chiasaur11 posted:I assumed he was trying to get Yoshida to just gently caress off, but then there was free food on offer, and Denji wasn't going to pass that up. Yeah, Denji strikes me as the type who would never say no to an offer of free food even if he was a billionaire. Hidingo Kojimba fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Sep 1, 2022 |

chiasaur11 posted:Japanese high school is optional, requires testing to get into a good school, and isn't automatically state-sponsored. You can get a full ride most of the time without too much effort, at least for public school, but Denji would not know how to navigate the paperwork, I'd think. If the government can afford to hire Yoshida to be his handler, you'd hope they could afford an actual social worker to make sure he gets some help claiming social security, and make sure he has enough life skills not to burn his house down... but given the kind of manga this is, there probably are no social workers.

ImpAtom posted:Are you kidding? She is going to get a weapon contracted to the Justice Devil. Best day ever. Yeah, I’m guessing whatever happens with Yuko is going to be used to establish the ground rules of what Yoru can and cannot do with friend-weapons. Teacher and class president weren’t around long enough to explain much and it’s probably going to be pretty important. Also, poor Asa. Getting a loser boyfriend at the cost of her bestie.

Lt. Lizard posted:Thinking about it, how the hell did Yuko even established a contract with Justice Devil, considering it was sent to Hell like...two? three? days ago by Yoru. That's a bit fast for a natural turnover back to Earth. And in the exact same location too. That wasn’t the Justice Devil. It was just the class president using her contract powers. That won’t kill the Justice Devil any more than Aki dying killed the Future Devil.

symbolic posted:so Yuko's a fiend now? didn't see that coming but hell, makes sense It’s a bit odd I mean I don’t think Justice was actually present when Yuko transformed. That was just a devil contract. On the other hand, if the other girl was Famine it would make sense for her power to be able to force another devil to eat/inhabit a corpse.

If Yuko gets pressganged into the state Devil Hunters as a fiend, will Kobeni be her cool senpai? Yuko and Kobeni would make for some potentially amazing sociopathic comedy writing.

Bread Set Jettison posted:Yeah fiends are a straight up downgrade from pure devil forms. I can never remember where that’s stated but I also remember it being said to be a survival mechanism. It’s also not clear if it’s very reversible. That’s the general rule yes, although exactly how much of a downgrade it is seems to vary wildly. Violence was noted as being much less of a downgrade than normal without his mask. And Yoru doesn’t seem to have lost any power at all, since she notes that Asa can make weapons just as strong as anything she can make. (Although Yoru was already crippled by Chainsaw before she possessed Asa.)

Asa is pretty darn cute. sube posted:So she'scalled the famine devil but she's focused on right and wrong? Kind of weird naming. Good chapter though Probably a Biblical reference to the passage generally taken to refer to famine: quote:And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

chiasaur11 posted:Nah. We see with Makima that the powers of the Four Horsemen don't just need them to know it's possible in the abstract, but to believe whatever the situation is. A million yen is a lot of money to a broke teenager, so processing the difference between it and the hundreds of millions of yen the aquarium actually is valued at requires mental work, especially because the million came from a pile of infinite money. Give her a few years and a law degree and that can be fixed. Hmm... there's the potential for a really terrible, self-indulgent fanfic there.
