this guy I’m 99% certain was really just a human the church was using to gain legitimacy and followers, plus to prove to Asa that they’re trying to help csm. him being identical to the two npc’s behind him is I think the story’s way of saying “he’s just a guy”

This being an imperfect answer that can’t map cleanly onto a real world moral lesson isn’t lost on me, I’m just a little confused as to what emotions the story is trying to elicit from me at this specific juncture.

part 2’s ending hasn’t established a firm enough tone (in my reading experience) for me to read into it whether or not this is meant to follow in the same vein or whether we’re supposed to be taking these moments without as much skepticism.

Of course, I simply wonder whether or not that’s the direction this will go or won’t go. Part 1’s ending had enough hesitancy in it to reasonably convey that the conclusion Denji reached was one that works for him, but isn’t necessarily healthy or a good standard.

So torn between “this is a bad thing and that’s good” and “this is a good thing and that’s bad” because so many plates are in the air with this series right now

what a COMPLETE moron. “chainsaw man will listen to me and eat Yoru and Asa (who his host has a fondness for and I know this because I let it happen unobstructed for months) because hmm.. hm. uh.”

I think it’s a way more interesting question to ask if he would ever go on to kill someone if he had to get his hands dirty

You can’t even denote this by series or anything. I like maybe half the gunvolt games and the other half range from disappointing to not worth playing

The last time a character died and prompted his transformation into BCSM, immediately upon returning to human form, in Aging’s World, we got a lot of his very honest thoughts and feelings about his own personal failures, so I think we could get something similar here.

Whether that new context is fucked up like Aki (more likely) or heartwarming like Power I think that second recontextualized appearance needs to be after Denji has been allowed to come to terms with however he felt about Yoshida under the impression that he’s gone.

oh, and I think there’s a purpose behind the two-part format here too. It’s so Denji (when we next see him in his human form) can be honest about his feelings about Yoshida now that he’s truly dead and gone (as far as he knows) and only after that point can Yoshida re-enter in his new context.

I think Rank-Up Magic was meant to be something similar in terms of evolving Xyz monsters but they kind of stopped that design space after the anime ended

here’s what i said on twitter, basically i feel like fujimoto is keeping stuff that actively needs to be addressed in a box for “Yoru is the villain” without considering how it makes Denji look like a rapist and Asa look like she doesn’t actually perceive Yoru as having done as much wrong as she has

Johan never took an unnecessary action in his master plan, I can’t imagine what you could possibly mean.

I don’t think Denji will do this of his own volition, unless we see some real surprising self-reflection from him we don’t have much precedent for. Things WILL get to that point unless an outside force intervenes

I may just be defeatist but I just don’t see him getting any better, there is no mystery character coming to change his worldview, it’s just this but worse and worse forever, and I think it would be a kinder fate to see him dead than that.

These two will not save each other, Denji will enable Yoru and Yoru will enable Denji and Asa will be ignored, placated until she can be silenced again, and used for sexual pleasure. I’d prefer Denji die than see him reduced any further.

Denji is approaching that point for me, you could argue he’s already there. If it came down to Denji’s life or Asa’s safety from him, kill Denji every time. I don’t want to think he’s beyond saving but I can’t possibly imagine a way out for him at this point.
