Tongari Boushi no Atelier Chapter 79 Discussion

Hard to pick who's right at the situation but we know Coco's gonna win anyway.

@MegamiRem
No, it isn't. That guy is basically a fanatic who is willing to sacrifice a entire city just to protect a broken system that has showed time and time again how full of flaws it is. Is impossible to argue with people like this.

@gabrielloki No he isn't. Reread the manga to remember why the forbidden magic are forbidden in the first place.

@MegamiRem
I know there is a very understandable reason for why they made the pact and all that. But is undeniably obvious that this guy is being framed as the wrong one in this scene. The story has already give many clues that the current system that governs the world of witches is, at very least, quite sketchy if not completely messed up. That doesn't mean the people who work for it are evil or even ill intended necessarily, but someone like this dude, who isn't even willing to see a fraction of nuance in it are completely out of their mind. He's been indoctrinated into thinking the pact is absolute and anyone who even dares to question it should be punished immediately and have is memories erased (witch is a form of mind control). I don't know about you, but I find that quite dystopian.

@gabrielloki You could say the same for Coco then. Who doesn't want to listen to what these guys think and is stuck up on changing the rules for reasons she believes is right and that she's in the right.
