I knew that Henri's decision regarding Merize was an extremely difficult one, and that the portal could only open if it was a human. I also wonder if Knightwalker would make his next move in the next chapter.

And the reason Henri asks Marta for help to take Merize to the human world is because Henri doesn't feel able to do it.

Sad chapter but is no one gonna talk about the fact that Human bodies apparently breakdown the longer they stay in the demon world? What’s happening to Iruma!?

Wait a minute, if the influence of the underworld gradually damages and weakens humans, then why is Iruma perfectly fine? Ugh, what is it about Iruma that makes him different from the rest? It seems to me that the theories that Iruma might be half-demon, the vessel for Delkira's soul, or even his reincarnation are gaining traction.
Is it the ring he wears (Alikred)? Keep in mind the ring gained more powers as Iruma was promoted. Said ring infused with demon power also grants Iruma powers far beyond the norm. The past few chapters also implies Sullivan pulled some (or many) strings behind the scene to adopt/bring Iruma over.
... Speaking of which, when was the last time Iruma got his ring recharged by Sullivan? He has been "exhausted" physically, but not a word was mentioned of his ring needing to be recharged for a long time.
At this point, Iruma and his ring are the biggest known wild card(s) to us readers. And for readers who have not been paying attention about why the ring is significant...
simply read "Alikred" name in reverse (in Japanese Katakana)

I'm now curious about why we haven't actually seen Kushi-Nashi at all in the political gatherings. What this arc has shown us is her role as a "substitute" demon king. We know she lost against Delkiras and we know there are the "3 greats" and "13 crowns" below the 3 greats... yet not a word of her was mentioned since her loss to Delkiras in Mephisto's flashback (c. 358)... and no mention of her activities since Iruma's arrival.
But she has single-handedly made all the decisions involving the first human living in the demon realm in centuries or millennia before Iruma's arrival. It is even more strange to think that she isn't/wasn't involved in putting forth a demon king candidate. Remember the 3 greats and the 13 crowns can nominate/back their own candidates to become the next demon king... So what became of Kushinashi, who is suddenly revealed to be a VIP in Delkira's absence?
I still have a hunch that we might still get some explanation in this arc how Kushinashi is no longer here in the present.

Quick speculation, maybe Merize is the author of Hatsukoi Memory, which is based on her own romantic experience with Henri, and she sends the manga somehow to Henri as sort of a letter whenever a new volume release. Though if she could do that, idk why dont she just send a normal letter

Personally, and this is just my opinion, I don't think it's a good idea to send her to the human world in this state, to be honest, we only a few good person in the world we living not not so different than underworld just that they have magic and we don't, it cruel alright, not like a lot of people will see a person laying around in a dark alley let along call for help, they just continue their work and don't care about the world, let along a woman, unless after the door open she got send into hospital bed like straight in for people to help, or she get back her strength after return but do i mentioned that she just give birth not so long ago? Standing straight already a problem.
Counter-Point: Your opinion came off as incredibly inattentive for a reader of this manga's world-building.

Merize simply cannot stay in the demon world, dead or alive. Had she remained, she would have continued to suffer and likely become a victim of human-hunting/eating demons. In case you haven't paid attention, we know demons can become frenzied in the presence of human blood - with unknown consequences if they consume human meat and bones (let's not forget the crazed demon that is Iruma's destined enemy).
The demon(s) making the decision to send Merize back did not make the decision out of compassion (most demons simply do not know nor understand the idea of compassion). But the decision was made simply out of their own self-interest in preserving the status quo and for the sake of stability. Henri Azazel was a one-of-a-kind demon in which his own bloodline power overcame his innate demon's desire to consume human being (now if Merize not been a woman... well, let's not go there :oops:).

Cynicism and pessimism is fine IMO (I'm quite cynical myself), but the alternative of not sending Merize back to the human world very likely have been chaotic for the demon world. One could cynically say the demons made the decision to dump a dying woman back to her human world to avoid a massive fallout of keeping Merize around in the demon world.
On your last statement, if you paid attention, the demons providing the care already applied their magic and whatnot as much as they can on Merize based on what they knew at the time (she certainly didn't seem to be in pain and all her limbs are intact). So my best guess from the current reading thus far is Merize as a normal human cannot breathe demon world air for long. Kind of like the best athletes and healthiest person ain't gonna live much if they're trying to breath in areas with 200+ Air Pollution Index.

Thus Henri knew he had no other options and concluded (in tears) that sending Merize back was the only chance she has at surviving.

A chapter that made me cry from start to finish, poor Henry.
Interesting insights from the chapter, so as some have speculated, despite being a hybrid, is Ameri biologically a 100% demon? Or will we see in the future that somehow her human side plays a role? When the portal opened, she was able to see the human world, so perhaps she could actually pass through it?
The statement that only humans can use the portal raises two very important questions:
1) It's been stated that before Iruma and Ameri, anyone who entered the space between the two worlds never came back, so what happened to them?
2) How did Derkila manage to pass through it? So perhaps he too was actually human?

I feel like all these concerns about how dangerous it is for Merize to be sent into the human world while pregnant are kinda moot, since staying for her means death. Possible problems with her transfer will just get handwaved probably (otherwise that would be just piling up more drama upon drama).

After a lot of people have brought it up.

Seriously, READ the posts before you write such crap.
Rude, but true. Seems like people instantly jump in to write about "their" theories, without even skimming through the thread.

:meguuusad:...I assume that bit of info is how Ameri learns that Iruma is a human
I wonder if Henri knows Iruma is a Human, and will drop the bomb on Ameri. I dont remeber if they told the border patrol if Iruma touched the portal.
Sigh, that's gonna repeat each chapter until they both spell it out without being visually surprised, isn't that?... :wooow:

Ameri suspected Iruma for his accomplishments since her appearance in chapter 9, and confirmed it when he recognized Hatsukoi Memory (re-read chapters 9-11).

Henri was introduced in chapters 23, where he suspected Sullivan for crossing the border (i think he was tipped off by someone, but i might be remembering wrong). He met Iruma in chapter 38 and was pretty confident that Iruma is a human (although, that was probably still an educated suspicion) - he tried to offer him a return to the human world, but Ameri cut them off.

Point is, right now they both are perfectly aware of Iruma being a human.

I thought that was confirmed that she wrote the manga and Iruma was her assistant? Was that a fan theory this whole time?
Still is, currently. But it's heavily implied.

Counter counter argument.
She is only the pupil of the orignal mangaka and took the work later
That's not an argument, that's just a theory :wowee:
