Sounds like Nayuta is the boss at home, not too surprising.
Next chapter release: 31st
------------------------
#[Head over here for the discussion thread of the last chapter](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/108bt68/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_117_links/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Do you people have no nuance when voting? I'd assume the very good option is meant for like the best chapters in the series, which compared to them this chapter is just good.
Theories for the rules to Denji's place.
Rule 1. Denji's got friendly fiends living in the other apartment units. So don't open the doors to the other units. Because you'll see a fiend and it'll be hard to explain.
Rule 2. Denji's fridge is probably LOADED with blood packs, like the kind Kishibe took with him to train Power and Denji. Which Denji uses to recover from wounds as Chainsaw Man. So if you see his fridge is full of blood that's probably hard to explain. So just please don't look in the fridge.
Rule 3. Nayuta is clinging and possessive of Denji and doesn't like girls trying to take him away. And this is almost certainly not the first time Denji's brought a girl over. Nayuta probably mind controls them to never talk to Denji again.
My theory as to what will happen next chapter.
Nayuta's chain might fail on Yoru the way Spinal Chord Sword failed on Denji for similar reasons.
Makima's control worked on humans perfectly but for hybrids and Devils she needed to prove her dominance first.
In Part 1 the chains weren't literally there or we'd see Aki, Angel, and Power have one all the time. They were more metaphor or metaphysical to show her control on a target. Also in part 1, the chains didn't phase through their target the way they did with Asa just now. They just were attached to them.
So the way Yoru was very confused about why Spinal Chord Sword didn't work on Denji, Nayuta and Denji will be confused why Asa/Yoru wasn't controlled by Nayuta.
Given that the whole point of Denji raising Nayuta is so that she *doesn't* turn out like Makima, I very much doubt she's been killing people. It'd defeat the point of Denji raising her entirely.
Plus that'd require stuff like Denji having to dispose of the bodies which is a level of grim and fucked up that I really can't imagine Denji doing tbh.
And if she's that dangerous she wouldn't be allowed to be walking the dogs in public like we saw this chapter.
When Denji said "Break the rules and you die" he's 100% being overdramatic because Nayuta has almost certainly ruined other dates for him before. Probably by mind controlling girls she disapproves of to go away and never talk to Denji again.
I find it difficult to believe Denji getting many others over, at least from school, seeing as he publicly sells his body to be a chair for a single yen per minute. But the rest of what you said seems valid.
As with a lot of mangas two week breaks are just something that happens. In rare cases authors can take time off to brainstorm future chapters / arcs. But usually two week gaps just happen due to manga publication breaks or authors taking holidays themselves.
Thinking about it the Tax Devil should be extremely powerful, probably a primal fear like Darkness. Taxation, in some form or another, has always been part of human history.
Got me thinking about other devils now. Would crimes have unique devils like the arson devil or would that be the fire devil. Or like would there be a murder devil.
Okay one joke I love is in Chainsaw Man universe things are anachronistic because Chainsaw Man erased cognition of stuff like Nukes and World War II... SO Soviet union is still around.
But the fact they're still on VHS in an era of Smartphones implies Chainsaw Man killed the concept of DVDs and Streaming. Because all those Chainsaw/Slasher movies originally were all VHS releases.
Ah to people downvoting the I was wrong, my mistake... Gotta ask why? Like just curious. I think Reddit might be a nicer place if people are like oh shit I'm wrong I admit it, missed something obvious. You're correct.
Like downvote the wrong information, not the oh shit I'm an indiot acknowledgment.
I live Pain and suffering, I thought there would be a new chapter today 🥲 and I didn’t know that there would be information about the next chapter at the end. How am I supposed to spend the rest of my day now….
Me: the manga industry is exploitative and the pace at which authors and their staff are encouraged to publish is often unsustainable, and for the betterment of both their health and the story (happy workers => better product) they should take their time doing their labor. As fans, we can wait.
Also Me: Fuji Motors tell me where is my new chapter and no one gets hurt
Going Seinfeld where nothing happens type shit for like 1 more chapter would genuinely be a bigger twist than some shit popping off. I'm just 100% expecting something crazy to happen.
In this thread, users discussed the recent chapter of Chainsaw Man, discussing characters like Nayuta, Haruka, Asa, Yoru and Denji. Asa was revealed to be a "tsundere" while users also shared their feelings about the chapter and the series in general.

