I don't know why I didn't think if thud before but it just hit me. Denji isn't ever going to age is he? He's just going to stay the same no matter how much time passes. Won't he eventually get tired? Will Nayuta age? Will Asa age?

u/MrCleanandShady 5d ago
if Nayuta doesn’t die and get reincarnated, she’ll also basically be immortal
jury is out on Asa because we don’t know exactly what she is now

Spare a thought for all those Public Safety hunters that got totally shredded throughout Part 2 because Quanxi presumably said "Nah, don't feel like it" to going to work on those days. 💀

Wasn't she from China? I assume she only now works for Japan?

u/Hezolinn 7d ago
I assume she's been working for Japan ever since Makima got ate. It was her old job with Kishibe, after all.
Though if her introductory arc is anything to go by, she spends 90% of the time blowing said job off. 👑

u/kaiwowo 7d ago edited 7d ago
Go check the last page of ch.142, there a picture showing big words “food court” , there a man sitting in the middle of the picture holding a pint of beer. There’s a suit placed behind his chair. Doesn’t he look like our mad old man kishibe? I didn’t make up the theory, I saw it on reddit, when ch.142 just released. I was wonder what’s the point of showing that food court ,now seems a bit make sense. chainsaw man fans are really something.
So the devil Hunter have been watching the weapons for so long , like what flamethrower mention in the family burger shop . When quanxi suddenly kill all weapons, it’s like she may work with kishibe again
10
u/TheOnlyFallenCookie 7d ago
I really hope he is. Though from the small panel that person was in I would peg them younger than Kishibe.
But I do am hopefully for his return.
HE could very well be the new leader of public Saftey, considering that he even managed to basically start a civil qar/uprising against Makima without her knowing about it.
It would also make sense why he put fumiko on Denji, since Kishibe knows how horny Denji is (but he doesn't know Denji is horny for love and not pussy atm 😔)

If you've seen avatar the last Airbender, you've essentially watched the first 2-3 episodes of book 1 compared to where we're at in the manga.
The manga comparatively is plotwise halfway through book 2 and this specific manga chapter is probably halfway through an episode

I don't think Dennis is good enough as logical reasoning to make the connection that Quanxi being alive means Reze is alive. It autocorrected to Dennis, but I'm gonna leave it because it's funnier.

u/IInfernox 8d ago
Maybe not, but I feel like eventually he'll realize reze must be alive, either due to how he always survived as csm, or from smthn quanxi tells him. I feel like he might already have an inkling of this from his time as csm

u/Physical-Beyond-2904 8d ago
Also I just noticed quite a fun detail.
During Quanxi's first appearance back in part 1, she wielded 3 Chinese Dao swords as a subtle reminder that she was very much a Chinese character, however now she's working for Public Safety in Japan full-time (presumably), she's switched to katanas which are of course Japanese, showing her new allegiance, without outright stating it.
Subtle yet clever stuff Fujimoto, nice.
5
u/Sir_FastSloth 8d ago
Well I actually don't think the same at the beginning, and it seem those are a older version of Dao (popular around and before Han dynasty, yes they still using it during 3 Kingdowns period), which is single edged and straight.
But after watching it again, it could very well be ninja sword
23
u/On_themoonkid 8d ago
Denji's future continues to be delayed but I really don't mind when the alternative was him having to deal with an entire building being killed due to him.
I'm also getting more and more convinced that Denji is going to bow out of the story for a bit by being stuck in hell, either near or at the end of Part 2. I'm a little scared it's going to be a cliffhanger but in Fujimoto I trust.
43
u/Select_Team 8d ago
Well that was satisfying. Those 3 hybrids were immediately the most hateable characters in the entire series.

u/Select_Team 8d ago
Being so weakminded and easily influenced into casual mass torture is a pretty hateable trait if you ask me. In a way it's even worse it's like he knows better but is too ignorant and sheepish to say no, while the other two are just utterly inhuman sociopaths with a hubris.

They were dicks but not as hateable as these 2 with their arrogant air and hubris complex and the wimp too weakwilled to not be brainwashed into following their plan of casual mass torture of women and children. It’s not even close imho

Why makima a different person and all the hybrids are the same as when they died?

u/Arkayjiya 8d ago
Makima is a devil, Hybrids aren't devils. They're humans with a devil's heart. Also they never died in the first place.
5
u/Alamerona 8d ago
The Hybrids weren't eaten by Denji / Pochita at the end of Part 1, simply cut up and defeated - Makima was eaten, leading to her landing in Hell and being reincarnated as Nayuta.
5
u/legendsofold 8d ago
i think you could kill a hybrid by using vampire rules, destroy the heart/core. But pochita didn't do that to them. Also possible the 'core' isn't alays the heart, it could be some other body part.
7
u/Alamerona 8d ago
Pochita is stored in the balls?
2
u/legendsofold 8d ago
XD.
saying that they may replace other body parts and the parts they re actually that is where the 'trigger' is. So quanxi got her eye replaced, katana and longsword their left and right hands respectively, Reze's is actually in her throat.
Why i've pointed out that Asa is most likely a hybrid. Yoru simply used a contract t ohave special exceptions made vs other devil hybrids and is hiding shit from asa to keep some amount of control. She clearl ylied about her beinjg able to just erase asa, as she had various motivations to erase asa throughout the fallen devil incident. so she could easily have lied about their true nature cause she knows she'll lose the rest of her leverage with their contract if she does.
the tirgger uis likely in the face, that is why when yoru takes control a scar manifests.
16
u/neon93 8d ago
Devils reincarnate when they die. Angel explains it in part 1. Makima died and went to hell, died there and came back as Nayuta on Earth

u/WoDRonaldo 8d ago
That, or Nayuta was born in hell. And somehow found her way to earth ending up in China. Could have gotten help from her third sister Death for example.

