HIGH-SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS + YOSHIDA HIROFUMI

you meet your high-school sweetheart after years of not seeing him!!

warnings: this is part of fluff month, this was too long but...d-dont look at me + requests are open ! check pinned post for requesting rules

you remember he was gorgeous during high-school. yoshida was one of the prettiest boys not only in your class, but, and everyone agreed, in the entire school. and you were close to him. and you loved him. you thought he felt the same – he told you more than once about his feelings and you two almost started to date – and you thought you two would end up sticking together after graduation. until he disappeared completely one day.

you thought something happened because of his job. in the next weeks of his disappearance, you watched the news religiously, wanting to see if his face appeared as "young devil hunter victim of a devil attack". but no. nothing ever came up.

years later, you still thought about it. the old polaroids that you kept in a box, hidden in the deepest part of your closet, reminded you of his face and the future your younger self planned. one of the pictures was really dear for you. you were smiling at the camera, doing a peace sign with your hand; yoshida stood next to you, but he wasn't looking at the camera like you. he was looking at your smiling self, a soft smile on his lips. your hopes of seeing him again slowly died throughout the years and that box was just something that hurt you.

asa and denji, your high school friends, wanted to see you. for a long, really long, time, they kept on sending you texts and leaving voicemails on your phone to invite you out. your schedule made it really hard for you to fit a meet-up in, so you always end up refusing. but it's asa and denji. they would find a way.

and they did. you arrived from your university early; you were glad for that moment, because it would mean that you would be able to rest more and finally watch that movie you've been wanting to watch for weeks now. you opened the door for your apartment and a fit of giggles immediately hit your ears, and you know who they belong to.

"asa?" you called out and the girl's face popped up from behind the kitchen door. "what– how did you get in here?"

"surprise!" the girl and denji said in unison. you blinked in confusion and denji took some steps forward with your favorite dish on his hands. he smiled widely and said, "we thought about surprisin' you, heh."

with the way the duo looked like, you couldn't help, but smile. you really missed those dorks. "thanks, guys. but since when you two can cook without getting yourselves all dirty?"

"i made it." a deep voice said from behind them and, when the person stepped into your view, your breath caught in your throat. yoshida? "i made your favorite from back in high school. i hope you still enjoy it."

you opened and closed your mouth twice before simply nodding and murmuring a "y-yeah, i do."

asa seemed to notice the small tension and awkwardness that slowly started to build up; she grabbed denji's arm and started to pull him, making him leave the meal in the counter before they made their way to the living room. you were pretty sure that denji murmured a "wait, weren't they lovers or somethin'? why the fuck are you pullin' me away" before they were out of sight.

yoshida took a few steps forward, until he was right in front of you. he was taller and so much more handsome than you remember. his hair was shorter, he had two new lip piercings – snake bites, if you recalled the name right – and the way that his t-shirt hugged his body made you notice his toned muscles. his hand slowly came to hold your cheek and you let him.

"why did you leave?" these words slipped past your lips before you could stop them.

yoshida sighed and looked into your eyes, his dark irises seemed to engulf you inside them. "sorry 'bout that. i still don' know why i left. scared, i guess." he finished his sentence with a humourless chuckle. "could we start over? you can punch me if you want, i just–"

"not that early." you murmured, taking his hand away from your face. you started walking to the kitchen, softly bumping your shoulder on his while you were passing by the man. with the corner of your eye, you noticed his face drop and your heart clenched with the urge to forgive him. "you're gonna have to cook a lot for me before i fully forgive you. for free too."

the deep laughter that he did made you smile too. "yeah, sure. i need a place to stay anyway, i can be your butler."

Ok guys bear with me let's imagine that CSM takes place like two decades later, now let's imagine the characters have social media. Here's how I think that would go.

Power has a viral instagram account where she only posts pictures of Meowy cause everyone loves cats, so she has like thousands of followers. She doesn't interact with anyone besides that. Sometimes she leaves comments on pictures of other cats saying "your cat is fucling ugly. Mine is much better"

She also has a twitter account. Or, well, many twitter accounts. She's banned from it almost weekly and Aki keeps having to make her new accounts. Everytime he makes another one he begs her not to threaten to kill anyone. She does it anyway.

Aki used social media as an old lady, as in he only uses it to see the news and recipes. When he was a bit younger, however, he had tumblr

Denji has Instagram and tik tok cause he heard there's a lot of pretty women in those places. He only uses instagram to stare at women and see cute pictures of dogs. He somehow ended up in the lesbian thirsty trap side of tik tok. He's not exactly complaining.

