>>291298953>>291298986>asmodeus and beelzebub are in their child formsSo Belphegor's power really was able to revert anything, huh? Good on him.
!!!
>>291299108What a worthless nigger all only good when death
Enter!
>>291298953Cute Levi. I like her even more now.
>>291299108Whore of babylon?
The Prince of Lies!Satan!
>>291298986What does this mean? Does he get to torment her in his little kingdom in hell?
>>291299179>>291299206>"sorry for the arc being dogshit up until this point dear reader"T-thanks, Satan...
>>291299206My hero!
>>291299226He looks older than usually? Cuter?
>>291299290My heart dropped to my stomach for a second there. Right, he's immortal and simply goes back to hell.
>>291299348A little on the nose there, Satan.
>>291299310>>291299324>even with Belphegor gone the world's damage is entirely undone>Mikhail is still standing>meaning Lisa's mission was entirely subverted for the sake of birthing Satan into the worldLisakeks...not like this..........
Final Boss, eh?Chapter End.
>>291299405I'm rooting for him! God be damned!
So uh...who's going to bail out Josh now? Bel got slimed out, is he going to get a power boost from Dante dying?
>>291299436Imuri is Satan's daughter isn't she? Maybe the whore will finally do something that isn't selfish for once in her long, long life.
>>291299436>So uh...who's going to bail out Josh now?who the fuck else
>>291299436Josh is permanently depowered, anon. He can't get rage powerboosts like he used to. If he could, he would've done so when Mikhail died in front of him.But we DID see Josh's eye in Lisa's possession at the end of Part 6 and that hasn't come into play yet...
Our boy the pope will lead the damned soul to gospel and gives them new names that aren't crossed in the book of life
>>291299429The only damning that will happen is the one that Lucifer already saw when Satan tempted him.
>>291299033Whoops>>291299057Whoa, weirdly precise attack.>>291299108Is this just for style points? Because it's working.
>>291299272>>291299290>>291299310>>291299324Aw shit. But is the human population safe, or do they revert to being wiped out?
>>291299206I'm surprised he stays in child form. Was kind of looking forwards to seeing adult Satan.>>291299348But you caused the dead guy to get better. Still digging the smugness of Satan
>>291299532It was plugged before his fall so does thst mean it still has a connection to the divine?
>>291299805If you look at >>291299324 you can see all the buildings reverting back to normal. And Mikhail's still standing.I think Lisa would've been able to reverse the spell if she was able to get to him, but once she was done for he was able to complete the spell and negate the apocalypse entirely. Hence why Asmodeus was complaining at the beginning of this chapter.
>>291299911Oh yeah, definitely. I think in one of the extras the eye is referred to as a "holy relic" by the Church.On a thematic level, though, I'm not sure how strong of a decision Josh getting his powers back through the eye would be. His whole thing since the end of Pride was stepping down from his role and parting ways with his powers willingly so he can pursue a normal life. The wrath arc seemed to be exploring the consequences of that decision. It'd be a bit of a copout if he's able to recover his powers afterwards in my view.
>>291299108I see the parallel to the Darkness demon in CSM. This is a great way to ENTER into a scene.>>291299226At this point who can beat this guy besides God itself and maybe Lucifer if he showed up?>>291299272FUCK. Not best boy
>>291299503Well whatever Imuri does, I've come to accept that she's not dying at this point, she's getting away with everything.
>>291300187>and maybe Lucifer if he showed up?It's impossible for Lucifer to physically appear right?
>>291299226yawn
>>291300319>one of the manga tweets advertised Lisa's apocalypse as the "Seven Days of Ruin">each day is dedicated to a certain demon lord and the Part they starred in>we're only on Day 5I don't even think this is the final fight. I imagine Satan's gonna fuck off and we'll go into Day 6 to see what Lucifer's up to.
>>291300319I don't think so. Lucifer isn't even fallen if I remember the reveal of his Gehenna correctly so he isn't bound by the rules of incarnation. Plus, he has never died once since he rebelled against God so he doesn't have a respawn timer. The only thing holding Lucifer back is his adherence to his belief that God's plan is immutable. It's the paradox of omniscience and free will. He could do things differently but he's choosing not too because he believe the route has already been laid out in front of him and opts to follow it.
