CSM #181 SPOILERS

It's so interesting to see Yoru like this again, so pathetic. Especially so soon after her show of power and dominance in the last few chapters. She's been completely overtaken, literally rendered powerless.

So, she takes her frustration out on Denji, indulging herself in him. She's genuinely attracted to Denji, whether due to Asa's feelings bleeding through, or her own. And it seems like she gets off on taking what she wants from him, on having power over him, like previously when she literally had his balls in her hands. Him being Chainsaw Man probably has a lot to do with that.

She's covering up her insecurities over being powerless, by abusing Denji. It's awful of her, pathetic and more than a little sad.

CSM 167: Yo, What the Fuck?

So, that chapter, huh?

To just get it out of the way, Yoru gave Denji a handjob and he came on her hand, and despite how crude that sounds I find this whole chapter fascinating. Normally I like to think these kinds of posts out but right now my mind is racing trying to organize everything, so I'm going write whatever pops into my mind.

So first thing, there's the issue of consent, and I'll start with Asa, because she didn't show up until the very end, but we have to remember that Asa has shown the ability to push Yoru out of the driver's seat in moments where she is particularly having strong emotions, and someone using your hand to jack someone off would get some kind of strong emotion out of her. Yoru seems to act as Asa's unfiltered, unrestrained thoughts and desires, the version of Asa that acts without the worry of what other people think or say about her, so that means if Yoru was allowed to do this, then that means on some subconscious level that Asa was okay with this happening. I'm certain she'll scream and yell about it later, but that won't change the fact she let this happen. Then there's Denji, who at this point I think we'll just have to accept that even if all parties involved give consent I doubt he'll ever have a really "normal" sexual experience, and the fact that Yoru seemed to be getting into this along with him, instead of her just using it to manipulate him like literally every other girl he's been with unironically maybe puts it at the top of the list for him.

Which brings me to Yoru! back when the had the apartment date, she kissed Denji and when she pulled away she was blushing, she felt something for him at that moment, and as we saw here the returning memory of that date had her act on that feeling again. We know that Asa's emotions leak into Yoru, and considering Asa's own feelings on Denji that means that to some extent Yoru feels them too, but unlike Asa, Yoru has no inhibitions to stop her from acting on her desires.

EDIT: I decided to add another bit on Yoru

The thing I'm most interested in seeing is how this will affect Yoru's relationship with her own powers. Her weapons are powered up by the guilt associated in making them, but between having no real moral compass and not ever becoming emotionally attached to anything she's never had any sense of guilt, meaning she can't make the most of her own powers. What will happen if she tries to make weapon out of Denji? She's feeling attracted to him, she knows she likes him, meaning she'll get a strong weapon out of him, but what if she goes for it and she can't do it because guilt is such a foreign concept for her despite how important it is to her skill set and having to actually confront her own guilt terrifies her?

Overall, this chapter left me with two major thoughts on what I think/want to happen.

The first being is that this is what causes Denji to snap, that he'll have some post-nut clarity and call Asa out on how she's been acting, because from his point of view she's been an unstable, schizophrenic psychopath this whole day. Denji asks her about her arm, she kicks him in the balls, she says she wants to help him, but she threatens to fight him, she tries to castrate him, and she gives him a hand job and makes out with him! What is he supposed to reasonably think about her in this situation when she's just been nothing but an inconsistent mess? I want them to start getting mad and start yelling, with Asa arguing with both him and Yoru which only makes her look more insane to him. I really feel like if they get angry, then Denji can actually start beginning to take some control of his life back instead of letting everyone push him around, and Asa will be forced to confront her flaws and mistakes, that she can only be in denial for so long while Denji is screaming in her face about it. It would be ugly and messy, but I think it might actually be good for them in the end.

Also, I'm not entirely joking when I say if those two(three?) end up having intense hate sex in that alleyway in the rain, then I think it would be insane in the best kind of ways.

And second, I think it would be unhinged is Asaden was a red herring, and Yoruden was the real end game pairing. It might legit be the start to Asa's villain origin story. She goes out and does all these things just so Denji can feel strong affections for her, to give her something to latch her self-worth and the attempts to validate her life, oly for Denji to fall in love with Yoru instead. It would be both hilarious and tragic.

Another thing! Up until this point I thought Denji and Asa's relationship would be a tragedy or What Ifs and Could Have Beens, but instead I want them to be unhinged as possible, spiraling down while they blaze the candle at both ends. Just let their relationship become everyone's problem from now on.

Overall, the last few months have left me nervous and apprehensive about what each new chapter of Chainsaw Man will bring, but as of this chapter I find myself more excited than ever because I feel like this might end up taking the story is some insane places.

ONE MORE EDIT: I wrote a one-shot regarding my interpretation of this mess: Back Alley Screaming Match.

Obviously heartbreaking scenario, but I find funny that Yoru is feeling second hand love for Denji this way while also keep calling him punk, haha. The funny in the pain... thanks Fujimoto.

Hello Chainsaw Man fans! 

Do you create and/or enjoy fanworks for Chainsaw Man? 

Do you wish there were more fanworks for Chainsaw Man, whether it’s a story where Denji finally finds someone who loves him for who he is, art depicting Hayakawa family hijinks, a gifset with some good Akiangel angst, or some tasty CSM character x reader content?

Consider getting involved with Fandom Trumps Hate (FTH)! It’s a fan charity auction in which fan creators sign up to offer a work as a “thank you” gift. Whoever bids the most on that “thank you” gift donates that offering directly to one of the supported organizations, and then gets a custom “thank you” gift in return. All of the proceeds go to small and progressive nonprofits that are working to protect marginalized people!

This is a pan fandom event, so if you’re new to Chainsaw Man and don’t feel comfortable creating for it yet, you’re perfectly welcome to sign up as a creator for a different fandom. I participated last year, and will be offering fanfiction (two one shots!) again this year.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Sign up to be a creator, and/or keep your eyeballs peeled for the offers to open so you can bid!

For Creators: Signups for the auctions will be open from February 6-19. Signups happen on google forms and the link will be available here, as well as on FTH’s tumblr and other social media sites.

For Bidders: The auction site will be publicly visible on dreamwidth starting February 26 and the bidding happens between March 1-5.

For more info, check out FTH’s FAQ and their list of 2023 supported organizations.

Even if you can’t participate, consider reblogging this so that it reaches more Chainsaw Man fans. The more people to bid on, the more money raised!

Chainsaw Man: Polyamory Endgame?

With the last chapter it seems like the lines between Asa and Yoru are blurring more and more, where Asa's desires are turning into Yoru's own desires, with Denji being the target of said emotions, and it has me wondering something.
