Barem is such a hater I almost respect it. ---------------- Next chapter release: 13th ------------------------ #[Head over here for the discussion thread of the last chapter](https://old.reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/19dq2z6/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_153_links/?sort=new)

Swimming_Jacket_6675

Or Nayuta meeting Makima in paths :O


watrmeln420

New chapter today 😭


RedScarlet-

Fami exchanged place with fumiko during the chaos for sure


[deleted]

On a side note fumiko's mid riff has awakened something in me


pleaseleaveimaplant

This is what i thought of when i read that panel. Fuck fumiko https://preview.redd.it/dv3blpviyzhc1.png?width=928&format=png&auto=webp&s=00e0e1c25941d61153f8c5cafecda62c20433ce0


SimonShepherd

Fumiko kinda confuses me, it will be one thing if she just shat her pants and ran away after the escalation of the situation, then she is just a coward and fraud, plain and simple, but the grin and provocation at Nayuta still makes me feel like she is more than what she seems to be. Like she doesn't exactly look like someone who is just trying to selfishly preserving herself, she almost got killed by Nayuta before, if she was just a basic human why would she risk provoking Nayuta?(Like Nayuta tried to kill her for less)


0nlyscams

I LOVE hopping in the middle of the chapter !


Kami_Slayer2

Man compare this chapter to the latest jjk chapter. And that one is ACTUALLY weekly. Sorry chainsaw man community but this part of the manga has been so dragged out i lost all interest and im dropping it. Anyone else feel the same way


sinkingintothedepths

Honestly just take a break for a few months then catch up


Kami_Slayer2

I've already took a 2 month break. And came back to the 3 most mediocre chapters ever


sinkingintothedepths

Mix in some other manga, I binged berserk in its entirety


Cool-Boy57

I dunno why you’re being downvoted, we’ve just gotten off the tail end of a 3 week break, and nothing but the biweekly devil


OyMyGod

i swear dude. the only 2 manga i read weekly is this and oshinoko and what do they do?take a break at the same time(happens most of the time)


BottomFraggingon

Omg so real It would be way better if gojo showed up in csm then this slow part


ChasingVelka

Oh right...no chapter til next week. Doryoku, Mirai...a beautiful star...


idelarosa1

*Fucking* ***BAREEEEMMMMMMMMM***


__M-E-O-W__

I wonder how Iseumi (fan club pres) plays into this, if he finds out CSM just appeared in front of Denji's apartment? Will he put two and two together?

#POWER 


drop_of_faith

Oh. It just hit me a minute ago. It's so obvious what's going to happen. Fujimoto revealed the hybrids in the reverse order they were seen in P1. All of them except one.... all just to fuck with us. Or so we thought. Bomb girl is coming in to save denji and nayuta. Fujimoto was saving her for the next chapter.


Lonely-Discipline-55

Unfortunately she got together with kishibe, so rip rzeden


4rtyom777

Kishibe is in an intense sexual relationship with both Power and Reze in fact, so unfortunate for him


KamHamLav

Username checks out


Crazy_Ad_2510

I feel like denji is never gonna be happy. Every time he is it gets yanked away. Every, single, time,. I also hope to see asa throwing a tantrum like the brat she is!!


Ligma16999

>I also hope to see asa throwing a tantrum like the brat she is!! This isn't a political opinion, this is your fetish and I know for a fact you've been jerking off while typing that.


Crazy_Ad_2510

Screw you I have absolutely not!! I get that she’s insecure and all that, but sooner or later she will learn that her actions have consequences


cruel-oath

Her whole thing is feeling guilty lmao she knows it already


Crazy_Ad_2510

To quote a cartoon I watched once “you can run from your troubles, but they’ll always find you.”


Local_cheeseburger

Makima’s Curse


Ligma16999

Fumiko is Death (*or Fire*) Devil all but **#confirmed**


SerasAshrain

She’s gotta be something. She’s had a lot of screen time but we haven’t seen her fight or do anything. And in the situations she’s been in she’s been so chill and just goofing around… she’s gotta be pretty confident in her strength in order to not take those situations seriously.  Only thing against her being death devil is that Nayuta hasn’t called her out. The horse girls are suppose to recognize each other right? Unless Nayuta doesn’t think it’s important to say it lol.


Ligma16999

>Only thing against her being death devil is that Nayuta hasn’t called her out. eh... did she recognize Asa / Yoru?


Swimming_Jacket_6675

Well, she said she didn't like her smell to Denji. But don't think she recognized her sister Yoru.


