Is this the first time Public Safety has confirmed they knew about Asa and War this whole time?

gotta love any chapter with a good clean door shot. I don't think we've ever seen yoshida with a sword, have we?

I'm ready for a full spinoff about the devil name consultant. I have never wanted to know how a fictional character does their job more.

He was carrying a short sword when he first fought Quanxi in part 1, but it accomplished approximately nothing and he was disarmed of it almost immediately.

The current pacing of things coming to a head is so good. gently caress them church kids. Alot of dominos falling and the return of Asa makes me so psyched.

Fami is orchestrating something, and there is absolutely another party involved.

Devil name consultant is the only job I’ve ever wanted.

Well seeing as how they only had one eye and the missing one looked like it had a neat tattoo (edit: on second look, it's probably stitches), I'm pretty sure a contract is involved and they just know names on sight. If so anyone could do it, even us dumb dumbs.

Yoshida is terrible at managing people, as evidenced by all of the zero times Denji has transformed since he was told to stop, and by the fact that his plans are still basically unfolding perfectly.

Heh and of course the only things Yoshida is competent at are violence and murder.

Relax, it'll grow back.

Seriously, girl regrew her fingernail almost immediately during the falling devil arc, regrowing an arm is no problem she just needs to drink some blood to speed up the process. War devil can regenerate like a champ.

Yoshida did a non-lethal takedown that caused no lasting damage and prevented a building from collapsing, he made only right moves here. Also, it looked cool.

I think we might be about to get another attack from a primal fear devil, when the Falling Devil was summoned to earth by Fami it was right as the sun was setting and in this chapter the sun is shown to be setting right as Fami's church is getting hosed up and her weapon minions are getting arrested.

A big possible clue/confirmation of the theory Fight Club theory. Public safety honcho specifically said "The War Devil Asa Mitaka". Not "The War Devil Contract User/Contractor/Fiend/Hybrid Asa Mitaka", Just straight up "War Devil"

It is pretty interesting that, if Fami was the one pretending to be the Justice Devil all this time, then she is entirely responsible for Asa Mitaka hosting the War Devil (or awakening to being the War Devil if you're into the Fight Club theory).

I'd assume Public Safety treats wild (Devil)-Fiends as just the Devil itself for most intents and purposes since the human is supposed to be dead, it just matters bc it will now be human shaped with an odd head thing. The Horseman all look human naturally (apparently?), so Asa's specific situation may not be known or really matter when dealing with her-as-War. They don't call Denji "Chainsaw Hybrid" just Chainsaw(man), they same with Bow and Katana etc

Exactly my point though they don’t call them The Bow/Katana/Chainsaw Devil, they call them just “Chainsaw (Man)” or “Samurai Sword” or Quanxi. Never as “The _ Devil”

I'm saying that a devil hunting organization, when seeing a lady manifest the powers of War, would assume (out of an abundance of caution if nothing else) that she is the actual War Devil going by an assumed name and refer to her as War. That War might be a Fiend or Hybrid version is mostly irrelevant to dealing with her except she'd be weaker in some sense. So it doesn't read to me as a subtle hint to a greater truth. Maybe the fact they skipped over the Contracted possibility could be interesting, but maybe War just doesn't do that kind of contract historically . Idk lol I'm also in the group of folks that couldn't name the Falling Devil so

if you had previously worked with makima or in her same organization, and you were aware of a human-looking person exhibiting horseman of the apocalypse devil powers, you might understandably draw certain conclusions.

I really like the implications in this chapter. Devils being able to lie about who they are is pretty interesting since it means contracts can be even more bullshit than we had thought. Either that or someone is able to clone devils. Possibly there is a Clone Devil.
