Nah, he's actually really weak because whenever he does anything it gets blamed on other devils, like Succubus Devil and Slender Man Devil.

Was just thinking this lol. Every time I hear sleep paralysis invoked it's "Okay I know what sleep paralysis is and I know how many ghost stories are just that but *goes on to describe a textbook example of sleep paralysis* you can't explain that!"

Amazing chapter. God I am so stressed for Aki all the time, he's too pure for this world. Wonder if in anyway he'll rub off on Angel. I am assuming Bomb is like Sword and Chainsaw and Reze is the real danger rather than the Bomb Devil. Like she's in the driver seat.

Wonderful chapter, the Bomb Devil rules. Maybe we'll see Angel fight :mrgw:

I really want Kobeni to say she's quitting tomorrow everytime she appears, even/especially if she continues to be in the manga for an extended time. Hell, I don't want her to die exclusively because I find it to be a great reoccurring joke.

She's an interesting one because she's cowardly (in perspective of the others) but is clearly strong like when she kinda sonned the snake lady

I don't think Denji is definitively defeating Bomb her by any stretch. She's not like Sword her power is much more established and practiced. Sword was as new to things as Denji

ye power is a fiend which is a devil that takes over a corpse not whatever Denji the Sword guy and Reze are. Fiends have horns etc. so that's why I think Reze isn't one passing for human. Aki said they have weird shaped heads and the two we've seen are power with her horns and the dude with bug mandibles. Power was a blood devil rather than the as people said

Million Ghosts posted:

the series hasn't done a great job explaining the distinctions between someone like Denji vs someone like Power or Beam. it seems like if you have a "form" you can turn on you're one thing, and if you have some kind of always there physical characteristic like the horns or sharkface, you're another. i guess Denji and Pochita were both corpses when their thing happened, compared to Pochita stealing Denji's body.

the primary difference is that denji is still his human self and power is a devil in a human body so has none of the original human in her. it also sounds like they are a distinct thing from being a devil anymore so imagine we;ll get more differentiation

Yeah. Denji's a human with a devil's heart, while Power is a devil in a human corpse. Symbiosis vs parasitism and all that.

So far, it seems like Devil human hybrids are as strong as or stronger than their initial forms, while Fiends are weaker.

yeds that is my reading of it too. Though on the latter I will have to reread and if we get an explanation of how it happens. If e did I can't recall and if we did not it's definitely curious why the devil does it or how it happens to them unwillingly

Beam agreeing that Dennis is correct towards the end was great

This is still an Aki make our account though. Characters fighting with a two second prediction ability always owns so much

Latter.

Whatever mechanism the Curse Demon uses to take life, the Angel Demon does the same thing. So, Aki just lost 2 months of his remaining 24.

Meanwhile, Denji's too stupid to die.



Didn't they say that Aki's cursed sword was one of the ones created by the Angel Demon? COuld be misrememebring, really need to reread.

Another perfect Aki chapter, glad to know he will live longand happily namaste

Aki and Denji neck and neck for purest boys. Also about Aki's weapon this is what I was thinking of



Is there a different chapter where they talk about aki's weapon coming from a different demon? This could just be a new sword then hence my mistkae

That makes sense. I’d figured they meant his old sword at the time.

One of my favorite things about this manga is how loving blatant Makima's abuse of Denji is. I've seen so many series, both Western and Japanese, that have characters like her that they try to justify or argue that the characters really DO care about the people they're horrifically abusing psychologically. Chainsaw Man completely acknowledges the monstrous nature of their relationship, and she seems like more of the villain than the Gun Devil at this point. Even if the series tried to humanize her in the future, I think it would be hard for even the densest person to consider her "good" or "right".

Well the gun devil has killed millions so hrm not sure about this op

Bomb being owned easily enough here is fine by me because Fujimoto showed us a few times including Denji vs Bomb that stopping them pulling their pin really fucks them.

Rereading from the start over Christmas holidays and for Pochita's introduction I had forgotten he shows up hurt. Look like bullet wounds to me.

I think the only time it failed is with Makima but every time I expect the victim to get up in the background and be like “drat that hurt”

Hell yes to this dude going in for round 2 with Quanxi, he’s the lad who Makima brought in before right and who hosed some of the shape shifters?

Also smart move by her throwing Kishibe out the window imo, rather than actually try to beat him which I assume would be hard and take time just end the fight.

Really curious to see him go all out too. Loved the Quanxi girl being like “lol his contracts are pretty weak” and being owned off screen. Really cool that he presumably only has weakfish contracts but is just a beast.

I wonder if what’s behind Denji’s dream door is using the Gun Devil’s power up. We’ve seen devils get stronger due to having bits of the Gun Devil in them. And we saw that Porchita was wounded from gunshots when Dennis found him. So i wonder if what’s behind that door is using the bits of the gun devil inside him (if they’re still there) to have a big power up.

They're laying it on strong enough that i've got tp imagine there's more to it than that though. But I still really doubt she's on the side of the public safety team.

Yeah kind of lol. Even if she doesn’t work for public safety she’s just horrible lol. Though I think similarly about public safety if they’ve hired her. I assume Kishibe is ants to kill her because he’s a nice old man now

I’m very excited for when Kishibe finally makes his move on Makima (we know he’s planning to and tried recruiting Quanxi) and gets horribly killed. But I think he’ll do well. Maybe recruit the devil hunter who helped against Quanxi

EmmyOk
Aug 11, 2013

Oh yeah I forgot Makima was asked for specifically, that’s strange. Probably nothing to worry about.

IMO Kishibe will get got but will come close or closer than expected. With Quanxi’s dolls they mention he has garbage devils but he seemed to effortlessly beat them so i think he’s insanely seasoned and probably one of the people most familiar with Makima’s contracts and whatever the gently caress she is.

I also really liked that the resolution to his fight with Quanxi was him being thrown out a window because she didn’t have time to actually fight him. Was a cool way to end things without either of them looking weaker imo.

Also please DMif you are interested in joining the Aki defence squad where we parachute into the chainsaw universe and save him. I’ve only done this once before so no time wasters.