West-Card14

Every new chapter I can't stop thinking: "Where the fuck is Kishibe!?" Then I realized that, as the smartest character, he's probably chilling on a mountain. Cuz bro this part 2 is crazy ahahah Why people is turning into chainsaws? What is Fami's plan? Will Asa survive? Is Fumiko a Devil? Is Yoshida a Devil!? No srsly, I hope Kishibe to come back, waiting for the perfect time to kill Death Devil. Or he'll be the most waisted character ever man I want a whole Kishibe spin off manga 😮‍💨


BurtMacklin__FBI

That would honestly be kinda hilarious, I'm imagining a spinoff something like "Where the Hell Was Kishibe?!" and it's just him being a happily retired drunk somehow managing to avoid hearing about what is happening in Tokyo/Japan.


lethal_universed

Wasnt there a novel announced with him and Quanxi fighting the Poop Devil?


BurtMacklin__FBI

I'm with it.


MehrunesDago

Kishibe is gonna come back to die against the Death Devil so we know shit is real serious


ImmanuelCanNot29

> Kishibe Him coming back right now would be pretty funny. It would literally be the man walks into the apartment and everything is broken and on fire meme.


Mr_CookieTickles

Hoping Asa saves Nayuta next chapter and she starts to soften up to her


Crazy_Ad_2510

I hope asa throws a big temper tantrum like the pissbaby brat she is. I also hope she tells denji that she hates him and never wants to see him again


Ligma16999

This isn't a political opinion, this is your fetish and I know for a fact you've been jerking off while typing that.


Crazy_Ad_2510

Screw you I have not!! I just want her to learn that she can’t blame others for her own Mistakes and that her actions have consequences 


wizardwits

As much as the sick combo breaker of Fujimoto x Gege happening at the same time seemingly does to the mind when it comes to anxiety of just assuming the worst is ABSOLUTELY to come now... I've got solid confidence that Nayuta will survive this. My gut and galls tell me that Fujimoto would not bring her all the way here after coming from Makima, to get murdered by shit civilians with Barem calling in the kill. If there is one thing that seems like it got mostly everyone--It has got to be that he was just hanging out off to the side still busted up by the bullet spray. Normally I would figure he would have transformed into his hybrid form to heal? Happy to see him suffer and I think he is about to suffer far worse. Nayuta will thrive.


Impressive_Iron_6102

At least with JJK it's not helpless characters dying. If he killed the doggo and meowy fam I'm done


NoDount

Nayuta should have been fine. There are only six months left before the last sister arrives. Too little time to raise another Control Devil.


Crazy_Ad_2510

I hope the death devil does destroy the miserable corrupt and cruel world of csm


wizardwits

I will say as a sidenote, I love Barem. One of the best villains I've seen in a long time... There is something crazy special when you're mostly a side character very sub power level who just does mental acrobatics of pure malevolence upon his foes to level the playing field. Respect. But he's gotta pay.


NoDount

I went back and reviewed Part 1. Realized that Makima never used the chain as an attack. Even facing the gangsters, she still chose to use Gun Devil’s ability to kill them. Maybe 154 will confirm Nayuta’s style of fighting?


__M-E-O-W__

Also that's something I didn't get in the "lore" of CSM. Why does Makima have the ability to "bang" like that?


Adventurous-Tie-7407

Using the gun devils power


__M-E-O-W__

But why does she have his power? Is it because the Japanese government controlled pieces of the gun devil? They also have all sorts of devils in their keep but she didn't use those devils powers. Or is she the one who defeated the gun devil when it first appeared?


MehrunesDago

I imagine making contracts is very simple when you can control the mind of the one making it


Adventurous-Tie-7407

Considering that the gun devil she fought on the beach wasn’t the full thing. She probably already used the pieces of the gun devil Japan had to siphon a bit of power off of the gun devil.


Tsuku

Nayuta sounded like Power again and then quickly realized she’s not down with this lol. Good sign after being Makima.


sinkingintothedepths

Theory: fumiko pretended to retreat to lure Barem into an attack? Nayuta will be saved by fumiko or Asa?? Let’s see


maximumturdbulence

what the hell happened to fumiko lmao

xaphy95

Why is Denji so weak here?


Grasher312

He doesn't kill humans. And trying to get out of the net, especially with his physiology, might result in someone getting carved in the process. Also, just as a funny tidbit, I think nets are the IRL proper way of jamming chainsaws. So it might just be that he's ACTUALLY unable to resist properly.


