Denji and Reze had more emotional depth in their relationship to this point than Bleach or Naruto had in their entire run between anyone.

Makima has clearly been a villain since she killed Reze, who by the standards for this series, did nothing wrong.

I think that we may be close to some major plot and background reveals after this current fight concludes. So much major poo poo just happened, along with the reveal that we're still in the nineties, that I can't imagine we don't get a exposition dump or a time skip after this.

Then again, this is the fire punch author so anything is possible.

The fact that anyone doing anything COULD be her behind it makes her all the more terrifying. People that know of her then cannot completely trust anyone, it's very possible she could turn anyone into a Manchurian candidate.

I'm guessing the fire devil is both a primal fear and is just the guy from fire punch.

My guess is the primal devils are darkness, fire, death, water/drowning, and maybe a devil of being hunted.

I like to think that eating a devil takes away its power, however that works. Maybe eating the darkness devil means people can see fine in the dark, maybe it means theres only shade and no real darkness. The madness star might entirely disappear, but maybe it just stops making kids go mad and everyone forgets that it used to do that.

We're going to get Chainsaw Man anime, Uzumaki anime, and another season of Jujutsu Kaisen at the same time and the new anime renaissance will happen. This will pave the way for One Punch Man season 2 (real edition).

Erasing poo poo from reality is absolutely a thing chainsaws can do, you just don’t realize it because the concept is erased so you forget.

Many people dislike tomato, absolutely repulsed by it. Some folks are allergic to tomato, this can explain the fear.

Most fear of chickens is fleeting, reserved for children or city slickers getting chased by a rooster. Swan or goose devils would likely be much stronger.

I am looking forward to Denji fulfilling his contract with the Blood Devil by becoming friends with the blood devil’s next incarnation. I am sure this will be like three years away.

I would assume the primal fears would be darkness, fire, pain, water (drowning?), and blood. But we know blood isn’t a primal fear, so I’m off on at least one.

Early on I know a lot of people in this thread were assuming Makima would be the humanity devil, and while we know that’s not the case now, I’m still assuming there will be a very strong ‘humans’ or ‘people’ devil.

Humans have never been that afraid of chainsaws it’s all devil based fear. It’s human adoration which weakened him not absence of fear as they never would have been that afraid of chainsaws

In the first few chapters Makima talks about how devils get strengthened by fear. She asks if getting cut by a blade sounds scary, then says “now imagine being cut by a chainsaw” and says that’s why Chainsaw is so powerful.

I am guessing this season will end with Denji’s movie date with Makima since that’s right after Katana wraps up and right before Reze shows up. It would be a pretty decent spot to ‘end’ as well.

Someone mentioned the Bomb Girl arc as being a movie and that sounds fairly reasonable. I’d rather it just be a season but considering how profitable anime movies have been recently, it could be a thing.

Man, October kicks rear end.

Just watched ep 2. I have a feeling Power is going to be even more popular with the anime only crowd than she was with the manga crows. I honestly thought Power was a bit annoying at first but she obviously grew on me pretty quickly, and by the end of part one I was quite attached.

I also can't really tell if the anime is making everything Makima says and does a bit more sinister than it came across in the manga or if that's just my own foreknowledge coloring everything.

I have a different theory: This is Yuko’s literal older sister who has a stronger contract with the Justice devil and can therefore revive her.
