I would have have the dude get hit by the car, then the background music cuts out and we silently cut to each of the characters horrified faces, finishing on Power and Kobeni looking absolutely terrified and stunned, then we cut to credits. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i'm surprised there aren't more cults, really. the setting seems like very fertile ground for it. no cults at all would also make sense, as pochita ate all sorts of things. There's now a Chainsaw Man cult, which I'm sure will work out great for everyone involved.

what i'm saying is that lots of cults or no cults would both make sense, but few cults is a headscratcher. human thoughts cause the power of individual devils to fluctuate, so cults could actually be very powerful. but instead, they've never come up until just now.

I would not be surprised if killing cults off is common for demons. Didn't the praise of humans weaken Chainsaw Man?

the odd thing is that a cult that venerated a devil would weaken that devil, but a cult that hated and feared a devil would empower them instead. i guess it might be too much of a tangent because that's not really what the story is about.

yum posted:lol before this chapter I always thought Yoshida knew that guy was an assassin but was showing him mercy by pretending not to know but this new piece of characterization makes this scene so much better Now here's the real question: who put this poor autistic teenager in charge of public safety? He was not built for this level of upper management, let him just go to school and occasionally assassinate people.

Personally, he'd pass on the job. He doesn't enjoy being this close to Asa.

Public safety really is not doing so great if so many of the higher ranks got killed off that the teenager working there part time got forcibly promoted to CEO because he was the only one on the payroll still breathing.

I don't think he's actually in charge of public safety. I get the feeling he's either just in charge of this operation, or was specifically left in charge of watching Denji, and now that things are going out of control he's trying to pull whatever resources he can to try and neutralize the wild card.

they put him in charge because he's reliable and knows denji. however, he's reliable because he fights devils for a living, which he is quite good at. his competence in a very specific field does not extend further.

No Wave posted:Yes - restaurants and convenience stores are still operational (which is fairly unbelievable). Like CSM tokyo is just as functional as today which implies insane levels of fortitude/optimism in the people of CSM world. The people in that world are impressive! Well, that's one possibility. Thought exercise: swap the setting and background characters of Chainsaw Man and Invader Zim. How long would it take anyone to spot the difference?

invading hell to kill devils would be the dumbest possible thing anyone could ever do. even in the incredibly unlikely event that the humans didn't get owned immediately, devils that die in hell get sent to earth!

Considering how devils work you would thing more of them would want to protect humans as that is where at least some of their power comes from.

it's possible that devils aren't going to earth, per se. rather, they are going to where humans are. but that'll probably never come up anyway.

Hunt11 posted:Considering how devils work you would thing more of them would want to protect humans as that is where at least some of their power comes from. Devils seem to be pretty stupid and impulsive in general. Makima held up Power as being atypically rational which tells you something. I continue to think the Horseman are also atypical in how they interact with humanity, either because of how their powers work, or just being more intelligent.

For their part, Devils probably think humans are pretty stupid for wrecking the environment they need to perpetuate the species. Something something extended metaphor for the tragedy of the commons, and Denji is the hero because he has extremely clear, and modest, goals for what he wants out of life and will be satisfied with no more than that.

Still pretty modest compared to the harms a billionaire class can inflict. And the whole "no ethical consumption under capitalism" discourse does take on interesting dimensions when you're talking about someone who can consume entire concepts.
