Comment by lia on Madk - Vol.2 Chapter 7

I 100% think makotos conversation with D was planed to leave him unable to say makotos bame since the start. First he brings uo the concept of the system, asking D why he just doesn't say his name which not only gives him a bit of a whiplash from the sudden topic change bur he follows it up by saying HIS name which shocks him to his core. Then D responds by saying makotos name thinking they are on a 50/50 level when it reality makoto probably overpassed D a while ago but didnt know because at some point D just defulted to saying "you" when referring to makoto. Makoto then gets D's gaurd down by playingit off as just a innocent silly test to see how far hes gotten. Lastly, makoto uses the skills hes learned from the demon world by overwhelming D with talk of overthrowing J, the most powerful demon and the man who is in constant proximity with D. Makoto knows that to win you must make others unnerved by you, and by using D's fear and slight admiration for J he wins. Still makoto once again had to rely on the man he hates to gain power.
