I haven’t seen anyone talking about this. And imo. This is one of the most important shots of the whole video.

I keep seeing people say how crazy Mizi is and how innocent Sua was in comparison, but that’s just not true. I adore both Mizi and Sua, by the way. This isn’t criticism of either of them. But you can’t ignore what Sua does here if you want an accurate portrayal of their relationship in this world.

When Mizi becomes an idol, she’s manufactured into a sex symbol, crafted into something that can appeal to the male gaze despite how we KNOW she’s a lesbian. Specifically, we can see how Mizi’s breasts are often framed promiscuously to further her objectification:

So this shot where Sua finds Mizi, tied up and helpless, incoherent, and the first thing she does is frame an unaware Mizi’s breasts as if in a photoshoot—bitterly, ironically, before relief takes over—it goes to show something major about Mizisua’s relationship in both the ALNST and ZOMST verse.

In ALNST, Sua enables Mizi’s infantilization (something often levied against women in a misogynistic context) of herself by keeping Mizi “in the dark” (although Mizi is more aware than either of them want to acknowledge). People rightfully criticize Till for his innocent vision of Mizi to comfort himself with, but Sua has a version of Mizi in her head that she uses to comfort herself, too. She and Till aren’t incredibly different in this regard.

In ZOMST, this translates not to infantilization, but to objectification. Sua is bitter over Mizi’s decision to let the industry use her in this way, she’s disgusted by it, but then she wields it herself when Mizi is finally helpless and incapable of pushing Sua away again by miming taking a photo of Mizi’s breasts.

Mizi is objectified in ZOMST by everyone: the industry, herself, the crowd, and even the person she loves the most.

"Fuck the United States of America” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

"She's right," they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 2nd row stands: Tatsuki Fujimoto

I absolutely adore the fact that every Aki fight scene has so much weight.

There’s so much tension, so much force, as you can feel the weight of the katana dragging him down. A constant reminder of his mortality.

His actions are methodical and swift. He’s aware he’s not super human. He can’t rely on regeneration.

When you compare the animation style of his scenes compared to Denji vs Bomb for example, the animation in the latter is more fluid, more rough.

It’s a barely noticeable detail, but it adds to his character so well.

CSM ANALYSIS PT 1

(Just a messy very angrily written rant on how people perceive Denji. Will be going into detail in later analyses)

The people who call Chainsaw Man a gooner anime genuinely lack any kind of reading comprehension skills whatsoever. These are the type of people who disregard subtext and have no concept of ‘show, don't tell. It astounds me that people like that exist.

It's one of the only anime I've ever watched that actually discusses and explores love and physical intimacy from the lens of a hypersexual teenage boy which isn't just fan service. These sexual scenes aren't just there to cater to the male gaze but actually are used as a tool for Denji to understand the complexity of love. 

This is shown so well with his interactions with Power. Every time he has promiscuous moments with Power he’s unable to actually feel something towards her. After the bathroom scene, he has no physical attraction towards her, and every scene after that just further pushes the narrative that they’re simply meant to be seen through a non-sexual light (Whether it’s platonic or some sort of romance is left to the reader’s understanding).

Denji learns from his relationship with Power that love isn't just confined to having physical intimacy. He realizes sex isn't the only way to feel connected and cared for by others.

Even the swimming pool with Reze can be seen this way. While yes, it is certainly intended to be sexual, it's a genuine moment of  connection between Denji and Reze. This is what he craves. Connection. 

Thank you so much for reading!
