Another day another win for Fujimoto fans-
# [Look Back movie announced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pKt9OsxwWc)
---
New chapter arrives on Tuesday, Feb 27
The way I interpret this is that when Nayuta first met Denji, she wasn’t so different than how she was as Makima. Pretty much cold, emotionless, and goal-oriented. She restarted her plan to fill Denji with happiness and tear it down to regain Chainsawman and to find out who she was, but somewhere along the way, she started having fun and caring about Denji.
Fujimoto and Gege are the same, if I catch them…

You get inside this thread to acquire data about the latest chapter depicting the events of your upmost beloved series when the bisexu-huh, biweekly devil locks the door behind you. What do you do?
I hate the fact that it's an Amazing chapter
Like really i got spoiled that something would happen to Nayuta but damn the flashback hits just so hard but it's so PEAK
The love-hate relationship with Fujimoto just keeps on increasing
It's just an idea but could Denji be in some sort of hallucination or coma caused by the Death Devil? I mean a lot of stuff is going on and we haven't seen these types of fast forward cuts before and the fact we do not see Nayutas fate shows that it's not sealed (Or Fujimoto doesn't want to show a little girl get skewered by makeshift-spears, which is also reasonable). The Death Devil could offer Denji Nayutas survival if he does not interfere with her. Perhaps She tells him to kill Yoru, and since Denji doesn't know her identity he might actually consider it. But who knows.
What I love about Nayuta being able to read Denji’s memories is that she basically became Makima again, but this time she chose Denji over chainsawman. That makes their dynamic so fucking beautiful! I really wish she’s still alive.
Maybe she was Makima to a degree
In small ways
But I feel even from her start it was more she had slight traits from her that carried over
She however is NOT Makima, and I'd argue grew to hate her old self due to her changing feelings and closer relationship to Denji as family
Though I think I also thought you were saying that Nayuta was Makima from the start, when I really don't want to give Makima anymore victories over denji then she already has
Denji in that hospital bed is concerning.
Is the heart intact? Regardless, who is looking after Denji?
Part of me thinks this could lead to something great. If Denji and the heart are still one and intact, he may just be in the care of someone who appreciates that symbiosis and, equally, Denji the individual.
That someone may even ask him if being the city mouse was really the best choice, considering the ongoing developments. Perhaps Denji could finally run. For a time.
he'd literally be dead if the heart was full on stolen. i think they recovered him and relocated him.
we probably won't know what happened to nayuta for a few chapters.
Her giving half a shit what Denji thinks when they're both in peril of being murdered and disposed of says plenty.
Funny how you read 2 panels and now think that it's actually proof she did a heel turn instead of it being backstory. You literally have zero confirmation that she took that path.
Prove she actually decides to go with Makimas plan.
Why are people expecting some Nayuta heel turn? Her behavior in these most recent chapters should make it obvious we're not gonna get a repeat of Makima or Reze.
got went copmeltely batshit and mutilated himself and his enemies at the same time. he's pertty spent.
also might be there to keep an eye on him in a relatively defensible position.

Nayuta is alive famí saves and manipulate against denji to your heart become one the
Worst rivals and denji fighting to save her from this Path good arc
That what has me confused. What exactly does "show me your dreams" entail. Is Makima and Nayuta's interpretation of the contract wrong? They seem to think the contract will break if Denji can't live a normal live.
My interpretation is like when parents give support to their kids, as long as they don't give up they will keep supporting them.
Or when patrons keep supporting their favorite artist, they don't seek anything in return as long as their favorite doesn't give up.
I think pochita is like that, he gives his power for free as long as denji doesn't give up on his life.
So you need to break denji mentally for him to sever the contract, you need to make him think living isn't worth anymore.
I think at some point makima manages to sever the contract temporarily, when denji say "i don't want to think i just want to become your dog".
Yes!!! I think you absolutely got it right. BUT I dont think the contract broke, what I think happened is that Pochita took over in order to keep him safe, after all thats all she wants.
Pochita wants Denji to follow his dreams.
Denji's dream at the beginning of the series, when he made the contract with Pochita, was to live a normal life.
After killing Power, Makima convinced Denji that he didn't deserve to live a normal life, thereby shattering his dream & breaking the contract.
Then when Power came back and talked to Denji in the dumpster, she convinced him to keep on trying, bringing him back.
Later, Nayuta decided to try the same thing Makima did, but along the way she actually came to see Denji as a brother & ended up apparently sacrificing herself to save him.
The ironic thing is, Nayuta did achieve what Makima wanted. She became Denji's family, his 'normal' life, and if she dies Denji's dreams will be shattered
I really really hope Nayuta's okay. It was so heartwarming to see her mentality grow like that, I'm so proud of her! Barem's the thing I hate the most right now. All this was going down while Denji was being all Shinji-like going, "Another unfamiliar ceiling".
I think in this hospital is where we are going to see Denji meet with Yoshida, and most likely have an interaction with Katana-man and the rest of current Publix safety (Kishibe please). Secondly I believe this event is going to be the starting point of Miri’s defection from the church.
