I lived and breathed this manga and this author's work for years. Since the time when I was hurt and confused to happy, and that happiness was really impactful for me, all the good I remember and feel from this is Asa. For a very long time I wanted to blame the author, say that he betrayed my heart when Asa was getting treated poorly. And now that anger and pain feels sad, that no matter what I do, Asa's fate is sealed. I didn't live a good life, but I'm still glad, more than that, I'm overjoyed that Asa was part of my life. Even if she's hurt, even if she's helpless, even if she's pathetic, I love her. I will always love her.
>>
>>282903392
What is Reze’s true personality? We actually only get a super brief glimpse of it during the beach scene and maybe here and there during her fights. She seemed very cynical

Is there any truth to her performance before the Bomb Devil reveal or was it complete bullshit?

Its just Pee that thinks SCUMji wont die. We know Denji is pathetic and weak, that part that you don't accept is that he deserves all that is happening to him and worse.

He betrayed his family and learned nothing from Aki and Powers deaths. He is a pussy unable to face realty and overcome it for the people he loves, he drowns himself in self-pity because that is the easy way out. Makima told him he was worthless scum. Denji proved her right.

Fuck the schizos, because Denji and Asa aren't going to die and Conquest aka Nayuta, Reze and Blood Devil will return.

Everything we saw is Reze's true personality.
Her final scenes add a twist to the reader's previous perception on her character, suddenly it's revealed that everything that happened was actually 100% genuine.
It's why despite only being in the story for such a short amount of time, her character is extremely solid.

Who were the upper management even makima respected? What did they know about her plan? Did they raise her?
Why did they let Denji run loose for so long? If they were aware Nayuta was Makima reincarnated why didn't they snatch her?
Corrupt? Who corrupts them? Do they have an end goal besides the aging thing? Kishibe knew where to snatch nayuta 1 millisecond after she spawned, do they have a way to keep track of some devils?

It's just a very generic organization which doesn't fit well with the very start of part 1 where its implied to be something complex that we will explore later

No joke. The most baffling to me is how the architecture and the culture of the CSM world is just like us while they have been coexisting with devils for thousands of years. In SNK you can see how the titans existence shappend the architecture and culture of humans, but in CSM you can't see anything of this, for example when the Chainsaw apocalypse happened we see a bunch of randoms using improvised spears, but its obvious that in that kind of world literally everyone should be trained in self-defense and they should have an arsenal of good weapons for selfdefense in basically every building. They should have bunkers everywhere too, but we say 0.

They never raised Makima, that is people misunderstanding what Kishibe said about if Nayuta was raised by Public Safety, she would likely turn into Makima 2.0. Not that PS raised her and Makima never respected the upper management, she was simply pretending to be a "good" devil with them because they are gone after Makima took control of PS. Also PS couldn't get rid of Denji due his status of being a hero hence they waited for the perfect excuse to do it..
>>
>>282904716
>Now ask yourself why any of those questions matter to the actual story.
Because part 1 constantly set up PS and the various governments as part of the problem that would have to be eventually addressed. It literally ends with Kishibe entrusting Nayuta to Denji PRECISELY because PS cannot be trusted.
>You're all so focused on "worldbuilding" that you forget you need an actual story

It's not a coincidence, the two things are related.

That's really obscure because how was WW2 fought when devils were around? My personal headcanon is that Devils started entering Earth when Pochita ate some devils he shouldnt have eaten like one of the fates other than death and that made them start spawning on Earth

But that also wouldn't explain Quanxi being the first devil hunter and the bow hybrid. Bows arent that feared in modern times

Actually i don't even think CSM is does that bad in this aspect, we see shit happening around the world like the USSR being nuked or GD showing up in America. I just think that's not one of Fujimoto's strongest traits

Fujimoto is the other extreme, he’s absolutely fucking allergic to worldbuilding unless it’s absolutely necessary, and it’s worse in shart poo than in part 1. We just had a recent example with the US giving yoru her 54th asspull powerup by nuking the USSR in a conflict have literally no idea about. As a matter of fact I would say it’s actually a major problem in part 2 because fattymoto has been building up the end of the world for 2 years yet we have literally no idea how any other place besides japan is handling it, we barely know how japan itself is handling it. The story is hyperfocused on denji and asa and that doesn’t work as well as it could because both Asa and Denji have been uncharismatic zombies for months now. It also leads into how he handles his side characters because people like Yoshida and Fumiko are ACTING like it’s the end of the world and making these harsh decisions yet we have no reason to give a shit because we sed only glimpses of it when it’s relevant to zombji and zombsa and we therefore relate less to these side characters because we’re too busy staring at Shiga’s panties for the 3rd time.

