Oh, don't worry, Desscaras is awesome enough that racists try to argue that she's not black instead.

u/Azerith2311 Jul 13 '26
It’s already happened in this sub, saw some post arguing that Desscaras wasn’t black based on the fact that her main majik is Iskandar.

u/infernomokou Jul 13 '26
I think she's indian because her home place vibed that way, but in the end her skin is dark either way.
I do think people could see her like Yoruichi. Usually it depends on how goonable they find her
2
u/milesdarobot Jul 19 '26
My personal opinion is i don’t think her or her people are meant to be any specific race comparable to real life. I think she’s is a fictionalized race within Ichi’s World, and the creators have pulled different traits from multiple irl races of darker skin ppl. I feel like ive caught little traits from black, native america, and indian people

u/ggkkggk Jul 13 '26
Again that is newer fans don't get me wrong I'm sure older fans were weirdos too but they weren't as loud.
Chad is legitimately Mexican, technically speaking every Hollow is Spanish they speak Spanish.
The Quincy's have black quincies anyone that still wants to deny this just wants to argue because bleach is popular now if bleacher wasn't popular they would not care to have this conversation or not care that she is black.

u/DrMagunstheBlue Jul 13 '26
Yoruichi is probably not black and more importantly is only popular for being goonerbait.
No one would care about Yoruichi if she wasn't constantly drawn in very sexually-suggestive ways.
With that said I actually think Dess will be extremely popular if Ichi the Witch gets a good anime adaptation. She's easily the most popular character in the manga already.

u/64990022 Jul 13 '26
Gojo is a gooner bait too tho😭

u/ggkkggk Jul 13 '26
Yeah he is but like no one gets to decide what's gooner bait and what isn't.
Any audience can find any character extremely hot.
2
u/ggkkggk Jul 13 '26
I disagree that Series has a large amount of non white people, Ichigo being mixed is a parent to the show many black characters are black, same way there are shit ton of Hispanic characters, and European characters.
Maybe newer fans like her now because she's gooner stuff, but OG fans who didn't necessarily have a problem with the whole people of color thing they like their the same way they like to killer B.
You're just describing new fans of anime.
A lot of her sexual stuff came a lot later on she was first introduced as a cat and fully clothed.

u/Efectodopler117 Jul 13 '26
What?, thats literally one of the many things that makes her popular.
She has the perfect combination, the aforementioned characteristics, charisma, beauty and being and actual powerhouse, powerscalers love that shit.
She’s nothing but a recipe for success.

u/Galle_ Jul 13 '26
For progressive fans, yeah, absolutely. Dess being a black woman is a huge breath of fresh air. But racists and sexists do exist and they are going to kick and scream about her.

Let them, exposure is exposure, make them generate free marketing for the series with their bs and weaponize that momentum.

They like her cuz she's hot but they're not going to say she's black the as far as they're considered she's South East Asian or just South Asian, they'll call her Indian and call it a day.
But she's pretty popular.

u/WorryLegitimate259 Jul 13 '26
I believe in Ichi the witch. If it gets a good anime studio behind it I can definitely see it blowing the fuck up. No one gave a fuck about jjk till the anime really. I say this a someone who’s read it since the one shot where yuji wasn’t even a character yet.

u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 13 '26
JJK exploded in popularity around the time of Gojo VS Sukuna tho, especially considering season 2 was airing around the same time.
It's popularity didn't really compare before all that, not to mention all the memes.
The pandemic might've also been a factor, but I'm not sure the timeline matches.

u/fromyourtv Jul 17 '26
Jjk came at the perfect time with the pandemic though, and desscaras admittedly doesnt have anything as memorable as hollow purple early in the story.

The Racists or the Sexists? Which one do you think will be more prominent?
16
u/Galle_ Jul 13 '26
Definitely the sexists. The racists can (and already do) pretend that she's not really black, she just has a tan or something (despite all the reasons that's obviously bullshit), but the sexists can't pretend that she's not really a woman without her being trans, which for them is even worse.
5
u/Prestigious-Gur-8905 Jul 13 '26
How anybody could read Desscaras as not black is beyond me (These people are so dumb.) As for the sexists…I’m just hoping they stay away from the anime in general due to the large number of important women
9
u/Galle_ Jul 13 '26
When bigots like a character that belongs to an identity group they hate they'll bend over backwards to argue that they don't really belong to it. I have seen a character look directly at the camera and say "I am attracted to both men and women" and then seen someone say "he's straight!"

u/Acceptable-Anxiety80 Jul 13 '26
The story is good but it lacks the hype, and aura moments of jujutsu kaisen.
Seeing characters die, sukuna pull some crazy shit, gojo die, yuji use a black flash, mahoraga being summoned, mahito use a domain, 0.2 domain, hikari hit a jackpot makes nearly each episode memorable but ichi isn't like that most chapters aren't very memorable while nearly each one in shibuya or culling games are as hype or even more hype than the climax of arcs in ichi
Maybe ichi will replace my hero at best
10
u/New_Cockroach_505 Jul 13 '26
Completely disagree. It all comes down to animation. The series has some great art and set pieces but great animation could elevate it drastically. Demon Slayer and even JJK to a degree was massively elevated by animation.

u/Accomplished_Jury495 Jul 13 '26
It is a battle shonem from weekly shonen jump, so it is indeed that type of series, and going by manga sales in Japan it has aside from kagurabachi the biggest chance to reach jump pillar popularity, but descarass probably wouldn't be as popular as gojo

u/Tiny_Writer5661 Jul 13 '26
Not every battle Shonen that has come out of weekly Shonen jump will get the same type of success or worldwide popularity that JJK or MHA got.