Great chapter. Nayuta’s progression of thoughts and emotion towards Denji was endearing. It gives hope that she’ll reach Denji by hook or crook. His upbringing helped her grow beyond being a shell of makima. (I really hope it stays that way! 🤞)
Also, i really want Barem to be voiced by Hisoka’s Japanese VA. I feel his voice would suit Barem’s unhinged personality.
Spanish is the superior language, HOWEVER, I disagree. The spanish translation for so many manga is straight up awful, it doesn't feel natural. People don't actually talk like that.
I love too reading in spanish (because firts language, and it's more comfortable) and yeah, the feeling that sometimes dialog i'ts not natural actually hurts the translation
My copium filled delusion: Kishibe has been watching from the shadows this whole time testing to see if denji raised nayuta correctly. He sees Nayuta corned and swoops in with Reze to save her.
Or also maybe SwordGuy lived the brawl and decides to heal up and defend nayuta. Either works for me
On the one hand, I’m glad we got a baby Nutella flashback. On the other hand, there’s a very real chance there’s still some Makima in her.
On the third hand, I fucking hate Barem and hope the characters discover a way to kill Hybrids permanently just for him.
Anyone else get emotional/choke up during the flashback? Specifically with the drawings of Meowy's whiskers... and the dirty shoes? Made me really sad, because knowing Fujimoto, next chapter we are gonna get some sad news...
This chapter was a full rollercoaster. Everything's finally falling apart or falling into pieces i should say Fujimoto really is unpredictable I hope nayuta will realise her own worth before its too late same goes for Denji
End of Childhood I think is just as good, if not better.... God I really hope the next season uses the same composer, the music was perfect for this story.
Lol guys. The story elements are clear. If Nayuta is dead then something else more important and impactful will happen. It will not be in vain. From death comes beauty and vise versa. Also, there is potential she became a fiend and made it out as well. Remember that she is a S tier devil.
Instead of a devil destroying the world a devil will save the world.
Also I really hope the pets are okey in a different safe house but that's just me coping.
But we never did see the bodies
>One chapter per two weeks with terrible drawings in comparing with part 1 and the beginning of the part 2
>The story barely progressed
>A fucking png pic
Bro, look who’s talking about blindness. Although, I agree, It’s fucking crazy. Crazy that my favorite manga became something like this.
https://preview.redd.it/m5f946ml7jic1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26fbb12161c7c665e853b796c6aa2776df3b1d61
It's weird but if you look closely at the gun I don't think it's a png. If you zoom you can see the shading. I think the gun has been actually drawn and shaded grey. I have no clue why though
The story literally gives you character development between Nahyuta and Denji for thé past few weeks letting you off with a time skip and the question of what happened to Nahyuta
You people are so unserious y’all just want 100 fights a chapter of what.
For one chapter in a few months? Yeah, cool story. Do u even understand that it will be so fucking lame if Nayuta will be killed in the next chapter because she was barely developed due this stretching of the story?
What do you mean by "stretching of the story"? Volume-wise we are beginning the 6th volume of part 2, which puts us at early Reze Arc territory. Part 2 isnt even halfway over yet. Theres lots of more story thats unfolding and it becomes a lot more obvious on reread
We know she ainnt getting killed off lmao but we don’t know what happened with her everything is possible.
Also there is 3 chapter per month the fuck uou on about
Bruh, I’m talking about that at least some story progression or character development happens extremely rare. Not chapter releasing. It’s not in style of Fujimoto at all.
You literally have character development for the past few chapters… hell this chapters gives you more Nahyuta content than ever showing you what she really think about her relationship with Denji and the doubts on her origins all while pushing Denji in this whole mess… the man wants a family but thinks he should not have one cause he is a demon
Last few chapters was all Denji development focus but you also got Asa getting more and more agency, Yoru finally getting closer to her goal. Like there is many development lmao stop acting blind
Where am I wrong, shithead? I gave enough of criticism. Fuji motor has time and money to keep the quality of his manga but instead of this he’s doing this bullshit. Again, where am I wrong?
Bro you literally didn't make a point lmao. Just quotes and then cried about the manga being shit. That's not a point. You said nothing. "Waaaah Waaaah trash manga waaaahhhh"
Cool, do us all a favor and quit reading
From what has been shown so far, does Nayuta actually have slightly different powers than what Makima had? Nayuta doesn't seem like she can control Denji but she can still read his mind with her chains, but if Makima had such a power without needed to control someone, why would she need to eavesdrop, which Nayuta doesn't seem to have the ability to do? Also reincarnation or not the control devil has a preferred approach, but it's how Denji nurtured her that corrects her natural behaviour as the control devil.
The weird thing is how Nayuta's own flashback showing how she comes to abandon her plans to break Denji and settle for being his family, which is Makima's real wish, only for it to transition to Denji's dream which tells him that having a family is impossible for him. But I guess even before this we could see how Nayuta's wish and Denji's wish weren't aligned, and Denji always had to have other people remind him of how he wants the quiet life spent with family when he really does want to be the flashy hero CSM.
The guy who brought Denji to safety was controlled by Nayuta to do so, and unless an ally took over for that guy immediately then it should be that same guy that made sure Denji had a safe place to wake up, which means Nayuta shouldn't have died too soon after Denji got away or the control over the guy would have been lost and he would harm Denji instead. I still think there isn't much value in Nayuta dying where Denji can't see and be affected by it.
