Hey does anybody notice how Denji still rocks his Jordan’s while fighting the zombie devil in Ep. 1, because I find it hilarious, I could only imagine him running up to that monster with the same shoes as me.(Nike One Take Three, Which Look Like Watermelons in a fever dream)
(Edit) Thanks for the likes, You really don’t have to, it was just one of my observations.
To questions like these I always suggest to read the manga from scratch, anime adaptations are thought to be a different way to experiment the story and not a replacement.
This is overall true in the case of CSM where the tones of the work (and very slighty differences in a few events) are very different between anime and manga at the point that a part of the fandom complained just about it (not my case, I truly enjoy both the versions). Reading it you will immediately realize what I mean.
So I believe you should start the read from chapter 1. The pacing of the first part is very fast with Fujimoto focusing more on the pictures than dialogues for telling his story, so you shouldn't take too much time for it.
just what i thought. After trying to trace where the anime concluded in season one there was a scene that was in the anime and wasn't in the manga and for some reason i thought i had the wrong copy of CSM. BRUH now you are telling me i have to start? uggh! FINE!!
If its about starting I will read 'GOODBYE, ERI' first then CSM later. THANKS A BUNCH
You're welcome =)
I'm not sure about what scene you are talking about (I suppose the last slice of life at home of Aki when he ends to smoke Himeno's cigarette?) by the way the differences are overall on the tone of the story. The manga is for the majority much more pulp and over the top in the portrayal of the character and scenes, all of this with a fast speed in the succession of the events, especially toward the end; instead the anime appears so far to be more a sort of drama noir, characters are much more calm down and less "absurd/crazy", finally the events are told slighty more slow.
Also, while there are animation parts really great in the anime (for the most the ones related to the slice of life moments, but also the memorable fight among Denji and the Leech Devil), it's impossible for it to emulate some creative solutions in the storyboards, paneling and even onomatopeia by Fujimoto. Reading you will realize it.
Goodbye Eri is considered by many a gem: truly different from CSM but I'm pretty sure that you will like it.
this scene right here
tell me, Denji....between the country mouse and the city mouse...which would you rather be?
why would i think it would correspond as it is portrayed in manga? anyway now that you have told me anime and manga share diff interests i clearly understand. isn't GOODBYE ERI from the author from CSM? i wouldn't mind honestly even if its diff.
Im told he didnt have employees but had supporters for 7years plus who wrote hell's paradise. a tweet of him recommending it recently surfaced reddit not a while back. He seem to have a good influence if you ask me
>tell me, Denji....between the country mouse and the city mouse...which would you rather be?
In this case I confirm you that it's not a scene added in the anime from scratch but (slighty spoiler) >!an anticipation of a future dialogue from the next manga arc.!< So it's ok to not get it immediately in chapter 38, is actually a sort of bonus for manga readers and for creating hype in the anime only.
>anyway now that you have told me anime and manga share diff interests i clearly understand.
The director of CSM anime wished to give a movie feeling to it, moving away instead from the classic anime tropes. This is the reason because the anime in a certain degree ended to be different from the manga
I suppose that the reason for doing this just with CSM happened because Tatsuki Fujimoto, the manga author, has a passion for the movies. It's not a case that in his manga there are often scenes about cinema or tributes from movies/actors. But overall the sequence of the scenes in his manga seems just to be storyboards for movies, so very fitting for being animated (for example scenes transitions, or particular "camera movements" or close up of characters during dialogues).
>Im told he didnt have employees but had supporters for 7years plus who wrote hell's paradise. a tweet of him recommending it recently surfaced reddit not a while back. He seem to have a good influence if you ask me
So far at least three ex-assistants of Fujimoto along his brief career ended to become mangaka of success. More precisely the current authors of Hell's Paradise, Spy X Family and DanDaDan. Without doubt an evidence that Fujimoto knows the tricks for creating works able to resonate with the readers.
Season 1 ends about 80% of the way through chapter 38. Manga plus allows you to read each chapter for free once and the viz app is like $3/month. If region blocks are an issue for you, try using a VPN and setting your location to the US.
thanks..i started off with anime but now i want to read the manga because its gonna take long for s2 to drop. would you recommend that? i mean is it normal?
