The first RIPs start coming our way, devil hunters ;( She was a real one! This feels a bit different than manga but I liked the atmosphere, music, silence when it was amplifying the impact of the scene.. Masterfully done!

What I noticed, though, is more CGI incorporated in random scenes. Some of it ok (start of the ep), some not so good (restaurant scene) & some pretty damn well made (snake stuff). CGI has gone a long way, but keep it to absolute minimum pls :)

The episode was great, the animation, story and music, everything was superb. I was on the edge of my seat having goosebumps and shivers for the entire duration, the whole episode was just one big escalator, and it went through the roof starting with Makima's ritual.

I'm going to go with a theory that Makima has powers related to something like sins. She most likely isn't a devil hunter with a contracted devil, rather than that, she IS a devil.
It would make sense seeing how she doesn't sacrifice anything personal and has no regard for humans, she treats them more like toys, pets, pawns (after all, devils tend to despise humans)

I think her ability covers quite a bit of sin related things.
One thing is that she can give penance to people if someone repents with their life & does what she asks of them. That relates to the train deaths - everyone there died, and Makima got the names of the other thugs out of them.
Other skill she might have would probably relate to giving meaning to deaths, as in when the sacrifices were dying during her ritual she perhaps somehow turned their deaths into something that could link their deaths to the ones whose names they said.
Everyone she killed was a murderer at the very least - everyone who died was completely evil, and thus sinful.

The way in which she kills also can relate to sin. I think she can choose in which way to kill people as long as it's related to the feelings that sinners experience.
Train people died with holes in their chests/abdomens - that can relate to feelings like shame where your chest feels heavy.
The ritual targets - got quite literally crushed, which relates to the feeling of crushing guilt.
The sacrifices - they were killed in a non-gory way, could be because Makima didn't want to make a bloody scene in a sacred place (she was at a temple after all) or because the brutality of their deaths was shifted towards the ritual targets.

I thought about the possibility of Makima being something like "God devil" but nah. While her abilities have some holy traits, she has so far only worked with sin-related things. I don't think something that relates to a god would be limited by being able to kill only through sacrificing people, in a certain spot, after certain ritual, after certain words are spoken. It just makes no sense as to why would there be so many limitations on something that is basically a downscaled god. Makima with sin powers seems definitely more probable. Sins relate to feelings, pain, torture, death. Sins also relate to penance so by extension to sacrifice and controling others.


I've actually written a way longer theory on Makima with more 'solid' elements, however my goofy ass managed to delete it instead of saving, so I'm going to leave this 'wild' theory here in case even a sentence proves to be true in the future so I can feel good about myself.

Wow Aimer comes here for another Himeno ed and little bit of Makima visual get featured there.

Idk what's goin on with Makima and her bullshit power. But man, that's shit truly twisted. Then Kobeni also shine there, manage to survive and made them running away, and not even mentioning her devil contract. But bruh that was also awesome!

Three last episode already? Time sure flies fast!

Seriously Himeno doesn't have to sacrifice himself for Aki. Just pull the damn Chainsaw earlier lol.

Yeah Denji might have lose to Katana Man but think the primary reason is the fact that he underestimate his enemy. Denji is the same person that fought Eternity Devil for 3 nights and makes the Eternity Devil wanna end their life to stop the suffering.

well that didn't exactly clear anything up from last episode hahaha

boss lady isn't dead. she has some pretty disturbing curse contract. people literally just assploding all over the place. popping like big ol blood balloons

and that one lunatic newbie chick from a few episodes back was able to live, too, because her newbie partner guy sacrificed himself to save her (took the bullet for her). boss lady and lunatic newbie were able to separately do enough to save mc's body from being snatched. but he's still "dead" for now. and still no sign of fiend girl and no update on the sword devil hunter guy who got wrecked the previous episode

the special divisions got f'ed up bad. basically all the full-human members were killed off in one fell swoop. are devil/curse contract devil hunters considered human or non-human?

either way, the best part about this show is the devil lore and the gore. the weird statutory rape kinda stuff is easily the worst part of the show, and the mc often thinking about boobs/sex isn't much better

This show started to get really exciting over the last couple of episodes even if the previous ones were not that of a masterpiece. Makima is not to be trusted and let's see what will they do about the other assassins.

Everything we've seen so far with Demon Hunters that have contracts is they sacrificed some parts of their own bodies to gain that power

Makima straight up shatters this by sacrificing living humans to kill others, wtf

I really enjoyed a "showcase" of Makima's powers. In general i'd say that this episode is where "the shit went down", and something significant and very important happened (it began in episode 8). I enjoyed the part where Makima used her powers and the convicts the most. The combination of the earry music as well as amazing animations of her hand movements and the explosions made it frightening and cool.

CSM vs KatanaMan went so hard. However, Katana's quick-draw move managed to stop Denji.

The scene where Makima comes back to life and eerily stands in front of the shooters is so fuckin terrifying and creepy. Same with the shot of her attackers lying in a pool of blood and her saying that she wasn't shot. One of my favourite scenes from the manga.

Some of Makima's powers were shown and those crushing scenes were brutal. I loved it.

Arai is a real one for taking that second shot for Kobeni. RIP all the other devil hunters from Divisions 1-4 in Tokyo.

Kobeni really popped off. She did her best and deserves a break now. She doesn't belong in this line. She deserves better.

What an episode. In a single episode, they managed to turn the whole mood. The amount of casualties is astounding and to think this is only the first major serious arc if we see it that way. The upcoming arcs are gonna be absolutely mind-boggling if MAPPA keeps up with their quality. Like fr MAPPA really didn't hold back anything here.

Pretty cool ED

the episode was good. We got to see denji in action just to get his ass kicked.


So far it is the most bloodiest episode in the series and tbh that's also the main reason I'm watching this anime.

In total, A lot happened in one episode. We got to see makima in action, denji in deadpool pose, the new girl showing off her parkour skills without context, American normal things in a nutsell and finally useless aki.

In this ep we got to see more of Makima's powers. She seems to had anticipated all of the move's the enemy you've made and also found a way to take all of divisions, under her command. Meaning she knew what will happened and didn't stop it because it would benefit her.