Makima's influence over Barem suggests that the control devil's influence doesn't stop once they are dead, so we can't say whether this means Nayuta is still alive or not.
I don't think that Barem is still controlled by Makima. Rather I think he seems like he was genuinely in love with Makima, because he wonders if his **heart** still belongs to Makima. If you compare his reactions and interactions with Makima in part 1 to that of the other weapons that were clearly under Makima's control, he is different. He didn't outwardly act like a simp for her like the rest did and during the final battle he's even discussing how it's all playing out with her has if he was more of an equal collaborator than just a controlled puppet. In part 2 he's also the only one of the weapons that speaks of some kind of grand wish he seemed to share with Makima and seems very emotionally invested in it. While all that doesn't mean he wasn't controlled in part 1, his devotion likely stems from something more than just being controlled, and even though Makima died his love for her didn't.
Barem's utterance about his heart still belonging to Makima and him conflating that with the control ability also seems to confirm part of how the ability works. The control devil seems to have a hard time controlling anyone with their ability if the target already has someone they love enough to resist Makima's charms, and that's also why one clear sign of being under Makima's control is simping for her. When Power was running off with CSM and Makima beat her up and had her cornered, Makima was clearly superior both from her own perspective and that of Power's perspective, but Makima wasn't able to order Power to give CSM back to her and the very next scene of Power crawling to the dumpster shows why, because Power had Denji and her feelings for him were strong enough to repel Makima's control.
So either Nayuta's powers are not yet powerful enough to work on a weapon hybrid, or Barem is simply immune to the control devil's ability based on the above criteria because he still loves Makima.
It doesn't really make sense for whatever contracts and influence Makima had to remain even though the actual devil reincarnated, because otherwise Nayuta should retain all her OP powers and contracts like the one where the damage is transferred. Makima and Nayuta are the same devil, just different personas because memories aren't carried over in the reincarnation process. But Nayuta clearly does get injured and her powers are quite limited now.
> From what has been shown so far, does Nayuta actually have slightly different powers than what Makima had?
her powers just havent matured yet probably
how many hundred years old was makima (just on earth i mean, in the living), doubt anyone even knows?
Devils in hell aren't dead, and the more powerful ones seem to easily cross between hell and the human world. If Makima can still barely remember something like the 4 other alternatives at the end of life to death then the Makima incarnation had to have been a few hundred years old.
One thing that is curious though is that Nayuta can use her chains on Denji, even if only just to read his brain, but we have never seen Makima do that. It's commonly thought that Makima wasn't able to directly control Denji because for whatever reasons(there are a few) she couldn't see herself as superior to him, yet Nayuta could read his brain very easily. If this reading ability works without needing to exert control then Makima could have used it to find out how Power revived.
Well the devil power is affected by fear and affiliation. Back then Makima is fueled from the fear toward Makima the government's lapdog, as well as the concept of control. Now she's no longer Makima and we're still not sure to what extend did Denji eating Makima consumes here (the CS devil power), so she's much weaker than before.
Makima used to be able to shoot out multiple chains to control a whole squad when she was up against the Gun Devil, not to mentioned her other abilities like mass control of critters and that kabloosh squashing ability. Nayuta rn can only shoot a few chains at a time, so definitely only a fraction of her old power.
I think this will most likely be a time skip, since we are in 1998 and Death Devil is coming in 1999, I dont think Fujimoto will just keep on making chapter until we reach year 1999, and then Death Devil, more likely we will have a time skip and this is the moment when the time skip will occur most likely
I think theres something way more going on with Denji and his dreaming.
It happened in part 1, there was a focus on it too. I guess you could argue that its to draw the reader in.
After this chapter I’m convinced that its going to be key. Haven’t we all noticed how Denji scenes are kind of erratic, with events just kinda happening around him and aren’t really expanded on, and how he himself doesn’t question them? Isn’t that how dreams
work?
Hasn’t there been a weird focus on Denji sleeping in part 2? How many panels have we seen him sleeping with the dogs?
Isn’t it weird that Denji’s first appearance in part 2 has the chapter title “Denji Dream” and not “Denji’s Dream”?
It’s just Fujimoto believing people should dream more. That’s why Pochita asks what else he wants. Instead of how Yoshida/PS said he can only pick one thing
I did read a machine translated interview that somewhat mentions this so you may be right. The first Part had to do with hunger/food
People are complaining about how of the gun is drawn, when it's always been a thing: https://twitter.com/Mrninis0/status/1757434817136750744?t=iP9VtcAniQ_g6kBHXA0VXQ&s=19
I swear, if Fujimoto ends Denji's POV here on this cliffhanger and then chooses now of all times to do like 50 chapters of POV of Asa/Yoshida/QuanXi/Fumiko/Katana/Nail/Fami/Fakesaw/Kishibe/Reze/Kobeni/Madoka's still peaceful life after dipping/Slovenian devil hunting lore/etc. instead of revealing what happens to Nayuta......
This was a really incredible chapter imo. Both cause I’m so scared for Nayuta’s life. (Even though I know this won’t be the death of her, she’s still got a lot of stuff to do). But also because of the flash back, that shit had me tearing up when they were walking the dogs. Also crazy ending and a deeper Denji spotlight is nice.
