Synopsis

In the latest escapade set in Chitose, Hokkaido, the devils are drawn to a television commercial that sparks their curiosity for a little getaway. While the rest of the group eagerly embraces the idea of a trip, Jashin-chan finds herself reluctantly compelled to join, thanks to Yurine Hanazono’s intimidating chainsaw ultimatum.

As their day of exploration unfolds, a comedic twist arises when Jashin-chan inadvertently allows a wandering deer to munch on their vital hotel check-in ticket. To complicate matters, the fallen angels are also vacationing in the area and are staying at the same hotel. In a bid to recover their lost ticket, Jashin-chan must engage in a chaotic chase around Lake Shikotsu, leading to an unexpected clash with their heavenly counterparts.

Otaku Consensus

Chapter Chitose lands best as a self-aware promotional detour: the gag pacing, fourth-wall energy, and Nomad’s willingness to make a tourism episode feel like part of Jashin-chan’s chaotic brand are what fans responded to most strongly. The common complaint is also its defining feature: compared with the main series, it can feel less like a full dramatic progression and more like a side-story built around a location tie-in.

Why You Should Watch

Watch Chapter Chitose if you want a compact dose of Dropkick on My Devil!! at its most commercially bizarre: violent cute-girl slapstick, demon-versus-angel pettiness, and meta jokes folded into what is effectively a Hokkaido travel collaboration. It scratches the same itch as Gabriel DropOut’s heavenly deadbeats and Gintama’s shameless fourth-wall comedy, but in a shorter, nastier package built around Jashin-chan getting humiliated at high speed. The appeal is not plot density; it is seeing a franchise turn an advertisement-friendly excursion into a joke about advertisements, funding, and character abuse. If you like your monster-girl comedy with chainsaw threats, casual gore, and zero concern for dignity, this special gives you the franchise’s core flavor without demanding a long rewatch.

Key Characters

Y
Yurine Hanazono(VA: Nichika Oomori)
Yurine remains the franchise’s deadpan control rod, turning the chaos around her into comedy precisely because her threats feel colder and more practical than the demons’ theatrics.
J
Jashin-chan(VA: Aina Suzuki)
Jashin-chan is the rare monster-girl lead whose appeal comes from being proudly awful, with fans tuning in to watch her ego collide with consequences.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
The special is a single-episode Chapter Chitose installment rather than a standard multi-episode arc, giving it the feel of a concentrated side mission inside the Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash run.
2
Nomad’s handling keeps the franchise’s visual identity tied to bright character comedy while still making room for the darker slapstick elements associated with its torture, gore, and demon humor tags.
3
AniList’s highest-weighted tags place Monster Girl, Slapstick, Meta, Advertisement, Travel, Primarily Female Cast, Female Protagonist, and Cute Girls Doing Cute Things all at 79%, which neatly captures the episode’s unusual mix of tourism promo and violent gag anime.
4
The episode’s reputation among viewers is closely tied to its funding and promotional context; fan discussion singled out the idea of an anime episode being backed by fans or a town as unusual for a TV comedy.
5
Its reception sits in a modest-but-positive range, with a 7.25 MAL score from 8,049 votes and a 70/100 AniList score, suggesting a special appreciated more by franchise followers than by broad popularity metrics.