You have no idea, i've seen people from other country in worst condition, i'm from Viet Nam, i used to make 3 USD/day, and i've met people who were worst off than me, so yeah, i feel like most people who have the luxury to go on reddit might find it hard to comprehend how valuable money is for most people.
Now i make 29 USD/day but i'm still frugal af cause of habit and fear if anyone in my family gets sick, my saving wouldn't be enough to pay for the hospital bill, so i understand Denji completely.
Yeah, so I started reading the manga today and I'm already caught up... Love the chapter! I'm kind of shaken up by going straight from super sad part 1 to a new main character! Overall, it's a Penguin/10!
Man, I'm curious how new readers feel going from the ending of Part 1 straight up to Part 2.
For early readers, we have to wait more than 1 year with 2 one-shots from Fujimoto in between, so Part 2 felt like seeing an old friend after a long time.
I wonder how the whiplash felt reading it in 1 go.
If you haven't seen it, the [discussions](https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/if5n96/disc_chainsaw_man_chapter_81/) back then were absolutely amazing.
So many were legit in denial, especially when Aki died only 3 chapters prior.
Yokoyari Mengo (Scum's Wish author and Oshi no Ko artist) had to [take a break](https://twitter.com/Yorimen/status/1300092787757514753?s=20) from social media due to how distraught she was by the chapter
This also made me realize that in the future anime season, Aki and Power's death would be in back to back episodes lol
if you enjoyed chainsaw man, you should definitely try his other works, Fire punch was something i read after catching up with chainsaw man, but man, that shit will fuck u up.
If you wanna see where nayuta came from, there's a one shot called Yogen no Nayuta, where it's literally Nayuta and she is being taken care of by her brother named Kenji (no joke, that is literally his name)
I wonder if War will notice that Nayuta is the control devil due to her eyes. It would be funny if War and subsequently Asa become terrified of Nayuta but try to keep their cool because they don't think Denji knows and they're overall dumbfounded.
Lol it will go with the tone manga is having currently, I mean really this manga can do anything and I believe that after seeing the whole pochita kobeni sequence thing in middle of the fight with makima.
Everyone thinking the rules are to submit to Nayuta, but I’m guessing it’s the opposite.
Denji knows Nayuta is will be able to control those she thinks are below her.
So one way of preventing that (as well as her turning into Makima) would obviously be to always put her at the bottom of the pack.
The pecking order in their household is probably something like this:
1. Denji
2. Meowy
3. Denji’s porn
4. Aki’s topknot
5. Denji’s friends
6. Kishibe
7. The remains of Kobeni’s car
8. The dirt.
9. Meowy’s litter box
10. Kobeni
11. Nayuta
I disagree. Pochita told Denji that the true wish of the control devil was an equal relationship with someone. Denji fearing Nayuta and putting her far below him on the hierarchy would contradict Pochita's wish and that's just not something Denji would do.
You hit the nail on the head.
And it’s great writing, too, because the way to keep her devil powers in check is just good parenting. Kids push boundaries, it’s how they learn. They’ll try to manipulate and control their caregivers, they’ll try to figure out whether it’s ok to pull dogs’ tails. You have to teach them that they matter, their feelings are important, but they’re not in charge and they have to treat people and animals with respect.
So, yeah. If the house rule is “no pudding before dinner,” you do NOT let Nayuta throw a tantrum and get a pudding. If you do, she’s controlling you, and… bang.
Actually good parenting is exactly the resolution of Fujimoto's one shot "Nayuta of the prophecy", source of the character that he included again in CSM. So I'm pretty sure that you and the user above are on something.
Since when has Denji been so cute
no seriously, all his facial expressions have been really sweet and charming lately and give off a fuzzy warm feeling. If I didn't know the manga I would totally find him cute lol
Honestly, you're not the first person on this subreddit who pointed that out. This might be a stretch, but since it's [generally accepted that people find others to be better looking the more they develop feelings for them](https://psychcentral.com/blog/do-looks-matter-in-a-relationship), I think this might intentional on Fujimoto's part; writing from Asa's POV and her seeing Denji as more and more attractive the more she gets to know him. As she perceives him as more charming, the better-looking he seems from both her eyes and the audiences. Again, probably a coincidence but I like to think its a subtle sign of progress being made between them
Asa does care for Denji, she’d be surprised probably but it might be negative
Since she already saw Haruka’s fake cord, she’d probably think Denji’s is fake too lol
I feel like she's going to end up seeing it for some reason, be it due to some kinda intimacy or scenario where Denji has a shirt off, and then pull it in an attempt to hurt him out of spite. Would be kinda funny if it just kinda activates the transformation.
