Cumdog Millionaire posted:Do you think we will ever see power again? 'Not the power we know but the blood devil is down in hell waiting for a story arch. I really liked that character. Ofc the writers would kill her off in the most brutal fashion, lol. I mean there's a chance of seeing any of the devils who've died again since they always come back, it's just that they won't be themselves because they've all undergone ego death. I'm hoping we get to see who Bomb woman and Angel Devil are now.

Happy Landfill posted:I don't know where that breakdancing meme came from but I'm delighted every time I see it and it's different iterations I'm hoping that this is just a set up for War to be able to use Yoko's shoes as a weapon and Yoko ends up being completely fine and she, Yoshida, and Asa just go on to have fun friendship times together. chiasaur11 posted:Angel wasn't confirmed dead, and Reze is a hybrid, so she doesn't die. Ever. (At least, as far as we know.) So, if they show up again, they should be the same. I think I remember hearing that Angel was confirmed dead in an interview? But I may be worng about that. Either way, whether he's the same guy or a different guy in Hell I'm interested in seeing him come back. I also wanna know what good ol' Kobeni has been up to. Probably living a happy life off screen that will be ruined the second the comic features her again.

He doesn't play video games, and while Evil Dead is an influence, Chainsaw Man primarily came from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. .....I can believe I'm only just now putting this together, but Chainsaw Man being influenced by the cinematic classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre probably also inspired the cannibalism in the ending.

Darth TNT posted:Oh right, that's right. While the general power of the devil is dependant on fear, Denji was weakened due to adoration. Which has probably only grown since then. It's mentioned he hasn't appeared in over a week, it might be taking him longer to heal whenever he gets his rear end kicked as well. I wonder if it's setting up Asa/War turning Denji into a weapon as a way to get around him getting weaker. Like, he becomes her "boyfriend" and then she can wield him as a chainsaw of her own. He heals so him being her weapon won't make him die the way it would a regular human would and they become a team. Violent romantic shenanigans ensue!

Here's a crazy theory: Yuko is the new control demon. She grew up fast (Because apparently that's just how demons are. She was already like ten after a month) and because she was raised by Denji she's much nicer and more cheerful.

I R SMART LIKE ROCK posted:Kobeni is my favorite subplot of the whole manga. she's clearly in over her head but keeps on trucking for her family. everyone has a devil contract in the group but she is never shown to use powers. I want her to survive the entire series in the most ridiculous way possible I am so curious to know what devil she was contracted with. I mean the explanation could be as simple as the writer couldn't think of one I guess, but it'd be neat if it ended up being a plot point later. graham cracker posted:Made this against my own better judgement I laughed, it's sad, but I still laughed.

muscles like this! posted:Starting with the full crew and cutting back to their dead bodies for their sections was absolutely brilliant. I'm sure Kobeni will be back because they explicitly laid out a mystery with her and her contract which seems to give her great physical ability with no real downside. Irony Be My Shield posted:I think it's possible to guess what the downside is Yeah it's impossible to look at Kobeni's life and conclude that there's no downside to whatever deal she made. We might not know the terms of whatever contract is keeping her alive in order to extend her suffering, but it's safe to assume it exists and is at least partially responsible for her misery. Or maybe the deal was just she gets to live forever as long as her car is more popular than she is.

Endorph posted:it honestly feels like more than that, what happens is basically the exact opposite of what she expects or wants to happen. thats why she was able to coast out of the plot for a little bit until she started thinking she was safe. Kobeni can't let her guard down, even for a second, cause that's when they'll get her. Who's "they"? Everyone, the whole world, it's all against her, but only when she thinks its not. The Paranoia Devil is a nasty bitch like that.

Asa made the right choice, I'm not sure if Denji did though. Cats always land on their feet so basically he saved the one creature who would have been fine on its own. But that cat also has a fuzzy lil face and is probably feels really nice to cuddle so who's to say what's really right and wrong here?

That next few chapters will be a teenage coming of age comedy where Yoshida tries to get Denji laid to prevent him from revealing his secret identity.EmmyOk posted:Yoshida is going to doom everyone by thinking he can matchmake Asa and Denji to solve this issue Do it Yoshida, pair up the ultimate power couple and unleash them upon the world.

