Ch 84 doesn't make sense
Before I get into it, this is something that could be resolved in the next 5 chapters, but I don't really see any indication towards that hence I'm making this post.
Why is everyone acting like they stopped the leech?? One thing earlier chapters hammered home is the fact that reversing time does not stop fate, it's just a slight delay. What's happened has happened. So, by that logic, the boy would eventually explode and get eaten by the leech, which will become giant again.
Saved?? You mean temporarily stopped their injuries right?
So, unless there's something Shirahama is hiding from us, this entire situation is very much going to the plothole direction.
Yes, it's a monthly manga, and we have to wait for another chapter. But, based on what we have, this makes 0 sense. And no one is commenting on that idea.
Literally all these experienced witches are acting like the day has been saved, but it hasn't, it's only been delayed by, at most, a day. No one has said "Now we gotta hurry to evacuate the people because we only have 24hrs".
Cause now people are removing their bandages thinking they're alright, when the injuries will be back within 24 hrs but this time without bandages to stop the bleeding.
If this is indeed the end of the leech, not only is it anticlimactic, but it's a plot hole because this spell and its consequences were mostly introduced in this arc. It was a major focus, and now we're gonna ignore the consequences?
Am I missing something? Did I miss a page of explanation?
I personally hope this isn't something that's glossed over and is something that will be used to hammer in the dangers of magic. But I am worried that not even Quifrey, the person who told Coco about the spell, or the 3 wise ones have said anything.
And one more question, why is the guy who was absorbed alive? He had a spell cast on him, if the counterclock spell was cast on the leech, shouldn't it separate the leech and the liquid form of the guy?? The spell wasn't cast on the guy himself.
That's like casting the spell on the bottle and then the ink turns back to the ingredients. Like no, the spell was cast on the bottle to remove the ink. Idk, I just think we need more explanation because nothing makes sense to me.
