Man.

Every chapter, Makima looks more and more on the up-and-up. Just the least shady character.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I'd say to enjoy it because we're probably not seeing much more of him any time soon, but...

Makima's been oddly patient with disobedience. Denji's planned to quit twice, she hasn't said anything about it. Angel ignored orders to bring Aki along, and she actually complimented him. Kobeni goes into the fetal position against Bomb, still gets the bonus to buy her new murder weapon. Someone quits, she gives severance pay.

If Makima wasn't so incredibly sketchy, I'd just shrug and call it kindness. If she didn't have so much intel gathering ability, I might assume some of it was just her not knowing.

But with that... well. Makima's interesting. And I suspect she wouldn't kill someone as useful as Kishibe until he actually takes a shot at her.

I reckon she's just competent and not evil for evils sake. Makima wants useful assets. People only working for you because you hold their family/cat/debt hostage doesn't have a great track record.

I wonder if there's an 'obligations' demon...

That Makima doublecross is very surprising, I wonder if it's real of if he's playing Quanxi.


Also I kept wondering what happened with Power because I never saw her take a hit while she was on the ground. So I read that sequence twice trying to find her before continuing only for Power to reveal she took a dive. Power! :argh:


I hope Nice Guy Devil is okay.

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.

He was just crucified and killed. Just add blood and he'll be fine.

Hell yes to this dude going in for round 2 with Quanxi, he’s the lad who Makima brought in before right and who hosed some of the shape shifters?

Also smart move by her throwing Kishibe out the window imo, rather than actually try to beat him which I assume would be hard and take time just end the fight.

Really curious to see him go all out too. Loved the Quanxi girl being like “lol his contracts are pretty weak” and being owned off screen. Really cool that he presumably only has weakfish contracts but is just a beast.

I wonder if what’s behind Denji’s dream door is using the Gun Devil’s power up. We’ve seen devils get stronger due to having bits of the Gun Devil in them. And we saw that Porchita was wounded from gunshots when Dennis found him. So i wonder if what’s behind that door is using the bits of the gun devil inside him (if they’re still there) to have a big power up.

There's just something about Denji's goofy rear end face as he gets horribly crucified that is hilarious to me. He's Wild E Coyate stumbling through every possible death trap and coming out unscathed since he's basically immortal. Gruesomely dying of something mundane like stepping on a nail from a dude playing dead, Beam and Denji's comments "you floating... amazing!", Kishibie nonchalantly glancing at the American dude who fell off the building totalling Kobeni's car, Kobeni's car being totalled, this manga is so morbidly funny. It's like a Tarentino movie. I really hope they are able to get the comedic timings right if they adapt this into an anime

I think it'd be criminally wasted potential for this to not get an anime adaptation down the road. Hopefully Jujutsu Kaisen makes a strong showing, as well.

I...think so? I'm not 100% sure because this chapter was confusing. I guess the whole point of doing it was so they would sacrifice themselves to use the Hell Devil which needs to be done with "free will".

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.

Do you remember how Santa asked for orphans? I guess Tolka's master was one, too. She even called him Grandpa.
The inheritor idea is the most likely.

Those four kids were the orphans, and three got taken.

First, speedscan, so arguments based on exact dialog are questionable. Second, if Denji's inside, he's still locked in with people who want to kill him, and he's sent to Hell, where presumably...

Okay, where Poochita's presumably going to show just why every Devil in the place fears the rev of an engine, but where anyone without that inside information would assume he'd be doomed.

Meanwhile, outside his body's going to have Makima sweeping in soon, and Kishibe's on site already. Any plan to retrieve his corpse would be... difficult. At best.

Pretty sure the woman has been the real Santa the whole time. The way the panels show Tolka and Granpa as being the same makes it clear that they were both "raised" by her.

It also makes more sense as generally women tend to be the real badasses in this manga.

so the official translation's phrasing of the Hell Devil's command has the plan make a lot more sense: send every living thing in the mall to hell

she got tolka to kill denji, dolled him up, and then summoned the hell devil before denji could re-rez, which means that the mall is now probably just a crater with denji's still-dead body awaiting retrieval

meanwhile she can continue to pick off the remaining hunters in hell using tolka as her proxy
