I was watching 7.05 "Selfless" today where Anya wants to take back her vengenence spell on the frat boys and D'Hofferen ends up killing her vengence friend instead. He then says something like "it isn't that easy Anyaka..." He later says "The earth will open and eat you" or something like that. Is this just a foreshadowing in general or speciel for Anya?

I'm not sure, I think he was talking about his own personal assasiny type people rather than the hellmouth and the first etc but you never know
 
Maybe, don't know, D'Hofferen did send his demons after her alot,they wanted her dead after all.

So maybe we don't know.
 
Interesting question. I am not sure about this, but it is possible...she was hunted quite a lot but it could simply be a coincidence.
 
I think he was mentioning more towards that he was going to send Assassins after Anya, and eventually they were going to get the better of her. We saw her being attacked during season seven.

Also, the earth swallowing whole goes along with from beneath you it devours. Could be a connection, but I think he was just hinting at a death in general for all the scoobs.

That was my impression too.

i remember this, but i just forgot about it at the time. i don't know if d'hoffryn was predicting anya's death, it may have just been wishful thinking!
 
Personally, I don't believe it was a clue. Since he had nothing to do with her death, it was the First's minions that killed her.
 
I also cayght that today. Anya was my favorite character. And if she is yours too, then you should consider helping me on my virtual spinoff of Buffy. Anya is back and will probably end up with Xander after a bumpy road

i loved anya! thats cool that you will bring her back! :)
Hm... well no one's posted on this thread for awhile, but I just watched that episode and this is what D'hoffryn says:

Anya- "You should've killed me."
D'hoffryn- "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. From beneath you, it devours. Be patient. All good things in time."

Maybe D'hoffryn knew that in the big fight Anya would die in the end. *shurgs* I don't know, the other explanations fit too.
 
I think D'hoffryn was referring to the first. The phrase "from beneath you it devours" or " it eats you starting with your bottom 😀" came up a fair few times. This would be referring to the first taking over.

D'hoffryn mentioning it suggested to me that he knew it was coming and expected everyone to die. I doubt it was aimed directly at anya.
 
ANYA You should've killed me.

D'HOFFRYN Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. From beneath you, it devours. Be patient. All good things in time.

This was most certainly a hint of what was in store for Anya. It could be argued that D'Hoffryn could have been talking generally, assuming that Anya would be on the frontlines in Buffy's battle with the First and so would most likely die, or possibly he may have known exactly what was going to happen to her. Either way he was clearly aware that the First was about to attempt to rise and as such he believed that Anya's time was short.
 
Also, Joss knew Anya was gonna die before the season began. Emma came up to Joss and told him this would be her last season, even if the show went on. Plus, if season 5 would have been the end, she was gonna die then, too.
 
I think he figured she would eventually die come the big day for the Hellmouth, but I don't think he actually knew for sure she was going to die that way. If he did, I doubt he would've wasted sending his minions after her.

Aaah! But you are forgetting what he was. The head of the Vengeance Demons doesn't get that job by letting people get away with betraying him. Regardless of what he may have known or not known there was no way he was just going to let Anya off easily. Not in his job description! He would have to at least try and get a little personal vengeance on Anya. It was in his very nature.
 
Wait.. so were D'Hoffryn's minions meant to kill Anya? And how come I don't remember this?? What episode was that from?
Anways if his minions were meant to kill, why would he send them? Cause before D'Hoffryn said "Haven't I taught you anything, Anya? Never go for the kill when you can go for the pain."

It was at the start of the sixth episode of season seven, Him. This is part of the scene's dialogue ...

Buffy swings her battleaxe at a demon rampaging through Anya's apartment. The place is a shambles. ANYA crawls across the floor, trying to avoid being pummeled.

ANYA
Maybe I'm not even the right Anyanka. Ever think about that? There's tons of Anyanka's out there. Maybe one of them pissed off this-- what did you say his name was? D'Hoffryneffer?
Buffy finally dispatches the demon by hurling her axe into its chest.

BUFFY
Good thing I stopped by and heard screaming. (helps Anya up) So I guess D'Hoffryn decided to take you out after all?
Anya goes to the fridge and fixes herself an icepack for her injured leg.

ANYA
Yeah. He's not head of vengeance for nothing. Well, thank you for the generous life-saving. Now please go away. (off her look) Look, I don't need anyone's help. Or, okay, clearly I do but I don't want to need anyone's help, so stop helping.

Who knows whether D'Hoffryn actually wanted Anya dead or just wanted to keep her scared. Either way it made for good vengeance, which is what he lived for, lol. 🙂
