I still think the scale earrings lady is Famine.
Also the rip cord on the student president is a red herring and is just fake to get attention. I’m not sure how he fakes it in battle though, maybe he’s contracted with the saw devil or something.


Impostor Devil maybe?

Genuine question since I can't remember.

How do people know about the rip cord but not Denji's identity?

Presumably it's visible during his televised fights. They also know he's a Highschooler which is probably becuase he's been seen wearing his uniform while fighting.


Oh, anbd the ED for ep 7 is back on form after last weeks lull. A CSM JRPG and cheesecake pans of the main ladies then a stunning advert for Skittles; taste the Rainbow. Good times. They really got the old VHS look down.

Yeah, during his fight with Aki-47 a bunch of them gather around him and feed him blood and pull his chord

Denji: Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I went on a date with a girl who was planning to murder me I'd have 3 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened three times, right?

There is at least one other chainsawman???? Mystery Girl returns???? Denji about to get weaponized???

Part 2 is getting really good. The last big fight set a lot of stuff in motion I’m very excited to see.

Stray observations: Part time work against the rules implies Denji might still be working for someone. Or that’s a Japanese school thing idk.

Rip chord earrings could very well be the justice devil. Clearly they have some form of transformation powers. There’s a False-batman vigilante plot happening, and I have a feeling we’re gonna see more than just one chainsaw clones.

Poor Denji getting a date and looking sort of defeated. Man he is lonely and depressed. My poor sweet boy~


a lot of japanese schools forbid students from working part time jobs, yes

If it was any other manga, I'd be 100% sure Denji won't/can't be turned into a weapon. With this one, I'm only 90% sure.

Past precedent suggests no, promotional art suggests yes. We'll see.

Poor Denji. A victim of school rules.

Part 2 has been imo more interesting than part 1 already since it's developing somewhat more slowly and I like Asa and Yoru a lot as characters, though I went in with quite low expectations due to the new setting

Nayuta: I took out a 5,000,000 yen life insurance policy on him, so when you kill him make it look like an accident. The dogs and I have big plans for that money.

But seriously, if Denji does get turned into a weapon I really don't see why he wouldn't just heal up back to normal after Asa is done using him to kill imposter Chainsaw Man.

He'll be pissed about it sure, but he's survived way worse things.

Yeah I bet she’ll start to like him, Yuro switches in to rip off an arm, Denji goes full “oh poo poo you’re a devil vroom vroom” and then they realize the imposter has to be dealt with or something

Imagine if Nayuta inherited Makima's sense of humor, and is just doing all she can to maximize the misunderstandings for her own amusement.

Living the Dream
The thing about Chainsaw Man that's fun to me is how when it sets itself up to do something you as a reader know they're not gonna do because it's weekly jump and they won't do the thing- Fujimoto goes basically 2 steps closer than you expect to where even as a jaded reader/watcher you're like "wait what the gently caress, no way" before not doing it.

Himeno asking Denji if he wants to have sex will instantly set off your "nah, no loving way they're doing this. She's gonna like pass out on top of him or puke again or whatever" and she has taken his shirt off and is pulling his pants down by the time Fujimoto punches out of the bit

And it sometimes, just sometimes, does the thing.

Like Aki getting the vision that he and Power will die. You know Shonen, you know there'll be a loophole, you know the most popular characters in the manga won't go out like that... and then there you go.

I am assume the club president is the second "chainsaw man." It would make sense for him to kill Yuko. Also, I am surprise at this point that Denji does not have any trust issues when it comes to romantic relationships.
