WAR, VERSUS, CHAINSAW

[dolche-tejada]

A lot of thoughts on this last chapter but I must say the implications on these two panels currently run free in my head.

Yoru's ability works only on what she sees as "things" she owns. Which means she was able to turn her own children into weapons precisely because they are her children, and thus already belong to them in her mind.

And she didn't just turn them into weapons but literally as parts of herself. Just like a lot of parents irl consider their children as an extension of themselves on whom they have a right of property.

In only three pages, almost no lines and without even seeing Yoru directly interact with the Gun and Tank Devil, we learn everything we had to know on her relation with her family.

Fujimoto and his love for twisting motherhood

[pockethep]

It’s messing with my head how she really is doing that “Come to mommy” pose. With her arms outstretched and kneeling (almost to be at eye level), like she’s reaching to hug a small child.

Which when you think about war makes sense. Sacrificing everything, even children, for the sake of victory.

[sugar-grigri]

If devils that contribute to the fear of another devil are considered to be their "children" then...

If all devils fear the same devil and contribute to its power….

Then… this devil's the real mother.

And the hell. His children.

Destined to enter and leave his womb.

After all, it all starts with a "mother" who witnesses the death of his child.

And he decides to devour the whole world to fill the void.

jesus christ. ostensibly to free her comrades, but really to assert her dominance over another party because she feels threatened and emasculated - war sacrifices her children. fujimoto I’m buying you a drink
