Chapter 125

Tearing through a crowd, the Falling Devil harvests ears and eyeballs, stopping once she has four ears and ten eyes to ponder her next ingredient. At a supermarket she browses for apples and asks a clerk, pinned helplessly to the ceiling, which variety best complements human meat. The woman can only stammer in fear, and the devil, insisting she intends no harm, walks out without paying.

Recalling that a man's head is still missing from her list, she politely asks the crowd for a volunteer. A team of hunter snipers answers with gunfire that shreds her body, but she reforms at once, proving herself untouchable by anything humanity currently wields. She repeats the request, claiming she wants no pointless killing, and when they fire again she annihilates the surrounding area in irritation, then beheads one of the hunters and claims his head amid the wreckage.

With every component gathered, she turns toward Asa, only for Denji to strike from behind and saw her to pieces. She regenerates and hits back, decapitating and carving him apart, yet he pulls himself together and tears her open once more, to her visible astonishment.

The Falling Devil collects ears, eyes, and a hunter's severed head for her recipe. She regenerates instantly from sniper fire, immune to human weaponry. Denji ambushes her, and the two trade dismemberment as both regenerate.

Apple Thief is the 125th chapter of the Falling Devil arc, gathered in Volume 15 and published on April 5, 2023. The snipers are drawn wielding the PSG-1, a rifle once used by Japan's Special Assault Team.