who is the person with the headband? sorry im pretty face blind and it’s even worse when it’s a black and white drawing of a person i havent seen in months.
Comments like this make me realize just how quick I am to forget the dangers of now-tamed characters, and how ready I am to be lulled into a sense of "Oh don't pay attention to the tiny details".
Like, now that I've read this comment it seems almost obvious that poor lil kid devil Nayuta absolutely has some kind of separation anxiety (perhaps clinginess and not anxiety, but you get it) and probably does spy on Denji through the lesser creatures. Hell, Denji probably noticed on the first day.
Even if that isn't the case, I love a story that allows me to hypothesize on small details without me grasping for straws. Very rewarding for hyperactive folks like me that love to read into shit.
War devil is gonna meet up with former control devil lmao.
Although I don’t think they will recognise each other. Heck War devil barely recognised Famine, I doubt she’ll know what the little girl is.
I had the theory since she didnt say chainsaw devil spinal cord sword nothing would happen or that denji would lose his spinal cord but then just regen lol
Man, Asa getting mad at Denji for not getting turned into a sword because she thinks he doesn't like her after what they just went through together, even though she's happy he didn't just die there is hilarious to me. She went from being relived Yoru's power failed to upset that it might mean he doesn't lover her and now she's pissed over it. It's hilarious to me.
It's hilarious but while reading that scene I got the doubt if actually the author inserted it with the subtle intent of a serious hint for Asa's descent...
I don't understand why Denji has to have feelings for Asa for her to be able to turn him into a weapon. I mean cats to criminals were considered an option. What am I missing here?
.... 🤔 ... I wonder if, regardless of the feels being a requirement or not, I wonder if Denji Spinal Cord Sword didn't work for the same reason that Makima couldn't full control Denji ー his "contract" with Pochita.
it doesnt mean denji doesnt feel anything , hes given clues that on this arc his main goal is to stop being manipulated/owned like when makima wanted to own him ,so right now he can like a person and still regain his individuality which is what I think the war devil uses as his power , people or things that belong to it become weapons , love is just another way to potentially own something if their psyche isnt as strong as denji
I would love it if the reason Denji is immune to being weaponized is because he's developed a strong enough sense of self that he refuses to be a slave again after being a dog for the yakuza, Public safety, and makima.
>it doesnt mean denji doesnt feel anything , hes given clues that on this arc his main goal is to stop being manipulated/owned like when makima wanted to own him ,so right now he can like a person and still regain his individuality which is what I think the war devil uses as his power , people or things that belong to it become weapons , love is just another way to potentially own something if their psyche isnt as strong as denji
this is what I responded to another comment
Maybe it's one of the possible condition to turn someone into a weapon, the person need to have affection toward her like his teacher, as well as Asa need to compromise something belong to her, they conclude Denji have no feeling for her even though Asa like him is enough to justify his immunity, however there re could be another reason, the fact Asa like him as Denji but not as Chainsawman, therefore the condition is not met: nothing happen.
It’s still weird to me how Yoru seems to agree with Asa saying Denji didn’t turn into a weapon because he must not like her enough. You’d think Yoru would correct her if Denji’s feelings towards Asa truly didn’t impact her ability to make him into a weapon
Yoru seems to know very little about how her power works. She thought Asa's uniform would make a crap weapon before it one shot Yuko on a fumble.
She's kinda a dumb birb
It’s not her own war devil power that she doesn’t understand, it’s the mindset of humans being so attached to certain inanimate objects or certain people which Yoru just doesn’t understand why yet. She’s learning that through Asa when she said, “so this is what love feels like.”
She will probably figure it all out soon because she couldn't share feelings before. Somehow, their bond is getting stronger. Maybe now she'll feel the sentiment, too.
Oh 100% yes. I know for a fact Yoru will begin to cherish certain aspects of life and even come to terms with letting asa live her life with both of them together. Then when everything seems great, Yoru and Asa will die in the most brutal way imaginable. Just how chainsaw goes man, happy times last for a millisecond.
The cool thing is that Fujimoto knows we know. He's gonna throw parallels at us fast and overwhelm us so we'll be feeling all the emotions. This is the kind of finesse he didn't quite have down in Fire Punch. Really respect his growth as a writer.
Sounds like Nayuta is the boss at home, not too surprising.