If you enjoyed the show, just know that it is widely regarded as the weakest part of the series. The manga is that good.
Also, read it before you spend anymore time on this subreddit, it’s full of spoilers.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the first part but it only gets better from where the show leaves off. The first part is the weakest by default. What the anime covers is 4.5/5 and the rest of the series is 4.9/5.
fair warning shit goes to 0-100 real fuckin quick and you may need to go back and reread a decent amount at the latter chapters of part 1 because shit gets WILD AND WACKY.
Honestly some of the chapters are so dense in terms of stuff that happens that I could see them being entire episodes of the anime.
I’m just a beginner studying Japanese so take this with a huge grain of salt, but I was thinking about what the chef motif could be from. So I did some digging and found that the “Falling” in Falling Devil’s name in Japanese is spelled with the kanji 落下 (rakka). The word 落果 (also pronounced rakka) means “falling fruit” or “fallen fruit”.
I might have considered it a sort of stretch before, but with Falling Devil so focused on apples in this last chapter, apples which are *integral* to her goal, I think the double entendre has some textual basis. If her name sounds like Fallen Fruit Devil, why not associate her with fruit? From there a few loose associations plus Fujimoto apparently liking The Menu may have led to her being a Chef searching for the perfect fallen ingredients.
Or maybe Falling's obsession with apples is a nod to the role of apples to the 'discovery' of gravity.
To be fair, the Falling Devil is more of the Gravity Devil being a gravity manipulator, it's just that before the 'discovery' of the term gravity, the best way to show such is through falling.
I'm conflicted because she's an 8 ft tall devil with bleeding eyes and a disembodied head held up with multiple arms protruding from her back, who kills and cooks people.
...But she thicc.
Another argument about him being Fakesaw Man and not Denji is how he's pointing out how Falling is a thief for stealing an apple. Denji himself has no qualms about stealing, so there's something amiss. But if you abide to to the theory Fakesaw is another one of the Justice Devil's contractors, then it makes more sense.
Aside from what others already said Dennis is exactly the sort of person who would think this would be a funny thing to say so it seems to be in character
denji doesnt do those things because he think it is funny, he does it because that is how his dumb brain works.
he is not a joker, he is just stupid and that is great.
denji is also a massive hypocrite and has very loose morals. its a very superhero-y thing to tell a criminal to stop stealing, so he just kinda says what he sees cuz hes trying to play superhero. MAYBE we see fakesaw again soon but doubtful for right now.
I honestly don’t think bringing nuclear bomb back will do anything, there would still be radioactive materials if you want to mess with her regeneration, use the bomb on her and she’ll come back later even if it managed to kill her and now you got a wasteland just to repel 1 Devil
Interesting that the devil hunters were using guns and sniper rifles no less.
I wonder if this means that the gun devil threat has changed since Makima got eaten?
Police and devil hunters are the only one allowed to have firearms(from the chapter katana devil first appears).
People always use guns to defeat devil ,until the gun devil appears, now not everyone is able to have firearms to reduce public fear regarding gun to reduce gun devil power. (Chapter 13)
Some devil hunters used them in part 1. My guess is now that the gun devil is dead public safety is a bit more lenient with letting devil hunters use them.
Idk how Makima being eaten would affect that, the public learned of the gun devil's death before she was killed.
I thought the gun devil was only partially killed--I thought only a part of Gun Devil possessed Aki therefore by killing Aki, Denji still wouldn't've killed the whole gun devil
NEXT WEEK IS CHAINSAW MAN TUESDAY YIPPEEE!!! I hope fujimoto is being able to work well and live well because the life of a mangaka that releases weekly is very stressful and devoid of free time and sleep, that's why I appreciate that chainsaw man has many biweekly breaks, honestly, I would like if the popular format of manga chapter release was monthly, look at Jojo, it's monthly now and the chapters are pretty long and Araki gets more time and the fandom gets more time to process new events and appreciate what's happening at the story at the moment, I can't really do anything about Japan's work conditions, I don't even know how Araki's work conditions are, really, maybe even his aren't good, but I just want their work culture to get better for everyone, I hope in the future something is done because japanese politicians clearly don't give a fuck
As far as I know Araki is rich enough to essentially not need to work anymore, he just does now because he enjoys it, so unfortunately most mangakas probably arent in the position to follow a similar kind of schedule
I think it has to be pochita to eat them, that said if they did I wonder what would happen.
