Nikaidou: [crosses the entire school and appears around the corner behind them in like 3 seconds] "Nikaidou-san... doesn't lie for her own sake"

[In the background: A-YA-YA-YA-YYYYY! Bass drops]

Bully: "Nikaidou-san! M-Masaka?!"

Nikaidou: [poses menacingly]

"Kirigaya-san. I see that you made Tadokoro-san tell a lie."

"To be continued"..

Is this where i play Roundabout music?

I like how Nikaidou leaves to their left which looks to go on for awhile and then three panels later she shows up to their right implying she just did a lap around that building in a matter of seconds.

Yeah that confuses me. I like the scene but we don't even know where they are in order to guess how sakurako went one way and showed up another. Unless maybe your theory is what the artist intended as the joke.

I think it's a joke, it fits the pattern of her snatching a baseball out of the air, beating truck-kun to Tadokoro and getting a perfect score on the first game she's ever played.

Exactly, it’s somewhat like Spongebob humor.

I think I can hear the Undertaker's theme play in the background.

Here's how I'm interpreting it:

Finally got the time to edit this myself. Here's how I'm interpreting it, with Nikaidou turning for a moment to wave and say goodbye:

"Tadokoro-san" is well liked by the crowd here, but for a short 4-page chapter to see such a massive and enthusiastic reaction in such a short time... well, I do think it's a first.

I surmise it has to do with the straightforwardness and unpretentiousness of the currently developing plot. A cute, sweet, helpless heroine everybody likes. A villain with a heart black as pitch who torments her. A hero who is the very image of a knight in shining armor who arrives just in time to save the damsel and mete out punishment to the miscreant. It has a charming simplicity it's difficult not to enjoy. v^_^v

I loved that kind of stories when I was a child.
I still love 'em today.
Doctor, am I a bad adult?

...Huh

I mean, I'm not argue against it. I'm just not seeing it. Even if you took away the implication that she was moving left, I don't necessarily see any implication or idea that she walked backwards.

In any case, the amount of confusion means that the mangaka could have probably shown it better, but at least enough of us got the idea. :)

Don't bother thinking how nikaidou get behind them so fast I mean , she even dodge truck-kun pointblank and grab a high speed pitch without even looking she's OP ahahaha, ain't gonna surprise if she parkour her way behind them ahaha

I legitimately don't see how you could possibly interpret it this way. There's nothing to suggest Nikaidou went to the right here at all and her facing to the left suggests she would have randomly had to turn around just to go that direction.

Lol, nice.

And yeah, Roundabout is goddamn perfect here.

Admittedly, we've all missed the obvious explanation:

Teleportation is another option.

Or... a twin!

BADASS NIKAIDOU-SAN STRIKES AGAIN

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Honestly, I just want to give Bully-san a hug now. And some tissues

I haven't seen a bully get destroyed that hard in a long time. Getting completely destroyed emotionally by your crush has to be an awful feeling, but who else can you blame but your self? When it's your own actions that caused them to despise you.

Bitch got sat the fuck down

I just love it when bullys gets what's coming to them.

Dang...wonder if the bully gets a redemption arc now. Because sweet lord, that was a complete dismantling with so few words.

Damn Nikaidou is Alpha as fuck. Also the author went pretty hard on bully chan. Wonder if she'll get any more significant appearances after that destruction.

If only it worked like this, but it doesn't. Kirigaya had been completely, gleefully unrepentant up until now, even admitting she knew she was doing wrong the whole time. The only thing that changed is she got called on it, not what a completely shit person she is and always has been. The author can attempt to wrap things up with a few Deus Ex Machina lines saying "she just went through a complete, redemptive emotional/personal transformation in this instant" all they want, but I don't buy it.
