"Reminds me of an old friend"

How a line can break so many hearts of the fandom.

We know what old friend was Denji talking about and still the injury is open.

[starwart1]

They are soulmates. They must be protected. AT ALL COSTS.

The fact that Asa reminded Denji of Power, the fact that they were just laughing and running together in the aquarium, shared some food and most importantly the fact that Asa got to see just how mature Denji really is, she now knows that his life was shit when he was younger and that he does what he does to pay for Nayuta's college tuition, so that she can have a good life when growing up. I love that War Devil isn't just used as a "strong enemy" or "horrible threat", but instead Fujimoto is really taking his time to exploit all of the character's traits and personalities to make the story more interesting. It's about dialogue, developpment, share and growth. It's beuatiful.

it’s such a small detail but denji describing nayuta as something like a little sister to him tells me he really thought about how aki and power were like a brother and sister to him, something he didn’t realize until makima pointed it out

Chainsaw Man Chapter 116 Thoughts

The destination is almost within sight, and a long journey of catching up is about reach its end.  Which is a great way to correlate to the events that transpire within this experience at the Aquarium with Denji  and Asa.

A conversation about the Starfish is discussed about between Denji and Asa whether it was edible to eat and certain capabilities if eaten raw.  This wasn’t much of an issue because Denji found a solution to make things work in order to boil the starfish.  It is a then the topic of conversation shifted to school hats which sat on the floor where they both were to which Denji reveals he’s collecting them to sell, and Asa got curious about his obsession with money.  

Denji reveals to Asa that he’s doing this because of little sister figure, Nayuta, who is smart enough to go to college.  He recognizes that it’s crazy expensive to go to College and is doing everything to make sure she has a normal life because his was really crappy.  From there, the starfish is ready for them both to eat before shifting their attention to fish that sat on the side.

Asa isn’t too fond of the taste from the fish, but that is something Denji finds amusing about her even saying she’s actually fun despite claiming to be a total bore.  Upon hearing those words,  Asa’s confidence and attitude skyrockets which reminds Denji of his old friend, Power.  She proclaims that there was a way for them to escape but first they gotta collect the money, and once that is done Asa tells Denji to hand it over  to her.  

Finally, he is reluctant to do so until  hearing “I’ll grant you any request” once they are out of this place. That was enough to hand the money over to Asa then convinces him to cover his eyes and ears before she makes a plea.  Pay off the one million yen in the bag to buy this aquarium before placing her hand on the glass chanting “Aquarium Spear!” bringing an end to the chapter.

All in all, this chapter of Chainsaw Man gets a Pure Perfection rating.  There has been a common trend where it feels we’re stuck in one spot for a small amount of chapters, but Tatsuki Fujimoto manages to let ‘em have depth and meaning behind them. This one is no different as the focus was centered primarily on Denji and Asa’s character respectively. Learning about what’s been going on in Denji’s day to life since the events of Part 1 was really amazing, but also seeing him have a great time with Asa and act like genuine teenagers was beautiful.  Which brings us to an ending where things clearly are about to lead somewhere for the readers which that anticipation definitely left a mark, but this is all I gotta say for the time being with Chainsaw Man.   The curtain on my catch up to the manga is slowly beginning to close and my next chapter thoughts will be up soon, but until then, I hope you all take care of yourselves out there and stay safe.
