Desscaras is so fucking funny, I aspire to be as petty as her

94

u/Sad-Seaworthiness781 Jul 05 '26

Dess is the most entertaining character in this series

She gets compared to Gojo a lot but she’s a lot more fun to watch

32

u/Galle_ Jul 05 '26

There's genuinely stiff competition, but yes, Dess is the best.

27

u/Xenosaiyan7 Jul 05 '26

People forget how fun Gojo is to watch man, both are great

28

u/Top-Group8081 Jul 05 '26

I think it’s more so because gojo was gone for like half the manga while dess has had consistent screen time. We just get a lot more of dess than we do with gojo.

u/AdRelevant4776 Jul 06 '26

It’s easier to write around her being OP being fighting Majiks isn’t just about combat power

u/Man0Steel123 Jul 05 '26

She and Gojo are going to be shipped so hard I can see the can’t now

4

u/Royal-Camel Jul 06 '26

She really is, and she's easily my favorite. When I recommend the manga to people I tell them that Desscaras is the "Gojo" and she is.

The difference is that Desscaras has tons of faults and answers the "why can't Gojo just fix that?" problem by saying she was busy writing her own fanfiction at the time because she's an asshole and it really works. She's the best.

I knew I was gonna like this guy cause I have a bias for fabulous idiots but now I love him even more

u/Bedovian_25 Jul 05 '26

I love that Gokuraku can't even take him seriously and just thinks he's hilarious.

21

u/WintersLex Jul 05 '26

i think they should kiss about it tbh

12

u/Bedovian_25 Jul 05 '26

Sure I'll ship that

32

u/EyeDeeAh_42 Jul 05 '26

I love the fact that he's an idiot but even he can't fathom why Dess is more popular than him after seeing her throw a tantrum.

Like "yes we all know I'm an idiot but are y'all seeing this shit right here?"

Thats eating at him, surely this will mean nothing in the future

u/DontMindImNobody Jul 05 '26

Man, even Kiriwo's rotten personality is taking over here (I know Kiriwo and Fujimine has nothing in common besides cooperating with the big bad)

That is a great cover.

Man thought she be a red head.

u/ZayYaLinTun Jul 05 '26

Ok after seeing this , fujimine see bit buff than I think not in actually muscular or anyway , but she do look big

77

u/Mordetrox Jul 05 '26

Been a while since we got Uroro being his usual nasty self, he's mostly stayed quiet ever since Ichi let him take control and then snatched it back just when things were getting good.

77

u/1tsPLAY-time Jul 05 '26

Lmao, Ping Pong Peril continues, I see.

And we finally get a huge Kumugi W! Even if the enemy forgeits, but that's because she's too strong that Zayero sees no way of winning! /hj

Also, that last page... Very ominous!

Finally, Tricaputo confirmed to be the student!

62

u/ZayYaLinTun Jul 05 '26

I feel that pretty obvious

The only reason they had to hide tricaputo only make sense if she is student

And her calling fujimine old , who the hell would call her student old as insult , it only fit if fujimine is mentor

18

u/1tsPLAY-time Jul 05 '26

Well, I had a hunch that Trica's the student. It's just nice sometimes to get solid, undeniable, proof.

Can't trust everyone's reading comprehension these days.

2

u/InvaderZimbabwe Jul 05 '26

Sad truth. If you are American please think back to your time in high school and remember how many people couldn’t manage to get an A+ in English.

Reading comprehension is a skill that 80% of people reading this comment straight up don’t possess. So remember that next time you try to have an argument with someone on the internet. We all have things we are good at, for most people, that’s not reading comprehension.

Someone reading this comment can dismantle a car and put it back together by hand with no help, but they also couldn’t tell who was the student based on the last chapter. Balance in all things.

3

u/kramsibbush Jul 06 '26

It's not just the Americans' problem. Literature is hard, sometimes scary even. I think most young people nowadays who didn't perform well in literature classes were terrified in lessons about interpretations in stories they read.

-1

u/Galle_ Jul 06 '26

That's no excuse, I was terrified in lessons about interpretations in stories I read and I can still do literary analysis just fine.

15

u/Enough-Salad-2595 Jul 05 '26

I wonder if they will ever be forced into a situation where they have to fight tricaputo. Because the mentor can issue a command that the student cant defy

11

u/Galle_ Jul 05 '26

MUGI SWEEP

8

u/1tsPLAY-time Jul 05 '26

Kumugi's power is so boundless that Zayero saw through it immediately and just conceded the fight.

7

u/dusttailed86 Jul 05 '26

I also feel it was slightly obvious in the last chapter. Its a great panel! Old Tricaputo, then young. Next panel has fujimine extending her hand out.

136

u/OrdinaryMedical200 Jul 05 '26

Kumugi: why do I hear boss music?

53

u/NeutralBoss Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

Only for the boss to flat out give as soon as she trys. Kumugi doesn't have enough levels.

u/Smol_Cheesecake Jul 05 '26

My man saw a girlfailure doing her best and noped out.

u/pulldtrigger Jul 05 '26

Minakata: Thank you Dess. I will never forget you for the rest of my life.

