Violence Devil name change

Posted under Tags

Renaming actually makes sense. Galgali is the name of the Violence Fiend (bouryoku no majin), not the Violence Devil itself (bouryoku no akuma). I've never seen him called the Violence Devil in official or unofficial TLs.

While fiends are "devils" that take over human corpses, no one addresses them as the X Devil, and their race/species ultimately changes. 90% of powers lost, different personality, only revives as a devil if killed, can only transform into a devil form temporarily if at all, might not even get stronger if people fear violence, can't make contracts, human body instead of devil body...

It seems that for fiends, the X Devil tag is sometimes used for posts where fiends are transformed into their devil form. For example, Blood Devil (Chainsaw Man) is all just depictions of the Blood Devil form of Power.

The Violence Devil never appears in any form in Chainsaw Man, so I don't think there should be an alias for it at all unless it's a common mistake.

Then that should be added as utility alias. I personally don't remember most of the names.
