"Death, let's meet up at your place later. What's your street name?"

"Lil D."

"I meant your address."

u/NomadPrime Jul 29 '25

For another manga, I would find a name like Lil D as cringy, but because it's Fami, it's somehow fitting and endearingly hilarious? 😂

She says "Shii-chan" in the raws, from "Shi no Akuma", so while it might be a bit memey to go for "lil" it doesn't seem too far off for me

Remember, Asa still exists and is best girl. She's always been genuine.

326

u/Mundology The Elder Weeb Jul 29 '25

Yoru just wanted that Green Card all along.

Nuclear Devil was enough for Yoru to overcome the gap between her and Falling. Asa gotta find a way to reclaim control over her body quickly and Denji needs to unlock Pochita's full potential.

35

u/Gurgalopagan Jul 29 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

I think Asa really is the only solution right now

Pochita is not tanky enough to not get dilacerated before getting to her, so without abusing whatever immortality he had previously (it wasn't just regeneration, because every Devil knows about it, Yoru wouldn't say "he SOMEHOW always gets back up" if it was that simple), because that would imply dying, and well, Denji would go too in that case, I don't think Pochita is willing to let that happen...

Death clearly isn't the strongest in raw power, and well, you can't just wait until she becomes the fucking apocalypse to then deal with Yoru (tho I'm kinda suspecting Yoru's the actual cause of the apocalypse given the US just conveniently made her into her strongest form just as the prophecy starts kicking in).

Denji's just suffered enough, my dude is just... fuck mate, this chapter was like reading one of those depressing NTR hentais but the writing is so good I actually got attached to the victim and with the "I'd rather not panel" just having happened my guard was totally down... that panel of her doing the peace sign FUCKING HURT :,-(, FUCK Yoru... America I can excuse, they just made a weapon, Yoru's the cunt that abandoned Denji at the first sight of power...

Now Asa, is probably on the best position to actually put up a fight, her and Yoru aren't just a hybrid, they don't fit the description beyond the name, not to mention, Asa's the first ever person to use a "hack" ability of a devil by herself, as in, not having to have the Devil itself allow it for, Santa is the only other case that comes close, but she wasn't a hybrid, the Doll devil was just allowing her to borrow the powers, Yoru has been show to not control if Asa can use it or not.

That then goes to my main point, I think Asa is the War Devil, like actually is considered the War Devil just as much as Yoru, because that's what the contract entailed, the body, mind and powers are Yoru's, but also Asa's, they're two personalities of the same person, if one got the power boost, it's just logical the other also did, and while Asa clearly is the weaker willed of the two, I think she's fundamentally stronger than Yoru

We never saw her being overwhelmed by Yoru via brute force, it's always when Asa wants to escape her problems that she loses ownership of the body, on the other hand, Yoru constantly gets overwritten by Asa, simply because devil's don't have as strong emotions as humans, the most emotional one we have seen that isn't a fiend and thus being actively influenced by human biology (what would make ASA the origin point of Yoru's stronger emotions), nor that has it a "default state" like Fami where she's just sulking for no reason at all, is Control, and even then, Makima was completely repressed and Nayuta was a psychopath with anyone that wasn't Denji, that opens the door to Asa handle Yoru in the "mental battle", but why doesn't she?

Well, as said, she's not used to handling though situations, Part 2 has shown a constant theme of Asa repeatedly shutting down when life gets though, she gets sidelined on what is supposed to be HER story, she could never be selfish before dying... the first time she actually acted on something she could just let happen was... saving Denji. Right now, Asa's still processing what's happening, and Yoru is in the clouds, but I suspect saving the world, the biggest decision of the series is gonna fall on Asa's shoulders, by either continuing her pattern of not facing hardships, or actually fighting for her own autonomy, probably because Denji is gonna be put in real risk of death, and Yoru is either the one putting him there, or isn't gonna even try to save him

