Lol how the hell does this human society even keep functioning if anyone can make a pact with the devil and be a mass death machine.

Oh wait that’s not much different than real life only without the cool monsters

It seems like most devil pacts don't actually give you much power, honestly. It looks like most of them go the way of the zombie devil in that the devil just goes "lmao, sucker" and basically just uses your flesh for its own ends.

You're looking at the wrong angles. A contract needs to have something the Devil wants, and most of the powerful ones are locked down one way or another. You want precognition, you need to be working for the Japanese government to get down in the vaults, and if you want a deal with Darkness, you need to get someone all the way to hell with some first rate human sacrifices in tow.

The real issue is the Devils themselves, since, well... Makima is one of the nice ones. You're looking at 35% of the population dying to Devils. Murders cap out at 5 percent. Easy to see where the focus should be in terms of threat.

they also mention that japan is prime devil territory a couple of times. presumably there's other places that are slightly less of a clusterfuck.

That seems to be a Denji thing as opposed to a general Japan thing. Anyone else who hears about it is kind of shocked, and the other orphans we've seen have gotten government stipends to survive until adulthood rather than winding up in the hands of the Yakuza.

Just one year. A bargain!

Meanwhile, Japan's Devil Hunting bureau could have got Chainsaw Man for just jam on toast, but Miss Makima had to throw in salad and coffee. Another sign of superior American negotiating tactics.

I don't think part 2 was planned in much detail from part 1, in general. Fujimoto said the whole impetus for continuing was that Denji was still a superhero at the end of part 1, and that he felt a hero's story wasn't complete until he dies (like Iron Man) or quits (like Batman, who he specifically brought up in regards to the Dark Knight Rises). So he needed to keep Denji around until then.

:catstare:

Fujimoto you poo poo

It better be the loving latter

Let Denji have SOMETHING for a period of time longer than, like, a month.

One year of life versus what Makima had planned is a pretty good deal all things considered.

So the episode titles are available online and the last episode title is the same name as the beginning chapter of the war devil arc. Has it been confirmed how far they’re going for this season cus it feels like it would be absolutely insane for it to blast through part 1 in 12 episodes

"Journalism" is very generous. It's not like it's Anime news network or something (which is the first place I checked for episode titles) it's some lovely content farm with a front page made up of 10 THINGS YOU WON'T BELIEVE ABOUT [insert pop culture thing here] like 99% of websites are now

I have it on trusted sources that the anime will have a new exclusive ending where Denji dies and wakes up in WW2 Germany

And then he eats Nazis.

funfact about the snail parasite from the op. the way they work is that, as this tweet explains, they take over the snail's and motor functions and then imitate a caterpillar and stand out in the open to get a bird to eat them. but the snail actually survives - the bird doesnt eat the whole body, just the eyes. the snail regrows its eyestalks and continues on its way, just like denji survives being under makima's thumb.

Wow wait, the anime just started. Some new people might have joined the thread from watching the first episode, and just read that line.

edit: I just realized that there is a separate thread for the anime. I hope the anime only watchers did not join the wrong thread.

there's an anime thread, its fine to discuss the manga without spoiler tags in the manga thread imo.

It symbolizes Denji not getting laid because everyone who acts like they might want to have sex with him is actually planning to murder him.
