowing her to unleash hurricane-force winds with a single exhale. She can supercool the air to freeze targets or inhale massive amounts of smoke, vapor or debris. This ability can freeze advanced machinery, stop tidal waves, expose hidden individuals, disrupt cloaking devices and even weaken the durability of otherwise indestructible beings. At her most extreme, she’s blown hard enough to reach outside the comic panel and obscure the page itself. She's also inherently acausal, a living paradox whose original timeline and universe no longer exist. Even after the multiverse was erased during Crisis on Infinite Earths, she retained full memory of her Pre-Crisis history, a fact later confirmed in Camelot Falls. This trait persisted during her Atlantean era, as she remembered past relationships with Guy, Hal and Wally despite timeline alterations by a 70th-century time traveler. She can manipulate physics to a limited extent, demonstrated by her ability to contain an explosion after detonation and can also perform dimensional travel, having stated capable of escaping Maaldor’s Dimension, project magical energy through her physical attacks when enraged, displayed several telepathic feats, including communicating mentally with others, sensing psychic attacks and forming a psychic link with Omen though the latter was severed during a battle with Johnny Sorrow.

Astral Punching

Additionally, through classic comic book bullshit, Power Girl has these things dubbed as astral punches, a form of attack that lets her punch through many intangible and incorporeal structures that outright defies logic. She can do it on the physical plane to dispel illusions or teleport herself and others, including other dimensions. She can even extend parts of her body through portals for a better view and despite it's limitations, grants her reach from Earth’s core to the depths of space and even the Sun. Subsequently, as part of her telepathic powers, she can enter the astral plane and dive into another person’s subconscious by punching her way in. Though each mindscape is unique, her abilities remain fully functional within them, allowing her to fix “errors” in a person’s mental code, alleviate trauma or free them from psychic attacks while leaving room for BFR, spatial manipulation and dimensional travel, as she is capable of sending both herself and others into different dimensions.

Speed

For all the lightspeed talk around Medaka Box, there aren’t actually many statements you can toss out as simple exaggeration. The story itself, annoyingly enough, keeps everything internally consistent. At most you get five characters who can reasonably be pegged as lightspeed, and the narrative never contradicts that ceiling. Ajimu blowing up a star, the mechanics behind Hinokage’s Theme Song, and Medaka wrecking the moon overnight all quietly lean in that direction rather than away from it. Even Iihiko calling Medaka’s Kurokami Phantom slow fits the pattern, since he proceeds to smack her around with his glasses like she’s running on dial-up. Some fans argue Medaka reaches immeasurable speeds because All Fiction can erase time or because she might have learned Ajimu’s Alibi Block and started hopping across spacetime. It sounds flashy, but it doesn’t hold up. None of them ever behave like characters operating beyond linear time, and all three get blitzed or pressured by opponents who clearly aren’t anywhere near immeasurable. At best, Medaka ends up with a kind of pseudo-teleportation, the same way Instant Transmission gives Goku movement options without actually making him an immeasurable-speed being.

Power Girl, on the other hand actually has the receipts. She’s kept pace with, and is sometimes even framed as faster than, Jay Garrick, the original veteran speedster who can run through the timestream itself. She also keeps up with Superman, who once flew to the edge of the universe in sixty days and overshot infinity in the process. Her track record doesn’t stop there. She matches every major DC herald tier including Wonder Woman, who has blocked billions of projectiles crossing the universe, Shazam, who blitzed the Spectre and tagged Barry Allen, the same Barry, who outran the concept of his own Death and entered Hypertime and even the Lanterns, who can traverse half the universe in under ten hours. Mind you, DC's Universe is infinite, which in turn makes all of these characters operate on firmly immeasurable levels of speed with infinite bare minimum.

Intelligence and Skill

Medaka Kurokami

While Medaka’s overwhelming hax and sheer physical might often steal the spotlight, her true strongest asset is undeniably her unparalleled intellect and skill. Her ability to analyze, strategize and dismantle problems with virtually no effort is consistently portrayed as her most defining edge. With her first feat shown was when she effortlessly deduces the culprit behind tampered running spikes with almost no information, uses Myouri’s bouncing balls to decode Shigusa’s ability and even sacrifices her own arm in a calculated move to secure Shigusa’s flash drive. Medaka routinely weaponizes obscure rules such as invoking a century-old regulation enabling a duel between Student Council presidents to derail Kumagawa’s chaos. She can memorize every card on a table at a glance, solve riddles instantly, performs all the student council’s calculations entirely in her head, instantaneously decoded Myouga’s mathematical language after hearing it once and in a single second correctly determines that the solution to passing an exam is to simply punch the officiator. She can follow Shiranui’s thought patterns well enough to know what was written on a scroll she couldn't even see and immediately reassesses the situation when her entire group is de-aged.

