>>288156023Thought he was trying to use Ichi as bait for the job offer, but judging from his reaction in the third panel, turns out it was just a coincidence after all
>>288156234And CONFIRMED
>>288156265Thank you for posting.
>>288156265Hard as fuck
>>288155817We need to teach girls how to be women again by giving them firearms and tanks like in the olden days.
>>288155829Metal Slug reference.
>>288155907>not!Ancient JapanStop.
>>288156265>learning how his prey movesIt's so over for her.
>>288155938You'd think that if there is a species of tree that hard counters women, that they would have exterminated it to extinction long ago so it wouldn't be a threat anymore.
>>288156742The Witches are a benevolent force, not israelis
>>288156742So whatever is happening can be cut, I guess? Having an external audit is better too.
>>288156265>SHAFT neck
>>288156742>women can't tough it>magical beings made of magical energy can't do anything about it >these trees are likely highly guarded by regular humans who just want an insurance policy against reality warpers and morally bad witches are rogue for a reason
>>288156876can't **touch it damn it
>>288156265He's like a hunting dog on standby.>already thought of 100 ways to kill her
>>288155938So women are inherently magical even without any magiks?
>>288156265She said the thing!
Man, I love how this male only organization that is obviously super well known, super strong and super important wasn't even hinted at until this arc.That's some superb writing.
>>288157111i don't have the pyramid on hand but all women can use magical tools, i'd guess so
I LOVE GATORINGU!
>>288157137What would be the point of bringing up the group that only hunt evil witches when the story was focused on good witches and hunting evil Majiks?
>>288155938Goku's new upgrade.
>>288156023Is he forced to wear the fugly hat because it's a family heirloom?
>>288156257>>288156234why are people saying this confirms brainwashing? I agree that brainwashing is very likely, but this does not confirm it at all
Ichi the No Stakes
>>288156742I assume it like it Superman suddenly wiped out all Kryptonite on Earth, it'd look suspicious
>>288157365Its the jellyfish magik's spell that makes me think so
The only thing this has going for it are the character visual designs and even that is neon zoom, put doohickeys on a flat color, style
>>288157327Gokus body parts are themselves magic aren't they? even though magic tools are meant to be female only
>>288157111Don't they say that in chapter 1
>>288156265She looks downright female in this page
>>288157964No he has some bullshit alloy.
>>288157848If it wasn't for Nishi's vetran status it have died with the Shark Majik
>>288155817>/k/ivilizationOh hell yes
>>288157988Always has been
>>288156197Baby I'll bust a nut in you
>>288155817>>288155829>Tomboy evolved into ChadetteTuesdays are going to be a little fun
>>288157137You must not be a very good writer if you think they should just randomly bring up a part of the world while it's not relevant.
>>288157325uroro was acquired through sheer luck. if there's a super organization full of men and a fucking tree species that hasn't been eradicated yet for some reason, the moment uroro's trial is exposed he's pretty much dead
>>288156876just use fire or whatever, it's fucking tree
>>288157988it's because the fake beard is hidden by the SFX
>>288155817>>288155829>that contrast in her eyes from the last two panels in the first page and the second in the secondYeah, she's totally brainwashed.
>>288158365its a magical tree that if a magically adept woman were to touch it, it can kill her.and then again, its clear that so far the mantinel association are good sports and honorable women, they probably wouldnt dare to destroy the trees either at the risk of being called terrorists, monsters or cowards.
>>288156848Maybe Nishi is trying to get shaft to do the eventual anime adaptation?
>>288157289GAT GAT GAT
>>288157365It looks like a spell.
>>288156876>magical being can't do anything about itthen goku should just use it instead of making himself a useless half cyborg
>>288158365>heavily guarded >>288159452this chapter heavily implies that a guy has to be born into a magikeeper family to become a magikeeper

Power scaling is all fuckered up
>>288156023Minakata joined Magikeepers a week ago?
>>288159854Stop thinking about girlpenises.

>>288155817This is an incredible page. Hope to see it spread around a bit.
