Bitterness Devil
CharacterThe Bitterness Devil is a minor Devil that personifies the sensation of bitterness. It surfaces only briefly during the Aging Devil arc, swallowed up in Pochita's rampage and then coughed back into existence by Denji as he claws his way out of a memory-eroding ordeal.
Appearance
This Devil is mostly head, an oversized one crowned by a pair of stubby horns. Its eyes carry a goat's slotted look, and its nearly toothless mouth sits below them. Thin patches of hair cling to the crown and sides of its skull, while a ragged stubble covers the rest.
Personality
The manga has yet to reveal anything of the Bitterness Devil's disposition. Like any Devil, it can offer humans a contract in exchange for a price.
History
During the Aging Devil arc, Pochita slips free of a Public Safety trap and goes on a tear through the city, devouring one Devil after another, the Bitterness Devil among them. Later, lost in the Aging Devil's warped world, Denji begins to recover his stolen memories: thinking of Aki and Power, he heaves up the Snow Devil, and bitterness itself is restored when he expels the Bitterness Devil as well. A plunge into a nearby lake then brings back his memories of Meowy, Nayuta, Reze, and the dogs.