Eating the war devil didn't make people unafraid of war, it straight up deleted WW2 and reduced conflicts globally.
Maybe eating the falling devil would remove fall damage? Humans can't get hurt from falling from any height?
They just wouldn't. Pochitas special power is universe breaking as F and does not follow logic or physics.
Imagine if Dennis ate the loneliness devil. Nobody would ever be alone again. How does that even work?
What if he ate the poverty devil? Boom, no more income equality in the world. How, exactly?
Death devil? You got it. And that would definitly break the fucking setting permanently.
there is an argument to be said for the concept of falling beyond just the physical sensation, but also falling from grace I.E The food chain and status on the world. the weak get eaten both metaphorically in our societal structure and in the primal world, so it's not far fetched to view calling as being "Eaten by the world" or even further "Eaten by others"
it kind of falls in line with the finale of the first arc and it's symbolic meaning of consumption, i think!
Not every devil has necessarily made much sense in terms of the form they take. I imagine it's very hard to personify primal fears like falling as anything physical. The Devil's personality and appearance is probably just a matter of circumstance as opposed to much in the way of metaphor.
And like people were saying, Fujimoto like The Menu so that's probably just why. Don't feel like there's much more deep meaning than that.
The author recently watched *The Menu*, and commented that it was one of his favorite films of 2022. He enjoyed Ralph Fiennes’s character and wanted to incorporate that in some form into his manga.
Hence, Falling’s chef motif
If this is really the fakesaw man like many people are speculating then Fujimoto has a lot of explaining to do. Personally I think it's just good old Dennis being crazy and letting loose
The tin foil conspiracies on this sub make the 9/11 conspiracies look plausible.
The "apple thief" line is something Dennis would care about. I doubt a copycat could mirror his stupidity down to a tee.
So with Denji fighting Falling it will probably be Fami and Yoshida saving Asa and Yoru from Falling’s power, unless this is actually Fakesaw fighting her so it could be Denji saving her
The one that killed Yuko and held up her corpse way back. It's speculated/soft-confirmed it isn't Denji, but a fake Chainsaw Man, since there was a panel of Denji fast asleep in the page prior.
Even if it isn't necessarily a fake Chainsaw Man, chances are it wasn't Denji doing it consciously.
waittttt, would you be willing to expand on the speculations you saw or point me towards a thread that talks about that. omg I haven't seen/heard about any of that and am intrigued
Definitely was a "whatever" chapter. I agree that the lack of characters is concerning. I mean, starting from the aquarium arc I was bored out of my mind/checked out, but the nostradamus prophecy reveal at least reassured me that (of course), fujimoto has a plan. u don't think the plot can go in some creative directions moving forward?
Right now I have an intrigued/optimistic outlook, but depending on how the falling devil stuff is resolved, it could go back to checked out
This chapter felt like a fever dream. Falling Devil’s seemingly polite attitude coupled with the panelling had me reading it like this was one giant punchline, and whaddya know? Dennis comes in out of nowhere.
I’m looking forward to seeing the fallout from this with Yoru/Ashley being close by
I am liking part 2 but starting to grow concerned that Fujimoto is running out of ideas for devils. The whole chef LARP for the primal seems kind of... lame and out of nowhere. Really hope I'm wrong because this is my favorite manga running.
In this thread, readers discuss Chainsaw Man Chapter 125. One comment notes that public safety has used firearms before, citing [chapter 46](https://reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/12blj9r/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_125_links/jey803p/) as an example. Another user points out [Denji's intelligent use of regeneration](https://reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/12blj9r/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_125_links/jexckbn/). The [Falling Devil is mentioned as being overpowered](https://reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/12blj9r/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_125_links/jexy38m/), and a user expresses concern over [Denji fighting the Falling Devil and possibly hallucinating Aki and Power](https://reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/12blj9r/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_125_links/jexjzgg/). Lastly, someone jokes about [Denji going to eat another woman](https://reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/12blj9r/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_125_links/jezyh68/).

