CSM #181 SPOILERS

It's so interesting to see Yoru like this again, so pathetic. Especially so soon after her show of power and dominance in the last few chapters. She's been completely overtaken, literally rendered powerless.

So, she takes her frustration out on Denji, indulging herself in him. She's genuinely attracted to Denji, whether due to Asa's feelings bleeding through, or her own. And it seems like she gets off on taking what she wants from him, on having power over him, like previously when she literally had his balls in her hands. Him being Chainsaw Man probably has a lot to do with that.

She's covering up her insecurities over being powerless, by abusing Denji. It's awful of her, pathetic and more than a little sad.

CSM #174 Spoilers

Turns out that the Aging Devil might be a mistranslation and the Japanese government isn't making the insanely stupid decision to end the concept of aging.

Credit to Reddit user u/DutifulCleric over on the CSM subreddit for pointing out that it could be the Old Age Devil instead which is a very different thing.

Getting it eaten won't stop people from aging, just from getting old. And now it makes sense why it wants 10,000 children to die in front of it, it wants to see youth die.

This might also not be a solely selfish decision by the old wrinkly ass higher ups, or more likely, Public Safety is using the higher ups selfishness to achieve their goal. The fear of getting old is a big part of the fear of dying. If life lost that inevitability, the Death Devil would lose a lot of its strength.

Why would they want the concept of ears to be erased...?

I guess that's an important question that might be answered in the future but. Do you have any theories?

We kinda already know the why. It has to do with the Prophecy.

Yoshida and Barem have made it clear that their goal is to stop the prophesied end of humanity by defeating the "Great King of Terror" who's confirmed to be the final horseman, the Death Devil. Barem specifically stated his direct goal is to kill this "King".

So maybe they know about what Death can do and they're prepping by erasing certain concepts that will help deal with it and make her easier to kill.

Why the ears specifically?

No clue. I can't even begin to imagine what Death can do. Like, maybe by erasing ears, people won't be affected by Death's influence somehow 🤷

CSM #172 SPOILERS

Why the fuck would they be sending up fodder like the Ear Devil up against Chainsaw Man? Who the hell is afraid of ears? Did they want people to lose their ears?

Probably, yes

I believe they served up those devils so that those specific associated concepts are erased, on purpose. In #170, Barem made it clear that his and Public Safety's goal with Denji was to get him to do just that.

So they got those guys chopped up,

And then hurt CSM to get him to start eating to recover.

It's like a fucked up version of the sushi conveyor belt Barem was talking about in #170. That ended with heads being served up, too.

This is all according to plan. If my theory is right, the names of those fodder devils just became very very important.

CSM #168 SPOILERS

Denji getting the sexual gratification that he thought he wanted, being denied the love that he desperately needed and subsequently feeling broken and used for the gazillionth time.

[poop-benedict]

CSM #164 SPOILERS

Denji suggesting sushi of all things had to be on purpose.

Fish is the one thing he knows she can't eat, and watching her struggle to eat it was the first time they really connected. He must be recalling their first date and is testing her with it.

CSM #138 SPOILERS

It's the same guy, so the hybrids didn't all die after Pochita bodied them and Denji killed Makima. Then Reze, Quanxi and Katana Man are definitely still around.

Though it sounds like their memories are erased? At least their memories of being under Makima's control.

CSM #137 SPOILERS

Okay so she's possibly the craziest girl we've met so far. And seemingly human too? She's molested him, humiliated him and led him in to the most obvious trap in human history.

But she's right. He looks like he's having the most fun we've seen from him in a while. Almost like Pre-timeskip. She gets some points from me for that much.

Also apparently the stupid fucking song she's singing is a real one by Maximum the Hormone(ofc it's them). The chapter title is the song name and it's actually a real bop. I can totally see this fight scene going well with it in an anime adaptation.

Of course, it’s possible to choose both….

CSM #127 SPOILERS

Once again, Asa falls(heh) like a sack of bricks for anyone able to understand her, and validate her feelings/world view.

Loving the character consistency.

Also, I know people saw this asaden moment coming from a mile away, but the holding each other in midair thing directly appeals to me. It reminds me so much of Patema Inverted, one of my all time favourites.

[sugar-grigri]

I'll be the first to kill to defend Asa but PLEASE don't take away her pretty flaws... she can show pride or even look down on you, is inconsistent and contradictory... that's what makes her so cool!

Sorry but Denji seems to be the first one to appreciate them.

Asaden fan, let's agree... these two will fall in love with each other's flaws.

Whether it's the fact that she continually mopes and is complicated and stubborn about not wanting to eat fish. The fact that she has an overconfident outburst after Denji tells her she's fun. All of this doesn't bother him but seems to please him.

Sitting in the water with her, and offering to eat the animal she described to him for long minutes. It's not only romantic, but it also means Denji is paying attention to what she's saying or doing even if it's wrong.

"Have you ever tried starfish?". This is what Denji says to Asa who is moping about not being good enough, who regrets having wasted this date and being a failure.

The starfish are not only the strong core of their date, a bad moment that connects them.

But the starfish are also a symbol of Asa's willingness to do the right thing. This is not what Denji wanted to see, as he was more interested in the penguins.

But starfish are interesting

Denji continues to be the most unhinged thing in manga

[poop-benedict]

CSM #124 SPOILERS

So, unless a Denji ex Machina comes in to save the day, Yoru will have to overcome Asa's trauma and really connect with her in order to beat the Falling Devil's influence. Might be easier to just die, honestly.

Also, either Falling is using "fusion" as a food term here, or the Asa/Yoru situation might really be different from being a fiend or hybrid.

These two dumbasses are built the goddamn same

They're so cute. They're perfect for each other.

Not only is Asa not dodging the femcel allegations...

...she's diving headfirst into them.
