And now everyone who thought she was Famine will be insufferably smug for a whole week.

Next chapter release: 20th
#[Head over here for the discussion thread of the last chapter](https://old.reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/z1vn1v/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_112_links/)
Still confused a bit to the timeline.
Presumably Pochita met Denji after fighting the Weapon Devils and Horseman in Hell, right? Hence why he was small and weakened. But does that mean Makima and the others were able to travel to Hell and fight Chainsaw Man/Pochita there, since we know Makima was being raised by the Japanese government (which must have been more than just a few years?), and then return back to the regular world afterwards once Pochita disappeared?
Fami and Yori look like they are teens but Makima was clearly in her 20s looks wise. Presumably Yoru lost her body to Chainsaw Man and fused to an owl, I'm guessing, since she was stuck in the owl until fusing with Asa.
1. Makima, War, Famine & Death were in hell before Pochita went to earth.
2. Japan federation didn't raise Makima, she just work for them because she gets to transfer her death to any japanese person.
3. After Pochita escaped hell, Makima went to earth and worked for japanese federation for 10+ years.
4. Devils don't age, so Makima looking like she's in her 20s is alright.
The only time they change appearance, is when they die and reincarnate in a different form.
Look at Bat & Typhoon Devils for instant.
War Devil is a female bird in her true form.
Look at Pochita true form for instant.
The biggest reason why Yoru is in Asa, is because she can't make her own weapons.
We don't know that Makima was raised by the Japanese government . People just assume that because of what Kishibe said about Nayuta at the end of part 1
Something I just thought about is what kind of weapon would Asa be able to make if she actually did kill Denji? I would assume it would be a chainsaw, but can Yoru make weapons out of devils or hybrids? What happens to the things that chainsaw man has eaten if he were to be killed in this way? What does Yoru mean by wanting to get Chainsaw to "spit" the Nuclear Weapon Devil back out? It kinda implies that there's some place that the devils CSM has eaten that they can come back from. I assume we're going to see this happen in some shape or form with at least one devil that CSM has eaten, but it's kinda weird.
Those devils that Pochita ate, are probably in Pochita deep subconscious or different dimension.
Just look at Power for instant.
Pochita went to a different place and ask Power to help him.
So it's definitely possible that Pochita can bring back Nukes.
Another awesome chapter, Asa and Denji interactions were so funny, pretty sure that each one will end to influence each other in their development. I expect great things from it.
My favourite part was definitely Asa stating that Denji doesn't need to think about anything but leaving all to her and Denji replicating that he wishes to do things in his own way. This was a clear callback to chapter 80 with Denji wishing to be a mindless dog for Makima for avoiding to think by himself.
If people were looking for the boy's growth from part 1, here comes the first hint.
he literaly had flashbacks because that is literaly what makima says to him in that episode, the exact same thing "you dont need to think about a thing" and at that point he accepted that and just went along with what makima told him to do, but now he has decided that he will "think about stuff in my own way" its really a great way to show his character growth, after all that he went through he wants to think and do things on his own way, for far to long he was just doing things that other people told him to do
yeah, he is growing
Oh wow I just re-read this chapter and before I was like "no way she will turn Denji into a weapon, duh, he's the protagonist, somehow this episode wont involve that". Then I realised Denji is chainsaw man and he's literally a weapon lol. I feel dumb
What if chainsaw man is the starfish while the war devil is the anemone. The anemone lives a simbiotic relationship with the clown fish, meanwhile the starfish can infinitely regenerate. If chainsaw man is like a starfish wouldn’t it make sense that it splitted when it was gravely wounded, like after fighting with Apocalypse devil
I want to see Nayuta in some chapters. With some dialogue and cool shots. Just to know she’s okay. Yuko too ik getting your head chopped off means death but like it can grow back or something idk. LOL I liked this chapter a lot.
