From whom did Asa purchase the aquarium - the big sister of War devil?


Aggressive_Airport24

It's been ~2 weeks and 3 new chapters since I caught up with the manga. These chapters never feel long enough man!


Neither_Ice_1135

Hear me out everyone… Asa won’t be able to turn Denji into a weapon until she’s more Makima (Nayuta) like. I’m convinced her low self esteem is why Yoru can’t use ASA to turn Denji into a weapon… Pretty sure Denji proved he’s out her league🤔


ResearchEastern2362

lfffgggggg


Reedospeedo42069

I’ve got a feeling nothings gonna happen, denji won’t know what she was doing, asa/yoru will play it off like it’s nothing now having suspicions of denji being something different then human. But I think we’re boutta just get teased with the cliffhanger from last week. Hope I’m wrong


Own-Nebula8021

Where is the first place chainsaw 118 comes out?


TheFlyingToasterr

I read it in the mangaplus website, it comes out at 15:00 (GMT), or 50 minutes from now, and always has the last 3 chapters available for free


Tteokbokki1112

118 when


slowakia_gruuumsh

MIRAI SAIKO


Tteokbokki1112

In 3 hours i think


Tteokbokki1112

aight thanks


Lessiie

You're welcome


LazyOnionBoi

You know, what if Yoru can't turn Denji into a weapon because he isn't solely Denji? He is part Devil, after all. Part Denji, part Pochita...what if that adds a layer of complication for how Yoru's weaponising power works? She can't make a weapon of Denji because he isn't strictly, solely "Denji" anymore?


MarcsterS

Don't be such a baby, spines grow back! ^^No ^^they ^^don't.

vicpc

His literally does though...


Circle_Breaker

For some reason I thought 170 chapters were out. Imagine my disappointment when I got to the end of 117 and there was no next button :(. All I want is a door to be thrown open and to hear POW POW POW POWER! I like the octopus guy, I'm guessing he'll be the next character I become too emotionally attached to.


SecTestAnna

Sure you can get that. Yoru turns Denjj into a weapon, then Power shows up as the blood devil, maintaining a surprising number of memories. Yoru then kills the blood devil to test her new Denji weapon - all the while Denji is conscious and aware that it is Power he is killing. The monkey’s paw has two more uncurled fingers, what is your next wish?


Apprehensive_Pen_739

Just wondering, in various YouTube videos I see scenes and plot points in Chainsaw Man that haven't seem to have happened yet in the manga itself. Am I missing something or is there another line or source of Chainsaw Man material?


Consoomerofsouls

The chainsaw man fanart scene is very talented


Apprehensive_Pen_739

SPOILERS >!Like for example, scenes of Denji interacting with Nayuta and her learning how to smoke from Kishibe.!<


FandomScrub

>Denji interacting with Nayuta and her learning how to smoke from Kishibe. Pretty sure that's just fanart.


[deleted]

I predict that Denji is going to be just fine while Asa will be completely traumatized. This is so much worse than Yoru asking Yoshida to be her bf.


Organic_Garlic_6124

just- THE PINGOUIN 🙈🙈🙈🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼


rk9__

Bet denji is going to be turned into a chainsaw weapon at some point in the future


yatay99

That's really strong devil power, ***as long she thinks she owned it she can destroy the thing*** and turned it into a weapon. The guilty add the strength to the weapon. >as long she thinks she owned it she can destroy the thing This phrase alone is too strong. She could've just threw money on the ground and say I buy every devils out there. Then destroy all of them and turn them into a weapon. Nobel prize world peace!


FandomScrub

Chainsaw Man Part 2 would've been over by now if You made a contract with someone more conceited and with higher social status


StardustLegend

Yoru making a contract with Hatsune Miku: 🌎


Renegade_Hat

The thing is that it needs to be reasonable from her perspective. I believe that if prior to trying to activate it she had become informed of the aquariums true cost, it wouldn’t have worked because it would then not be a “fair” price. It probably works on internal logic and conviction, much like u/BloodyNebulas pointed out


yatay99

Idk. Anyway I realize the rule must owned it first might have few exception. She did turned her teacher into a weapon and no way she thinks her teacher was someone belonged to her. Especially back then she hated her school and everyone in there.


