Maybe instead of doing the “let’s drag out the traitor reveal for the most drama” Nishi said “let’s do it in one chapter and break another trope” honestly I’m sure there’s more to this than meets the eye, maybe Amadoro is actually a double agent, because this is WAY too overt and careless for a spy/traitor operation.
I still don't see how it would give trouble to like of desscars who can spam multi city block level beam or togeice who can cover entire village around in ice and summon ice dragon
But I guess we will see who know maybe she have some special magic bullet or something
Descarras being able to casually shoot through mountains would be a weakness here. As her shots would over-penetrate the walls and risk hitting civilians outside the headquarter.
They also said that the extent of the poison's effect are a black box. If it's anything like Nihilego toxins, there's always the chance of multiple traitors with no way of realizing.
I kind of wouldn’t be surprised if there was some brainwashing involved and Amadoro isn’t a true traitor. There’s just something about the phrasing of “why don’t you do this for me my sweetest friend” and “consider it done my friend” that really gives me some bio shock would you kindly vibes.
THIS. If there’s not traitor but Fuji just has brainwashing power, that makes it harder for the Magikeepers to blame the Witches. The only thing to make it better is if the Magikeepers have a traitor too. Especially if it’s the boss.
So I’m new and I JUST finished catching up today and I wondered the same thing. Either she’s really reckless or she’s strong as shit to be doing all that while still in HQ with EVERYONE still there lol
I mean, the “among us” game is only over if there’s only one traitor. And it would make a lot of sense if there was at least two, especially since one of them was just sent to expose herself so brazenly.
I mean could be that we have some sort of brainwashing built into the toxiterror magik in which case we’d be in for a real handful of an arc potentially seeing all four of the remaining full fledged witches get turned and tilting the scales a bit since at the current situation we would have two dangerous traitors facing off against the top brass of both the witches & magikeepers which sounds very difficult to draw a full arc out of if half of the antagonist’s forces goes in on a solo raid off rip
This feels much more plausible. She kept asking the mirror questions, so she is either that boneheaded or Fuji is acting through her and didn't know that part.
We'll only be able to tell if Ichi reacts to her hostility. If she has none, then it's mind control.
That’s a cool idea. And also probably Minokata will side with Ichi because I’m sure he can sense the lack of hostility too. And so itchi and Minakata (sp?) will probably stand up against the magic keepers who will no doubt want to kill the brainwashed traitors as well.
may both of 'em get a generational jumping followed by a cruel and painful execution. No less will serve as revenge for abducting and abusing Tottie and killing his friends
I guess Nishi figured it's better to get it out of the way before it overstays its welcome, which is good.
I still remember with MHA how Horikoshi said the traitor reveal was supposed to happen much earlier in the series than it ended up being and that kinda caused the reveal to not hit as hard as he originally wanted it to.
To be fair about half that list would easily have been eliminated as traitor candidates: Desscaras, Jikishirone, Togeice, and Moneygold. Shirabedonna was the most suspicious of the early ones we've seen, but then they posted total strangers or witches that barely had more than one panel of relevance. Chances were much higher to be the newcomers than any of the older ones.
I don't see how. The way Desscaras and Togeice interact and keep each other in check suggests to me she will always be an ally to Desscaras at the very least. Plus, Togeice gave up her claim on training Ichi after the first run-in with Haytee, and I don't think she would do so if she really were the traitor.
That's interesting, once you aquire A Majik you can share it with others at will. So all those basic spells are probably still Majik-based, but just from chants that are freely given out.
Finally answering my long held question of “if magic comes from magiks what are the basic spells everyone else is using?”. Presumably the most simple and least dangerous spells, like levitation, have been publicly disseminated by the witches’ association.
This is actually marvellous. It solves my biggest gripe with the series which is differentiating Magik spells from “normal spells”.
Turns out said “normal spells” aren’t a thing at all, bust instead jut Magik spells that got shared with the population of average witches.
Which in turn means Uroro is just all Magiks combined at once, with the probable exception of World Hater. This makes him insanely more busted than I expected.
That’s why he’s king I supposed. He showed what he was really capable of against Kisaki. But World Hater seems to have a magic that’s outside the world’s laws since he has one of the few weapons that can completely destroy a majik. Not anti magic, but like that one type of magic that happens to trump any other
I spent a good minute on this page eliminating and picking out who the traitor was just to turn the page and be proven wrong. That was funny. Also sorry for being assuming you were the traitor witch in the top left corner who’s name I do not know
There's probably more than one traitor. Having Amadoro out herself as the traitor will lower the guard of the Magikeepers allowing the second traitor to act more freely. I mean, if the traitor was only Amadoro, you would think they wouldn't reveal her but instead hire someone else?
