So you think Denji is being legit or just exaggerating? Him saying you'll die as a "worse-case scenario" makes me think it'll actually happen, but I can't get the idea of Denji just hyping up Nayuta whenever out of my head.

All of the rules will just be basic etiquette and manners that Nayuta got sick of Denji not doing. Denji naturally thinks following the rules is pretty much impossible.

It's definitely this, but the threat of death will be very real. "If you walk around the house with muddy shoes like that I'm going to have the dogs eat your legs again," sort of thing.

Demji dies very easily so the stakes are not as high for him, but he doesn't know if that is the same for Asa's case.

Still, he's willing to risk her death for a date.

....why is the Devil Hunter club president spying on them? Stalking Denji is Yoshida's job, don't cramp his style man.

last chapter the president was shocked by asa's power and so he pretty clearly wants to know what's up. like, she demonstrated that she has a devil contract or something, makes sense to keep an eye on her

also, the birds again...

What cartoons were big with Japanese kids in the 90's? It's too early for Pretty Cure (that was in the early 2000s I think), but I'm pretty sure Pokemon had already started airing, Sailor Moon too. There are probably reruns of Doramon and Osomatsu-kun running fairly often, also Shin Chan.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I think Nayuta is going to force her brother and his girlfriend to watch anime with her, Yoru will love it.

Hell is full of those who underestimated Denji's intelligence. (Usually with last thoughts along the lines of "How did that complete moron outsmart me?")

I'm looking forward to finally seeing more than Nayuta's head again (and curious if she's grown much, considering Denji's college comment). Of the current theories, I'm leaning towards Denji having made the ground rules (some pretty normal, some more... Denji, and possibly some relating to Makima-related baggage) and then them kind of shifting over time to have increasingly lethal consequences.

It's also nice to know Denji has a VCR and the money to go to the movies. Seems his scamming and hustling is "Nayuta needs college money and also I am used to being very poor" rather than "I do not know where my next meal is coming from".

Asa always being on the wrong side of whatever technology war is currently happening feels extremely in character for her.

In a few years she's going to be VERY passionate about the Zune.

In end of Eva Shinji was unresponsive in a doom spiral so she tried to appeal to his teenage hormones by being all "ooh ill smooch ya and we can do more when you get back but please god get in the robot" mostly to keep him from getting shot in the head by soldiers.


In the series she just likes teasing everyone, and he's easy to tease.

2000 yen is about 20 dollars, so if that price is per person that's 40 dollars for them both to watch mummy movies all night, not counting food and drinks (which you're going to want if you're there all night, that's how they get ya).

I think I agree with Asa here. It sounds like a fun time, but that price is way too high for two students without jobs or parents, and Denji is trying to save money.

Steve Yun posted:

Misato has extremely deep-to-the-core intimacy issues from PTSD due to A) directly living through the apocalypse from a front row seat and B) watching her dad die saving her life after spending her whole childhood convinced he didn’t give a poo poo about her. These compounded to put her in a situation where she deliberately uses sexuality as a shield to protect her emotional vulnerabilities, and especially adopting a hyper-sexual behavior to limit how much people get emotionally invested in her. She’s also a severely debilitated alcoholic who was probably going to die of liver failure before 40 if SEELE hadn’t got to her first. The end result is that by the time of the TV series she flirts with literally everyone regardless of appropriateness and, by EoE, she’s been so emotionally broken down by kaji’s death, ritsuko’s betrayal, and the general collapse of the overall situation that all of her coping mechanisms have fallen apart and “I am going to bribe this child with sexual favors” is all she can think of because that’s all she’s got left.