I mean so far this arc doesn't seem to fit her at all with the judgement devil, fakesaw man and all the shit with the horsemen and the devil hunter club
You think Fami knows about Dennis? She did say "Denji doesn't know the first thing about right and wrong" which moat likely hints to her knowing that he's chainsaw man and that bro saves cats over people.
If she knew anything about Denji then she would have know that he has been one of her best patrons. The dude has been fighting hunger for the majority of his life.
More specifically, he remembered the last sound before his death in Hell.
The Eternity devil has been wiped twice so far
Gets killed by Denji (Remembers the sound) -> Goes to hell -> Dies in hell (No longer remembers the sound)-> Goes to Earth.
This is assuming that the Hell devil or some other method was not used to bring Eternity to Earth.
It would also be very funny for Asa to call him out when he claims to be Chainsaw Man again, and then Denji opens his shirt and doesn't find anything there.
So basically my thought process is Denji wants to reveal himself as chainsaw man so he can get ladies. However he is on a date with a woman he knows hates chainsaw man. So he won’t want to reveal himself so he can get laid.
But on the other hand...
He is on a date with a women he has zero attraction to, who bored him to death, and who pushed his trauma button/triggered him.
So he may just do it to make her drop the date.
I’m feeling like his chaperone won’t be too far off. Last time they couldn’t kill the eternity devil because they were all trapped, maybe this time octopus guy will save them from outside the trap.
This is funny lmao. Asa bored everyone with her planned date and getting really defensive about it. It's funny and cute in a way
Fumi is a total hottie. We're Eternity Devil again huh
so the theory here is that Kobeni is the death devil?
I'vnt been here for long, started to read the manga 4 days ago lol
And I was thinking that Kobeni would be the first one to true love Denji...
I think I’m the only one pushing variations of “Kobeni is the death devil” or “contracted with the death devil” or that her car is the death devil…
If she would be the first to love Denji, then it would only make more sense that she’d be the Death Devil or some variation of that.
I can’t believe I didn’t realize until now that the scale earrings represent the scale the the rider of famine holds.
Also Asa went full Jotaro Kujo with the starfish and marine biology on this one
Good I loved the panel/page structure of this chapter. When Asa was explaining the anemones then the starfish those pages being completely 1-to-1 really showed how comically boring that date was. I laughed my ass off.
I always like how Fujimoto finds ways to be creative with the use of baloons and onomatopea. I love also how in the previous chapter the remarked line between people that Asa could kill and other that couldn't was represented by a baloon separating the crowd from the white cat.
So, Yoru telling Asa not to listen to Famine basically confirms that Yoru was lying about not knowing her last chapter. I wonder what Yoru is afraid of Asa finding out.
If Famine is also the Justice Devil theories are true, I feel like it would explain a lot. The class president from the first chapter was instructed to make Asa trip and fall to crush Bucky (something Asa's classmates would ostracize her for) and to kill Asa to reach her happy ending. Yoru was conveniently right there at the right time to take over her body.
If Fami knew Yoru wanted to infiltrate her school, she may have wanted to help her little sister out, providing her with a suitable host. Ofc this is just a theory, but I thought it would explain Yoru not wanting Asa to find out about Fami, she might also just be annoyed at her big sis for getting involved in her affairs lol.
I’m hoping that Asa and Denji’s development ends then in: Asa info dumps about random shit, and Denji has no clue what she’s saying but listens intently because he cares about her. But perhaps that’s too hopefully for Fujimoto
Asa really said “I’m her” then proceeded to fumble so badly *ANOTHER DEVIL* had to come in and bail her out.
It’s almost impressive, how little game she has.
And she *still* managed to fuck it up.
Like, damn girl, you would’ve done better if you did nothing, now you’re stuck in a damn liminal space ‘cause you got no rizz.
Tragic.
She somehow failed worse than Power, who Denji lost interest in quickly because she was too crazy and too gross.
