I mean I assume denji is impaired by whatever mind affecting thing is clearly going on in the chapter. a lot of reactions elsewhere are like "uh what happened to his character development?? are we really doing this again?? wow he looks like he's really enjoying the chaos" which is a very funny thing to say in a chapter where a bunch of dudes are getting clearly and obviously mind-controlled

He had character development, it just all happened in his head where no one else but him and the reader can appreciate it

this does make Yoshida incredibly suss. if he wanted Denji to stop being Chainsawman, attacking him seems like the wrong idea. I guess this devil could be in it for the goal of eating his heart. what does Yoshida get out of this tho?

tbf yoshida has been repeatedly established as incredibly interpersonally stupid and specifically failed to identify one of denji's assassins back in part 1. so if this girl has a plan to kill denji and yoshida just didn't know and went "wow it's so cool someone told me unprompted they want to gently caress denji, that's so convenient for me" that makes perfect sense to me

the plot point of Yoshida being incredibly dense and socially awkward is pretty funny. he had that whole speech with Asa about parasocial relations being better than real ones. I got the impression he was talking from experience. so this all tracks

I suspect Asa comes in to save Denji because they hear of a devil attack

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

ImpAtom posted:

I have no idea what Denji's expression on the last page is supposed to be. Annoyed? Horny? Anorny? [/spoiler]

The final series of panels has Denji just working his way through a series of goons, turning to see his date is obv with them and just laughing to himself then getting ready for having to beat the tar out of this chick.
He's so much different now than in part 1, his expression feels world weary. I would say its more like resigned/annoyed - no horny detected

I feel that considering his experience with women so far, Denji would probably be genuinely shocked if this ended in any other way than her trying to kill him.

I actually read it as something like relief, or even happiness. He was awkward/flustered/tense with all the sex stuff, and probably a little upset with himself for falling for it again, but now violence is happening and he knows how to deal with that. Back in the comfort zone, baby.

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.
I think Denji just likes having a fight come to him so he doesn't have to worry about breaking the no more chainsaw man agreement. He's probably been itching for this.