This brilliance isn’t newfound as it was evident from the beginning. By the age of two, Medaka’s academic aptitude was already unprecedented. She became the uncontested top student in all of Japan, and calling her “one in a billion” undersells the scale of her genius. She has never missed a single question on any test in her life, solved the supposedly impossible Juggling Theorem in middle school, read the entire Kurokami mansion library before she turned one, drove a professional mathematician into retirement, explained geometric sequencing with ease, casually cracked a number-substitution cryptogram and again caused her calligraphy teacher to retire.

All of this extraordinary intellect directly translates into her combat effectiveness. Medaka’s ability to analyze opponents, adapt instantly, and construct winning strategies mid-fight is one of her most dangerous traits. Realizing Hybrid God Mode was useless against her cousin Tsurubami, she immediately deduced the underlying reason and switched back to standard War God Mode and overwhelming him instantly in return. She devised a multilayered plan to defeat Shishime Iihiko with End God Mode, coordinating her clones, physics manipulation and predictive analysis seamlessly. Her quick tactical instincts are equally impressive such as when she escaped Kakagae’s hold by using the unexpected but optimal tactic of sitting on her face and weaponizes vibrations to bypass Kotobuki’s baby armor, yes, actual armor made from her own friends who were de-aged through Kotobuki’s style. Medaka’s intellect should also be comparable to if not straight up surpass her circle of equally terrifying geniuses including her sister Kujira, who effortlessly unraveled the true nature of Styles, Akune, who aced the Presidential Orientation with ease and Kumagawa, who outhustled Aoki Aka’s notoriously unfair card game.

Power Girl

Living in a world filled with threats ranging from brute enforcers to manipulative schemers and reality-warping gods, intelligence is essential skillset one must possess and Kara is no slouch. Considered to be one of Justice League's brightest members, she's repeatedly shown exceptional problem-solving ability and astounding tactical awareness, such as when she discovered Force’s weakness to electricity and exploiting it to her advantage, spotting foul play even when a scene is staged as suicide, recognizing mind control from subtle visual cues and impressively crafted infiltration plans that avoid suspicion. Her scientific and strategic reasoning is equally sharp as an example where she coaches other heroes on efficient power use, interprets alien communication and understands complex schematics that would take even the goddamn Mr. Terrific days to assemble then replicated in a few minutes. She can also triangulate the position of Calculator and his men by tracking her own voice as it plays through their speakers and is capable of detecting impersonation through behavioral tells, deduce hidden camera locations from angle calculations alone and even performs on-scene forensic analysis to expose staged deaths.

In battle, she constantly adapts on the fly, using heat-vision recoil to escape restraints, freeze breath to weaken tech, dispels illusions with controlled bursts of super-breath, pressure-point strikes and chokeholds against sonic threats and showcased environmental analysis to identify which supports were holding up Manhattan. She exploits weaknesses with precision like the time she disoriented Divine when brute force failed, overloaded Negaspikes’ regeneration until they become too unintelligent to continue healing and taking volatile enemies into space to prevent them from using their abilities. She has shut down a metahuman who mimicked Zatanna's backward magic by simply covering his mouth and spinning fast enough to knock him out, hilariously make deadly usage of her ass similarly to Medaka and regularly weaponizes physics and the environment to her advantage including evaporating rainfall to stop a flood or dropping a boulder into the ocean to create a diversionary tidal wave. She knows Spanish, some Tagalog and Kryptonese, great anatomical knowledge that lets her strike the most vulnerable points of the human body and can apply her heightened senses to locate enemies solely through sound. She instructs others in advanced techniques like the Thunderclap, can destabilize psychic constructs such as Supergirl’s mindscape and quickly recognizes when she’s trapped in a psychic illusion very quickly.

Medaka Box Debunks

Debunking Cosmic / Outer Tier Medaka Box

As someone who finished Medaka Box only a couple of weeks ago, I can say the series is genuinely great and Medaka herself is a fantastic character. But I also went in with one eye firmly on the powerscaling aspects, mostly because I’d heard for years that she supposedly beats Goku, challenges Superman, and sits among the cosmic elites. With that kind of reputation, I expected something outrageous. Instead, what I found was a verse that’s strikingly grounded, far more restrained than the wild claims floating around online.

Outside the major outliers like All Fiction and Ajimu’s skill set, the verse stays modest to an almost surprising degree. If you look strictly at quantifiable feats, the best destructive showing is a singular planetary feat that appears near the very end of the manga, which jumps from earlier city-block level material with zero progression in between. Other series, even chaotic ones like Hazbin Hotel or Invincible, at least escalate their destructive benchmarks in a way that feels organic. Town. Mountain. Island. Country. Planet. Medaka Box skips all of that and then expects its one late-game spike to hold up the entire cosmological reputation fans attached to it. It doesn’t help that much of the supposed cosmic material comes from Good Loser Kumagawa, which contradicts itself depending on whether you’re looking at the novel, the manga or the anime.

