Stay safe yall <3

Were the Mizune even in the last arc of the manga? I know we see the family far away flying behind Eruka and Free at Kid’s ascension ceremony, but was that really all they did in the last arc? Or am I missing something? 

I have avoided imagining this scenario, as I can’t imagine it ending well. Unless we get some “truth and reconciliation commission” on this, I can’t see how someone in an official capacity in the DWMA doesn’t piece together, “We saw how Medusa used her snake on Marie, Medusa dies and along with her the snakes, we had Eruka captured and could have heard it from her, then the DWMA is now working with the Witches, Mabaa is going to be curious what they found out about Medusa’s snakes, someone is going to let it slip or have the intelligence leak, and then the Mizune are going to find out.” 

Some of this is the missed opportunity of knowing what the other Mizune thought of Medusa. We know one of them was on Eruka’s side and opposed Medusa--so, was it only Eruka’s lie that convinced the other Mizune to work with Medusa, or were they actually more amenable to Medusa than their one sister was, and it’s what got that sister killed? 

In other words, maybe they won’t be happy that Medusa killed one of their sisters--but they also would say, “The DWMA was worse, so we still would have attacked them.” 

Except, again, that direct assault on the DWMA was considered verboten by other witches, it was just Medusa who was mad enough to risk it. It’s not unbelievable that there were “radical” witches who would ignore Mabaa and be willing to attack the DWMA directly: see that one audio drama about the witch Sofia.