He has a chainsaw man fan account on twitter. He doesn't use twitter for anything else as the discourse makes his head hurt.

Angel has pinterest, which he uses to mindless look at aesthetic food pictures and weird memes all day. He sometimes sends said memes to Aki. Aki is worried

Kobeni has a twitter account which she uses like a diary and overshares way too much and a tik tok account where she posts little dances. She's a great dancer, but she's always crying in her videos cause that's how being perceived makes her feel

Yoshida has a twitter account where he wins discourses by either being right in an annoying way or sending people their exact address. He also makes sure Denji doesn't reveal his identity is his chainsaw man fan account

Asa DEFINITELY has a tumblr account (one of us one of us) where she trauma dumps and posts about her hiperfixations and special interests. (Don't we all)

Makima has a twitter account and she's actually really famous. Y'know, cause she's the average twitter user.

[aretheyqueer]

Is he gay?

[belligerentbaddie]

Yoshida canonically being the type to get so overwhelmed to run away into the woods to be alone when hes upset cuz he needs total silence and privacy is sooo

[karmaxella]

Yoshida headcanons (soft/comfort)

Soft HC

Yoshida loves to run his fingers through your hair. He likes to detangle all of those knots in your hair, knowing it irritates you when you brush it.

When you're not home, he likes to clean your side of the closet, organizing from colors, to pants, to shirts and shoes. He just doesn't like it when it's all cluttered and unorganized.

When he's not home, or when he thinks of you, he buys flowers and your favorite chocolate bar along with a little 'Thank you' letter to show his gratitude for you.

When you come home drunk, he makes sure to help you to the room, as he undresses you and takes off your makeup. He also places Advil and water by your nightstand, so when you wake up while he's at work... Your water and headache relief is there.

He rubs your feet after a long stroll around town, as he scolds you about wearing heels in not-so-special occasions.

He kisses you before he leaves to work, or when you're asleep he still leaves a small kiss on your head.

He'll fold your clothes when you're having a day, or when you forget your clothes were in the dryer.

He takes extra care of you after work/finals/occasions/nightouts.

Comfort HC

When you two get into a huge argument, he tried to come around with small talk around home. Trying to make you feel comfortable with him, even if you're still mad at him.

He'll bring you tea when you've been crying about something big/small, even if it wasn't a big deal.

Yoshida likes to give you small pats on the hand, back, head and thigh. Trying to let you know it's okay to cry when you're upset.

He'll give you small kisses on the cheeks, shoulders, forehead, hands and head. Even when he's pissed with you as well, but he could care less.

When you've been crying more than two hours, he tries to settle you down with little comforting words about what you're upset about. He obviously hates when you cry for so long that he thinks it's kind of ridiculous, but he loves you, so it's fair.

He thinks you're better with him than any human being out there, because he's just the best, in his opinion.

a/n: these are only HCS I think he'll have 😭 if they're out of character... let me dream 🥲 he's like boyfriend material 💅

Honestly the funniest Chainsaw Man headcanon is Yoshida Hirofumi & Asa Mitaka half-siblingsm and I won't elaborate further.

Fujimoto when he draws Chainsaw Man volume cover 10 and 17 with respective characters seems to be appearing in the mc's dream (red door background & the end of alleyway) because he was silly dilly

[beach-boyzz]

Hc thing... going with the hc that Yoshida is Kishibes son and was sort of born into this life of public safety already... it would be interesting if Yoshidas contract with the octopus devil was already arranged for him as a child.. In a way to keep Kishibe "tied" to public safety but not really that? ... but more of as a reminder of the lack of control he has being in here, even not having control of his own kid...

Autistic reading of Hirofumi + general observations

The time has come. I’m talking about cryptid boy. I adore him, and to me he reads as autistic highkey. Earlier today this post happened and it just made me want to get into the nitty gritty of him: https://fumifooms.tumblr.com/post/704906702244429824/his-whole-job-is-keeping-chainsaw-man-alive-and What’s funny too is, because well, we have Asa right there, Yuko too, and arguably others like Denji or Power which, yeah, y’all got a place on the spectrum- But when it comes to Hirofumi people jump a lot to more supernatural explanations for his vibes being “off”. When, like… The fact that you can’t read him isn’t necessarily because he’s some conspiracy. Not to say that he’s not suspicious, he is, but it’s funny to me that people don’t consider that mostly he may just be… Socially inept. Irl people like him exist, I assure you. Autism makes the dream work, amirite.