But being underwhelmed isn’t the main issue. This is a debunking post, not a rant about expectations. The real problem is that the series structurally cannot support the kind of scaling people try to impose on it, because it doesn’t operate on a consistent system in the first place. Medaka Box runs on metafiction and satire, including narrative causality as an actual force. In this story, being a “main character” or “final boss” is often more powerful than any stat, hax or cosmic hierarchy. That’s why someone like Iihiko can steamroll abilities that logically should affect him, while Medaka can close gaps she has no business crossing. Their roles give them leverage over the story itself. That’s not me exaggerating the themes but the literal internal logic of the narrative.

This is where the power-scaling collapses. The story constantly bends its own rules, sometimes openly mocking the idea of rigid mechanics. The categories of abilities often behave like a convoluted, narrative-driven version of rock-paper-scissors rather than a structured hierarchy. Who wins isn’t determined by whose hax is stronger, but by whichever narrative role is being emphasized in that moment. Even late in the series, when the dialogue starts tossing around lines about “transcending dimensions,” it’s still operating under the same meta logic. Iihiko’s blanket immunity to Medaka’s vast arsenal doesn’t signal some cosmic qualitative difference, it signals that he’s written as an unstoppable calamity whose entire identity is built around being unaffected by whatever the protagonist throws at him.

Medaka Box isn’t inconsistent because the author forgot details or failed to quantify powers. It’s inconsistent because it’s intentionally written to satirize power creep, archetypal roles and shonen escalation. Traditional power scaling expects a universe where feats and statements reflect measurable, in-world physics or metaphysics. Medaka Box exists in a universe where the story itself is the physics, and where metafiction bleeds into the characters’ abilities, struggles and defeats. So when people try to fit Medaka, Ajimu, Kumagawa or Iihiko into universal, multiversal or outerversal frameworks, they’re forcing a narrative-driven satire into a system it was never meant to be part of. The series can produce high-level hax, strong statements and abstract feats, sure, but those occur within a structure built on metafiction, not an actual cosmological hierarchy. That’s why the scaling feels contradictory, scattered and impossible to pin down as it’s supposed to. The story lives and breathes by bending itself around dramatic tension, thematic purpose and role-based causality.

Crucially, this means that R > F feats or impossible victories do not automatically push the verse to Outerversal levels. Outerversal requires consistent, explicit transcendence over entire structures of reality, metaphysics, and conceptual space. Meta-themed feats, by contrast, are often contextual or satirical. Just because a story bends its own rules doesn’t mean the characters exist beyond all dimensions or frameworks. This logic applies to Looney Tunes, 4th-wall-breaking cartoons, Discord, and Bill Cipher where their absurd reality manipulation is bound to their narrative tone and does not constitute true cosmological transcendence. Medaka Box lands in the same situation. Its meta tricks, while impressive and thematically clever, are storytelling devices, not structural feats, and do not justify treating the verse as Outer-tier.

Addressing the Inconsistency

For example, take the whole claim that Medaka somehow reaches immeasurable speed through All Fiction. The logic goes that if she can erase time or make it nonexistent, she should be skipping movement entirely. The problem is that the manga never establishes that in any concrete way. It’s hand-wavy at best and contradicts itself in pretty much every place where it would actually matter and the story doesn’t treat her like someone who breaks time. Most of her fast movement comes from Kurokami Phantom, which is just an absurdly fast FTL technique. That’s it. Meanwhile, Ajimu supposedly has omnipresence in her bag of skills, yet gets blitzed by Iihiko. Then Iihiko gets tagged by Medaka’s End God Mode, which the story explicitly frames as a physical FTL burst.

Then comes the doppelganger confrontation, which dumpster-fires the whole idea even harder. These copies are meant to be mirrors of the originals, yet Kumagawa’s doppelganger gets folded by Zenkichi, despite stalemating the real Kumagawa. That’s the same Kumagawa who beat Ajimu’s doppelganger, who previously stalemated Ajimu herself. And the original Ajimu claims he can’t beat Medaka, yet casually wipes out her doppelganger. If this is meant to support immeasurable anything, it only manages to support narrative convenience, the idea of a doppelganger copying Ajimu herself is just dumb how is that even possible??