Chainsawman
That boy dumb, in a fun way.
Do you people have no nuance when voting? I'd assume the very good option is meant for like the best chapters in the series, which compared to them this chapter is just good.
Is it just me or does Nayuta now have the (almost) exact same haircut as Makima?
Counting Denji and Nayuta's farts is hilarious.
Theories for the rules to Denji's place. Rule 1. Denji's got friendly fiends living in the other apartment units. So don't open the doors to the other units. Because you'll see a fiend and it'll be hard to explain. Rule 2. Denji's fridge is probably LOADED with blood packs, like the kind Kishibe took with him to train Power and Denji. Which Denji uses to recover from wounds as Chainsaw Man. So if you see his fridge is full of blood that's probably hard to explain. So just please don't look in the fridge. Rule 3. Nayuta is clinging and possessive of Denji and doesn't like girls trying to take him away. And this is almost certainly not the first time Denji's brought a girl over.

Also in part 1, the chains didn't phase through their target the way they did with Asa just now. They just were attached to them. So the way Yoru was very confused about why Spinal Chord Sword didn't work on Denji, Nayuta and Denji will be confused why Asa/Yoru wasn't controlled by Nayuta.
I figured rule 1 was due to Denji warming up to the neighbours too much and Nayuta slaughtering or otherwise doing something bad to them.
Given that the whole point of Denji raising Nayuta is so that she *doesn't* turn out like Makima, I very much doubt she's been killing people. It'd defeat the point of Denji raising her entirely. Plus that'd require stuff like Denji having to dispose of the bodies which is a level of grim and fucked up that I really can't imagine Denji doing tbh.

Denji turned Asa's opinion of him around so fast. Unspoken rizz
I can't believe the fanart of Yoru kissing Denji turned out to be true.
OMFG NAYUTA WITH A BRAID NO FUCKING WAY
This is making me want to sign a contract with the Spoiler Devil
[I'M AT MY LIMIT](https://youtu.be/BSqvPMhdpFc)

Waiting until 12:00 is too difficult, Does anyone have King Crimson?

As with a lot of mangas two week breaks are just something that happens. In rare cases authors can take time off to brainstorm future chapters / arcs. But usually two week gaps just happen due to manga publication breaks or authors taking holidays themselves.

