**** Yeah to me it reads like ongoing vs. temporary effects. Turning a head into a lizard or a mushroom is magic that's maintaining a thing in a magically unnatural state that could not be sustained otherwise (a mushroom is not a suitable substitute for a head). But some magical effects are a sort of self contained event, e.g. Fujita throwing a ball fast using magic, that wouldn't become undone after he dies because it's already happened, presumably time manipulation doesn't revert after death of the time magician. I assume Noi's healing is an event more than a maintained effect, her magic repairs damage and then it's done, it's not *maintaining* anything once you're healed so there's nothing to dispel. Grim implications for En's mushrooms though, you can only properly revert someone if you have all the mushrooms there but...does that mean a bunch of random body parts turned up all over the manor? Actually y'know what that's probably kinda normal there.

** Kawajiri's magic also involved clairvoyance to see where you're going which isn't a normal ability and was actually probably the more impressive part of the whole thing. Plus, as far as we know yeah, doors within the same dimension aren't a thing you can do (no one would use brooms otherwise) and you can be blocked or followed when it comes to doors. His teleporting is actually pretty OP.

** The new artbook that came out after the anime aired it's called "Dorohedoro Artworks MUD AND SLUDGE", so yeah, it's read Doro Hedoro.

*** En's mushrooms actually disappeared when he died (the ones in Chota's face). But as for the healing magic, I would say it could work by stimulating the healing factor and making the body heal itself, thus regeneration would be independant of the smoke's origin.

* Noi has actually died for a few minutes numerous times and nothing like that ever happened. It can be assumed that this kind of stuff happens when the Devil Shaped Tumor is destroyed, severely damaged, dies of starvation when it's magic user host dies or is taken out of the body (vide En's mushrooms rotting even if Kai preserved the Tumor and became it's new host.

** Kawajiri's magic was just Teleportation in the same world, while doors were used to cross between worlds.

** Some doors have a set location, specifically the ones in En's manor that are constantly guarded. Asu's power is quick and can be used in battle to catch his opponents off guard whereas doors are an emergency getaway. Not to mention it's Asu's power that [[spoiler: allows Kai to get into the heavily guarded wing of the manor and kill En.]]

** Maybe the thing with magic reverting isn't reverting, but instead "going back to normal", in other words, only magic that change's the subject's normal structure is prone to disappear upon death, so Noi's, Nikaido's and Kikurage's magics are all out. Similarly, don't think there were any scenes of En's mushrooms going back to being people; so maybe it's not as much as "going back to normal", but instead "going back to a stable state", as so far (and as far as I can remember) the only magic shown to revert has been unstable magic that only changed part of the victim's body.

* When Shin exterminated the Hole's anti-magic militia, why did no one form a new one after he disappeared? Even Kaiman and Nikaido could do that.

* Anything a Magic User does with magic cancels as they die, right? Does this apply to their (unused and stored) smoke as well? It seems like it must, otherwise Dokuga would have been left with useless smoke after he killed the healers. To be fair, it could be that they were just guarding the smoke, which came from others in their guild, but it seems unlikely that none of the smoke came from them (they were guild members who presumably specialized in healing magic). Also, FridgeHorror: If Noi dies, does every wound she healed except for ones caused by someone else's magic come back? Sure, she'd already be dead so it wouldn't really matter for her, but Ebisu would basically disintegrate, no? Or is healing magic, like curse magic, exempt from NoOntologicalInertia?

* When you think about it, Asu/Kawajiri's magic does not make any sense at all. Every other moderately powerful magic user could do the same by summoning a door - even Ebisu could do it!