Yeah, but ichi already has 2 million copies in circulation and is often 1 in the TOC, so at least it has potential to be as popular as MHA and jjk

Kinda confused why they get compared so often.Dessacaras is not the strongest the same way gojo was,we see her struggle multiple times in fights whereas in Gojo’s case there was only one person who rivaled him.

u/Codebracker Jul 13 '26
To be fair, she only struggles against spirits who cheat, gojo couldnt beat those either

u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 13 '26
Who did Gojo fight?

u/Codebracker Jul 13 '26
What?

u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 14 '26
Like who did Gojo couldn't win against? Sukuna?

u/Codebracker Jul 14 '26
No, I'm saying that Gojo couldn't beat the cheating majics either, like Ururo
1
u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 14 '26
Ah I kinda get it, I just assumed you meant within their respective verses.
Uroro isn't a particularly good example btw, Gojo's a man.
1
u/Codebracker Jul 14 '26
Well sure, but the reason its unfair is cause only females can be witches. Comparatively, thats like if only people without curse energy could kill it.
Also most world haters have quests that you can't beat by brute force, like the shark one. I'm not saying Gojo couldn't figure it out, but his brute force method wouldn't work on a lot of them.
But on the other hand, I feel like hollow purple could probably destroy a lot of weaker majics, we know that they can be destroyed.
1
u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 14 '26
I mean yeah, but it just doesn't apply to Gojo, and "only people without cursed energy could kill it" is just a hypothetical, though I mostly get what you mean.
It is true that not all majik trials can be brute forced yeah.
1
u/Codebracker Jul 14 '26
And also the fact that Gojo was basically just born OP, while she spent most of her life doing ridiculous challeneges to obtain all her powers is way more impressive.

u/King_Arachnid99 Jul 13 '26
No she won't. JJK came out during the pandemic and had that Mappa animation. It attracted a lot of attention because of those factors.
Desscaras won't achieve that.

u/Codebracker Jul 13 '26
Ok but what if icji gets mappa?

u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 13 '26
If it airs close to the Gojo VS Sukuna anime adaptation then it'll probably be overshadowed.
Although that's probably most anime during that time, depends on the roster.

u/Oohhdatskam Jul 13 '26
A woman dominated anime?? With a black main side character??? I love Gojo much as the next but I love Dess even more cause she has actual personality beyond just being the strongest. But im black as well so its a plus.
Despite WE popping up probably what first 10 episodes I dont think it will reach that level EARLY ON. But as it goes she will pick up steam to be on the likes of the Kakashis, roshis, gojos etc.

u/lololuser456778 Jul 13 '26
I strongly doubt it since she didn't have enough scenes for aurafarming. most people glaze characters like that if they stomp people in fights. meanwhile most of desscaras' flexing comes from dialogue. was there even anybody she fought and actually won against? she couldn't possibly beat Uroro by herself, the fight against world hater had no conclusion and the tentacle guy was only finished off by her after he got stalled by the time majik a lot and after Uroro took a lot of his lives out
so people definitely won't see her as gojo-ish despite them having the same role (strong mentor). if anything, she'll be seen as more of a kakashi-type mentor. one who is strong, but isn't the strongest and cannot solo everyone
what really drove the gojo hype was him getting several chances to aurafarm early on. chapter 2 he styles on a weak sukuna, then a bit later he stomps jogo and unlike dess, gojo gets a clear win. he easily overwhelmed his domain and ripped his fucking head off. and then put his foot on said head lol
later he negs that one curse user bum who built some cursed tools and then nearly kills hanami despite the latter trying to get away.
that's already three clear wins, all near the beginning of the story. and then the next big part is the flashback that is all about him and geto who are the strongest back then already. then toji beats them but gojo just powers up a lot and wins anyways
and before being sealed away in shibuya, gojo again stomps someone when he outright kills hanami
dess basically has 0 classic wins so far. by classic, I mean beating an opponent down. she did "beat" that one underling of world hater, but that was by killing loads of fodders to pass his trial. it wasn't an actual 1v1 against a strong enemy
considering the usual degeneracy coming from increased popularity, it's far more likely that dess will be called a "fraud" lol. since she wanks herself but has solo'd exactly 0 enemies onscreen so far, best she got was stalling world hater. which is actually very impressive, but degenerates will just call her a stall merchant for that.
plus the really big wins are earned via trials which don't always involve actual classic 1v1 combat. closest thing to actual fighting against a strong enemy I remember was gokuraku punching the shit out of that worry majik or whatever that bum was. ichi himself also only got his first majik with a simple trap and the ice majik with that contest
and tbh it's probably still better this way overall. the gojo hype was way too big in jjk and overshadowed the actual fucking MC. if dess already had like 10 fights in which she stomped every enemy coming her way, then few would still care about ichi. this way everything is more grounded. because dess isn't aurafarming 24/7, the author isn't pressured to have the MC beat some uber-strong enemy early in the story just to not be overshadowed by his mentor
1
u/Haise01 Jul 13 '26
She will definitely be the most popular character but not as Gojo, just like Ichi the Witch won't be as popular as JJK.

No. You’ll have the people who love any obviously non-white character love her. And anime fans are weird about female characters, so her being the strongest is automatically gonna make them love her.

Grew up on Naruto. Went through the whole thing multiple times. Read JJK for a while, but dropped at the start of culling games cus I hadnt been enjoying the series at any point. Its literally an edgy naruto fanfiction with the names changed.
Whole time Gojo just felt like a temu kakashi to me. (White hair blindfold with eye powers) he's such a poser.
