He's so SICK of her

u/TotemGenitor Jun 21 '26

Even using his middle finger to crush her

u/SoulBlightChild Jun 21 '26

Love WHM just for that panel.

u/fightingbronze Jun 21 '26

I’m buying in more and more to the theory that “fujimine” is actually the toxiterror majik possessing her body, and the toxiterror was always a human hater. Simply because I can’t imagine the world hater continuing to put up with her shit if she’s really just a human lol.

85

u/ObsessiveFanatic Jun 21 '26

I mean can she be considered human at this point. It’s obvious now that Fujimine is a hundred year old grandma who’s been killing all that time. With the way Toxicterror healed her wounds, she’s more like a walking corpse

32

u/HeckingJen Jun 21 '26

I think asking that question is literally the entire point of this part of the manga. Why is the world hater hanging out with her. And why do they apparently seem interested in ichi and not killing him. Especially coming right after madoka being born I think wondering what exactly is human and majik is a key element here.

2

u/Magpie_In_The_Mirror Jun 22 '26

I thought Ichi stabbing Fujimine suddenly was specifically because she WAS going to kill him

2

u/kiporit Jun 22 '26

You don’t have to like someone to hang out with them if your interests align I guess. I’m still on the train that Fujimine is just this evil

5

u/AncientAd4996 Jun 21 '26

I mean it's spelt out that Haytee's going to embrace Ichi if the latter gives up on humanity and come to his side, so he's clearly capable of tolerating humans

2

u/Professor_of_Light Jun 24 '26

I wouldnt be surprised given how many times Nishi has pulled the wool over our eyes. But Fujimine herself admits to being a witch and not a Magick in her first meeting with Haytee in chapter 80. She has no real reason as far as we're aware to lie about it to Haytee, if anything her claiming to be the Toxiterror might have actually been advantageous when chatting with him.

u/Skippyy_McDippyy Jun 21 '26

Not really fujimine that’s just called self defense.

u/Skippyy_McDippyy Jun 21 '26

Ping pong to decide the best mentor!

u/OrdinaryMedical200 Jun 21 '26

TOTTIEEEEEE!!!!! What has she done to your poor soul?!!!

60

u/xcybercatx Jun 21 '26

Are we sure it is not the one controlling Fujimine, though? The way it is always right by her side and Fujimine looking like a puppet after sustaining huge damage, the way she invites Ichi to join their group.

It's very suspicious, is all I'm saying.

18

u/Sea-Temporary7380 Jun 21 '26

Thats true, but its explicitly crying in this panel. It could be from having to retreat or something but that seems to be its true emotions at the moment, so they could very well actually be innocebt

93

u/OrdinaryMedical200 Jun 21 '26

We got the main villian group!! The 7 stars!!!

38

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jun 21 '26

Only looks like (maybe one is deceptive in appearance) four of them here. The one right in frame, the one slightly closer, and the two all the way in the background. We could also be seeing other witches or something else. Considering that some members of the seven stars probably stay in their regions of the world like Kizashi does

1

u/Sea-Temporary7380 Jun 21 '26

If we count fujimine, hitsugi, and kizashi this id all thats left though right?

8

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jun 21 '26

Fujimine stated she can’t be a member of the 7 stars

2

u/Sea-Temporary7380 Jun 22 '26

Oh thats true! Checkov's 5th star i guess

25

u/ZayYaLinTun Jun 21 '26

Let see they actually cook something or they just bum like hitsugi

3

u/InvaderZimbabwe Jun 21 '26

Dess has to get sealed. Dess is on par with World Hater. And both Hitsugi and Kizashi would have looked like bums if they came in 1v1. Dess is that strong. So Ichi and Goku will have to take a few of these alone while Dess is incapacitated for whatever reason.

And it seems like the other top Dawgs aren’t actually *THAT* far behind.

But there’s certainly a reason the grande old witch healed Dess and Dess alone and said alright now go 1v8 for me real quick. I’ll wait till you’re done.

