for a female protagonist, I think.

this is just making me think about how Asa’s entire justification for her existence and life’s meaning is contingent on saving Denji, how she’s seemingly trapped within this role as what is essentially an accessory to his (and Yoru’s) story… that’s the other angle of what’s permissible

in returning the kiss Tomoaki forced upon him… the horrible realization that this can only be explained by genuine love, something that cannot be rationalized as a product of supernatural compulsion, excessive lust or inhuman calculated manipulation.

I’m always banging on about needing them to fuck but their first kiss is actually going to be more of a brick to the face I think because I am Dead Seat on it being Tomoaki trying to get Hajime to kill him and Hajime refusing to do so with the most devastating kind of tenderness and affection

denji: we fucked up together but also can we ignore how I fucked around with yoru for a bit thanks

and it’s like do not let that gay little man fool you because he is exactly where he wants and chooses to be no matter how much he tries to deny it

It’s similar to how ear picks and other associated products were recast as art supplies when ears were erased.

Because her memories have been recontextualized as a result of the erasure. Since death as a concept has been wiped from how she understands the world and the devils around her, the only thing that remains for context about how this devil was is that she was her sister.

The other thing I love about all of it is how genuinely happy Hajime looks to be with him ;;

I absolutely adore how all the extra-canon art of them is just “me and the demon boyfriend” because it sells how they work as a couple which I Will argue is actually very important to the canon story

She’s not immune, though. We see her forget what “death” is- both the word and the concept- in real time. Less affected, definitely, but not immune.

it's a satirization of america's sociocultural philosophy. yoru wants to lead a genocidal "holy war", fueled by... the power of friendship. yerp, that's america!

Your argument is essentially “the erasure of death had absolutely no affect on Yoru’s perception of the world, her role and her ties within/to it” which just doesn’t seem sound, especially when last chapter we see active rewriting of her perspective 😭

Tomoaki desperately wants Hajime to nibble on him and he’s soooooooo fuckin mad about it 😭😭😭

@lostinyesterday.bsky.social LOOK AT THEMMMM 😭😭😭😭

? Literally the entirety of her worldview and powerset centered around things dying.

reckon with that for what I can only imagine is going to be a brief period of time.

They are /entirely/ different people without knowing of death.
