Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga reached its end in September 2024, leaving fans with mixed emotions. The series takes place in a world where negative emotions manifest as curses that threaten humanity.
Among its characters, Satoru Gojo has risen as one of the most popular in recent years. Fans are impressed by his striking appearance, magnetic charisma, unwavering care for his students, and, above all, his confident and commanding demeanor. As the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, Gojo exudes dominance, effortlessly overpowering his enemies.
However, his strength is not infallible, as he falls victim to Kenjaku’s meticulous planning and is sealed in the Prison Realm. After a three-year absence in the manga, Gojo makes a triumphant return and engages in what is widely regarded as the series’ best battle: the clash of the strongest.
Gojo meets a controversial and tragic end in Chapter 236, sparking global outrage among fans. While Gojo enthusiasts mourn the loss of their beloved character, they may find solace in Desscaras from Shonen Jump’s Ichi the Witch.
Despite having only 18 chapters so far, the series has amassed a significant fanbase thanks to its distinctive world-building, compelling characters, and thrilling action sequences. While the main character of Ichi the Witch is already well-loved, Desscaras, the Abyssal Witch, has stolen the spotlight with her stunning beauty and overwhelming power.
Ichi the Witch’s Desscaras: The New Shonen Sensation Comparable to Jujutsu Kaisen’s Gojo
Desscaras has been a fan-favorite since the serialization of Ichi the Witch began, but her popularity soared after Chapter 18, titled “Desscaras the Abyssal Witch.” In this chapter, Desscaras solidifies her reputation as the strongest witch alive.
Facing off against a formidable Majik, she effortlessly overwhelms her opponent, demonstrating her superior strength and advanced techniques.

Her calm, confident demeanor underscores her dominance, as she mocks Majik while delivering devastating attacks. This demeanor bears a striking resemblance to Gojo’s personality, a similarity fans have quickly noticed. Additionally, the chapter delves into Desscaras’s enigmatic past and her connection to the abyss, adding layers of intrigue to her character.
The chapter concludes with Desscaras delivering a cryptic warning about an even greater threat looming over the world before vanishing, leaving both the protagonists and readers stunned and eager for what lies ahead.
Desscaras: A Modern Parallel to Satoru Gojo
Desscaras’s title, immense strength, unshakable confidence, and tendency to look down on her opponents invite inevitable comparisons to Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. Both characters exude a unique charm and charisma that make them instant fan favorites. Desscaras’s striking light-yellow eyes captivate readers much like Gojo’s iconic sky-blue eyes.
What makes Desscaras particularly refreshing is her role as a dominant female character in a Shonen series, standing out as a powerful presence that overshadows other major characters. Fans have already begun referring to her as the “new-gen Gojo,” a title she has undeniably earned.
While Ichi the Witch shares little in common with Jujutsu Kaisen in terms of story, its excellent characters and unique genre make it a must-read for fans looking for something fresh.
The first volume of Ichi the Witch was released in Japan on January 4, 2025, though its English version has yet to be announced. Fans can expect a wait of a few months for the English release. In the meantime, readers can catch up on Ichi the Witch through Manga Plus and Viz, the official platforms for all Shonen Jump series.