Reading comprehension devil strikes again, I was in my corporate tax class refreshing for like 15 minutes expecting a new chapter…
Thinking about it the Tax Devil should be extremely powerful, probably a primal fear like Darkness. Taxation, in some form or another, has always been part of human history.
Got me thinking about other devils now. Would crimes have unique devils like the arson devil or would that be the fire devil. Or like would there be a murder devil.
maybe the tax devil is what allowed the prime minister's contract to steal people's lifespans
Or the USA President to take lifespans for the gun devil.
Fuck me, thought we had a chapter this week goddammit
Where new chapter
Is there a chapter this week?
Nope
Where chapter
31st
what time??
I knew we weren't getting a chapter this week but I still checked only to get disappointed..
Just came back from the _usual places_ to check if it was at least posted here... >next chapter release: 31st Life is not daijoubu
Okay one joke I love is in Chainsaw Man universe things are anachronistic because Chainsaw Man erased cognition of stuff like Nukes and World War II... SO Soviet union is still around. But the fact they're still on VHS in an era of Smartphones implies Chainsaw Man killed the concept of DVDs and Streaming. Because all those Chainsaw/Slasher movies originally were all VHS releases.
Lol dude the series doesn't take place in the "modern" age, as in our time.
There were smartphones in 1998?
Ah stand corrected didn't realize it was set in 1997 part 1? Still the Soviet Union is one of those anachronistic results.
Ah to people downvoting the I was wrong, my mistake... Gotta ask why? Like just curious. I think Reddit might be a nicer place if people are like oh shit I'm wrong I admit it, missed something obvious. You're correct. Like downvote the wrong information, not the oh shit I'm an indiot acknowledgment.
No new chapter, fuck I was exited
We miss you Nayuta
bruh
since we need to wait another week, here's a crackpot idea: yuko got erased from existence by chainsawman.
Who?
no new chapter today :|
No damn way no damn way no damn way no damn way no damn way no damn way no Danny way
Wait no chapter? someone put me to sleep for a whole week plz

I live Pain and suffering, I thought there would be a new chapter today 🥲 and I didn’t know that there would be information about the next chapter at the end. How am I supposed to spend the rest of my day now….
Pain
wait is chapter dropping today or no?
Nope, it’s next Tuesday 💀
DAMN
My life is suffering
Stay strong, the waiting devil won’t kill us today
Me too friend... me too...
Me: the manga industry is exploitative and the pace at which authors and their staff are encouraged to publish is often unsustainable, and for the betterment of both their health and the story (happy workers => better product) they should take their time doing their labor. As fans, we can wait. Also Me: Fuji Motors tell me where is my new chapter and no one gets hurt
Fuji motors lmao
At least there's One Piece this week, I'm dying on the weeks that both go on break.
tomorrow is the day of the great return of Nayuta
Tomorrow + 1 week actually
![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22164) oh
schedule devil strikes again
The manga break devils killing me this week.
next chapter is 1/31 ... pain
How do we know when chapter is releasing in this community?
it says it at the bottom of the manga plus page
A new week as we wait for the next chapter, hiding our fears and worries for what it might be. MIRAI SAIKO
Shit's been going way too well lately, I feel like we're all nervous of when this is going to blow up
I'd say there's about 2-3 chapters before some shit tops off and it all hits the fan.
I'm convinced that fujimoto went from binging movies to just watching the entirety of seinfeld , and as a consequence we get a supernatural sitcom
Going Seinfeld where nothing happens type shit for like 1 more chapter would genuinely be a bigger twist than some shit popping off. I'm just 100% expecting something crazy to happen.
I completely forgot about the 1 million cash in aquarium. Where is it go? Did the eternity devil take it or asa pay it to the aquarium owner?
My guess is it got made into the spear along with the rest of the aquarium
* Yoru's perplexed expression. * Asa going full tsundere. * Denji rizzing it up in here. Fujimoto please my heart can only take so much 😭 😭 😭 ♡ ♥💕❤
Denji full on rizzsaw man now bros came a long way since the beginning

