Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen stands as one of the most remarkable modern manga series. Its success largely stems from introducing an overwhelmingly powerful character named Gojo Satoru, who embodies the title of the Strongest. Gojo’s incredible strength captivated fans from the very beginning. Although Jujutsu Kaisen has concluded, this archetype continues to thrive.
The manga world now has a new Strongest figure: Desscaras from Ichi the Witch (Madan no Ichi). She perfectly represents what it means to be the strongest in her own universe.
Desscaras is the New Gojo Satoru of Manga
Desscaras is an incredibly powerful witch from the world of Ichi the Witch, where only women can become witches. She is not only the strongest witch but also the most significant character after the protagonist. Her power is so immense that she is famously known as the Abyss Witch.
There are many similarities between Desscaras and Gojo Satoru. First, Desscaras mentors the younger generation, much like Gojo did with Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara. Characters who nurture others tend to be very beloved.
Second, like Gojo, Desscaras carries an aloof and indifferent demeanor, a fascinating contrast to what one might expect from the strongest character. This only adds to their appeal.
Desscaras is Ichi the Witch’s Most Popular Character
Another major similarity between Desscaras and Gojo Satoru is their passionate fanbases. It’s no exaggeration to say Gojo is the most beloved character in Jujutsu Kaisen, and Desscaras currently holds that spot in Ichi the Witch.
Clearly, the creator of Ichi the Witch has crafted a character as outstanding as Gojo, following the same admirable Strongest archetype.
Desscaras has demonstrated power that allows her to defeat powerful Majik with a single strike, cause widespread destruction, and easily overcome the strongest Majik in the series, a perfect parallel to how Gojo dominates cursed spirits.
Fans can only hope Desscaras continues to grow stronger, and with her rising popularity, she deserves a much better fate than Gojo’s.
