I agree. To me it looked like all those hits Oga landed on Takamiya after he unveiled his new skill were thanks to Takamiya and Lucifer being taken off guard by his sudden spike in power. Also, with that move Oga threw down the proverbial gauntlet, so if the fight was allowed to progress Takamiya would have probably decided to stop playing around with Oga and regrouped with Lucifer in order to bring out the big guns.

Then the author would have probably needed to show several chapter of them one upping each other with their powers, until Oga finally comes out on top, which, let's face it, is way too mainstream for Beelzebub. This way, Oga will be able to bulldoze Takamiya without giving him the chance to access any one winged angel forms he might have stored away.

Plus, I like the whole gambit because it showcases Himekawa's 'unique' brand of loyalty to Oga which gained him his King's Crest (that is, he's willing to go to any lengths to stack to decks in Oga's favour, but refuses to be seen outright charging to Oga's aid like Aoi and Kazaki do) and cements his role in Baby Beel's inner court as the 'spymaster' (in contrast to Aoi's second-in-command/bodyguard role, Furuichi's tactician role and Kanzaki and Tojo's warrior roles). Not to mention it really shows how Beel has grown as a demon, both power wise and personality wise.

Chapter out.

Meh. Wait, is Hilda off doing something? I just realized I have no idea what she's been doing for quite some time now.

Chapter out. Nothing of note until the last few pages.

well that's one way to make an entrance line

I have to congratulate Saotome for saying exactly what the audience was thinking, there.

I wanted to be sarcastic about the new chapter (it's out, by the way) but then much to my dismay it turned out I actually liked it after reading it.

Well, that was certainly unexpected. Who could've thought Louise Cyphre would do something like that...

He's right, isn't he Char? Then you should help me revive the Zabi Dynasty! Afterwards we can think about the world together!

Beelze-bump.

I like this chapter as well, but I'm a Furuichi fan.

This series really is better when it comes to comedy.

Woah Nene is loaded.

I hope there's a better reason for why she can do that than 'just because.' She's barely done anything.

There's not really much of a reason why Oga is as strong as he is either.

Yes there is. He draws on the power of a demon. Planting someone into a wall is a standard joke. Kicking a demon in the face and knocking it out without any apparent power to draw upon nor any known special techniques is something else.

I don't see how this is different from the other guy. What's-his-face. Works in construction.

Shrug. It just seems silly. Especially since Toujou gets beaten up a lot plus fighting and training constantly when not working.

Oh well. Not a big deal anyway.

Maybe she has a crest too, proving that deep down inside she really does care for her bro— HAHAHAHA

Well, apart from hints of cannibalism, nothing nothing that interesting until the end. An alliance, but more importantly, Hilda is back. Whee.
