If you must blink, do it now.
I enjoyed the post earlier where someone said Makima was the equivalent of three cats in a trench coat with a "Fall for my disguise" laser gun who thinks their disguise is foolproof.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
If you've never smoked or even just haven't for a long time you're gonna cough.

Personally I think the symbolism is all in the decision to try it and it not going how she thought it would. Could be about the impulsiveness or the fight itself, but there's a lot of ways it can be read I think.

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
Speaking of Kishibe; I've had a weird theory for a while that has absolutely no bearing on anything, but I can't help but wonder if he's contracted to the future devil. When the future devil is first introduced they mention another devil hunter once gave both of his eyes up for its power, and it's around the same time Kishibe starts training Denji and Power, combined with the fact that he's always drawn with like, dull glassy eyes that I've always kind of taken as an anime signifier of blindness to some degree and the way he's able to avoid Power's attacks coming from behind a door; it's just an arbitrary connection I drew.

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

one of quanxi's fiends who had the power to identify contracts said he just had contracts with the needle, claw, and knife devils.

It's because he's always drunk,not blind.

Yes it's this. He's a high functioning alcoholic with years of experience fighting devils. He anticipated Power's attack because he's probably had a dozen devils ambush him that way.

Sorry if this is old hat but I just binged the manga recently so I’ve missed out on the last few months of this thread

Noticed a neat parallel between Doll Devil, Makima and Quanxi all having a bunch of people in their thrall, one by touch, one by voice and one by pussy whipping

Edit: oh and Doll Devil is able to distribute damage to others like Makima, including consequences for contracts

just to quickly add for the kishibe bit, he definitely puts on a blindfold at one point, and a chapter even ends with him not taking it off because he doesn't want to see anything (iirc it's the mob massacre bit maybe?)

What others said but also one of Quanxi’s fiends uses her analysis power on him and lists his contracts as Knife, Needle, and Claw.

I know people are reading this as Yoshida and Fami side-eyeing each other which is how I initially read it due to framing. In the second frame where we see Yoshida properly he doesn’t seem to be looking up at all, he looks like he’s surveying the aftermath of the fight. I ended up reading it as Fami realising he’s quite dangerous or is an agent of a force that endangers her plans. Though in the first panel it does look more like he’s looking up. Interesting to be sure

Pretty cool little detail: Darkness grows hands whenever it wants, and in this moment, to grab Stone Devil teleporting in behind it, grew a right hand on its left arm, a no look spawn camp weapon hack

I don't think Stone is teleporting in, I think Darkness is doing something much scarier. Based on how that power was used in the department store the user can only blow his petrifying stone smoke from inside the circle. I'm pretty sure Darkness just yanks Stone out via the contract user and kills them both like that, which is for me the creepiest exercise of its power. It really made me :stare: and think "hey wait is that allowed?" when I read it

I love it

Attacks unbound by physical laws, attacks that are based on edict

It was neat when the gun Devil activated its ability and instead of aiming and shooting bullets and relying on the laws of physics to carry the bullets to their targets, it’s simply “1500 people automatically get hit with bullets because I say so”

Devils on Earth who get killed wake up in Hell and vice versa

I forgot who it was, I laughed because a Devil got killed and showed up again days later, meaning everyone in hell hated them too

It was Makima. Nayuta showed up very quickly... which makes how long we've been waiting to see her in part 2 even funnier.

Yeah, Makima got reincarnated back to Earth as Nayuta almost instantly, which makes sense, considering she made enemies out of shitton of Devils, Darkness Devil chiefly amongst them.

I was curious if there was a technicality issue since they weren't on Earth when they died. Like, does it matter more that Beam initially woke up on Earth, or that he was finally killed in Hell? :v:

There could be a fun technically correct spin with an Earth-borne devil being killed in Hell and being reborn on the spot.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
It's probably more likely that Neither Asa nor Denji thinks that Asa 'owns' him yet.

We have mostly just seen Asa falling for Denji
