Not everybody. Himeno was just drunk, horny, and very glad in the morning that Denji prevented her from doing anything that might qualify as a felony.

She'd hardly tried to murder him at all earlier, too.

RIP puke girl. Of all the women who engaged in inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior around Denji, you were the one who did the least to intentionally ruin his life.

At least Denji and Power eventually got to the 'consensual exchange of fluids' stage.

pochita’s real form is what we see when he takes over denji’s body, he was diminished when hell worked him over

I can’t find the exact chapter but it mentioned something about devils that get extremely injured change state. I think it’s explicitly mentioned about Pochita, and deeply implied with the war devils weird lil owl.

Someone mentioned earlier about the cold war not existing and yeah, with nukes and poo poo gone, what we know of it doesn't but it's clear that devils are the new nukes since countries don't seem to give a poo poo about signing contracts to use them.

One of my friends has been catching up on the manga. I asked them how far they've gotten.

"Just read chapter 80, Denji asked to be Makima's dog, poo poo's getting weird."

"Ah, you're coming up on a banger of a chapter then."

I'm going to hell.

Muscle devil was funny on reread, forgettable otherwise. I’d love to see it but will be like whatever if they skip it.

E: that chapter is probably the only real skippable chapter because of how tightly plotted CSM is

Denji actually had some hesitation and second thoughts toward Makima when he was dealing with Muscle Devil, and I think it was cool to show that not even Denji at his lowest was desperate enough to swallow Makima's hook without some misgivings, as brief as they were.

I don't think the muscle devil encounter would necessarily eat up that much time, hell you could probably knock it out in the cold open.

On the upside we got more Power. Was expecting the episode to end on her introduction, but we got the part where she kills Sea Cucumber Devil and that owns.

Can't wait for next week.

Interesting, so Yoru can make weapons out of inanimate objects as well? Calling it now, Yoru’s going to weaponise the shoes that Yuko gave her to walk home with.

I feel like this was implied earlier when she turned the justice devil's disembodied hand into a hand grenade, but yeah, Yoru mentioned that she can turn anything she owns into a weapon. She's just fixated on turning people into weapons because, I don't know, maybe better craftsmanship? Or maybe just because she's a devil and enjoys torturing people?

The chapter definitely states that the inanimate objects turn into lovely weapons compared with the power of friendship poo poo

Yoru said in chapter 101 the guiltier you feel about creating the weapon the more powerful it will be. So I imagine turning a family heirloom would also be powerful. As mentioned the shoes could probably be decent.

God drat, Yuko has some pretty messed up views on what counts as "bullying". Denji gets a lot of poo poo (some of it deserved, some not) for not having a strong moral compass, but all things considered there really are way worse people in this world who could have been given chainsaw powers.
