I saw Hataraku Maou-sama!! on the schedule and was so excited I re-watched the first season. Based on the title "The Devil is a Part-Timer", an evil overlord who works for McDonalds(MgRonald) I expected a slap stick comedy I would probably drop, but gave it a shot. It was well worth the watch as it contained some great character development and introspection.

It was just like the recently aired Paripi Koumei(Ya Boy Kongmin!), where based on the description "historical fantasy timeslip comedy" you wouldn't expect to attach yourself to the characters, but they grow as well. Sure there are the lighter moments, but they just add to the fun.

Then I saw this:

This looks like a disaster, 3 Demons and a Baby, what are they thinking? This will destroy the whole fraternal dynamic. Why don't they just turn the show & light novels into a daycare? Just to say it again, what are they thinking?

As far as I can tell she is the definitely new main antagonist. Not a new protagonist.

Yeah, I looked into it a bit and found out they foreshadowed it a bit in Part 1. Apparently it’s a whole “4 Horseman” kinda thing. Good shit, can’t wait for more.

My message got messed up previously. My bad lol
But yeah it was foreshadowed in chapter 84. Makima mentions Chainsaw Man ate the Nuclear devil and erased nukes. So, The new antagonist, The War Devil, now wants the nuclear devil back. Due to the fear of war being reduced without nukes. Which lowers her power.

You know when I see this type of comment I wonder what kind of world do americans exist.
That is quite realistic to happen. It happened at my school when I was sixteen, my math teacher was banging one of the female students in a car when the police knocked in the door.
He had to leave the school and for the first time ever I passed the math classes without any trouble since the new teacher just didn't gave a fuck about it lol
and the funniest shit is that it was just some line, it wasn't even shown or anything like that, super tame shit.

To these people, context doesn’t matter; the very fact that the piece of media includes it, even in a villainous/antagonistic context, is an endorsement. These are the same smooth brains that, when they couldn’t legislate verboten themes out of movies and print and games, they went after people’s livelihood instead. A fascinating example of this is the Strugatsky brothers getting Roadside Picnic published under the Soviets. It wasn’t that the story itself was anti-Commjnist, it was the fact that there were “distasteful elements”, even ones aimed at the idealogical enemy of the Party, that hindered its publication.

I'll be fair that for this scene specifically that revelation doesn't add anything at all and kinda feels there for edginess sake (especially since I got the impression the heroine is pretty ugly being the social outcast).
Doesn't excuse the usual moral faggotry.

Ehh, it gave her at least half an excuse for making a contract with a devil with the briefest setup possible. There a better excuses of course but basically none that can be shit out in a single line in a breakneck speed chapter like that.

To be honest I'd rather prefer to have more manga without sexual themes than having a huge ton of manga with useless horny shit and "fan service" in it.

Imo at least in Fujimoto's case, it'd be an awful idea. One of the reasons his work is cool (imo) is because his reckless sort of style.
Mixing and switching around concepts involving the taboo, ultraviolence, cinema, etc in a unique and almost silly sort of way.
Santizing it would take all the life out. (Though I do hope he doesn't go overboard with it.)