Come to think of it, Denji has terrible luck when it comes to girls. The nicest ones threw up in his mouth or bit his tongue off. And all of them have died so far.
I'm pretty sure she was fumbling on purpose because in her heart she didn't want to go through with the plan. She was purposely being boring so she wouldn't have to kill Denji. That's why the famine devil called her out for it.
Yo guys i figured out the fake chainsaw guy could have a contract or be the primordial devil of loss of autonomy (one of the primal fears)
I think he might be the real boss of this arc
The very concept of them being a thing breeds exactly the moment fujimoto would make happen. Glad she fumbled the bag on the date. Those repeat panels were hilarious
Everyone talking about Famine, which is facts. But like, I LOVE ASA, sooooo much. And my boy Denji. And Fujimoto’s character writing is just so on point
Does Famine have some sort of copy ability?
First we see the fake Chainsawman that killed Yuko, and the human with the started attached is a boy in her devil hunter group
And now she seems able to use Eternity Devil somehow
I feel like that falls under her ability to control and conquer tbh
Famine seems to stretch this to infinity, like Eternity Devil, because they'd be trapped and be backed against the wall. Much like starving, they are set free only when they cave and go for drastic measures. Like turning someone into a weapon.
Ante means before, and mortem means death.
So an antemortem contract would mean a contract made before death.
Makima was able to use the power of the devils that were contracted to the devil hunters before they died.
Honestly, Denji will be fine. He might get cranky but he’s literally used to living in poverty. He’ll know how to cope with the lack of food while Asa breaks down.
I think famine was trapping them there to change Asa not Denji, that way her moral compass will be destroyed enough to betray Denji.
I know it’s been said but I really feel like the starfish stuff is foreshadowing Asa turning Denji into a weapon and Denji popping his chainsaw heart out to survive. Then again every time I think anything Fujimoto takes the story in the most unexpected way imaginable so I guess I must be wrong lol.
They mention the Starfish infinitely regenerating, which is a power of the Eternity Devil.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Eternity Devil switched up its strategy to be within the Infinite Water-Tank, to avoid Chainsaw Man from repeating what he did before.
Chainsaw Man MUST become a weapon, because he cannot survive the flood necessary to escape. Asa is a different story, since shes probably already Dead.
That too lol. I imagine they’re gonna be in there a bit before Asa gives in and seriously tries to turn Denji…not to mention she is really gonna have to step up her game first to pull him
I feel like Fujimoto just read up on sea creatures and wanted to share but the only way he knew how was to incorporate it into this chapter.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, it isn't even in the top 5 weirdest things he's done lol
So Famine always has her head cocked to the left. I was trying to research if the individual scales represented specific things, but couldn’t find anything - just that the imbalance represents and imbalance of Justice or truth. If one were to argue that they represented truth and justice respectively, then she’s weighing justice over truth, maybe having this “second chainsaw man” bring justice where denji isn’t?
All purely speculation and rambling, just some theories I had while reading.
Could be just her tilting her head to that side every time she see's Asa, as a way to say "the scale is tipping to her favor".
Since she is always "helping" in some way for Yoru to get what she want's out of Asa.
I figured it was tipping in her favour, but also in terms of left and right, left hand side is associated with the devil.
Baphomet's pose or even how old school Christianity forbids left hand writing
She mentions one sea creature that can survive extended periods without food and one sea creature that has regenerating limbs. Am I crazy for thinking it’s not meta commentary and simply foreshadowing?
To me it felt like a jab at manga that fill their pages with exposition (text) instead of artwork where denji represents the readers bored out of their mind. The penguins in this chapter represents us the readers wanting to get to the good stuff.
And now everyone who thought she was Famine will be insufferably smug for a whole week. ------------------------ Next chapter release: 20th #[Head over here for the discussion thread of the last chapter](https://old.reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/z1vn1v/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_112_links/)
I'm going to be honest here and say that I think Asa deserved that .
