this is soo in character for asa like…. shes always concerned with what shes done wrong, why these things happen to her, if her life is even worth it!!! she really has like an extreme moralization to her character (which is sooo opposite of denji if we wanted to get analytical about it) and i loved this little moment because it’s very her to hear him say that and really wonder.

recurring door motif: for asaden it signifies recognition of those they've harmed. while denji is nudged towards opening the door by makima & overturns ignorance -> horror, asa opens it by herself & reconciles with yuko (seeing her devil form as a person).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
family as theme shrouds csm & kobeni's moment with denji provides much needed catharsis / upsets his existing Dream and family. kishibe brings denji & kobeni into the room / closes the door & withdraws her from Family Burger, the horror she wants to escape. for nobana meanwhile the door is an Exit towards home & family. the difference between the higashiyamas is palpable especially when considered alongside how asaden's guilt functions re: family. denji's door (the family he tries to suppress), asa's tripping (the family she tried to retain).

Is Nail Fiend actually the Curse Devil?
It was awesome to see the Nail Fiend (and Katana Man) return this chapter
Tumblr media
Back when the Nail Fiend was first introduced, a common theory has been that rather than being possessed by the Nail Devil, they are actually the fiend-ified Curse Devil. Opinions on this theory seem to be pretty divided, and since the Nail Fiend is coming back into the spotlight with this latest chapter, I felt it would be worthwhile to make a post re-evaluating this theory in its entirety.
Tumblr media
The main reason for this theory is that the Curse Devils choice of weapon is a nail, just like the fiend's, with both Aki and Santa Claus needing to pierce their victims with a nail to trigger the Curse Devil's attack
Tumblr media
In addition, the Curse Devils attack takes the form of a crucifixion, and when the "Nail Fiend" debuts, they hang up the church schoolkids with nails in a crucifix position.
Tumblr media
There's also the fact that a Nail Devil doesn't really seem like they'd be that powerful at all under CSM's fear based system, and considering that fiends have a further reduction in power compared to devils, the speed and competence that the "Nail fiend" shows could be considered unreasonably powerful for just representing the concept of nails.
You could argue that the Nail Devil also represents the hammer and nail curse ritual (Ushi no toki mari) to give a reason for its power, but the Curse devil already clearly takes inspiration from that. It would be incredibly redundant to make the Nail Devil just represent the exact same thing as the Curse Devil, and it would make more sense to just re-use that devil, it's not like Fujimoto has had a problem with reintroducing devils from Part 1.
Tumblr media
The main counterargument for this theory that I have seen is the fact that the fiend's introduction chapter was named "Guns, Nails, Katana", with people arguing that because the chapter title uses the word "Nail" that the fiend must then must be the Nail Fiend.
I don't think this argument really holds any weight, the chapter had "Nails" in the title because the fiend used a bunch of nails and the chapter title was describing what happened in the chapter. It's like how the "Guns" in the title refers to how the chainsaw church followers used a bunch of guns, not that they were contracted with the Gun Devil. If anything the title "Guns, Curse, Katana" would be really strange and out of place, because it would be revealing something that wasn't actually revealed in the chapter itself.
At the end of the day this theory is still unconfirmed though, and we'll really just have to wait until we see the Nail Fiend show off a bit more of their powers before we can really call it one way or the other. Though I am definitely hoping to see some curse action in the upcoming chapters.
Tumblr media
Also: if they really are the Curse Fiend, then them being paired up with Katana Man is pretty funny, considering they straight up murdered him in Part 1. This fact doesn't really affect the likeliness of the theory, but I think it's pretty neat.
