Maybe this is how devil's express love?

I’m guessing she’s a human with a devil heart like Denji and the sword guy. She’s got the same teeth.

I hope it’s something stupid like “Chainsaw” is just an approximation and it’s really a crazy fear like the fear of the inevitable march of time that wears down everything which manifests physically as a chainsaw.

Quanxi should still be alive since she’s a half devil like Denji. I want to hear the backstory of the first devil hunter.

Denji isn't stupid but he was basically an uneducated and ignorant animal dude at the start of the series who was motivated purely by his basal instincts i.e. survival, hunger, lust, avoiding pain. It's fun and interesting to watch him learn how to fit into society and slowly develop his own code of ethics. For all her shadiness, Makima appears to be helping Denji by educating him about values and higher order concepts. Basically transforming him from a feral animal to human. Anybody's guess to what purpose though.

Hopefully the guy that Santa Claus raised wasn’t thematic foreshadowing.

I have to imagine even at 20% of its body the Gun Devil we saw is close to full power. A year from the life span of a couple hundred million people seems to be an unfathomably juicy sacrifice.

Makima likes dogs because they are unflinchingly loyal.

But they aren’t loyal because they’re scared of crossing you or because you had to use magic to force them to be. Which seems to be part of why she likes Denji so much.

So we're missing Principality, Throne, Archangel and Cherubim from that fiend lineup. Though I guess Prinz and Beam could be short for Principality and Cherubim respectively.

I think we can go with Angel devil as being the Archangel analogue. If the names Beam and Prinz are good enough for theirs, his fits just as well.

So assuming that translation is close to correct Devils are the actual metaphysical concept of the thing that they are named after and erasing the being that represents humanities fear of something erases it from humanities collective conscious and I think from existence itself. Boy I'd love to hear Pochita try and explain all of this to Denji as a cute chainsaw dog.

Also I love that some of the things mentioned by Makima are things that don't exist. That is such a good touch.

Just because something's killed less people than Mount Vio's eruption doesn't mean it stopped existing.

Really disappointing that Chainsaw devil hadn't eaten the Star Wars devil and Makima's goal wasn't to revive it.

So with this chapter I really want to go back and see if we've seen Denji eat any devils while in his Chainsaw Man form.

Isn't it just the memory of such things no longer existing? Like it still happened it just gets removed from the collective consciousness

Some of the things Makima listed are not things that would just go away if people all forgot about them.

I don’t think people have a primal fear of fire. If anything it is the opposite. Sitting around a campfire for light and warmth is something that people have been doing for like a million years. Fire can be scary if it goes out of control, but on a purely base level humanity as a whole has a fascination with fire that has nothing to do with fear.

Now drowning, that seems like primal fear. People like the water itself, but the second someone can’t breathe when they want to most rational thinking stops and people lose it.

I'm kind of confused on who has been in control of Chainsaw Man's body during all of this. I thought it was Pochita, but seeing him interact with Power and from his past few conversations with Denji he's always been more high functioning than how Chainsaw Man has been acting. Though I guess he did just act like a dog before he died the first time so maybe he's just weird.

Denji spending time with Kobeni is good because she’s probably the closest thing to a normal person he’s interacted with since the manga started.

Has any Shonen Jump series been made with bad CG? Every recent Shonen Jump based anime has been decent to great as far as a remember so I don’t know why Chainsaw Man would be any different.

I guess we’ll finally get to see what happens when Chainsaw Man erases a concept from existence. At a minimum everyone besides him is probably going to forget that any of this happened.

Well Power implied it was possible to get devils to remember their previous identities so it's not totally off the table.

I though she was just saying to become friends with the Blood devil because that is the closest they could come to being together again, not that the devil would ever remember their previous time together.

It was always weird how Pochita seemed to have two personalities, Friendly internal version and Chainsaw Devil version. The version of Pochita Denji talks with seems very different from the barely vocal murderous version we see at Kobeni’s restaurant.
