Some of you are so confused by how important this chapter was for Denji coming to terms with his situation. He’s genuinely admitted that he’s a piece of shit for want of a better answer and all you can focus on is how many times he mentioned his dick.

Fujimoto even acknowledges the absurdity of the situation by Denji quite literally saying it isn’t funny and that he can’t keep his priorities straight because he’s such a mess.

His only surviving family is missing and he’s more concerned with getting his dick sucked. I think this is telling of the fact that Denji still really doesn’t know what he wants. He’s been a vessel and toy for so many people.

Is he Denji? Is he Chainsaw Man? His heart is quite literally not his own, and his mind is so far in the gutter that it seems impossible for him to come out clean.

Sure, the actual character dialogue is absurd and goofy, but the writing is so nuanced and strangely brilliant that I feel some of you need to remind yourself of the series your reading.

This is pretty much what I took from the chapter. Yes funny, but the undertones of what Denji is saying is so significant about who he is. I reckon this is the biggest moment in the series in terms of Denjis character moment.

@StxDii For me the problem is that we've spent so long on "Denji sad" moments that I can't even be bothered to care at this point.

I really got emotional during the part Denji was in sorrow, but I started laughing so damn hard in the middle of it because of the Fujimoto's bizarre plot.
Even though, it's not getting boring, at least, let's just give time for him to cook!!

There’s a lot of truth to this but I think you’re misunderstanding the word “nuance”. Nuanced writing conveys themes or ideas that aren’t overtly stated. The nuance you spoke of was Denji literally coming right out and admitting how much of a scumbag he is inside, but he’s conveying this message outright. In fact he was screaming it. That’s not nuance. Nuance is something Fujimoto does well with. This was more meant to be a slap in the face from reality, not so much nuance. You’re made to understand everything you originally stated as soon as his meltdown starts.

Fair enough, other than that you were right on the money. We get lost in the “dick, dick, dick” sometimes and forget to read deeper into this IP. I just got my little brother to start watching the show and I have to keep explaining to him that Denji isn’t just a dirty horndog who’s solely driven by personal lust and that he’s much more nuanced and complex than he seems visually! You make a lot of sense though, I appreciate comments like yours!

It's kinda slow right now, but I'm putting my faith in Fujimoto cuz I know he'll COOK for the last arc of this part, and I can't wait to read it, go back, and go "Oooooooh shiiit, THAT'S why that happened!" like I did for Part 1

@CaviarSandwiches Calling it slow is an understatement. This was basic non-fiction manga, just some generic "slice of life" as some might call it, you can even claim Asa just has multiple personality disorder, so if you take the chapter on its own it doesn't look anything like the rest of the manga.

He knows and he hates it more than you ever could. We're actually seeing the most realistic teenage boy depicts at this chapter, blame it to generic battle Shonen you've read regularly to make you think everything has to be a flashy battle so the story is entertaining

Bro denji is so hateable he is just low iq pig tbh don't bash those who do not like that

@Ghost5299 Indeed. I really wish that they had 2 separate entries so that I could have two very different scores for both parts. The second part is not fit for purpose, just the mangaka making a living.

I loved CSM 1-11 volumes but right now im not sure where Fujimoto is going with the story...i hope things get more clear here cause this last chapter just made Denji look even more a fool, I sympathize with fighting lust but why isnt he trying to find Nyuta like he said or have some other friend of Denjis help cause his all alone as far as sides on this one. Everyone wants him dead.

A lot of people seem to have been complaining that these last chapters have been all over the place and random plot wise, but in all honesty, not only is everything akin to Fujimoto’s writing style but the progression of everything seems very organic to me, only thing keeping me off is why they just don’t try to awaken Pochita in an other, and more practical way, the way things are going both Yoru and Katana Man are just having to withstand Denji’s depressed madness and weirdness, and the wishes that come from them. Talking about the man himself, of course he is completely scrambled in the head after everything, of course he can’t accept that Nayuta is possibly dead and is desperately trying to cope with the horrible reality he’s currently in and tried to run off to the first form of escapism he was suggested to, but he is also not completely ignorant of the situation, he just doesn’t quite understand it and most importantly the effect that is having on himself, resulting in the weird breakdown we saw in this chapter. Anyways, just wanted to say I’m happy with the way things are going and am excited to the next chapters.

This is a brilliant chapter, yet many people seem to think it's more just "haha Denji horny" joke. It's development, which shows you the immaturity of the anime community. So many anime treat sex as just a joke, and while yes, there are plenty of sex jokes (hilarious ones at that) in Chainsaw Man, Denji is like around 16-18, to act like his horniness makes him like every other anime perv out there, really gets on my nerves.

So many shows just make the horny character the butt of the joke, and never dives into the reason why, and when that actually happens people are too dense to even notice the writing. Denji literally states it straight out that he's a mess and people think Fujimoto lacks direction... more reading comprehension is needed in the CM fanbase.

The comments saying "there's no way people think this means something" really show a lot about the detachment of so many manga/anime readers from reality. Do you even remember what being a hormone-filled teenager was like? This is real, raw emotion from Denji and people think Fujimoto is only padding time w/horniness. Some people really need to touch grass, because damn, this is just sad...

@Dragona_8002

denji has grown so much throughout all of part 2, and people will still somehow dreadfully misinterpret his continuous growth as "character regression". character development isnt a linear depiction of someone becoming better and fixing their problems. very frustrating to see this be misunderstood
