I take it as him being invasive of her privacy

Makima went into his dreams and invaded his privacy, and forced him to relive his trauma. She saw trauma he never intended to reveal to anyone. Not even himself.

Denji is going to witness something private for her. By mistake? Sure. But still invasive

Oh right, hm
Thats a good point then!

My only issue is how will Asa remember someone who was erased? Will it not impact her dream? Or are we assuming Pochitas erasure only extends to the flamethrower devil, not him?

I will admit I've been a bit confused why this seems like the nail in the coffin for you from like. A lore perspective

I can definitely see how this closes it off in a like- metaphorical and narrative way a bit? But I'm sure it's not a reach for death to unchar and kill his body. Yuko had worse

It's because he knows Denji actually cared about him. Denji is upset, he did truly like Yoshida, and he had a hard time verbalizing that because he's embarrassed that he liked a male figure again after Aki.

He's stealing someone from him in front of his eyes again, like he's done twice prior

I mean, seriously. Every time we see this girl, it's a new scheme that's tacked on to the larger scheme. It's a plan that's constantly changing for her as well. Her desperation combined with her mystery has resulted in someone who reveals something new at EVERY opportunity. Absolute brilliance.

Oh for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if there's still twists about her dialogue from before the reveal, somehow.

I think going into part 2, the big question was "how do you top Makima?", and the answer wasn't to do one big plot twist, but rather make a character who twists the plot at EVERY turn

You know what I find really crazy? Deaths powers require her eating people (or at least she likes to do so)

I’m now convinced she killed and ate him at the cafe, off screen, during the falling arc

Yeah he’s dead.

…I HATE this answer on a personal level but also yeah thats objectively a great point 😭 Unfair but I could see the story taking Asa down that tragedy

-by Yoru just for Yoru and Denji’s fun. She isnt responding anymore because she’s feels useless, and like nothing’s worth fighting for or even feeling for. Denji’s ignorance to her venting confirmed it.

As cliche as it sounds, Asa will have a true hero’s moment and disobey her main abuser.

The way I’m viewing it is Asa still hasn’t had a moment of true selfishness. I feel like this HAS to build to her disobeying Yoru’s orders to stay put. She’s not responding because she’s hopeless right now, she’s numb. She’s been raped, doesn’t have HER arms, and has been forced to murder people-

I don’t see it tbh. I don’t see Fujimoto just. Not finishing her character arc. If she is dead, Death will revive her and give her agency back. It’d be very unlike Fujimoto to kill her here

If it wasn’t a ship they liked it wouldn’t be a question. Thats whats tough. I see one very specific way AsaDen endgame can work, and conceptually the ship is brilliant, but the story is making it very clear that it’s not supposed to be healthy. ESPECIALLY not from Denji to Asa.

I keep thinking back to Asa’s initial conflict though. She still hasn’t followed up on her dying wish of living more selfishly. Everything this girl has done has been for other people. Even her selfishness is for his benefit.

That’s gotta come into play man. She’s gonna realize 😭💜(coping but yk)

I get it
I see the anti denasa vision here but it will suck baddd if he really goes that route. But I'm hoping this is just gonna mirror when he saved her, and she began finding her self worth. I don't thinkkkkkk? This needs to be romantic :0 let's hope 🤞

Oh this panel RIPS

And I AM NOT CRAZY RIGHT

YESSS I'm so glad everyone's agreeing on this omg I didn't want to get called crazy for this one😭

Did you also think back to her btw because this panel feels so fucking Makima

I mostly agree with this but I am actually really fascinated by her love for Asa. I think she genuinely cares about Asa, and would be angry if Asa died, but she doesn't show Asa any intimacy or affection unless it's in a manipulative way.

Actually honestly it's giving "she's like a pet to me" tbh

I really think the story is making it blatantly obvious that the idea they can fix eachother hinges on misogynistic expectations. Women needing a man. More than anything these two need friends.

Obviously very different in ways, but they do remind me of Bojack and Diane

I love your theories sm this is BRILLIANT, true or not:0

Genuinely insane contrast between our two main antagonists, I love it!

I love her so much but I do hope Fujimoto reminds us that, she isn’t like Nayuta😭She probably is still very twisted and I wanna see her eat someone alive or something to gain power down the line…
