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.

Why He's Loathsome:
1. He is a poor representation of an abusive parent, who thinks Kaname will live up to his "high expectations" for his school grades.

2. He is a domestic abuser who beats up his son Kaname in order to push him into studying hard. Jiro is the source of Kaname's sadistic complex nature, leading him to verbally abuse Aya as a stress relief and turning him a heartless insufferable human being just like him.

3. 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.

4. His reveal as a domestic abuser was obvious considering how it was his fault for making Kaname into a selfish scumbag that abuses Aya as his "punching bag".

5. He acts as a homeschool teacher who disciplines.

6. 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.

7. He never apologizes to Kaname and literally keeps him from studying in order to ensure his studies are perfect, every single day. If he doesn't, Jiro would hit Kaname as a disappointment leading him to do terrible things to Aya and the others.



8. 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.

9. 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.

10. He acts very out of character for the following reasons:

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.

Since Kaname disappeared, he lost all hope and was forced to become an alcoholic because of his disappearance. Since Kaname was found, he STILL didn't learn about Kaname's whereabouts during a conversation with Detective Misumi.

He doesnt care about Aya not being his daughter and tried to get rid of her because of what he had said to Aya.

He cares only about his son with only perfect scores, but hates "average" scores that are 98 percent on his exams if he were to hit him as a disappointment.

11. 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.

Redeeming Qualities:
1. He lacks no evil than Kaname ever does

2. He has little character development

3. 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

4. Of course, he's not sociopathic and god complex-induced as his son, Kaname.

5. Since 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

6. His character design is good.

7. His voice acting is good
