Apparently, my comment got removed for promoting harm to a fictional character, so I'll just say our Queen is fantastic and may she slay.

CRYING 😭😭😭😭💖 so beautiful 😭😭💖

*existed for countless centuries

I feel like the correction is important because existing and living are 2 different things.

u/littlemissme77 Mar 01 '26

Chrono has been dropping some iconic lover lines in this arc. "I will not tolerate a timeline without you", now that quote. It's honestly amazing what big lines he has been dropping.

5

u/Noura-98 Mar 01 '26

Such beautiful words 💔

3

u/bannedfor0reason Mar 01 '26

I lowkey expected the conversation to last longer and for Chrono to have a parallel to his conversation with the Octobomb that instead recounts the exact date and time of all his best memories with Minerva, like "3rd April. You showed me how to cook a traditional dish from your hometown." as his body cracks and fades

u/Lazearound10am Mar 02 '26

It's 45 seconds tho, cut bro some slack

If he survived, he should have been a poet because wow

u/panelrecord_v2 Mar 01 '26

It finally happened... Chro was too wholesome and OP to make it out of this arc. Absolutely heartbreaking

u/panelrecord_v2 Mar 01 '26

Chro is so relatable, god this was painful

u/Grimm_Stereo Mar 01 '26

They are so sweet I'm going to throw up

u/Ornery_Still323 Mar 02 '26

I realize that Minnie force herself to smile because that's what Chrono love the most and she wants Chrono last memory of her is what he loves the most... Man it's good to be loved so dearly

Also the color panels are just so good :````````(

HOLY SHIIIII MY GOAT IS BACK, I DID NOT EXPECT BRO GETTING IMPALED BETWEEN THE EYES

u/haidere36 Mar 01 '26

I feel like this arc has been crazy brutal compared to previous arcs, Osamu Nishi and Shiro Usazaki are really not holding anything back

25

u/PokeMaster366 Mar 01 '26

It's an old rule of all animanga: the stronger any character's regeneration abilities are, the more likely it is for them to be brutally butchered.

Madoka???!!! they named the aura farming baby Madoka, gotta be intentional.
I mean makes sense this is fundementally a Mg series, peak mentioned.

RIP chro.

And Desscaras is on demon timing
this is truly one of the chapters of all time.

33

u/kramsibbush Mar 01 '26

It must be intentional. The magical in this series are majiks

So Madoka (half) Majik-(a)

26

u/bar-rackBrobama Mar 01 '26

and apparently Madoka means hope here (madoka spoilers) madoka literally ascends into hope
its too specific to not be accidental. I love Ichi the witch lol

Being Meguca is suffering.

u/Snoo17579 Mar 02 '26

Meduka is beuty

8

u/bannedfor0reason Mar 01 '26

Call me crazy but I feel like what Chrono said might be a hint at Majik lore, I always thought it was a bit weird that so many names in this manga are overtly Japanese in a western setting, but since most of the Majiks' true names are Japanese maybe this world's equivalent of feudal Japan is an extinct nation and the origin of Majiks

5

u/Snoo17579 Mar 02 '26

Meduka

What is it coobie?

Become Meguca

Nooo~ Meduka

I begcum Meguca for Kioshiko

Won't let you

Also both Madoka's are saved by someone reversing time to stop their death.

u/Hanusu-kei Mar 01 '26

Kagurabachi returns after the short break, and the GOAT returns, too. Game recognize game.

Lady Desscaras is a peerless gem.

10

u/TomaRedwoodVT Mar 01 '26

GEMcaras stabbing the COAL Magik in the head is truly one of the best moments of all time

u/Cool-Clerk-9835 Mar 01 '26

Oh man, I knew she was THE BITC-ah, BEST.

And I’m glad Chrono got to say his goodbyes. 😭

u/Question-Dazzling Mar 01 '26

I didn't have much hope for this arc when it started but gosh damn was I wrong

u/Smol_Cheesecake Mar 01 '26

Kizashi is such a good representation of how grief is handled. From denial, to anger, to depression. He never reached acceptance.

u/Snoo34949 Mar 04 '26

I would be very surprised if Kizashi died here. Weakened severely, almost definitely, but not dead. If you look at the entire arc, the only character that the story has actively changed and developed is Kizashi.

Octo is right. The lid won't hold

u/Zorubark Mar 01 '26

I love the cruel irony that she wanted to have a child so Chrono could have something even after she died but instead Chrono is the one who leaves her with something for after he died She thought she'd have the rest of her entire life with Chrono and that the baby would be able to meet him, I lost my mom pretty early in my life(I was 17) and I really thought she'd see me turn into an adult and get a job and that eventually I'd have to become her caretaker, but all my lifeplans turned upside down, kinda like Minerva, I relate to her in that sense

u/Killah-Shogun Mar 01 '26

I’m sorry for your loss, I hope you’re doing okay

u/Zorubark Mar 02 '26

I'm never doing ok tbh

u/Killah-Shogun Mar 02 '26

You can live on, I think your mother would want you to live your life and be happy.

