Aoi is to the Beelzebub story what Hinagiku is to Hayate no Gotoku: A character that was initially designed as "one of many", but who works so well that she's going to usurp a large part of the show, and take over a lead role. At this moment in the manga, I'd say that she's the most important character besides Oga/Beel, even before Hilda.

Well he's not even close to being "pretty" :P Though at least the guy can stand a few of Oga's face in the ground punch.

Coincidentally, they're both sword wielding badass tsundere, who is a leader and is admired by girls around her. Well, Aoi isn't as flat as Hinagiku though...

I'd totally disagree with that

, though this isn't the thread for such a conversation.

That's right, Hilda was never important.

Disagree... but that would start fanboyism flame war ^^, However story wise Hilda is more important, there shouldn't be an argument there with her position as the demon nanny. This isn't a popularity contest >.>

Yeah I always felt that if you were to take out Hilda the story, it wouldn't loose all that much but the hotiness factor. Somehow she never really looked all that important to the plot and she wasn't even a love interest.

Nayrael · 2011-03-09, 09:39

Yeah, from story-telling perspective, Hilda didn0t play an important roel until recently when she fought that Behemoth guy.

eiyuu99 · 2011-03-09, 09:57

The current arc is supposed to be Oga vs Tohou Shinki (東邦神姫),
so Hilda doesn't have much role except the nanny.

I can pretty much agree, though i just wanna point out that the same can be said for Aoi. Take her out and you're only missing the love interest which isn't actually needed. It's just used for jokes mainly, which this story is far from short of.

SoFarGone · 2011-03-09, 17:09

if you take one of them out I don't think Beelzebub would be as funny. Its like taking Kagura or one of the three shinsengumi out in Gintama. Sure we still got the main character and all but its just not the same.

Zippicus · 2011-03-10, 02:51

I finally got around to watching this, it's pretty decent. It's not as hilarious as the manga which is odd considering there's no significant difference in the plot/story (at least as far as I've seen so far). I guess it's the delivery that's different.

eiyuu99 · 2011-03-10, 08:04

I think Oga being zapped by Beel's crying too often numbs the impact.

Well Aoi didnt appear from the beginning like Hilda (so expectation regarding her significant is lower), and though she is not so important she at least provides love interest which is much more than Hilda does to the story (until very recent fight of hers).

I'm not getting into a "Aoi is better then Hilda" debate

, i was just saying that they're pretty much of equal value.

Because of the earthquake in Japan, Crunchyroll is placing all simulcasts from 3/11 to 3/13 on hold including Beelzebub.

Does that mean that Episode 10 did not air on TV in Japan?