The lack of consistent physical stats just wrecks the whole idea and some argue Uni scaling much earlier than that. You’ve got young Kumagawa beating Ajimu into a bloody mess, then later Medaka in War God Mode supposedly beating that same Kumagawa. If she were really on some cosmic tier from the beginning, then it makes no sense that characters like Naze Youka could affect her with syringes or that Takachiho could break her physically or that Gagamaru is strong enough to crush Kumagawa’s skull. Even something as basic as Medaka struggling to break apart her own school contradicts the high-end claims. And the Zenkichi chain just makes the scaling worse, like the time he beats Kumagawa's doppelganger yet he struggles with Nienami and gets folded by Kugurugi, a person Kumagawa no-diffed but Kumagawa can’t beat his doppelganger. The point is, the whole power structure collapses the moment you lay the pieces next to each other.

I could ramble forever, but you get the picture. Characters suddenly become comparable only because the story needs them to be, not because their actual scale or abilities line up. Narrative causality hands out power boosts and parity for whatever emotional beat the plot wants to hit even when the characters themselves are nowhere near the same level in size, force, or scope.

Addressing Ajimu Najimi's Hype

Okay, let’s talk about Ajimu. She gets hyped to absurd levels by the fandom because of the quadrillions of skills and that one line about her perceiving the world as fiction. But once you strip away the noise and just look at what the story itself frames, her ceiling isn’t what power-scalers like to pretend it is. Yes, she perceives the world as fiction, but that’s the whole point, it’s only her perception. Nothing in the narrative validates her view as objectively true. In fact, the story goes out of its way to show that she’s wrong and Medaka Box runs on fourth-wall jokes, meta-narrative satire not just her. That’s the actual conflict she faces during the Student Council Successor arc. Ajimu suffers from what’s essentially a simulated-reality delusion. Her belief that everything around her is “not real” is treated as a psychological and philosophical flaw, not cosmic insight. The arc isn’t whispering she’s above the verse, it’s dragging her back down and making her confront the fact that the world is real, her actions have consequences and she isn’t some detached metafictional god looking down on cardboard cutouts.

Nevertheless, none of this is meant to downplay Ajimu’s status as a godlike figure. She absolutely functions on that level within the verse, she moves through time, constructs abstract spaces, bends reality and manipulates the laws of her world like it’s mundane housekeeping combined with her absurd lifespan, fed and what ultimately pushed into her simulated-reality mindset in the first place. After surpassing herself again and again across countless eras, essentially existing as the only god in a world of mortals, and that isolation warps her perspective. She isn’t above the world so much as she’s exhausted by it, shrinking everyone else into background noise in her mind.

But the key is that this makes her delusional, not transcendent. The narrative draws a clear parallel with the other members of the so-called trinity. Medaka’s own delusion is that she exists solely to serve others, and her overwhelming strength strips life of meaning until she convinces herself enemies are actually friends even pushing her childhood bestie into becoming her rival. Kumagawa, meanwhile, sinks into a self-loathing, nihilistic worldview where even when he wins he insists he didn’t, it became so severe that he sees “being capable of victory” and “actually wanting it” as two entirely different things when we all know that's just outright absurd. Ajimu fits right alongside them. Her powers distorted her outlook until she convinced herself that everything is meaningless because nothing around her feels real anymore. The trio’s divinity, such as it is, comes with fractures. Their issues mirror each other, and Ajimu’s mistake isn’t that she’s too cosmically high, it’s that she let her own power and isolation twist her understanding of reality.

All Fiction

I don’t know about you, but the first time I heard about All Fiction was through Classicmand’s short video on it. It’s one of his older pieces and honestly, it was pretty interesting at the time. Still, for all the reputation All Fiction has as some unstoppable reality-eraser, it comes off as surprisingly flimsy once you actually look at how it behaves in the story. It might as well be competing with the Penance Stare in terms of dramatic hype vs practical output.

Since I can’t fully judge the Shiranui Arc version of Kumagawa, where All Fiction was clearly weakened, it’s still clear even back in the Kumagawa Incident arc that there are many things the ability simply can’t do. For instance, it failed to erase a person’s powers, as we see with how Kumagawa tried to use it on Emukae Mukae, her minus stayed completely intact afterward, and while both Medaka and Kumagawa like to hype All Fiction as something that can “reverse the irreversible and make the impossible possible” that claim doesn’t actually hold up as shortly after that Kumagawa himself admits it was mostly a bluff when we see Zenkichi's eyes were restored by Ajimu. This means a lot of the claims about All Fiction needs to be taken with far more scrutiny, especially statements like Kumagawa saying he could end the world if he were careless or his capacity to erase the very concept of time to spare the world for petty reasons. Notice that both of those moments are just claims, not real demonstrations. They come with the same bluffed, hostile bravado he uses to intimidate and mislead opponents anyway. Plus, I can’t overstate how often All Fiction contradicts itself. The ability that once claimed infinite lives is later disproved to have limits. It can erase abstract concepts, yet Kumagawa still can’t affect anything outside his direct line of sight.