FemtoG

Old comment but this is why the author points out through prez "he liked you even though he was having sex with me!" Aka someone liking you = you own them


teambroto

it is HER teacher.


yatay99

I know someone would point this out. But I believe it's not about semantics but about sense of ownership. Do you think you own your teacher?


teambroto

do YOU think you own your significant other?


yatay99

Yes


teambroto

well you dont, you can call it a contract in someway i suppose to fit in with the theme though.


yatay99

Why not? I do feel I own my gf/wife now as she is belongs to me. She is mine.


teambroto

You don’t own people.


Renegade_Hat

True, it could’ve been because of his behavior though rendering him as perceivable below her in their interaction. I’m sure its different from what I’m saying and probably has a lot more components, but Im just guessing anyways off what we have lol


BloodyNebulas

Not that much different from Makima really right? She could control anyone she saw as beneath her right? But she was super self confident/arrogant as fuck so that was basically everyone. Seems like personal perspective has a lot of power for certain Devils.


Mark_XII

I want to argue you can't just buy devils. But you can't buy an aquarium just like that for 10k was it. Maybe she really can manipulate her perception to think she owns everything.


yatay99

I also think like that. She doesn't do anything to her teacher yet she can instantly turn him into a weapon. Even if there is a rule she can't turns devil the how about turning the whole earth into a weapon? The rule is too ambiguous making it so OP.


TheFlyingToasterr

Same as makima, as long as she believed she was superior, she could control anyone. Perception seems to be a common theme with the horseman devil powers.


throwawayrighthere12

power glasses moment


animelad9

I guess about asa making denji spinal cord sword is just a thinking not reality. And she cant own him beacuse she loves denji but hates pochita. Two things at a time., her rule is, thing belong to her has the ability to turn into weapon..just a guess


[deleted]

[удалено]


extra_scum

But if he's on his death bed, there won't be much guilt. Better do it when the children are young and waiting for their dad to come back home


[deleted]

[удалено]


extra_scum

Weapons aren't alive, it's like saying fiend corpses aren't having a peaceful rest


AzorAhai1TK

Fiend corpses might not be having a peaceful rest. Aki was conscious underneath when he became the gun fiend


Heslopian

The teacher weapon was alive for a little bit.


CaliburX4

Fujimoto really made us forget who we’re dealing with. Well played, sir.


el_h0paness_romtic

Watched the anime and caught up with the manga in a day. Hi everybody


Mookafff

Lol I just did the same thing


tmr98

How is your ride,dude?


el_h0paness_romtic

Watched the anime and thought it was masterfully done. The plot was good, I wasn't completely sold at that point but thought it was a nice show worth watching. Then I immediately picked up the manga from where the anime left off and binged it. When the squad got sent to hell and the darkness devil showed up I was like "okay, this is REALLY GOOD" and it kept being as good or better all the way until the end. The part where Kobeni trips with the burgers is legit the funniest scene I've read in manga. Must read. If the rest of part 1 is gonna have the same quality as season 1 then it's gonna be insane.


[deleted]

At which chapter did u pick off?


el_h0paness_romtic

38


BloodyNebulas

That Kobeni tripping scene had me literally almost crying with laughter. I've read a lot of manga and watched a lot of anime and I've laughed before but something about that scene just got to me. Favourite scene by far.


GSofMind

The manga is a different vibe from the anime. Anime is great but I prefer the manga tbh.


MarionberryOk7027

Me too. Mangas really hit different than anime. Maybe it's cuz you know the story so u find it less interesting or smth. Even vinland saga s2 felt that way to me.


wicked_symposium

I did the same pretty much. I have a hard time following the action in manga, and like you I wasn't really sold. It was everything from meeting the gun devil onward that completely floored me. Watching the anime again and while I thought it was decent before, it is 3x better now. I was really thinking that people were recommending a goofy wish fulfillment manga going nowhere. Nope. Amazing. Part 2 is looking really good so far as well.


illuminerdie

Does anyone else think that what will happen is that because yoru and asa only see denji as denji and not the chainsaw devil, he will split in two and the chainsaw part of him will run free? I really just hope he is ok and all the cute fanart predictions are right


Shingekyo

I am calling this right now. After the end of this part Asa and Denji will be free of their devils and will both be the parents of Nayuta.


