do you think the Christian God/heaven actually exists in CSM or do you think the only reason Angel tells a dying woman that she’s going to heaven is to help her be less afraid?
#this is a rhetorical question because I’m firmly a fan of the latter being true#Angel to Aki: ‘I’m a devil before I’m an angel. I think humans should suffer as they die.’#Angel to the civilian a few chapters later: ‘it’s okay. because you’re going to heaven.’#he’s so. ough. [positive]#I feel like the reasons he told Aki that included: he didn’t want to set a precedent of killing people/following orders#he wanted Aki to have to reckon with killing people even if he doesn’t want to (like Angel has been forced to do)#csm#and the way that in the Bible angels’ opener is always ‘do not be afraid’#but devils’ strength in chainsaw man draws from how feared they are#so much conflict within Angel’s existence. between Angel and the system he’s trapped in. between Aki and Angel’s characters/values.#gnawing on the contradictions#fuck I love character foils#chainsaw man spoilers#csm manga#chainsaw man#my chainsaw man thoughts#my csm thoughts#meposting#my thoughts#I think about him all the time#csm angel