This also undermines the credibility of All Fiction, because most of its strongest and flashiest feats come from the Good Loser Kumagawa side, a prequel where Kumagawa supposedly has even lesser control over the ability. He even says as much. But if the main series already shows him making exaggerated, misleading or outright false claims about All Fiction, then the prequel material becomes even shakier. So the fan-favorite All Fiction feats people love to quote are mostly resting on material that doesn’t line up with the actual canon. Even then, the anime’s big feat is by all means an outlier. It veers way too far from how All Fiction is handled in the source, where the ability is consistently portrayed as far more limited and restrained. It lines up well with the struggles shown in the later arcs. It’s narratively more consistent, and it actually justifies most of the plot progression that unfolds beyond the main storyline.

Conclusion for this section?

In conclusion, I believe Medaka Box (and by extension, Medaka herself) caps far lower than what many fans claim and it certainly doesn’t reach anything close to Outerversal. The so-called reality-transcending material is a mix of character delusion, meta satire and loosely written “dimension” statements that never establish actual higher spatial layers. None of that forms a coherent cosmology or a genuine hierarchy of transcendence. It’s just the series playing with style and theme rather than presenting concrete, scalable structure.

In reality, based on what I can make and affirm myself, I do believe in fact she can somewhat reach cosmic tiers maybe High-Universal with all fiction. It has shown the remove colors out of the world, it can interact with fundamental laws of reality and can even erase people out of existence entirely, due to the lack of actual proper demonstration of higher spatial dimensions, than maybe.. just maybe the infinite nature of what it can achieve combined with her potential scaling Ajimu whom I find to be also High-Uni, than it should enough for now.

Fight Analysis and Wincons

Starting Point

First off, let’s be clear here for a sec, Power Girl wipes Medaka in any straight physical fight. You’re comparing planetary to outerversal, potentially high-universal to potentially high-outer and speeds ranging from SoL to FTL against infinite or outright immeasurable. The gap is ridiculous. Medaka’s Main Character status is just a narrative gimmick inside her own setting, functioning more like exaggerated luck than anything else. She’s a big fish in a very tiny pond and she’s completely out of her depth here.

Power Girl, on the other hand, regularly deals with outright magic users, cosmic threats and multiversal heavy-hitters. That kind of environment makes Medaka’s luck gimmick feel like a party trick. It won’t carry her against someone who lives in a setting where punching through universes is just another Tuesday, as for her The End ability can easily be regarded as NLF wincon. Even setting everything else aside, Medaka’s toolbox just doesn’t hold up. She can’t properly copy Styles and the strongest thing she can ever mirror is All Fiction. At the absolute highest possible wank, AF caps out as a 4D ability tied to causality. Meanwhile, Power Girl sits comfortably in Outer ranges, a tier that outright surpasses dimensional structures altogether. Medaka getting overpowered by someone whose strength originates from another dimension already shows how limited her verse really is.

It’s part of why kinda I cut out combat skill as a section inside this blog. No matter how many techniques Medaka shows, Medaka Box characters are physically fragile. They hit hard but they break just as easily. Ajimu claiming of getting killed by a black hole is a perfect example. Nothing in Medaka’s actual, non-meta techniques is harming Power Girl in a straight physical exchange. And speed makes it even worse. Medaka gets pushed by FTL speeds, let alone against immeasurable. Even if you grant her the speed wank, it’s basically a hax-like skip, not true movement which PG can surely pick-up as she has legitimate immeasurable-speed scaling and keeps up with characters who also operate on that level. In DC, immeasurable is so common it may as well be quantifiable and Medaka just doesn’t reach that threshold.

However...

Can't Medaka just spam her hax?

The things Medaka Box characters are renowned for, though The End is removed from the equation because she can’t copy Power Girl’s outerversal stats or anything even remotely close. That forces Medaka to rely solely on the abilities she’s already copied and people love to argue she can just flood the fight with her wall-of-text skills. Except she can’t, at least not in my humble opinion, since treating those tiny, single-panel skill blurbs as complete, fully functional abilities is just disingenuous. Powers need to be shown, not mentioned once in microscopic font with no context or demonstration. The story might nod at them but in an actual powerscaling discussion, vague statements without feats simply don’t count. 

Regardless of it's intimidating presentation, many of Ajimu’s wall-of-text abilities read less like coherent mechanics and more like a catalogue of contradictions. Several skills taken at face value, should have produced lethal or irreversible outcomes for the characters involved. Abilities such as Death Mes, Beautiful Last Scene, Last Murder, Deathst Moment, and Sailor Game are framed with consequences that logically ought to be fatal. The only way to reconcile this is to assume Ajimu’s revival-related skills are far more flexible than presented, which already places the text at odds with itself.