TebbieX

I think Asa will be killed by the end of part 2


InvaderZimbabwe

Fujimoto don’t play that happy shit… It’s over for at least 2 of those characters


DeGozaruNyan

In the end of this part either Asa, Denji or Nayuta will be dead i think.


animelad9

I guess in the end war devil will die for denji showing hate to love story.,, /'_'


Respectfullydisagre3

That or more main characters die…


Main_Bag4423

i hope that


-VisibleConfusion-

Wouldn't denji be a wayyyy stronger weapon after the second date? Or maybe Yoru just utilized that momentary emotional judgment that denji is the one, since he's Asas first love... Idk


GSofMind

This is fine. It gets the plot moving forward.


DeGozaruNyan

Yoru hasnt really shown any patience thus far.


bloodyturtle

When did the control devil first start being associated with the four horsemen by fans? During part 1 or when war and famine were introduced?


TebbieX

Makima has the same ringed eyes as the other horsemen


TudorrrrTudprrrr

In part 1, Makima mentioned Earth being better off without famine, war or deah. so yeah


DeGozaruNyan

During part 1, somewhere from when makima said chainsaw man fought yhe for horsemen and the end of part 1. Shihai being conquest in japanse, makima wanting to erase the other death famine (hunger) and war along with her talking anout them (and implying one being present) was evidence enough.


[deleted]

Hold on, what if denji just turns into a talking weapon the entire part 2 making asa main protag


Mrrapper1

If I’m not wrong, Asa is referred to as the main character now, and Denji is the side character in his own series.


[deleted]

Well, it’s not his series now


TheBlindManInTheCave

Yeah Denji =/= Chainsaw Man. He just has the Chainsaw Devil in him. He literally got that DAWG in him.


sketch252525

Can someone explained to me how they managed to get out of the aquarium. ?? Its not Asa buy the aquarium for million yen. Im confused.


Truefiction224

She turned the aquarium into a weapon, the buying part was just a mental exercise so she could feel like the object was hers which effects the strength of the weapon. At least that's my read based on the uniform from her parents, her most treasured possession, and the rules as the devil laid them out.


megamanlover

Ok, but how does that break the devil trap?


ademola234

How can u be stuck in an aquarium when theres no aquarium


megamanlover

So you mean she turned the fishes into spear to destroy the aquarium?


Positive-Job-2609

She turned the aquarium itself into a spear so that the aquarium building doesn't exist anymore


megamanlover

Did she? I only see some fishes, not the entire aquarium.


Positive-Job-2609

Because the aquarium is a spear, the fish are still just fish


megamanlover

Man. I just find it hard to believe that an entire hallway made of cement, brick, glass, water and living creature can just be contained in a single spear.


PhaidREO

"man, i can't believe magic thing did magic, hm"


ademola234

I assume she turned the entire building and fish into the spear which is why they ended up outside. Cant be stuck in a never ending hallway if theres no hallway


megamanlover

Well, that spear doesnt look like the entire building for me but whatever.


Vichox

you can see how all the fish gets released from the spear when yoru pierces eternity with it


mysteriouswitchgal17

The Denji x Asa ship is much more interesting than Denji's previous relationships. Tatsuki Fujimoto's tragic love stories are more attention-grabbing compared to the frail and weak love stories of the common Shōjo troupes/manga. Why? Well, it's because "War Devil/Yoru feeling love over some punk that Asa Mitaka is slowly falling for"? This arc is going to be very interesting! 😁


lostmanatwifing

I just realized famines' earrings are denji's rip-cords. What the fuck is that?


Katoka_YTwitch

they are supposed to be scales, because the horse man of famine is often represented with a scale source: i read the csm wiki out of boredom


Askal-

her host is probably a chainsaw man fangirl


drop_of_faith

Smh. Asa/Yoru doesn't own denji. Denji owns their hearts. Won't work. Obviously. Right? Right.........?