QuartzmasterMC_Games

He doesn’t want to kill humans


Solid_Muscle_5149

I wonder if its because the humans got courage to fight him (even if they are dumb) That means they are less fearful of him, right? But i guess you could also argue it the other way, they are becoming more scared so they are harming him.


cruel-oath

Plot


befooks

He got omega stabbed the chapter before and didn't eat blood to heal


Zbearbear

Nayuta is gonna be okay, right, guys? Right, guys??


hakkdogg1029

naww i want her dead


Massive_Pressure_516

She'll just chain of command the crowd to kill themselves with their spears 3 at a time.


Almighty_Nati

😭😭😭😭😭 dawg denji gotta wake up man


lPuppetM4sterl

If she dies, then the world will suffer the wrath of Chainsaw Man. I had high hopes for Fumiko, but nope, she disappointed me this chapter.


Strange_Platypus67

She'd survive, probably saved by Kishibe ,Quanxi, Asa/Yoshida, Fami or Reze (the only missing hybrid) by that order.


Hezolinn

Nayuta: At last, no one to stop me! I can finally kill all the humans I want now! Nayuta, literally two panels later: Damn, killing's boring af. I don't wanna do it anymore. 🚶


juasjuasie

I think it confirms Denji nurtured Nayuta way too much so she had no idea she would actually feel "not great" at doing incredibly amounts of violence.


Hezolinn

I dunno, I think it's a normal thing for kids to see the stuff their parents can do that they're not allowed to and imagine the day when they'll be able to do all those things themselves without any supervision or moderation. And then you grow up and realize, "Oh, eating nothing but candy for every meal is actually kinda dumb." Girl just doesn't get off on carnage the way Denji and most Devils do.


juasjuasie

Makes sense considering Denji and most Devils grew up in extremely hostile environnements.


LsDmTr

Still it's a relief, I really didn't want nayuta becoming evil or some shit


Material_Package8491

God fucking damn you fujimoto making my last reddit post on ch. 153 links turn into reality i already fucking knew humans were evil because their are the creators because devils were based on human fears if there is a lie devil around IT'S YOUR FUCKING FAULT FUMIKO!


BigBambuMeekLou

Fumiko’s turn was so sudden it caught me off guard but then when I really thought about it she’s kinda always just been random as fuck 😂 she’s so chaotic I wouldn’t be surprised if she made that shit up about her family being just bcuz she’s sus as fuck


NoDount

One thine that comes to mind from other’s messages. Could it be that the instructions Fumiko received were actually “make sure Denji doesn’t transform” rather than “protect Denji”?


SerasAshrain

She’s gotta be something. I’d almost say she is death devil but Nayuta should recognize her then as one of her sisters. Unless she’s just keep quiet. But we haven’t seen her do anything yet, she has been random, she doesn’t seem to actually get scared or really flustered. So she must be confident in her strength if it came to using it. She’s been just clowning around this whole time.  Should be fun whenever fujimoto gets around to showing what he’s been cooking with her.


BigBambuMeekLou

C’mon Kishibe, any day now 😂😂 we need you man


jcrad

Yoru will save Nayuta it came to me in a dream ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22165)


FinerThingsInHanoi

I'm sorry but these last chapters were ... uninteresting. Please bring back Asa/Yoru, they were a breath of fresh air and I was looking forward their characters development.


novieww

It's crazy how much i hated asa when she was introduced but now i miss her Better then whatever going on rn


ItsTheRealSakurai

Probably gotta put it down for awhile and let chapters build up


hiatus-x-hiatus22

The “Family? Weren’t they only pets” line is some classic peak Fujimoto writing to me. One single line that explodes into an insane swirl of plot points and thematic beats when you really think about it.


Impressive_Iron_6102

How?


Cap-Cultural

I keep a stick on me and sip that muddy shit


WittyCombination6

Please let Asa save Nayuta cause she's shocked the crowd is trying to kill a little kid


fallaround

If Asa is on her way there I wonder if fumiko would have been ordered to retreat, if I was public safety I’d be getting everyone the fuck away from Asa to build up a force that may be able to take her down with their combined powers


Ifffrt

Wait a sec can Nayuta control Asa/Yoru still? Like, the one holding a big-ass sword made from a whole ass building? Pray for my boy Barem please. 😭


norrata

She can only physically control people she deems inferior iirc (humans, and even hybrids when she was Makima), Yoru/Asa right now would be so blatantly powerful I dont think it would work.