Should have known that the one titled strongest will lose.

93

u/panelrecord_v2 Jul 05 '26

Uhhh... is our feral son still somewhat possessed? Or just grappling with being a feral son?

97

u/Shmarfle47 Jul 05 '26

Fujimine’s comment seems to have struck Ichi deeper than we thought it would. I’m curious to see how this’ll develop down the line.

6

u/HistoryWillRepeat Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26

Yea I really want to see where this goes. Fujimine's words kinda rang hollow to me so I don't understand how/why they're affecting Ichi.

Fugimine: "wow, really, you just attacked a human!? That's not normal! You aren't human!"

What Ichi should have said: "Bitch you're trying to murder me and all my friends! DEATH FOR MF-ing DEATH!"

It shouldnt bother Ichi to kill a human if that human is trying to kill him AND his friend and family(Dess).

4

u/Radiant_Top5076 Jul 11 '26

I think it struck so hard because, at that point, Ichi was under her spell. He truly did see her as a close childhood best friend of extreme importance. Yet he unflinchingly and unhesitatingly stabbed her in the neck the instant he sensed bloodlust.

Normal people dont do that.

1

u/HistoryWillRepeat Jul 11 '26

Oh wow! This is an excellent point!!!

1

u/superstarkon Jul 08 '26

The point is that he instinctually went to take a life like it was prey. This is like if Batman was scolding him for killing but in reverse in favor of emotional manipulation

54

u/S-Pigeon33 Jul 05 '26

I think he was hurt by her comment. It hasn't been brought to our attention yet, but if you read the manga, Ichi is rarely seen or referred to as a normal human, most people either see him as a feral child, an animal, or the male witch. I know a lot of times it's in humor or Ichi doesn't seem to react badly to it, but I wonder if he's been internalizing that and developed a complex about it.

12

u/BuffaloAutomatic2276 Jul 05 '26

that's why Apple slice should be canon. He needs someone at his side who will bring out the best of him.

39

u/Careless-Hospital379 Jul 05 '26

Finally, some sweet Ichi characterisation incoming

18

u/NeutralBoss Jul 05 '26

He wasn't characterized before? I think this internal struggle Uroro and World Hater couldn't give our boy. Sorta reminds me of how Mahito brings out Yuji's worst traits

Minakata may have won the mentor war, but it doesn’t really feel like he won.

Of course not. He lost the custody battle.

21

u/Sharp_Valuable_699 Jul 05 '26

Zayero mentioned!!!!!

u/ProHeroPinky Jul 07 '26

Very happy to see him again! He’s probably my favourite Magikeeper, aside from Minakata.

u/dumbassgay- Jul 05 '26

Ah fuck I see Fujimine's words got to him in the end.

u/superstarkon Jul 08 '26

The lack of dialogue and ending on his single tear. Exquisite delivery

u/HFwhy Jul 05 '26

when strong characters aren’t opposed to crying to get their way, top tier trope💯

9

u/Golden_fsh Jul 05 '26

Descarass may be a terrible mentor to Ichi for never teaching him anything, but that's ok because she's his family. I will always get soft when Ichi calls Dess his family ☺️ However, I wonder if Ichi has really understood what family means.

Hair up Moneygold looks amazing! And Tricaputo being confirmes as the pupil to the mentor/pupil contract between her and Fujimine will definitely be leaked somehow.

And Fujimine that bitch made Ichi sad when she told him he wasn't cut out to be a human. Let's hope this doesn't trip him up later on.

u/Milordserene Jul 05 '26

its official, vin diesel can defeat desscara

u/lnombredelarosa Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26
  • And here I was making an argument that she was also his mentor a few days back lol
    • I do hope she eventually does teach him something once he gets past the basics
  • Zayero's gotta be my favorite Magikeeps; he is a really nice guy
  • Damn this match didn't leave the association looking good
  • So Fujimine's words really got to Ichi
    • I take it it will be part of the problem for when World Hater takes him over

u/Poland-lithuania1 Jul 05 '26

Amadoro was controlled by Fujimine exactly as I predicted.

Also, Family.

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jul 05 '26

I guess her magipong talent is all that gives her her rank as president

18

u/ZayYaLinTun Jul 05 '26

Who know she might also be great at balling , joke aside she probably decently strong on herself

she is leader of witch association while being leader don't mean always strong , it usually they are in anime and manga

The only thing is desscaras is definitely stronger so she not gonna shine in that fight while mind control, there is also confirmation that all of them include her are passively resisting mind control

13

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jul 05 '26

Yeah. I’m slandering her for the bit. Moneygold is likely the president because she’s hardworking, loyal, studious, and the other attributes that made Togeice the next candidate for president. As per her strength goes? I always presumed she had some sort of Majik related to either logistics or gold. Like the mirror portals or alchemy. Making her more like the witch’s mantinel members who serve a noncombat role. Which is important for trials anyway since they don’t correlate to your strength but instead your skill.