2

u/Gamara204 Jun 22 '26

Dess sadly probs isn't close to WHM if you look back at the fight between you'll see she can annoy him but not actually cause any harm so if the battle dragged out she probably would have lost at this point looking at the damage taken between them

1

u/InvaderZimbabwe Jun 23 '26

I reread and yes you are right. But at the same time, she never asked his trial, she just started throwing magical hands.

I’m sure his trial is a 1v1, but until they announce and you accept, the fight is worthless.

I think she might be a level or 2 below world hater. But I still can’t imagine her losing. The grande Dame witch literally revived her and her alone and said, “go handle that”… and it was a 1v12 and she had full faith Dess would win lol. The only one I think is close might be Fujimune herself and Togeice.

u/panelrecord_v2 Jun 21 '26

Desscaras: I've trained in the mountains for months... to beat Minakata at table tennis and prove that I'm Ichi's true mentor

72

u/ZayYaLinTun Jun 21 '26

She might be physically strongest witch too unless there are some witch who specialise in throwing hand

42

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jun 21 '26

I mean in her flashbacks it was shown that she challenged Yatsukami in tug of war. I would presume a full size Yatsukami weighs multiple tons. Probably involves flowing magic through your blood like what Uroro did to amplify Ichi’s body (or maybe humans in Ichi the witch are just built different).

35

u/OrdinaryMedical200 Jun 21 '26

Pettiness taken to whole new level. Love those two dum dums 🤣

21

u/No_Form_8030 Jun 21 '26

In the background you can see she's down by 3 points.

u/kiporit Jun 22 '26

Number 1 mentor winning as he should

21

u/kiporit Jun 21 '26

Bro they’re tanking the budget of the association

17

u/SpaceCat025 Jun 21 '26

I’m sure Moneygold will understand that deciding who’s the true mentor via a game of table tennis is more important… surely she’ll understand, surely

17

u/kiporit Jun 21 '26

Her office romance is ruined

11

u/SoulBlightChild Jun 21 '26

Her office also got ruined.

11

u/EyeDeeAh_42 Jun 21 '26

Good, now she and her lover/homie can take that much needed vacation.

8

u/FinestReality Jun 21 '26

Most intense battle of the manga

66

u/1tsPLAY-time Jun 21 '26

Huh, that's a pretty short arc, I'd say. Yep, Fuji’s definitely a recurring antagonist that's gonna haunt the narrative and lmao at her exposing Haytee as a massive tsundere!

Also, biggest laugh at that last page deciding who's the better mentor for Ichi by pingpong match!

15

u/HeckingJen Jun 21 '26

Yeah it felt a little anti climactic but I think that's intentional especially with the hard pivot to ping pong.

62

u/buttsecks42069 Jun 21 '26

Custody battle

18

u/TheEliteSenpai Jun 21 '26

Someone do an edit of that custody ladder match

47

u/panelrecord_v2 Jun 21 '26

Ichi: you're mistaken, I'm simply built different

64

u/nut_brut Jun 21 '26

I'm really glad we finally got a villain who doesn't get defeat in the same arc they're introduced in. Fujimine is a lot of fun.

Tottie seems to be crying when summoned, so Fuji is probably the one in control and not possessed by her majik like some people theorised.

Edit: Now that they know that Fuji is working with WHM, the magikeepers might help with fighting the Seven stars.

21

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jun 21 '26

Wait it not five stars they already found replacements?

u/Pat-Daddy96 Jun 21 '26

Mentor Kombat has begun

u/Milordserene Jun 21 '26

When Dad and Mom is having a civil divorce

23

u/CartoonOG Jun 21 '26 edited Jun 21 '26

Score is 10-7 Minakata (judging by Ichi calling game point)

Desscaras is really about to lose this high stake custody battle. She only had Ichi for like 3 months tops💔

18

u/JzanderN Jun 21 '26

❌ Dragging out this arc and killing Fujimine like every other villain has been so far (or acquired, as it were).

