Gotta agree with the feeling than the 'goddess' arc was the original end for the series, I still have to recognize Wakaki's writing skills since the retcons introduced these last chapters made sense and doesn't feel like an asspull (too much at least). Since Urara's capture was made to write Deus Ex Granpa on the story, I'm hoping than Kaori's will have a good payoff.

Clarste posted:I did like that part, but it doesn't make the rest of the arc retroactively better. No doubt about it, since the story was pretty good before I'm blaming editors for this messed-up pacing. Maybe I'm just being optimist but it kind of feel like a transition stage while it sets a new overarching plot. The manga is enjoyable but definitly is losing steam.

Lune totally deserved that Hopefully this doesn't becomes an obstacle for Dokuro's tearful reunion with her beloved oniichan

cafel posted:No, I'm pretty sure that the series is shifting gears and every chapter we'll have several grisly deaths of long time established characters. Expect Keima to go in the next chapter. Nah guys you're only hosed if you're Vintage or Satyr, Dokkaido doesn't gently caress around. Still I really liked this chapter since it finally something happened and is pretty obvious we're in the endgame of this arc, I do have the feeling than we're getting a push to the reset button and Lune will be around longer though. gently caress Lune

CuddlyZombie posted:I'm pretty sure he can't do anything bad enough to open up a gap in her heart, though, since Chihiro doesn't have one at the start of the series. He can 'seduce' her to allow for her future gap to appear or plant the seeds for her inferiority complex though. In either case, Chihiro ALWAYS get the short end of the stick when Keima's involved

Keima's letter is really sweet (and I wonder what was adressed to Tenri ), seeing Tsukiyo's mom really tugged at my heartstrings Is also fantastic than the arc is finally coming to an end but I wouldn't mind if things were to speed up a little.

Zogundar posted:So based on this page it looks like the latest Volumes have been averaging about 11 Chapters each. If we assume the next 11 Chapters not listed in a volume form Volume 25, that means there are.. 3 Chapters left. Are you kidding me? THREE chapters? Goddamit Wakaki, god-loving-dammit. So much for a good ending then

Einander posted:It's not too complicated to end things in three chapters, really. I mean, remember how the Goddess arc ended. Now, like then, Keima's job is to set things up, step back, and then let it all work out. All of the stuff with Satyr and the underlying social structure of Hell? That's someone else's problem. So what's left for Keima? Welp, you were right But you know Wakaki will either pull a massive asspull to end the series next chapter or it really will branch on a spin-off. I thinking it will be the latter given this chapter ending Also Kanon/Apollo finally lost it

Allarion posted:Her full name is Elucia de Lute Ima though, so it's kinda a stretch. I assume the reason Keima was suspicious was due to the fact that he had basically caused the events of the future to happened himself, the one odd exception was the choice of Elsie, which basically up to this point probably raises a red flag in his mind given how everything else has been connected. Could have been foreshadowed better though but it kind of makes sense in a gamey kind of way. Now than you mention it, how exactly Elsie ended on the past in the first place? I thought than the goddess only sended Keima. Edit ^Fake memories? it still needs to be a really long con since Haqua met Elsie on school Dark_Tzitzimine fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Apr 4, 2014 |

I feel like a 'not enterely-retcon' is coming. And also, on a second reading is clear than Elsie did existed and she was indeed an orphan, Dokuro got the drop on everyone by reincarnanting the 'ultimate weapon' as Elsie long before everything started plotting.

Reading on the internet I've found two theories about this twist: *Elsie is Demeter *Elsie is the giant than trashed the boat And according to Wakaki's blog, he's ending the series on his terms since people wanted for him to continue.

Now that I actually thought a little about this chapter Kind of a dick move towards Tenri, she waited ten loving years and was instrumental for everything to happen and this girl who knows Keima for a year tops, is the true heroine

Clarste posted:Depends on what he wrote to her in the letter, doesn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if he told her his true feelings towards Chihiro and let her down gently from the very beginning. She's always been characterized as not really trying to win, much to the annoyance of Diana. Super Jay Mann posted:I'm willing to bet he explained how he felt in that letter, so she knew all along. That could also explain why she never even attempted to make a move even though she clearly liked him. Maybe... Wakaki should've used an Elsie ex Machina to clone Keima and so gave every girl a happy ending

Wakaki shoud've fully embraced the Elsie Ex Machina so: Hell's closed, the goddess are sent back to heaven and rewrite everyone memories so no one else aside of Chihiro and Dokaido remember Keima.

Dexo posted:She was the only non goddess, if Keima's lesson was going to be related to living in the "real world" The only option is the normal one. A real world where demons and goddesses walk among mankind But seriously, the thing what happened with Chihiro is something that happens to everyone she would've gotten better eventually. Tenri has to live now with a goddess inside her as a permament memento of her failed first love. Dick move. Dark_Tzitzimine fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Apr 19, 2014 |

Boogaleeboo posted:Keima is incredibly intelligent and understands it's better for people to have a clean break rather than false hope. He should've crushed 7 year-old Tenri hopes then or at least he should've told her personally. And discounting how much of an rear end in a top hat Keima is there's a lot of problems with the ending itself: - Why keep the goddesses on earth? (and that's if Diana wasn't the only one that stayed as an ultimate gently caress you to Tenri) - What's gonna happen with Dokaido now? - Urara and Kaori plots were a total waste of time - The whole Ellie Deus Ex Machina thing - Why Haqua and Nora are still on earth if the runaway squad went kaput - How the gently caress is New Hell gonna work now... gently caress, and I really liked this series
