This presents a big problem then. Killing the gun devil will send it to Hell, and since it’s so strong it’ll probably kill a bunch of devils there and send them back to Earth. Unless they don’t retain their former strength and have to build it up from scratch.

Presumably, Makima has a plan for that.

Possibly Hell doesn't have the fear buffs, which would make the Gun Devil much less powerful. But even if it was still able to kill anything in Hell, and even if Makima doesn't have a plan for preventing it from just running wild, then the things the Gun sends up are going to be much less trouble than the Gun itself.

Meanwhile, Denji demonstrates the levels of emotional resilience I expected.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
so the gun devil wants to keep devils in hell or else it would just have denji killed? maybe? if it was trying to kill pochi then maybe not?

The Chinese devils suddenly swooping in as contenders for best. Blood, Donuts, Halloween and ... what more could one want?

I wonder what they're all devils of? Halloween is probably Halloween, given how much she enjoys saying it... Blood could be another blood devil like Power, she's got the same horns. Donuts' hair could be an eel, or maybe a question-mark. Devil of the unknown? Silence looks like a frankenstein, so could be a devil of monsters, or maybe of corpses or zombies. Death Itself is probably a much bigger deal fear.

Death devil has to be in a whole other league of strength, that should really wait for the endgame of the manga.

Sad to lose Reze, but looking forward to wild assassins all gunning for Denji!

I'm now fully expecting whatever's behind Makima's powers to be absolutely insane when it's revealed, like crazier than anything suggested in the thread so far.

I like how the varied the levels of sympathy you feel for these poor dumb bastards going against Makima on her home turf are.

You got the hunter, who's got some sociopathic detachment, but his goal is to just give his mentor a happy ending to her life. He wants something good and reasonable, even if how he's going about it is going to go bad.

You've got the Chinese hunter, who wants to get her girls the same human rights that Power seems to enjoy. The intro panel is something that usually comes with a character being a massive sleazy piece of poo poo, but right now it seems like she really does care for the fiends.

The Americans are just in it for the money.

And evil Santa is already awful. He'll probably get worse.

You got everything from possible tearjerkers to just rooting for Makima to get creative.

makima probably knows some of these peoples names through intel (unless that devil has some unique limitations), or else they're codenames only. in that case she can't just squish them

Yeah that was kind of disappointing. The series has pulled this so many times the only surprising part was it happening literally one page after their introduction.

I think the only time it failed is with Makima but every time I expect the victim to get up in the background and be like “drat that hurt”