u/neon93 8d ago
Yeah that's possible. My headcanon is some pretty strong devils who had a beef with Control (like Darkness) just killed her not long after coming back to hell. Without all of her contracts like with the PM she just died super fast.
1
u/WoDRonaldo 8d ago
Well, we havnt seen her take damage yet. Its possible even if slim that the contracts are still active. Only thing i have to support that would be why would Power make a contract with Denji 1 min before dying if it would break on death.

u/Leaky_Orifices 8d ago
Something people seem to be not mentioning is that the killings were done by gunmen.
Not sure how significant that detail is but, given that a shooting happened, and the gun devil/fiend was such a big thing in part 1, maybe there’s more to it in part 2.

u/Revolutionary-Rope-4 8d ago
Oh I was wrong, it wasn't Reze who intervenes but Quanxi. You think she'll return back to China but I guess she's staying with Kishibe or something cause of the PS uniform.
Only 2 more Hybrids left, Reze probably the next Hybrid to come on then. We'll probably get Barem and Denji POV and being confused why there's no massacre next chapter then. Or an Asa Chapter instead.

u/HamatoraBae 8d ago
Maybe Pt. 2 ain't for me. This was a good chapter but it's another one where something crazy gets subverted in an even crazier way that we get no explanation for involving characters we don't give a shit about.
Quanxi is back? That's cool! Always love more part 1 characters.
The way this unfolded was just extremely unsatisfying to me because I thought this would be a moment where Denji made a real choice about who and what he wanted to be. Instead, he's not even here. I don't even like Asa that much but we haven't really gotten much outta her in awhile.
I guess I'm not a big fan of the way this section of the story feels so radically different from the first. It feels disjointed from itself, somehow. Idk, though. Maybe I should re-read the part and try to get some clarity.

u/against_all_odd 8d ago
Barem(flamethrower) is still out there, I'm sure Denji is gonna be forced into a dilemma soon
8
u/legendsofold 8d ago
You act like this isn't an escalation though. True they stopped them from killing the innoccent, and possibly this is good for longsword here cause he was extremely hesitant about it so this gives him a chance to find a beter purpose.
But its clear they are about to go after the chainsaw man church now and that is a major escalation. even though denji isn't part of it, the other main charcter of part 2 will be.

u/Malchior_Dagon 8d ago
Personally? I like it. It shows that Public Safety(?) isn't completely pathetic and CAN, to some extent, take care of things and give Denji an actual viable route to not being CSM

Really satisfying to see someone really question the writer’s decision. Every single thing you said here makes sense and I feel just like you.

Why does Fujimoto always "blueball" every event in CSM. There's no pay off and it doesn't make it unpredictable it just means that the series just lies to the reader. omfg subversion of expectations wow. I expected like a 10 chapter massacre where denji would do something but nah of course not. Nothing fucking happens because there's no fucking narrative just random fucking shit that goes nowhere
1
u/zaxls 6d ago
Do you only read for pay offs ? Thats not what got me into chainsaw man at least. The story handles itself very differently from other manga, it reminds me of monogatari, another highly rated story. If you dont like it then just drop it, no point, you are not gonna get what you want, ever. Stories like this exist, its simillar to slice of life stories, just cause you dont like its not valid criticism, a lot of other people love it for what it is including me.
5
u/legendsofold 8d ago
Well its a subversion but not a blueball. This is a major escalation. They simply countered the massacre before it could happen but it doesn't change that the Church is now gonna be targeted and there is gonna be a conflict there. And that pulls Asa back into conflict after focusing on denji and his struggles.
The chuch would have been targeted either way.

Fujimoto comment that young people nowadays don't aim to reach extreme heigths but rather live a comfortable life and he conceived Denji with that in mind.
That's why many people find him so relatable.
That's why rn he acts as an horny teenager who also learn responsabilities.

u/elalexsantos 8d ago
I’m pretty sure the whole of chapter 2 wasn’t focused entirely on Denji right? Are we reading the same manga? They spent a good bit of part 2 developing other characters like Asa and Yoru. It’s not like the entirety of part 2 was Denji going grocery shopping for CSM buns over and over again lmfao. If you don’t have the attention span or patience to look at the bigger picture of the plot I feel genuinely sad for you and also I’d suggest you read dragonball or some shit if you want mainly action lol.

why do you feel personally attacked lmfao I know part 2 doesn't just revolve around denji and there are many plotlines, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

out of all the hybrids i feel like they re least likely to use katanaman on either side. Katanaman directly attacked and is the reason so many peeps were murdered, greatly weakening them. He's likely to be jailed and or deliberately killed off....
course its opssible that he was manipualted by fami despite his anti chainsawman views.