On top of that, a large portion of these abilities should have created clear, visible effects that simply never appear. Skills like Hesitate Palace, Cross Utopia, Stronghold in Mystery, Past Intervention, Baby Planet, Boiled Eye, Burst Bust, My Alternative, Welcome Hell, Swim Ink, Slash Nihilism, Knocking Old Bridge, Skin Needle, Spiral Needle, Doping Mole, Mantis Core, and Problematica Stream are introduced with descriptions that imply sensory or environmental impact. The story, however, provides no such indication. Their absence makes the list feel less like established canon and more like ornamental fluff.

Inconsistencies extend to individual skills as well. Sword Looks is described as a “sword purification skill,” yet in Good Loser Kumagawa, Ajimu uses it to create a sword and attach a conceptual restriction to it. Nothing about that usage aligns with the stated function of purification. It suggests the description is either incomplete or in conflict with what the narrative actually shows. Repeater Kitsch is labeled a “revival skill,” but Ajimu explicitly states in Good Loser Kumagawa that reviving someone through skills is impossible and that All Fiction only achieves it by bending the rules. Even Medaka’s revivals through Five Forks can be interpreted as a loophole rather than genuine restoration. Having a revival skill on the list contradicts the internal logic the story later sets.

Finally, Unskilled is presented as a don’t use skills skill, which is already vague, but later material clarifies that it nullifies the user’s own abilities for a maximum of three minutes. This discrepancy alone shows how oversimplified the original description is. Worse, Ajimu proceeds to use Count Up immediately after supposedly activating Unskilled, contradicting the supposed limitations outright. So taken together, these issues reveal that the wall-of-text skills are not reliable indicators of Ajimu’s true capabilities. They function more as stylistic flair than consistent mechanics, and the contradictions between their descriptions and their portrayals make them a weak foundation for serious analysis.

This means the abilities listed in the wall-of-text simply cannot be taken at face value. Their descriptions are too inconsistent and unsupported to function as reliable evidence. Because of that, Medaka cannot be argued to gain sudden power boosts through abilities like Humor Contract or Present for You, nor can she be treated as universally scaled just because one entry mentions a “create a universe” skill. For the same reason, she cannot be assumed to defeat Power Girl through magic skills or transcending dimensions because of a vaguely stated "surpassing dimensions" skill. These statements look impressive, but they aren’t backed by clear mechanics, feats, or stable presentation and are too structurally unstable to use as solid justification for any of it to work it on Power Girl.

Stats > Hax (and NLFs)

It’s ironic, because this works as a direct reversal of my earlier blog about Cyn’s overwhelming hax advantage over Malware’s raw stats. I mentioned the same principle applies in the opposite direction as well, and this situation illustrates that perfectly. Medaka Box already provided a clear example of this dynamic where Medaka’s abilities simply couldn’t function against Iihiko because his superiority was too overwhelming for her hax to matter. But the issue is that people tend to argue back and forth over presentation, insisting it's to that than one might seem, despite the series itself repeatedly shows the limitations of its own mechanics.

I’ve already explained that Medaka Box’s scaling is inconsistent because of its reliance on narrative causality, that the wall-text skills function more as stylistic flavor than actual mechanics, and that Ajimu’s supposed R>F perspective is better understood as part of her own exaggerated self-image and the series’ comedic framing rather than real transcendence. Most of the evidence for that view comes from meta-narrative satire and fourth-wall jokes, which cannot be treated as literal feats or legitimate higher-tier scaling.

You understand the author’s intent behind Styles and their words transcend dimensions idea, but the story never provides a clear or coherent medium showing how those words actually reach higher-dimensional spaces. Iihiko’s role functioning as a metanarrative stand-in for the reader. That’s why no hax, no skills, and none of Medaka’s abilities work on him. To him, those abilities are just fictional tricks on a page, while he remains tangible enough for characters to interact with. Medaka can hurt him only because protagonists, by narrative logic, can clash with each other.

The cast is built around narrative archetypes. Medaka embodies the ideal protagonist whose growth is limitless simply because she must always be capable of overcoming obstacles. Kumagawa is the archetypal antagonist, defined by inevitable loss, which is why his ability exists to deny truth but never to rewrite his fate. Ajimu stands in for the author, seeing the world as ink rather than people, and becoming bored from her absolute freedom. Hanten functions as the editor, stepping in to maintain the story after the author is removed. Iihiko sits above all of them as the reader, the one perspective the story cannot overpower or control and the same reason authors like Ajimu could not beat him. Due to that position Iihiko holds, he is unaffected by the characters’ powers in the same way a reader is immune to fictional abilities. He can tear pages while the characters can only act within them. Only another protagonist has any real chance of beating him, which is why Ajimu put so much effort into shaping Zenkichi into a secondary main character. She gave him the tools, the roles, and the narrative positioning to stand on equal footing with him when the time came.