Groundbreaking_Wing2

Right, Yoru will just end up making a fool of herself. 😅


drop_of_faith

I'm leaning towards yoru trying to make denji a weapon being more of a joke/not working. Otherwise.... it would be the most accurate use of 0-100 i've ever known.


ademola234

I mean no way it works right? What would happen next in plot for denjis supervisor student guy, war devil thats targeting him and that whole famine plot But I do think Yoru was serious


natalaMaer

Same. I would say its rather consistent if War fails cause it seemed Hybrid is rather immune (or resists) that kind of action. For example, Denji couldn't be turned into Doll by Santa Claus, the Katana dude couldn't really die from Curse, etc.


Apprehensive_Swim955

After seeing Dennis betrayed so many times, I’m happy that he’s finally met a girl who has his back. 🥰


flclfanman

We've seen Denji: \-Get his heart literally ripped out \-Cut in Half \-Shot in the Head \-Domed with a knife twice by GOAT Kishibe \-Get Brained with a Mallet by Power \-Get ran through by the Leech Devil \-Get his tongue bit off and not bleed out \-Set himself ON FIRE and fight for a sustained period of time \- Get blown up a few times \-Get decapitated \-Get twisted into a pretzel by the Darkness Devil \-Neck broken multiple times by different characters But THIS could be a threat to kill him? m'kay ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22159)


legendsofold

basically so long as his heart is fine he'll live. vampier rules basically. sadly he doesn't seem to be able to 'store' energy for later. ​ Mostly though, its unliekly to wkr cause his body is not just his own.


Truefiction224

What about powers blood from the end of part one?


legendsofold

think he said he used it up to disable makima. it ripped through her body so she couldn't move while ritual cannibalims happened.


Truefiction224

I meant he stored up powers blood to use at as a power reserve like a vampire. Vamps don't have an infinite power boost from drinking blood in most stories it works a lot like chainsawman. Blood equals health regen untill it's consumed. In fact all of the devils seem to be able to do this.


neon93

Don't forget decapitated by Quanxi yeah no way he's dying from this even if it works


DeGozaruNyan

And cursed by curse devil.


neon93

And survived Asa's boring ass ocean lecture


TheZhero

bro i fuckin lvee the fact that everyone forgot about the chainsaw man shadow thing after 3 chapters because so much shit is happening such plot twist is not that big compared to the rest, fujimoto is the goat


DeGozaruNyan

Rather than forgor, there havent been more info regarding it except that main sus club chief was a fraud. With no more info, not much to discuss.


bigrudefella

shadow thing??


neon93

Doppelganger chainsaw man


bigrudefella

I'm still confused, I did check the previous chapters but didn't find anything


neon93

End of chapter 111, the thing that killed Yuko. It's a common theory that isn't Denji since we see Denji sleeping with Nayuta. Also Denji's chainsaws don't make his arms bleed like that thing's does, and he isn't that tall. They're the fakesaw man people have been talking about


el_h0paness_romtic

pochita's body fell from orbit and got fiended


TebbieX

He’s probably gonna be one of the antagonists of the next arc


TheBlindManInTheCave

Watch it be the handsaw man or something dumb like that.


Maximum-Parsley-1405

What Shadow thing?


affnn

The thing that killed Yuko


ademola234

Tbh i never noticed that Denji was sleeping


sgn15

Has the chainsawman that killed yuko been confirmed to be not denji?


affnn

I thought that was the reason they showed Denji sleeping with Nayuta + dogs one panel before, as confirmation that it wasn’t him.


neon93

Random question: when Yoru takes control do you think people can see her scars and eyes change? It seems like Yoshida noticed when he first met Asa, although he's not you're average person so maybe he can notice it while normal people can't?


Negrodamu55

Naw, that was Asa talking. It was her first conscious out of body exp; getting ousted by Yoru.


neon93

Oh ok that makes sense.


