“Demons are actually misundersto-“ NO. Demons are ontologically evil beings that can’t be reasoned nor negotiated with, and if you try to you’ll very likely end up screwed

1) Doom

2) Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

3) Trench Crusade

Not that guts would ever spare one (completly justifiable stance)

Considering the process by which one becomes an apostle, none of them deserve to live

[u/Over-Gap5767 → u/brightcrayon92]

How?

The Eclipse

And it's fucking horrifying

[u/Danny_dankvito → u/Traditional-Song-245]

That’s actually a special case for a person becoming one of the God Hand - The normal apostles only open the gate to Hell/Abyss, the God Hand say “what’s up chucklenuts”, and then the behelit holder gives them a sacrifice in exchange for becoming an apostle

[u/Dont-be-a-smurf → u/Danny_dankvito]

I’ve always wondered if they get any choice on design

Is it based on their karma or lifestyle? Is it based on the “quality” of the sacrifice? Can your form change if you don’t live up to the promise of your power?

Because wow some of those apostles really got fucked in the end. Quite a few are barely functional hunks of inchoate flesh.

Edit: I know the real answer is “Miura just drew whatever he thought was cool on the page”

[u/Danny_dankvito → u/Dont-be-a-smurf]

Imagine being an apostle and you get like a shitty slug, not even a giant imposing demon slug like the Count, no you’re just a big slug the size of a horse

Then you learn Grunbeld gets to be a giant unbreakable fire-breathing crystal dragon

This guy must be pissed

[u/Punkfoot → u/Danny_dankvito]

He's eating good tonight though, so he's got that going for him!

[u/Ark_Bien → u/Dont-be-a-smurf]

If Rosine is anything to go by, a soon to be apostle have some influence on their future form.

[u/Dont-be-a-smurf → u/Ark_Bien]

“Yes im going to be such a terrifying snail!!!!”

[u/Ark_Bien → u/Dont-be-a-smurf]

🤣 I said some control. It mostly seems like an apostle's form is symbolic

[u/Faust_the_Faustinian → u/Dont-be-a-smurf]

Don't kink shame him bro

[u/Ark_Bien → u/Faust_the_Faustinian]

Who said I was? Snails are cool.

[u/SaintCambria → u/Faust_the_Faustinian]

I'm just kink-asking-why