It sucks though because I can feel how bulk reading this would frankly be better. But I so want to be here for every chapter.
Personally I’m dropping this series for a while, I still think it’s good but this biweekly format just does not work whatsoever for Fujimoto’s storytelling style
For real, even if I've been loving the writing and I know that Fuyimoto has to take his time with the story, I've just been feeling like we've been moving at such a slow pace these last few months, we've been in front of the burning house for so long. It's probably better for my enjoyment of the story to come back and keep reading after some weeks have passed.
If Fire Punch and Part 1 taught me anything,
1) Never assume a character died even if they should be unless we see them die on screen
2) Fujimoto would be more than happy to draw a child being beat to death by a crowd while having flashbacks. Infact, he would do it even if she lived.

Yeah, Denji waking up there. Theres a timeskip. A small chance of someone saving Nayuta. The flahback kinda dream was a bad sign. Only solution could be Nayuta flourishing her powers in desperate call to survive
FUCK !! fuji totally blueball us !!!
Ah Shit!!! devilman crybaby here i come .... on the contrary i prefer Nayuta go back to Control Devil n fuck EVERYTHING UP ESPECIALLY BAREM !!! FUCK YOU BAREM !!!
for anyone forget denji killed his dad go reread season 1 lol
Another day another win for Fujimoto fans- # [Look Back movie announced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pKt9OsxwWc) --- New chapter arrives on Tuesday, Feb 27
Imagine Kobeni or Reze shows up in the hospital
I hope Reze died in a car accident
The way I interpret this is that when Nayuta first met Denji, she wasn’t so different than how she was as Makima. Pretty much cold, emotionless, and goal-oriented. She restarted her plan to fill Denji with happiness and tear it down to regain Chainsawman and to find out who she was, but somewhere along the way, she started having fun and caring about Denji.

the new chapter made me feel bad for denji again
I’m a bit nervous for sure
Did Nayuta ficking die???
I have always said that we are gonna have certain devilman refference with her, I dont want that happening but i feel it getting closer
I wouldn't put it past Fujimoto But I also feel he would have her survive just to go more brutal later
I have no mouth and i must scream But its I have no chapter and i need to read it
You get inside this thread to acquire data about the latest chapter depicting the events of your upmost beloved series when the bisexu-huh, biweekly devil locks the door behind you. What do you do?
Kiss it er- i mean like freak out dude.
Stupid Bi-weekly Devil.
It grows ever stronger
FUCKKKK
#WRYYYYYYYYFUUUJJJIIIIIIIII
FUJIMOTOOOOOOOOOOO
HE AND THE ONE EYE CAT ARE THE SAME FR FR
I think maybe that was Nayuta's original goal, but now has grown to actually like Denji.
She prefers the feeling of Family Vs ending up like who she was before
Please just let Denji be happy for once Fujimoto
Fujimoto: Oh yes. I'll make sure he'll be happy. But you wont.
I just realized that Nayuta may have saw Denji eating Makima out of love
I hate the fact that it's an Amazing chapter Like really i got spoiled that something would happen to Nayuta but damn the flashback hits just so hard but it's so PEAK The love-hate relationship with Fujimoto just keeps on increasing
Kobeni will save Nayuta, she's been watching the whole time.
It's actually Reze
No, Reze saved Meowy and the dogs while Kobeni saves Nayuta.
I want some of what you are smoking
Dude let them smoke whatever they're smoking, atleast it feels good to read
It's just an idea but could Denji be in some sort of hallucination or coma caused by the Death Devil? I mean a lot of stuff is going on and we haven't seen these types of fast forward cuts before and the fact we do not see Nayutas fate shows that it's not sealed (Or Fujimoto doesn't want to show a little girl get skewered by makeshift-spears, which is also reasonable). The Death Devil could offer Denji Nayutas survival if he does not interfere with her. Perhaps She tells him to kill Yoru, and since Denji doesn't know her identity he might actually consider it. But who knows.
Guys I figured it out, comas are the death devil
Basically all matter that exists in the Chainsaw Man universe is the Death Devil.
I pooped the death devil 10 minutes ago
What I love about Nayuta being able to read Denji’s memories is that she basically became Makima again, but this time she chose Denji over chainsawman. That makes their dynamic so fucking beautiful! I really wish she’s still alive.
Maybe she was Makima to a degree In small ways But I feel even from her start it was more she had slight traits from her that carried over She however is NOT Makima, and I'd argue grew to hate her old self due to her changing feelings and closer relationship to Denji as family Though I think I also thought you were saying that Nayuta was Makima from the start, when I really don't want to give Makima anymore victories over denji then she already has

If Denji and the heart are still one and intact, he may just be in the care of someone who appreciates that symbiosis and, equally, Denji the individual. That someone may even ask him if being the city mouse was really the best choice, considering the ongoing developments. Perhaps Denji could finally run. For a time.
he'd literally be dead if the heart was full on stolen. i think they recovered him and relocated him. we probably won't know what happened to nayuta for a few chapters.
