underrated duo imo 👌 powerful sibling energy

When did you start to believe Luffy?

lots of characters in one piece distrust Luffy at first because they're convinced no one could behave the way he does without some kind of ulterior motive. normally, later on, there's a specific moment where these characters will realize "damn ig he genuinely is just that kind and trusting and ambitious, etc."

i had a similar experience when i started one piece and started wondering if anyone else had as well. so, if you did:

kishibe asks denji "which side are you on, human or devil?"

"the side that will take care of me."

reze asks "will you run away with me to the country?"

"can't i stay here where there's good food and friends and still see you?"

yoshida says "if you turn into chainsaw man again public safety will kill nayuta"

"my new dream is to be chainsaw man"

asa says "kill me so i can save you"

"we'll make our own world"

okay so yeah maybe he's a tiny bit selfish

thinking more abt how denji always chooses the secret third option when presented with a choice between two things.

i feel as though i didn't realize up until now that those decisions were kind of selfish in a way. in my mind, before now, choosing the third option made sense, especially when denji is put in so many unfair situations. from what i've consumed, normally "choosing the third option" ends up being the unexpected solution that works/solves the protagonists problems, but not in chainsaw man.

"whichever side takes care of me" boy neither side wants to take care of you 😭😭😭

"we'll make our own world" denji then proceeded to create hell on earth.

i'm not 100% sure what fujimoto wants us to take away from this particular aspect of csm, and maybe i'm getting ahead of myself, but here's a few interpretations on my mind: that choices made by ignorance or arrogance never work out well. or maybe it's that life is unfair sometimes and you gotta deal with it anyway. that you gotta be realistic to a degree when opposed by adversity.

hmmmm. adding onto that, i think denji and yoru parallel each other in a lot of ways with the whole "superhero" schtick. specifically after denji starts to identify himself as such. in the sense that both lose sense of reality when they are fighting. denji thinks he can turn into chainsaw man and somehow solve everything through fighting, even though that's what gets nayuta killed and it's what leads to the horrible situation after death is eaten. yoru thinks with enough power/strength that she can beat chainsaw man and somehow that will make her satisfied/happy. she's willing to sacrifice her "children" to gain an advantage, happy to destroy everything asa holds dear, no restraint or forethought. gah. idk just thoughts