Tldr: He’s my kind of autism (aka he’s me irl. His behavior was my way of adapting to a neurotypical world, too! I try to keep projection out of this analysis, tho). Developed a mastery of social behavior to seem friendly and casual until his social acting became too much instead of too little (the latter being the one usually associated with autism) and something feels off about him now because he does a front of being neurotypical when he’s autistic as shit. Like a cryptid trying to wear a human suit-disguise and just ends up feeling uncanny, y’know. He’s always cold and calculated on the inside, but attempts to have a warm exterior to put people at ease so he can do his job better and blend in with everyone else without bumps in the road.  I’ll spend this analysis mostly pointing out things about him rather than arguing that they’re inherently autistic traits, since we know little about him the argument is first of all about pining down his character rather than arguing about the nature of the traits, tbh. Still, for anyone familiar with autistic traits a lot of these are super self-explanatory, and I won’t explain all the links.

This is long and has tons of pictures, so I’m putting it under a cut!

Pt 1: social outcast? Two worlds

He appears cool guy to most, sure, but no one really ever… Bothers to interact with him? He’s always there TM, but people don’t talk to him, and he usually keeps his input to conversations to minimum (when they aren’t one-on-one). He doesn’t approach anyone, no one approaches him. It’s a mutual “I don’t really care” between him and the rest of the world. Though, he does get singled out and otherized for being successful in devil hunting at his age, when it’s brought up, and so both by fellow devil hunters and classmates. (Most visible in how the school devil hunting club greets him, but also in part 1 Kishibe forgetting a devil hunter could possibly be a highschooler, etc). From what we see it’s implied he has 0 friends.

I do think remembering that he’s a highschooler for this is important, because Yoshida is essentially between two worlds. Professional devil hunting, which makes him have to be cool-headed and works with professional adults, facing death all the time and quickly develop working chemistry with new colleagues, and highschool, where you have to be normal enough and perform socially, esp since we know bullying is a rampant problem his school has. I do think, as an autistic, that would party explain his behavior; switching behaviors and personas for one or the other would be bothersome and erratic, so he mashes both sides of what he has to be into one personality that can work for both worlds, and keeps the same demeanor for every situation he’s in. Casual and friendly enough for school, always cool-headed and ready to face life-or-death situations for devil hunting. The result is this fucking guy. Feels misplaced in every situation he’s in as a reader, imo at least. I do think he realizes that he can be off-putting, but what he does with that information is kinda unclear. I feel like he feels that he’s above others, in many situations. That or very nihilist. 

Pt 2: His smile, interactions

His smile is 90% of why I saw him as autistic. It’s such an autistic smile. He sucks at it. It doesn’t reach his eyes, it’s clear that it’s always plastered on and it’s empty. He ends up just looking like a sneaky bastard half the time. And like- Remember that time he wanted to see if the hitman in the alley was an hitman or a civilian? It doesn’t seem like he was going for intimidation at all, because in that same interaction he just goes “hm well he’s scared shitless, it can’t be my target.” Plus he doesn’t comment on the civilian clearly being in range to realize he just killed someone, so that part wasn’t intentional, either. His fucking smile when he looked at him?? Guys, he was trying to approach the guy to casually ask him what he’s doing. That fucking smile, was him being casual to ask a rando something. Also there’s something very autistic and funny in “hey yo you good? You’re not a hitman per chance are you?” “Urgh I don’t feel so good” “ok fair, good argument, bye”

I think that interaction perfectly represents what I was saying about him being stuck between two worlds, though. He has to be threatening and cold enough so that if the guy is the assassin he’s giving enough pressure so that he may slip up, but friendly and normal enough so that if he’s a civilian he didn’t just freak him out, and that balance is very important so that he can get the correct information and assessment. But like, he accomplishes all of that through subliminal messaging lol, through vibes, body language etc however you want to say it. And that duality messes his game up, and he’s quick to make assumptions and be confident that they’re the right ones. The latter point is not only supported by the pages below but also through the way he talked with Kishibe about Makima. He’s very intuitive, and rather impulsive once he thinks he has something figured out. It does backfire on him somewhat regularly. Counting the “I am taking away your cutlery so you can’t eat cake until you listen to me” strategy he tried on Denji lol. More on that later.

