Ouch, I know Desscaras will get out of this, but she already has been hurt. None of this people are really revived, they are zombies under Hitsugi's control, if Libro's really in there, I think Desscaras would only be freeing him of his suffering, same with all the zombified people here.

Now I'd note Libro used to read a lot and was really interested in magic through what he read in his mom's books. I think the name being after the spanish (probably) word for book is very likely.

i'm confused. I thought magic was only possible because of Majiks and magic items. how would someone learn magic from textbooks? or is it people can learn basic spells and Majiks are the advanced stuff?

ugh that look in her eyes :meguuusad:

could never deny the coolest witch around one last moment with her lil brother... I'm sure she'll get out of this (she's got another lil brother to get back to, after all) but what a gut wrenching last few pages

I'd bet it's a mix of storybooks describing tales of great witches and like, encyclopedias describing the various majiks in the world and what they do. So the "learning" Libro mentions could just be searching for inspiration in past examples and picking out some majiks to acquire early on in Dess' career maybe?

You can use magic from Majiks that other people have acquired, see the first few chapters with Ichi using other spells despite only having Uroro acquired.

Alright, so for this specific chapter I'd give at most a 2/10. I absolutely despise this trope. He doesnt even fully look like your brother!!!! YOU KNOW THE WORLDHATER KILLED HIM!!!!! AND ONE OF HIS ALLIES IS BRINGING HIM BACK AS UNDEAD!!!!!! This should be the greatest insult she has faced since she was born and yet she fuccking embraces him. I can understand stopping for a minute or dropping your rapier when hearing/seeing him, but it should only momentarily stun you. At least when it is so visible, that it is not him. It's so annoying.

I like the backstory and everything, but that reaction is smth I just despise.

Nah, her reaction is reasonable. She lost her brother suddenly and did everything she could to fulfill her promise. Thats also why she’s safe. She won’t break her promise, you’ll see next chapter. As if the GOAT herself could be killed that easily.

Yeah, agreed, really hate this trope. It's extremely rare for the authors to actually make the manipulation believeable. Even if we ignore the problem of 'active combat zone with enemy,' the brother isn't even brought back as 'her brother.' It's corpse desecration, he's clearly a zombified vegetable.

I know she won't die. It's obvious. That's one of the issues. What I like to see is the shiit that happened in Full Metal Alchemist. Sees the impersonation of a deseased close friend and immidiatly goes into full power. Now I GUESS it is more reasonable for a guy to act like that and for a girl to at first try to embrace the copy, because men and women handle/process relationships and loss completely differently, but it's still annoying and that excuse is stupid, because I expect neither gender to fall for such obvious bait.

The only time this is acceptable IMO is when the killer themselves gives this opportunity. So let's say they are fighting worldhater and he brings him out, completely intact, saying "Of course I can reverse my own doing" or smth. In that case, there would be uncertainty whether the boy is actually real or not. Now someone who accepted and has come to terms with the loss should deny whatever offer was made, even if they have to think for a bit. But this, with him being an obvious corpse is cheap writing, imo.
