like, the fumiko karaoke scene is a prime example of this sort of writing style. why the hell did they get attacked by a whole squadron of unnamed men? that shit had literally no reason to happen!

but, it did anyway, and the series is better for it.

i will say that it's inaccurate to imagine the film as one which "punishes the audience for being invested". it's just very nonstandard in how it approaches comedic narrative; the characters matter more than anything else, and the convoluted background plot is just a vessel for their interactions.

it's a satirization of america's sociocultural philosophy. yoru wants to lead a genocidal "holy war", fueled by... the power of friendship. yerp, that's america!

i am so unbelievably confident in this happening, i've gone beyond theorizing... i'm straight up nostradamus. this WILL occur.

take note of yoru saying "if you kill death devil, her powers will activate!"

huh... this is the first time this sentiment has EVER been expressed! death literally just got decapitated, and yoru still says it with full belief...

holy fuck she WENT OFF TO THE SIDE AND FED YORU MISINFORMATION.

example: this whole interaction. read these panels and and try to see if anything is off. give it a real deep pondering...

oh yeah She can't fucking die and she intentionally disemboweled herself in an implied suicide attempt! fujimoto writes these scenes in a way that makes us entirely forget!

it's blaringly clear to me that these past few chapters have been leading up to something beyond a poorly-executed Happy Emotional Climax. shits about to get weird

denji's first scene in part 2 was of him inflicting harm from picking an arbitrary third option. his entire conflict is reliant on that being negative choice; his unwillingness to commit to something real and true.

219 is denji saving the cat again. and, now, the consequences will be a lot heavier.

oh my god Fujimoto they don't see what you and i see see fujimoto FUJIMOTOOOO

did you like

it would work in harsh cooperation with the constant part 1 parallels littering part 2. death seems exactly the type of character to trace the work of her predecessors. deeply inspired, but unfit to make something truly her own.

yoru, the loud and overconfident thief... death, a thief all the same.

i've been thinking about the amazing and underrated webcomic, 'the property of hate'. this scene in particular, where a character walks *behind* a page, browsing the panels in order, spectating the story...

exactly the sort of imagery i could imagine fujimoto using, with death perusing her work.

painfully, the lover of everyday human culture is doomed to forever be separated from it. without respite. how can someone live such a tragic existence?

well... why not create her own version of existence? one where she writes everything? one where she participates in any role she desires?

hello sorry this is completely unrelated, but are you still keeping up with chainsaw man??? the newest chapter is absolutely boggling (positive) and i would love to see you read it

take notice of how falling regenerates instantly after each hit, and how the final panel of yoru's weapon stockpile are literally 100% all swords/pointythings.

fujimoto is literally making fun of yoru only ever making swords by having it backfire on her in a time of desperation.

this is random but ive been playing deltarune for the first time, just finished chapter 3... and i wanted to ask what ur fav character might be
June 10, 2025 at 5:13 PM
and... this integral input, in my dreams, is them and denji having completely healthy and consensual sex. it sounds weird and bizarre but I HAVE THE VISION!!

my personal headcanon is that the nail fiend, who got a very flashy and focused introduction only to completely disappear from the narrative, is going to be part 2's "kobeni"; a character who formerly didn't interact with denji very much, but ended up giving integral input towards his development
April 19, 2025 at 12:10 AM
a strong part of me genuinely believes that non-hetero sex is going to be a MAJOR plot point, especially for denji's arc. i can totally imagine fujimoto doing something like that.