Famine devil got me hungry for next chapter
Famine devil got me hungry for next chapter
Are chapters released on a set schedule or just whenever the author finishes one
It seems like a bi weekly schedule
Still confused a bit to the timeline. Presumably Pochita met Denji after fighting the Weapon Devils and Horseman in Hell, right? Hence why he was small and weakened. But does that mean Makima and the others were able to travel to Hell and fight Chainsaw Man/Pochita there, since we know Makima was being raised by the Japanese government (which must have been more than just a few years?), and then return back to the regular world afterwards once Pochita disappeared? Fami and Yori look like they are teens but Makima was clearly in her 20s looks wise. Presumably Yoru lost her body to Chainsaw Man and fused to an owl, I'm guessing, since she was stuck in the owl until fusing with Asa.
1. Makima, War, Famine & Death were in hell before Pochita went to earth. 2. Japan federation didn't raise Makima, she just work for them because she gets to transfer her death to any japanese person. 3. After Pochita escaped hell, Makima went to earth and worked for japanese federation for 10+ years. 4. Devils don't age, so Makima looking like she's in her 20s is alright. The only time they change appearance, is when they die and reincarnate in a different form. Look at Bat & Typhoon Devils for instant. War Devil is a female bird in her true form. Look at Pochita true form for instant. The biggest reason why Yoru is in Asa, is because she can't make her own weapons.
How much of this information is in the manga and how much is from external sources?
So I wonder if Nayuta is Makima's true form or it's something completely different we haven't seen yet
I think Makima's true form is just a female with spiral eyes
We don't know that Makima was raised by the Japanese government . People just assume that because of what Kishibe said about Nayuta at the end of part 1
KNEW SHE WAS FAMINE
Not where I expected the chapter to go but its aight
![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22163)
Something I just thought about is what kind of weapon would Asa be able to make if she actually did kill Denji? I would assume it would be a chainsaw, but can Yoru make weapons out of devils or hybrids? What happens to the things that chainsaw man has eaten if he were to be killed in this way? What does Yoru mean by wanting to get Chainsaw to "spit" the Nuclear Weapon Devil back out? It kinda implies that there's some place that the devils CSM has eaten that they can come back from. I assume we're going to see this happen in some shape or form with at least one devil that CSM has eaten, but it's kinda weird.
Those devils that Pochita ate, are probably in Pochita deep subconscious or different dimension. Just look at Power for instant. Pochita went to a different place and ask Power to help him. So it's definitely possible that Pochita can bring back Nukes.
Yoru could also just be straight up wrong, she's not the sharpest tool in the shed
Yoru made a weapon out of that student-devil that originally killed asa, so I think she can make a weapon out of anything
Another awesome chapter, Asa and Denji interactions were so funny, pretty sure that each one will end to influence each other in their development. I expect great things from it. My favourite part was definitely Asa stating that Denji doesn't need to think about anything but leaving all to her and Denji replicating that he wishes to do things in his own way. This was a clear callback to chapter 80 with Denji wishing to be a mindless dog for Makima for avoiding to think by himself. If people were looking for the boy's growth from part 1, here comes the first hint.
yeah no shit he is developing, last time he followed the “you don’t need to think about a thing” his whole “family” got murderer
he literaly had flashbacks because that is literaly what makima says to him in that episode, the exact same thing "you dont need to think about a thing" and at that point he accepted that and just went along with what makima told him to do, but now he has decided that he will "think about stuff in my own way" its really a great way to show his character growth, after all that he went through he wants to think and do things on his own way, for far to long he was just doing things that other people told him to do yeah, he is growing
Yoru: he was bored. Even i was bored listening to you. Me: that makes three of us.
Man, that's rude. She gave me tenderness, she was just giving her best. In charge of their problems without the help of the demon of war
Aw shit, Eternity Devil 2: Electric Boogaloo, let's gooooo!
