Mouth Devil
CharacterThe Mouth Devil represents the concept of mouths. When Pochita consumes it mid-rampage, every mouth on earth vanishes, stalling a Public Safety atrocity until Yoru tears the devil's head loose and brings them back.
Appearance
Recalling an octopus, the Mouth Devil sports tongue-like tentacles studded with teeth set where suckers would normally sit. Once Yoru compels the Chainsaw Devil to disgorge its head, that head is seen to hold a pair of white eyes alongside a nesting cluster of mouths, one set within another, crowned by yet another mouth above.
Personality
Nothing has been revealed about the Mouth Devil's personality.
History
In the Aging Devil arc, after wrenching itself loose from a Public Safety trap, Pochita rips through the city eating devil after devil, the Mouth Devil included. The moment it goes down, every mouth across the planet disappears. The loss carries an unintended upside: it halts, for a while, Public Safety's plan to offer up ten thousand young Japanese citizens, from infants to nine-year-olds, before mirrors as a sacrifice to the Aging Devil. Later, once the Tank and Gun Devils reshape themselves into weapons and restore the use of her arms, Yoru fires the Right Gun Gauntlet into Pochita. The blast rips a wide gash through his body, freeing the head and returning mouths to existence. As with all devils, it can hand contracts to humans at a price.