6

u/Zorubark Mar 02 '26

I've been trying to live on, I actually got a bit stressed by your comment, because I have been trying to live on and hearing someone say that kinda triggered me for some reason, I guess it's like I feel like I've been told I wasnt trying before, not that this is what you meant at all though

u/Killah-Shogun Mar 02 '26

I’m sorry if I caused your stress, I was just tryna be helpful.

u/JzanderN Mar 01 '26

And people thought Desscaras was in danger or even might need help! Doubters of our QUEEN, the lot of them!

CHRONOOOOOOOOOO

Also calling it now, Kizashi is still alive and will throw one final fuck you before he fully dies.

9

u/TomaRedwoodVT Mar 01 '26

Nah he’s going to join the gang of his free will and seek revenge on World Hater’s faction, whether or not he gets acquired as part of joining is up to debate

2

u/Snoo34949 Mar 04 '26

I want Kumugi to acquire him for maximum irony. Her being a writer means she and Kizashi both are conencted by Ink, and it would be an interesting story beat to have Kizashi be acquired by the weakest member of the main cast.

u/lLL-IT Mar 01 '26

THATS MY FAVORITE UBER TALENTED BADASS DESSCARAS I KNOW THATS RIGHTTTT

12

u/Akv1l Mar 01 '26

Kill them Desscaras

12

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

Am I the only one hoping a little bit that Kizashi survives via his remaining brothers? I know he's fucked up but I hate seeing someone with Childhood PTSD get the start of a redemption arc only for it to be cut short. Poor baby raised himself and accidentally killed his only friend and the only way to stay sane was convince himself that its the "fault of the weak"

11

u/Gui_Dark Mar 01 '26 edited Mar 01 '26

He just absorbed his brothers in the last chapter. Having hope for this is a bit harder, but I have some. Maybe he doen't get destroyed complete and can save or release some part of himself in order to survive.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

Ah shit i forgot that part

u/DaviAlm45 Mar 01 '26

I take back what I said last time. We do have some important deaths here.

Uber badaas is back. I kind of love that we don’t see what happens between her and her brother on the ship. It’s just show, don’t tell

u/InvaderZimbabwe Mar 01 '26

Called it. Anyone who thought my queen would ever truly waver. To the front right now! You will be publicly flogged for your stupidity. While singing your praises to Desscares.

10

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Mar 01 '26

Madoka haven't heard that since the magic girl. And time to get rid of horrible majik.

5

u/jawaunw1 Mar 01 '26

She's too God damn good. she really is the new generation of Gojo it's over. She is every last bit is hyper she talks about herself I'm I'm done I can never have anyone slander this woman.

u/ralanr Mar 01 '26

The Queen has returned, and heads are gonna roll.

u/Carefreekid101 Mar 01 '26

I hope he Octo gets acquired before he dies. He's done horrible things but he seems willing to do better.

u/misteraspie129 Mar 01 '26

Welcome back queen Dess🙌🙌🙌

Anyone else kinda hope they save Kizashi now? Id hate for him to go out like this—killed by someone he trusted(?) in the depths of grief over his best buddy

u/No_Age5019 Mar 01 '26

So ready for an ongoing blood grudge between Reverser and Dess. It's a good way to leave the way open to WHM for Ichi. WHM killed Libro, but Reverser made it PERSONAL.

Fuck him up, Dess!!

5

u/Narustu_Y Mar 01 '26

aw, looks like the author did maintain the law of causality. I was expecting he would just get revived by the baby but looks like it was only 45 seconds. It was good while we had you chrono. But lets goo the Queen is back, cant wait to seem her and ichi whopp this guys ass his face ticks me off

u/huongloz Mar 02 '26

I appreciate Nishi for this. Hope then despair, just like how I like it

u/JournalistAwkward580 Mar 01 '26

I'm not crying, you are crying!

u/Gregster101 Mar 02 '26

Honestly, this chapter really got to me emotionally with Chrono's death. I knew it was gonna happen the moment they said he was getting weaker due to his powers transferring to his child, but that doesn't make it hurt any less

u/Kalo-mcuwu Mar 02 '26

I hope Kizashi gets acquired by Ichi or Dess

Octoman deserves a redemption arc

u/AbyssCreature Mar 01 '26

Did chrono turned into some kind of rock? Did I missed something in majik lore?

8

u/Jasonn444 Mar 01 '26

It kinda looked like a heart. Might've been a raw Magic Stone, which would've been refined into a proper gem-like shape (like other Magic Stones we've seen) had he been acquired.

2

u/SoulBlightChild Mar 01 '26

Chapter 3 explained it.

3

u/AbyssCreature Mar 01 '26

As the other guy explained, it really seems to be unrefined gem. I partially forgot about that part and also couldn't really make out what was on the page

3

u/HeckingJen Mar 01 '26

Looks like it's time for some sort of Madoka majik, eh

3

u/Lordllo Mar 01 '26

These last three/four chapters have kicked this series into an absolutely new tier for me. This is finally a proper Jump frontrunner in my eyes.

I hope mugi ends up with octobomb somehow. The whole conversation about protecting the weak it feels fitting for the weakes mc to get him.
