That's all for today.
Hope it was a satisfying arc conclusion for all new readers.
Personally, I'd have preferred the anime sped up some episodes somewhere so we didn't have that cliffhanger ending, but I'm not really complaining that much.
So long as Season 2 isn't delayed to like 2030 or something stupid.

Would you have been able to resist the temptation of using dark magic?
Or would you have fallen for Iguin's manipulations?

Yeah, he's like Coco in that regard. I genuinely think he was happy that she had come up with a solution he hadn't thought of, even if it was imperfect it shows a completely different approach to magic that no one with traditional training would have even considered. Because coco has largely been figuring shit out on her own, she isn't just digesting answers that were handed to her down through hundreds of years. Its the perfect validation of his entire 'child of hope' project.

And then she just YOINKS the steal out of his hands instead of drawing a spell of her own, and he's disappointed but also "Technically, I have to accept thats a legitimate answer. Shit."

If you're curious, we have a measurable metric for the anime sales boost.

>The manga had 700,000 copies in circulation by July 2018; 1 million copies in circulation by September 2018; over 2.5 million copies in circulation by April 2022; over 4.5 million copies in circulation by October 2022; over 5.5 million copies in circulation by July 2024; over 7 million copies in circulation by November 2025; and over 7.5 million copies in circulation by March 2026.

>9 million as of today according to Shirahama (pic)

Iguin is mad that his scheme didn't pan out, but yeah. He's definitely impressed that Coco tricked him and got around his schemes in her own way.
He one for fair play, in his own way. He could have easily snatched the seal back, but he let Coco win because she was smarter than him in that moment.
>>
now that i think about it, sigil reversing probably only works if the seals are the exact same power
but as we know, brimhats have access to illegal ink that amplifies their magic output, while the one agott draws most likely used your run-of-the-mill ink, that's why the effect only partially gone

what iguin draws on the contraption is more interesting though
i wonder if it's a general anti-spell magic, anti-body-manipulation magic, or even one that is particularly tailored to counter this transformation magic in particular
maybe there's indeed a way to counter spell without reversing the sigil? draining the proverbial magic? redirecting the magic to manifest into something else?
>>
>>289022343
She is a ray of joy.
>>
>>289023048
It occurs to me that they don't have time to study the seal that Iguin drew here. They just immediately use it, and Eunie leaves with it not long after. And Iguin didn't intend for Coco to steal it, its not something he gave her by choice.
It would be interesting if, down the line, the cast takes a closer look at what this magic actually DOES and learns something from it to solve a future problem, a solution that they've technically had within reach for ages but didn't look closely enough at when they had the chance.
>>
>>289022559
These are two children.
Iguin was impressed, but not shocked at their strat. Most adults are probably well aware of the method.

If he just wanted to turn Coco into a Brimhat it'd be trivial. He'd abduct her and brainwash her into a student.
What he wants to do is force her into conundrums where banned magic is the only way out and then guide her hand.
Even if she hates him, his belief is that once she gets a taste of the power of black magic, that she'll always keep pushing the boundaries of society to use it in more and more ways. And she'll change the world in doing so.
>>
>>289022850
I'm happy for her.
>>
>>289023355
more importantly, he wants her to choose the brimhat ethos over the pointed cap one. It's why she has to be nominally a pointed cap to start, if she was just abducted and made a brimcap she'd be as much of an outlaw as them from the start. it's also why she had to be an outsider to start, so she had an unbiased view of witch society and rules before presenting her with magical gordian knots that are only unsolvable by pointed cap rules.
>>
>>289023355
But these "conundrums" are due to forbidden magic initiated by the brimhats themselves. It's one thing if the problem started because the pointed caps failed to act or side effects from sanctioned magic by a pointed cap. But when the solution you're dangling in front of coco just solves the problem you created yourself, i call that racketeering.

"BRIMHATS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this pocket dimension before. There could be BRIMHATS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare eye socket. "I HATE BRIMHATS" he thought. Magic by Pilot reverberated his entire pointy cap, making it pulsate even as the 9 gold coin ink circulated through his powerful thick pen and washed away his (merited) fear of forbidden magic after dark. "With a window-way, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

Iguin's mask is both an eye, and it is the memory wipe spell sigil stylized.
The tassels that hang down are even the tendrils/hands that the memory wipe spell reachs out with.
Iguin is the lidless eye that sees all and makes a joke out of it by using the imagery of the lobotomy spell that Cone Hats use to preserve their masquerade.

