The witches capturing a majik can undo whatever the majik did, like the shark that froze the town.
The majik hunters could do more harm than good fighting the majiks without the witches' supervison, and probably don't want to be taking orders from people they're supposed to be policing.

Tbh the Magikeepers seem like a stupid retcon. If they were such an important organization, why are we only hearing about them now.
Also why did Gokuraku turn himself into a cyborg to stop Bakugami, when there are seemingly mass produced weapons in the world that could absorb magiks?
Kinda the first time I thought the writing was kinda sloppy.

If they only hunt rogue witches it makes sense we haven't seen them until a convenient rogue witch could appear.
>>Ichi knows someone there
You mean the guy that we've known about since forever ago? If you want to complain about writing, make sure you have a good point first.
>>287419689
I can see the logic being they don't want to give the Mantel witches any slack. World Hater is a problem but think about how nuts it would be if Dess went rogue on the rest of the world. The Magi-keepers are the only counter should the witches turn on everyone else. Even if we believe such a thing would never occur.

>>287421114
I agree it's weird we only hear about them now but to be fair the magikeepers don't seem to be well known in universe unlike the witches as the people in the street were surprised to see males fighting.
>>
>>
>>287421114
>Also why did Gokuraku turn himself into a cyborg to stop Bakugami
He used the technology from his own nation for one which even Mantel didn't have access too. And Gokuraku seemingly never really ventured out of his kingdom before then because of his desire to protect his sister and kill Bakugami. Plus witches are already rare so why would he see/hear about the magikeepers when all they do is hunt witches?

I think your brain is broken if you saw a kid attack someone as a greeting and then glomp them out of joy for seeing what is essentially his father figure in life. And thought all that was gay.

>>287422172

Given that he has one chick down bad for him I think you're just projecting things onto what is essentially a hunting autist who would rather gut a fish than re-arrange your own guts.
>>
>>287420786
Yep it looks like it will be a short mini-arc where they’re gonna try to convince Ichi to switch sides by appealing to his father figure, and he’ll either say No immediately or maybe think it over for one chapter, and in the end, there’ll be another group hug, and his friends will be moved because he decided to stick with them.
>>
>>287421114
>why are we only hearing about them now.
To be fair, when exactly would we have heard about them before given their purpose?
>Also why did Gokuraku turn himself into a cyborg to stop Bakugami, when there are seemingly mass produced weapons in the world that could absorb magiks?
Given Ichi has never seen weapons like this and they make Dess uncomfortable and we know men generally can't use magic items I highly doubt these weapons are "mass produced". They're probably built exclusively for magikeepers, in which case how would Gokuraku even know about them? Let alone get his hands on them. We also don't exactly how they work, so for all we know they wouldn't have been helpful. >>287421671
>I wouldn't have thought a scrub like her would have one.
To be fair, we've mostly seen the trials of human haters and/or extremely powerful majiks. She likely found a mildly useful majik with a piss easy trial
>>
>>
>>287422299
>I highly doubt these weapons are "mass produced".
Ichi comments on the black metal for the weapons. So if it's anything like Gokuraku the mineral they use is incredibly rare or at least regionally specific.
>>
>>287422222
I'm not calling him gay anon. It's just his design makes every male around that interacts with him appear 10 times gayer at the very least. This sort of thing can only be accomplished by female authors...

Also magikeeper can't deal with Majik. Like for example the shark Majik. They could fight it but won't be able to defeat it completely as it would keep regenerate.

It is, but it’s a pretty boring ability compared to being able to summon them and use their abilities yourself. Also, it hasn’t been confirmed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a condition like “we can only seal Majik that have been tamed by witches beforehand” or something like that.

I get that, but now the manga lost the "Ichi being the only man on par with the witches" angle
>>
>>287421114
It's a bit sloppy, Desscaras has proper gravitas but rogue witches and the Magikeepers are kept hush-hush enough that commoners can recognize one but not the other
It depends on whether Uroro, World Hater and Chrono are already the apex of "known" magics so little else was big enough to become common gossip
>>
>>
>>
>>287423567
Eh not really. Even in terms of power they are obviously much less important.
Witches can build and use magic items, defeat and absorb Magiks and use all kinds of miraculous powers to alter society. These guys can...beat a witch in a fight, maybe. They are important on a political level to keep Witches somewhat in check, but as an organization they aren't all that really.

