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.

Insane chapter

Seems like Tolka’s master is the real Santa and old man was a doll. Inheriting doesn’t seem right to me.

it also matches the old man's request - she needs kids to call down the Hell Devil so she wanted to restock her supply after this was all over

she probably uses the surviving one as another "apprentice," which calls her age into question, but this lady's so packed with devil mojo i wouldn't be surprised if the grim reaper's scared to go near her

This was an appropriately "what the heck" first appearance for a Hell devil.

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

Except that way, Kishibe, Yoshida, and Makima are in position for the save.

That seems a very questionable plan. In fact, as a general policy, any plan that puts your mission at a higher risk of Makima is a bad plan.

Meanwhile, if Denji is in Hell, his three most powerful defenders are off the table for now.

Not saying it's impossible for that to be how it goes, but... seems odd.

My next question is. Is she working for the USSR as Tolka's master or is she working for the Germans as the "real Santa". Both? Neither?

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.

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.

Oh wow I was kinda expecting primal fear devils above Gun but wasn't expecting them soon. And goddamn that is is some trippy metal poo poo.

Got a pet theory given Makima's thing with rats she's connected to the plague/disease/filth devil who'd probably also be in that weight class.

makima's definitely running multiple contracts, my money's still on the Heights Devil as the one who helped her kill sawatari's boys

In light of the current circumstances, I just can't stop thinking about the line from an earlier chapter, "the last thing you hear in Hell is a chainsaw."

I get the feeling that bringing Denji to Hell is a really bad idea. For everyone.

And I can't fuckin' wait :unsmigghh:

I saw someone theorize she was running two devils for that one alone. Every other hand sign we see is one handed. Meanwhile, that one had two. It would also explain a little more about the blindfolds. Even if people didn't know what devils the signs matched, seeing a pair combined like that would ...suggest things.

As for her overall deal, I'd bet money on her being a hybrid like Denji and Reze. If she was a fiend, there'd be a sign looking at her head. Even if she was a devil of humanity or something, she couldn't contract.

But if she's a hybrid? Well, then you got immortality to cover the train incident, and you also have her emotional responses to the movies matching Denji's explained neat as neat. And if she's got something nasty, it explains why she's able to so easily dragoon high level devils into her employment.

In summary: Makima is terrifying.

Makima hasn't even appeared in the last few chapters but every week i'm left thinking "drat, Makima seems so cool. What's her deal!?!"

Can't wait for her fight against true Santa.

Its probably behind the door he sees in his dreams, it fits with the hell motif weve seen where devils are behind doors.
