Some months ago I did this collage to use it on a CSM edit and jokingly told my friends "this is kind of like the whole plot of CSM" while they looked at me weirdly"

[kqm-scrunkly]

I was rereading my physical copy of Chainsaw Man volume 11, easily one of my favourite's with it being the ending of part 1, but also for its really great panels!. (chapter 91-97 spoilers)

she wuvs him :3

I genuinely do think about this a lot ^

this panel hits really hard on the physical copy, Denji and Kobeni are on separate pages. it really shows their separation in life experiences and perspectives.

context makes this one a bit silly, but still hits very hard.

ik the girlies were freaking out on this cliffhanger

they hated her for this, can't a girl do anything

people don't talk about this enough

I remember not even understanding this part at first, my second reread of the series was when it hit me.

this was crazy. The way love was what defeated her. the series shows a few times, including this, that love has always been her weakness, what made her most human. the movie date with Denji shows her sincerely crying from an image of affection, one of the only times she isn't lying is when she exclaims her love for Chainsaw Man. Love is what made her Human, as weak as her puppets.

these pages always make me feel a bit sad, so very bittersweet. Love and Empathy is what will save the world from devils, part 2 still shows that to be what saves the day sometimes, and what is Denji's and Asa's greatest strengths.

Editor's said scene cut but Fujimoto heard serve cunt:

Thanks for reading! Chainsaw Man is one of my favourite stories so far, and I think the artistry and symbolism of the manga isn't appreciated enough. I have a few other volume's (1, 8, and 9), if you want I can go through those and show some of my favourite panels from those!

HIMENO CHAINSAW MAN SPOILERS

idk if this is a translation thing or what but Himeno says here that in exchange for feeding the ghost devil her right eye, she can use her OWN ghost’s right hand? Does that mean that might’ve become a ghost after giving up her body, just now she’s invisible? 

I think it would be really interesting if she could come back in vol. 2 at some point as a ghost!

Cursed crossover au where Jon and Martin end up in the chainsaw man universe

this would last five seconds bc (CSM SPOILERS BELOW)

makima woudl use her control devil powers on jon and start the apocalypse IMMEDIATELY. like that's it we're done for. pack it up boys

[cqntrcller]

.. the cinema-hopping date chapter with makima is very telling about her character in a nutshell. makima has watched plenty of movies, before, enough to know that she only finds one out of ten interesting. when her and denji go on the date, makima can't connect with the movies in any emotional capacity at all. there's not even a negative reaction to them; when she gives her thoughts on them, they're short, to-the-point, and are stated more like facts than what she thinks. the rest of the audience, in the panels they're given attention, do have emotional reactions to what they see.

makima doesn't look at the stories the way others do, she doesn't connect with them, and she looks at it with a more objective lens. makima is detached not just from the stories but humanity as a whole - as she was raised, and as is 'natural' for a human. it's not until her and denji see the final movie, alone in the theatre together and watching the movie 'no one understands', that makima finally expresses a genuine emotion, and perhaps the most 'human' emotion we've seen from her in the entire manga. she cries.

i think what makes this moment so impactful, and why it matters to makima's character, is that her connecting with the movie is what she wants as a whole. which, yeah, is basically spelled out by fujimoto towards the end of part 1, but why does makima make a habit out of watching movies, despite the fact it seems she doesn't care about them at all?

because there was one movie she's seen before that she connected with, that she saw and something resonated with her, and she catches a glimpse of what humans feel - something she's wanted for her entire life. makima chases and chases after the stories that humans love, in case she gets that feeling again. if she felt it once, then she should feel it again right? but while this is happening, while she's chasing after fictional stories and tales of the chainsaw devil, she's disconnected from that humanity.

the final two pages of the chapter, when denji asks makima if he has a heart - that's not just denji himself the manga is asking the question about. does makima have a heart?

for denji, makima says yes. she puts her head against his chest, and listens to his heartbeat - to pochita - and confirms he does. she walks away and leaves him alone in the dark. she's saying yes because that's what denji wants to hear, because she cares more about his literal heart than anything else about him.

but the way she's shown to 'prove' it. denji is not asking literally. makima answers literally. even though she connected with the movie just before, she still can't with a 'human'. it's always a power dynamic with her. when she walks away from denji and leaves him alone, vulnerable and confused and infatuated, she's so close to understanding genuine connections on more than an objective level. but she, of her own accord, leaves, the understanding is gone, and denji is left in the aftermath.

Spoilers for Chainsaw Man especially the chapters leading to the last arc ⚠️⚠️⚠️

I know Fujimoto said that Aki's name was cause of AK-47 (he becomes possessed by the gun devil) but though there is no official Kanji of his name I'd like to think Aki could also be a reference to the season autumn/fall (秋) and that his death was the start of tragedy (a harsh cold winter) in Denji's life. The way the start of snow signals autumn ending and Aki imagining his last moments with Denji as a snowball fight.