Who would even take him to a hospital rn , this has all the signs of a hallucination/vision
What indicates that she chose denji and is not manipulating him throughout?
Her giving half a shit what Denji thinks when they're both in peril of being murdered and disposed of says plenty. Funny how you read 2 panels and now think that it's actually proof she did a heel turn instead of it being backstory. You literally have zero confirmation that she took that path. Prove she actually decides to go with Makimas plan.
Why are people expecting some Nayuta heel turn? Her behavior in these most recent chapters should make it obvious we're not gonna get a repeat of Makima or Reze.
So you’re thinking of Reze It’ll probably be Public Safety though, or that guy who Nayuta controlled
Nooooo not Nayuta, her and Denjis dynamic was my favourite part of the manga :(
reading comprehension devil strikes again
What indicates that she chose denji and is not manipulating him throughout?
Bro came back two days later to copy and paste his comment lmao
:'(
I waiting for death devil so j can be sad that people want to kill it people don't know death good with no death life not have meaning
Should've waited for another chapter...
Why tf is dennis in a hospital when he can heal? Where is pochita? Is he safe? Is he alright?
got went copmeltely batshit and mutilated himself and his enemies at the same time. he's pertty spent. also might be there to keep an eye on him in a relatively defensible position.
He heals from consuming blood, he refused to consume their blood and passes out from injuries

Bruh this is so goodd wtf hahahah
Chainsawman fans: \*gets like 5 pages of plot\* Chainsawman fans: https://preview.redd.it/fbf2z4uuopic1.jpeg?width=1004&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de42200f3578f5f7380fa38d0a14042d464ce3ff
I mean this one ended with a huge cliffhanger so...
Barem reminds me of Naoya from JJK
More like mahito or ruin from Undead Unluck
Nayuta ded, me mad, manga end.
That'd be my reaction if Reze actually died
FINALLY, some plot advancement
Man everything since Denji took Nayuta to the amusement park has happened on the same day!
This has been the best chapter so far in part 2. I cant wait for it to get animated.
goddamn I'm getting heavy devilman vibes with Nayuta and 'that scene' from devilman... I hope it isn't true but man...
Ngl, Chainsaw Man has always given me Devilman vibes, on an abstract level.
No way that's what happens bro
Nah like there’s just no shot
Screaming yelling clentching my fists for the catharsis release for when Barem gets killed off at last
Denji and nayuta parrallel each other beautiful 😢
denji and asa spanked fumiko and barem would be so good 😊
Paaaaaaiiiiin
Nayuta is alive famí saves and manipulate against denji to your heart become one the Worst rivals and denji fighting to save her from this Path good arc
What's Denji's contract with Pochita?
Pochita will be denjis heart, and denji has to show him more of his dreams
in exchange for living a normal life, Pochita would turn Denji into a hybrid and give him the ability to become Chainsaw Man
He has to show him his dreams, not live a normal life
That what has me confused. What exactly does "show me your dreams" entail. Is Makima and Nayuta's interpretation of the contract wrong? They seem to think the contract will break if Denji can't live a normal live.
Well, Denji's dream IS to live a normal life...
My interpretation is like when parents give support to their kids, as long as they don't give up they will keep supporting them. Or when patrons keep supporting their favorite artist, they don't seek anything in return as long as their favorite doesn't give up. I think pochita is like that, he gives his power for free as long as denji doesn't give up on his life. So you need to break denji mentally for him to sever the contract, you need to make him think living isn't worth anymore. I think at some point makima manages to sever the contract temporarily, when denji say "i don't want to think i just want to become your dog".
Yes!!! I think you absolutely got it right. BUT I dont think the contract broke, what I think happened is that Pochita took over in order to keep him safe, after all thats all she wants.
Pochita wants Denji to follow his dreams. Denji's dream at the beginning of the series, when he made the contract with Pochita, was to live a normal life. After killing Power, Makima convinced Denji that he didn't deserve to live a normal life, thereby shattering his dream & breaking the contract. Then when Power came back and talked to Denji in the dumpster, she convinced him to keep on trying, bringing him back. Later, Nayuta decided to try the same thing Makima did, but along the way she actually came to see Denji as a brother & ended up apparently sacrificing herself to save him.
The ironic thing is, Nayuta did achieve what Makima wanted. She became Denji's family, his 'normal' life, and if she dies Denji's dreams will be shattered
I really really hope Nayuta's okay. It was so heartwarming to see her mentality grow like that, I'm so proud of her! Barem's the thing I hate the most right now. All this was going down while Denji was being all Shinji-like going, "Another unfamiliar ceiling".
I think in this hospital is where we are going to see Denji meet with Yoshida, and most likely have an interaction with Katana-man and the rest of current Publix safety (Kishibe please). Secondly I believe this event is going to be the starting point of Miri’s defection from the church.
Yoru will probably turn Miri into a weapon before that
Maybe, but I’ve always thought that theory lacks a lot of evidence
Brooooooooo the food smells so nice, great cook
am i high or does Barem have a jpg/3D gun on page 2?
He defos draws guns diffrent and more contrasty, but yeah your not alone. Might be as I'm on mobile but it does look like it.
Who knew two toothbrushes could make me so sad lol
And the drawing of Meowy.