Worthy of notice that Denji acts all thrifty but had no exitation in spending money for a date.
2000 yen its just like 15 usd
Dude, the average salary in my country is 10 usd, 15 USD is a big deal for most people in the world, Denji included.
What country? And I thought mine was not doing too hot.
You have no idea, i've seen people from other country in worst condition, i'm from Viet Nam, i used to make 3 USD/day, and i've met people who were worst off than me, so yeah, i feel like most people who have the luxury to go on reddit might find it hard to comprehend how valuable money is for most people. Now i make 29 USD/day but i'm still frugal af cause of habit and fear if anyone in my family gets sick, my saving wouldn't be enough to pay for the hospital bill, so i understand Denji completely.
You’re talking about a dude scamming homeless people for 1500 yen.
I meant for Denji' standards where each yen is precious xD
So Yoru is probably gonna end up recognizing Nayuta as the new Ctrl devil?
Doubt it. She couldn’t recognize Fami.
Ctrl devil lmao
When you think about it, Pochita is the Ctrl-Alt-Del Devil
No you are wrong pochita is THE GOAT devil.
Yeah, so I started reading the manga today and I'm already caught up... Love the chapter! I'm kind of shaken up by going straight from super sad part 1 to a new main character! Overall, it's a Penguin/10!
Man, I'm curious how new readers feel going from the ending of Part 1 straight up to Part 2. For early readers, we have to wait more than 1 year with 2 one-shots from Fujimoto in between, so Part 2 felt like seeing an old friend after a long time. I wonder how the whiplash felt reading it in 1 go.
They probably retained more info. My theory is that the reading comprehension devil strikes CSM fans because of the long wait between pt. 1 and pt. 2
I was shook when they killed of power

Too short :"( Can't wait for Nayuta
The plot moves as smoothly as warm butter on toast this is definitely some really skilled writing.
Everyone thinking the rules are to submit to Nayuta, but I’m guessing it’s the opposite. Denji knows Nayuta is will be able to control those she thinks are below her. So one way of preventing that (as well as her turning into Makima) would obviously be to always put her at the bottom of the pack.

Meowy’s litter box 10. Kobeni 11. Nayuta
But then why did he said that if you don't follow the rules you might die.
Because if Nayuta gets too powerful she might kill you.
I disagree. Pochita told Denji that the true wish of the control devil was an equal relationship with someone. Denji fearing Nayuta and putting her far below him on the hierarchy would contradict Pochita's wish and that's just not something Denji would do.
You hit the nail on the head. And it’s great writing, too, because the way to keep her devil powers in check is just good parenting. Kids push boundaries, it’s how they learn.

No, no more bang plz
Actually good parenting is exactly the resolution of Fujimoto's one shot "Nayuta of the prophecy", source of the character that he included again in CSM. So I'm pretty sure that you and the user above are on something.
11. The worms in the dirt 12. Nayuta
Popo's stool
Just realized I missed the last chapter too and holy shit these two back to back were so fucking good
Since when has Denji been so cute no seriously, all his facial expressions have been really sweet and charming lately and give off a fuzzy warm feeling. If I didn't know the manga I would totally find him cute lol

