Our story commences shortly after Denji triumphantly vanquishes the zombie devil and is discovered by Makima. However, unlike the original storyline, Denji doesn't immediately fall in love with Makima. Instead, he begins to harbor a deep dislike for her after she bluntly lays out the consequences: any attempt to escape or resign would result in his demise, leaving him with no choice but to remain under her control.

Denji is assigned to Aki's group, and their initial encounter unfolds much the same way as before. Aki still confronts Denji and delivers a beating, prompting a retaliatory response from Denji. No significant deviations from their original meeting occur.

The story proceeds as planned until their next encounter with Makima.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlReGAfFgOn
Aki and Denji are en route to the PSB under Makima's directive.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY35afQ3l7X
Denji: "I wonder why she's calling us in... Maybe it's for a mission or something?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ52RATLV4
Aki (Puffing on a cigarette): "I can't say for sure... We'll find out soon enough."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNKGVFre9h
In a matter of minutes, Aki and Denji reach the PSB headquarters. Aki casually flicks away his cigarette, and they proceed to Makima's office.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuoP7C3Qhn
Upon arrival, they are admitted into her office. Makima, sitting at her desk, greets them with a warm smile.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkeTepabo1
Makima: "Good morning."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFirYdz6pP
Aki and Denji: "Good morning, Miss Makima."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ7clrKPj1
Makima: "Thank you for coming. Aki, I've decided to assign you two new partners."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfn8Agzmbm
The scene shifts to the hallway, where two individuals are approaching Makima's office. Aki is taken aback by the statement but maintains his respectful demeanor.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOILjvVBpw
Aki: "With all due respect, ma'am, I already have my hands full with Denji. I'm not sure if I can handle any more."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8EMeDqF5j
Again, the scene transitions to the two individuals drawing closer to the door.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkf4xVB6sE
Makima: "Of course, Aki. You're more than capable. I have faith in you." She glances toward the door as the footsteps draw nearer. "Speaking of which, here they are now."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazw691BaRr
The door swings open forcefully, revealing both Super and Power.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwc3BgqQO5
Both (Enthusiastic): "Kneel, humans! You stand in the presence of Super and Power!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WBklm2JxX
Power points at Aki.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdRcwZ6Pu
Power: "Are you to be our new teammate?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmYGTqhuMI
Aki stands there, still trying to process the situation, while Denji wears a skeptical expression.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb6gTx720b
Denji: "Your names are Super and Power?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq4V7VvSvB
Super (Prideful): "Indeed, human! I crafted the name combination myself, showcasing the genius that I am!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmHU7TI4t
Power punches Super's shoulder and angrily retorts.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtZaa1kERp
Power (Annoyed): "No, you didn't! I'm the one who came up with it, you liar!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QukKSwmtM
Super (Irritated): "Nonsense! All you did was sit there and devour all the snacks in the break room!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM0mO1CVgo
Super and Power engage in a childish argument, bickering like toddlers fighting over a toy they'll only use once and then forget about for the next 15 years.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqsutKgnXl
Aki eventually processes the unusual situation and turns to Makima, who responds with a knowing smile. Aki lets out a sigh and starts to break a sweat.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXN0LK3vB7
Aki: "At least they don't have to stay at my place... Right?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8qGFwc5Iz
Makima remains silent as the cacophony of Super, Power, and Denji's argument rages on in the background. Her silence conveys a multitude of unspoken words, some of which imply, "Yes, these two are indeed going to be living with you." Aki lets out a resigned sigh before gathering the three unruly individuals and leading them out of the office.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PKvyAJjby
They all exit the building, and Aki comes to a halt, turning to face the trio.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCTJ2e8Dj
Aki (Lighting a cigarette): "Alright, you three... I've got a meeting with some of my teammates. Your task is to patrol the city and eliminate any devils you come across."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuxAmjiAdX
Aki takes a puff of his cigarette before directing his gaze at Denji.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G88tB2Fv1
Aki: "Denji, you know the way to the apartment complex. If it gets late and I haven't returned, make sure to bring them back to the apartment. Understand?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtSm3SJyu
Denji: "Yep, got it."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5LsZwi8g4
Aki nods in acknowledgment and sets off in his own direction. Denji turns to Super and Power, who are currently engrossed in playing with a line of ants trailing towards a piece of food.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeANK5q7HFG
Denji: "Can you two knock it off? We've got some devil hunting to do."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh34BEsZW3U
Super (Distracted): "Yeah, yeah, just a sec..."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1IrDdSV0p
Power (Amused): "Look at them! So eager for such measly bits of food!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xh9cq5Rv0
They both chuckle, clearly enjoying themselves, while Denji sighs, realizing he needs to motivate them to work. Then an idea strikes him.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MIQoGlXpG
Denji: "How about we make it a competition? Whoever can eliminate the most devils wins a prize from Aki!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMehs0mIbK
Super and Power immediately snap to attention and eagerly agree to the idea. Denji breathes a sigh of relief, and the three of them set off on their mission to hunt down devils.
