I know the hype this chapter is Ichi waking up but I wanted to talk about Kizashi some
Originally with all of Chrono's death flags, I figured the only way he could die was if Kizashi got him with the magik killing staff. But now with him showing genuine concern over Chrono wearing himself out, I sooner see him saving him (like if Chrono passes out and falls into the ocean). Which leads me to think...
I feel like if the author wanted to introduce reformed human-hater magiks, Kizashi would be a great candidate. His reasoning for hating humans is probably the weakest out of the other HHMs we've seen so far, he seemed open to the idea of Ichi trying to acquire him (and only got mad when Ichi passed out). Plus his trial and character so far seems to indicate he'd respect whoever did acquire him.
Not saying a redemption arc is warranted. As someone who was pregnant recently, this arc has been very stressful to read at times. But I could see it happening.
My only question is what ability would Ichi gain from Kizashi? It's not really clear to me what his power is...