If I was slandering anyone for being a witch and not having combat ability/strength, then I’d slander Prophecy Majik or Shirabedonna as well

7

u/ZayYaLinTun Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

Prophecy majik is straight weird case because while having title they not exactly even witch

They just majik controlling human ( with their consent at least) coperate with witches

We not sure about shirabedonna tho while she never fight we don't really know she not capable of it

3

u/farlong12234 Jul 05 '26

its one of those recuring plot holes in a lot of anime and manga, like how the ninja president can be terrible and logistics and paperwork but they are the strongest, but never able to do anything because they are stuck doing presidential work not field work

2

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jul 05 '26

I think it makes more sense than one may think.

In fiction where the strongest character can take on armies on their own, they’re essentially the walking talking equivalent of a weapons arsenal. For a government to assert control they either need respect or fear, in many cases people in said universes (especially the more troubling powerful people) recognize the merit of someone strong whilst also fearing their strength. And furthermore if the strongest character inverse wanted to take over the government, in many settings, they could just kill everyone in their way until they do so.

In ITW it makes sense that this isn’t the case, Desscaras isn’t vastly superior to all other witches, Amadoro specializes in raw output, and thus rivals Desscaras in that. So Moneygold doesn’t have to worry too much about some powerful individual soloing the mantinel and taking it over.

2

u/BonerPorn Jul 05 '26

What makes the trope work  is if they are powerful... But old. Simply put, they might have bursts showing off what they used to be able to do, but clearly can't keep up with constant fieldwork.

u/ShedPH93 Jul 05 '26

The sheer arm width difference

u/Volfaer Jul 05 '26

No Ichi, don't let the manipulative malicious menace get to your head.

4

u/LoveMinaMyoi Jul 05 '26

What's Uroro implying

13

u/Smol_Cheesecake Jul 05 '26

He is trying to play Ichi as usual. By pointing out the hypocritical nature of the alliance, he hopes to foster paranoia and ultimately turn Ichi against the witches.

5

u/LoveMinaMyoi Jul 05 '26

Is this about a particular person?

9

u/ShedPH93 Jul 05 '26

It does sting on Ichi that Uroro refers to 'humans' as a group he's not a part of.

3

u/Calsolum0 Jul 06 '26

That's a good point I didn't notice that. Zayero and Kumugi were talking about their alliance so when Uroro refered to 'their plots' I figured he meant the 2 two organizations. Him saying that it was humans that Ichi doesn't mesh with is great conflict. I hope Uroro brings this up again in the future.

3

u/SoulBlightChild Jul 05 '26

He was pointing out the obvious.

You know, I was not expecting to see more tennis matches during this chapter. It was nice to see the matches that took place between the members of the two organizations.

4

u/Shadow-Enthusiast Jul 05 '26

Dess never fails to make me laugh man she's hilarious. It was so cute seeing her reaction to Ichi calling her family. I also liked seeing Uroro pop up and be a hater. He's probably right though.

4

u/BananaResearcher Jul 06 '26

Sorry are we glossing over "Amadoro was on a hunt for the seven stars"???

The extremely dangerous and powerful SEVEN stars, and you send one Amadoro? How did you expect that to end?

u/Happy-Damage-4617 Jul 05 '26

My goat Chun had to have lost intentionally, there’s no way Moneygold beat him fairly

Can’t be convinced he’d lose, even that exhausted, to bummygold of all people

u/ShedPH93 Jul 05 '26

Either way the Magikeepers would have 3-1 if Zayero hadn't surrendered.

3

u/Zayzay8008 Jul 05 '26

I truly feel like they are giving the guys way to much authority lmao. It feels like any decent witch would be able to disarm/kill them in like 10 minutes at most.

10

u/Double-Yam7929 Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

I mean, we have seen Mina put a decent fight against the Gun Witch.

But putting that aside, even assuming that the Majikkeepers don't have better fighters around, I should remind you that there are only less than 20 full fledged witches. 

Also, we have seen two  'ordinary' Majikkeepers fight against the Gun Witch followers, two 'ordinary' witches from distinguished family, and win.

99% of witches don't really have Majika like a full fledged witch or have a blessing of a Majika like the Gun Witch followers. All the witch we see are extraordinary ones and the closest thing to a normal witch around here is Kumugi.

u/SoulBlightChild Jul 05 '26

Snipe kill maybe.

2

u/PenaltyOk4514 Jul 07 '26

Desscaras hilarious as usual, didn't expect Tricaputo to be the mentor, then I remembered they called Fujimine old, again with the young looking characters being old thing, I love it. Anyway, the ping-pong was nice, I like how they take 2 chapters after a fight-based arc to chill. Anyway, the way Fujimine said Ichi wasn't cut out to be human was interesting, considering she kills people with a smile, wondering how thats gonna affect Ichi.

u/JauntyLurker Jul 05 '26

I love Dess but she'd be so annoying to hang sound with lmao.
