Chainsaw Man 128 'Early' Analysis
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HE'S FINALLY BACK THE GREATEST CHARACTER NEVER SHOWN
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I gotta back up
Chapter starts with a pretty fucking funny scene. Continuing off the cliff hanger from the previous chapter Asa and Denji are talking about sex.
Going mostly off facial expression it seems like Asa starts to understand Denji's headspace more when it comes to Sex. It also confirms one of my more obvious observations from last chapter. Denji is using sex as a replacement for intimate feelings when talking about his dream. He wants someone to be close to him. Obviously he still wants to have sex. But he doesn't really have a way to put it into works so this is about as good as we're gonna get for now.
Then Asa drops the nuclear fucking warhead.
In one page Denji turned from bitchless to a true incel. It's over millions of devils must die. I really hope that Denji gets a moment later along the lines of "You're wrong, Women love a man with a chainsaw for a head". I haven't forgotten about the chainsaw man fangirls from that chainsaw man thoughts interview.
Obviously Denji and Asa get sent to hell because Denji in unable to cope with the through of being an incel.
I do not like these kinds of dishes where it's basically one thing and then it's just all garnish. Also there's a lack of eyes and ears. So what where those for?
Denji Flees and we get to see how much he's grown since part 1.
We saw this same technique in use when he first fought falling. His body stays active for at least a few seconds when his head is chopped off so he's able to actually reattach his head or use it as a weapon. It's a really neat evolution of his abilities that totally in line with what he can already do. Cause this isn't something part 1 Denji would be able to so casually pull off.
I doubt this has any important but his rip cord appears on the outside of his shirt without it ripping. It isn't like he brought a shirt that had a hole for the cord either because in previous panels it's just blank white. Again probably unimportant.
Denji come on man you're better than this. This is clearly just a joke at least because he's revving up to fight Falling again. Also I'm just now noticing this but Hell looks REALLY difference from the last time we saw it. Remember how it was previously the green field. Now it's just darkness. Is this a subspace within Hell? Did the Hell devil's death at the end of Part 1 result in this? Does the Hell devil control how Hell is? It could just be an unimportant detail but I want some information on it now.
HE'S HERE- actually- How many times has falling been fucking pwnd since her introduction?
Twice in 125
1. Gunfire
Once in 126
3. Denji Again
Once in 128
4. Chainfraud Man
HE'S BACK AND HE'S REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
YARRRRRGGGGGGGGGG
FUCKING INSANE CLUTCH THIS HAS TO BE THE SAME GUY RIGHT?
Let me back up. You're more than aware of the Chainfraud Man theory by now but I'll summarize quickly.
In chapter 111 we see a shadow of someone who looks like Chainsaw Man kill Yuko.
However 2 pages before this we see that Denji is asleep at the time this took place. Meaning this couldn't have been denji.
And that's all we got for actual appearances. Of course theories ran wild of things like:
"Yoshida Octopus Shapeshifting?"
"Chainsaw Man Devil?"
ect
So backing up to chapter 126. I had previously theorized this to be Yoshida. However it appears that this guy was in fact Chainfraud Man the entire time.
It also means Denji knows who this is. Well if he's smart enough to put two and two together. Which I doubt. Now depending on what happens at the beginning of 127 Chainfraud Man could potentially have one of the best feats so far. More than likely Falling will just regenerate and slam this dude. But if she doesn't then-
Cause he sliced her head in half. If this will actually do anything is yet to be seen. God this panel is so fucking COOL
HE'S SO FUCKING COOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE CHARACTER
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH
Ahem
Chainfraud Man is more than likely a new character who we haven't seen before. It could potentially be Yoshida but the odds of that are diminishing rapidly. So whoever this guy is really is the greatest. I do wonder if "Evade them until sunrise" is literal or metaphorical. Like will falling's attack cease once the sun literally rises? Or is it a metaphorical one piece sun rise where they have to beat falling for the sun to rise?
If it's literal it'll probably be because Falling couldn't get the main dish in time for the "meal". Aka she couldn't meet her deadline.
Great Chapter.
