@HellFire80085 Pochita isnt actually in his heart still, it was his body remembering instinctively when Asa says Chainsaw man. He still has the heart disease

I refined my theory a little more

@flunderfins @AwestruckVox It is

@AwestruckVox It absolutely won't

a 4 year story that's gonna be a smooth one-day binge just like part 1 was when most people found it

@glo2ed @VampKhai @yeahfakeaccount @bluemingrose @jojoslyfe21 Disliking it doesnt mean it never happened dawg, completely irrelevant to what you were saying

@VampKhai @yeahfakeaccount @bluemingrose @jojoslyfe21 i can understand the themes of an ending and still dislike it due to the buildup being revealed as an active waste of my time

So him continuously getting SA’d was for what now exactly?

@HexNoEyes @Uh_spunj @TenSNeo Pochita was either chainsaw or abortion/birth devil, and he has the ability to do both since chainsaws were originally used for that. They fear the actual devil and it powers it up, if they associate CSM with these things the fear is powering CSM. Plus devils are def helping

@Uh_spunj @TenSNeo if he was how does people being scared of the concept of chainsaw man empower him

I wanted to say that since Chainsawman is not the Chainsawdevil then he's probably the fear of giving birth/abortion Which would not only validate the chainsaw motif since caesarian sections were practiced with Chainsaws before but also the erasure ability(Existence/birth denial)

@crssroadkill I agree wholeheartedly with the fact that its no longer used for birth and no erasure Though I think its still possible Pochita wasnt ever JUST chainsaw, and eating him only erased Pochita as a being and whatever he actually was whether its a merging of two devils or a dif devil

@zebe66 chainsaws can be made easier nowadays, but a new chiansaw devil wont be pochita

we literally saw nuclear weapons get recreated after erasure

@Uh_spunj @20thCBoi @glitchshay Just a memory, he still has the disease so its his og heart

@20thCBoi @glitchshay >Pochita was reborn in Denji's heart

#csm232 saving asa(‘s life from going downhill) by letting go of chainsaw man or something

@The_Plague_Man @livedlegacy @kjsenthusiast_ @20thCBoi @glitchshay His inception is different though, if his origin being for multiple uses is why he can devour devils and erase them then that power doesnt exist anymore. So hed be a normal chainsaw with little to no fear

@livedlegacy @kjsenthusiast_ @20thCBoi @glitchshay Idk if they require fear so much as that makes their presence stronger, the concept of Chainsaw Man could’ve been invented by Asa right there, Pochita could be back, but without his strength and most if not all of his abilities

@EthicalHype @13_d347h @ChasCogan74605 @glitchshay Denji says it probably is the same as what killed his mom, but its healed by pochita immediately in the series so its never expanded at all.

@13_d347h @ChasCogan74605 @glitchshay I buy that, I just don’t remember it being established he had the same disease as his mum. If it is actually a thing I’ve just forgotten though then yeah, I don’t doubt Power fixed it or whatever caused him to cough up blood (usually lung conditions but artistic license goes brr)

@JustAndrey11 @ChasCogan74605 @glitchshay In fairness this is him not indebted and after he killed his dad (repressed the memories) and Power claims she can heal his heart. So he definitely is better off than the og timeline

@ChasCogan74605 @glitchshay the fact he actually was better off like that 😭

@csmtalko There are no major unresolved plot points, its not a lie to defend that. Whether you like the resolutions is another matter, P3 is still very much welcome and its still not conclusively over to me yet. Just a "the end" without anything else is a bit odd, who knows

“Most characters weren’t explored well, there are major unresolved plot points, and unanswered questions but that’s the point!” How we’ve fallen from grace man, if you’re okay with this as the series ending I think it’s cope, we don’t have to lie to defend Fujimoto

@ignoblepalm @estrodiol This is a very real critique I share too despite liking the direction, it would work infinitely better if Denji became more aware of his faults and was shown being unable to fix them before this. Weve seen him regret his sex addiction but not much past that

@estrodiol I think the reason why that continues to be uninteresting to me is because there's no real accountability to it. Pochita lets Denji go through all that while being blamed for it and when Pochita shows up again everything is magically fixed without any consequence. +

people think denji didn't earn this happy ending when the story talks to the screen and says all this shit happened to him because he was forced to be chainsaw man by virtue of being alive

@ShaiapoufLuvr @JaJa89608200 I mean Gon not wanting the knowledge doesnt mean we never get that knowledge Like in JJK chapter 1 Yuji dismisses learning about his family but we eventually learn, especially if theories like Gon being a Ging clone or made of Nen are on the money then we will get answers

@JaJa89608200 I think people are just really curious about it

I feel like if you're pissed about Gon not waiting to hear about his "real" mom then you simply didn't understand what that scene was about. If you understand it logically and are still bothered then I assume you didn't understand it emotionally. Idc.

@AugustRaven Obv a theory thats been around for a while but its always made sense even now

@AugustRaven Hes a devil born out of other devils fear of being erased/forgotten, or some mix/hybrid of a chainsaw devil and that same fear. I would imagine the former only because chainsaws still exist, but its possible eating Pochita just erased POCHITA as a being and not the two devils

So like Denji used a Chainsaw Power made a Chainsaw Asa knew what Chainsaws are What devil IS Pochita?

@kelele77 @pissvortex Idk his first dreams are about a GF and hugs and cuddling, he only becomes actually obsessed with just sex post-Makima grooming and Himenos abuse

@pissvortex Even saying "without the expectation of sex" is kind of a misinterpretation of Denji ngl He was a pervert at first, but it became increasingly bad with the grooming and mental damage and all that. He's now just a touch-starved teen who'll grow up out of it normally

Part 2 is kind of like 100+ chapters of “Here’s what would happen if Denji didn’t learn his lesson wouldn’t that be fucked up” and then shows him butterfly effect saving the entire world in one page by just being nice to Asa without the expectation of sex in return

@SeriouslyUToo @pissvortex @DontLikeCollege This particular incident would spiral into world ending, so yes that is how it works

@pissvortex @DontLikeCollege Thats no how saving the world works

@SneakEasyArt @UltimaPhoenix @shitelorr @Emoanaida This is true, but nobody will give you the time of day when its the current hot topic to shit on CSM.

@UltimaPhoenix @shitelorr @Emoanaida It's actually adorable when you guys actually think literally every single new manga is, miraculously, the worst ever (until the next)

tried to pull off a stone ocean ending and ended up with reheated tokyo revengers nachos

@verychilldubsk @SpoonCarNG @orukaa @regularaugust Still possible to develop those feelings naturally but it wont be unhealthy escapism like in P2

@verychilldubsk @SpoonCarNG @orukaa @regularaugust Yeah I just meant his desire was warped by his experiences. He can have those connections now with Power instead of it being warped by thoughts of "i could have sex with her", which he had even though he wasnt even really attracted to her in P1

Chainsaw man is a battle shonen that’s also about working towards your dreams, but about a guy realizing those dreams can’t be achieved by being the main character
