Mr.Unique-Name posted:It occurs to me they haven't really mentioned devils formed out of primal fears, have they? Like a lot people are really afraid of weapons and forces of nature and sharks and blood, but effectively every human is afraid of the unknown and death and I'd think darkness would rank pretty high too. Speculation Makimas gotta be contracted with the Devil of Heights, right? She splatted everyone and needed to be up high to use it

Meme Emulator posted:Speculation Makimas gotta be contracted with the Devil of Heights, right? She splatted everyone and needed to be up high to use it Plausible enough. Of course, it's possible to be contracted with multiple devils at once. Aki did it, and it's not treated like a unique state of affairs. Might be worth laying out some of what we know, for posterity. First off, what we can eliminate, as long as Fujimoto is playing fair. Makima isn't a fiend like Power or Beam because she's got a normal person head. Fiends have some aspect of their faces that's a dead giveaway according to chapter four, so Makima would be rumbled pretty quick. Further, if she really does have a contract as she indicated in the temple scene, rather than just lying to cover up her real methods, then she can't be a Devil, since only humans can make contracts. The bit acts like a contract too, with payment for service rather than innate ability only limited by blood. She's also not the Gun Devil, despite some paranoid theories, since she can pick up its parts with her bare hands without them sticking, and because they aren't leading to her. All simple enough. Now that’s done, we can move onto the positives. She’s got odd eyes, but those could come from a contract as easily as anything else. Snake Devil girl had Snake Eyes, and she was a contractor. But contracts don’t let you return from the dead when you get a little blood on you. And Makima’s known contract requires a lot of setup. Setup she didn’t have when going through the train like the wrath of an angry god. (It’s unclear if she restricted herself to the culprits or went for a clean sweep. Knowing what we know of Makima, both seem plausible.) She’s got similar emotional reactions to Denji, which seems to be common to, well, people like Denji. (Also Reze, apparently. She’s sorry for having to kill Denji, and doesn’t go to massacre as a first solution, but she has no real problem with just icing everyone.) Best bet right now seems to be that she’s covertly like Denji and Reze, but with some contracts on top. As for her agenda… well, the strongest negative emotional response we’ve seen from her talking to people was when the old hunter said he was getting tired of training Denji and Power. Combined with her whole helping Denji through his emotional crises, she probably really likes him, especially when her bosses chide her for it. At the same time, the moment that makes Kishibe want to stop is seeing how gung ho for Makima Denji is. Apparently, that sort of thing and death aren’t exactly distant. Makima also smiles when Kishibe calls her on her PR bullshit excuse of “For the good of everyone!” when he brings up her letting most of her team get murdered. So, that’s really reassuring. Weirdest theory I’ve seen says that she’s got a connection to the afterlife somehow because of her movie habit, since movie theaters were tied to the afterlife in Fire Punch. Which… doesn’t actually feel entirely crazy with Makima’s other abilities.

Might be worth laying out some of what we know, for posterity. Adding to that. So far it seems Makima needs a sacrifice to use her powers. And the sacrifice needs to say the name of her target. It's currently unclear if she always has to sacrifice others or if she uses others so she can keep living. Her eyes are weird concentric circles. I wonder if they're somehow related to her power. Maybe it's the depth demon or something. If it's related to depths, saying the targets name could be like an echo effect.

I figured Makima was contracted with the (speculation) Sacrifice Devil, i.e. people's fear that they're going to be sacrificed by powerful entities (governments, mostly, but cults sometimes) pursuing abstract, inscrutable goals, which don't give a poo poo about the people they sacrifice except as fodder. Like... "fear of being killed for the greater good, which doesn't even give you a chance to object or flee because killing you is the Right Thing To Do."

Guys, I think we're all discounting the SLEEP PARALYSIS DEVIL, the real OG of the block.

Nah, he's actually really weak because whenever he does anything it gets blamed on other devils, like Succubus Devil and Slender Man Devil.

Elfface posted:Nah, he's actually really weak because whenever he does anything it gets blamed on other devils, like Succubus Devil and Slender Man Devil. Was just thinking this lol. Every time I hear sleep paralysis invoked it's "Okay I know what sleep paralysis is and I know how many ghost stories are just that but *goes on to describe a textbook example of sleep paralysis* you can't explain that!" Amazing chapter. God I am so stressed for Aki all the time, he's too pure for this world. Wonder if in anyway he'll rub off on Angel. I am assuming Bomb is like Sword and Chainsaw and Reze is the real danger rather than the Bomb Devil. Like she's in the driver seat.

That scene at the car was straight up horror movie material. That smile she gave looked straight out of Alien. Also obligatory Reze is good at giving head pun

Lol ya, they've been badly owned twice now by successfully eating an enemy only for Kon to be like gently caress this. Please be safe Aki. Wonderful chapter, the Bomb Devil rules. Maybe we'll see Angel fight

The fox demon being unreliable fits its fickle and superficial personality. After all, it only lends its head to pretty boys like Aki and that player vice captain, seems natural it dips the moment things get tough

The average devil hunter is just the Chainsaw Man equivalent to the Anbu in Naruto. They exist to have a mildly intriguing gimmick and to make the current enemy look strong.

"Everyone is always asking, who's a good Chainsaw Man. Never how's the Chainsaw Man?" I loving love the violence devil just yeeting it outta there the second things looked bad. He's definitely not a good boy like Beam.