He also sucks at conversations. Like, he really does. I haven’t seen him holding a good conversation ever highkey. Which, he doesn’t try much, either, as previously mentioned when he’s not one-on-one he talks extremely little. It was easy to forget about his presence when he was on the rooftop with Denji and Asa arguing, or in the aquarium tbh, or in part 1′s gang. He’s easy to lose in a crowd. It was a whole joke when part 2 started; “Be honest guys who here remembered Yoshida existed?”. People in-world look at him and see nothing notable about him, then promptly forget about him when he autistically sticks to being quiet in a corner, while still doing his job efficiently well. He’s good at seeming well-adjusted and normal on the surface, but keeps people at bay just by being a hard to approach milktoast guy. He blends in with the background. He’s great for spy shit, bad for the rest. He seems like he’d be good for interrogations at first, but beyond being observant he’d be absolute shit at it, like his interactions with the assassin guy and Denji prove. He’s honestly not great at reading people. He can puzzle out characteristics or skills they have, but on the more emotional or social workings he has to be walked through things slowly, or just make wild guesses and risky plays.

Moving on, his infamous lame-ass excuses for always being at the same place as Denji all the time? Yeah. I don’t know how much he tries for them to be believable but we all know they fall really flat. Also the way he laughs when he doesn’t know how to react is hilarious. Hirofumi is such an awkward person

General demeanor, tone deafness

It feels like he’s kinda bored all of the time imo, but of course that’s just an assumption based on his demeanor. The classic thing about being autistic is precisely that no one has a clue what’s happening inside, emotions or whatever. He’s so deadpan about everything ever. 

I think the reason he keeps his bangs that way is a sensory thing tbh. Or, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was actively trying to hide his face, his eyes that he can never get to emote right. Maybe he doesn’t like being looked at, or noticed. Maybe it ties in with his devil contract, ink clouds are for hiding + to blind, after all. Ooh maybe something about that is his contract cost- That’d be epic.

His smile is a constant rather than a way to communicate something. Masking. It’s always just plastered on along with his shallow pleasant countenance, it feels almost like a survival tactic, or his state of being. He’s almost beastly sometimes, in part 1 mostly. Like idk how to explain it but the autistic experience of “Masking & emoting for social interactions is my token of survival even if I feel like an animal backed into a corner” is raw and real & f yeah. This bit may seem out of left-field, but yeah if Hirofumi has some internal turmoil I feel like that sort of shit is how he’d go

He has this almost obsession with being casual & appearing friendly, despite how misplaced it can be for the situation. Which does tie in with the smile thing. But yeah just in this pleasant demeanor we’ve discussed, he really does stand out with just how friendly and casual he always is

He’s so tonedeaf. The page below is just after it’s revealed to them that some assassins are after the guy he’s protecting (Denji) and that they can shapeshift. He’s smiling even as he’s saying that they’re in deep, deep shit. This page doesn’t show it well on its own, but he’s the first to recover his composure, esp with Denji half-dead. Beyond Power being Power, everyone is like 😨 Yoshida stands out with his reaction, which goes straight to the point and assess their situation logically all while smiling, but more on that later.

He’s constantly saying grave stuff while being pretty lighthearted. His nonchalant attitude would be comedic if this wasn’t an horror & tragedy manga lol. He just admitted that he’s ready to die & expects it and what, just like that, one sentence and cool let’s get onto the next topic. It is interesting how he acted during the aquarium arc crisis tbh. He truly has no desire to connect with other people, even in this conversation with Denji he’s talking business all through it, rather than anything else. He doesn’t approach or interact with the others, doesn’t give his input on the situation when the group is brainstorming. He just stays in his corner and observes from afar.

Logic-oriented, coldness and laser focus

His rigidly logical nature is actually somewhat of a flaw for him. His rationale makes him make mistakes, such as assuming a pro would never puke. It’s also why he attempts to use reason and logic with Denji so much, which becomes quickly apparent that it doesn’t work with him. This attitude/way of looking at things backfires on him regularly, as mentioned. This is what I mean by laser focus, mostly, because he has a hard time looking beyond a narrow field of possibilities and causal links, like we already discussed. Once it leaves that field he becomes blind to it, he’s so laser focused that not only does he not consider any possibility beyond what his logic tells him, but if something presents itself that doesn’t align with his logic he’ll promptly dismiss it, in a very erratic way.

He’s obviously very very dedicated to his job. He has for sure trained to have his martial arts skills, and he spends pretty much all his time in part 2 looking over Denji. Being part of the background is part of his job, and he has 0 friends. And he’s fine with it. He’s SO good at hiding his emotions and thoughts, because he keeps the same face 90% of the time.

Money is his motivation, we know this. As much as we can know something about him right now, anyways. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does have some ideological devotion for his job’s mission, but he talks about is as his job first of all, and, yeah, money.

