No, not physically. But I do expect them to have opposed influences on Oga: Hilda as avatar of violence and chaos and Aoi as voice of reason. Wishful thinking? Maybe, maybe not. Let's wait and see.

Aoi will probably find out the details next chapter and probably understand, even if it strange and out of this world. She might not agree with everything, including the baby beel thing, but I believe she will eventually get it together soon and get stronger to help Oga with the forces who will be after him.
Help - yes, like she always has. Help via fighting - likely yes, it's this kind of manga. But I'd expect her to look for the "less violent" solutions first. I do NOT think that her role is to become Master of the Horse for Ceasar Oga.

She says herself, are you one of behemoth men? I won't let you harm master. Maybe she did jump to conclusions, but she did see him as a potential threat, and he's still a mystery.
So let's kill him? You have no problem with that? I do.

Like I said before, She was only at the school looking for a demon, and comes upon somebody shutting down a demon portal. And she has a one track mind, being a wet nurse to baby Beel. It has been painfully oblivious that her number 1 priority is Baby Beel.
Oh, she's being an exemplary demon. Unfortunately - and that's my point - being an exemplary demon implies acting like a very nasty human, if you apply human standards.

That is my point. She has no shred of compassion, acceptance or even fondness for Oga. She is clearly using him in a cold and calculating way, and she's manipulating him to push him down the demonic path. Which would - if successful - lead to the eventual extinction of humankind, by the way

Quote:
And her viciousness towards Oga? What viciousness has she displayed upon him, may I ask?
Are you serious? The beginning aside, where she wasn't merely abusive, but where she was trying to kill him, he constantly badmouths him, manipulates him to fight more to nurture the Zerub spell (and to reestablish it), and whenever Oga tilts and goes into berserker mode, frightening/worrying everyone else, she eyes him soberly, like a mechanic eyes his tools.

So don't get me wrong: She's a great character and very consequential in what she does. But she is no friend of Oga, her interests lie completely elsewhere: If Hilda thought that it would be best for Beel to have Oga impaled, and then hacked to pieces and fed to the street dogs, she would instantly do it without a trace of regret.

People like her are best avoided, and if that's not possible, handled with utmost caution. So yea, I guess I don't like her very much ^_^;
