I think so, yeah. She makes weapons out of her blood, and can use jars of it to lay traps, but it seems it has to be her blood. Something in me recalls them calling her 'A blood devil' rather than 'the' so if thats not a mistake, her purview may only be certain types of blood or bleeding.

Beware the Menstrual Blood Devil.

This presents a big problem then. Killing the gun devil will send it to Hell, and since it’s so strong it’ll probably kill a bunch of devils there and send them back to Earth. Unless they don’t retain their former strength and have to build it up from scratch.

What killed the chainsaw devil then?

The Chinese devils suddenly swooping in as contenders for best. Blood, Donuts, Halloween and ... what more could one want?

I wonder what they're all devils of? Halloween is probably Halloween, given how much she enjoys saying it... Blood could be another blood devil like Power, she's got the same horns. Donuts' hair could be an eel, or maybe a question-mark. Devil of the unknown? Silence looks like a frankenstein, so could be a devil of monsters, or maybe of corpses or zombies. Death Itself is probably a much bigger deal fear.


Donuts could be Trypophobia?

Huh. So the person we thought of as Santa was another "elaborate" puppet like Tolka got turned into. The real "Santa" is Tolka's master. Or perhaps Tolka's master is the inheritor. Whatever. Neat twist.


Probably not given how deliberate the command seemed to be.

Do you remember how Santa asked for orphans? I guess Tolka's master was one, too. She even called him Grandpa.
The inheritor idea is the most likely.

Those four kids were the orphans, and three got taken.

It's like "Daddy in the East" for Kaguya-sama: You know somewhere in your brain that it's kinda wrong, but goddammit, there's a strong-as-hell charm in that goof-up. The official translation kinda makes sense if you remember what she told Master Kishibe about that one news anchor she fancied.

Ok, that makes it kind of consistent, even if she doesn't use the exact same phrase in the original.

"The secret to a happy life in this world is being an ignorant fool."

I'm kinda lost on the different "types" of people, ie hybrids etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I think are all the different types of people from most to least human:

Regular Humans
Humans that have made contracts with devils, like Aki
Hybrids, which are like half human half devil?
Fiends, which are devils that have taken over a human corpse, like Denji and Power (or is Denji a hybrid???)
Devils that look like humans, like Angel
Devils that look like scary monsters,, like Darkness devil etc.

Denji is a hybrid, he's still himself. Pochi/Chainsaw Devil only took over as his heart, not his mind.

Wait, if power is a fiend, do we know what devil she was (is?) originally? The power devil seems the most likely, of course.

:confused: The blood devil

Fiends all have weird aberrations, like Power's horns, Shark Guy's shark head or Halloween's exposed brains and drooping eye.

Yummy, plenty of interesting lore reveals in this chapter. Was the bit at the end a historical record, or is the manga set in that timeframe and I just never realized?

Whatever's behind Denji's secret door better be truly insane, because he's way out of his depth if he wants to go toe to toe with the Gun Devil or Makima.

It is indeed set in 96/97. In the flashback to the first Gun Devil attack, it says 13 years ago on November 18th and you see a calendar that puts it on a friday. Which is the case in 1983.
The cars all look the part and I don't think I've seen any mobile phones.

Are we sure that Aki is actually the Gun Fiend? He honestly looks more like Chainsaw or Sword or any of the others while they're transformed than Shark or Violence.

e:Not to mention that he knows Denji by name, which the Gun devil probably wouldn't be able to.

He's missing the razor teeth we have seen with all other hybrids. The reason he came to Denji was because of Aki's memories. There might still be some mind fusion happening, what with kid Aki and the snowball fight.

The future devil would also love Aki fusing with the gun devil.

Huh, that's an interesting interpretation. I hadn't connected those two together - I assumed it was more that when Angel saw Makima use her powers, it spurred the memories back of when she used it in his past. Like when you hear a song or see a movie for the first time in like a decade, and suddenly remember all the words you had forgotten.

She can definitely control more than one person at once though - she had controlled the one dude while in Hell in order to get them out of there. If Makima could only control one person at a time, Angel would have recovered his memories.

I interprete it more that there is limit on how many people she can control at once and Angel just happened to be the earliest one. She controlled him again right after he broke free.

I'm actually disappointed by this, I didn't expect this to happen, but here we are.

Giving the chainsaw devil the ability to eat something out of existence just doesn't make sense.
It doesn't fit with his theme at all. We've seen that all his powers and abilities were chainsaw based, like moving around or holding people still. And then, he can eat stuff out of existence.
It's not even a weird or disgusting and original manifestation of his abilities like Mashima's control manifesting as someone's guts being wrapped around their necks or Bomb flying around with explosions.




Beyond that, I'm digging Mashima even more now.

So I guess she's just a devil then?

Disappearing devils must be an acquired power after they started fearing him.
Now that Makima can remember them.
