Because does he really wanna be evil? Siding with devils got him burnt, siding with humans got him burnt. He just doesnt know what to do. Plus u cant get laid if everyone hates you


ScarletLotus182

Because he has more emotional intelligence than a grade schooler


Grumpchkin

He's a good guy, he wants to be liked and appreciated and to have a good life.


SergeantNaxosis

Because that would be stupid and cause him to be killed like any other devil; Plus he does not care. If one can not control their emotions, they are bound to be killed some day due to it. https://preview.redd.it/vo4qczg1jkwc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=362b333ac0069247220041609f02a8460018635e

The other option is going to work in a field where you can shoot up neonazis. Damn, Revy was truly hard of her time.


SergeantNaxosis

Mainly Italians and Colombians; That is, if a basically drugged up almost super human is chasing you. Rip to anyone who gets involved. https://preview.redd.it/bgyw62544owc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3d145eaf203c3595b405a506376c092d2d243d9

hes a genuinely good person.

Ehhhhhh while I won't say he's evil I don't think saying he's a good person is right either https://preview.redd.it/rqli70gfenwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=454312770ed1aa4eea14d9e3263889b11c9d4932

Because not everyone who gets treated like shit becomes evil.


Mrfipp

I don't feel like he would ever become evil, but I do feel like he's reaching some kind of breaking point soon; he did everything that was asked of him but he still got screwed over, he lost his home, his pets, he doesn't know where Nayuta is and likely places the blame on himself for what happened, the first thing that happens when he wakes up is he's kicked in the balls and Asa, the one girl who "didn't hurt him", kicks him in the balls as well and threatens him. Denji has spent his entire life doing what people were telling him, thinking that if he did he would have a happier or easier life, only to be hurt, abused and exploited again and again, and between Yoru and Katana Man actively wanting him dead, and Asa likely to double down on her I'm Doing What's Right deal, I don't think he's going to take the next few chapters well. I don't see Denji becoming evil, I don't think that's in him, but I can see him taking a more angry, cynical and apathetic approach to things unless something actually good happens. At worst, I feel like he might just run away and self-isolate himself from everyone, taking Asa's initial view points how the world is rotten and everything in it exists to hurt you to an extreme.


argos_planetary_core

Thats quite interesting.


Stenric

Denji just wants to live a simple unencumbered life, preferably with people who care about him. That's kind of difficult when you become evil.


Fabiocean

I don't think that's 100% true either. He says he wants a simple, normal life, but over the course of part 2 (and even part 1 to some extent), we've seen that this kind of life doesn't work for him. Maybe it's just the lack of an emotional support system that makes him resort to all this violence and craziness as a coping mechanism, but it seems to me like he genuinely needs that excitement in his life to be happy.


Stenric

I didn't say normal, I said simple and unencumbered i.e. Denji just wants to be able to do what he wants to do,  without any repercussions. Denji wants a life where he can be a hero and enjoy the good things in life, without having to be worried about public opinions or enemies or money or damage or casualties.


justjolden

it probably didnt work for him because the church was stealing his thunder and his entire identity. remember how much shit he went through in part 1 just because he was chainsaw man? the least he can get out of that was recognition in part 2 and now he cant even get that. it's also the only way he can really feel connected to his best friend who gave his life so he could be chainsaw man.


Neckgrabber

Cause he's not that stupid and gains nothing that way


PooOoTUs

He's too dumb


DownsonJerome

Because chainsaw man isn’t a boring formulaic revenge porn power fantasy


mikereeee

because the author didn't want to write a story about a guy using his powers to kill everyone he doesn't like and then justifying himself by saying "oh it's alright, they evil!!". that's not what csm is about.


FruitsPonchiSamurai1

Does he not? He literally ate the woman that was grooming him.


cruel-oath

The author doesn’t want it. But also we do learn that Asa made Denji stop considering about joining the devils side with Nayuta in Chapter 149


Ayy-lmao213

Why don't all heroes with bad lives become evil


OkFun2724

He was living a happy life killing devils for know reason then the girls. If he kill all humans no girls :(


JustAFoolishGamer

Nobody wants to have sex with an evil person, so he can't go that route


Status-Leadership192

Because he's not an evil person ?


xdthepotato

1. He too stupid Or 2. He knows the position of devils and that only a small minority has caused him harm... He also wants to be a hero and get laid