So next arc will be about an evil witch, right? Feels like these guys have to be being introduced to that end.
I could see one of the remaining "Seven Stars" of the World Hater coming up with some plan where they found a witch that they could fully manipulate and then had her acquire themself. Then they just have her cast their spell to let them out and now they have free reign to destroy everything without fear of their trial getting in the way.
Though obviously the witch would then become an issue as her mana could run out or she could be stopped physically, so maybe there'll be 2 of the Seven Stars again with one covering the witch while the other uses her.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>287427586
>An evil witch
I think the most obvious scenario is that, despite accusing witches of being corrupted, someone within the Majik Keepers ends up becoming a villain who attacks or blames other witches for acts he himself committed (perhaps the leader himself). There could also be an evil witch to show that there is corruption on both sides, so they should work more closely together to prevent this from happening.

Yeah, Dess definitely is just freaked out by the weapon. Given how many majiks she's got in her, it makes sense that she's hate them.
I imagine we're going to get some insight into how bad it is for the Majiks that get sucked into those weapons. I doubt the fat fake Dess cared much about her hippo, but there's probably witches that have good relationships with their Majiks that would be crushed at having them taken from them.

>>
>>287423814
>>287423903
Okay, so why even ask them for help against Majiks then? They can't do anything. What do the witches want from the alliance? It's pointless.

That’s definitely where the arc is heading: to show readers that not all witches are good. So we’ll likely get a villainous witch, probably one who actually harms people or is genuinely dangerous, to demonstrate why magikeepers need to exist.

They cannot use magic so they can't hunt magicks or create magic tools. They simply can shit stomp a witch in direct combat through training and special gear. Think of dnd wizard slayers.

>>287430243
I don't like this. One of the hooks for me was the setting where the witches are on the top of the hierarchy. It would be fine if magikeepers were formed to keep them in line politically, but to straight up have them be on par strength wise is too much.

Well we still got 5 more of the World Hater's "Seven Stars" to get through. I imagine they'll be split into groups of 1-2 in the coming arcs, which gives just enough wiggle room to focus on each of the other head witches and bring in these Magikeeper people at the same time.

>>287436836
As we saw with Desscaras, you also need physical ability to handle some majiks. I have to imagine any woman physically capable of keeping up with the male Magikeepers would still be better served apprenticing to a physically based magic witch.
>>
>Bunch of people complaining about the magikeepers as if they break the balance of the setting
They're only busted again witches, not magiks. They have no way to kill or subjugate magiks properly. It's a game of rock, paper, scissors.
Magiks beat magikeepers but lose to witches
Witches lose to magikeepers but win against magiks
Magikeepers beat witches but lose to magiks
Makes sense to me, it's nice world building because the setting kind of breaks the second you think "but what if there were evil witches". Cause if there was evil witches that only good witches could deal with that would completely derail the focus of the plot being on the magiks.
Plus I don't know how you think you could have a setting about magic and witches WITHOUT there being any kind of witch hunters.

There hasn't really been a lot of that in Iruma. Even when Iruma went on his evil period, there was all of one bit where he made his friend who is a girl sit on his leg and pet her, but then really nothing else. The main "romance," if you can call it that, is with an amazon and it's pretty cheesy and sweet. And most of the guys are pretty standard dudes and there's not a lot of "strangle dude" types running around. Most like that is the main villain rival of the MC, who is naturally way more fujo coded than yumejo.
What she seems to like is really tall, pretty demon men who makes girls pregnant.
>>
>>287438253
Women on twitter would coom over a cardboard cutout if you gave it collarbones and trauma. It’s not some grand statement about domination, it’s just fujo brain activating whenever two tall dudes stand within 3 feet of each other.
Half of them were calling the magikeepers problematic yesterday and are drawing ship art today. That’s just how fandom works.