The explanation for Iihiko’s immunity is honestly pretty strange. The story insists he isn’t more resistant, but that abilities simply can’t reach him. Taken literally, dafuq is that suppose to mean, like REALLY? What’s happening in canon isn’t mechanically defined at all, but it lines up with his role as the reader where none of the characters’ abilities can affect him because, symbolically, fictional powers can’t do anything to someone outside the story. It fits the theme, but it also creates a mess for power-scaling, because the logic behind it isn’t grounded in any consistent system or structure. Even Ajimu’s defeat reinforces this problem. There’s no genuine in-universe justification for someone with her level of supposed power to lose that easily to Iihiko. No matter how you interpret her abilities, her loss doesn’t make sense on a mechanical level. It only happens because narrative causality demands it.

What I’m getting at for the millionth time is that Medaka Box is just a terrible series to powerscale. It never lays out clear in-universe mechanics, and when you try to translate its narrative quirks into the kind of rules we use for proper scaling, everything falls apart. I want to say Power Girl could simply resist all of Medaka’s abilities, because on paper her explanation leans that way. But if I’m being honest, it’s the same problem in reverse. Power Girl doesn’t meet the specific criteria that made Iihiko untouchable, so it’s not accurate to claim she’d be outright immune to Medaka’s hax. The comparison just doesn’t map cleanly because Medaka Box mechanics aren’t built to function under that kind of scrutiny.

Can Peegee overcome Medaka's Haxes All Fiction?

Note that I said overcome anything and not just resist here. All Fiction is basically her last meaningful card and the only thing that even keeps Medaka alive in the conversation. Her tier has already been dismantled in which makes her broader hax set collapses under basic NLF problems and internal inconsistency while the wall-of-text skills amount to a pile of statements that can’t be treated as functional abilities. Technique doesn’t bridge massive power gaps, so she’s left with All Fiction as her only workable option.

Honestly, the fact that most arguments hinge on an ability she barely uses in the actual story, and that people have to lean on Kumagawa’s interpretations just to make it look functional, says everything. Medaka ends up feeling like she’s already a step behind before the fight even starts. Her ability is irritating in concept and about as stubborn as she is, but that doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. There are plenty of ways around it, and Power Girl has more than enough tools in her kit to counter, bypass, or outright overwhelm what Medaka brings to the table. One way or another, Peegee has the means to push through and secure the win

Power Girl has repeatedly shown she can handle reality-warping and magical attacks without folding instantly. She’s endured magical lightning, recovered from it almost immediately and even shrugged off a redirected blast of Shazam’s lightning. She’s also fought magic-based lifeforms more than once, proving that supernatural or reality-bending forces don’t automatically put her at a disadvantage. While it’s true that magic can bypass her invulnerability and affect her, calling it a vulnerability is misleadinga as almost anyone can be impacted by magic, and bypassing her defenses doesn’t automatically let you overpower her physically or break her will.

This is all before even accounting for the nature and potency of DC’s magic itself. Within DC’s cosmology, magic isn’t just a thematic weakness or a flashy plot device. It’s described as a byproduct of Creation, comparable to glitches in foundational code that drift through the universe until someone abandoned or overlooked picks them up. In its earliest form, magic existed as the raw “light of possibility” surrounding the forming Multiverse, predating the Sphere of the Gods and even the Old and New Gods. Eventually, it crystallized into one of the Seven Forces of the Universe: the Sphere of the Gods, which serves as the fundamental, primal source of all magic. Magic in DC twists time and space with no inherent rules or constraints, reaching across all eras, worlds and dimensions. It’s everywhere and nowhere at the same time, and any disturbance to it carries catastrophic consequences. Wonder Woman outright states that if magic were ever destroyed, the entire fabric of reality would collapse with it.

As noted, the Sphere of Gods exists at baseline or two layers into Outerversal, which means magic naturally carries that same degree of potency because it originates directly from that realm. This level of power comes with the ability to manipulate causality, space-time, minds and even life itself as Magic has shown to twist time and space, and produce effects without their causes. It can reshape probability and operate through subjective reality since it’s built on belief and possibility. It can warp reality because it’s tied into the fabric of existence, with every spell functioning as a direct rewrite of the surrounding world, manipulate information, due to being composed of the discarded code of creation and the stray errors left over from the universe’s formation. Making it a heavy, overbearing force loaded with effects that distort space, time, reality, causality, information and probability, all of which Kara has endured and fought through before.