Why don't the brimhats just adopt their own apprentices. The whole plot with Coco seems contrived. Putting all your investment in some kid who will act as some holotype for witching. They could just teach random kids magic outside the law of the witches
>>
>>289029701
The point is to use her to change the Tongaris from the inside out.
If she's just a normal apprentice, then all you're doing is extending the conflict another generation, no real change from the status quo.
But if you can put her inside the mainstream witch society as a legally accepted member, but give her a stronger and stronger proclivity to use banned magic to solve problems, she can slowly shift the metric of what is acceptable or gather converts that agree with her that using banned magic to solve problems is a good thing. That will upset the status quo.
>>
>>289029701
We haven't gone too deep into the ideological motivations of the brimhats, but they DO have their own apprentices that we'll see later.
Iguin's gambit isn't about scoring an apprentice. He could do that in any number of ways. But the thing is that the brimhat ideology has completely failed to unseat the Pact for centuries. The brimhats can teach forbidden magic to their students, but they can't teach them how to overturn the pact because thats not something they know how to do themselves. The Brimhats, for all of their secrets, still lose in a direct conflict with the rest of Witch society that sees the pact as unironically a good thing.

Bringing in outsiders and trying to give them a path to magic that isn't bound by EITHER ideology is Iguin's apparent goal. They need to be a blank slate, not indoctrinated in witch culture by birth. Thus they will see the inherent injustice in how the pact has restricted magic and push against it in their own way, and the prodding by the Brimhats is mostly just to show them all of the things that the regular witches wouldn't even want you to know can be done at all. But its still ultimately Coco's choice how to, and even whether to, use that knowledge.

Tldr: Iguin knows that both of the options that have been in play for centuries suck and the brimhats basically can't win, but if he throws the darts enough times with random kids and magic picture books *something* he never planned on will happen and that might be the secret sauce they need to shake up the board.
>>
>>289029752
>>289029791
What i want to see is a scene where Iguin comes to Coco's unambiguous defense, just once, to bail them out of a problem that the brimhats didn't directly cause and which shows that he's now invested enough in her that he doesn't want to risk losing her to random bullshit. Even if he only does it the one time, it would go a long way towards balancing the scales a bit and giving Coco reason to consider the brimhats as something other than just an enemy.

Is that actually where the story is going? Haven't read the manga but it felt suspect to me that the witches can just dictate the course of humanity as if they are the ultimate moral authority.

WHA is not a fast-paced enough series to sustain activity for that long. The anime gave the series a big boost, but all the same, its not a juggernaut that people are crawling out of the woodwork to talk about.
Especially when it would have taken over 3 weeks just to catch up with the anime.
>>
>>289031870
Yeah, its a central point. The dangers of being able to freely share any information aren't ignored, but the obvious slant of the story is that free speech is a higher good because even something dangerous can one day save many or improve the world.
>>
I dislike the morality police but power scale of magic in this series is absolutely busted. Repeating seals, amplification seals, super ink, just draw even more seals, basically any combination of anything is totally busted. You don't even need some weird seal
>>
The most glaring plot hole is why none of the witches plap their cunny apprentices. Birth rates would skyrocket and witches will eventually outnumber muggle, removing the need to keep magic a secret.

It wants to do that but keeps falling back into "actually only I know what speech should be permitted".

1. some of them do
2. that would just recreate the problem they tried to solve

pic unrelated? That's the mother petrification spell, not the dragon labyrinth.

Wait, so this isn't yuri? Coco already has tartar sauce, do Aggot and Tetia also get boyfriends?
>>
>>289032869
Sorry, Euini.
Richeh actually prefers cats.
>>
>>289032781
It's been done before on reddit
The main takeaway is that the spell also have some elements to stop time within its effect, so Cocomom is probably not going to die of starvation

Do you think that Ritchie despite being the shortest is actually the girl with more curves of the four?

Because the Brimmed Caps at the moment are just a think tank larping as anarchists because their numbers are too small to take down post-Pact society and the Knights Moralis. What they need are seeds, young witches who haven't yet grown into the rigidity of their training and actually question the methods of the world instead of accepting it. They send those seeds out into society to take root and eventually punch through the old ways like a sprout finding a fault line in concrete.

Nah, tall slim when she grows up.
Now Tetia. Definitely a holstein cow in the future. Bringing joy and happiness wherever she treads.

Yay, everyone is here.
Also, Coco's mom a tank!

Coco was really stupid in copying the spell because the next page shows the dragon frozen/crystallized. She read that book over and over again but forgot the most important part.