I think there’s also something you can say about how it feels like he’s always one step ahead or playing a higher game when holding conversations with people. Which, I think it’s also important to not that that’s only a feeling, and that doesn’t mean that that’s what he’s doing, or rather, intending. Usually, what he says is only ever to inform or figure out something. Anyways- The only time I feel like this is less true, that he’s constantly blatantly playing games in his conversations, is with the convo above with Kishibe. They’re both super honest and blunt, laying all their cards on the table and speaking with a similar demeanor of cold nonchalance. He speaks matter-of-factly, objectively, without empathy, no matter the topic. No matter the topic. Ever. He calculates risks and rewards constantly and only reveals he’s made those maths when he feels like it (Like with the phone he had in the aquarium arc). Anyways, My point here is just that autistic kids tend to get along better with older people than other kids, the classic “oh you’re so mature for your age”, and I feel like that’s reflected well here. The reason of why that is is pretty simple, autistic kids tend to communicate in ways that are different to other kids and which can weird them out, while adults are more used to different kinds of people and more blunt or wordy conversations. It’s Kishibe’s logical outlook and assessment of situations that allow him to keep up with what Hirofumi’s saying instead of being weirded out here, and they have a good & productive conversation as equals because of it. 

I do think that’s a big part of the appeal of yoshiden, because Denji disregards social conventions and common sense so much that even Yoshida gets stumped sometimes, and it makes him feel more like a highschooler, makes him lose control of the situation and even his face for a bit. It’s healthy for him. And it’s fun on top of humanizing this otherwise cryptic character.

As we’ve seen, surprise is the only emotion he emotes other than his smile (neutrality not included). That’s actually a pretty huge thing!! It does confirm on some level that his smile is a constant that he has to put on, since surprise is the only thing that breaks it and makes him emote more genuinely. Look I made a collage lol. These are 100% of the times where he’s not either smiling or having a neutral face. Like… A dozen panels. I think there’s something to say about surprise being the one emotion he emotes and how he can be rather impulsive, too.

He’s very methodical, the way he interacts with people. With Denji especially, we could see him in real time trying to get a read on Denji. He eventually does, learning to provide what Denji wants so he’ll listen to him more.

——

Misc

At last, the most compelling argument /j: HE SITS FUCKIN’ WEIRD!! In the pic below part of it is that they have to be ready to stand up at any moment to fight, but! He also always crosses his legs when sitting, and I think that’s a lovely detail Fujimoto, and also yeah same. Ofc leg-crossing isn’t exclusive to neurodivergent people, but ways people sit can be surprisingly affected by stuff like being understimulated. I always sit cross-legged, I cannot sit normally without some other way to tuck my legs if I don’t have them crossed, or my brain goes blank. I am not kidding. 

ANYWAYS HE SITS FUCKIN WEIRD!! Doing the big lean, look at him go

Also he holds phones like L Lawliet which is really all the evidence you need lol

In conclusion

Have you *seen* the way he just sits and tries to psychanalyze Denji, asking him why he does the things he does? Have you seen a more autistic bitch ever? He oozes the autism in every little thing he does. Honestly I’m surprised there aren’t more people saying the same thing when it’s so blatant. Once you get to a certain threshold of masking and avoiding attention people don’t suspect a thing. I was diagnosed at 18 and my mom at 50, so yeah, relatable lol. I love him so much

Part 1 Yoshida is a lil fella on the job being weird but trying his best and minding his business. Part 2 Yoshida is a deadpan but fake smile master who autistically struggle to connect with people in a way that allows him to do his job well. He’s creepy and uncanny af without meaning to. 

My autism is the direct reason that attracts me to him, rather than aesthetics or anything else, if that makes sense. (I’m not saying that any reason is superior, just that since my autism is what draws me to him as a character it is an argument for him being autistic coded, in that way). I humanize him a lot, and he humanizes me in turn.

This chapter made me sick man

[giggly-squiggily]

I DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE (if you don’t mind) LISTEN LISTEN

octopus devil LER (i can imagine octo devil being someone who would pop out of no where and just physical attention, idk just smth cute)

yoshida just minding his own business until octo devil *pop* bug ol’ hug

BUT WAIT- theres more

headcannon: octopus devil suction cups = evil tck weapon

i will let your imagination guide you

*slams hands on desk in glee* YES! Oh my god this is beyond brilliant AHHH! I adore Yoshida, and the idea of the Octo devil being all cuddly and such is so freaking CUTE *dies* Friend- your mind is beyond amazing and I platonically love you. I've gotcha covered!