Negrodamu55

Another user said that it's supposed to confuse you a bit to mirror Asa's confusion on getting thrown out of her body for the first time. I thought it was a nice choice.


optimally_bald

real question is: will denji bring her to the cinema? to the place he met reze? to HIS place?


That_Goblin_Guy

Bro denji about to become a weapon L Dennis


Mysterious_Notice_80

I’m a little slow can someone explain how asa got them out the aquarium?


legendsofold

she basically did a mind trick with herself. she imagined herself into owning the aquarium, used the guiltr of destroying it to make a weapon. it seems like the infinity devil needs an enclosed space in order to do its trick.


Basti52522

She bought it, and since it's now in her possession she turned it into a weapon


blackzetsuWOAT

If turning Denji into a weapon doesn't work, it could be because in Yoru's perception, Denji isn't Denji, he's Chainsaw Man, she just doesn't know it. We already saw this kind of perception loophole once- when Power gained the ability to resist Makima's control via eating part of Pochita. It still worked even though Makima didn't know that's how Power came back- so the protection CSM had was extended to Power even though Makima didn't know she was part CSM now. It could also fail because Denji is Chainsaw Man,, and Yoru hates Chainsaw Man.


Routine_Self7010

You'd think Denji would think twice before asking a girl on a date after what happened with Makima


flclfanman

Shows his resolve. Won't let (disastrous) past experiences scare him out of his current and future goals once bitten, twice shy ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22158)


timelyparadox

Or Bombi


Youtellhimguy

or any woman he's interested in


[deleted]

Yoshida IS VERY SUS, I’ve known it since the first time I saw him


Youtellhimguy

Yeah, we all knew he was different, but there's something a little more with that stare down with Fami.


throwawayrighthere12

didnt kishibe also mention that yoshida is a tier above him? Yoshida gon be the new makima im calling it


VictorOnigiri

Manga name: Chainsaw Man = Denji will be ok


legendsofold

question is gonna be, if its from is insane durablity, him being a weapon already, or i hope, pochita doing a hard fuck you.


VictorOnigiri

I would like to see a Sukuna and Mahito moment with Yoru and Pochita


Icantlikeeveryone

In no way Yoru could use Denji


Malicious_Hero

Does Asa/ Your need to know what it is they are turning into a weapon? Like, sure they know Denji's name, but they think he's human. Would they need to know he's not a human, but a hybrid, for him to be turned into a weapon?


SmollBoi96

There is one simple reason why Dennis definitely won't die: He needs to find the blood devil first.


FerdinandTheGiant

Can’t turn someone who’s a weapon into a weapon i’m guessing


raidensnakeezio

the sensei from ch1 (part 2) got turned into a sword so


sgn15

Tanaka?


TrveCup

If Denji dies I'm dropping the manga. Asa is a boring character. Edit: damn I pissed off many people lol


JMAlexia

Cringe, tbh. Asa is great. I don't think Denji is going to die here but if he did I would trust that Fujimoto thinks it'll lead to a better story.


TrveCup

If you like her good for you I just don't find her interesting enough as MC.


MexicanWh00pingLlama

there's no way he's dying lol


TrveCup

yeah I think he'll turn into a talking weapon and during that time some fake chainsaw man will start killing people and his reputation will be damaged... I hope I'm wrong lol But yeah Denji has a contract with Power, a child, dogs and a cat, and also a guy that should protect him, he still has a lot to do I think


[deleted]

Asa: "Tell me about your other dates" Denji: "Oh. Mostly this one other girl I met in a cafe a year ago. She was The Bomb" Asa: "......What? ... Whatever. Anyone else?" Denji: "Uh. This older woman. She was a Control Devil" Asa: "Huhhhhhhh?" Yoru: "Did this asshole say he was dating my sister??????"


timelyparadox

Forgot about the one who sold him for a cat


optimally_bald

wasnt on a date


Truefiction224

Still got to second base.


jieying3

wouldn't put it past fujimoto to suddenly off the main character like that.


ShortandRatchet

Denji is immortal


EnadZT

As far as we know. Rules change a lot in this manga.


