how many of denjis meaningful relationships havent ended up with him killing them. right now all I can think of is himeno and I guess reze although that ones sort of of a technicality

Kishibe and Pochita. Arguably Power.


It's not like Denji had that many friends, so even killing one is statistically significant.

The best thing about a possible relationship between Yoru/Asa and Denji is that there is a high probability that it will end with Denji having to eat his girlfriend again. :v:

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.

War hasn't discovered yet that Denji doesn't actually know yet what love is.

Japanese high school is optional, requires testing to get into a good school, and isn't automatically state-sponsored. You can get a full ride most of the time without too much effort, at least for public school, but Denji would not know how to navigate the paperwork, I'd think.

He knows what love is! He just... has a unique way of expressing it.

The more we see of Denji being a delightful dipshit in public, the more I fear the other shoe is going to drop and there's going to be some heavy duty pathos going on in his home life, like Nayuta has somehow already aged into a teenager and hates him and she's trained the dogs to try and maul him on sight

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.


Persona Protagonist confused why hanging out with their idiot classmate keeps raising Devil social link.

If the government can afford to hire Yoshida to be his handler, you'd hope they could afford an actual social worker to make sure he gets some help claiming social security, and make sure he has enough life skills not to burn his house down... but given the kind of manga this is, there probably are no social workers.

they are justifiably terrified of denji and sent in what is probably the best living active devil hunter to feel him out.

Yoshida never said he's working for the government. He said it's not an evil organization like some manga, so it could be the government but we don't know.

Come to think of it, I wonder Chainsaw ate a piece of death too, which is why people seem a little blasé about murderous demons killing tons of people.

Okay but that would be hilarious though.

Nayuta: Denji, the dogs and I have been talking and we think it's time you move out.

Denji: What? We've only been living together for like a week.

Nayuta: Alright negotiations have broken down, sic em' boys!

I missed a zero the first time through because I was reading on my phone, but Yoshida just shelled out for over sixteen hours of Denjisitting. I wonder if that's going to prove relevant in the future.

I know what character you mean but my brain went to Jojo's Kishibe Rohan instead and the idea of Rohan entering the Chainsaw Man world is too hilarious to ignore now. He'd be so thrilled, so many cool manga ideas.

If you must blink, do it now.
Looking forward to Denji going on a series of dates with Asa and they keep getting interrupted by devils who want to kill him, but Asa doesn't think Chainsawman is cool so he won't transform cause he doesn't wanna blow his chance to score and we get a zany chase scene instead of a fight.

I can see it in my mind's eye.

Denji likes girls but doesn't know anything about romance (or Asa), so he leafs through some Shoujo manga at a Book Off and cribs all the best-sounding date ideas and Asa hates all of them.

Finally, exasperated, she asks him just to take her someplace he wants to go instead, and they end up watching lobsters fight at a seafood market or something and that's when she falls for him.
