Posting this page again, because it blows my mind that so many people's takeaway from the Aging Devil arc is "Wow Denji is so crazy and cool, and he came to a great revelation that will help solve his problems"

I can't believe I completely forgot about treeification up until right now honestly. It's pretty clearly going to come into play with this new "world without death"

Some notable things in regards to Death Devil's plan.
1. Despite Death saying that Yoru wanted to erase her, Yoru is immediately unhappy with the development
and
2. Despite Death saying she is trying to find a way to kill herself to save humanity, Yoru says that's exactly what activates her powers

She doesn't say "how dare you eat my older sister" out of love for her, its because the previous panel shows the process of her forgetting Death's existance. She remembers that she's mad at Pochita for eating Death, but she can't remember what Death represented.

The whole "lets make our own world" schtick is the antithesis of everything CSM says with its existance erasure, and feels like a natural extension of Denji's journey towards the devil's side thats been going on all of Part 2. It feels like the story is about to test if "Nothing beats a normal life"

Unlike Fakesaw, Fami doesn't even give an affirmative after Death's order, she just repeats "salvation" which is what she said when *defying* Death. She then proceeds do absolutely nothing to progress Death's plans, while speaking of saving humanity as if it is still her mission.

The first thing Fami does after being made a pawn is defy Death's control and punch her. Fami's power means this could have been a fatal attack against basically anyone else. Could this have been something she was "programmed" to do by Public Safety?

This wouldn't be outside of the realm of Public Safety's capabilities at all, in fact they wouldn't even need to use a devil's power to achieve this. All Public Safety would need to do is make a contract(s) with Fami ahead of time that says she will do a specific action under a specific condition.

Obviously Fami can't just be a straight up Public Safety agent (She is ignorant about a lot of information Public Safety has access to). Which is why I call her a "sleeper agent". I think it's a Makima-Akane situation where Public Safety keeps her ignorant of her own status as a pawn.

It's just so convenient that Death says that she can't cooperate with Public Safety because of her school commitments, and then the government immediately transfers a Devil into her class to work on that exact same festival with her.

To me this means that there must be another aspect to her plan (or the plan of the people who sent her) which directly involves Death. And since having the plan be foiled before we know what it is would be a really weird decision, that makes me think that Fami becoming a Death pawn IS the plan.

She didn't pull a Yoru and take over the body of a student there, she's a transfer that has never been there before. She'd need the government's help. Her showing up at Death's school can't be a coincidence, but nothing about what we've seen of her "saving humanity" plan has involved Death yet.

Speaking on the lack of coherency with how Public Safety treats Death. A lot of the current events make more sense to me with the view that Famine is a Public Safety sleeper agent. Because her being able to transfer into Death's school makes no sense otherwise.

The scene is a pretty big escalation in Denji's objectification of women. It's hard to put into words, but the fact that he summarizes their conversation with him by imagining them talking to him *while* flashing him (when that's not what happened), feels like something he wouldn't do before now.

On some level I get the resistance to it, its not completely unreasonable to assume that Fujimoto might have a blind spot in regards to misogyny. But it's felt pretty clear recently. The misogyny isn't just some incidental aspect of the focus on Denji's hypersexuality, its clearly deliberate

Yoru also straight up does the Japanese hand sign for thief when she makes the Gun Goddess.

Asa already being a pawn of Death would provide answers for a lot of outstanding weird things in the story.
Why can Death banish Yoru from Asa's mind?
Why does Asa dream of a fixed path she follows, full of dead birds?
Why didn't Death turn Asa into a pawn during early Part 2?

"If you want to live, your body will be mine" isn't a very Yoru-esque line, she doesn't care what Asa wants, but it does fit perfectly with how Death acts. Death is the devil most associated with birds in Part 2, and it was her pawn that got Asa killed in the first place.

Fight Club theory has merit, but a lot of the explanations I've seen gloss over the logistics of why Yoru resurfaces in Asa after she dies in Chapter 98. My personal theory is that *if* Fight Club Theory is true, it will also come with the reveal that the potoo bird wasn't Yoru, it was Death.

Denji doesn't agree with Yoshida here that the memories were precious, to him they were probably pretty mundane, but from a time when he was happier in general

I agree in regards to Denji, but I think it makes sense for Yoshida to view the relationship this way. Part of the tragedy for me is that from an outside perspective Denji and Yoshida's relationship was surface-level, but its also the most meaningful relationship Yoshida's ever had.

Man Yoru's perception-based powers are so ridicuolously powerful, especially now that she's learn to weaponize subjectivity like Asa. Since she views Pochita as her ultimate foe, she can just declare that the fight is for the entire world, and it works.
