Kiss you with a kiss that wasn't true, it wasn't you at all. Hide behind a painted smile, did you know that you would live a lie or two? Pull the very ground from under you, and leave you nowhere else to run...

https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chainsaw-man-chapter-83/chapter/21234 I wonder if Kishibe knew Denji was there or not. Did Makima bring Chainsaw, to her home, knowing this was going to happen? that'd be some 4d chess

The manga does have a ongoing message on the proliferation of weaponry. The Japanese Government seems to have acquired the Hell Devil after their encounter with Santa Claus. I wonder what Devils and Devilmen are left with that internal conflict. I feel bad for Kishibe for having executed this plan after Makima got full control of Denji.

We've seen Makima surprised or thrown off for a moment repeatedly. It's just she gets things back on track. Even now, if Quanxi had signed with Kishibe, Makima'd probably be in a much worse position.

I'm like ten chapters behind after Gun Devil started coming for Makima because I go too stressed out thinking about Aki and all my babies. Gonna catch up after dinner and assume it's all fine by now!!

Why did she do this? Why is chainsaw important? Still sounds like power may return... Also due to apparently a bunch of devils being slaughtered by chainsaw in hell I wonder if that's why he's so strong. Because he's the devil devils fear.

So, I may have missed it because I binged it during a bout of insomnia, these guys sacrificing themselves to the Hell devil are eternally damning themselves to try and deal with Makima or is it just the sacrifice of life? Because holy poo poo I've never believed in anything bad enough to go that far.

I think it's sacrifice of life. There seems to be a running theme of sacrificing your body or life expectancy to gain devil powers Everyone seems to be scared shitless of Makima. So I could see some people, especially those who got hosed over by her, saying gently caress it send me to hell if it means Makima dies

Yeah I’d assume the latter. The guy that made the shallowest cut seemed to really want the hell devil to get at makima (which was cool because you’d think he would cut it shallow to stay alive for however long as he can)

Thinking about it, do we know if damned humans ACTUALLY go to hell? All we really know about the place is that's where devils go when they die, then if they die there they return to earth. Do we still not truly know what happens to humans when they die?

They're giving the Hell Devil their lives in order to convince it to do them a favor. We don't really know for certain what happens to a human who gives their life to a devil, such as when Himeno gave "everything" to the Ghost Devil - presumably Himeno just died when this happened, but we don't really know for sure, so we can't really be certain what happens when you give your life up to any given devil. If doing so somehow sends you to hell, or to some specific torture or something caused by the devil you gave your life to, then that sucks for the millions of Americans that the president gave 1 year of life from to the Gun Devil!!

I got into chainsaw man off of a viz+ membership without knowing anything about the manga-ka and the first volume is an extremely well-executed bait-and-switch wherein it looks like a protoypical shonen action comedy with slice of life elements, cute mascot character, maybe even a bit of harem/ecchi lewdness, but things got progressively and unexpectedly more brutal until here we are, the revival of the gun devil and the apotheosis of makima I’ve since read Fire Punch & so I know that skillfully subverting and deconstructing shonen tropes is Fujimoto’s thing, but reading Chainsaw Man absolutely killed all interest I had in Jujutsu Kaisen, which has similar themes and structure but plays it straight anyway I love Viz+, between this, Fire Punch, Spy x Family, and Act-Age (  ) it was well worth the couple of bucks to sub for a month

And I just started Jujutsu Kaisen cus of the SJ thread and I like it, being only like 5 chapters in, but it doesn't hold a candle to Chainsaw Man. This is honestly the best non-one-piece manga running in jump right now, it's so phenomenally good.

Its just the price/fuel for the summon. Same how makima used those death row inmates to fuel that flattening.

I think the question is still why do devils care if you make those sacrifices. Can they use life force that’s given up?

One thing that stood out for me early on in reading Jujutsu was a bit pretty early on where it said that one of the three leads wouldn't come out of a mission alive. When that came up, I thought two things. 1) That's a bluff. 2) Chainsaw Man in a similar situation? Probably not a bluff. Just ask Himeno. (Seriously, this is some nice animation. I miss puke girl.) Even looking at the latest chapters, there's a difference in tone where JJK is structured like a shonen manga, and Chainsaw Man is structured more like, well, a movie. Not to insult a manga I haven't read all through, but Chainsaw Man definitely feels more distinct.

Yeah I had that exact same thought lmao. Imagine a reverse situation too, if future devil's "Denji will kill you and power" line was in any other manga. It'd either be Denji defying fate or something to save them (maybe he kills future devil, then "the future is in our hands now!!" or something) or just pull a MHA and the prediction just doesn't happen through sheer Shonen spirit. Maybe it'd pull some bait and switch where there's an identity devil that copies them and he kills that or some poo poo. Somehow there would be an excuse to pull the punches so the status quo doesn't REALLY have to change. God I love chainsaw man