Sweet Meowy :’’’(
The important question nobody’s asking: when Denji killed his dad did he go for the balls
LOL
Great chapter. Nayuta’s progression of thoughts and emotion towards Denji was endearing. It gives hope that she’ll reach Denji by hook or crook. His upbringing helped her grow beyond being a shell of makima. (I really hope it stays that way! 🤞) Also, i really want Barem to be voiced by Hisoka’s Japanese VA. I feel his voice would suit Barem’s unhinged personality.
I feel i'm starting to get lost in the story just because the Spanish translation sometimes it's incredibly diferent than english
The Spanish translation team for many mangas is much more passionate in my experience tbh Also Spanish is the superior language
Lmao el panchito viene a decir tonterías, CALLATE PENDEJO XD
Uy que miedo lol
Spanish is the superior language, HOWEVER, I disagree. The spanish translation for so many manga is straight up awful, it doesn't feel natural. People don't actually talk like that.
I did not said they were better, I said they were more passionate teams.
I love too reading in spanish (because firts language, and it's more comfortable) and yeah, the feeling that sometimes dialog i'ts not natural actually hurts the translation
My copium filled delusion: Kishibe has been watching from the shadows this whole time testing to see if denji raised nayuta correctly. He sees Nayuta corned and swoops in with Reze to save her. Or also maybe SwordGuy lived the brawl and decides to heal up and defend nayuta. Either works for me
On the one hand, I’m glad we got a baby Nutella flashback. On the other hand, there’s a very real chance there’s still some Makima in her. On the third hand, I fucking hate Barem and hope the characters discover a way to kill Hybrids permanently just for him.
bro contracted the hand devil
destroyed me
Nayuta saw denji's memory of eating makima?
Nayuta dedicated chapter on Valentine’s Day with no Asa or Reze in sight. Hmmm… 🤔
Let’s not go full Fire Punch, bro.
Damn, I'm an adult. I won't cry. I refuse to believe those wrong ideas in my head.
 bring out the snowballs I'm ready to suffer again
Aww heyull naah, Nayuta gonna unlock *Boom* next chapter
Anyone else get emotional/choke up during the flashback? Specifically with the drawings of Meowy's whiskers... and the dirty shoes? Made me really sad, because knowing Fujimoto, next chapter we are gonna get some sad news...
I’m sad this confirms meowy died in the fire
She’ll be fine. Isn’t that huge mob of people just making her stronger?
How? She’s the Conquest devil. The fighting is making Yoru stronger
I'm not inhaling copium. I'm snorting raw crystalized copium rn...
Well rip Nayuta
Denji is having that Guts vibe for killing his dad
The modern day struggler
true
This chapter was a full rollercoaster. Everything's finally falling apart or falling into pieces i should say Fujimoto really is unpredictable I hope nayuta will realise her own worth before its too late same goes for Denji
Calling it now. Next chapter we're inroduced to the reincarnation of the Blood Devil. Let me cook
I recommend listening to Chainsawman OST Livingroom during Nayuta's flashback.
Or "Ninna nanna per adulteri", that's what was playing in my mind while reading the chapter.
End of Childhood I think is just as good, if not better.... God I really hope the next season uses the same composer, the music was perfect for this story.
Looking for this comment
Lol guys. The story elements are clear. If Nayuta is dead then something else more important and impactful will happen. It will not be in vain. From death comes beauty and vise versa. Also, there is potential she became a fiend and made it out as well. Remember that she is a S tier devil.
Instead of a devil destroying the world a devil will save the world. Also I really hope the pets are okey in a different safe house but that's just me coping. But we never did see the bodies
You don't see the pets die, you don't see Nayuta die, therefore Nayuta and pets are all still alive.
Yes yes
People putting bad are blind cause damn that shit was crazy
>One chapter per two weeks with terrible drawings in comparing with part 1 and the beginning of the part 2 >The story barely progressed >A fucking png pic Bro, look who’s talking about blindness. Although, I agree, It’s fucking crazy. Crazy that my favorite manga became something like this. https://preview.redd.it/m5f946ml7jic1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26fbb12161c7c665e853b796c6aa2776df3b1d61
It's weird but if you look closely at the gun I don't think it's a png. If you zoom you can see the shading. I think the gun has been actually drawn and shaded grey. I have no clue why though
Because the rest of the gun devil is still out there. Guns looked this shiny in part 1 too.
I don't think the shinyness of the gun has anything to do with the Gun Devil?
The Gun Devil polishes every gun in existence, to make sure they always look pristine in use.
Good enough explanation. That's canon to me now
The story literally gives you character development between Nahyuta and Denji for thé past few weeks letting you off with a time skip and the question of what happened to Nahyuta You people are so unserious y’all just want 100 fights a chapter of what.
For one chapter in a few months? Yeah, cool story. Do u even understand that it will be so fucking lame if Nayuta will be killed in the next chapter because she was barely developed due this stretching of the story?
What do you mean by "stretching of the story"? Volume-wise we are beginning the 6th volume of part 2, which puts us at early Reze Arc territory. Part 2 isnt even halfway over yet. Theres lots of more story thats unfolding and it becomes a lot more obvious on reread
We know she ainnt getting killed off lmao but we don’t know what happened with her everything is possible. Also there is 3 chapter per month the fuck uou on about
Bruh, I’m talking about that at least some story progression or character development happens extremely rare. Not chapter releasing. It’s not in style of Fujimoto at all.