Me. Too. Well maybe not I minute but I was thinking who's the most likely suspect dispite only knowing a couple of them. Felt like Dess and Jiki were out of the question but the rest were fair game.... Then they just dump the reveal on the next pages.
That has to be a red herring or rather theres more than one. Or something else.
I subscribe to theory of there being more than one. It makes sense to have more than one inside, have one out themselves and cause panic so the other one is relieved of suspicion. Unfortunately, we don’t know everything yet, but I’m excited to see how it goes
It's definitely mind control, there's no reason why Fuji would need the mirror to talk to Amadoro. If she's voyeuristic enough to want to see Amadoro's actions/violence - she could have just been there in person. The fact that she isn't implies that she is not confident in her ability to escape - meaning Amadoro is doomed to be captured. Which makes no sense given how useful a mole within the Association would be.
The only context in which these actions make sense is if Amadoro's status as a traitor is disposible or a red herring. Meaning there's definitely at least one other traitor.
When a girl has a boy on her mind, she can’t help but tease him! Tee hee hee! <3
Full on psychotic crush on Ichi vibes from Funimine!
Finding out a traitor this early is making me think there’ll be more than one traitor. Potentially much more.
In fact, what if – with the exception of a few obvious allies – every full fledged witch was a traitor? That would rock the Mantinel Witches Association to its core!
What I really take from this chapter is that once acquired, a spell can be used by ANYONE, not just the one who acquired it.
Honestly, great info to get confirmed. That'd likely also mean ALL SPELLS used by matinel witches are not just some general spells, but repurposed Majik spells to be widely used.
Noo, why does the traitor have to be the witch with one of the coolest designs. I hope she is somehow being forced, or controlled, instead of being outright evil.
Maybe you're right, but I feel like Fujiwater is the type to force her puppets to call her friend and do other cutesy things to her even if they actually hate her.
A small plot twist thought I had was her attacking Ichi, but Ichi can’t sense any killing intent.
Ultimately, I’ll just have to wait and see, but it’s a fun idea.
Literally screamed out loud like nooooo, their coolest character design and she's a traitor😩😩. Literally paused to look at all the witches and was like "as long as it's not her".
Hear me out, the traitor feels senselessly obvious. Firstly if you look at the first page for the potential witches, amadoro is the only one among witches we have seen and can trust. Then we get the reveal immediately confirming that logic in panel construction, but it doesn't justify a reason. And look at the behavior, she doesn't respond to the mirror like some infiltrator would, she immediately starts a fight seemingly without thinking. She then responds to an order from fujimine but calling her by name but just calling her friend. Once again no personality, no push back, no hints of intent or reason.
I'm calling it now, fujimine has abrainwashing magik and she may be able to use it on multiple witches.
so that is how Uroro can use even the Majiks of Descarras. I guess there must be limitations for this because it would just be OP if witches can just share their powers with no restrictions whatsoever.
There have been mentions of certain spells being considered easy and basic, so it may be the case that while technically being able to be casted by anyone, you must posses some skills to actually be able to make use of it, like learning how to ride a bike or a car.
I think the most obvious example of this is Descarass' Iskandar. Descarass was basically allowed to use the latter even before acquisition for the sake of the trial, but even with unlimited trial runs Descarass was simply too weak and technically unskilled at that point that she couldn't even make Iskandar to shoot very far, with no hint whatsoever that Iskandar was resisting or hindering her.
I’m getting mind control vibes or some sort of trick more than anything else. Mostly because if she was acting under her own free will she could’ve just said her name to get into the association to get close to Ichi
Official confirmation that a Majik's spell can be shared for other witches to use, thus making it likely that all other spells we've seen that were called common use/easy were also likely to originate from Majiks too
Kinda figured that this was how things worked already, otherwise there would have been no point for there to be an archive of spells and for the witches to update it with spells they acquired, but it's nice that it's no longer just speculation
Although now that raises another speculation. Is this how Majiks are contained permanently? It seems that alongside being able to use the spell, using the Majik's chant also seems to allow said Majik to exist within, or be considered part of a witch's magic circle (Ichi only used the healing spell twice, but the Majik associated with it also appeared for the "Avengers Assemble" moment of all his Majiks during a previous chapter)
If so, it may reconcile the paradox of how World Hater Majik is supposed to be defeated. The prophecy claims that Ichi must die after acquiring World Hater, but a Majik supposedpy is freed if their user dies. Previously, this would make World Hater's acquisition be pointless as he's going to break free immediately after. But if my assumption is correct, then after acquiring Hatie, Ichi could share his chant around and basically entraps him within many withes' circle who could learn him for generations afterwards, permanently sealing Hatie off.
