"Is that your final dandy?"
My guess/hope is that both Denji and Asa lose to the Falling Devil and end up in Hell.

Because guess who's in Hell right now?

I want this to be true so bad. I want Asa to reach a feral Power through the power of cats.

The chapter makes a point to linger on the Falling Devil undressing its victims before adding them into its body, and then get “embarrassed”that it’s naked leading to the chef outfit. Huh, Don’t know how to interpret that

There is a mention of Heaven, though. Only one I can remember, but it does get mentioned.

Angel Devil tells someone about to die that she'll go to heaven. Now, that could just be Angel Devil lying to comfort someone, but combined with Aki's afterlife scene being very different from Hell, that suggests that there's a place for sheep as well as goats.

makima tells us that there used to be multiple "options" at the end of life, but pochita ate all of them aside from death, so definitely possible

He wasn't dying. He was dead. Double dead, even, since he died to get his corpse possessed, and then the Gun Fiend died, with Future confirming it before we get the last panel of Aki and his brother playing catch.

(Amusingly enough, if we take that as heaven, that means the Hayakawa trio was completely split at the end of the series. Aki went to Heaven, Power went to Hell, and Denji stayed on Earth.)

We don't know for sure that Power didn't make it to heaven! She was a noble prize winner after all

I think stuff like the insanity star and the death alternatives could just be urban legends that weren't real before devils showed up but took on a life of their own due to how devils work

Unfortunately, it was actually Denji who won the Noble prize for his perpetual motion machine.

The Blood Devil is in Hell, but maybe we can imagine that they met up and befriended the Shark, Angel, and Violence Devils. It's completely unlikely, but we can certainly imagine.

Yeah, I guess it's ambiguous due to wording/translation issues but I would assume that the determinant is where the current manifestation incarnated rather than where it dies. It doesn't matter if you die on Earth or in Hell, if you incarnated on Earth you will reincarnate in Hell and vice versa.

In theory we could have a surprise where an earth-born character is taken to hell, killed and then gets back up because their death sent them to hell?

Wait, then if the current baddie was sent over from Hell, does that mean killing her would just cause her to instantly reincarnate on the spot?

Lt. Lizard

Remember that if Devils reincarnate, they are more or less a new individual, having no memories from previous incarnation and slightly different body and personality (maybe).

Elite

If they reincarnate on the spot, into a weaker incarnation with no memories and no understanding of what’s happening then chances are they just get killed twice and get sent to the other place anyway.

That's not necessarily true. Kishibe thinks it's a clean sweep, but he also thought there was no way to beat Makima. He's not always right.

At minimum, we know that the Public Safety devils still remembered the sound of a chainsaw.

Lt. Lizard
Apr 28, 2013
Eternity Devil in part 2 did not react to Denji, despite him leaving quite an ....uh impression on it in part 1. As you mentioned, Public Safety Devils report that all they can remember from their time in Hell is the sound of chainsaw just before they died and they didn't really have any reason to lie or obfuscate that. And I don't believe Naytua could act with Denji the way she is now if she had Makima's memories. There might be some exceptions and there might be some way to restore memories from previous reincarnations (Repressed Trauma Devil? :v:), but from what we were shown so far, nothing really contradicts Kishibe.
