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 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, homeschool teacher, and yet a discipliner, who thinks Kaname will live up to his "high expectations" for his grades at school in a way to accept him to Tokyo University. But, however, Jiro punches him if he doesn't meet up when Kaname is studying his exams.
 * 2) Thus, His abuse is also the source of Kaname's sadistic complex nature, leading him to verbally abuse Aya as a stress relief for the fun of it. Then, made him lack any friends, thought the humans are "scums" and being a "waste of their time", and with God as his "savior".
 * 3) Aside from being responsible for having his son abuse Aya just like him, his reveal as a generic domestic abuser was obvious considering how it was his fault for having Kaname committing the crimes that he had done like Kaname using Nijimi's panties to control and then steal magic sticks.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) He is a selfless, greedy parent who thinks that Kaname will be accepted to Tokyo University as his "fulfilling dream". And hopes that he will ensure his son will study everyday without any average scores on every exams.
 * 6) His motives even makes Gozuburo Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Nezu Dohachiro from Reborn!, and Jae Galhyun from The Devil's Boy look like amateurs.
 * 7) He keeps repeating occasions like telling Kaname to meet his "high expectations" because of said studying to his education.
 * 8) He neglects and ignores her daughter, Aya, because she was not his biological child. He is not even aware that Aya was beaten Kaname, who has been enduring his so-called "expectations" on his grades and wants her to help him relief his stress to get away from him.
 * 9) 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.
 * 10) He never apologizes to Kaname, along with his wife and Aya.
 * 11) He literally keeps his son from studying in order to ensure his grades are perfect, every single day and pressures him nonstop that he would beat him if he fails or being average.
 * 12) The way he's pressuring Kaname so hard at his studies, 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 (but ended up beating him up because of said college). Seriously. While it's inaccurate in the real world, people don't get traumatized when they fail.
 * 13) *However, he may have overreacted for unexplained reasons and wouldn't even bother to go to a therapist to solve his problem.
 * 14) 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, 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".
 * 15) He maybe an abusive man. But as a parent, he acts very out of character for the following reasons:
 * 16) *It is mentioned before (in WHS #9) was that he failed at college and was traumatized by it.
 * 17) *Before Aya was adopted from the family, Jiro murdered his wife's second biological child by punching the child's womb, rather than taking her to the hospital (just because he was traumatized by said college failure).
 * 18) *HYPOCRISY: He cares that Kaname would only get perfect scores on his exams. But hates "average" scores that are just 98 percent on his son's exams and would hit him as a disappointment.
 * 19) *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 (even he was abusing his son and forced him to do horrible things). But, assures that his son would come back and "beat" some sense back into him.
 * 20) *After Kaname disappeared, he lost all hope and was forced to drink a lot of alcohol. Then, hits his wife out of frustration because of said Kaname's disappearance.
 * 21) *When Kaname was found, Jiro STILL didn't learn about his son's whereabouts when he was in a conversation with Detective Misumi, a month ago.
 * 22) *When Kaname went back home to warn he and his wife. But, he punches and despises Kaname on leaving him for a month, and wants him to keep up with his studies by using Nijimi's panties. But, his actions would get him arrested.
 * 23) *He doesn't have any acknowledgement with the Magical Girl Site, instead he just uses Nijimi's panties to command whatever he wants and knows how it works. Jiro even lacks any belief that the site admins needed to be destroyed for their dangerous, murderous tendencies and only cares about again, studying with Kaname.
 * 24) **He thought that using Nijimi's panties to control others can keep Kaname from studying, daily. But, doubts that his son will improve his grades and get him accepted to Tokyo University as a "fufilling dream".
 * 25) **He doesn't care about Aya as his adopted daughter nor sharing his bloodline. But, tried to get rid of her because of what he had said to Aya (when he thinked that Aya was "attacking" his father, while she was just trying to protect him).
 * 26) IDIOT MOVE: Jiro, using Nijimi's panties, forced one of the site admins, Juni to leave the house instead of destroying it.
 * 27) * Many minutes later, Juni returned to Aya's home and still continues killing Aya's family. However, The panties backfired when Jiro tells Juni to stop and dies from wasting lifespan.
 * 28) 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.
 * 29) He's like an abusive counterpart of Uncle Ben, the uncle of Peter Parker/Spider-Man from the Marvel Comics if he is irresponsible and thinks that "with great studying comes high expectations."
 * 30) He is less unlikeable than Kaname, Sarina and her friends.
 * 31) The 2nd, 5th, and 12th Bad Qualities has been hidden that he surprisingly hates his wife and daughter, along with all the other girls and it was a sexist! But, he only cares Kaname, as a succeeding student. Seriously.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He is not evil as Kaname were to become. And also, he's not as sociopathic than his son.
 * 2) Despite being abusive as mentioned before, he was a tragic man who is the "king of losers" with his education by Kaname and you feel really sorry about this middle aged man even though he is still responsible for murdering his wife's second child from the womb, and the source of Kaname's sadistic nature.
 * 3) In the final chapter when Aya prevented people from misfortune, he seems to reform himself where Jiro no longer has to endure pressuring his son to study hard and beat him as a disappointment and got over his failure at college.
 * 4) 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 pressuring Kaname into studying hard.
 * 5) He has no mention that he abused Aya at all.
 * 6) His voice acting is good.
 * 7) His character design is well-made.
 * 8) He is an epitome of how NOT to pressure and educate people with academic perfection along with how NOT to neglect children (just like her wife), and how NOT to overreact after failing an exam at college.

Trivia:

 * Jiro is similar to Jae Galhyun, the father of the delinquent/bully, Jae Galhwa, from The Devil's Boy:
 * Both verbally abuse their sons and pressure them to study and not care much about their mental lives.
 * Both are the source of their sons' violent, sadistic nature as they beat up and torture people to solve their problems.
 * There is a difference that Galhyun doesn't have another child, just his wife's stepson. As Jiro's second child was killed by him from his wife's womb. While Galhyun describes Galhwa as a sore loser, as with Jiro describing Kaname as a succeeding student.
