I know Aki is destined for a gruesome death, of his own making, but it is hard not to feel bad for the guy. He seems to genuinely care about the others in the group

yeah this whole situation is throwing off red flags

Who / what is Makima actually waiting for? We might not find out for a while; since there is a lapse in memory component to all of this

well maybe the issue is in how a devil leaves hell. We know if they die they'll reappear on earth, but we've also been shown that there are ways to escape hell mostly intact

Aki Prediction: We've been shown that while controlled, the subject doesn't seem to recall what happened during that time

So from Aki's perspective, he'll have just asked Makima for help and then "wake up" experiencing the prediction Future devil gave him. Not understanding how he got there


which is pretty :smith:

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.

my fear is that Makima has set this up, on purpose. All based on what Future devil told Aki

doesn't Makima bring Aki to Future devil in the first place?

beam is kinda interesting; he recognizes chainsaw devil and begins worshiping him. We aren't really told what their relationship is but there's obviously more going on in the story than we're led to believe

Simply because we're told all devils fear Chainsaw but why doesn't Beam?

I do agree that violence devil seems like it should be a much bigger deal than what we've seen. I hope previously defeated devils come back in some form

Yeah this was kind of stupid but if this is arc 1 of 3 I think we're just fleshing out motivations here.

Yeah this doesn't feel very endgame to me. Denji getting away and trying to start a new life is in the cards

I wonder if Kishibe knew Denji was there or not. Did Makima bring Chainsaw, to her home, knowing this was going to happen?

that'd be some 4d chess

I think it's sacrifice of life. There seems to be a running theme of sacrificing your body or life expectancy to gain devil powers

Everyone seems to be scared shitless of Makima. So I could see some people, especially those who got hosed over by her, saying gently caress it send me to hell if it means Makima dies

makima stated that any damage done to her would manifest in the japanese populace. Are we about to see japan become post-apoc?

I don't see how we deescalate back to monster of the week format after this. makima has played her hand and poo poo is getting wild