>>291300392You got all that backwards. Lucifer is convinced that he can change things, that things will turn out differently due to protagonist power, so he insistently does what he wants to do the most instead of adapting and trying something else.He is in a weird state of being fallen and kinda not simultaneously because his intention is to defy God but he goes about that by doggedly doing exactly what God planned for him, entirely out of charitable motivations of trying to improve things for everyone regardless of the cost to himself. He's retained his full angelic power since he will only ever use it with good intentions and according to god's will, but he's an idiot who can't see that his rebellion is a joke.
>>291300392>he believe the route has already been laid out in front of him and opts to follow it.Not exactly. I think his belief is that he thinks he can break out of God's plan and disrupt it if he tries hard enough, but he's so fixated on his own plan to beat God (his "evolution" of demons) that he never uses that power to actually do something that would knock the fated path off its course. He's just been hunkering down in his Gehenna this whole time while the world passes him by.Basically what >>291300539 said
>>291299436Lucifer hasnt been doing shit. It's gonna be his moment.
>>291298953Ntr manga...
WHERE IS THE BIG GWHY IS HE STILL CHILLING UP IN THE SKYI DON'T KNOW IF I CAN STILL TRUST THE PLAN
>>291300590Okay? Go read an NTR manga then, we're here reading about angels, demons and god's plan and shit.
>>291300539>Lucifer is convinced that he can change thingsI think the conclusion to his arc and how he talks does not support this. He still goes through the motions of trying to convince Joshua to his side and all. And even executes his plan. But he's fully aware that everything would be futile and he went through the motions exactly as his understanding of the divine plan went. He follows the script instead of trying to deviate from it, which is the paradox. >>291300574Same as above. I think Lucifer got mindbroken when he perceived the divine plan and his method of handling that was to ironically follow the track instead of truly rebelling against it. Even his plan to evolve demons and subsequently humans is exactly what he predicted based on the plan and it's failure also was fortold. It's still the paradox of free will vs omniscience when treating the latter as deterministic. If God knows everything that is going to happen, does Lucifer even have a choice in the matter? If he doesn't than nothing he does is ever not accounted for, even his pseudo-fallen status. Which might mean that his role in the grand scheme of things requires him to still be angelic for later events. Or maybe, if free will can existI can't speak for Catholics but as a Protestant I was raised on the idea that even if we don't adhere to God's plans for our lives, we are still able to route back onto them. It is similarly possible to be on track and fall off it. Lucifer is in that category if the logic holds within the series. He needs to stop following the road he believe is inevitable and make an actual choice for himself because right now he really isn't.
>>291299379Cute Leah...
>>291300646Have faith.
>>291300681Yeah, he goes through the motions according to the script, but he explicitly and repeatedly states that it's because he really believes that THIS TIME, unlike every other time, he'll be able to try hard enough to derail the script.Remember, he represents Pride. He isn't deliberately submitting to god or accepting his will, he's defined by sheer arrogance, in this case being so convinced that he's the super-special shounen protagonist that will win and make a world better than god through his fiery will that he will. not. learn. Because to learn first you have to be able to understand that you were wrong, not just in conclusion but in deeper ways that need to be changed, and he cannot do that.You're trying to fit him into a trope that he is actually the direct mirror opposite of.
>>291300692She just wants this shit to be over and done with so she can sit in her cuck chair and watch Lisa and Imuri.
>>291300681Lucifer basically keeps looking at God's plan and going "Nah, I'd win."Despite having a losing streak like six trillion rounds long.
>>291300787>but he explicitly and repeatedly states that it's because he really believes that THIS TIME, unlike every other time, he'll be able to try hard enough to derail the script.That is contradicted by the outcome being exactly what the plan always was. How he feels about his actions doesn't change the fact that he knew the exact moment God would directly intervene on his attempt at evolution. Basically, he knew thousands of years ago he would fail to convince Josh to join him, and fail to enact his plan. And he did nothing different. If he had, he might have not initiated his plan for evolution as that was a major point of disagreement between him and josh. And then he would have increased his chances of gaining an ally in the strongest priest on Earth. Once again, the issue of his pride doesn't detract from the fact that he didn't deviate from the script. His insanity about it is his only true failing and if he's going to show up now. It's either because he'll have foretold that he would show up later on, or he stops adhering to the script. So far it's still up in the air if his prediction about Baba yaga will be wrong because the mass casualty event he warned about was averted by Belphagor (josh still lost his V card to Imuri). But now that the snail is gone maybe it will further prove that God's plan is still in effect.
>>291299206>>291299226too bad he is in his child form
>>291299436maybe Heaven will finally do something
>>291301039Didn't they send a few angels against Beezlebub and they jobbed?
