otoh, I could totally see Denji giving her a good “settle down, Beavis” and also Power deciding she’s cornholio.

Fire Punch feels like it suffered from Fujimoto not really knowing where he was going with the plot. Like there’s all of these hooks and characters that get set up, but then they’re just kind of unceremoniously dropped. And everything after Agni’s flames going out just kind of felt like a meandering mess that he didn’t know how to end.

It makes CSM really impressive, because it seems almost meticulously well planned out, with great payoffs for all the subtle things set up early on, so I think Fujimoto kind of learned from it.

Why would Makima kill Snake and Katana Man? They were doing everything she wanted them to!

It's 1997. Turns out having no nukes or warfare makes it a bit difficult to have a Cold War.

It won’t work, because there’s no way Asa thinks she owns Denji at this point. If anything, she thinks Denji owns her.

I’m pretty sure that the death devil appearing in the flesh would be some kind of dramatic apocalyptic event. Every devil would flee the region instinctively, and the death toll would probably make the gun devil’s massacre look tame.

All of the rules will just be basic etiquette and manners that Nayuta got sick of Denji not doing. Denji naturally thinks following the rules is pretty much impossible.

There was a conscious decision (that the director explained in detail) to make it look more like a movie instead of looking like an anime, which people generally weren’t thrilled about.

I am shocked and horrified that the people who didn't like a thing didn't buy it. Some of them may have even left a negative review of said product, or criticized its creators.

Mortifying stuff.

Nayuta is...correct here, though? Like, 1000% correct. Denji asks “why can’t I date her?” And she gives the incredibly accurate answer of “because she’s clearly just trying to kill you, and also I’m pretty sure she’s a devil.” And even Denji kind of agrees with the logic there.

I feel like when Death shows up, we’ll know. Like, Darkness was enough to turn everyone nearby into a gibbering mess just by existing near them, and Death has gotta be an order of magnitude stronger than that at least.

I think “primal fear” is more of a subjective term than an official list or status or anything. They’re just things everyone is generally naturally afraid of.

I don’t think it was Yoshida who gave him the blood. Given Yoshida’s (vaguely defined) motivations, he’d probably be more than happy to just have Falling take Asa to hell and then gently caress off.

In theory if she's killed in Hell, wouldn't that force War to reincarnate back on Earth?

War is already on earth though. They could just skip the effort and do nothing if that's what they wanted...

Or people would just prefer that the government not embark on a campaign of mass censorship and repression of ideas that would make 1984 look like a gentle breeze by comparison.

Yoru is a big softy who could never bring herself to kill Asa. She'll just continue lying to herself about how this useless loser is somehow vital to her goals, no matter how obvious of a fig leaf it becomes.

there is no humor in Firepunch. Only sadness. And fire.

One of the main villains’ primary motivation involves genociding all of humanity in the name of watching Star Wars. The gently caress do you mean there’s no humor?

I’m pretty sure Denji would be ludicrously easy to bribe instead of threaten, so I’m not sure why they aren’t going that route and just offering him like a million yen to gently caress off.

For all of the horrors that the devils bring, a lot of the horrible things that exist in our reality have also just been straight up erased on a conceptual level. Like, living in a world without war or fascism or probably a dozen other societal issues that haven’t even been mentioned makes up for things at least a little bit.

I have no idea why you all think Yoshida is some bumbling incompetent that can’t tie his own shoes. So far the only thing he particularly failed at was controlling Denji, a task that even the physical manifestation of the concept of control couldn’t even pull off.

And assuming this girl is part of his plan, he might even actually be able to do that.

Because she's the Bizarro of Asa her name is the reverse, Asa.

Quick does anyone who knows Japanese know if the way Asa's name is written could possibly do that? Can Japanese reverse syllables like that at all?

It’d be “Saa(サア)”

Yoshida’s competence is rapidly plummeting each chapter. Yeah sure assign Denji a cute lady bodyguard that LOVES the fact that he is chainsaw man, he’ll never transform to try to impress her or anything

Counterpoint: a cute girl with a few dozen screws loose who loves Chainsaw Man is probably his best shot at distracting Denji for a few months.
