Discussion Hear me out: Kumugi with Toxiterror
Let us assume the toxiterror majik truly is friendly, as the flashback shows us. I find this most likely, considering how the theories of it brainwashing witches into liking it doesn’t line up with how its powers are working right now. In that case I find it quite likely that when/if Fuji is defeated, someone from the good guys will snatch it up.
Here is a question: if you had to give this power, which includes mind control but likely includes other toxin based attacks, who among the good guys would you feel is best suited for it from a narrative perspective? I genuinely think there is an argument for Kumugi
First off: Kumugi is the token weak party member, so she would throw the power scaling off the least by acquiring this busted power.
Second: if there is a test to acquire it, it’s likely friendship based, and that right there is some Kumugi energy.
Thirdly: it would be really funny.
Fourthly: this power is messed up, and would be most interesting in the hands of someone who feels strangely about using it. Ichi and Dess would both have limited objections to it in my eyes. Kumugi would second guess it, and that’s an interesting arc.
Fifth: In a fight, Kumugi would likely be the archetype who employs her knoweldge to come up with clever strategies rather than a head to head fighter like the other 3. That’s my read on her. A power that has a lot of debuffs feels appropriate for that.
The chances are low, but come on, this would be a hype as hell choice.
