Majo to Yajuu Episode 5 Discussion

Damn, I shouldn't have praised it right before they introduce one of the most comically stupid villains (and give a dumb lecture about souls that doesn't make any sense), but whatever ...

I am curious. Considering that death and souls are some of the great mysteries, what doesn't make sense to you about the stories explanation?

In fact, it is "void" according to our Eastern concept. When the soul dies again, it will fall into a place where nothing exists at all? Only consciousness permanently stays there (no above, no below, no left, no right, no bright, no dark, no hot, no cold, no colorless, no sound, no odor, no taste, no pain, no joy, no fear, no sadness....no concepts exist in this here. Only your consciousness will remain forever). Leaving the cycle of reincarnation also has many concepts, it simply means that you will escape the cycle of birth and death and will not be under the control of earth, hell, heaven or the realms within the cycle of reincarnation.... normal human beings Normally, if the soul is killed and dissolved, it will go to the ''void'' realm, but for supernatural entities, when they had the power to overcome the cycle of reincarnation, they will move to supreme spaces or realms. Basically, I think whether humans, demons, gods or supernatural entities. If their souls are destroyed and cannot be restored, they will all fall into the void realm.

This hybrid witch/necromancer and her partner have potential to be leading protagonists. In fact, they remind me of a leading couple from Undead Girl Murder Farce.

Can't imagine how good this show'll be if this got the Heavenly Delusion treatment instead of getting a barely subpar adaptation

Could any readers of the manga tell me where the anime is in its adaptation of the manga ?

Man learning about what happens to strays’ souls after the necro spell wears off is horrible. Last week I said it was morally grey, but it’s not even in doubt anymore. Bringing people back to life is a purely selfish choice for the living person. The necromancer got exactly what he deserved. Very satisfying episode.

Things went about as I expected with Phanora pretending to be captured and Johan playing the bait. But Phanora’s big reveal as a witch was surprising as hell. I knew she had a trick up her sleeve, but didn’t know she had THAT. Her abilities are so scary, she’s extremely powerful but what’s more is that she totally changes how I looked at witches in this series. We’ve kinda been made to think they’re all bad, but apparently there’s good ones too.

I’m assuming Guideau already knows she’s a witch too since they’re part of the same org? Haven’t seen them on screen together yet to be 100 percent sure

The look on the necromancer face when he realised he fucked up by capturing literally the two worst possible people 😂 man Hayamin’s voice during Phanora reveal was so good. Very bloody ending to those negotiations as well.

Making the necromancer maintain all the people he’s revived as well as basically making his reunion with his beloved impossible is a perfect ending to this mini arc. She might not act like it at times, but Phanora clearly cares a lot for Johan and while she may abuse him, she’s not gonna let anyone else do it lol.

I hope we get to see more of them. They reminded me a lot of Tsuguru and Aya from undead girl as does the series in general tbf.
