What if it's just the Bad Date Devil, everything's taking too long, it's repetitive, everyone's trapped around people they don't like and don't get along with.

he thought quoting borges would make him popular
A few years back Patton Oswalt had a pretty good routine about hearing the phrase "I'm going to fill you up with my goof juice" in a porn film. When he performed it live, he delivered it in a pitch-perfect, horrifying pervert-clown voice. For the recorded CD version, he reverted to using his standard "Southern dumb guy" voice. For whatever reason, I always heard the Future Devil's voice as that former voice; it's probably the perpetual "DOO HOO HOO HOOO" expression on his face that did it. Plus I always thought the Future Devil's body language (in the manga) when Aki stuck his face in his stomach was rather sexual, but maybe that's just me.

"Future Devil as pervert voyeur" really seems like it would have been the best angle to take on the character. But like the Oswalt routine, it ended up with a safer, and more generically wacky, delivery that could only disappoint, and the body language was just goofy flailing.

Good episode still!

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Heads up, apparently someone posted astoundingly accurate spoilers for this chapter and the next two on 4chan. I saw a screenshot (which I won't link here) that dates the post to a few days ago, and only read the spoilers for 114 to see how accurate they were, which was very accurate. It's possible it's a photoshop with info gained from the new chapter to make fake predictions more believable, but figured I'd warn folks that there may be spoilers abound.

I know we were prepped to hate the fake Chainsaw Man from the beginning (if nothing else due to the fact he's a fake), but it's incredible how quickly that last page makes him turn the corner from "Eh, this guy's probably a weasel" to "Wow, what a prick."

my theory is they only got spoilers for 114 and made up stuff for the other two chapters

While not a single person (including him) was willing to help her get higher and keep steady. And then he chewed her out for not being a team player. That's not a hard truth, that's just being an rear end in a top hat to shift blame.

Now that you mention it, that may be exactly what happens. There's nothing saying that a broken tool can't be a powerful weapon, after all. Though it's not like Asa can do much on that regard without Yoru.

Asa has to be able to. this whole exercise is about turning Denji into a weapon while Yoru is away. this hopefully leads to the realization that Asa has a far greater degree of control than first appearances would lead you to think

Since Yoru is physically inside of her, I think that she has the power regardless of whether Yoru's consciousness is there.

My understanding was they were stuck until she was close enough to Denji to turn him into a weapon, not for her to actually do so.

hmm my interpretation of this scene is Fami is specifically trying to setup a situation where Asa would kill another human being. since Fami has been watching the ours heroes. she's probably intuit that Asa is reluctant to do so

I could very easily see Asa getting to the point where she's ready to turn Denji into a weapon, then tries and nothing happens. She then shouts OKAY I'M READY TO TURN HIM INTO A WEAPON NOW, GIVE ME YORU BACK and Fami just fuckin laughs at her while Denji is like "wait, do what with me now?" and possibly even catches on to what's happening.

A running theme with the way devils are portrayed in Chainsaw Man is that they're all very childish and silly. They can be extremely powerful and deadly, but still have the attention span and brain power of a six year old.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is it would not surprise me at all if Fami gave Asa an impossible challenge by taking Yoru away from her and doesn't even realize she's done so because Family is a devil and, as we established, devils are dumb and do dumb things.

Anyway I was thinking maybe it's just Pestilence. What if the water doesn't make you less thirsty? The food isn't filling and the money can't be spent cause it's got the same serial numbers or maybe it's all counterfeit? You can technically get cell service but it's barely even one bar.

I don’t think Pestilence would be a horseman since Control/Conquest is one.

I wonder if Famine's power is being able to take away anything. Trapped Asa by taking away their exit, and also took away Yoru's consciousness. Famine revived Yuko by bending the rule and taking away her weakness or something.

Makima is one of the smarter and more mature devils we meet, but even she has her moments where she does something goofy and self-indulgent.

Like, once she has control over all the weapon people she mind controls them into talking about how much they all love her and each have a crush on her and want to compete over who gets to take her on a date. That moment had a very strong "teen girl romantic fantasy" feel to it, just played out in the most terrifying and disturbing way possible.
