I'm not sure how many heroines are in a game in average but if you divide that amount by 10 girls each game it's still around 1k games.

And since his PFP already once broke in the first episode, it's safe to say that he has several PFPs with him.

Apparently Austin Powers earns pretty well, so that his son can not only buy 1k+ games, but also several handhelds

Spoiler:

I haven't read the manga, but I'd say that's highly unlikely. In Japan, there are hardly any women in well-earning high positions.

Spoiler for reply for spoiler:

Isn't Keima's mother owned a cafe? But I don't think Keima's mother the type who give unlimited fund to her son for games. Unless you are talking about Keima embezzling the money from the cafe..........

I think Keima's reputation is more like a urban legend that everyone heard of but nobody knows for sure. We see Keima go shopping alot so he didn't receive support from the game industry (otherwise Keima will be playing samples given by the industry and don't need to shop

But all these are only speculations. I don't recall the anime or even manga mention how Keima can buy all these games.

[Fandal]

Minor spoiler but has anyone noticed that

Spoiler:

Keima has no guy friends or companions he talks to on a daily basis? Of course he has his website where he gives hints but those people aren't really his companions. All the people Keima interacts with on a daily basis are "real world" females.

Spoiler for Spoiler on Keima's Rep:

1) Keima's mother is proven to be a softie who spoils Keima too much and forgives Keima's father considering what he "did".

2) M Funds

3) 8 GBA + 100 Batteries when he was a kid. So that excludes the fact he got sponsored ( Unless he already has his website up during that time which is impossible)

4) No knowledge of what Keima's father does for a living.

While I would say there's a chance for him to be using funds from his grandfather, there's a higher chance for him to be using his Mother's funds

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Even before the appearance of Elsie, he wasn't talking to anyone. Who needs a friend when your a god...

[pampz21]

Let me teach you something good!
Ch.30 page 4! is the answer to all your doubts!

[risingstar3110]

I think we have discussed too much on manga materials of Keima so far. Hope everyone can restraint to do so...

[Dr. Casey]

Keima's more than a little hypocritical and she's a bit pompous at times, but I like her anyway.

She?

Anyways, what's so hypocritical about him? The fact that he doesn't want anything to do with the 3D world?
Well, he still has to function in it of course, that can't help that

Or is it the blushing and mingling with these girls that you're talking about?
Well thankfully he's not some unfeeling robot, so getting used to the company of young ladies like this will make him uncomfortable.

[omimon]

Despite being a god and having the ability to make any girls wet, he sure has trouble figuring out how girls feel about him. I mean in this current arc he is literally trying to piss girls off intentionally.

It's not like he wants to have friends anyways.

In fact, if his head is not on the line, then he will not bother to react with the "real" anyway...

It's a real surprise that he still can hold a normal conversation before he met Elsie

And if I remember correctly, Maijima High used to be a girls only school so the chances are even less for him to interact with males.
I hope I'm not mixing the girls only fact up with another anime though. lol

[Clarste]

No, you're not. The anime omitted that description, though it's not really important in the end. I think Keima just doesn't enjoy talking to people.

Of course he has trouble to understand real girls - his "Capturing God" abilities refer exclusively to *2D* girls! Until Elsie came, he didn't have any contact with real girls whatsoever.
When he's to capture real girls, he applies his 2D girl abilities to them, which can go wrong badly - like when he was attacked by Mio's driver that one time

[pampz21]

Let me tell you guys something good!
Read Ch. 94

Spoiler for Something Good:

Something like friends, it's not like you really need them right?
I don't have any and I'm not troubled by that.

[Seihai]

Well, I doubt non manga readers will look up a chapter just for that, especially that far into the story. And manga readers get the point without your mention.

Anyway, episode 4 gave a good insight on Keima's being, though I would have personally preferred the adapation of the chapter right after Mio's capture, nonetheless this was nice.

He had trouble understanding anyone in the real world. Just like his recent capture attempt with Akari, people don't react the way Keima expects them to react. He can't save and reload in the real world, and if there's a bad flag or a "route" sealed off, he has to run with it. People don't respond the way Keima wants them to. It'd be fine if Keima knows that there would be a happy ending for him to see, but it's too difficult for him to predict most of the time. Thus, he writes the real world as a bad game and doesn't even bother.

However, with the contract on his neck, he had to apply his 2D knowledge to a 3D world, and it still worked most of the time. When it didn't work the way Keima wanted it to, he adapted accordingly and didn't give up. He's doing a lot better in the real world than he ever expected to before.

Well with playing the capturing game, he will eventually come to understand that nothing goes the way he wants it to, or like how the girls react in the games that he plays. Like in Episode 4 where he said that the Heroines are not bad, but the games are, like you said here Shadow5YA. But since hes forced to play this "bad game" or else get his head chopped off.

Just getting that feeling that his knowledge in the 2D world will eventually not work on 1 girl in the 3D world... Just a feeling.

Well it's possible. But Keima's an intelligent guy himself. So for example when he confessed to Mio and it turned out unlike what he expected, he immediately can pick up something wrong with the way Mio react, rather than doubt his ability...

In another words, he is born to be a womanizer.... But simply not interested in 3D world where he can apply and refine his gifted ability

Was it explained why he eventually turned to the 2D world yet? I think that his abilities as a womanizer instantly failed the first time he tried the 3D world, which lead him to the 2D world of game heroines. But this is a positive thing in a way, he wasnt exactly born as a womanizer (he does have the appearance though ) but he gets his ideas generally from the 2D world, which he played so much, theres bound to be so many hints to "capture" the heroines for the almighty Capturing God

Sorry if this was already discussed...

Actually I believed he was born a gamer and was disinterested in the real world since the beginning. Like you said, it might be a good thing since if he was interested in real girls AND he was the gamer that he is, he would certainly end up being like Makoto. <--Womanizer among womanizer among womanizer
