Now that the thread has calmed down a bit, it's safe to say that we're heading towards the end at an alarmingly fast rate.
While this chapter spent a lot of time on Death's ass, it also progressed the plot extremely quickly.
If anything the panty shots were a way to distract the readers from how rushed this development was.

Yoru is already both set up as the big bad and is currently causing worldwide chaos with an army following her.
And I don't think things will get any slower.
Also Asa is just watching as Yoru slaughters Devil Hunters and destroys the world(lol)
