Tomato Devil

Character

A devil shaped from the notion of tomatoes. Because tomatoes frighten almost no one, it ranks among the feeblest of its kind, though it can claw its way back from its own seeds. It holds the distinction of being the very first devil Denji and Pochita cut down in the series.

Text Size

Appearance

Its bulk is a big, round, red mass built to resemble a tomato, studded all over with bulging eyes that point in every direction. Eight arms shaped like a human's prop it upright from below, and a tall, vertical mouth splits the middle of its body.

Personality

The story reveals little of its temperament. As with other non-human devils, it is presumed to share their deep loathing of people.

Text Size

Abilities

Beyond the traits common to every devil, its fear-fueled strength is meager, since tomatoes inspire so little dread. Its one notable trick is revival: the devil can regrow itself out of its seeds, so the only way to finish it for good is to burn those seeds to ash. When Denji, backed by Pochita, kills it as it wanders near a house, he afterward explains to his boss what it does and that the seeds have to be torched to keep it from coming back.