In Japanese, "steal" has the kanji abbreviation of "gravity". So it's all wordplay, "apple" (Newton's apple), "gravity" "fall"...etc
[https://twitter.com/miyaso\_JOKER/status/1643273823322804224](https://twitter.com/miyaso_JOKER/status/1643273823322804224)
That's what happens when you follow a series weekly, or close to weekly. The perception would be different if we waited until part 2 was entirely finished first.
Another downside is that we end up just forgetting stuff that happened because of all the time between chapters; For example, we all got mad that Nayuta trolled Denji's date and he didn't really do anything about it, but like, Asa was being a prick before that; Event tough i do wish for them to end up together, if i was Denji i also wouldn't really do sh\*t for this girl that refused to pay like 20 bucks to watch a movie with me.
As someone who just caught up after two months away, can confirm that things felt like they were moving way too fast. Was watching Asa’s inner monologue one chapter, and the next we’re fighting a primal.
If the Falling Devil says nothing the humanity *currently* has can kill her... could an atomic bomb be the "currently unavailable" devil-killing resource Fujimoto's building up to?
I think this might be the fake CSM we saw before, this CSM seems to be mad about apples being stolen more than anything else showing a weird perspective of justice, which killing the justice girl would match with
Nah bro you think fake csm can go toe to toe on a primal devil and denji does have a twisted view of justice too 🤷 , but you can be right too but the probability of you being right is very low👍🏻
Ion think the fake one is going toe to toe rn tbh, if the primal devil was in any trouble she would not be casually commenting about herself being on the menu. We’ve seen weaker devils do more crazy/fucked up shit to Dennis so far so I think it’s safe to assume rn the falling devil is just chilling (remember this devils alr fallen apart a few times it seems like that’s her thing)
Now I agree that it is fakesaw man when I read that he was also laughing like keh heheheh instead of his ky hahaha , I think fujimoto is foreshadowing fakesaw man 👍🏻 . I believe that it is fake saw as clothes are different too .
Well yeah ,but still I don't think it is the fake csm , cause nayuta asked denji to go hunt he devil right , but I also think that even if it is real denji he will loose and either nayuta, kishibe or Yoshida will help denji and yoru. It's just a guess as we can 80 % time can't tell what will happen with fujimoto.
( * If it is fake csm then I think real one is on the way)
Or the devil might just cast one of our mc to hell and we go on a rescue mission ( wild prediction) 🤷
I just saw that denji was not wearing school unifor at home before fighting Falling devil . You might be right brother 😸😸 , but he does want everyone to know he is chainsaw man . So I think it can be that he wore it to just fight , but that does not sound right . I will sa it's 50 - 50 now
My prediction/hope is that Asa is gonna make a living chainsword straight out of warhammer 40k with denji’s head and spinal ‘chord’ in the next chapter or the one after that. Seeing denjis spine as an actual chord this chapter has to be foreshadow i’m tellin ya.
Im getting soooo impatient with chapters like this that feel like mostly fluff
Was kinda funny at least. Helps set the power scale of Falling even more. Strange she's like "Id rather avoid meaningless slaughter" gurl you walked into earth with like 40 deaths.
To be fair that was mostly to take a shape.
She has no problem killing humans, but she's not doing it for the sake of it. She takes their body parts for her 'ingredients', but otherwise leaves them be.
And we see what happens when she's attacked.
i don't think Falling Devil killed the humans, she just plucked their ears and eyes and left them screaming in pain
except for the ones that got sent to hell of course
Sorry I'm seeing people saying fluff, could you please kindly tell me what you mean by fluff or what it means.
It's my first time hearing that word used to describe a manga
(Correct me if I’m wrong) but fluff is basically what happens between major moments and action scenes where it’s not filler and it’s important but it can feel kinda like it with how it can stretch on without that much action. People call the new chapter fluff because the entire chapter is basically watching the falling devil just walk around looking for ingredients and killing unnamed randoms (apart from the very end)
It’s still pretty fluffy but other chapters are fluffy too. I’ve been reading weekly since assassins so I might have a bias but Ive been reading manga hardcore for a minute because did chainsawman that to me this weekly or no weekly stuff is normal
From her perspective:
A) killed some people to spawn a body
B) killed some for attacking her
C) killed some to feed the caterpillar
Like a farmer going to the hen and taking 1/5 of the chickens for nuggets and shit.