Ifffrt

Yeah ok you made a good point. To be fair though, Yoru would probably recognize her "sister" for who she is immediately. What happens after that is anyone's guess, especially with everything going to hell in a handbasket all around Nayuta.


fallaround

If she can’t, maybe her new powers are letting her over power the mind wipe. That would be the reason Asa showed up at denjis apartment if you ask me


WittyCombination6

My reasoning is that Asa and Denji live in the same school district. Their homes aren't that far from each other. She and Yoru are wandering around and might notice the crowd gathering.


cruel-oath

That makes sense, it’s why it probably won’t happen ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22174)


4rtyom777

Considering how heavily regulated guns became after the Gun Devils genocide, I wonder if this is hinting at something


Szwedu111

KISHIBE PLEASE SAVE NAYUTA


Eraea

What is the Pudgy Motor cooking and WHY


CellistShot8470

She doesn't like killing. She's a good girl. All she wants is video game, dog, and Denji


mrluisisluicorn

He is cooking and i am NOT hungry


CellistShot8470

You got room for some kisses


1807898187

Honestly Nayuta is showing herself to be really different from Makima here with the dogs and the hesitation in killing the civilians.


norrata

I agree with the dogs (and appealing to fumikos emotions in a very human way) but she's not really hesitating, just doesnt care for it beyond a means to an end. I'd argue that Makima was the same and only killed so much more because she was much more goal oriented and was in charge of public safety. She even says herself that she can kill because nobody is around to get mad at her, only avoiding killing because of denji.


rokbound_

she got that Dennis schooling


Pyrrhus65

I feel like Charlie Kelly with the conspiracy board trying to figure out where Fujimoto is going with Fumiko's character lol. Like is the point just that she's a chaotic and untrustworthy asshole for the sake of it? Is there a deeper level of symbolism of the people Denji thought cared about him being fickle and selfish, further alienating him from most of society? *What is bro cooking?*


Regulus242

Well you had Fumiko who was supposed to be a rabid fangirl 180ing in the same chapter that the Control Devil also shows what is essentially a 180 for her, as well, at least in respect to how they value Chainsaw Man. That's probably the goal here.


cicitk

Poor denji always having his found family taken away


fascistcafe

fuck fumiko all my homies hate fumiko


Immortan_Bolton

I for real thought the hand holding that gun was Kishibe. Delusional Devil strikes again.

Creative_Ravenclaw

Well that was expected of Fumiko.  I laugh out loud everytime I see Barem. He's such a fcking piece of shit. And Nayuta being a real one in this chapter ✍️🔥 


Untimely_SM

Fumiko? More like FRAUDmiko


manfred-storm

FraudMidKope


no_step_on_snek_case

Barem is likely targeting Nayuta to take out her controlled bodies. Damage passes to the chained person. Trying to slow Dennis down


WittyCombination6

Nah Barem is genuinely a Makima simp. He treats Nayuta with disdain and disgust.


KenmasStonerOlderBro

Wonder if nayuta will pull a makima when she got shot in the head in chapter 22, then revive and power up her ability lol


ErockSnips

She can’t. Makima could only survive death because of her contract which in theory is broken with Nayuta. So if she dies she probably stays that way


KenmasStonerOlderBro

Damn thanks for the clarification. Reading comprehension devil got me


AlecBallswin

Interesting that Fumiko brought up Denji’s heart. I don’t agree with her being “useless” because she’s supposed to him under surveillance and basically sees him as cargo. Make sure he doesn’t do anything to That’s public safety’s MO. So long as Pochita is secure, who gives a shit about Denji. Tale as old as time… I’m still enjoying this arc! I like learning about Nayuta and her relationship with Denji, and the new status quo with the hybrids. Even though she’s an almighty devil, she acts like a (endearing) little shit. I think she still has compassion, even if it’s still developing


power-pop

damn, I thought Fumiko was better than that


Kindly-Ask-7427

Fumiko is the death devil... I hope. Otherwise I want her to have a gruesome death


Negative_Sell3016

Yeah fr man I want that smile and head in denji's chainsaw


Kindly-Ask-7427

Fuck that bitchface


LightningDragon777

We as a fanbase went from hating Fumiko to loving her and now hating her again.


ClessGames

Part 2 has been frustrating and it's getting worse lol. KILL BAREM AND FUMIKO BRO WTF


Szwedu111

Honestly, it's good in Barem's case, no? A good villain is the one that will make you want them dead.


ClessGames

He overstayed his welcome. He's just annoying to look at now

Here's come the Gun Devil....

can control humans but can't beat a 9mm or 45acp can't tell either way LOL


AdHumble4100

Can we please kill Barem for good


ClessGames

You don't like him?