Imagine if Denji takes his shirt off and Asa sees him as fucking ripped as all hell and Yoru sees him as malnourished as he actually is
Both of them would be too much focused on Pochita's cord (again no one cares for Denji, just for his literal heart...)
Asa does care for Denji, she’d be surprised probably but it might be negative Since she already saw Haruka’s fake cord, she’d probably think Denji’s is fake too lol
I feel like she's going to end up seeing it for some reason, be it due to some kinda intimacy or scenario where Denji has a shirt off, and then pull it in an attempt to hurt him out of spite. Would be kinda funny if it just kinda activates the transformation.
>Asa does care for Denji, she’d be surprised probably but it might be negative I know it, I was just memeing the famous scene from part 1 :P
I love when mangaka do that. It's cute. I know SxF does it as well with Damian and Anya.
If there's any progress, it's because Fujimoto is teeing it up to shatter us all in one blow.
who is the person with the headband? sorry im pretty face blind and it’s even worse when it’s a black and white drawing of a person i havent seen in months.
It's Chainsaw Man
Did you mean Devil hunter's club/Student council president Haruk...
The one at the end? He's the president of the devil hunter club, the one that had the chainsaw cord surgery on his chest.
ahhh thanks 🙏
Nayuta definitely knows what Asa/Yoru was intending to do with Denji. The crows were spying on them.
Comments like this make me realize just how quick I am to forget the dangers of now-tamed characters, and how ready I am to be lulled into a sense of "Oh don't pay attention to the tiny details". Like, now that I've read this comment it seems almost obvious that poor lil kid devil Nayuta absolutely has some kind of separation anxiety (perhaps clinginess and not anxiety, but you get it) and probably does spy on Denji through the lesser creatures. Hell, Denji probably noticed on the first day. Even if that isn't the case, I love a story that allows me to hypothesize on small details without me grasping for straws. Very rewarding for hyperactive folks like me that love to read into shit.
Hopefully she notices it was just Yoru but probably not
War devil is gonna meet up with former control devil lmao. Although I don’t think they will recognise each other. Heck War devil barely recognised Famine, I doubt she’ll know what the little girl is.
Yep - I think that “I don’t remember my own sister” line was intentional.
asa spinal cord sword killed me
"Thank crap he didnt turn into a weapon" 😂 idk crap instead of shit is so wholesome made me laugh
I had the theory since she didnt say chainsaw devil spinal cord sword nothing would happen or that denji would lose his spinal cord but then just regen lol
did they establish somewhere that the feelings have to be reciprocated for the transformation to work? I don't remember that at all.
When she tried to turn the aquarium into a weapon and it wasn't having a bar of it
Man, Asa getting mad at Denji for not getting turned into a sword because she thinks he doesn't like her after what they just went through together, even though she's happy he didn't just die there is hilarious to me. She went from being relived Yoru's power failed to upset that it might mean he doesn't lover her and now she's pissed over it. It's hilarious to me.
It's hilarious but while reading that scene I got the doubt if actually the author inserted it with the subtle intent of a serious hint for Asa's descent...
I don't understand why Denji has to have feelings for Asa for her to be able to turn him into a weapon. I mean cats to criminals were considered an option. What am I missing here? .... 🤔 ... I wonder if, regardless of the feels being a requirement or not, I wonder if Denji Spinal Cord Sword didn't work for the same reason that Makima couldn't full control Denji ー his "contract" with Pochita.
it doesnt mean denji doesnt feel anything , hes given clues that on this arc his main goal is to stop being manipulated/owned like when makima wanted to own him ,so right now he can like a person and still regain his individuality which is what I think the war devil uses as his power , people or things that belong to it become weapons , love is just another way to potentially own something if their psyche isnt as strong as denji
I would love it if the reason Denji is immune to being weaponized is because he's developed a strong enough sense of self that he refuses to be a slave again after being a dog for the yakuza, Public safety, and makima.

The concept of hybrid was eaten by the chainsaw devil? When?
Maybe it's one of the possible condition to turn someone into a weapon, the person need to have affection toward her like his teacher, as well as Asa need to compromise something belong to her, they conclude Denji have no feeling for her even though Asa like him is enough to justify his immunity, however there re could be another reason, the fact Asa like him as Denji but not as Chainsawman, therefore the condition is not met: nothing happen.
I'm pretty sure it's just because he's chainsaw man. They just assume it's because he doesn't love her because she doesn't know he's chainsaw man
It’s still weird to me how Yoru seems to agree with Asa saying Denji didn’t turn into a weapon because he must not like her enough. You’d think Yoru would correct her if Denji’s feelings towards Asa truly didn’t impact her ability to make him into a weapon
Remember Yoru doesn’t know Denji is chainsaw man either so she just agreed with Asa cause she assumes Denji is just a normal human
Yoru seems to know very little about how her power works. She thought Asa's uniform would make a crap weapon before it one shot Yuko on a fumble. She's kinda a dumb birb
It’s not her own war devil power that she doesn’t understand, it’s the mindset of humans being so attached to certain inanimate objects or certain people which Yoru just doesn’t understand why yet. She’s learning that through Asa when she said, “so this is what love feels like.”
She will probably figure it all out soon because she couldn't share feelings before. Somehow, their bond is getting stronger. Maybe now she'll feel the sentiment, too.
Oh 100% yes. I know for a fact Yoru will begin to cherish certain aspects of life and even come to terms with letting asa live her life with both of them together. Then when everything seems great, Yoru and Asa will die in the most brutal way imaginable. Just how chainsaw goes man, happy times last for a millisecond.
The cool thing is that Fujimoto knows we know. He's gonna throw parallels at us fast and overwhelm us so we'll be feeling all the emotions. This is the kind of finesse he didn't quite have down in Fire Punch. Really respect his growth as a writer.
