The new stage of the narrative begins shortly after the confrontation with Fakesaw Man, when Yoru attacks a civilian without hesitation. Denji, shocked, reacts with revulsion and confronts his companion's actions. In response, Yoru mocks her and claims she's the only woman he needs, signaling not only the end of a partnership but the beginning of a new internal conflict between the protagonists.
End of partnership reveals change of direction in the plot
Yoru's decision to act independently, without considering the consequences, makes it clear that his relationship with Denji has become unsustainable. The emotional rift between the two promises to alter the course of the story, which may now take a darker path. The violent interaction also reinforces the characters' mental instability, especially as external threats advance.
Besides the rift between the protagonists, the plot prepares to shift its focus to the Death Devil, a figure expected to gain prominence in the next chapter. The villain, possibly reunited with the Falling and Famine entities, observes the destruction caused by her actions and may initiate a new phase of the plan she's been hatching.
As the story progresses, readers must follow the psychological impact of Denji and Yoru's breakdown. The emotional consequences of this breakup could directly influence Denji's future decisions, putting him on a collision course with even more dangerous forces. The growing presence of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse also foreshadows more intense confrontations in the coming chapters.