>>288155803>ywn have a range date with her>ywn compare your targets>ywn share your guns with her>ywn impress her with your hip shots done with your Colt SAA or you dual wielding two 92FS'es>ywn have a night of sweaty sex combined with the smell of ballistol and gunsmoke
>>288156780OY VEY
First real meh chapter for me. Still don't like the Magikeeper stuff for now and there's so much lip-service for the fighters.>"She has Desscaras level firepower and huge magic reserves bla bla bla">"Okay, but our guy has mastered his weapon in just 3 months (trust me, that's impressive despite the lack of comparison)"And then you watch the fight and it's ... just smashing their bulky weapons against each other. Big disconnect there.>>288156023What was his plan here? It doesn't seem like he knew about their connection so what would it matter to Minakata if some random schmuck became the first male witch? Super random.>>288156265That's Gon pose
>>288155817Cute tomboy!
>>288155803
>>288156160Desscaras bros, she got prodigycrept!
>>288160356>Big disconnect there.For one its clear she isn't going hard yet since nothing seen has matched Iskandar or a Piercing spell. Shel literally just now manifested her Majik. For another there has only been a couple short exchanges within a single chapter so we can't gadget her overall combat capabilities when CC should favor Minakata's toolset. It it too much for people to be patient and let things play out first?
>>288160525>tomboy>cute
Thanks for delivering as always
>>288159892FUCK HER RIGHT IN THE PUSSY!
>>288159892I can fix her
So why is Dess the le best witch GOAT again?
>>288161120The issue with that type of superfluous exposition is that it doesn't help anyone.The stuff they talk about is so incredibly vague that it doesn't inform the viewer in advance about potential strategies or foreshadow twists in the battle. It's just pointless powerscale bullshart (and in Minakatas case we don't even have a scale).If we're gonna see their competence anyways, then just let me gauge that myself by watching what they do. No need to sell them to me like a desperate car salesman. And if we don't get to see their competence then it feels like a cheap method to hype someone up.
>>288161711Because she's the elegant, beautiful, gorgeous, uber-talented, all-powerful, wealthy, intelligent, badass, loved by all, magical prodigy Desscaras of course
>>288155829I am hyped for this arc, but I don't like this Amadoro witch. Get rid of her please.
>>288159877Good!
>>288161864Once again. We are just one chapter into this exchange so how are you sure the exposition isn't helpful? And it does foreshadow things because...>It's just pointless powerscale bullshart The entire premise of magic wood and Minakata's hunting experience are already going to prove this wrong. His win conditions are to seal away the Majik as we already saw with the fake Dess and/or hit gun witch with his staff which should instant KO her. Ichi started the series by using traps and tactics when he isn't triggered by his death for death instinct and Minakata is a much older, wiser, and calmer person who is stated to be a genius rookie. Gun witch having more damaging attacks is what I suspect will be used to properly legitimize thr Majikeepers as a threat to the witches. All this is still to say Minakata might have to get help and the Gun witch might be needed depending on if she is possessed and whether this impairs her combat ability. >No need to sell them to me like a desperate car salesman.That is simple setup. Which the story has done multiple times.
>>288155829>GIGA MACHINE GUN!
>>288161711Other witches specialize, Dess is a Jack of all trades master of all.
>>288161711She's the hottest
>>288161711She actually went out of her way to get some insane majicks
>>288160356It's Nishi doing exposition chapters before the big event
>>288161711black girl magic
>Men ACTUALLY do matter
>>288160110Turn the fibers from the tree into a rope that drains the witches of their magic.
>>288161901She reminds me of Herta
>>288161711Desscarass is a top 10 witch, possibly top 5 or even top 3. Magikeepers aren't witches. They're men with anti-witch weaponry. They have better speed and weapons that can one-tap witches.
>>288160356The main thing is Magikeeper lore clashes with Gokuraku. Either one of them shouldn't exist
>>288163260They have say time and time again she do IS the strongest.
>>288163427how does it clash?
>>288163427How? Bakugami IS NOT a witch>b-but magic wood by what we know so far, probably1) Highly regulated2) It keep in a "Boy's Club" so unlikely he could just get his hands on it.