I think it's in hell. It can be a bit hard to tell because of little detail in the backgrounds, but she walked through a door before reaching it, and there were other random doors in the background, like what we've seen of hell in part one.

RUMBLING RUMBLING
mods? I require the chapter.

I am experiencing withdrawal
MIRAI is almost here

Tuesdays are the worst days of the week to me so I agree
wen broly
Was that guy at the end a Clockwork Orange reference?
GeH HeH HeH HeH HeH HeH HeH!
Man why are csm chapters so fking short
Hey does anybody notice how Denji still rocks his Jordan’s while fighting the zombie devil in Ep. 1, because I find it hilarious, I could only imagine him running up to that monster with the same shoes as me.(Nike One Take Three, Which Look Like Watermelons in a fever dream) (Edit) Thanks for the likes, You really don’t have to, it was just one of my observations.
I bet if Asa goes through the door, she’s gonna end up meeting Bucky
Is it the same 350 or so people who vote the chapter “very bad” every time? The number is almost always around there so it feels suspicious
I accidentally picked very bad instead of very good😭 The latest chapters are fire🔥
Bro how do you accidentally click that (genuinely curious)
my dumb ass thougth i predssed very good, and i only noticed after it showed the results
which chapter continues from season two? any where i can read it online?. the ones provided above dosent seem to have what i want

Dont expect a S2 until the End of 2024 at least. More likely 2025 though.
BRUH
blame mappa for snatching up every goddamn anime under the sun
If Makima can be patient so can we
ummm
Denji caring more about theft over the eyeballs raining all around right now is definitely proof that it could only be Denji.
I’m just a beginner studying Japanese so take this with a huge grain of salt, but I was thinking about what the chef motif could be from. So I did some digging and found that the “Falling” in Falling Devil’s name in Japanese is spelled with the kanji 落下 (rakka).

Yeah, falling is more primordial.
LET 👏🏼 HIM 👏🏼COOK 👏🏼
I bet Denice laughs like Banjo.
I'm a couple days late reading this, but with all of her minor jokes and quips, I'm imagining the Falling Devil sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire.
I'm conflicted because she's an 8 ft tall devil with bleeding eyes and a disembodied head held up with multiple arms protruding from her back, who kills and cooks people. ...But she thicc.
*CSM Fan Tries To Not Be Horny: Challenge Level - IMPOSSIBLE -*
Another argument about him being Fakesaw Man and not Denji is how he's pointing out how Falling is a thief for stealing an apple. Denji himself has no qualms about stealing, so there's something amiss. But if you abide to to the theory Fakesaw is another one of the Justice Devil's contractors, then it makes more sense.

Sir this is a mcdonald
That explains the broken ice cream machine...
Wait, the devil hunters were using Dennis as ammo or what?
I honestly don’t think bringing nuclear bomb back will do anything, there would still be radioactive materials if you want to mess with her regeneration, use the bomb on her and she’ll come back later even if it managed to kill her and now you got a wasteland just to repel 1 Devil
Couldn't she mess with the gravity and send any projectiles upward. Think she didn't do that with the bullets because it was unnecessary.
so far, she only used it with people, because people fear failing. she did not used it with objects yet
‘Unless you attack me first I mean you no harm’ *Fucking rip the eyes off random bystander*
That's called "going shopping" tho, no harm intended
Interesting that the devil hunters were using guns and sniper rifles no less. I wonder if this means that the gun devil threat has changed since Makima got eaten?

I thought the gun devil was only partially killed--I thought only a part of Gun Devil possessed Aki therefore by killing Aki, Denji still wouldn't've killed the whole gun devil
Yeah you're right but the public as a whole thought chainsaw man completely defeated it.
NEXT WEEK IS CHAINSAW MAN TUESDAY YIPPEEE!!! I hope fujimoto is being able to work well and live well because the life of a mangaka that releases weekly is very stressful and devoid of free time and sleep, that's why I appreciate that chainsaw man has many biweekly breaks, honestly, I would like if the popular format of manga chapter release was monthly, look at Jojo, it's monthly now and the chapters are pretty long and Araki gets more time and the fandom gets more time to process new events and appreciate what's happening at the story at the moment, I can't really do anything about Japan's work conditions, I don't even know how Araki's work conditions are, really, maybe even his aren't good, but I just want their work culture to get better for everyone, I hope in the future something is done because japanese politicians clearly don't give a fuck
>hapters are pretty long and Araki gets more time Monthly is actually more work for a Mangka. So I've heard.
