Was reading through some Medaka Box threads, and these two things caught my eye.
Screw Spawning:
So, in Kumagawa's profile, it says that he can spawn his screws directly inside people, using this scan as an example . Now, like most things Medaka Box, I doubt it's actually explained how he does that, but I don't think it's just making them appear inside someone's body.
For one, he did that while he had All Fiction, and, in fact, that was done immediately after he did his famous "erase time" move. The impression I got was that he just erased time and blitzed her, just like he did with the others right before that.
Although I guess both could be valid interpretations, him being able to just make Bookmaker appear inside someone doesn't really go well with some things that happen in the main story. For example, his fight with Medaka after he got Bookmaker back. He didn't have All Fiction then, and he didn't manage to hit her with a screw, he even mentions that he couldn't find an opening to do so. In fact, he had to ask her to let him hit the screw, which she did. If he could just make it appear inside her, I don't see why he'd have to do that.
In fact, the only other time I remember him doing something similar was when he fought the Style girl that dismantled their plane, and he had All Fiction then.
Passive Resurrection:
I see many people in both Misogi and Medaka's matches claiming that the All Fiction resurrection ability is passive, and just kinda heals them by itself, but I don't think that's the case either.
So, as everyone knows, when Misogi dies he gets sent to Ajimu's pocket dimension room. Zenkichi went there as well when he died (not exactly the same place, but you get the point). Thing is, this shows that Kumagawa wasn't really dead. Like, he was dead, but not, like . . . dead.
What I mean is, his mind/soul/consciousness still exist after he dies. And, if so, couldn't it be that he just activates his All Fiction from Ajimu's room? His disembodied consciousness still exists, so his resurrection doesn't necessarily have to be an automatic thing, since he himself could very well be the one who does it.
And, really, that seems to be the case. For example, when Kumagawa decides to try getting Bookmaker back from Ajimu, he makes Chougasaki kill him, and takes a while to resurrect. He even mentions that he'll only come back after a week, and that the guy should hide his body in the meantime. Hell, when he's talking to Ajimu, he prepares to leave after she refuses to give him his Minus back, and does resurrect only after leaving the room through the door.
This seems to imply pretty heavily that Kumagawa is the one that activates the resurrection. Leaving the room seems to be what triggers All Fiction.
If that's the case, a possible weakness for him and Medaka would be to just destroy their mind/souls/consciousness, so that they can't bring themselves back.
What ya'll think?
