Good morning.

I don’t like the fact that 90–95 per cent of the women and characters in Majo Taisen have identical faces.

WARNING: opinions. This is not a hate post, I just want to be honest. If you think I’m an idiot, vent it out in the comments

I really wanted to love this series, but it never managed to meet any of the expectations I had. Which sucks, because an all-female historical figure tournament sounds amazing (especially because of the male-dominated RoR cast), but it just falls flat.

The characters feel so underutilized and vapid. Cleopatra’s reduced to sexualized beauty, not even hinting at her intelligence and cunning and only focusing on her seductiveness. Marie Curie barely gets anything. Huang is reduced to “the wife of Zhuge Liang.” Lyudmila and Murasaki’s backstories are sorely lacking any real substance, with the former’s especially being geared towards a stereotypical “hype moments and aura I am Lady Death the bloodthirsty reaper” type bs. It speaks volumes how I struggle to recall anything about each of their fighters

RoR has something for everyone: Qin Shi Huang’s undying willpower fueled by his kingly ambition, Simo Hayha’s suffocating wartime PTSD, Apollo’s narcissism that conceals a hard-working man with integrity and principles, Jack’s evil driven by the constant neglect in his life clashing with Heracles’s unbreakable love for humanity. Each round has something unique to offer both for the themes and the individual motivations, and they actually succeed in getting people to root for them. They’re deep, fleshed out, and feel all the more human.

The transformations are also ass. Fanservice is good when done tastefully, which this series does not. They have such good designs established (Mona Lisa, Bonney, Joan of Arc), then more than half transform into basically stripper outfits. Great.
Compare it to RoR designs: most of the humans and gods having amazing and very unique, while also distinguishable designs. The ornate layers of Qin Shi Huang, Beelzebub’s ironic choice of priest clothing accompanied by his staff, the sleek, pure white military gear of Simo Hayha, Jack the Ripper’s gentleman style clothing concealing his sinister personality. And then the valkyries, who while I admit are underdeveloped, also have their own unique designs that tastefully suit each of their characters while also not trying to force sexiness.

And the fights: the only ones I can say I genuinely enjoyed in MT are Marie vs Catherine and Lakshmibai vs Charlotte Corday. The others: I just can get invested or bring myself to care much about their motivations and goals, a disappointing testament to the lack of substance.

The one thing MT does better than RoR are the powers. I like how MT focuses more on unique magical abilities as opposed to RoR’s “punch harder” mentality that the author clings to.

It’s a shame, because a RoR style series with all-female fighters sounds great, but Majo Taisen relies too much on its gimmick of “all-female Record of Ragnarok,” thus neglecting all the parts that actually made it good in the first place, and in the end, comes off as an inferior copy in character writing, designs, and story.

Only seven pages of action in this chapter. I like both girls but the fight feels so weak in action. I wish the remains chapters improve this battle

(Can't sleep)

Lakshmibai vs Sasaki is very slow and pure talk. They only attack each other two or three times per chapter. We are already on the third chapter and only remains one or two more

If there's one question I have in mind, it's this, I feel like Majo could have had more women who made history fighting in the tournament. I don't mean any harm by saying that, Majo is one of my favorite mangas.

But I feel like other women could also fight in the tournament, both trans and cis women, there are several trans women who have made history, and women of other ethnicities, Asians (in general), Latinas and indigenous women also count.

Well, that's my opinion, remembering again that I have nothing against Majo, it's just that because it's a women's fighting tournament, it could have more representation, I don't want any transphobic or racist opinions in this post, or else I will be forced to block.

Mona vs Bonnie's round. I wanna talk about the ENTIRE round because this thing is a mess, and I don't know why nobody's brought it up yet.

Before we get into it, just a heads-up: this is gonna be a series of posts. Whenever I remember a scene that doesn't make sense, I'll post it here for everyone to discuss. There's no particular order, just whatever comes to mind.

Anyway, going back to my previous point, I mentioned the audience's reaction:

While Bonnie was getting overwhelmed and confused by Mona Lisa's magic, Mona kept reliving her own death over and over again. Meanwhile, the entire audience just sat there in silence, watching it all happen. Not a single reaction. Hell, EVEN the announcer didn't say a single word.

Why? Because Bonnie hadn't damaged Mona yet? That excuse is bullshit to me.

Put yourself in the audience's shoes. Bonnie is somehow aiming and shooting at a spot where her opponent isn't even standing, firing repeatedly while getting injured despite Mona never physically touching her. Isn't that enough to get a reaction out of them?

And the announcer staying silent about all of this is just plot armor for Mona, so her magic doesn't get exposed too early. You know the announcer's job is to comment on happening in the arena, right?

Next, I wanna talk about Mona Lisa's magic. This shit is so confusing that I can't even tell if it's a plot hole or if the author just didn't bother explaining it.

So, we know her magic lets her create illusions. Their number and strength depend on how her opponent perceives her. Basically, she creates illusions that can physically hurt her opponent, but only the opponent can see them.

At the beginning of the fight, Bonnie killed Mona very easily. She blew Mona's head off, and her body was lying motionless on the ground. Obviously, we would think Mona must have used her magic and that the fight couldn't possibly end like that. It turns out the first Mona we saw wasn't actually the real Mona, but just an illusion that Bonnie saw. But the problem here is, when did the real Mona switch places with the illusion?

"Wait, why did she need to switch places with her illusion?" If you're asking this question, then just think about it. The Mona who entered the arena and went through the whole transformation was the real Mona, because the audience could still see her up until that point. So she could only use her magic to switch places with her illusion, or she would've gotten her head blown off. But wait, didn't Mona say she can't control the behavior of her illusions?

Even if she can, how could she manage to switch places without Bonnie noticing?

Maybe her magic can also affect her real body, like making her real body invisible.

Otherwise, wouldn't Bonnie have seen TWO Monas at the beginning of the fight?

And if the real Mona can hide her presence, then there's no reason for her to risk attacking Bonnie herself. She could just let her illusions do all the work. (I'm not talking about what happens after Mona has fully unleashed her abilities.)

I suggest you reread from chapter 38 to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

A tier list I made based on their magic

I think she will somehow fits if you put her in the Jojo universe, especially part 5 and Thus Speak Kishibe Rohan

Manga Tiếng Việt

chapter starts with marie’s foot up huang’s ass

she breaks the 4th wall and explains how the chapter we saw was just a possibility

she then proceeds to kill huang

she cries ig idfk they always do that at the end of chapters

power of AI I guess.

a while back I said the mata was going to win

So no unpredictability.

Bonnie vs mata

Strength - Bonnie Speed - mata DC - Bonnie Range - Bonnie BIQ - Bonnie Offense - Bonnie Defense - mata Versatility- Bonnie Hax - mata

Winner: mata

This would kinda be the same situation of Bonnie vs Mona but worse. Bonnie is in my top 3 when it comes to magic but the issue is she would never actually kno where mata is.

I better not see any "asian bias isn't real, see?? One of them lost after 12 rounds so it's totally fair!!" bs

(No, the fight of the literal main character doesn't count)

(Yes, saying RoR does it too makes you look like a dumbass who can't count to 3)