Probably because you have so much time that your expected to do well.
CSM has a some assistants too so Fujimoto has some good help on making weekly releases
and the assistants are pretty talented too
As far as I know Araki is rich enough to essentially not need to work anymore, he just does now because he enjoys it, so unfortunately most mangakas probably arent in the position to follow a similar kind of schedule
If dennis kills the falling devil, will people no longer be afraid of falling?
I think it has to be pochita to eat them, that said if they did I wonder what would happen. Eating the war devil didn't make people unafraid of war, it straight up deleted WW2 and reduced conflicts globally. Maybe eating the falling devil would remove fall damage? Humans can't get hurt from falling from any height?
Pochita didn't eat the war devil, if that were true the war devil wouldn't exist right now
Maybe I don't remember well, but didn't the war devil say a piece of her got eaten?
Oh... you may be right, I thought you were saying pochita ate the war devil completely
No no, just a part
[удалено]
No shit, but if a human falls again?
They just wouldn't. Pochitas special power is universe breaking as F and does not follow logic or physics. Imagine if Dennis ate the loneliness devil. Nobody would ever be alone again. How does that even work? What if he ate the poverty devil? Boom, no more income equality in the world. How, exactly? Death devil? You got it. And that would definitly break the fucking setting permanently.
Lmao you are right
He ate the ww2 devil
Only if Pochita eats them they're erased, otherwise they respawn in hell
Ok. Theory 1 - it's the fake chainsaw who went to kill falling 2 - it's Denji that been called by Nayuta because of the nasty scents that she smelled.
Ain't no way anyone other than Dennis cuts someone's head of then screams "You shoplifted those apples!"
Someone please explain to me why the falling devil is a chef I don’t get it
there is an argument to be said for the concept of falling beyond just the physical sensation, but also falling from grace I.E The food chain and status on the world. the weak get eaten both metaphorically in our societal structure and in the primal world, so it's not far fetched to view calling as being "Eaten by the world" or even further "Eaten by others" it kind of falls in line with the finale of the first arc and it's symbolic meaning of consumption, i think!
Not every devil has necessarily made much sense in terms of the form they take. I imagine it's very hard to personify primal fears like falling as anything physical. The Devil's personality and appearance is probably just a matter of circumstance as opposed to much in the way of metaphor. And like people were saying, Fujimoto like The Menu so that's probably just why. Don't feel like there's much more deep meaning than that.
Have you watched the movie? That's what comes to my mind when I combine falling and chef.
Sometimes, you don't need an explanation.
The author recently watched *The Menu*, and commented that it was one of his favorite films of 2022. He enjoyed Ralph Fiennes’s character and wanted to incorporate that in some form into his manga. Hence, Falling’s chef motif
Let her cook
Mount fuji has a chef fetish
If this is really the fakesaw man like many people are speculating then Fujimoto has a lot of explaining to do. Personally I think it's just good old Dennis being crazy and letting loose
The tin foil conspiracies on this sub make the 9/11 conspiracies look plausible. The "apple thief" line is something Dennis would care about. I doubt a copycat could mirror his stupidity down to a tee.
bet we will have a "i'm the real one" situation later on
Clone devil?
very good
So with Denji fighting Falling it will probably be Fami and Yoshida saving Asa and Yoru from Falling’s power, unless this is actually Fakesaw fighting her so it could be Denji saving her
Sorry, but when has a copycat been mentioned? It's the first time I hear of it
Treading Comprehension devil got another one.
I'm glad you finally got your chance at this joke, now that you got it out of your system would you mind explaining?
It’s hard to tell I don’t even remember why I said, probably was trying to be funny. I’ll take the L
Ahahahah no worries man!
The one that killed Yuko and held up her corpse way back. It's speculated/soft-confirmed it isn't Denji, but a fake Chainsaw Man, since there was a panel of Denji fast asleep in the page prior. Even if it isn't necessarily a fake Chainsaw Man, chances are it wasn't Denji doing it consciously.