Denji: Alright, I wanna set the record straight! Chainsaw man does not eat PEOPLE he ate A PERSON! Once! That's one of the lowest number of humans you can eat! My theory that Denji + Yoshida = Comedy Gold continues to be proven right. I'm really hoping we get some Persona style slice of life chapters of Denji, Yoshida, Yuko, Yoru, and Asa just hanging out while doing every day high school stuff and being stupid together. Nayuta can come too, she's the group's Nanako. I think the way Denji is behaving is very much in character with where he was left at the end of part one, and by that I mean he's a teenager who's been through a massive amount of trauma and lost his entire support system. Power is dead, Aki is dead, Makima is dead and before she died she revealed she had never cared about him and tried to kill him, and this was the SECOND time that had happened to him (remember Reze?). He no longer has the job that provided him with a source of income, and High school costs money in Japan and he's supporting himself, his adopted sister, and a pack of dogs. Even if he has money in the bank there's going to be a lot of cost of living expenses with no new money coming in so, of course, he'll be willing to do whatever he can to pick up extra cash. He has no living family and it's been strongly implied he has no friends at school. He has Nayuta, and from what little we've seen she's a positive influence in his life, but as any parent will tell you having a child isn't a substitute for having a relationship with other people your own age. The only time he gets positive validation in his daily life is when he's Chainsaw man. People care about Chainsaw Man, but they don't care so much about Denji, so of course he's eager for people to discover he's Chainsaw Man and leverage that into getting a girlfriend because he doesn't have a lot else going on in his life. Denji is a lonely dumbass with poor social skills. He's grown from part 1, but he's still not the most emotionally mature or stable person out there. Which, given the life he's lived and is still living, makes sense. Space Cadet Omoly fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Sep 13, 2022 |

OnimaruXLR posted:The more we see of Denji being a delightful dipshit in public, the more I fear the other shoe is going to drop and there's going to be some heavy duty pathos going on in his home life, like Nayuta has somehow already aged into a teenager and hates him and she's trained the dogs to try and maul him on sight Okay but that would be hilarious though. Nayuta: Denji, the dogs and I have been talking and we think it's time you move out. Denji: What? We've only been living together for like a week. Nayuta: Alright negotiations have broken down, sic em' boys!

The pacing (is that what you call it? when it's a comic and not a movie do you say "layout"?) in this comic is so good, you can FEEL the awkward silence when things go from "two friends bonding and having a great time!" to "Don't come to school tomorrow! Haha, gonna kill a lot of people!"ImpAtom posted:Are you kidding? She is going to get a weapon contracted to the Justice Devil. Best day ever. I mean sure, things are going great for Yoru. She gets a rad new weapon AND a way to lure Chainsaw Man to school! Asa, meanwhile, is screwed over once again by the Justice Devil. Why can't that guy just leave her alone?!

Is it too early to label this part of Chainsaw man "The Justice Devil arc"? Going back and rereading some of the things Yuko says in earlier chapters hit really differently now. This is a well-written comic.

CodfishCartographer posted:"Pacing" and "Layout" are both terms used when discussing comics that mean different things. In movie terms, think of them like pacing and composition. Layout is, as you probably can imagine, the actual layout of the panels - their size, position, number, etc - also called Paneling. The pacing of a comic is similar to pacing in a movie - how quickly the comic moves along, and the moments it chooses to linger on or rush through. A comic's paneling helps contribute to the pacing, as does the actual composition of the art itself, the amount of text and how easy that text is to understand, etc. Fujimoto is quite skilled at both of these concepts to set just the perfect moods and tones. I appreciate you providing better words I can use to describe things I like and why I like them in the future. It's truly impressive how tense and dynamic this chapter manages to be even though the majority of it is just two people sitting in lawn chairs and talking.

Mulva posted:To be fair he's actually a pretty good person considering his starting point! Yeah, as much as I love making fun of Denji for being a dumbass loser (and will continue to do so just as surely as Denji will continue to be a loser who does dumbass things) he's basically a decent enough guy by teenage boy standards.

Bad things happening to Denji is kind of a reoccurring motif in the story. Evrart Claire posted:I hope we get enough movies/seasons to get to the end of that arc just to have that scene animated. The shot of Denji perched on the grave waiting for Makima is one of my favorite manga panels ever. The anime is already doing extremely well, I think it's safe to say we'll be going all the way to part 2 at least.