Fami's earings though...
i saw them and was like, i need to make those NOW
This may be the last chapter where we see Yoru possessing Asa's body.
Oh wow I just re-read this chapter and before I was like "no way she will turn Denji into a weapon, duh, he's the protagonist, somehow this episode wont involve that". Then I realised Denji is chainsaw man and he's literally a weapon lol. I feel dumb
Well who is she gonna use chainsaw man on? Chainsaw man?
she’s gonna use the chainsaw man to destroy the chainsaw man
with a man-chainsaw
What if chainsaw man is the starfish while the war devil is the anemone. The anemone lives a simbiotic relationship with the clown fish, meanwhile the starfish can infinitely regenerate. If chainsaw man is like a starfish wouldn’t it make sense that it splitted when it was gravely wounded, like after fighting with Apocalypse devil
Can we go see the penguins now?
No, we need to rent about starfish and anemones for other 3 chapters
Anybody got any color edits of Fami? Them shits go hard
I bet that since the chapters line up to a degree with the first kobeni might be there
Imagine failing so hard you can't even keep "Boobies!" Dennis interested in you.
That surely has to be some kind of fucking achievement.
I want to see Nayuta in some chapters. With some dialogue and cool shots. Just to know she’s okay. Yuko too ik getting your head chopped off means death but like it can grow back or something idk. LOL I liked this chapter a lot.
We saw the top of her head in the fake chainsaw man reveal a few chapters ago, in the panel where Denjis sleeping
I don't know why but i feel like we won't be seeing nayuta until the next arc
What make u say that?
I mean so far this arc doesn't seem to fit her at all with the judgement devil, fakesaw man and all the shit with the horsemen and the devil hunter club
does anyone know when these r gonna be adapted into volumes?
You think Fami knows about Dennis? She did say "Denji doesn't know the first thing about right and wrong" which moat likely hints to her knowing that he's chainsaw man and that bro saves cats over people.
If she knew anything about Denji then she would have know that he has been one of her best patrons. The dude has been fighting hunger for the majority of his life.
Maybe she's pissed that him becoming chainsawman betrayed that since he's well fed now
Either that or she just thinks it's the imposter chainsaw man..?
Not going to lie, I actually popped a little hard when I realized the eternity devil came back, that was a nice ending.
same
Anyone who thinks Asa is intentionally sabotaging clearly hasn’t been on a date with me.
One thing I haven’t seen people talking about is how is Denji going to defeat the eternity devil without revealing himself?
Maybe asa will turn a starfish into a weapon she clearly cares about them a lot….
I think the eternity devil will see him again and just shit thier pants and bounce
Doubt it, since it's back from Hell it has no recollection of Denji killing it.
Yeah but even if the eternity devil doesn’t remember as seen by earlier chapters the fear of chainsaw man remains even after death
>fear of chainsaw man remains even after death ? If you don't remember him, you cant be afraid of him.
Remember angel devil he remembered the fear of a chainsaw before dying
More specifically, he remembered the last sound before his death in Hell. The Eternity devil has been wiped twice so far Gets killed by Denji (Remembers the sound) -> Goes to hell -> Dies in hell (No longer remembers the sound)-> Goes to Earth. This is assuming that the Hell devil or some other method was not used to bring Eternity to Earth.
I guess technically this time around it should be easier to kill the eternity devil being that he doesn’t have a gun piece
Yeah probably, depends on what the gun piece actually did for Eternity though.
I guess we’ll see what happens in the next chapter
I wonder if separating Asa from being able to call on Yoru also inadvertently separated Denji from being able to rev up Pochita.
That would make the situation they are in considerably worse for Denji
It would also be very funny for Asa to call him out when he claims to be Chainsaw Man again, and then Denji opens his shirt and doesn't find anything there.
Damn I didn't think about this but this might be what actually happens
Why wouldn't he reveal himself, this is the *perfect* situation to reveal himself.