Together with All Fiction’s flaws, it's failure to overpower Iihiko alongside its inability to undo his irreversible damage and the shaky narrative basis for it's higher-end claims make it hard to treat as some unstoppable win button. DC magic on the other hand, operates at Outerversal and has repeatedly shown the capacity to manipulate space, time, causality, information and probability in ways Kara has already endured. Even the supposed existence erasure angle falls apart when Kumagawa himself might be wrong and admits it was huge a bluff to provoke Shiranui into admitting her feelings, while Kara has an actual on-panel feat of resisting multiversal erasure during the Adjudicator incident, got tagged by Maaldor’s eye beams which literally siphon life force, and it only left her dazed for a moment. When she shook it off, she even hinted this kind of thing is just a Kryptonian Tuesday. Then later she ate an even stronger life-drain from an actual god of death. It did wear her down but she still held together, which says plenty about how stubborn her biology is when something tries to erase her from the inside out.

Other Factors?

So what are other factors can Medaka use? Weighted Words and brainwashing or mind torture via Scar Dead not work because Peegee has shown unmatched resilience on that department, she’s tanked and shaken off so many mind-benders that it’s kind of embarrassing for everyone who keeps trying. When three demons brainwashed the JSA, JLA, and the Legion into brawling each other, she was the only JSA member who snapped out of it, she’s broken mental attacks by centering herself, dispelled illusions that made her live through multiple deaths and even while amnesiac managed to shrug off a psychic hit. Additionally, Synjin couldn’t rewrite her body and soul into a Warboy, briefly broke free of the Philosopher’s Stone, wasn’t taken by the Anti-Life Equation and remembers Maxwell Lord even after he brainwashes the planet and when he does it again she still remembers him subconsciously, which pushes Maxwell to overexert himself just to affect her, she has also freed herself from psychic effects that blanketed all of Metropolis, made herself straight-up immune to Johnny Sorrow’s illusions and when all else fails she can literally punch illusions apart on the astral level.

Can Power Girl overcome Medaka's Immortality?

As we all know, Medaka can erase her own death and effectively rewinding its causality so it never happened, which naturally raises the question. Does Kara have any way to make a win actually stick? On paper you could argue she just overwhelms Medaka the way Iihiko did Ajimu and Kumagawa, but that comparison falls apart fast as Iihiko could inflict irreversible damage, which is the only reason his kills bypassed All Fiction. Kara doesn’t have anything like that. Even if she blitzes Medaka a hundred times over before she reacts, All Fiction operates automatically and would still function after the fact and undo the result. So Kara ends up in a position where she dominates every exchange but lacks the specific mechanism needed to shut down Medaka’s revivals where Medaka, in turn, refuses to stay gone. But, anti-climactic as it seems, all Kara has to do is just repeat as until she just kinda runs out of lives as it's explicitly stated that All Fiction's revival has a limit.

Verdict?

This whole matchup should’ve been straightforward than this blog planned out to be. Medaka only beats Power Girl in the versions of the debate where people crank her into Low-Outer or Outer levels she’s never actually operated at, that lets her copy Kara’s powers or brute-force her through sheer hax. Once you toss out that inflated nonsense, the picture changes fast as she can’t copy Kara’s stats, she can’t brute-scale to her output and most of her other gimmicks fall apart the moment you stop treating them like limitless miracle buttons.

That leaves All Fiction as her one real win condition. And even then, its track record is messy. It doesn’t work on certain opponents, its scope fluctuates, its supposed absoluteness gets undercut by its own narrative loopholes and half the feats people lean on come from moments where the characters themselves admit they might be bluffing. Meanwhile Kara has resisted every flavor of erasure, memory wipe, mind break, soul alteration, illusion and conceptual tampering DC’s gods, demons, telepaths and cosmic freaks have thrown at her without reducing her to paste. When the Adjudicator was erasing the multiverse, she held on longer than entire teams of herald-tier heroes. All Fiction doesn’t get to hand-wave past that just because it’s stylish.

So you end up Power Girl has countless avenues to put Medaka down, overwhelm her, restrain her, outpace her or just smash her face in before she can react. Medaka has exactly one card to play, and even that card is wobbly, inconsistent, and nowhere near the guaranteed instant-kill people pretend it is. Strip away the hype, the headcanon power inflation and the NLF-soaked arguments and Medaka isn’t the unstoppable reality-eating meta-god fans market her as. Kara’s toolbox is huge while Medaka’s one shot is shaky at best.

The Winner is The Busty, Charismatic Kryptonian Greatness and DC's renowned Superheroine, Power Girl!

Final Disclaimer: Thanks again, guys, for helping me finish another debating blog. Medaka Box is a frustrating rabbit hole to dig through and while the verdict and the fight analysis might come off anticlimactic, at least I pushed through the nonsense. I went in and broke down the inflated scaling, the constant overhyping and the high-end takes that fall apart the moment you actually check the material. It’s a lot to sift through, but at least it’s consistent now. And even though I didn’t go with my Barbie vs Miku blog this time, I’ll make sure the next one gets done the way it should for my upcoming Next Time.

I did not like and wish not to go through Medaka Box ever again..
