Even if Chainsaw Man didn't show up in some of the sickest paneling I've seen for an action scene in some time it was already a great chapter but holy gently caress the cockroach devil (who is yuge lol) going "uwahhhh?!" at Denji solving his trolley problem was so loving funny as is chainsaw man saving them by accident. Really blessed to be reading this manga for real

This is such an amazing chapter, holy poo poo.PringleCreamEgg posted:Chainsaw Man is so good it’s almost unfair to any other comic on the market. The fact that we have comics as good as Chainsaw Man and Dandadan running at the same time is a goddamn miracle.

Hace posted:the ending is obviously great, but the old guy going "aw you saved a cat, that's sweet" and then asa bursting into tears was also good It's a parallel between the protagonists. Asa let her mother die when saving a cat, and was praised for it, which further traumatized her. Denji let six people die when saving a cat, was praised for it, and at least on the surface doesn't care, just giving a cool action movie one-liner. He's a hero (he's a superhero), the hero of today, but to survive in the role, he can't give the same attention to the people he failed to save.

I love it because Denji knows the choices are bullshit because he'd already lost everything by making bullshit choices and he's content with just saving a cat, meanwhile for Asa it was the worst thing in the world and she lost her mother trying to save something else. Just showing the differences between the two main characters so simply rules. I do like that Asa knows its a stupid loving idea to try to save someone but she does it anyway. Good character.

Good to see tornado meat baby again. I was hoping to see chainsaw riding beam as well, but alas. Denji chose wrong. I’m not a cat person.

I dunno. Denji not giving a poo poo about saving anyone seemed a little out of character but maybe things have changed since the last series and maybe he's more Chainsaw than Denji now.

The chainsaw devil is the devil you cry out to save you from other devils, and then the chainsaw devil cuts apart everyone at the scene. that was said in part 1! I don't think Denji ever particularly valued human life either.

Just showing the differences between the two main characters so simply rules. Not just making bullshit choices. Worrying about bullshit choices. Denji's internal conflict over having killed Aki lead to Power's death, while committing to choices, rough as it got, still left him in a position to get back up and keep going. Thinking about who he could have saved means fewer people he will save.

I don't think Denji ever particularly valued human life either. He did. When he was fighting Santa Claus he was rattled when she sent the doll people at him and had to be reminded that they were almost certainly beyond any sort of saving. Chainsaw Devil and Chainsaw Man aren't the same which was the problem Makima was trying to resolve.

Denji actively saved people every chance he got in part 1 but I think the point of this is that given a bullshit supervillain choice Denji's always going to go with option 3

Yeah, I think the thing about Denji is that he fundamentally doesn't believe he can save everyone, so he just goes for the easy option of killing the incredibly lethal monster he's fighting and hoping that will save a lot of people. It's not callousness, it's a lack of self-worth (or a lack of arrogance, if you're feeling more charitable).

Killing the bad guy is definitely the correct call, if he's prepared to play this game then he'll keep killing people as long as he's alive.

I keep re-reading the last couple pages and am continually impressed by panel composition and the way sound effect visuals are incorporated into it. There was some twitter thread (I think from the official translator?) about it during Part 1, and Fujimoto is still absolutely crushing it.

It's pretty simple. Denji's priorities for saving are Boobs Food Cat Other

Yeah, it's the correct choice assuming you aren't fast enough to save people *and* kill the monster. It's not the easy choice, but if a dude is blitzing around destroying a city you don't take a time out to save a few people when you have the kill shot. You take the killshot, and it's over.

the structure of asa's "i always trip at the critical moment" flashback was great. fujimoto just has such an ability to draw a story with so much more impact than a written summary would convey

I honestly don't have a sense of what the trolley question logic in the CSM universe is. Life is incredibly cheap and I figure that street preacher's statistics were actually pretty rosey but on the other hand what's the point of killing a devil that just comes back anyway?

Also I'd imagine watching Chainsaw Man kill a personification of humanity's fears on a constant basis would slowly lessen peoples' fears of said thing or you could let the building size monster rampage and kill people indefinitely, I guess
