Shueisha’s Shonen Jump has been responsible for creating almost all the widely popular manga series, using a well-honed shonen formula that remains engaging to readers, even as it’s replicated in new titles. One of the most appealing elements of these predictable shonen series is their emphasis on a main male protagonist who eventually teams up with another male character, creating a relationship essential for both their development and the progression of the storyline. Over time, numerous shonen series have introduced legendary duos, like Luffy and Zoro, Goku and Vegeta, Naruto and Sasuke, Asta and Yuno – and now, Ichi the Witch’s exciting manga may have added another compelling pair: Ichi and Gokuraku.
The special quality of Ichi the Witch’s pairing is their uniqueness within the show’s narrative. Unlike many shonen series, this one centers around females, as only they can use magic in this world by obtaining magical creatures known as “Majik” and utilizing their power. However, Ichi turns out to be an anomaly when he acquires a potent Majik, thanks to the unusual condition that only males could possess it. Initially, fans expected the story to continue focusing on female characters. But in an unexpected twist, the most recent arc introduced Gokuraku Kagami, another male character, forming an unforeseen and captivating male duo that fans didn’t see coming.
Shonen Jump’s Ichi the Witch Protagonist’s Bond Is Solidified With Gokuraku
In the series, Gokuraku Kagami is presented as a villain who creates havoc for the Manitel Witches Association, an organization responsible for managing witches. He’s equipped with magical artifacts and has altered his body, self-proclaimed as an “Anti-Magic Enhanced Human.” His actions certainly live up to
In the course of this storyline, Ichi and Gokuraku forge a strong brotherly connection, culminating in their joint victory over Bakugami, the Maijk. This battle is portrayed in exciting action scenes, satisfying Gokuraku’s long-held desire to restore his kingdom’s capacity to experience pain and sorrow. Bakugami emerges as one of Ichi’s toughest Majik opponents, and it’s clear that without Gokuraku’s assistance, he wouldn’t have been able to subdue it.
With Gokuraku persistently eager for combat against other Majiks and formally aligning with Ichi’s squad, enthusiasts can anticipate witnessing more of this pairing as they carry on their pursuit of potent Majik, eventually leading towards the World Hater Majik. As Ichi the Witch‘s tale unfolds at a relentless pace, Shonen Jump might have inadvertently developed a duo that could someday be hailed as one of the most memorable in the realm of manga.