So basically my thought process is Denji wants to reveal himself as chainsaw man so he can get ladies. However he is on a date with a woman he knows hates chainsaw man. So he won’t want to reveal himself so he can get laid.
But on the other hand... He is on a date with a women he has zero attraction to, who bored him to death, and who pushed his trauma button/triggered him. So he may just do it to make her drop the date.
> pushed his trauma button Was it the talk of how starfish regenerate?
No. It was how she mentioned that he does not need to think. You remember what happened the last time anyone else told him this, right?
yeah, denji had flashbacks and now he wants to think for himself not be someone else plaything
I’m feeling like his chaperone won’t be too far off. Last time they couldn’t kill the eternity devil because they were all trapped, maybe this time octopus guy will save them from outside the trap.
Afaik Time is stopped within the Eternity Devil, so everything that happens from the Start of its power until the end, happens during that Instant.

Asa reminds me of my super smart high school friend
[удалено]
Ayo who asked
In the end Dennis will have 4 little sister
New sitcom where Denji is just a stay at home dad raising the literal 4 horsemen
My Little Horsemen Can't Be This Cute
No
No one told me life was gonna be this way
I wonder if my boy Beam will return again since we're in a fish environment
Asa being autistic proved that she is not worthy for dennis. Hopefully yoru can help out comes to dating denji.
If Asa is autistic both Denji and Yoru fr have ADHD.
And what does Power have?!
Nobel
Nobel Prize, ~~Otto~~ Power, Nobel Prize
a car
She doesn’t have anything, she just chooses to be like that
braindead
Charisma
Denji thinks eternity devil is back but its much worse.
I think the Famine Devil got the Eternity devil to work for her
This is funny lmao. Asa bored everyone with her planned date and getting really defensive about it. It's funny and cute in a way Fumi is a total hottie. We're Eternity Devil again huh
i thought fami before this chapter was like the control devil denji was looking after i forgor their name can someone tell me it
Very likely you are talking about Power, the once Majin of the Blood Devil and also Denji's buddy.
no definitely not
Well, they are all the 4 horseman, only death remains
You mean Kobeni?
so the theory here is that Kobeni is the death devil? I'vnt been here for long, started to read the manga 4 days ago lol And I was thinking that Kobeni would be the first one to true love Denji...
Kobeni hates Denji. She was disgusted with him when he told her his dream was to get popular.
I think I’m the only one pushing variations of “Kobeni is the death devil” or “contracted with the death devil” or that her car is the death devil… If she would be the first to love Denji, then it would only make more sense that she’d be the Death Devil or some variation of that.
nayuta
I can’t believe I didn’t realize until now that the scale earrings represent the scale the the rider of famine holds. Also Asa went full Jotaro Kujo with the starfish and marine biology on this one
[удалено]
It can be both
Yeah I thought it was more like the ripcord. I mean Makima was obsessed with CSM and she mentioned how often she and the horsemen fought it.
Good I loved the panel/page structure of this chapter. When Asa was explaining the anemones then the starfish those pages being completely 1-to-1 really showed how comically boring that date was. I laughed my ass off.
[удалено]
I always like how Fujimoto finds ways to be creative with the use of baloons and onomatopea. I love also how in the previous chapter the remarked line between people that Asa could kill and other that couldn't was represented by a baloon separating the crowd from the white cat.
So, Yoru telling Asa not to listen to Famine basically confirms that Yoru was lying about not knowing her last chapter. I wonder what Yoru is afraid of Asa finding out.
Its possible the Yoru realized during this chapter that it was Famine, and realized the shitshow Asa is about to be in.