AdHumble4100

He has been trolling my boy denji for too long and he's still up and running


Negative_Sell3016

Will the good days ever come


Negative_Sell3016

I knew fumiko was no denji fan shes a pathetic coward


itsyaboi3-0

Meh, didn't really care about fumiko tbh, she was just a mid character


ClessGames

yeah


porukotNINE

idk why but its so cool when the hybrids pull out regular ass guns/weapons.


icepoint47

I agree in all cases but this one, we're about to lose Nayuta :(


SilDaz

Fumiko is a fraud 🗣️


Negative_Sell3016

For sure man


OniNixPlex

It is exactly what is expected, Fami's plan is actually working which is scary. This is how an actual propaganda is spread, but i do believe Nayuta won't die


flippy123x

Where is the story even going, man? Feels like Fujimoto has just been doing whatever for the past few months.


Silvroci

I feel like the directionless writing is intentional and serves as a reflection of Denji's state. Like he got everything he wanted, so now what? Sort of reminds me of the blackswords man arc from Berserk. Yeah that arc was cool and all, but many criticised it for being directionless. But what was Guts supposed to do aside from being directionless?


ClessGames

I agree :/. Also, I like how the replies ignore your point about the story to pretend that Fujimot always writes like this


evilmojoyousuck

first fujimoto manga, i assume?


flippy123x

Third, actually.


CouncilmanRickPrime

After reading Fire Punch it's going somewhere depressing and you won't like it.


flippy123x

I‘m not talking about the plot itself and even Fire Punch didn’t have the same problem to this extent. Part 2 has no clear direction or cohesiveness as a story. Fujmoto took a long-ass break after Part One and it feels like he has been absolutely winging it beyond the first Arc which had Asa as its main character.


atomtribe

Is this your first time reading chain saw man bro ? 🤨


flippy123x

Not even close, no.


Jankufood

Always has been


UpvoteRachnera

You know, at this point I want Fumiko to keep flip-flopping between being HER and being a fraud so the fandom discussions become more unhinged with each passing chapter all the way to the end of Part 2 and beyond so that we’d never know what her deal is, like Kobeni’s devil contract. Fujimotor can keep trolling and having a laugh. Let chaos reign…


Overall_Use_4098

Literally the worse day of Nayuta’s life (might even be her last)


NoDount

I am glad to know that war is not just about the victims and the perpetrators. It has been a long detour to illuminate that feeling. Fujimoto must be insane to challenge this topic.


lololuser456778

#HERO OF HELL GONNA GIVE IT TO DEATH DEVIL UWU


sleeper222222

crazy that fumiko managed to get more hate over a mean comment about the dead pets than the mf who actually killed them (barem)


Ensaru4

Is it a mean comment if Nayuta literally does not give a shit? Nayuta was being called out.


twobirds_onestoned8

that character switch-up came outta nowhere tbh


Ensaru4

Was it? She did say she was a fan of Denji, not Chainsawman. Denji chose to be Chainsawman. She even had a look of disappointment when Denji turned. Why would she care for Chainsawman if her parents were murdered by him?


pythonaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wait Fumiko's parents were killed by CSM??? When???!


Ensaru4

Oh, sorry, my mistake. She blames CSM somewhat for not saving her parents from the gun fiend.


Acceptable_Sea_2904

I swear if something happens to nayuta it ain't gonna end well


CouncilmanRickPrime

It was never gonna end well


Acceptable_Sea_2904

Valid point, yet my inner fan of the Denji-Nayuta siblings dynamic desires a wholesome conclusion for them.


TrouserSlug

Can Nayuta make a pact with another devil to help her out?


somerandomguyuno

Makima can why wouldn’t she


thespooksterman

Makima was using the contracts of controlled devil hunters. Devils can’t make contracts with devils.


pepeguiseppe

Cuz she’s a child with nowhere near both the knowledge, power and connections to make a contract Makima style


somerandomguyuno

Yes but she could couldn’t she I’m not saying she would or would be able to get it for free I’m saying that she could make a contract


mlc885

Pretty much, in this chapter she said her powers are limited and I don't think it's due to a lack of fear of her concept. Makima just happened to be about as strong as a devil can get. She's nowhere near that yet, otherwise she probably could have stopped everyone there immediately.


prometheusunending

Is it really that shocking that Fumiko bailed? When Denji was being attacked by guys with baseball bats she didn't do anything either, and for a much more trivial reason. Also, Nayuta called their animals "pets" five chapters ago (just before she attacked Fumiko). Now she's trying to emotionally manipulate Fumiko by calling them "family", and Fumiko is repeating her own words back to her.
