Even?

Especially.

I read an interview with Fujimoto where he talked about how he was balancing the tone, and one thing he brought up was Denji's optimism. Because he can go through all kinds of poo poo and bounce back, it's easier to laugh through horrifying situations than it would be with a protagonist like Aki, who actually has normal people emotional responses.

I really want Kobeni to say she's quitting tomorrow everytime she appears, even/especially if she continues to be in the manga for an extended time. Hell, I don't want her to die exclusively because I find it to be a great reoccurring joke.

They must pay really well for her to stick around. Or she has massive debt.

New to the series, but I have a more general question: Occasionally, someone posts a link to the new chapter, but the website linked only shows one page at a time. It's terrible flow to read the top half of the page, then scroll down, read the second half, then load the next page - is there any way to get it to display more than one page at a time?

Is the best place to read it. Legally and free. Only has the first few and last few chapters though. So once you've gotten caught up. This is the best place to read.

She's an interesting one because she's cowardly (in perspective of the others) but is clearly strong like when she kinda sonned the snake lady

I'm the Initiative Devil. All powerful as long as people live in fear me, but completely powerless once you finally get up the energy to challenge me.

Also Bomb Devil is wonderful and I'm going to miss her when she gets chainsawed.

All you need is some blood and a tug on her cord and she'll be fine even if she was bisected.

I don't think Denji is definitively defeating Bomb her by any stretch. She's not like Sword her power is much more established and practiced. Sword was as new to things as Denji

Denji has thought about how to use his powers as much as Captain Murphy thought about having his brain in a robot's body. Not a ton of details hashed out, but CHAINSAW HANDS, BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.



It's fun that this chapter will probably be the first step in him getting even more bonkers in combat.

Denji's "training" so far consisted of being murdered repeatedly until he figured out how to be murdered somewhat less.

Reze is actually the first person he's met in a position to actually help him learn from experience. And... she's doing that by murdering him.

Being Denji is a rough deal.

It's a successful Shonen Jump manga. It's very likely to get an anime. Probably one announced in less than a year, going by the normal order of operations for these things.

Quality, of course, is a more open question.

Not really the case so much these days. Even big titles get My Hero is getting seasons instead of a continuous anime.
Chainsaw Man I feel would work really well as a series of 12/13 episode seasons.

I do think we're still a good number of chapters away from getting an anime though.

Maybe cut off a fingertip and throw it like a chainsaw throwing dagger.

I'm also reminded of, I think it was Bayonetta, where you could use chainsaws on your feet to ride around.

If he gets Reze into bed, maybe he can turn his dick into a chainsaw?

they don't really do the unending anime seasons for anything other than one piece anymore. as long as a decent studio helms the adaption, it should be fine

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
look at karakuri circus and blade of the immortal remake though.


i dont see how aki can do anything to bomb. if she had fuses he could use FUTURE IS BEST to cut them ala wrath with dynamite in full metal alchemist buttt

Spiderdrake

It is implied regeneration has a blood limit, so Aki might have been using foresight to know when she's vulnerable enough to attack.

She was fighting to cripple not kill and is clearly hinting she has a limit for the last couple chapters. Intentionally trying to avoid fighting if possible.

I think she's compassionate toward Denji but not that compassionate. It makes sense a bomb wouldn't be an endurance fighter. Or Aki is about to die, I guess, but this doesn't seem like the time.

I think the only limit on regeneration is being intact enough to pull your cord when you get wrecked. Like when Denji fought the Eternity Devil for...X days constantly getting ripped apart but regenerating through it.

That was explicitly because he was also drinking it's blood the whole time. He ain't drinking blood, so yeah, Denji isn't his best self.

He also didn't have enough blood to start out with this time. He's basically fighting half dead at the start, and it's not getting any better as he flails around like an idiot.