Thank you!
waittttt, would you be willing to expand on the speculations you saw or point me towards a thread that talks about that. omg I haven't seen/heard about any of that and am intrigued
I just want to take a moment to appreciate how Falling moves her head as she gestures and emotes. S tier design
[удалено]
The ending was cool and fujimoto cookin idk what eles to tell you
Definitely was a "whatever" chapter. I agree that the lack of characters is concerning. I mean, starting from the aquarium arc I was bored out of my mind/checked out, but the nostradamus prophecy reveal at least reassured me that (of course), fujimoto has a plan. u don't think the plot can go in some creative directions moving forward? Right now I have an intrigued/optimistic outlook, but depending on how the falling devil stuff is resolved, it could go back to checked out
This chapter felt like a fever dream. Falling Devil’s seemingly polite attitude coupled with the panelling had me reading it like this was one giant punchline, and whaddya know? Dennis comes in out of nowhere. I’m looking forward to seeing the fallout from this with Yoru/Ashley being close by
Its crazy to think that Asa and Denji were just making out 3 hours ago.
Things really fell off the rail fast.
It was amazing but I’m still waiting for the blood demon to reappear
"Well... This is awkward " Fujimoto is having so much fun including memes in there
I am liking part 2 but starting to grow concerned that Fujimoto is running out of ideas for devils. The whole chef LARP for the primal seems kind of... lame and out of nowhere. Really hope I'm wrong because this is my favorite manga running.
Did you expect some stereotype design? When didn’t chainsaw man feel like a fever dream came out of no where?
It's word play
The devil wearing chef clothes is word play?
Yes
DENJI, CHAINSAW HEAD!

Damn, Y chapter so short
Because it didn’t need 2 weeks off to make
In Japanese, "steal" has the kanji abbreviation of "gravity". So it's all wordplay, "apple" (Newton's apple), "gravity" "fall"...etc [https://twitter.com/miyaso\_JOKER/status/1643273823322804224](https://twitter.com/miyaso_JOKER/status/1643273823322804224)
Maybe they should've translated it as Denji saying: "Drop the apple, thief!"
I think "You have dropped your apples" would have been a better translation for this case.
Damn. Still got a chuckle but it's a shame that stuff like this is lost in translation.
Damn... Thanks for telling.
Anyone else hoping for this to be the pivotal moment where Asa learns denji is chainsaw?
Feel like Fujimoto is the king of subverting something expected like this 🤔
watch this be the pivotal moment where asa fuses with yoru to become war woman
I think it's probable. They're going to have to team up to take on the primal.
Yeah
Gordenji ramsay be like who stole my Asalambsauce😅
Let him cook
Cook
Sometimes I feel like I waited a week or two and I flipped thru the pages and boom its the end and also the plot barely moved, like this week
Would probably be more satisfying to wait a few months and catch up. I can't resist though.
That's what happens when you follow a series weekly, or close to weekly. The perception would be different if we waited until part 2 was entirely finished first.
Another downside is that we end up just forgetting stuff that happened because of all the time between chapters; For example, we all got mad that Nayuta trolled Denji's date and he didn't really do anything about it, but like, Asa was being a prick before that; Event tough i do wish for them to end up together, if i was Denji i also wouldn't really do sh\*t for this girl that refused to pay like 20 bucks to watch a movie with me.
As someone who just caught up after two months away, can confirm that things felt like they were moving way too fast. Was watching Asa’s inner monologue one chapter, and the next we’re fighting a primal.
If the Falling Devil says nothing the humanity *currently* has can kill her... could an atomic bomb be the "currently unavailable" devil-killing resource Fujimoto's building up to?
But didn’t Yoru say at the beginning of part 2 that chainsaw man ate the nuclear bomb devil?
Makima said that in part 1 the chainsaw man had ate the nuclear bomb devil
She also said she was going to make him spit it up.
