I lost it when she actually sing the national anthem lmao

 

[skywardgem]

Yoru weeping over the birth of nuclear weapons was already killer imagery but having her shout her love for America and blaring the anthem over images of scorched bodies getting lined up is about as heavy handed as you can get in the best way, Fujimoto’s that guy lol

If Yoru’s a horseman, America’s her trusty steed… wonder if Death needs Denji to be that for her too now…….

 

[dadoom]

Insert "America, Fuck yeah" song here!

Looking at the Mangaplus comments, I don't understand why everyone's so eager to presume Fujimoto's making some political commentary.

What would it even be? "Le America made le bombs, which are le bad and kill le people"? "America revolutionized the war industry"? That's not really "political commentary"-- that's a banal factual statement.

Because ever since 9/11 American foreign policy and external identity has been defined in opposition to violent terrorism and rogue states (who are le rogue because they kill le people).

This conflation of America with War and Death completely flipped the script on American identity,at least for those guys who live in the shadow of the interventionist muscular national image of the 2000s

If you can even call it a conflation, it was done using nuclear weapons being dropped on the Soviet Union, in the late 1990s of an alt-history timeline.

That, and most of the people trying to pull this "political commentary" idea were probably born after 9/11.

Yep its very much for people who grow up in the crazy ahh atmosphere of the Bush era and doesn't have a more nuanced image of their country

Nukes, Yoru? That's weak shit if you're tapping into America's power. Devils get their power from fear. Call in the Rent Devil, or the Healthcare Devil. Then you'll be a powerhouse.

What about immigration devil? Just from a word, some shit their pants.

Am I tripping mad balls or something

"I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards."

No joke though, I love this. The USA being the biggest source of power for the war devil is extremely on point. I wonder if there's a USA devil somewhere.
