Hm, makes kinda sense. Then I just wonder whether his regeneration also fixes tiredness. 3 days is on the verge of when most people would collapse and fall asleep, so the demon had waited for 4-5 days, he might have won.

I don't think it'd fix tiredness, otherwise Denji wouldn't have slept right after the fight. The Infinite Devil would have won if he managed to hold off, and if it thought that Denji would collapse, but it couldn't take it anymore.
Also, his heart looked like a scrotum.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Having an undying, endlessly regenerating body with a full sense of pain, but no oblivion of unconsciousness, and then someone endlessly cuts and mutilates you with a chainsaw. It's kind of surprising the devil could last as long as it did.
holy crap, I nearly vomited myself when he swallowed it.
PURE PROTEIN!

Is it just me, or did this episode look weird?
No more so than any other episode.
Mass, multi-target hit called by presumably the Gun Devil.
Who survived, and how log does it take Denji to get up from one measaly headshot?
So, there are more devil hybrids coming?
I don't believe for a second that all these characters are dead.
Hmm, to me, everything before the hits looked EXTRA CGI, and seemed like the framerate was off.Originally Posted by neflight86
I assume this sword guy is one. He has the exact same loadout as Denji, with two blade arms and one sticking out of his face.
I liked the many animation techniques and lighting. Far from perfect, but still nice.
I can see Himeno dying, I very much doubt Makima would.
But why not ? The world they live in calls for random instant death a lot more that ours. And their jobs increase the risks by quite a bit.
It would just be a little hard to lose Makima now, story wise.
Denji should have his MC shield.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I expect Makima, or someone else, to rewind time. While I could perhaps see Himono die now, after the "let's be friends and work together for a common goal" kind of flag, it's impossible for Makima to die, plus kind of strange for so many characters in general to die, unless you want to create a Berserk like story. I'd very much assume this story is about Denji working at that agency, which would be pretty pointless if all of his collegues were removed right atfer they got some depth to their personalities.
That being said, there's definitely government folks behind these hitmen. They were all at the right places at the right time, in a very coordinated fashion, sporting guns and assassination skills. They obviously knew exactly where Makima's crew was, what they were doing, and so forth. It might be another group from the same agency, whatever was the agency's name. Perhaps the blade dude was created on purpose, in secret, and they were alarmed to discover Denji's existence, under someone else's care. So, they decided to kill everyone. The "scary woman" looking after the blade dude seemed like a high level agent, considering she summoned the massive sake, just like Topknot-Aki summons the fox.
So if a devil can just go "Nah, fuck that shit, don't wanna", what's the point of a contract? Last week Himeno told us that if the Infinity/Eternity Devil made a contract to let them leave then he must. Ghost Devil this episode just went Nah.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
We don't know the details of her contract.
I think Makima will resurrect because she has a contract that allows that, or she is like Denji and knife-devil-fusion and can regenerate.
Pretty sure Eyepatch is dead. She had 3 episodes of development but isn't with the gang in the OP animation. Same logic with Makima. She is too present in the OP to be dead without any demystification of her character.
Someone needs to pull Denji's chain...
Peace.
Great episode, but here's what irks me:
- that one guy being able to revive others is way to overpowered. And he can summon that giant snake devil without any visible downsides. Himeno and Aki need to sacrifice bodyparts, so what's his payment?
- I hate how Himeno dies after last night. Feels like a woke moral-bs decision, a la "she tried to have sex with a minor, so that means she had to die". I know at least one forum where people will argue like that and feel it's a good thing. :/
While I do think that Makina will revive one way or another, it wouldn't be bad if all these characters had died for real. Just means the next chapter in Denji's life starts.
I wonder what organization executed this assassination event. Was it the Yakuza? Was it a fringe groupe of devil hybrids?
Also, it was kinda lame how Himeno's ghost devil became visible. Should have just stayed invisible and ripped sword dude to pieces.
Why would you want such a lame plot-device to happen? This kind of bs is what removes meaningful consequences from so many anime.

All the things I expect are not things I want. Like I said in my post, I expect it because too many people died. Or at least it seems like they died, the whole team. That being said, earlier I was half expecting Kobeni and maybe Arai to leave the unit, but by the looks of it, they didn't. Still, there's some difference between peacefully leaving and leaving in a coffin.
But then again, if Makima, Power, Topknot-Aki, and Denji survive, with the rest kicking the bucket, maybe it would allow the team to be rebuilt using more competent members. A ruthless retirement for the rest, but that's the reality in that universe. Character building for the new members would start from zero at this point, but maybe this is a really long series like the famous shounen from the past? I have no idea.
She is in the movie theater shot that shows the entire squad.
Interestingly, her mentor guy with the scar shows up in the intro more than any of the other lesser squadmates.
Seemed pretty obvious they were disciples of the Gun Devil.
There's no way those 2 are dead, cause it cut away from their deaths without showing it and the show didn't even show us their powers yet!

Kobeni and Arai also were 2, versus one shot we heard before it cut away, so I'm 100% sure they both survived. At least one, but probably both. Perhaps one got injured. And after everything, it's time they show us some good moments, too, so dodging that surprise attack would be a reasonable amount of badass display.

.. I.. wtf?
Pretty sure this is a "Here's a sexy, fun character an- lol I killed her. *SHOCK*" scenario that we see every now and again.

Are you suggesting the Gun Devil is working for Japan or some other big country? Or running some multi-billion global mafia? Because like I said in the earlier post, some random gang couldn't pull this off.
Now that I'm writing this comment, I realise the Gun Devil could simply be holding the Japanese PM by the balls, basically blackmailing him to do whatever the Gun Devil is asking for or a good chunk of Tokyo will be removed from the map. This might actually explain everything: These new mystery enemies would be government workers, like Makima's team, maybe just a lot shadier. It would explain how they could keep track of Makima's team and strike against all of them at the same time, by the looks of it even knowing how much strength they must have available to beat Makima's team members. Because there's no way the Gun Devil could realistically know all that. Unless there's Information Devil helping the Gun Devil.
I would have described it as more some kind of cult or secret society. What with it being an otherworldly supernatural being.
You act like they were invaded by some kind of army or something. It was, like, 10 people with handguns and two Fiends.
Really? There's NO way that the MAGIC creature that can wipe out cities could also have a way of knowing things?
Especially things like...the location of people that COLLECT HIS BODY PARTS?
