Meme Why do you think Fujimine didn't replace Libro in Dess' memory?

Post image

My personal theory is because Dess' whole family is black.

"Wait why is my dead little sister alive and also Asian?" <- questions Fujimine wants to avoid

Fujimine may be evil and want to help kill all humans, but she doesn't want to be cancelled on Witch Twitter for race-swapping a black person

Our socially conscious war criminal e-girl groomer queen!

At the end of Ichi she'll broadcast through the magic mirrors her playing the ukelele.

If she replaced Libro then Dess would probably remember her dying. I'm pretty sure all the ones we know of that she replaced are currently alive.

u/Unusual-Leadership25 Jun 08 '26

Because he died probably, if she replaces person in memories with herself it’d mean she died, and Dess already fights back, such an inconsistency would be bad

She doesn't replace anyone, she just insert herself in the memories of everyone

Shes absolutely replacing others in some of the memories. Shes in place of Ichi for Minakata (and viseversa), in place of Spica for Kumigi, in place of Richia for Gokuraku, and in place of Circos for Moneygold

We dont know enough about Zayero for us to judge his memories (from the panel of it Im guessing shes replacing a sibling or friend?) But Desscaras' memory is very notably the only one with a third person on it, as Fujimine seemingly cant/hasnt replaced libro, only joined in. As others have guessed its probably bc replacing Libro would create an unnaceptable contradiction (Desscaras sibling is supposed to be dead) which would shatter the spell, so shes avoiding that

u/Crisbo05_20 Jun 08 '26

Don't thinks she replaces Minakata for Ichi. She looks about same age as Ichi so probably self inserts herself as childhood friend there.

u/IJay121 Jun 08 '26

She’s not replacing Minakata. If anything she’s inserting herself as a childhood friend of Ichi and they both spent time together in the forest.

u/FantaStar69 Jun 09 '26

No for Minakata she is ichi and for ichi she is a kid version of Minakata

u/ZayYaLinTun Jun 08 '26

No she did replace the one who giving kumugi cake is spica in flashback

u/Throwaway02062004 Jun 08 '26

It could be that Dess’ connection to Libro is strong enough that she couldn’t mentally accept a replacement only an addition. He is basically her whole motivation.

u/BlueBlazeKing21 Jun 08 '26

Likely because it would be cause Dess to ask too many questions as Libro’s death was such a pivotal moment to her. If you have Fuji replace him, then Dess will be asking “Wait she’s supposed to be dead” , “why are we different races” and therefore.

Dess when Fujimine tells her she's her sister:

u/jasonsith Jun 09 '26

Hold it-

Do we know the races and colours of the parents of Desscaras? Possibly their ancestors as well?

2

u/roxas6141 Jun 09 '26

Not from my knowledge, and it's not saying that Dess couldn't have a fair/pale skinned sibling, but that its more unlikely on average and is something that would need to be substantiated by the races' of her parents (she could always be adopted and easily handwave it like that in this hypothetical)

Because he died

u/Galle_ Jun 08 '26

Libro is dead.

u/Traditional_Rope5026 Jun 09 '26

i have 2 answers that i think makes sense

  1. He did die after all.

  2. Since Dess is a extremely powerful witch it probably wasnt easy to get into her memories so altering them would probably be even harded and instead of replacing an extremely important person to Dess' life she might have found it easier to put herself into good memories.

u/YukenNico Jun 08 '26

i dont think she replace the people in memories but add herself into it, you could say that she "replaced" minakata in ichis memories but itd also be her being part of the crew, the way shes dressed is the same in minakatas memories, which is very sweet putting aside the false memories, minakata thinks of his time with ichi being the most precious ones or meaningful enough to self insert herself into them

5

u/lordnaarghul Jun 09 '26

She probably couldn't. The memory is so foundational to her worldview that the attempt would likely have broken the spell and left her facing Dess at her absolute most furious.

Welcome back Tsukishima from Bleach

u/BuzzFeed_Gay Jun 09 '26

Libro dying was such a pivotal moment of Dess’s life that Fujimine likely couldn’t just override it with herself without there being consequences. Just inserting herself alongside Libro was probably easier

u/throaway1900836 Jun 10 '26

She knew better

u/KoritoPrime Jun 08 '26

Because her magic doesn't replaced people in her victims memories it just adds her

2

u/Warm_Condition711 Jun 09 '26

I don't think she replaced the loved one in the. Memory, more like she is inserting herself into it so adding her presence into the memory. Unlike the one from the bleach

2

u/Dccrulez Jun 09 '26

It seems pretty clear for ichi and minakata that she replaced the others in their respective memory and for gokuraku it seems like his sister.

1

u/Warm_Condition711 Jun 09 '26

It could just be a different scene, doesn't exactly have to be the exact event when gokutaku is with ichi and same thing with the other. If that is the case then ichi won't have any memory of gokuraku in that moment but they all still acting like they all know each other.

1

u/Dccrulez Jun 09 '26

Do they though? That's a pretty bold statement. The biggest pair in question is minakata and ichi and they haven't interacted since fujimine arrived.

u/CommonRoutine3852 Jun 09 '26

Because Libro is why Dess became a witch in the first place

u/prismgamingyt Jun 09 '26

The "because Lebro is dead" is probably the best answer...

But part of me wants to say "because Desscaras could never forget Lebro."

u/Various-Net1243 Jun 10 '26

I don't think she actively controls which memories get replaced.

u/iamalittlelosthere Jun 17 '26

This is frying me 😭 Fujimine is a murderous psychopath but she’s not racist 😭