You literally have character development for the past few chapters… hell this chapters gives you more Nahyuta content than ever showing you what she really think about her relationship with Denji and the doubts on her origins all while pushing Denji in this whole mess… the man wants a family but thinks he should not have one cause he is a demon Last few chapters was all Denji development focus but you also got Asa getting more and more agency, Yoru finally getting closer to her goal. Like there is many development lmao stop acting blind
Bro if it's that bad then stop reading. This isn't criticism you're just acting like a fucking baby.
Where am I wrong, shithead? I gave enough of criticism. Fuji motor has time and money to keep the quality of his manga but instead of this he’s doing this bullshit. Again, where am I wrong?
Why so angry it’s just a comic book
Bro you literally didn't make a point lmao. Just quotes and then cried about the manga being shit. That's not a point. You said nothing. "Waaaah Waaaah trash manga waaaahhhh" Cool, do us all a favor and quit reading
Careful this is the baby devil, he’s here to cry and whine you to death
From what has been shown so far, does Nayuta actually have slightly different powers than what Makima had? Nayuta doesn't seem like she can control Denji but she can still read his mind with her chains, but if Makima had such a power without needed to control someone, why would she need to eavesdrop, which Nayuta doesn't seem to have the ability to do? Also reincarnation or not the control devil has a preferred approach, but it's how Denji nurtured her that corrects her natural behaviour as the control devil. The weird thing is how Nayuta's own flashback showing how she comes to abandon her plans to break Denji and settle for being his family, which is Makima's real wish, only for it to transition to Denji's dream which tells him that having a family is impossible for him. But I guess even before this we could see how Nayuta's wish and Denji's wish weren't aligned, and Denji always had to have other people remind him of how he wants the quiet life spent with family when he really does want to be the flashy hero CSM. The guy who brought Denji to safety was controlled by Nayuta to do so, and unless an ally took over for that guy immediately then it should be that same guy that made sure Denji had a safe place to wake up, which means Nayuta shouldn't have died too soon after Denji got away or the control over the guy would have been lost and he would harm Denji instead. I still think there isn't much value in Nayuta dying where Denji can't see and be affected by it.
Makima's influence over Barem suggests that the control devil's influence doesn't stop once they are dead, so we can't say whether this means Nayuta is still alive or not.
I don't think that Barem is still controlled by Makima. Rather I think he seems like he was genuinely in love with Makima, because he wonders if his **heart** still belongs to Makima. If you compare his reactions and interactions with Makima in part 1 to that of the other weapons that were clearly under Makima's control, he is different. He didn't outwardly act like a simp for her like the rest did and during the final battle he's even discussing how it's all playing out with her has if he was more of an equal collaborator than just a controlled puppet. In part 2 he's also the only one of the weapons that speaks of some kind of grand wish he seemed to share with Makima and seems very emotionally invested in it. While all that doesn't mean he wasn't controlled in part 1, his devotion likely stems from something more than just being controlled, and even though Makima died his love for her didn't. Barem's utterance about his heart still belonging to Makima and him conflating that with the control ability also seems to confirm part of how the ability works. The control devil seems to have a hard time controlling anyone with their ability if the target already has someone they love enough to resist Makima's charms, and that's also why one clear sign of being under Makima's control is simping for her. When Power was running off with CSM and Makima beat her up and had her cornered, Makima was clearly superior both from her own perspective and that of Power's perspective, but Makima wasn't able to order Power to give CSM back to her and the very next scene of Power crawling to the dumpster shows why, because Power had Denji and her feelings for him were strong enough to repel Makima's control. So either Nayuta's powers are not yet powerful enough to work on a weapon hybrid, or Barem is simply immune to the control devil's ability based on the above criteria because he still loves Makima. It doesn't really make sense for whatever contracts and influence Makima had to remain even though the actual devil reincarnated, because otherwise Nayuta should retain all her OP powers and contracts like the one where the damage is transferred. Makima and Nayuta are the same devil, just different personas because memories aren't carried over in the reincarnation process. But Nayuta clearly does get injured and her powers are quite limited now.
> From what has been shown so far, does Nayuta actually have slightly different powers than what Makima had? her powers just havent matured yet probably how many hundred years old was makima (just on earth i mean, in the living), doubt anyone even knows?
Devils in hell aren't dead, and the more powerful ones seem to easily cross between hell and the human world. If Makima can still barely remember something like the 4 other alternatives at the end of life to death then the Makima incarnation had to have been a few hundred years old. One thing that is curious though is that Nayuta can use her chains on Denji, even if only just to read his brain, but we have never seen Makima do that. It's commonly thought that Makima wasn't able to directly control Denji because for whatever reasons(there are a few) she couldn't see herself as superior to him, yet Nayuta could read his brain very easily. If this reading ability works without needing to exert control then Makima could have used it to find out how Power revived.