I don't even know why they are so against it, it's obvious that Denji won't remain dead. It pays off for Asa to finally get blood on her hands after so long, it creates excellent drama (something Part 2 sorely lacks) and it creates strong antagonism (another thing Part 2 desperately needs) if an antagonist forces Asa to do it, which is the most likely outcome given Bucky.

You've exposed the secret behind Fujimoto's hackery.
He's an author who leaves all the heavy lifting to the audience. He'll touch something on a surface level, and the audience will choose to read into it and see a deeper story than what Fujimoto actually wrote.
Fumiko getting a STD devil contract at 14 could mean she was a victim of sexual abuse who wanted to regain control over her life... or it could also just mean she's a slut.

A minimum of worldbuilding is assumed to be NECESSARY
Without it, anything can happen.
How MUCH worldbuilding is necessary depends on the story
A medieval world can probably run on the reader's expectations of how things should be
A modern world, or something set in the 80s, likewise can run on expectations even with its artistic liberties.
A sci fi story probably needs to at least not break the rules of its tech, it's a tad more effort.

Now, if your story is heavily dependent on politics (PS is corrupt, the president of japan deals with devils, soviet assassins are coming, the devils have specific mechanics they respect, pochita has specific mechanics of how he works, etc etc) then you have some pretty heavy lifting to do with your worldbuilding because you have introduced so many factors into your story that forgetting about them will take the reader out of the experience and break its disbelief

My issue is NOT that Fujimoto should spend 1000 charpters on his world, but rather to not set up things that he's later going to disregard or forget to expand.

There is enough of them that they can break disbelief, and when you break disbelief in fiction, you also break the chance of your actual story, emotions, and messages to reach the reader in the same impactful way that they would if the reader was completely immersed
If frodo shoved a rocket in his ass and flew to mount doom in the last part of the last book, after already struggling, the character moments, plot and messages would remain the EXACT SAME
And yet it would be remembered as a terrible ending, because since when does Frodo have a fucking rocket to do that? It would take the reader out of it, completely, it would thus fail to deliver the message, the characters, and the story payoff even if those are still there.

And those things are still the plot of more than half csm
The whole of part 1 is that, the gun devil is revealed to be owned by governments
Part 2 has a lot of it as well, even if more random

Because yes, the world does indeed inform the story and the plot

We are not discussing padding for Elden Ring or "what do they eat" with a picture of a city as the OP image here, we are discussing the motivation of one of the main forces at play in all of the 200 something charpters, the organization every single important character was part of or dealt with

I give zero fucks about world-building in a Fujimoto manga. Everyone reads it for the characters. He needs to do a better job with the characters. That's it.
The Reze movie isn't a success because there's some deep, complex story behind her being a Soviet spy who infiltrates the Japanese society in order to hunt down her target. That's all explained in about 2 sentences.
It's a success because of the character interactions and how they build up to the eventual violence and tragedy.

Whatever this agenda is, it would be informed by her worldview and upbringing.
Just like Aki was changed by the death of his family, we can assume Fumiko's character is completely different if she was or she was not abused. We could find out, or perhaps we never will, but it *could* be very relevant for her, which is why it's something worth speculating on

NTA but not only there could be a difference in quality of execution, it's also a different medium
An open world game is something you explore, thus building the story piece by piece on your own can be satisfying. It's part of the exploration, part of the game

A manga is a story laid out to you
You can hide details here and there, but it's a story laid out to you so the reader expects the story to be... there.

