Devil Number 4
*Contains Spoilers*
This whole webtoon was a roller-coaster ride. I cried over this webtoon. Truly a masterpiece and my top favorite webtoons of all time. The connection between Number 4 and Hanna is really something. Finding out that Number 4 and Hanna knew each other in Hanna’s past life is something. They really had me in the ending. I didn’t think they were going to make it out alive together. The most stressful part was Number 4 being knocked out for a solid 10 years. I thought he had died for some reason or that God turned him into an Angel.
Peace and Sejoon (Number 3) as a couple is really cute. The whole thing with Peace and God was a very interesting story arc. I really enjoyed watching Peace give Number 3 a name as well. Peace telling Hanna about Angels (84). Peace is the first mutation that God created. Every Angel is a vessel of God. Angels are born with a part of God. Peace knew that she was different because she looked different from everyone else. God told her that her purpose was to soothe the feelings of God who became a human. She proceeded to cry about the fact that she killed God. Peace started living life with Yurim. Peace and Sejoon meet each other for the first time a little bit after Yurim dies. Later on, Peace soothes Number 3 feelings because all of his helpers were all killed by Angels. I believe that Peace comforting Number 3 was a turning point. Peace was created to soothe God’s feelings so in turn when Peace soothed Sejoon’s feelings and God showed up later to let Pease know that Love comes with a cost and that Peace will regret not dying. This showed that God was jealous that Peace was comforting someone that wasn’t God and that Peace willingly chose to be with Number 3 and not God. When Number 3 died, Peace waited years for Number 3 to reappear just so they could be together again.
Mika stabbing God caught me off guard. All I could think about was God has now been stabbed twice. Once by Peace and once by Mika. Mika was never punished for killing God just like Peace was also not punished for killing God. I thought Mika was going to turn into a Devil because they/them killed God. Then God talking to Hanna in her mind was really weird that God took on Hanna’s human body form. Hanna basically committing suicide in that episode really shook me to my core. Hanna really loves Number 4 so it was interesting to see God and Hanna talking about what God gives Hanna and that God loves her. But I don’t think God loves Hanna romantically. I think this is more of a parent who loves their child.
Number 2 used to be an angel really changed the game. When we finally met Devil Number 1 who is the Devil Master, Ruler of the Underworld, and the First Angel that God ever created(108). Number 1 changed into an older person was confusing for me when Number 2 was taken away to live in the Underworld and pay for her crimes.
Number 4 and his Angel form talking to each other and exploring Number 4′s subconscious and the memories of when he first met Hanna as an Angel. The Angel version of Number 4 told him about his mistakes and why he became a Devil in the first place. Number 4 reliving his past life before he became a Devil was really sad.
Number 1 (Devil Master) told Number 4 that the reason why Devils who are given lower numbers are different because they were Angels who abandoned their duty and are known as betrayers and atoners of God.
Joon-won Lee was actually my least favorite character and I know I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for it. I did like the backstory that he was Hanna’s ‘company’ in their previous life, but I just think that he kept inserting himself in Hanna’s life. I know he likes her, but what if Joon is suppose to like Hanna because that is what God willed him to do? I think that Joon should be able to make connections with other women that's not based on a previous life that not longer exists. I just think Joon should have had the freedom to be with someone who was going to reciprocate the same feelings back and be controlled by God. It’s not fair that Joon was used in this whole ordeal. I do believe that he deserved better and Hanna was never going to reciprocate feelings to Joon anyway. Hanna in the beginning of the story was emotionally closed off with other people. I didn’t think she was able to form romantic feelings in the first place, but she caught feelings for Number 4, probably the way God might have intended to happen.
