Demon characters are a bit harder with how many cool designs Demizu came up with.
The Grace Field Boss Demon only shows up at the beginning and end of the series (barring S2 teasing me by having him show up during the Cuvitidala Arc), but he's such an imposing figure in that initial appearance when the kids are the most vulnerable that he stands out to me, particularly with the tubing that looks like it's from a gas mask. Gives him a clinical feel.

Yverk has such a grand, regal bearing to him and one of the sickest mask designs.

I wish he got to be at the forefront more, but I can appreciate him as a constant background presence maintaining the status quo for over a millennia.
Bayon Sr. continues the trend of having one of the coolest mask designs, and I like how spindly he looks.
This page was so difficult to look at. But it makes sense that Isabella's arc would conclude with her dying for her children to help them survive, in place of her let them die for her own survival like she used to in the first arc.
This is last selfless and redemptive act, out of true love, not selfishness. This proves she doesn't simply want to be free, but truly regretful of her actions and wants to be a better mother. She might not completely forgive herself but probably has been redeemed in the eyes of her remaining children.
Look at these beautiful queens! Welcome back after a month hiatus!! Hope y’all doing okay! Gonna be rambling about the chapter here lolol, enjoy!
This scene of Emma dropping her gun just really felt like some strong imagery to me lol:
But after finishing the chapter... oh boy... rereading these panels is big yikes...
ALSO THAT HEAD PAT FROM RAY!!!! AMAZING!!!!
Both of them knew the dark secrets of the house at an early age, just Ray, empathizing with Phil just pleases me and gives me so many feels!!
I love how Sherry is like “Oh Emma and the others are here!! NORMAN TOO!!”
She is Norman’s number one fan, so cute!!
“Now we can just love them.”
^ This is such an amazing quote and just has so much power. Isabella is truly amazing and the mothers are no longer forced to give the children a false motherly-love. It’s so emotional seeing the mother of that house crying and wow I love this series so much akdlfjlskd
This version of Emma crying from Connie’s death is really powerful woah:
I also really appreciate we get to hear about how Emma felt during this whole journey. I don’t want people to think she was all optimistic and a repetitive “I know we can do this!!!” She doubted a lot of choices throughout her journey and still feels like she could’ve done better.
I love Yugo, Lucas, the kids from the Bunker Attack, Connie and Emma’s past siblings from Grace Field making more cameos here! Such wonderful shots and panels of everyone!
And then... your typical Shirai/Posuka moment of “Oh you guys are having a happy moment? Why don’t I just break it apart.”
Posuka’s one pagers are amazing bro... the demon page is just... *chef kiss* amazing
SO
EMMA GOES TO SAVE THE KIDS AND SHE JUST DIVES IN!!! AND IM SCREAMING AT THIS POINT!!!
(tumblr won’t let me use more images at this point, sorry)
And this just parallels the efffing stabbing at Goldy Pond! Man this is so effed up for Ray man....
This is just so cruel man... and while blood drips on Emma’s horrified face man... ughhhgfkjdalfv... I CAN’T
