I usually take a couple minutes on those pages, really let it soak in. If there's no dialogue the artist clearly meant for the art to speak for itself.

Yes it's this. He's a high functioning alcoholic with years of experience fighting devils. He anticipated Power's attack because he's probably had a dozen devils ambush him that way.

Yes, the devil doesn't pop out of the body, it dies when the body does, which is why it's kind of odd that devils become fiends at all, there seems to be no upside for the devils.

grieving for Gandalf posted:

if Denji ate Makima, does that mean there's no longer... control? or what's up

also, is Katana Man the only other hybrid like Denji (and I guess Asa)? did we ever go back to that plot point

The way Denji ate Makima is unusual in that it only partially reset her instead of erasing her from existence. Probably because he spread it out over a long period of time. So now there's a new Control devil with a new personality.

It could be population related, maybe devil power is based on the absolute number of humans who fear them and how much instead of relative, so before the 1950s or so devils were weak and they only became a threat with expanding populations.

My favorite manga reader app thing is that in the EU, you cannot pay for the shonen jump app due to licensing. It’s all free!

But you can read each chapter only once ever after which it becomes permanently inaccessible

No that's a third app, we have that one too and it has a different catalog than the SJ app.

I am now actively rooting for Asa and Denji to get together they're both so hopelessly dumb it just might work.

The problem is they've got two Horsemen gunning against them (plus whatever the gently caress Fami is doing) so it's going to take a miracle.

I'm not sure they're working together but they're definitely working towards the same sort term goal, take the real Chainsaw Man off the board. They definitely have different motives so I can't see it as anything other than alliance of convenience if they are working together.

Aki was excellent at general housework. Arai knew how to help drunk people deal with women. Denji has a staggeringly good memory.

You'd think somebody with as lovely a life as Denji has had he wouldn't have a good memory, but yeah he's great at keeping track of little details, which is a plus when you're dealing with a dozen dogs.

Nobody on Earth would commit to a twice weekly manga without a prescription for Provigil and weekly steroid injections in their hands. Even they would probably skip dates. Maybe do a few 4 koma, that might work, but a shonen no way, especially not an action one, that's just asking to die.

Jujutsu Kaisen movies are stand alone stories not dealing with the main characters except Gojo though, they're not part of the main continuity, they're flashbacks. This will be a straight continuation of the manga story like Demon Slayer so there's merit in chopping it into episodes sized chunks.

As funny as all this is, Death is probably another ineffable monster thing like the Darkness Devil since devils represent both the things and the fear of the thing Death would be the personification of the end of life, whatever that would actually look like. Maybe just a corpse, all gross and rotten, or maybe traditional Death and it's a big skeleton in a robe wielding a scythe, but I doubt it'll be as pedestrian as that. Whatever it is I'm sure it will be terrifying when put to paper.