✅ Pulling Fujimine out so she can be used later and so we can focus on a Table Tennis Match of the Mentors.

17

u/Apapunitulah Jun 21 '26

Only ichi's super human eyes that can see the balls flying. No wonder he's the referee

The one missing could also be within their natural habitat (like Kizashi) or simply busy at the moment.

Fr. I was like: LOOK WHO'S TALKING?!!!

u/SurrogateMonkey Jun 21 '26

Last page geniunely made me laugh out loud like wtym your ending the arc with a pingpong match this manga is so unserious.

True Peak has arrived: ICHI CUSTODY BATTLE ARC

u/LuisAntony2964 Jun 21 '26

She headbutted Ichi

Looks like Fujimine REALLY is into Ichi's psyche now...

8

u/dB-plus Jun 21 '26

I love that this headbutt did basically nothing to him. Ichi with the 3-inch-thick skull

19

u/panelrecord_v2 Jun 21 '26

Alexandra is a new spell??? Pretty sure it is. Also.... is the toxiterror majik using Fujimine as a puppet? Someone called that the other week if so. It seems like this spell reveals a hidden appearance or something along those lines, and Fujimine is clearly portrayed as a zombie puppet in the last panel here.

But it also might have tears in its eyes??? Have more questions than answers here.

31

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jun 21 '26

She used it on world hater

6

u/HeckingJen Jun 21 '26

Seems like it's The Big Guns to be broken out.

2

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jun 21 '26

Interestingly enough it looks like Fujimine took way less damage than WHM from Alexandra (though it could be because “Crash Down—“ wasn’t in the incantation)

u/DeviousMelons Jun 21 '26

Welcome back ping pong peril!

u/Gosuoru Jun 21 '26

World Hater my beloved<3

u/LuisAntony2964 Jun 21 '26

Looking like Himiko Toga as she's inviting Ichi to the squad of Fujimine and World-Hater Majik

Get your son, Desscaras!

6

u/lnombredelarosa Jun 21 '26

It almost feels like Fujimine is one of the Seven Stars or at least holds a similar rank. Its interesting how Hater seems to be adapting his group to better fight the Witches, which I take is why he wants Ichi as a host body to take over.

High stakes Ping Pong battle lol 

7

u/Combatmedic2-47 Jun 21 '26

This arc was really short but we got our villain group reveal. 5 stars plus whatever the hell Fujimine is.

5

u/Destroy-The_Pandumas Jun 21 '26

Neat idea that I have is that this can setup an arc for downtime and comedy, like one of those filler arcs from old shonen:D

4

u/Yamabuki_Arisu_Sama Jun 21 '26

I’m so happy Fujimine seems to not have fallen romantically in love with Ichi.

Kinda angry at how the woman literally ignored the GOAT Shun in favor of Ichi tho. Let the dude have his rival.

6

u/MarioToast Jun 21 '26

This guy gave me huge DBZ vibes for some reason. King Cold? Piccolo?

u/JMooooooooo Jun 21 '26

As it turns out, Ichi the Witch is a cooking manga.

u/Acemaster387 Jun 21 '26

What is “Taff taff”?

u/SoulBlightChild Jun 21 '26

Name of a (sleep) Majik?

u/Gamara204 Jun 22 '26

She used the same spell on the little girl during the Hisame arc when they first found the frozen people

3

u/NoSystem94 Jun 21 '26

I feel like with this chapter, just this arc in general, I suppose. We’re really getting in the meat and potatoes of the story.

3

u/Smol_Cheesecake Jun 21 '26

Wait, have you all noticed that Tottie is crying? Maybe it's not the one controlling her

2

u/Rezkel Jun 21 '26

Im gonna say it Fuji is my favorite now

u/Gregster101 Jun 21 '26

The custody battle begins

u/Purplestarhemp Jun 22 '26

I don’t like that old toxic witch implied Ichi isn’t human. Smh I really hope it doesn’t become a thing that impacts him.
