He wanted to now that someone was finally above him
I think it's also like a way for j to take revenge on him by leaving him cos he knows makoto is obsessed w him
Naaaaah cuz J actually manipulated mfs so he could finally die, 800 years was probably a lot and since a demon slowly dies when their name hasn't been called out or they're forgotten and the fact that Wald "cursed" him - he wanted to pass on the same trauma, the same yearning and woe to someone who will surpass his own maker, Makoto, and to die too which is why he's killing two birds with one stone on this one. The next person that Makoto catches, a succeeder, someone same as him back when he was first brought to hell — in other words, its another petty cycle of grooming someone so they can finally rest in piece.
guys can someone explain why j ended up saying makoto’s name, like was it voluntary or part of the pact? i’m a bit lost on how/why he died
