Chainsaw Man Chapter 145: Kumbaya

Wow, a whole lot of questions have arisen from this chapter. Yoshida appears, Asa makes a move, the prophecy creeps ever forward as the Chainsaw Man church is captured. Fujimoto can make a lot happen in a chapter when they really want to.

So, Mr. Public Safety Devil Hunter here says two interesting things to open up this chapter. He talks about wanting War to mutually destroy Chainsaw Man, and he alludes to Chainsaw Man being God. Yeah, capital G there.

So, what do they mean? Clearly, Public Safety (through the Future Devil) became aware of the Nostradamus Prophecy a while back, and have understood that Denji has a key role to play in it. Fami corroborates this theory as she tries to weaken him.

And the second image. Well, that one's sort of obvious. Chainsaw is revered as a Devil unlike any other, the only ones we've not seen it conquer is the primal devils. Even then, he got pretty close with the Falling Devil.

Anyways, one of the big reveals of the chapter: the Justice Devil.

When you look at its design language, you see nothing of the fiendish appearances from previous instances of "justice devil" contracts. So what could be going on here?

There's a few ideas, but first its important to gather up the facts.

Firstly, the corpse of the Justice Devil was beneath the Chainsaw Man church. Secondly, Fami at the minimum had control of the Falling Devil. Third, the Justice Devil and Falling Devil appeared at sunset and the Falling Devil returned at sunrise. Fourth, the devil that has formed contracts with people throughout the story is claimed to not be the Justice Devil.

So, my first theory. The Justice Devil actually did form contracts with the individuals in question. However, these contracts weren't formed on Earth. Devils "forget" about Hell, but are a new iteration of themselves each time they appear on Earth. The "them" that exists in hell is the original, so what would happen if someone formed a contract with a devil in hell? It's not the most likely, as Fujimoto probably hasn't mislead readers with the identity of this Devil, but you never know.

The more likely theory though is that the Devil that formed a contract with these individuals under the guise of the Justice Devil, is the same one that gave Fakesaw Man his abilities. But what could it mean, is the real question. Does this unnamed Devil impart the abilities and nature of "Justice" onto individuals in how each person understands it? The class president and the Chainsaw Man church believer both sport at least a little similarity in design language with the idea of multiple heads, which makes sense given the selfish nature of each. Yuko's appearance though is largely different from theirs, which is once more understandable considering the difference in reasoning.

So, what could this devil that's been masquerading as Justice be? I think the one that comes to mind the quickest is "Desire", or something similar. The Devil requires the ability to fulfill the interests or needs of the individual, and to do so in a very direct way. Yeah, we've seen a lot of this "Justice" in Part 2, but we should remember that in part 1 almost all the devil contracts out there did not do anything to change the appearances of the individuals forming the contracts. The only example off the top of my head is the Zombie Devil.

But going further than that is the question of how Fami got this Devil on their side, and even further why she's playing so many angles at once. Betting on "both sides" she aims to kill Asa and Yoru, but also empower them through the Chainsaw Man church? There's a very long game going on here with Fami and the Nostradamus Prophecy, and I'm very very curious to see how it all ends up going down.

Anyways, here's another Asa door moment. Couldn't be a CSM protagonist without them.

Following this, two very big things happen. The first is the sun goes down. Drawing attention to this is signaling that another devil will appear. Whether it's a primal devil or not, or even potentially the revival of the Justice Devil I've no idea, but a threat looms on the horizon.

This idea begs the question of why the weapons were trying to create a massacre at the amusement park today though. It seems probable that their entire goal was to have a new devil appear come sunset (considering Barem's reaction), so it makes me wonder why they would try to do something so pointless.

The second though, is Asa's arm getting cut off. This is really big for two reasons. One, badass Yoshida in action looking like a young (and hot) Kishibe.

Secondly, and more importantly, it's the first time Asa's been severely injured since Yoru revived her. What are the mechanisms for regeneration and healing with Asa? How much can she heal, if it all? Is regeneration entirely on Yoru, does she have to be in control of the body to heal?

There's a lot of questions with this piece, because unlike all the other hybrids that have a "starter" for their transformation, Asa's is implicit. There's nothing that "kickstarts" her hybrid form, simply because she doesn't have one. Does that mean that she'd heal closer to how a Fiend might? That is, the act of transformation alone cannot regenerate or heal like it does for Denji?

