Dang, makes sense coming from the creator of Fire Punch that the art looks even better when everything is on fire

Also, from Santa’s reaction it seems more and more likely that the reason the chainsaw devil is so powerful is because other devils fear it


Awesome action this chapter

If anything he's drawing more power from her growing fear as the fight drags on. He was chucking a car and shrugging off fiery explosions by the end.

One of the traditional four is Conquest. AKA Control.

So, if you're wondering what Makima's role was in that fight... there you go.

The four horsemen aren't her pawns. They're her coworkers.

Who she hates.


Meanwhile, I find it amusing that Chainsaw Man has a hero's inner monster is unleashed plot right after Jujutsu does.

The difference is that Sukuna is a villain who uses the opportunity to conduct mass murder to make Yuji's life horrible, while Poochita is a good boy who just wants to fulfil Denji's dreams... which happens to include some mass murder because, you know. He's the Hero of Hell, Chainsaw Man.

I'm sure Jump editors have a hand in making big moments in different mangas line up like that. I've noticed it happen quite a few times over the past few years.

I looked up the Chainsaw Wikipedia entry because I was curious to how long could the Chainsaw devil could have existed. I'm surprised to say it goes back to the late 18th century with its origins as a horrifying to think about bone cutting surgical implement called an osteotome. The first wood cutting chainsaws go back to the early 20th century.

In regards to the film discussion it is my personal theory that chainsaw centric slasher films played a role in empowering the chainsaw devil. The author does like invoking cinema.

Regarding Chainsaw Devil's unique powers. I don't think he originally had them, but instead gained them after earning the fear of other devils for his notoriously brutal fights. Their fear of encountering the Chainsaw Devil manifested the power to erase concepts related to them.

It's pretty odd they have a school club focused on an occupation that's basically suicide. Then again bringing the chicken devil to school was no big deal either. Maybe society is much less risk averse when some big shot devil could decimate your city at any time.

I am pretty curious about War's ownership of something as a concept. If they became Japanese PM presumably they could consider themselves the boss/owner of Japan. could they convert the entire nation into a weapon then? I assume yes, their power seems similar to Makima's in how it takes hold and grows. Makes sense for conflict and control to both be powers that build in strength as they get more people to fall under their banner.

I also wonder how leverage would work. If War manages to take charge of the devil hunter club then uses them effectively as hostages could they consider that ownership of the school if the principal capitulates to their demands. Very interesting power concept. My first thought was that it was limited if she had to "own" things. However considering how open to interpretation ownership is War can really build up an incredible power to wield.

I assume it means people willing/obligated to fight for war or Mitaka. Like a soldier.

Was thinking about last episode and Makima just no selling the drinking competition. Do you think that was part of her contract with the prime minister and as a result some citizen(s) got super drunk at random?

Makima can drink like nobody's business and be fine because she doesn't lose control.

I think my favorite thing is the amazing coincidence that this spot-on thread title was chosen well before the conclusion of part 1.

In the movie, "A Boy and His Dog", the main character and his psychic dog companion choose each other's survival and end up killing and eating the duplicitous love interest.

I wonder how many devils had their pelvis's savaged when chainsaws were just for assisting in child birth. Tbf that is an absolutely horrific thought if you are an expecting mother to face, so pretty good fear.



Question on Aki. When he is tied up to Makima for his antemortem contract how did he die? One minute alive then he was dead and tied to Makima. Did she kill him and tie him up? Or did the gun devil kill him in the initial barrage and then Aki immediately got joined with Makima?

I always took the death toll with Aki at the end of it meaning he died fighting the gun devil with Makima, but now I realize he could have just been one of the initial victims.

Yep, Aki was in the list.

:tinfoil: : The apocalypse is Chainsaw Devil rampaging through hell and accidentally sending thousands of Devils and dozens of Primal Fears to Earth. Yoshida (or his superiors) and Fami roughly know this thanks to the Nostradamus prophecy, which is why they focus so much on either trying to make sure Denji has ordinary life and has no need to turn into Chainsaw Man (Yoshida) or by trying to weaken Chainsaw Devil by creating Chainsaw Man cults and a fake Chainsaw Man (Fami).

I think it's going to be related to pochita's erasure ability. What happens to the logic of the world when Chainsaw Man goes on a feeding frenzy?

I just came to the realization that the reason why there's only weapon hybrids is that they are tools to be wielded and thus are more amenable to cooperating with humans and ultimately most effective when wielded as well. Also I suspect it's not just weapons, but tools in general. I wonder if there's some other scary tool devils out there that have hybridized like pochita did. Wood lathe man...

Asa only has plot armour in the sense that she doesn’t have Hybrid level immortality, so there’s a limit to what terrible things Fujimoto can do to her. So he was okay making her lose an arm a few chapters back, but doesn’t want to kill her off.


I wonder when the other chainsaw man will turn up again. He seemed to have a vested interest in helping Denji and Asa out.
