It's a shame all that information about the Fox Devil not working on humans that can go devil wasn't spread around but what can you do?

I'm the Initiative Devil. All powerful as long as people live in fear me, but completely powerless once you finally get up the energy to challenge me.

Also Bomb Devil is wonderful and I'm going to miss her when she gets chainsawed.

All you need is some blood and a tug on her cord and she'll be fine even if she was bisected.

I think the only limit on regeneration is being intact enough to pull your cord when you get wrecked. Like when Denji fought the Eternity Devil for...X days constantly getting ripped apart but regenerating through it.

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

Kobeni strikes again.

The American dude did well to survive falling out a building like that since he didn't even get a chance to slow his fall. Gonna guess he's gone for the rest of the arc until Makima's betrayal happens and he's revealed again.

Huh. So the person we thought of as Santa was another "elaborate" puppet like Tolka got turned into. The real "Santa" is Tolka's master. Or perhaps Tolka's master is the inheritor. Whatever. Neat twist.

Wonder if Denji is there too? Not sure about the wording due to the speed scan but he's not really a living being since he uh kind of died

Probably not given how deliberate the command seemed to be.

Thinking about it, there's still a few people outside of the building because of Quanxi though. American Hunter should be the worst off but he actually doesn't seem that hurt despite falling on a car.

Glad Darkness Devil is merciful enough to disarm its opponents instead of killing them.

Also...Denji is in hell. Fell on the wrong side of that argument.

Sorry for doubting your friendship with Kobeni Violence Devil.

Unless...Angel Devil was right about dying in hell sending devils back to the real world. Or is it only whatever chainsaw sound deaths that get revival?

People call Denji stupid but he keeps winning. Maybe he's actually a genius. Give the man some glasses.

So that's pretty much the end of the plot against Makima. The world's top devil hunters are either dead or permanently incapacitated aside from Kishibe.

Hypocrisy
Oct 4, 2006
Lord of Sarcasm

Personally, any line of thinking that relies on Makima caring about Denji is a non-starter. Like Octopus Boy laid it out, Makima surrounded Denji with a bunch of third rate protectors against the top assassins of the world. She doesn't give a drat about Denji getting wrecked (and it's all fixable with some blood).

On that note though, I kind of assumed that Makima knew how to permanently take down hybrids. Is Reze actually still alive?

Well, I've been on the Makima bad side since Reze but beyond that...Makima doesn't need a dog without fangs.

Maybe a devil of love? Or something to do with manipulating affection to gain control? Assuming that making AKi and Denji fall for her had any purpose beyond general manipulation.

Unrelated to this chapter but assuming we can trust Makima, who sent Katana and Snake after Denji? The Soviets?

Foolish gun devil, Makima already shrugged off a headshot earlier.

I think the gun devil got wrecked. That 20% is back to the scrap heap.

Makima's powers work on humans and dead humans. They also work on devils. Therefore, they can probably work on fiends too!

My guess Makima's plan to save humanity is to turn everyone into her ideal Denji, unthinking and obedient. A mankind without fear can be free of devils!

Jerkface posted:

I don't think they work on humans the way she can work on devils and fiends. She straight up commands Angel in his home town. She clearly has control over Power and the other fiends, but can't get the same obedience from humans. Aki had to agree to give her everything.

Makima ordered Aki to accept that contract. He did not do it of his free will.