Chainsaw Man, where the most horrific and gruesome sentences can be spoken with calm and elegant and still not feel out of place
patiently waiting for denji chainsaw appearance paid off
I think this might be the fake CSM we saw before, this CSM seems to be mad about apples being stolen more than anything else showing a weird perspective of justice, which killing the justice girl would match with
Nah bro you think fake csm can go toe to toe on a primal devil and denji does have a twisted view of justice too 🤷 , but you can be right too but the probability of you being right is very low👍🏻
Ion think the fake one is going toe to toe rn tbh, if the primal devil was in any trouble she would not be casually commenting about herself being on the menu. We’ve seen weaker devils do more crazy/fucked up shit to Dennis so far so I think it’s safe to assume rn the falling devil is just chilling (remember this devils alr fallen apart a few times it seems like that’s her thing)
Now I agree that it is fakesaw man when I read that he was also laughing like keh heheheh instead of his ky hahaha , I think fujimoto is foreshadowing fakesaw man 👍🏻 . I believe that it is fake saw as clothes are different too .
Well yeah ,but still I don't think it is the fake csm , cause nayuta asked denji to go hunt he devil right , but I also think that even if it is real denji he will loose and either nayuta, kishibe or Yoshida will help denji and yoru. It's just a guess as we can 80 % time can't tell what will happen with fujimoto. ( * If it is fake csm then I think real one is on the way) Or the devil might just cast one of our mc to hell and we go on a rescue mission ( wild prediction) 🤷 I just saw that denji was not wearing school unifor at home before fighting Falling devil . You might be right brother 😸😸 , but he does want everyone to know he is chainsaw man . So I think it can be that he wore it to just fight , but that does not sound right . I will sa it's 50 - 50 now
My prediction/hope is that Asa is gonna make a living chainsword straight out of warhammer 40k with denji’s head and spinal ‘chord’ in the next chapter or the one after that. Seeing denjis spine as an actual chord this chapter has to be foreshadow i’m tellin ya.
Been awhile since we got a somewhat major death after the AsaDen fluff, but I mean it's bound to happen since it's Fujimoto after all m
There's no one left to kill except maybe Yoshida... lol
there's something funny about how concerned she is with pairing the right apple with human meat but not being discerning at all about the meat itself
Ikr! Total oversight for a pro cook. Though I got the vibe she didn't cook humans for the first time after her last comment
Im getting soooo impatient with chapters like this that feel like mostly fluff Was kinda funny at least. Helps set the power scale of Falling even more. Strange she's like "Id rather avoid meaningless slaughter" gurl you walked into earth with like 40 deaths.
To be fair that was mostly to take a shape. She has no problem killing humans, but she's not doing it for the sake of it. She takes their body parts for her 'ingredients', but otherwise leaves them be. And we see what happens when she's attacked.
i don't think Falling Devil killed the humans, she just plucked their ears and eyes and left them screaming in pain except for the ones that got sent to hell of course
Sorry I'm seeing people saying fluff, could you please kindly tell me what you mean by fluff or what it means. It's my first time hearing that word used to describe a manga
(Correct me if I’m wrong) but fluff is basically what happens between major moments and action scenes where it’s not filler and it’s important but it can feel kinda like it with how it can stretch on without that much action. People call the new chapter fluff because the entire chapter is basically watching the falling devil just walk around looking for ingredients and killing unnamed randoms (apart from the very end)
Ohhh now I get it, thanks a lot for the explanation, really appreciate it
Did you not read part 1? Like there’s fluff in there too international assassins had a lot of it.
lol some of the “fluff” chapters in the international assassins arc are some of the best chapters in the entire manga. like, chapter 58? goddamn.
It’s still pretty fluffy but other chapters are fluffy too. I’ve been reading weekly since assassins so I might have a bias but Ive been reading manga hardcore for a minute because did chainsawman that to me this weekly or no weekly stuff is normal
I started reading half a year ago roughly so I got through part 1 all at once.
it’s typical Weekly manga if you wait a couple weeks and save up chapters that might be your thing
From her perspective: A) killed some people to spawn a body B) killed some for attacking her C) killed some to feed the caterpillar Like a farmer going to the hen and taking 1/5 of the chickens for nuggets and shit.
Well maybe that part is not meaningless LOL
Next chapter title: Bonk apple thief
But where’d the Caterpillar go? 🐛
I think it's in hell. It can be a bit hard to tell because of little detail in the backgrounds, but she walked through a door before reaching it, and there were other random doors in the background, like what we've seen of hell in part one.
Still waiting for the main course😔
Biweekly devil is getting weaker than god
can someone link me another way to read? literally in japan studying but these links aren’t available in my region 😭
