Jiro Asagiri

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 domestic abuser and a discipliner, who thinks Kaname will live up to his "high expectations" for his school grades in a way to accept him to Tokyo University. But, however, Jiro 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 neglects and ignores her daughter Aya, because she wasn't his biological daughter.
 * 4) He is the source of Kaname's sadistic complex nature, leading him to verbally abuse Aya as stress relief for the fun of it and made his son thought that humans are "scums" that are a waste of their time and God as his "savior".
 * 5) He is also largely responsible for all abuse that he did to his son along with the crimes that he had done like Kaname using Nijimi's panties to control and then steal magic sticks.
 * 6) While he and his wife cared for and loved their children, they barely 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 with things such as Aya.
 * 7) 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" to relieve his stress.
 * 8) He barely has any personality or character development at all.
 * 9) He has the tendencies to punch Kaname for his troubles.
 * 10) He is not aware that abusing Kaname would lead him to be a complex sadist that uses Aya to relive his stress to beat her up and lacking no friends.
 * 11) He is a selfish parent who cares nothing more than "studying" when he pressures Kaname.
 * 12) He never learns anything about his son '' s true nature.
 * 13) 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.
 * 14) *Even when 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.
 * 15) 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 very cruel things to Aya and the others.
 * 16) The way he's pressuring Kaname so hard at his education, along with abusing and neglecting his wife and daughter, is that Jiro was assumed that he was at college and failed, resulted in him getting traumatized by it and wants Kaname to go there on his side. While it's inaccurate in the real world, people don't get angry when they fail. However, he may have overreacted for no explained reasons.
 * 17) The manga's second half expects the readers to "sympathize" with Jiro just because he was assumed to have failed at college. But, the fact that he abuses, pushes and tried to control Kaname in order to use him to study and make him a successful student. He had no sympathy in the past, unlike Kaname's, when he killed his wife's second unborn child, and literally abusing his wife and children in front of him just to prove himself that going to college is his "fulfilling dream".
 * 18) He treats his wife and children as "retards", "fools", and "idiots" who think they are "playing" around with him, due to being traumatized by failing at college.
 * 19) He maybe an abusive man, but as a parent, he acts very out of character for the following reasons:
 * 20) *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.
 * 21) *HYPOCRISY: He cares only that Kaname would only get perfect scores on his exams. But hates "average" scores that are just 98 percent on his son's exams whenever Jiro is upset as a disappointment.
 * 22) *He barely cares about Aya, but didn't realized that Kaname had been wandering and slacking off a lot lately for leaving the house in the morning, lately. But, assures that his son would come back and "beat" some sense back into him.
 * 23) *Since Kaname disappeared, he lost all hope and was forced to drink some alcohol, but hits his wife out of frustration because of his disappearance.
 * 24) *After Kaname was found, he STILL didn't learn about Kaname's whereabouts when he was in a conversation with Detective Misumi, a month ago.
 * 25) *He hits and despises Kaname for leaving him for a month, and wants him to keep up with his studies and his actions would get him arrested.
 * 26) *He thinks using Nijimi's panties to control others can keep Kaname from studying day and night. But, doubts that his son will improve his grades and get him accepted to Tokyo University.
 * 27) *He doesn't care about Aya as his adopted daughter nor sharing her blood. But, tried to get rid of her because of what he had said to Aya.
 * 28) IDIOT MOVE:
 * 29) *Instead of destroying a site admin, Juni, he just forced it to leave. Then he controls Kaname to go to his room to study without any acknowledgment of the magical girl site.
 * 30) * Many minutes later, Juni returned to the Asagiri house and still continues killing Aya's family but it backfired when Jiro tells the admin to stop but the panties resulted in his death from wasting lifespan.
 * 31) 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.
 * 32) 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."
 * 33) He is less unlikeable than Kaname, Sarina and her friends.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He is not evil as Kaname were to become. And of course, he's not as sociopathic and complexed as 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 to his son's education and beating his son up as a disappointment.
 * 3) Since he was using Nijimi's panties, He would have saved his wife and children from the site admins if he didn't get over pushing Kaname into studying hard after his failure at college, many years ago.
 * 4) He has no mention that he abused Aya at all.
 * 5) 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 for 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 along with disgracing his grandson, Shinji, whose neglect left him to torture his sister, Sakura. 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.
