If you call Asa a love interest for Denji just because she tried to save him and wanted him to be happy then you should call Aki a Denji's romance interest too right?

And ntm there were many implications in the manga that Asa only saw Denji as ... her dad 2.0, in the hedonism aspect, that's all.

Lol don't know who had it worse Jjjfans or csmfans ngl

>>287860831
I believe Asa only tried to save Denji because she regretted failing to save her dad that time. And now she saw many similarities with her dad in Denji. She helped him to make up for her past mistake and she mistook it as romantic love while it was not.

In some ways Asa's 'love' for Denji is very much the same as Denji's 'love' for Makima isn't it?

>Honest Asa discourse
You like a character, you don’t have an obligation to be vulnerable here or strong for Asa’s sake. Fuji wrote Asa in very malicious way, intentionally feeding into the mockery not as a lighthearted banter but just spiteful cruelty. Asa is wonderful despite the fact. What I mean to say is that other readers see Asa very differently and you don’t have to be a part of that. Just find the right people, you surely won’t find any here.

I honestly am still in shock over that ending. Even knowing how bad Part 2 had been, I didn’t expect Fujimoto to destroy his own story like that, basically making everything we followed for years meaningless. I get that he wanted to do an ending like The Big Lebowski (without realizing that was a comedy movie, while Chainsaw Man is a shonen manga people followed for years and took seriously), but there’s something beyond that. It feels like Fujimoto was just tired of Chainsaw Man and wanted to end the manga in any way possible, even if it meant deliberately ruining it.

Like, it’s not for nothing that the titular character tells the protagonist he was happier when he was a nobody, and then erases himself and rewrites reality so that 99% of what we followed in the story is wiped out too. That feels 100% like Fujimoto saying he was tired of Chainsaw Man and wanted to go back to being an unknown author who wrote with passion.


And btw, did you guys see Fujimoto’s comments after the ending? They were completely shallow, empty, and uninterested. He showed more enthusiasm talking about movies he’s been watching than about the series that gave him the fame he has today. But I guess that’s the point, he hates the fame he has.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mangaka lose so much love for their own work like Fujimoto has. It’s genuinely sad to see...
>>
>>287863213
lmao, no, he crawled up his own ass with each character with garbage subversion he was obsessed with wanting to be seen as a different and unpredictable mangaka, and so he just ended up with a shit story. He doesn't hate it, he hates that fans are billion times more creative than he is and all he can do is rip off movies he watched and make rapey porno tier characters, it doesn't deserve sympathy, he doesn't get any from me. Boo hoo, the millionaire is sad because he's a successful artist. Listen to yourself, if you're going to judge his character atleast do it truthfully. He's every bit as needy insecure and greedy as any other faggot walking the face of this earth.

Just like Denji saw Makima as the mother he never knew


I keep wondering if Fujimoto genuinely wanted to draw a parallel between Denji's relationship with Asa and Denji's relationship with Makima. Obviously, Denji isn't as horrible to Asa as Makima was to him, and the last chapter had a "cute" scene of Denji stopping Asa from killing Bucky, but even so, some things are hard to ignore.

Yes exactly this
>>
>>287860831
Denji's only love interests were Reze and Makima and disowned Power as a woman in the story.
Karma hit him after losing Pochita, now he's Power's property 'till he dies.

>>287863676
The manga showed what that anon said though.

>>287863884
I remember you quoted some interview of Fujimoto to prove Denji only saw Makima as a mother figure though...that was you right?
>>
>>287863937
So you moved the goalpost already, yes i did. How does this changes the fact Denji's love for Makima was genuine?
>Yes, Denji still has complex, lingering feelings for Makima, even after her death, viewing her as his first real love and a mother figure who showed him kindness, despite her horrific abuse; he even cannibalized her as a twisted act of love and later takes on her reincarnation, Nayuta, as his responsibility, showing a continued connection. While he tries to move on in Part 2 and develops new relationships (like with Asa), he gets visibly bothered by Makima-like traits in others, indicating he hasn't fully let go of her impact on him.

New information from Fujimoto interview
Interviewer: So how do you cope with the stress of weekly manga?
Fujimoto: I stuff my asshole with rubber cock until I can't cum anymore and then I keep doing it for days. I get so sore I have to take a break week just to recover my prolapsed ass. And then I draw the manga. Asa and Denji are my favorite, did I mention that?

Asa's interactions with him were too scattered and shallow. I'll say of the four main people she met in pt2, Yuko, Yoshida, Yoru, Denji had the least interactions with her. Fr Asa was not written as other Denji's love interests at all. That role in p2 belonged to Yoru desu.