After a few minutes, the trio finds themselves on the rooftop of a building, still on the hunt for devils to eliminate. Denji, growing increasingly frustrated, lets out an annoyed sigh, feeling as though they may never come across any devils.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFwYiMUgd7
Denji (Annoyed): "This is getting ridiculous. There don't seem to be any devils around here. What are we supposed to do?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv1h4an3k0
Power (Prideful): "My apologies. In my devil days, I was the most feared of them all. They likely sensed my presence and fled in fear."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3acfYyi3qY
Super punches Power on the back of her head.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsV9cJtKNN
Super (Angry): "You're a liar! Who the hell is scared of a little blood anyway?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu64fJBPvZ5
Power retaliates with a punch of her own and creates a blade using her blood.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jX4nuDCUO
Power (Angry): "Don't pretend you're any better, imitator!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGKFc8bXS
Super slams his fist into the rooftop, wrenching out a pipe which he promptly transforms into a blade. Denji places his hand on his ripcord, ready to intervene and put an end to this escalating dispute if necessary.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugLAIJrtx2
Denji (Irritated): "Enough, you two! Knock it off, or I swear..."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFwmc3qKtn
Power suddenly halts and sniffs the air, a look of excitement crossing her face.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7pNysN4Wy
Power (Excited): "Ah! An enemy! This one's mine!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyNskedl3V
With that, Power dashes off in the direction where she senses the devil. Super, initially taken aback, quickly follows suit, leaving Denji to reluctantly trail behind.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmThFiDTaK
Power spots the Sea Cucumber devil and infuses her blood-formed blade, turning it into a hammer. Super, understanding her intent, transforms his blade into a hammer as well. In a coordinated assault, both leap from the building and bring down their hammers upon the devil, causing it to burst into countless tiny fragments, its purple blood splattering the pavement below. They share a triumphant laugh, while Denji looks down at them, completely taken aback.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4qpq7mZDp
Eventually, the three stand before Makima, who scolds them for taking the kill of another devil hunter and explains the potential consequences of their actions.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSniCNzpNd3
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N51SGXg7O
Power (Deceitful): "Denji and Super told me to do it!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphAfrMrpVP
Denji and Super (Shocked): "What?!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW37A1u8mr
Super (Angry): "How could I have told you to kill it if I killed it as well? Denji never said anything of the sort! You just ran off when you smelled it, and we followed you! If anyone should be in trouble, it's you!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ktYeJ9QML
Denji (Angry): "Exactly! You're a terrible liar, you know that?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFJVYDI0Zf
Power (Continuing to Lie): "No, I'm not lying! You both told me to do it! Devils don't lie; that's something only you lowly humans do!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZG6X6cjKG
The three of them engage in a heated argument, while Makima watches with an amused smile, seemingly enjoying their quarrel. She eventually decides to intervene.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEAbIBCvSx
Makima (Still smiling): "Enough."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL9X015Yto
Instantly, Power falls silent and stands upright, wearing an anxious expression. Denji looks at Power with a puzzled expression, and Super scoffs while muttering, "Finally, she actually stopped spouting lies."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Mcyfr15y
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwBiWsXya5
Makima (Calmly): "It doesn't matter whose fault it is. I simply want all of you to exercise more caution, alright? Denji, ensure that you keep Power in check. She can be troublesome, but I expect her compliance. Isn't that right, Power?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCP8mLp9s0
Power (Respectful and seemingly apprehensive): "Yes, ma'am. I'll behave, I promise."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMjg3UGWgt
Makima: "Good. And Denji, Super rarely gets unruly, so you needn't worry about him as much. He enjoys certain privileges over Power, so don't be too hard on him. After all, he is considerably more powerful than you. Do you understand?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4S8QF4Rhf
Denji: "Yes, ma'am."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBxxzanffG
Makima (Appreciative): "Excellent."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hEUxzOGUC
A few hours later, night has fallen, and the trio finds themselves at a row of vending machines. Power stands there, seemingly captivated by the machine's offerings, while Denji purchases sodas for himself and Super. Super promptly accepts his drink and consumes it with enthusiasm.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpPED0Mlf6
Super (Grateful): "Thanks, human. And I apologize for almost getting you into trouble."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXvIXVkwzi
Denji (Equally Grateful): "No worries, buddy. It's the least I can do for you having my back."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEzo5iolBO
The two then turn their attention to Power, who is engrossed in gently petting a cat nearby. They observe her unexpected gentleness with the animal, mildly surprised.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLMthcerP
Power (Softly petting the cat): "I'm sorry, Denji. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyinGdjC4ZD
Denji (Forgiving): "It's okay. You know, if you want to keep that cat, we could ask Aki about it."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcohUP4CdZj
Power: "I used to have one... but..." She frowns at the memory. "Some pesky bat devil snatched him away. If someone... anyone could help me get him back, I'd do anything..."
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PTxRjAIir
Denji thinks for a moment, then he has a revelation.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuMG0UHIcn
Denji: "Power.. if I save your cat.. Can I feel your chest?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpG6d1tifU
Power (Confused): "My chest..? I suppose you could–"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT94rXuOQWm
Denji (Determined): "That devil! Who does he think he is, snatching away an innocent cat like that? I'll make him pay a thousandfold! He'll regret the day he was born!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA6yNqQF0e
Super ponders his desires and soon formulates a request.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSjvoxVOFS
Super: "No! If I rescue your cat, can you buy me a few things?"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq9pWswZU2
Power (Still puzzled): "Um, sure, I suppose I could–"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXw9OxoWT
Super (Resolute): "That bat has no idea what's about to hit him!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKamXZrOa1
Denji and Super (Resolute): "THAT DAMN BAT IS AS GOOD AS DEAD!"
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQEXsSEBs
