Jiro Asagiri

"Don't lose your focus. I have high expectations for you. Don't let me down."

-Jiro telling Kaname to meet up his "high expecations." Jiro Asagiri is a minor antagonist of the manga Magical Girl Site. He is the adopted father of Aya Asagiri and the abusive father of Kaname Asagiri. In this series, he is like a dicipline homeschool teacher who pressures Kaname into studying in order to take him to Tokyo University. If he fails or get it average, Jiro will hit him as a disappointment. He is the source of Kaname's sadistic complex nature who uses Aya as a stress relief to get away from him.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is a poor representation of a homeschool teacher, who thinks Kaname will live up to his "high expectations" for his school grades, but he beats him if he doesn't meet up.
 * 2) He is a selfless parent who thinks that Kaname will be accepted to Tokyo University as his "fulfilling dream".
 * 3) He is the source of Kaname's sadistic complex nature, leading him to verbally abuse Aya as a stress relief and made his son thinked that humans are "scums".
 * 4) He is also largely responsible for all abuse that he did to his son and the crimes Kaname had sadistically done like Kaname using Nijimi's panties to control and steal magic sticks.
 * 5) While he and his wife cared and loved their children, they rarely interact with their children in an average normal way. Even if their son Kaname, whom his father abuses him and pushes him to study, is not doing anything wrong.
 * 6) His reveal as a domestic abuser was obvious considering how it was his fault for making Kaname into a sadistic torturer that abuses Aya as his "punching bag".
 * 7) He barely has any personality or character development at all.
 * 8) He has a tendency to punch Kaname for his troubles.
 * 9) He is not aware that abusing Kaname would led him to be a cruel person to others, and lacking no friends.
 * 10) He is a selfish parent who cares nothing more than "studying" when he pressures Kaname.
 * 11) He never learns anything about son '' s cruelty.
 * 12) He may want his son to succeed in his grades, but Jiro also punches him whenever he doesn't get a perfect score on his exams, all because it was assumed that he was unable to enter Tokyo University and wants Kaname to do it in his place.
 * 13) His goals don't make sense, where he wants to have Kaname be accepted to Tokyo University, so that his son can be on top of his grades.
 * 14) He never apologizes to Kaname, along with his wife and Aya. But Jiro literally keeps his son from studying in order to ensure his studies are perfect, every single day. he doesn't, Jiro would hit Kaname as a disappointment leading him to do terrible things to Aya and the others.
 * 15) The way he's pushing Kaname so hard at his education, along with abusing his wife and daughter, is that Jiro was assumed that he was at college and failed, resulted him to traumatized by it. While its inaccurate in the real world, people dont get angry when they fail. However, Mr Asagiri may have overreacted for no explained reasons.
 * 16) The manga's second half expects the readers to "sympathize" with Mr Asagiri just because he was assumed to have failed at college, but the fact that he abuses, pushes, and tried controling Kaname so that he can use him to study and make him an succeeding student, killed his wife's second unborn child, and literally abusing his wife and children in front of him just to prove himself to be a better parent.
 * 17) He acts very out of character for the following reasons:
 * 18) *Before Aya was adopted, Jiro murdered his wife's second biological child by punching the child's womb, rather than taking her to the hospital.
 * 19) *HYPOCRISY: He cares only about his son getting only perfect scores on his exams, but hates "average" scores that are 98 percent on Kaname's exams if Jiro were to hit him as a disappointment.
 * 20) *He didn't realized that Kaname had been slacking for leaving the house in the morning, lately. But, assures that his son should "beat" him back in shape when he comes back.
 * 21) *Since Kaname disappeared, he lost all hope and was forced to become an alcoholic that hits his wife because of his disappearance.
 * 22) *Since Kaname was found, he STILL didn't learn about Kaname's whereabouts when he was in a conversation with Detective Misumi, a month ago.
 * 23) *He hits Kaname for leaving him for a month, and wants him to keep up with his studies.
 * 24) *He thinks using Nijimi's panties can keep Kaname from studying day and night. But proves that his son will improve his grades and get him accepted to Tokyo University.
 * 25) *He doesnt care about Aya as his adopted daughter and tried to get rid of her because of what he had said to Aya.
 * 26) IDIOT MOVE: When a site admins tries attacking him, his wife and son. He then uses Nijimi's panties, but instead destroying the site admin, he just forced it to leave. Then he controls Kaname to go to his room to study without any acknowledgement of the magical girl site. Many minutes later, Mr Asagiri starts to stop a site admin, Juuni, who was forced to leave the house instead of killing it, but it backfired, resulted to his death.
 * 27) He is indeed rubbish than his son Kaname, who also changes from doing the wrongs for the rights, to just randomly becoming "evil" while using Nijimi's panties, despite he had no buildup, character development and any motivation for his actions whatsoever just like him.
 * 28) He's like an abusive counterpart of Uncle Ben, the uncle of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, if he is irresponsible and thinks that "with higher studying comes high expectations."

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He is not as evil as Kaname were to become. And of course, he's not sociopathic and complexed than his son.
 * 2) Despite being abusive as mentioned before, he was a tragic man who is the "king of losers" with his education. Plus, he seems to reform himself in the new timeline when he no longer has to live up for his son's education.
 * 3) Since he was using Nijimi's panties, He would have save his wife and children from the site admins if he didnt get over pushing Kaname into studying hard after his failure at college.
 * 4) His voice acting is good.

Trivia:

 * He is also responsible for making Kaname into a selfish scumbag after all the abuse.
 * Jiro can be compared to Zoken Mato, one of the main antagonists of Fate/Stay Night:
 * Both have reasons to being domestic abusers that treat their families, poorly.
 * There is a difference where Zoken is evil and wants to obtain the Holy Grail in order to become completely immortal. While Jiro is a short tempered man who wants his son, Kaname to study hard and take him to Tokyo University. If his son fails or does it average, Jiro will hit him and is the source of Kaname's sadistic nature.
 * Both neglect and disgraced their family members with Shinji hating Sakura just like Kaname hating Aya, since both sisters were adopted.
 * Jiro can also be compared with Lady Tremaine, the cruel stepmother of Cinderella:
 * There is a difference where Jiro pushes Kaname into studying and beats him if he doesn't succeed, while Lady Tremaine pushes Cinderella as nothing more than a slave to keep her on chores.
