Okay morning moon is caught up, no more spoiler tags!

Because Nayuta fired her chain at Asa’s head and not her heart, I’m guessing it means she sees Yoru and is going to yank him/her out

Nayuta hating Yoru but being totally cool with Asa would be an interesting twist.

Turns out she has no issue with her brother/roommate dating, she just doesn't want any body snatching devils making schemes and being weird in her apartment.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

Also keep in mind that this is technically a family reunion between Nayuta and Yoru given they're both Horsemen.

We've already seen what Yoru thinks about Fami, I can only imagine the relationship with Makima/Nayuta.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I feel like this could go a lot of directions.

It sorta depends on how much information Nayuta retained as the Control Devil, like does she recognize War? Does she still want to destroy war, death, hunger, etc? (Kinda think not on this one, given the arrangement with Denji and such)

I'm also not sure if the control chain is necessarily lethal, like it probably is, I don't recall anyone coming back from being directly controlled that couldn't also revive with some blood and even then I'm probably misremembering and she just held on to some devils. Asa is a unique case too, like it's probably a safe bet that she can revive from blood, but she's not really a fiend, she's not like Denji, she's basically a dissociative identity fiend at best based on current knowledge.

At any rate they'll have to address Nayuta's deal with Asa if she's not dead, temporarily or otherwise, so that'll probably get things moving, especially if War recognizes Control.

Somehow regardless of what happens Denji still won't be revealed as Chainsaw Man because that'd be funny.

Very cool how devils powers are interpreted

The conquest horseman; when I think of conquest I think of wars and colonization but instead is interpreted as coercion and manipulation

Darkness’ power is interpreted as fear of the unknown, so it does weird inscrutable things

Maybe because chainsaws don’t just cut, they also eat away material, Pochita can eat devils and erase them.

I’ve been nursing a fan theory that eventually we’ll find out that Pochita isn’t actually powered by the fear of chainsaws but the fear of extinction and is actually a primal fear. Erasing things from history just seems way too powerful for a regular Devil

Very curious to see how Famine’s power is interpreted.

We get in the comic that Chainsaw Man's power is mostly fueled by demons fear of him not humans so his power level is only kinda related to fear of chainsaws anyways.

Yeah not so much a fan theory, maybe more of a daydream

I think they mentioned that human fear of him also powers him to an extent, they say when people start hero worshipping him he supposedly gets weaker? But I haven’t seen that limit him in his fights so who knows

Yoru really wants that sword, but also, why did she take so long if that was her plan? Nonetheless, I believe all of Denji's kisses, so far, have transitioned into some episode of discord shortly after the kiss begins.

Because, thanks to sharing Asa's brain, she wants the other sword, too. Means she's more likely to savor the moment.

Also, about Nayuta's plant.

Seen speculation that, because it's an Aloe, she's actually overwatering it. Meanwhile, Denji's is fine because he's doing the bare minimum.

Interesting theorizing that Asa’s tripping is some sort of subconscious self-sabotage to avoid feeling like she’s in control and therefore avoid responsibility for her unhappiness

The Control Devil having a new context as her nemesis would be really fun to ponder over

Too early to say this is what’s going on but it’s compelling enough to keep tabs on

I’m reminded of her last moments before she got killed and realized people were jealous of her and she could have been happy all this time

Hmm Japanese fans are refusing to buy the chainsaw man season 1 Blu-ray because they don’t like the show’s direction? What?

They’re even teasing the director on twitter with 1735 memes (the number of units they sold)

What was reported, but I don't know if it was accurate, is that people were complaining about it feeling too western in terms of style and animation.

The manga feels like it’s drawn some of its inspiration from western cinema. Fujimoto himself has said as much. I don’t feel like it’s untrue to the source material to stay within that style.

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.

It looks really good? Like, not perfect, I think the colors could be a little more lush, but the art direction feels really consistant

My only complaint is that I wish they had made Makima look a little more bloody and sinister after she was shot and she was standing behind the guy, but the tension and pacing of all those scenes felt good

I hope the low DVD sales doesn't affect the next seasons. There is SO MUCH from this manga that needs to be animated