I'm very very curious to see what happens here, because oddly enough this is a piece that can massively affect how we view exactly what Asa and Yoru are.

We're quickly barreling towards the date of July 18, 1999, the date of the last lunar eclipse of the 20th century, and with chapters like these we're piling on all sorts of curious odds and ends that will undoubtedly play a role in this impending night of terror. Really can't wait to see what Fujimoto does with it next.

Praying that Fujimoto lets these two become best friends. Denji really needs a win that doesn’t come from an adult and I think a cool hybrid bro is exactly what.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 140: Scales

Phew, it's been an unbelievably busy day today so I haven't had the chance to sit down and read today's chapter until just now. Thankfully, it was worth slogging through the day to get to this super interesting chapter. Plenty to point out and lots to discuss!

Denji might be an idiot, but he's not stupid. Right away he realizes that children and students are what populate the halls of the Chainsaw Man Church, a paragon on purity and goodness, and definitely not a cult like Miri points emphasized earlier.

Also, Nobana here is confirmed to be Kobeni's younger brother. No real surprise, but the position he's been placed in makes things far far more interesting. Is he here without Kobeni knowing? Is he here because of Kobeni's association or link to Special Division 4? It's an interesting question to pose, but regardless of outcome almost guarantees the fact that she'll reappear in the story at some point.

Anyways, although there's a lot of interesting pieces to this chapter, there's also a bunch of funny ones thanks to the all encompassing nature of the Chainsaw Man Church. I mean, what's a church without a Chapel, right?

Even through these funny moments though, the chapter does well at keeping the gears turning in your head about what the purpose of it all is. After all, it was shown in part 1 that Denji's powers were weakened when more people started cheering for him and thought of him as less scary. Could Fami be placing the same importance into the fanaticism of the Chainsaw Man Church to ensure that Denji isn't powerful enough to interfere in the prophecy?

I'm not sure, but what I'm sure of is that Miri hates America.

In more interesting terms, we get another confirmed Hybrid Devil with Barem, the Flamethrower Devil. A very interesting character for sure, they tease a lot in regards to Denji's character, and probe rather deep with what seems like malicious purpose.

Right away Barem gets to pushing Denji's buttons, trying to coax Chainsaw Man out of him. How he phrases things and how he approaches Denji, it's all to get a rise out of him to get him to do something.

Alongside that though, he attacks Denji's heart by offering a choice: Chainsaw Man, or his daily life? There's a lot to take in here, but Fujimoto makes an incredible choice in paneling with when Barem presents the options. Rather than one half being Denji, and the other chainsaw man, both are Denji. Because, well, Denji is Chainsaw Man and vice versa. The entire idea is inseparable from the person, even if Denji is in deep enough a hole to say it was Pochita that fought Makima. It's a great piece that addresses the Denji beneath this outside version, reassuring readers that Denji isn't as shallow as Part 2 can present him to be.

Also, does Barem potentially have a contract with another Devil? I don't know if it's possible for Hybrids to really form contracts, but the idea of scales really brings up the concept of Justice, which has shown to be a devil that's played quite the role in Asa's life so far. Can't really help but feel like there might be some extra influence in that regard.

Getting to the end, the pressure Barem puts on Denji is too much for him to handle, so he books it, leaving the two hybrids standing there on their own. There's not much to it aside from Barem's dialogue, but it's really great in spite of how little there is. The script flips from Denji to Chainsaw Man, and Barem essentially offers a threat that Denji won't be allowed to stay out of this fight for much longer. Thanks to that, a really interesting spider's web appears of what it is the Chainsaw Man Church is attempting to do to Denji. In the end though? It appears the end goal is to place him under the control of Fami. To starve him of his attention, his title and the life that he worked so hard for, to bring him to his knees in as many ways as possible. Each and every character wants to break down Denji until Chainsaw Man is all that's left. And with each chapter, that goal ends up closer and closer.

It's a really great chapter for how short it can feel. Though we have a bit of filler with how weird the cult of the Chainsaw Man Church is, we still get plenty about Denji's spiral towards the end, and Fujimoto continues to do a great job with this more slow and methodic approach. Also, the odds of Denji bumping into Reze in the Church while he feels from Barem feel incredibly high, and that really seems like it'll be the nail in the coffin. I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds!