>Authors got bored with the all-female premise and have to shoe-horn in men now
>>288163581Yuri fans are tourist cheapskates who don't spend moneyMany such cases
>>288163427Magic rocks grafted into the body kamen rider style does not clash with skilled warriors using wooden weapons. Please call me when the Magikeepers pull a cannon out of their arms.
>>288159892I can break her
>>288163427No? In fact, Gokuraku's existence basically implies that men can use magic related items.
>>288156023Just out of nowhere, the dude is not part of your org, why bring up such a random event?
>>288165061Skandar is great, but I am afraid its Descarras strongest Majik. I hope not and its just her favorite majik who packs a punch, maybe she has a "I have to use THAT" majik in her arsenal.
>>288165895Ichi is a big deal
>>288157137Okay this is not so unrealistic then >>288156023 because anon just want to get random factoids.
>>288155775>>288155897Boy Mugi and Boy Desscaras. >>288155959Does it imply that Minakata is a family name and/or title? >>288156160HOLY SHIT!
>>288158857
>>288166465
>>288155817>>288156197No one mentioned we got a female looking Majik?
>>288165895That is most certainly not random.
>>288155817>Gun tomboyhell yes
>>288161864Basically, with this series we're told how strong characters are but giving how most of the fights are handled it's hard to actually gauge anything
I want Amadoro fanservice
>>288166677For a country bumpkin it is.
>>288156265I don't liek Ichi's hair. Switch it for this character please Nisio Ishin.
>>288156234brainwash theory, confirmed
desscarabros are we still relevant
>>288168804Mentor number 2 will be relevant again someday.
>>288155775nice color page>draw a girl, call it a boy>>288155803>draw a boy, call it a girl
>>288163581i miss kuckmugi and gokuraku somehow. the last baby abortion arc with the helluva boss looking motherfucker really slowed the momentum this series had going for it for me.
>>288167982>but giving how most of the fights are handled it's hard to actually gauge anythingNot really. Since all the fights thus far have been witch vs Majik it's still very clear when a Majik is strong or weak. Especially since the last arc specifically featured 3 of the strongest Majik's we've seen proving just why they have their reputations (Chrono, Uroro, Octobomber) and if the Reverser Majik is the only "Strong" majik that has a relatively weaker showing since he was more reliant on a World hater staff. That's not going to make it hard to gauge other characters. Dess and Togeice have both proven they can back up their bluster.Nobody is being called strong in this series without having merit to justify the description.
>>288155938>women afraid of woodkek
>>288163581>shoe-horn in menOr maybe Nishi and Usazaki just wants to draw yaoi
>>288161711Because something like a low double digit percentage of the magiks they've caught over the years were caught by her alone based on how many jewels she has.
>>288163158do NOT post gacha whores on /a/
>>288168804It's all downhill from here.
>>288156197
World Hater Status: still in the cuck chair, what are the manzai pair going to do this arc?>>288172666she'll have her redemption moment at the end of the arc.
yeah no hype no stakes nothing
>>288173352the ultimate hunting weapon comes later
>>288173506the ultimate hunting weapon in terms of resource cost vs damage you can do is phishing
>>288159568>we all trained him Desscaras, but you adopted him
>>288160110I imagine the trees are rare and tightly controlled
>>288161711She's the most interested in promoting herself so she gets the most public adulation
>>288165895It's public information that might be slightly slow to travel, may as well mention it
>>288173013Heh
>>288165895A male capable of using magic is a big deal for an organisation that is tasked with fighting witches without using any magic of their own. If you are trying to persuade people who have previously refused to join, showing how things have changed is a good strategy.
>>288155817what a cutie
>>288159892I can make her worse.
>wood that drain magical energy>world hater warping things that somehow looked like plantanyone willing to guess that>world hater was once a majik of a witch that died from overexposure to this wood trying to save him>world hater is a personification of the tree born out of accumulated drain majik that's full of hatred from being trapped>world hater was a weapon given life from prolonged/overdraining magic energy, ichi reminded him of his past wielder