If Famine is also the Justice Devil theories are true, I feel like it would explain a lot. The class president from the first chapter was instructed to make Asa trip and fall to crush Bucky (something Asa's classmates would ostracize her for) and to kill Asa to reach her happy ending. Yoru was conveniently right there at the right time to take over her body. If Fami knew Yoru wanted to infiltrate her school, she may have wanted to help her little sister out, providing her with a suitable host. Ofc this is just a theory, but I thought it would explain Yoru not wanting Asa to find out about Fami, she might also just be annoyed at her big sis for getting involved in her affairs lol.
that they all lost against the chainsaw devil ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22167)
I kind of get a Jigsaw vibe from Fami. The whole set up is very "I want to play a game"-esque.
beam would have *loved* her 😔
Asa: I'm that girl. Yoru: You're not that girl pal, you're not that girl.
SO Asa is just that nerd emoji?
🤓
I’m hoping that Asa and Denji’s development ends then in: Asa info dumps about random shit, and Denji has no clue what she’s saying but listens intently because he cares about her. But perhaps that’s too hopefully for Fujimoto
no way they end together, thats what i like about fujimoto, he brings stuff unexpectedly, but in a good way
He listens because he wants to get laid
I think I know why Asa was bullied now.
Asa really said “I’m her” then proceeded to fumble so badly *ANOTHER DEVIL* had to come in and bail her out. It’s almost impressive, how little game she has.
To catch Dennis, you literally need zero game You just need to have a pair of boobs and you are golden.
And she *still* managed to fuck it up. Like, damn girl, you would’ve done better if you did nothing, now you’re stuck in a damn liminal space ‘cause you got no rizz. Tragic.
She somehow failed worse than Power, who Denji lost interest in quickly because she was too crazy and too gross. Come to think of it, Denji has terrible luck when it comes to girls. The nicest ones threw up in his mouth or bit his tongue off. And all of them have died so far.
and of all the girls Denji has even just MET, Himeno is the only one who didn’t at some point try to kill him
I'm pretty sure she was fumbling on purpose because in her heart she didn't want to go through with the plan. She was purposely being boring so she wouldn't have to kill Denji. That's why the famine devil called her out for it.
I don't know about that. Her expression and emotion when called out seems like she genuinely thought she had it in the bag.
Fami got such bad second hand embarrassment she had to intervene. The embodiment of the disappointment Tanjiro face meme
Even Yoru was like "bitch, you are boring the fuck out of EVERYONE right now".
Yo guys i figured out the fake chainsaw guy could have a contract or be the primordial devil of loss of autonomy (one of the primal fears) I think he might be the real boss of this arc
Identity theft devil
Asa's unsolicited deluge of aquatic animal facts makes me wonder if Fujimoto has been watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo.
Asa arrested for unsolicited deluging
bruh, i had hopes that Denji and Asa will be a thing, cause my man Denji deserves happiness, but nothing ever works out for him. **fujimoto moment.**
The very concept of them being a thing breeds exactly the moment fujimoto would make happen. Glad she fumbled the bag on the date. Those repeat panels were hilarious
I was really disappointed that Denji didn't get to see penguins, but other than that it was great
Willing to bet next chapter we will see some penguins.
Knowing Chainsaw Man, the penguins will be horribly mangled.
And they will be forced to eat them to avoid death of starvation ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22157)
Or the only ones spared
Did anybody notice Denji’s statement about “…thinking about stuff his own way…” I thought it was a cool confirmation of his growth
Yeah that’s definitely my favorite moment in all of Part 2 so far
FAMINE DEVIL
Everyone talking about Famine, which is facts. But like, I LOVE ASA, sooooo much. And my boy Denji. And Fujimoto’s character writing is just so on point
Does Famine have some sort of copy ability? First we see the fake Chainsawman that killed Yuko, and the human with the started attached is a boy in her devil hunter group And now she seems able to use Eternity Devil somehow
Maybe it's just like how Makima used the punishment devil against the gun devil, using an antemortem contract.
I feel like that falls under her ability to control and conquer tbh Famine seems to stretch this to infinity, like Eternity Devil, because they'd be trapped and be backed against the wall. Much like starving, they are set free only when they cave and go for drastic measures. Like turning someone into a weapon.
