Sleep, rest, do your best.
It is entirely feasible that the holiday of Halloween ends up holding some level of significance to the story or Devils. It’s also possible that Halloween is just real cool. It also may be seen in Japan as this weird confusing western thing that a lot of people just don’t get.

To first understand this, you have to gather all of the universe's knowledge into your head, and only then will you truly understand.


Better get cracking on that.

I wonder if there's an actual Halloween Devil out there that's bummed that Cosmo is stealing their thunder.

Either that or they're friends and Halloween enjoys the free publicity Cosmo is giving them.

In return the Halloween Devil is always warning people to beware of the power of the cosmos.

The true secret of the Cosmos Devil is that there is no 'matter'. It's devils. No quarks, no baryons. It's devils all the way down. Everything is devils. Everything is Halloween.

Halloween.

God, the Darkness Devil ruled so much. Completely incomprehensible. You might hear a noise, you might see the aftermath, but you have no idea what happened. Because it all happened in the dark.

You cannot grasp the true form of the Darkness Devil's attack.

Yup. One of the scariest things about the dark is you have no idea what's going on when you're in it.

Iirc, one of the many, many tomes of knowledge pictured in that scene is a book that says You Will Only Think Of Halloween Until You Die or something like that, which presumably is like a forced effect.