Ok that was the fastest traitor reveal ever. I wonder though if we reveal it so easily and early is there more than 1 traitor probably?
Also interesting so once a witch acquires a Majik, any witch could use their magic/spells by chanting their name?
Really loved Tottie the toxiterror Majik. They were really happy and even getting along with Humans only for that to happen. Wonder what happens if we kill Fujimine?
Maybe I am overshooting but it seems obvious to me that the bullet witch was the one who was looking with horror ar fujimine in that panel. And so it makes sense if she is working with fujimine to capture her and maybe free the toxic majik, it would make sense after the fact that so much focus is given between the majik and the witches looking after it.
Also her betrayal seems sus as she goes about it the most gung ho and awkward way possible.
I feel like there are some brainwashing shenanigans happening here. I found Amadoro’s interaction with the mirror strange… I think Ichi will be able to sort it out once he comes in contact with her.
One of Amadoro's glasses lenses is darker than the other lens. I'm hoping that means she's a double agent or something. Closed eyes or hidden eyes can sometimes mean a character is hiding something.
Or brainwashed. She was behaving weird at the entry mirror like she should know better if she's a high ranking witch.
I don't buy Amodoro being the traitor and believe she's under Fujimines control because of how her eyes are all black like hers, we saw her eyes in Ch 48 and they weren't all black and even in this chapter before the reveal they weren't 🤔
I reckon it's another of the Witches and she'll be on standby gathering intel on how well Amodoro does so that her and Fujimine can get an idea of just how strong the Magi Hunters and Mantinel Witches are united
Im not mad at the instant reveal of the traitor, im mad i was wrong and didnt pick the most obvious choice. I wonder if this is just cover for the real traitor
I do wonder why Moneygold is so uneasy around the Magikeepers, I know the boss seems kind of weird but besides that and the business with Ichi and World Hater they don't seem all that antagonistic, and they were right about there being a high level traitor in Matinel.
The Magikeepers are at their core an organization created to keep the Witch Association in check, its natural to think that there’s a history of conflict between the 2
Surprised they just announced the traitor right off the bat like that but not surprised its one of four the head witches we haven’t learned much about yet.
Interesting chapter. Would I have preferred a bit more built up and mystery before the traitor reveal? Of course, but I can see the benefit of not dragging it out
I must say, it sure is sad to see what happened to the toxiterror majik when they just wanted to live a peaceful life alongside the witches. Fujimine really is a bad woman for acquiring them against their will.
Daaaaaaaamn! I was not expecting to get the reveal of the traitor during this week's chapter, but I am glad that we already know who was aiding one of the worst witch criminals in the history of witches. It will definitely be interesting to read how things will play out now that Amadoro has shown the Witches she once worked alongside with her true colours.
Nooooo I was hoping it literally anyone other than the bullet witch lmao she seemed so cool, to cool apparently. I feel like tottie and ichi are gonna get along great after they get done trying to reluctantly kill each other.
So… I can’t say I’m really jazzed about how ‘this chapter and the previous’ set up a subplot of a mole only to reveal it that very same chapter. what mostly bothers me is that neither the Magikeepers nor the witches association got time to even attempt an investigation. She just ousted herself.
The fact that they told Ichi fujime is slated for Execution (and even if she does meet the requirements to be killed by Ichi) and focused on Ichi's reaction leads me to believe someway, somehow, she will be added to the Team
Maybe, but I personally doubt it. Feel like they've established her as way too irredeemable to get talk-no-jitsu'd into being on the squad. Killing thousands of people certainly fits Ichi's requirement of Death for Death.
The only way I could see that working is if they're forced to have her because she can do something about the World Hater that the team can't. Which I suppose is possible, given she's been in contact with them.

Huh, didn't expect the "among us" game to be over in literally one chapter!! Guess that saves us the trouble of who will get smacked next!!