If Denji didn't love Makima the ending of Part 1 wouldn't have worked and she wouldn't have died, read the manga

Remind you Asa actually got FOUR main relationships in pt2.
Yuko
Yoru
Yoshida
Denji
Among them Yoru is the main one, followed by Yuko, meanwhile Denji's part in Asa's story was shallower than Yoshida's, considering the amount of times they interacted on screen fyi. And you still insist that Asa's main role is just a love interest for Denji?

No, his love is used to kill and eat Makima and he considers that as Makima becoming one with him. Clearly a twisted depiction of love, and then it's hammered in that Makima never noticed him once, pushing further Denji's love as something unhealthy and not love, more obsession.

Yes, Asa was a dumb cuck and her hero failed to save her or the world so he could have sex with the mass murdering devil who stole her body.

It's just a fact that Denji is never shown to resent the time he spent with Reze, the opposite happens since we are shown that he treasures those memories, unlike what happens with Makima.

Just like it's a fact that Denji's entire spiral into self-destructive hedonism is a coping mechanism because he couldn't get over Power's death, which is why that is introduced in the story not during the Church Arc, not at the beginning of Part 2, but literally one chapter after Power dies when he talks to Kishibe.

That's a stupid argument because immediately after becoming CSM he thinks "wow this is grea! My life sucked before!" Denji still has lingering affection for Makima, even after all she did, because she raised him out of his shithole. The way Part 2 goes "damn you're miserable because the government is forcibly cucking you out of your dreams, huh, guess you're better off without your chainsaw heart after all" is pure dishonesty.

Becoming Chainsaw Man for Denji is comparable to becoming a drug addict. Sure it had the instant gratification at first and for a short while everything seemed great but on the long run it just made Denji self destruct and more miserable than he ever was before. It wasn't just the government after him, but also the entirely of hell always lurking to make his life miserable.
Pochita in his ultimate selfless act simply cut Denji's supply for his own sake

>>287865804

Uh, no, what was making Denji miserable was Makima conspiring to make him miserable. She allowed the Yakuza shooters to take out Section 4. She cockblocked him with Reze. She forced him to kill Aki. She killed Power. Everything that actually bothered Denji on a personal level was Makima. This was explicitly the narrative of Part 1. Again, Part 2 twisting this into "see you actually hated being chainsaw man the whole time!!" is dishonest and insulting to the reader's intelligence. Part 2 is an insult.

Well, in 232 Denji spends years hunting devils and eating spoiled bread in the shack, and his dying thoughts were that nothing good ever happened in his life.

Meanwhile when talking to Power in chapter 91 he tells her that he's fine with dying because he already had achieved the dreams he had while in the shack.

Why do people argue over things that were already answered by the narrative?

>Denji picked being Chainsaw Man over saving Nayuta
He became chainsaw man to save them both from a 3v1 gank of hostile hybrids who were trying to kill them. Nayuta died because the villagers hit Denji with an adamantium net that he inexplicably couldn't just cut his way out of. Nothing happens in part 2 unless it's some contrived nonsense that doesn't make sense.
>In the new timeline, Denji has a much healthier mindset (the exact same as the old one) and without the chainsaw heart in his chest making him a target (thus ensuring he's going to be killed in a month like every other normalfag devil hunter with a contract)
This shit is gay and lame no matter how hard you try to spin it. Again, every single major plot point in part 2 is an insult.

Also I don't like it when a series is so whacky that it can just throw whatever at the wall and work, and this happened like every arc.
Now I have to believe that somehow everything got infested with super strong insects in 5 seconds with no chance for Chainsaw who apparently can vomit the eaten devils to rectify, Chainsaw man, the same who never dies no matter what you throw at him lost against some insects with War+Gun+Tank+Nuke at his side and the final word would be decided by Pochita at the end by erasing himself and turning back time for some reason.
What a coward ending, specially with how he made it be a forced choice by Pochita because they lost.
F*ck that insect bullshit and let Denji follow through his choices, be it unhealthy or not and let him bang Asa to see after that too.

>>287866184
The ending was fine, Part 2 was wonky though
>>
>>287866258
>And why were these hostile hybrids trying to kill them
Because the government WASN'T letting him be chainsaw man and they wanted to provoke him into transforming. Nothing happens in the second half of this manga unless it's contrived bullshit that happens exclusively for shock factor.
>He did cut his way out (too late to make a difference) but he was trying to avoid killing Innocents (somehow this means he can't just push them out of the way or wound them)
Your excuses for this shit are as weak as Part 2's narrative itself.

