Ichi the Witch’s Latest Arc Continues the Adventure in a New Land
The appearance of the World Hater Majik is a monumental moment as the plot is finally solidifying. The Majik is considered the greatest threat of the Mantinel Witches Association. He managed to get away even with Descarras getting in his way. However, he will appear again, and things will be far worse the next time. According to a prophecy by Jikishirone, the Orcale Witch, Ichi will be a messiah destined to acquire the World Hater Majik.
While this should be good news for everything, the acquisition comes at a price. Ichi will die as a result, but he doesn’t seem bothered by the prophecy at all. Instead, the young witch has set his mind on hunting the most powerful Majik he has ever seen. Later, Jikishirone advises him to travel to the joyous land of Bakugami, where he will meet a companion. That companion will help him in the battle against the World Hater Majik.
In Chapter 22, as soon as Jikishirone mentions the “companion,” we see a man hunting Majiks in a forest and asking how to acquire them. In Chapter 23, the manga reveals he is Gokuraku, the brutalizer. Although he is able to defeat Majiks with his incredible strength, he has yet to acquire them. Even so, he wishes to become a witch and is impressed by Ichi, a male witch. He takes Ichi with him and asks the latter to teach him how to acquire a Majik. Since the latest arc commences in Chapter 23, the following chapters will delve deeper into this character as the journey in Bakugami unfolds.