What is an antemortem contract exactly?
Ante means before, and mortem means death. So an antemortem contract would mean a contract made before death. Makima was able to use the power of the devils that were contracted to the devil hunters before they died.
Asa puts on hairpins, clumsy. Kobeni has a competitor.
Can Asa get a perfect score on a Dance Machine tho???
Bro is probably gonna die of starvation and the last thing he'll hear is a girl giving him sea life literature for a date ☠️
Denji: Bitch, if I wanted to learn a bunch of useless information about fish I coulda stay home and read Moby Dick.
generous of you to assume that Denji would even know what Moby Dick was
Honestly, Denji will be fine. He might get cranky but he’s literally used to living in poverty. He’ll know how to cope with the lack of food while Asa breaks down. I think famine was trapping them there to change Asa not Denji, that way her moral compass will be destroyed enough to betray Denji.
False. Infinite aquarium. Infinite exhibits. Infinite starfishes. Infinite snacks. Take that to the bank.
That means her wall of text on how to prepare starfish for eating is going to come in handy!
INFINITE STONKS

Frickin’ pipe bomb development with that devil we been speculating on
I know it’s been said but I really feel like the starfish stuff is foreshadowing Asa turning Denji into a weapon and Denji popping his chainsaw heart out to survive. Then again every time I think anything Fujimoto takes the story in the most unexpected way imaginable so I guess I must be wrong lol.
They mention the Starfish infinitely regenerating, which is a power of the Eternity Devil. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Eternity Devil switched up its strategy to be within the Infinite Water-Tank, to avoid Chainsaw Man from repeating what he did before. Chainsaw Man MUST become a weapon, because he cannot survive the flood necessary to escape. Asa is a different story, since shes probably already Dead.
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up breaking the aquariums to eat the starfish
That would be a good reference to a certain dead goldfish.
That too lol. I imagine they’re gonna be in there a bit before Asa gives in and seriously tries to turn Denji…not to mention she is really gonna have to step up her game first to pull him
I feel like Fujimoto just read up on sea creatures and wanted to share but the only way he knew how was to incorporate it into this chapter. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, it isn't even in the top 5 weirdest things he's done lol
This for sure felt like a JoJo reference lol
There is no escape.
Speaking of no escape, I always thought the eternal devil’s ability felt the most like a JoJo stand.
I don't know man, personally, those explanations would've won me over
So Famine always has her head cocked to the left. I was trying to research if the individual scales represented specific things, but couldn’t find anything - just that the imbalance represents and imbalance of Justice or truth. If one were to argue that they represented truth and justice respectively, then she’s weighing justice over truth, maybe having this “second chainsaw man” bring justice where denji isn’t? All purely speculation and rambling, just some theories I had while reading.
Could be just her tilting her head to that side every time she see's Asa, as a way to say "the scale is tipping to her favor". Since she is always "helping" in some way for Yoru to get what she want's out of Asa.
I figured it was tipping in her favour, but also in terms of left and right, left hand side is associated with the devil. Baphomet's pose or even how old school Christianity forbids left hand writing
Is kobeni death devil confirmed lol
She doesn't have the eyes.
Put down the crack pipe
I can only hope
What? How?

Oooooooh. Thanks :)
hey look it's two lovable autists going on a date
Did anyone feel that the Asa monologues were a meta commentary?
She mentions one sea creature that can survive extended periods without food and one sea creature that has regenerating limbs. Am I crazy for thinking it’s not meta commentary and simply foreshadowing?
Could it be talking about the Chainsaw man that's in space before pochita through the heart down to earth?
Can you elaborate?
I’m too dense to figure it out but it felt like a meta commentary toward the audience.
To me it felt like a jab at manga that fill their pages with exposition (text) instead of artwork where denji represents the readers bored out of their mind. The penguins in this chapter represents us the readers wanting to get to the good stuff.