>>287866331

Note that everything making Denji's life miserable is centered around the fact he's Chainsaw Man

>Depressed and mindbroken teen says he's fine dying after getting his family killed in front of him
Denji said he was fine with dying because he got to achieve his dreams beforehand, meaning he had lived a fulfilling life, the opposite of what he says in 232 after getting killed by Zombie, where he spells out that literally nothing good ever happened to him.
>>
>>287866357
>Note that everything making Denji's life miserable is centered around the fact he's Chainsaw Man
Everything miserable in Denji's life, after Makima dies, is narratively fake shit that happens for no reason

>A bunch of fanatical cultists force him to ignore those orders by killing his family, again -> Denji is miserable

The ending is not fine because it's messaging only happens as a result of things in the story happening for no justifiable reason. It's gaslighting in its purest form.
>>
>>287866437
I don't really understand your point
He fulfilled a few of his dreams, but got irreversibly mindbroken by Makima and started the unhealthy cope that he could fill the hole left in him with hedonistic dreams and that people only care about Chainsaw Man and not Denji, which is why he regressed in Part 2
>>287866461
>Government cockblocks him from being CSM for effectively no good reason
The reason was that the Death Devil made a cult around Chainsaw Man
>A bunch of fanatical cultists force him to ignore those orders by killing his family, again
Exactly, Denji would never have peace being Chainsaw Man.
>>
>>287866527
>The reason was that the Death Devil made a cult around Chainsaw Man
Yeah, so? The feds also need CSM for the same reason the cultists do: halting Armageddon. Nothing happens except for contrived shock factor and artificial misery porn. The ending sucks because you cannot build an argument on lies and then say the conclusion is sound. Nobody buys it.

You don't understand my point because your entire reading of the manga is nonsense.

If you think Denji regressed in Part 2, after "maturing" at the end of Part 1, then you didn't understand the story.
If you read chapters 91 and 92 you can see Denji's mind snapping in real time, there was no going back for him after that, and the entire rest of the story is proof of it.

If you give up on the idea that Denji "regressed" during Part 2, which implies he was in a healthy place at the beginning, then yes.
In fact, Denji's very introduction in Part 2 is basically a microcosm of what his entire character arc was going to be about.

This doesn't even make sense.
1.It had to be obvious to Pochita during part 1 already.
2.Didn't do it until it became a forced choice because they lost against some insects o something.
3.He didn't even know what would happen if he erased himself and what happens doesn't makes any sense anyways, there's no reason to think that Pochita killing himself would turn into something different that Denji just being digested and turn in insect feces.
If being chainsaw man was so much of a problem to Denji as it obviously was Pochita should have killed himself long ago. The whole thing is extremely contrived.
>>
>>287867021
I liked both at first too, Y became insufferable and Asa just disappeared or came by to give a reaction and then disappear. I think their relationship is concluded, as Yoru would look out for Asa, but she won't care about hurting her if she's following self interest. And Asa can't fight back because she put all her hope in Denji and he let her down, no, better way to describe it is, he backstabbed Asa. I see it as Yoru seeing both Asa and Denji as her closest relationships, but she still does not value them over her wishes, same as Denji in a way, he larps as a hero but won't think twice if it means getting his dick wet. In spirit, Asa is naive enough to think eating food that can be toxic means she's a toxic woman, she flip flops immediately by calling herself and Denji heroes, and then gets btfo when Denji tells Yoru to turn him into a weapon because he's miserable. It's a unstable relationship because Yoru doesn't care about Asa's wellbeing, she cares about herself. Asa may as well be considered dead.

>>287867367
But she's not a person she's a Devil, that's the point why Denji can identify with her and Asa. She has no reason to be nice to Asa.
>>
>>287867421
Nayuta is a debil but she nice to Denji
>>
>>287867788
Because Denji is half a Devil himself, Asa is not. Asa and Denji are not comparable for their compatibility with Devils. Yoru started liking Asa as someone she owns, literally as her property, not a friend or family, just her possession. Why would there ever be a reason for Yoru to be kind towards Asa?
>>
>>287867871
Its because Nayuta was brought up to be nice nothing to do with devils or anything she's just a super nice perfect girl
>>
>>287867957
Are you completely forgetting her conversation with Denji, asking him to join the Devils and ditch humans? Her upbringing is definitely a factor Asa and Yoru's abusive and horrible relationship lacked.
