Reze is great. I also love how the VIOLENCE devil is one of the most mindful people in the manga so far.
Always careful and thinking of others.

That's cause he's always high as a kite. When they said they use poison to constantly weaken the violence devil, you know they really meant all the drugs.

As hilarious as those two scenes were, I really enjoyed the part where Angel comforts the dying civilian. Earlier he said something about how he was a Devil first and Angel second, thus believing humans should suffer before dying, and seeing him kiss the dying person's hand felt really sweet and contradictory (in a satisfying way).

This chapter did something weird with the devilman powers.
I can get Reze flying around, explosions will move your body. The spiderman chainsaw I can suspend my disbelief easy enough.
But Katana guy apparently teleported by Iai...like how does that work? Does he wield himself? :psyduck:
I just assumed the dude was well trained and smart and thus was able to move very very fast.



Official translation reads like the translator enjoyed the chapter as well.

Man I can't wait for next chapter. :suspense:

It's just based on the anime trope of "iai" being "someone sheathing their weapon, standing still, then slashing while teleporting 10 meters having cut everything in front of them". Considering devil powers are based on the collective unconscious of society, I can suspend my disbelief for a Katana Devil being able to do a Katana Trick. Plus, even Denji finds a problem with that, because he thinks it's overpowered!

In my book it's on the same level as Eternity/Infinity being able to trap people in a time-locked bubble that's a 1:1 recreation of a single hotel floor. Devils just do crazy poo poo, cuz devils.

Well, it is Denji. His ability to just get over things is outright disturbing.

And, as we've learned before, half devils take a lot of killing. Much easier to bring them in alive after a few rounds of maiming.

I wasn't sure how to take the two months. Is that from his natural lifespan, or what he has left? The latter doesn't make much sense, but the former has the dramatic tension of a wet fart.

I like the little interactions in CSM. The characters have a pleasant natural feeling to them. The Violence Fiend (woop woop) being totally level headed is nice.

It's the latter because it reinforces Aki is just continuously shaving his life away.

Latter.

Whatever mechanism the Curse Demon uses to take life, the Angel Demon does the same thing. So, Aki just lost 2 months of his remaining 24.

Meanwhile, Denji's too stupid to die.

Phrasing this is super weird since we're talking about predestination but I mean the former IS the 24. What future implied (in my reading) is he had some horrific fate coming up before that. Unless we're meant to take the reduction in lifespan as advancing his fate but that, like I said, kinda stops making sense.

Also I just realized Beam swallowed Denji mid-air to protect him.

How the gently caress does the author manga to make a devil living in the corpse of a human that is the embodiment of the fear of sharks an endearing character?

This is also the manga where the most reasonable, practical minded character is a human corpse combined with the incarnation of humanity's fear of violence.

Didn't they say that Aki's cursed sword was one of the ones created by the Angel Demon? COuld be misrememebring, really need to reread.

No it’s made by the Curse Demon. He specifically asks it how much time he has left after he uses it

I enjoy the trend of my favourite idiot son Denji continuously finding ways to outwit his foes.

Also, i'm glad Reze didn't die. Bomb should be a cool reoccurring villain.

I'm not even sure she's going to be a recurring villain. Like, at this point, she and Denji are in a very odd spot, and even if Denji doesn't ditch with her, (Unlikely, but with Fujimoto you never know...) it's not a guarantee that she'd be on the opposite side. After all, she just left Chainsaw behind despite him being her target. She's probably not going to be on the best terms with her handlers.

And on Denji's end, there's Makima. Who I do not feel confident in predicting.

Aki and Denji neck and neck for purest boys. Also about Aki's weapon this is what I was thinking of



Is there a different chapter where they talk about aki's weapon coming from a different demon? This could just be a new sword then hence my mistkae

Aki showed up to kill Zombies with a new Katana. I assume that is the Angel Devil's weapon.