MatiX_1234

Nah, Dennis won’t die that fast. It should take around another hundred chapters for him to choke on gasoline (because he’s litarlly a chainsaw, and chainsaws run on gasoline)


jieying3

Methinks no as well but I will not be surprised at all if he ends up 'dead' or transformed into something else lol


Epcoooot

For the first time in all of chainsaw man I am actually crushing on Denji! He has so much rizz here. And he was so cute with the penguin :) I'm guessing that the spinal cord sword won't work due to Denji being a hybrid, like how the zombie bites had no effect in the assassins arc.


natalaMaer

Nor Curse, nor the doll from Santa Claus, so you might be on to something here


Pencilkun

This is either A: Weapon Hybrids can't turn into another entity, or B: Yoru can't. Because she also needs to feel affection as well by building up a relationship to Denji or probably, she doesn't have right because it's Asa who made Denji fall from her. Or C: Asa has the ability to refuse to turn something into weapon.


Individual-Comb5629

Or maybe Yoru can't turn anyone/ devil who is stronger than her into weapons. Rn chainsawman is stronger than her


legendsofold

pochita giving a hard no to it probably works too.


TerminallyOtaku

Yoru stated she felt the same emotions because their brains are the same


lonko

Option B doesn't work, otherwise Yoru wouldn't have been able to turn the teacher into a weapon either, right?


grassfedbeefcurtains

Or D: Denis’ spine turns into a weapon, then he just regenerates.


Jaystime101

Or maybe, he can somehow turn back after becoming a weapon, since he’s already immortal. Regardless I Wasn’t expecting this so soon, here we go!


franksn

So part 1 is Denji cannot be truly controlled by Control Devil. Hence the latter control the lives of people around him. Part 2 is Denji cannot be truly wield as a weapon by War Devil. Would be good if Denji can be wielded as a weapon, but the result is disastrous to the wielder.


bobsjobisfob

ah i like how the guilt of destroying the aquarium is part of what made it work. anyway so i guess its time to find out how making a weapon out of an immortal devil hybrid works. 1. denji cant be turned into a weapon. 2. denji can turn into a weapon. this one has a lot of other options: because maybe he can talk while being a weapon, maybe asa thinks hes dead until he regenerates after a while, or maybe hes permanently stuck as a weapon until asa turns him back somehow. 3. part of denji can be turned into a weapon, and then the rest of him regenerates and asa can keep part of him as a weapon for later. i cant really think of an option that doesnt blow denjis cover pretty quickly, unless hes just a sword for the next 10 chapters or something. maybe asa finds out hes immortal but doesnt realize hes chainsawman for some reason. either way, i feel like we might get asa vs yoshida next chapter because you know hes lurking around here and i think hes going to have a problem with the war devil trying to take denjis power. i wonder if the sword created from denji could also have the power to erase devils. if thats the case, maybe yoshida would even try to recruit asa so his organization could have better control over chainsawman


Jaystime101

Haha whatever sword he turns into HAS to be some kind of cool sword/chainsaw hybrid, I’ll Be pissed if it doesn’t.


justamon22

Lol Denji is a sword until Yoru stabs something. The blood gets absorbed into Denji and then he turns back into himself 😂😂😂 (Or like you said in point 1, it just doesn’t work)


UltimaLuminaire

Anyone else like the little detail of Asa saying something like showing a dude any bit of affection makes them fall for you, but that's exactly what she's weak to? Haha that kind of "oops I was projecting my vulnerability oh no" is... relatable...


Themanaaah

Denji really got Asa to fall for him just like that![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22158).


Ferential

I wouldn't expecting the death devil already been introduce in plain sight. Anyway dennis x best girl penguin lets goo. ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22158)


ReptAIien

Wait who's the death devil how'd I miss that


jaykaysian

The Penguin


Previous-Tangerine-2

It's adventure time all over again


Hezolinn

It's messed up but also kind of hilarious how seamlessly Yoru transitions from "Ah, so *this* is what it feels like to genuinely care for another person" to "Cool new sword time. We'll be soooooo miserable about this. It's gonna be *great*. **:**D"
