I have this feeling that Yoru's power doesn't work on Denji because he's a hybrid or because she doesn't "own" pochita

By the logic of the doll devil, it seems likely.

But also by the logic of “buying an aquarium as long as I think it’s enough money” I’m not so sure

I think it would be super interesting if it did work on Denji. It would be certainly the kind of curveball this manga likes.

clearly Yoru is going to rip out Denji's spine but he'll be fine. since we already know he can regrow body parts Yoru will be excited for an infinite weapon factory tho

I like how explicit it is that you don’t need to own something to weaponise it, you just need to *feel* like you own it.

So a cat would be the most flexible (automatic sense of ownership over everything) but also weakest (pathologically incapable of feeling guilt) contractor for the war devil.

I knew it wasn't enough money, but that doesn't matter, Denji got to see a penguin! And also another date that ends with the girl trying to kill him., he really can't win for long .

If it does work on Denji, I hope he at least can speak in weapon form.

(making self neurodivergent trying to outdo the speculation in the thread) yoru’s act of transformation is conveyed via the motion of pulling away violently, or ripping. starting a chainsaw requires pulling its ripcord. fujimoto demonstrably homages and pastiches his various film, manga, and literature influences, which can uncharitably be phrased as ripping off. (staring cross-eyed at a note that says “BEYBLADE? SCORPION?”)

People have been saying it for a while, but I'm seriously expecting turning Denji into a sword to work 100%, but he'll survive due to being functionally immortal.

I do also love the idea that it won't work because they only believe they own Denji, and not Pochita.

I do suppose it's a question of what kills hybrids I got the impression that in order to kill Denji Makima had to nullify his contract with Pochita first. Like Quanxi was just a head but she was fine.

I predict one of two responses.

"Knock it off War. I'm talking to Asa."

Or it works perfectly, and then Denji regrows his spine.

It won’t work, because there’s no way Asa thinks she owns Denji at this point. If anything, she thinks Denji owns her.

yeah half the fun of this thread is trying to guess what insanity is next

I did catch that Yoshida was side eyeing Fami. we do need a bigger plot to start kicking in soon. also does school still exist? not the concept I mean we haven't had an update since the building got destroyed

I'm also curious about eyepatch kid. he's been pretty quiet this whole time

I love how angry Eternity got over it

This “emotional logic > hard logic” neatly sums up how rules work in this manga, contrary to how a lot of rules work in other manga. It’s neat! You focus more on what’s going on inside characters’ heads and less on rules lawyering

Question 1 is whether or not this will work

Question 2 is, if it does work, whether or not Denji will pretend to be dead for a while to avoid getting weaponized again or if he'll just pop up like nothing happened (probably after being revived by Yoshida) and accidentally gaslight Asa & Yoru as a consequence
