Safe Battle (
Summary[]
As the battle continues, Yoru, having already sacrificed the state of Michigan, now wields the newly summoned Oregon Sword and cuts Pochita vertically in half, though he regenerates almost instantly. Meanwhile, the citizens of Oregon who were previously trapped within the forming Oregon Sword are hurled from the compressed mass of the state, crashing into the ocean below in a disoriented state. Frustrated, Yoru questions Pochita about what he ate, unable to bring the battle to an end despite her escalating efforts. She then sacrifices the residents of Oregon for additional power, who appear to 'pop' out of existence entirely, killing one of the many Fumiko clones in the process, who lets out a defeated "sigh" before disappearing. Yoru channels this power into a devastating blow she calls the Oregon Slash. Declaring this to be "the end of the line", Yoru proceeds to sacrifice the people of Virginia, ironically the same population who once cheered the deployment of nuclear weapons on the Soviet Union, to fuel her ultimate technique, the Nuclear Punch. The surrounding devils watch in awe as Yoru strikes Pochita with full force, triggering a massive explosion. Below, the Japanese citizens remain unaware as the blast engulfs the surrounding city, its aftershock so powerful that it even threatens to break open the doors of Hell.

Trivia[]
- Yoru's various human and state sacrifices reflect upon the horrors of war, which in this case, the very citizens of Virginia, who support their country's victories in battle are also used as sacrifices of the War Devil much like how in the real world people are conscripted into armies to further amplify the casualties of the war. Causing more losses of lives and entire cities and states being left in ruins while the country continues pushing its resources to further its ambitions to achieve victory.
