yeah, might've been explained in part 1 and it's been so long i forgot, but i've always figured it was an all-or-nothing thing where either you exist or Chainsaw Man eats you and you vanish from the collective subconscious, i never considered that just taking chunks off a devil would cause it to accordingly become less of a presence outside of fiction. also makes sense that the War Devil's real form is so diminutive and nonthreatening when they've lost part of themselves to Chainsaw Man. this manga owns so hard it's almost unfair lmao

Seriously, though. He feels like he's almost back to chapter 1 vis a vis finances and his social life. And without seeing the internal narration and/or what his relationship with Nayuta looks like, it's harder to see growth. We'll see, I suppose.

Denji's been reset to the zero sum level of poverty and isolation where the only thing you can do is pick one thing and work at it all the time to stay sane. Wanting to grab a titty got him there before it'll get him there again. (i don't think hes okay)

which like actually tbh it legit seems less like hes primarily horn doggin it off raw teenage hormones at this point and more like he's absolutely desperate for attention of any kind from women. bro is simultaneously getting fin/femdommed here. trying to fill the hole Makima left in his stomach

tho thinkin about it i guess that was always true

The vibe I get from him here is that he's definitely doing better but he absolutely has not kicked the "I'm in debt to the Yakuza" urge to do anything, literally anything for any amount of money

Denji: Alright, I wanna set the record straight! Chainsaw man does not eat PEOPLE he ate A PERSON! Once! That's one of the lowest number of humans you can eat!

My theory that Denji + Yoshida = Comedy Gold continues to be proven right. I'm really hoping we get some Persona style slice of life chapters of Denji, Yoshida, Yuko, Yoru, and Asa just hanging out while doing every day high school stuff and being stupid together. Nayuta can come too, she's the group's Nanako.

I think the way Denji is behaving is very much in character with where he was left at the end of part one, and by that I mean he's a teenager who's been through a massive amount of trauma and lost his entire support system. Power is dead, Aki is dead, Makima is dead and before she died she revealed she had never cared about him and tried to kill him, and this was the SECOND time that had happened to him (remember Reze?). He no longer has the job that provided him with a source of income, and High school costs money in Japan and he's supporting himself, his adopted sister, and a pack of dogs. Even if he has money in the bank there's going to be a lot of cost of living expenses with no new money coming in so, of course, he'll be willing to do whatever he can to pick up extra cash. He has no living family and it's been strongly implied he has no friends at school. He has Nayuta, and from what little we've seen she's a positive influence in his life, but as any parent will tell you having a child isn't a substitute for having a relationship with other people your own age. The only time he gets positive validation in his daily life is when he's Chainsaw man. People care about Chainsaw Man, but they don't care so much about Denji, so of course he's eager for people to discover he's Chainsaw Man and leverage that into getting a girlfriend because he doesn't have a lot else going on in his life.

Denji is a lonely dumbass with poor social skills. He's grown from part 1, but he's still not the most emotionally mature or stable person out there. Which, given the life he's lived and is still living, makes sense.

It isn't like Denji was ever not a dumbass, but he just became a bit more aware of the people around him because he had spent a lot of time with them. He's now back to basically having nobody (though presumably an adoptive daughter + bucketload of dogs) and so he's having to learn about people all over again.

Also most of his previous friends were batshit insane.

They're also all named after food.

Makima still haunts Denji's life, even now.

(Between Makima and Reze, any Yoru or Asa relationship is going to have a really high bar to reach to compete with Denji's past relationship disasters. For all the problems they had, there was some great chemistry.)

Shoot, I think you've just hit on the premise of this season; War is going to bully Asa into flirting with Chainsawman, so he can fall in love with her and get weaponized. I look forward to a blood-drenched romcom romp.