“Huh? Oh, hello there.” Yoshida, who was currently scribbling away at his notebook, looked down to find a long squishy tentacle wrapped around his torso. “Clingy today, aren’t we?”

No answer came, but he could feel the Octopus devil squeeze more, the strength equivalent to one of Denji’s bearhugs. Yoshida laughed as he patted the limb, used to this particular creature’s antics.

“I appreciate it, but I have to get these notes done. I’ll take a break in an hour.” He lowered his pen back to the paper-

“Ah!” The writing utensil spasmed out of his hand as something wiggled against his torso.

Octopus tentacles, he came to learn after making the pact, are very intricate. Thousands of them lined the creature's arms, each used for a variety of sensory uses. One of them being to grip. In a way, it was like having a thousand fingers.

And right now, those fingers were currently tickling the hell out of Yoshida.

“Gah! Ahehahahahhaha! N-No! Stahahhahap thahahhahat!” He yelped in mirth, trying in vain to pull the strong tentacle off his waist. This button down proved less than useful in terms of guarding him from the feathery feeling. “Dohoohohohohn’t tihihiihihckle mehehehehehhe!”

Again, no answer, but Yoshida could imagine the glee this particular devil was feeling. A second tentacle appeared, worming its way beneath the back of his armpit, making him arch with a squeal.

“Nohohohoho! Nohohooho noohoohoht thehhhehehere! Gehahhahaha,  stahhahahap thahahahahhat!” Yoshida cried through his laughter, feet stomping helplessly as he struggled to block out the mischievous devil. “Fihihiihne, fihihiihne, I’ll tahahahke a brehehahhahak!”

The tickles stopped. Yoshida doubled over against his desk as the Octopus devil relented, tentacle still wrapped around his waist. In the back of his mind, he swore he could hear the devious bugger laughing at him.

“Eh…ehhehehe…yohoohhou’re truly a dehevil.” He sighed, lightly tapping the limb until the devil retracted, fading out once more. Thank god Denji wasn’t here to witness such an act- his reign of “Ultimate Tickle Monster” would come to an end.

Standing up, he turned to his bed, planning on getting a much needed nap-

And froze.

“No way…” Denji gawked, eyes wide. “You’re ticklish?”

Send me a headcanon and character(s) and I'll write a short 300-500 word dabble for it!

[aliennazero]

If it turns out it was Public Safety and Devil Hunters scope of work that "trains" Yoshida to only use coercive tactics to get what he wants and to basically never ever directly show his desire (thus making him one of their trained dogs), I will never forgive them.

We talk about how Yoshida's action kind of parallel to Makima. But we never talked about the abusive hell of an institution behind them and how it affect both Makima and Yoshida's pattern of behaviour aren't we?

Why? Is it because it's political? So it should stay on the background forever? Or because we underestimate them as a controlling institution because what we have been shown so far is their failure to keep devils at bay? Are we forget how even Makima is scared to those higher ups and about Kishibe's whole motives to gave Nayuta to Denji so she doesn't turns out like Makima?

Abuse is a very terrible act, and I understand why not everyone want to discuss it. In Chainsaw Man however, it's a big part of the story. Denji's early life is full of abuse, Asa got "abused" later on after her family and everything was taken from her, and Makima is implied to be abused in the past by the government in order to "tame" her.

So that's why, I don't want to play blind on Hirofumi. I know we laughed over him. We laughed over his jobs he had failed and been done so far. But damn, are we really ever think about it? How he, a new 17yo recruit, is tasked to protect Chainsaw Man + keep an eye on Famine Devil + prevent the doomsday scenario, all in one and being left alone to handle that? Even his co-worker is hinted to dgaf about him and do not take him seriously, although it looks like a gag.

That's... that's sounds sad, man. It's basically violating child labor law all over again. Yoshida overworked himself and it's very clear. But apparently, because "Devil Hunter" is seen to be "heroic", at the side of humanity, is it suddenly become a good kind of abuse? Of course not!

Yoshida's whole weird and offputting personality makes me wonder about this. His "mature" act actually set my alarms on. He's "wrong", but there's seems to be more motives and more gunpoint behind it. I wonder if this institutional, systematical abuse is going to be very relevant or not to his character in the future.

I'm afraid of this implications, but I think I need to make myself ready for it, to see more of Chainsaw Man government horror if we get any more glimpses of it (that I'm sure will happen sooner or later).