And as was said here >>282905529 shart poo hasn’t had the character interactions or the build up that would facilitate ignoring how shit the worldbuilding is, a lack of worldbuilding is 99% of the time neutral at best and in part 2’s case bad because the fatty wasted his interesting characters in some cases and in other couldn’t make us care because of said lack of building up the world around them. No one’s talking about writing a fucking thesis on the world of chainsaw man, just more than the bare minimum.

Is it though? Sure, Denji having a shitty childhood is a big part of him and the story, but I wouldn't call that the theme of Chainsaw Man. I think Chainsaw Man is about love, and not only romantic love, maybe companionship is a better word, if I had to boil Chainsaw Man down to a few words it wouldn't be "child abuse victim continues getting abused throughout adulthood" it'd be "lonely guy with a shitty life wants companionship". The child abuse and devils are just flavor.
Saying "Chainsaw Man is about childhood trauma because Denji had a bad childhood" is like a xitterite saying "Chainsaw Man is about rape because Yoru touched Denji's weiner".
>>
>>282906715
see >>282904163
>>
>>282906609
Even then I think there was some implication of something more to him.
The way he talks about a normal life. The way he somehow valued his time with Denji despite barely knowing him.
The impression I get from his character is that he grew up isolated and has a warped perspective of himself / the world.

This COULD mean he's a child soldier or something who was groomed by PS and is really just a victim of a corrupt government... or it could just mean he's a weirdo.
It's the same thing as Fumiko. He's as deep or as shallow as you want him to be.

I didn't really care about Yoshida, but for a character like him to die not only in an unceremoniously but also contradictory manner sets a poor precedence to the story as a whole and retroactively makes all the panels used on him a waste, even if you hate him for some reason, if he was never going to amount to anything in the story it would have been better to just use those panels on something else more interesting.

That was headcanon that seemed pulled out of his ass because we never saw him exhibit such a behavior

While Fumikos reveal goes back to the karaoke scene, from her letting Denji save her from several men down to the thing she was singing about SA
It's headcanon, but it retroactively makes sense
On the other hand Yoshida was just insulting because Fujihack tried to make us care for him by pulling stuff out of his ass and hoping we wouldn't notice noting he said ever happened or was even implied.

>A minimum of worldbuilding is assumed to be NECESSARY
Without it, anything can happen.
How MUCH worldbuilding is necessary depends on the story
A medieval world can probably run on the reader's expectations of how things should be
A modern world, or something set in the 80s, likewise can run on expectations even with its artistic liberties.
A sci fi story probably needs to at least not break the rules of its tech, it's a tad more effort.
This cuts to the heart of the issue. I disagree with the people who say Part 2 needs to shift focus off Denji, or explain more of the mechanics of the world. The key thing missing in part 2 is relevant background information. The world feels empty because the characters are empty. Their motivations are a mystery, they don’t react to the things happening around them, they act in contradictory ways. We don’t learn anything about the world because the world doesn’t seem to matter to the characters.

The Aging arc is a perfect example. There was a shit ton of information about the world that was just dropped on our heads but none of it mattered or expanded our understanding of the story because the characters had no reaction to it.

Only after she has a resolution about her main thing, she can move on to other character traits

Aki is well written, all his panel time is effective in building his character. Asa was like that in early part2 but later she became more of a background nothingburger character like Power.

Different types of characters demand differing levels of focus, Power doesn't need focus because the strong suits of her character lie in the mostly comedic dynamics she has with Denji, Kobeni, Aki etc. Asa however, demands narrative focus to make her work.

Look at P. There's a reason he's enamored with a Part 1 character. Because Power was actually a fun and likable character who had an emotional sendoff. Compare her second death to Nayuta's or Yoshida's, and one story is clearly better than the other.

he's not nice to women, just asa.
that's why yoru exists to do all the retarded shit that csm characters generally do, to protect asa's image.
it's obvious that fuji treats asa like a porcelain princess that he doesn't wish to "tarnish", which has handicapped her entertainment value in a black comedy manga like csm.

