If those death numbers are real then even ignoring the devil stuff having 10% of your population die from murder or suicide is a pretty bonkers statistic.

She has goofy Denji energy but there’s no way Denji can read manga, my dude just got into high school. Also can’t most devils smell other devils pretty well?

Its 5%, 1 outta 20, which is still high. I think Japan had one of the highest suicide rates in the world

At this point it feels like it'll be more shocking if she doesn't die.

She's reaching "partner cop one day from retirement" levels of doomed or maybe even "Horny couple who just had sex in a slasher movie"

Yeah the world of Chainsaw Man is very bleak and bad to live in, fun to watch from the outside though.

Is that a new iteration of the Bat devil? Also yeah, Asa is so obviously going to die, that I begin to suspect that she actually won't. Or at least not soon.

The only thing maybe saving Yuko is that she is sending off so many death flags in a comic that is already pretty cavalier about offing characters that it's surprising if she doesn't die.

Yuko has a pact with the Peace Devil and hyjinx ensue. It turns out the genre he wanted to write for this next chapter of Chainsaw Man was a wacky '70s style sitcom.

Even aside from the basic logic issues, the height's wrong.

Denji's somewhere around 5'10'', maybe approaching 6 even, since he's taller than Makima, who's about 5'8'' according to production notes on her early design. Meanwhile, Yuko's shorter than Asa and much shorter than Yoshida.

Denji might not look it due to the company he keeps, but he's very tall for a malnourished Japanese teenager. (He just tends to be around people who are even taller). Meanwhile, Yuko is pretty average in height for a teenage girl, shorter than Asa.

Also, for homes, Denji has a second floor apartment filled with very excitable dogs. Yuko lives in a ground level apartment, which does not have a pack of dogs ready to greet any visitor.

If that's the Bat Devil attacking them in the end it's probable that Denji will show up, if not to kill it to ask about the Blood Devil in hell

I have a prediction: Yuko is going to die, be it sooner or later, in the human sense (or in the devil sense if she is secretly a hybrid/fiend).

I dunno, I'm starting to think she'll pull a Kobeni and end up being one of the few members of the cast who makes it to the end alive.

Yuko is the Final Girl of part 2.

I've talked about his interview with Samura before, but it's worth tracking down the whole thing. It has everything from exchanges of compliments when discussing the differing demands of weekly and monthly manga to Fujimoto talking about why he thinks the art in "In this Corner of the World" is sexy.

Maybe it only wants to go after Chainsaw because it thinks it'll take a long time. Once you win there's no more war.

No, she's still fully focused on getting Chainsaw Man to vomit the Nuclear Weapons Devil. She wants to use Asa to gain power to do so, and ruining her life is apparently a really good way to make strong weaponry by warping her friendships.

I can only imagine the kind of power-up that comes with guilt. Asa probably has no guilt about the teacher during the advent of her own death, and he turned out to be decently strong sword. Or perhaps she is subconsciously guilt-prone, and the War Devil chose Asa because she observed Asa's guilt-prone inclination.

Nonetheless, the mangaka is coupling the theme of "guilt" with theme of "war". I can only imagine that he plans to bring up atrocities and egregious allusions of war.

Devil powers are very heavily reliant on strong emotions, mainly fear, so I guess we'll see how other emotions will play into it.

Denji has no fear when talking to girls, despite the fact every single woman he knows has tried to murder him.

They should introduce creatures who are fueled by fear that is mostly more like confusion, with the two greatest threats being the Romance and Math devils

I've been trying to guess what War's secret kokoro wish is, like how Mikami wanted an equal to be friends with and the Pochita wanted a hug. A friend that it knows it'll never sacrifice for power?