It could even be what solves Denji's theme of "I want both", he cannot decide what he wants of life, and it's been constantly making him suffer, and it's not like him getting both is the best ending, we have seen that's just not reasonable, nor is it healthy, for as much as Yoru and Asa represent ID and Superego (raw desire and self restraint) Denji clearly isn't the Ego in this scenario (as in the mediator), he counterbalances Asa to a beautiful degree, their chemistry is pretty fucking good, but he and Yoru reinforce each other's "fuck it all, let's do what's fun" mentality, Denji isn't the mediator here, there isn't one, it's Asa that actually has to choose between two "ID", the easy surrender to Yoru, and the hard reigning in Denji

War being in love with America and people cheering for countries getting nukes is also a deliberate choice. America holding a large portion of Gun devil and the statue of Liberty housing weapon devils is also something.

He likes part of the culture, it's the foreign policy and war industrial complex that he doesn't seem to keen on. The previous arc of the japanese government sacrificing the young to prolong the geriatric people in power, is as much a critic of what is happening in japan as well.

u/Testosteronomicon Jul 29 '25

That's the problem, artists are pressured to make their works as unsubtle as you can possibly make them but not only will some people find their own meaning in a work that is not the True Meaning of the Author (and in fact they should be encouraged to do so!) but some other people, including a handful in this very thread, will see this unsubtle meaning, process it and say it's not that. Like they won't even argue against it, they'll simply say it can't be that based on pure feel over facts.

I assume "Lil' D" is something like "De-chan" in the original. Not a great translation, makes her sound like a Soundcloud rapper.

When is Lil D finally going to drop her new album? I have been waiting for years.

Edit: That being said her name is being translated way differently across languages.

The german translation now calls her Mori. As in Memento Mori.

Not going to lie, I was half expecting something close to the Captain America Devil Fujimoto drew up a while back.

Today's chapter can be summed up by "MURICA FUCK YEAH". I can't think of a more patriotic scene than countless corpses fried by nuclear fire alongside text of the national anthem.

Fujimoto: Listen guys you shouldn’t read too much into my own series for what kinds of themes and symbolism I’m making, sometimes I just want to write a story

Fujimoto: America is one of the most war-hungry, bloodthirsty empires to ever exist on this planet

subtext is never enough because people will always willingly cover their eyes and ears and go "nuh uh it's not that deep". even though the literal embodiment of war is gushing over how much she loves america

if anything fujimoto should be even more blatant and have chainsaw man just eat the entire usa, I'd love to see the meltdown over that

So we were all correct that America reinvented nukes. Therefore, Nazism can also be recreated. Wonder if the solution would be to eat this second nuclear weapons devil or leveling the playing field by vomiting the original one so more countries would have nukes.

Lil D is a very "creative" translation for Death-chan. I understand English applies grammar at random and therefore doesn't have a universal diminutive but come on. This makes it look like she's coy about her identity when there's really no ambiguity.

So it's confirmed that the plan Asa told Denji she feared Yoru would carry out is thermonuclear WW2, followed by Devil-kind feasting on the survivors.

u/Rasputins_Plum Jul 29 '25

Fujimoto is legit hilarious, love this dude.

Will the real Lil' D please stand up?

And Yoru having her full delulu moment as she enters MAGA, America fuck yeah 🦅🦅 phase.

Frankly, her win over Falling makes sense. I understand why Falling is a Primal Fear, but out of all Horsemen, like Death, at this point, there's a fair argument to be made that War reached primal fear status.

Even when living in countries that have only known peace in recent years, we're bombarded by images and horror tales about war. The history you're beaten over the head with, is less about the march of progress of humanity but more about an inventory of our petty squabbles over land.

War war war. And that's not even talking about people that are directly affected by it, whose entire lives or deaths are shaped by it.

Denji escaped from Yoru's obssession with him without him doing anything about it, which is hilarious and will make an interesting dynamic since Asa has genuinely bonded with him. Yoru was soo close for getting in touch with human emotions when she didn't want to see her crush on Denji, but she regressed with a bang and without any shame.

Really excited about next chapter. Now that she lost her strongesr soldier, Death is going to finesse Denji so what she says, whether it's true or not, is sure to be interesting.