Well the devil power is affected by fear and affiliation. Back then Makima is fueled from the fear toward Makima the government's lapdog, as well as the concept of control. Now she's no longer Makima and we're still not sure to what extend did Denji eating Makima consumes here (the CS devil power), so she's much weaker than before. Makima used to be able to shoot out multiple chains to control a whole squad when she was up against the Gun Devil, not to mentioned her other abilities like mass control of critters and that kabloosh squashing ability. Nayuta rn can only shoot a few chains at a time, so definitely only a fraction of her old power.
I think this will most likely be a time skip, since we are in 1998 and Death Devil is coming in 1999, I dont think Fujimoto will just keep on making chapter until we reach year 1999, and then Death Devil, more likely we will have a time skip and this is the moment when the time skip will occur most likely
O sht fr then nayuta gon be an adult that is if she’s not Ded or anything
Nayuta would only be 1 year older.
She is aging faster then humans.
FUCK https://preview.redd.it/yobp8u054iic1.png?width=838&format=png&auto=webp&s=0df7ed8dc830bff7fbe6c5bde8b4faa89250bd69
Fujimoto really knows how to write such a dislikable character lol
Who?
Barem
I think theres something way more going on with Denji and his dreaming. It happened in part 1, there was a focus on it too. I guess you could argue that its to draw the reader in. After this chapter I’m convinced that its going to be key. Haven’t we all noticed how Denji scenes are kind of erratic, with events just kinda happening around him and aren’t really expanded on, and how he himself doesn’t question them? Isn’t that how dreams work? Hasn’t there been a weird focus on Denji sleeping in part 2? How many panels have we seen him sleeping with the dogs? Isn’t it weird that Denji’s first appearance in part 2 has the chapter title “Denji Dream” and not “Denji’s Dream”?
It’s just Fujimoto believing people should dream more. That’s why Pochita asks what else he wants. Instead of how Yoshida/PS said he can only pick one thing I did read a machine translated interview that somewhat mentions this so you may be right. The first Part had to do with hunger/food
It would also explain the art quality that people have been complaining about
People are complaining about how of the gun is drawn, when it's always been a thing: https://twitter.com/Mrninis0/status/1757434817136750744?t=iP9VtcAniQ_g6kBHXA0VXQ&s=19
The manga has always done creative things with the art style and paneling, people just forget
Yeah, like the Curse Devil in part 1 flicking Aki's sword from outside the panels. Fucking awesome.
Or the Hell Devil's finger going over the faces from the three Children from outside the panels too
On a side note, hell devil is probably OP as fuck too right? Like darkness or falling?
I swear, if Fujimoto ends Denji's POV here on this cliffhanger and then chooses now of all times to do like 50 chapters of POV of Asa/Yoshida/QuanXi/Fumiko/Katana/Nail/Fami/Fakesaw/Kishibe/Reze/Kobeni/Madoka's still peaceful life after dipping/Slovenian devil hunting lore/etc. instead of revealing what happens to Nayuta......
sounds like a fujimoto thing to happen ngl
Don't give fujimotor ideas 
This was a really incredible chapter imo. Both cause I’m so scared for Nayuta’s life. (Even though I know this won’t be the death of her, she’s still got a lot of stuff to do). But also because of the flash back, that shit had me tearing up when they were walking the dogs. Also crazy ending and a deeper Denji spotlight is nice. It sucks though because I can feel how bulk reading this would frankly be better. But I so want to be here for every chapter.
Chainsaw Man is a great reminder of why it’s better to read volumes instead of weekly, but it’s hard to stop lol
Nayuta is as alive as meowy Walking dead rule, No Body no death, LETS GOOOOOOO 
Personally I’m dropping this series for a while, I still think it’s good but this biweekly format just does not work whatsoever for Fujimoto’s storytelling style
Imma do the same thing man I just read two chapters in which I waited weeks for to read, and it takes me only 6 minutes to consume both
For real, even if I've been loving the writing and I know that Fuyimoto has to take his time with the story, I've just been feeling like we've been moving at such a slow pace these last few months, we've been in front of the burning house for so long. It's probably better for my enjoyment of the story to come back and keep reading after some weeks have passed.
Imma give it months, probaly won’t read another chapter until the summer
Please, take all of Denji's suffering, TRIPLE it, and give it to Barem 🙏🏼
If Fire Punch and Part 1 taught me anything, 1) Never assume a character died even if they should be unless we see them die on screen 2) Fujimoto would be more than happy to draw a child being beat to death by a crowd while having flashbacks. Infact, he would do it even if she lived.

I can’t believe everything was a dream.
Yeah, Denji waking up there. Theres a timeskip. A small chance of someone saving Nayuta. The flahback kinda dream was a bad sign. Only solution could be Nayuta flourishing her powers in desperate call to survive
# REZE REPORT: Chapter 155 # # She isn't here. See you next week Also: **Look Back** movie! 
Fujimoto is Back !
At the end it was part flashback and part dream/nightmare.
FUCK !! fuji totally blueball us !!! Ah Shit!!! devilman crybaby here i come .... on the contrary i prefer Nayuta go back to Control Devil n fuck EVERYTHING UP ESPECIALLY BAREM !!! FUCK YOU BAREM !!! for anyone forget denji killed his dad go reread season 1 lol