He made several sequences where Denji, the boy she loves and risked her life several times to save, has a summertime romance with her demonic abuser in her body while sparing no thought towards her. You think Fujimoto doesn't know what he is doing? this narrative is completely retarded along with the "Chainsaw Man is just a black comedy manga", go read Part 1.

she was fucking up, but she immediately gets an emotional moment after to make the readers feel bad for her, like when she fell on her ass in aquarium.
meanwhile, with denji and yoru, when they fuck up, they're just left looking like a bunch of retards who are there to be laughed at.
fuji can't properly direct his cruel sense of humor at asa in that manner without looking like a bully.

No it's not, the point is that Aki wasn't treated like Asa at all, every single arc has moments dedicated to showcase change in Aki.
Meanwhile Asa constantly has hers offscreened where she changes or comes to conclusion and the story never bothers to show her reaching those conclusions in the first place. And keep in mind that Asa stands head and shoulders above Aki and any other character aside from Denji in terms of on-screen appearances.

Daily reminder the reason microcuck genuinely believed that Asa's personality and character was like Shirou Emiya from Fate/Stay Night with the same ideal as Shirou, also he stopped shilling CJX because the stupid surface comparison he made with Azuma ended up applying to him even more than Asa, also from what i heard that manga kinda shat the bed, but i don't know if that is true.

Anyone else find it strange that Asa wanted to die because she was responsible for killing tons of people and destroying Tokyo to 10 chapters later calling herself a superhero? Doesn't there feel like a big missing piece in between those 2 mindsets in her character? She went from not trusting Yoru and never wanting to be her friend, to letting her take control to fight Falling Devil to be a superhero?

You're the poster behind >>282907347 aren't you? I don't even know how you can even come to the conclusion that Chainsaw Man is just a black comedy manga when picrel exists.
>Yoru saved the manga
She really, really didn't and personally she got significantly worse for me after the california contract reveal.
As entertaining as she can be (not my cup of tea), comedy and crazyness are good spice, but a good story they do not make. Part 2 fails at connecting with it's audience on an emotional level. There is a reason why Gun and Control arcs - and conversely Aki and Makima - are universally the most highly regarded moments/characters of Chainsaw Man, their presentation is dead serious, so much so that Fujimoto probably realized that and sprinkled comedy through Pochita and Kobeni's characters. Part 2 has none of that, the characters feel inhuman and several scenes that the story seems to make an attempt to make you feel for them just fall completely flat, no amount of crazy things happening can make up for that - in fact, I would even argue that the excess of crazy is one of Part 2's main problems.

CSM also always had black comedy, but Family Burger and Kobeni dance was all Lin's influence

Let it go, even P acknowledged it. Can you address the argument or are you going to keep using ad hominem because you can't?

I think Yoru's case is just that she's a much easier character to write, so Fujimoto had a harder time fucking her up in comparison to the rest of the story. It's not so much that she is crazy good, it's that she is the only remotely good thing left in the story and even that is up to debate.

Liking Denji makes any character less attractive but somehow it's especially true for Yoru. Probably because there is nothing else going on for her character.

Read the manga

This is true

Because it's random, none of the main characters died in part 1 despite being Japanese.

It's an easy job unfortunately.

It was a big surprise that chainsaw(sensou) woman is in love with Chainsaw man
>>
Yoru's shared brain situation with Asa is the only thing that gives her relationship with Denji any depth, without it she is just the most run-of-the-mill tsundere ever written and a pretty retarded one too.

"sensou woman" is Asa no? Yoru is Sensou no Akuma.

>Chainsaw Man is just a black comedy manga
>There is a reason why Gun and Control arcs - and conversely Aki and Makima - are universally the most highly regarded moments/characters of Chainsaw Man
>Part 2 fails at connecting with it's audience on an emotional level.
>Part 2 has none of that, the characters feel inhuman and several scenes that the story seems to make an attempt to make you feel for them just fall completely flat, no amount of crazy things happening can make up for that - in fact, I would even argue that the excess of crazy is one of Part 2's main problems.

Irrefutable.

>Actually, it was Lin that told Fujimoto the arc was too serious and depressing and made him add some comedy to it to brighten the mood
How do you know?

Because it was said in a interview

Its the same interview Lin said Fujimoto threatened him and Shueisha CEO or something that if they didn't accepted his ending he would leak everything on Twitter and then turned off his phone