>>291300887NTA but I think it's important to remember that Lucifer only was able to swipe a fragment of a copy of the Plan when he fell. So it could be that even if he tries to do something to prevent a certain event along the chain from coming to pass, his actions ultimately result in that event happening like in a Greek prophecy. After millennia of trying to subvert the prophecy and fail, he's basically been consumed by his desire to break free from fate, forming the delusional belief that he alone will be able to save the world from God's clutches if he works towards the future he wants to see even with the knowledge that his actions are accounted for in the Plan. He's the strongest being in the manga and yet he's doomed himself to eternally fight a force he can't beat, fate itself.
>>291300646>>291301039>>291301086I think Heaven being mostly absent from the story is to show that God and Heaven aren't fighting directly from up on high but through the faith that the humans who believe in him have. The angels themselves each likely stand on the same level of at least Lucifer, but they don't directly interfere because they act on God's will, using the humans like Mother Rosa as a conduit to enact that power against the demons.I think it's on the same logic as why instead of God just going down to Hell and bombing the shit out of it, he had Jesus defeat Satan his way. I think God wants humanity to overcome Hell themselves through their own strength instead of just stepping in and doing the job for them.
>>291300887>he did nothing different.>he didn't deviate from the script.Yes, not because he believes he can't, but because he believes he doesn't have to. That he'll win through despite all evidence to the contrary because he's just that amazing.He does not believe he is predestined. It doesn't matter how obvious that fact is to you, he will not accept the evidence because he believes he's above the evidence.
>>291298953So when does Jesus come down from heaven with his angels and put an end to this shit?
>>291300574>>291300681Lucifer knowing the future is part of God's plan. He can't deviate from his destiny because those are the choices he as an individual has decided on at that point in time (while having meta knowledge).What is going to happen has already been determined, but the choices made are still the result of an individual (biological algorithm) which was created by countless causes and effects and outputs predictable information.I really suck at this but I hope I got my point across
>>291299379>leviathan despite jobbing was the "biggest hurdle" to Satanand yet I don't see Satan getting any injuries after defeating her.
>>291299179Yes I'm very tired of woman moments and faggot moments.
>>291299033>>291299057>>291299086>>291299108This seems appropriately evil and metal.
>>291302461>satan>not a faggotAnon...
>>291302051Yeah that's what I thnk "God's Plan" is as well. God, being the source of all life, knows exactly what everybody will do at any given point at time.
>>291299206>>291299226Thank satan he is stil la shota
>>291301938Isn't that on the 7th day of the apocalypse or something like that? I think we're on day 5 depending on how Belphegor's shenanigans impacted it.
>>291299348>Don't you just hate that trope where someone who's is supposed to be dead comes back lifeIs it just me or is Satan still assblasted that Jesus resisted his temptations? Sorta sounds like he's still mad.
>>291299206the only good part tof this dogshit arc
>>291305223Him saying this while breaking the cross in his fingers is probably part of that lol.
>>291305223He does go out of his way to pick up up and break the nearest cross.
>>291299405So boss fight phase 2 is starting after the mandatory phase change cutscene
>>291301938That would be a terrible idea considering that his return is essentially the end of times
>>291300646
>>291299108Trying to NUKE the animators wrist, I see.>>291299206>>291299226ENTER SATAN
>>291299206>>291299226Incarnates in child form, shit is there going to be a phase 3?
>>291300590Fuck off zoomer.
>>291299523Jesus can do that?!
>>291311289JoJo SBR is a wild ride
>>291311439And you missed its greatest meme apparently.
>>291300539Why are Lucifer and Satan separate characters again?
>>291311860Plot convenience, most of the sins should be just Satan.
>>291311860Because it's based on the seven deadly sins, which is 100% fanfic.
>>291298986Kid Dracula looking ass.
>>291299272Rip the realest nigga around.
>>291299405Can't wait for my main man Lucifer (Sex) to show up and save us desu.
>>291312544He really does look like a stock shonen hero
>>291309792God is real and is mighty to save here though.
>>291312544How big you reckon his cock is bros?
>>291299206El Diablo...
>>291299348Kek he's still seething at Jesus
>>291300646Trust the fucking plan
>>291299566Jesus did that in Catholic Canon didn't he? To save those from before he came?
>>291317354Something like that yes, but I think that happens in other interpretations of scripture too.
>Hmmm yes impregnate the misandrist with myself
>>291321081Devilish!
>>291315437>there is a nonzero chance that The Christ will be shown in Satan's flashbackKINO INBOUND
>>291312544Look like laios
