So am i the only one who thinks Makima has deliberately manipulated Aki to join, knowing the risks and maybe even what will happen, just for this demon to appear ? more and more i have this impression shes like playing chess with her teams lives for her own interests

and ofc i cant help wanting to know more about her. probably she wanted Denji to confront it. I m wondering too, how/why Denji will kill them, will he be manipulated by some power, or maybe they will be manipulated, or he will be in those kind of situations where he will have to kill them (like Rin/kakashi in Naruto, sorry only reference that comes to my mind) Feel so bad for Aki, hes going to join the operation knowing what will happen, and worse, knowing the future is "absolutely unavoidable" that he cant do anything (assuming his predition happens, unless he find a way, which i doubt). If the author kills Aki and Power, i have no hope for anyone else to survive, at the end, except Makima and denji.
Other thing that worries me, already mentioned it, is the power levels, we keeps meeting absolutely powerful characters, and then its implied that the one that will appear is the most feared (aka poweful) demon ever, then what next ? the way its mentioned, sounds as if it were the finale boss while we re still at the beginning of the manga, and i m uneasy with this, i dont think the series is that close to ending, i do have issues with this power levels scale, especially after seeing santa, halloween, etc.) I admit if the authors kills Power, he really has guts, Aki did have anyway a deathflag for a long time but Power...
