Log of my rewatch of Chainsaw Man now that I've read the manga, lesssssgooooo.
Chapter 1
Spoilers ahead!

1. The door was there from the very beginning, THE DOOR WAS ALWAYS THERE.
2. I have this thought that Denji found Pochita right after his last fight with Makima and that's why he was so small and hurt and apparently weak.
3. Still can't get over that his dream was to have some jam with his bread.
4. All during the zombie attack he's protecting and holding Pochita. My heart can't take it.
5. He offered his body and life to Pochita unprovoked because he loves him.
6. When he wakes up he's just really sad Pochita's gone.
7. Denji being in an existencial crisis about him dreaming for more and then going absolutely berserk gives me life.
8. Idk how Makima didn't lose it the second she saw Denji as Chainsaw Man, could it be because of the smell that she didn't fully recognise him?
9. The music they play when she first embraces him as he's fainting, so nice, peaceful and comforting after all the bloodshed Makima's manipulation started right there both for Denji and the audience.
10. Makima, despite literally saying he can either die or be his pet, holds him in a very nurturing even maternal way, making Denji (& us) think that despite seeming a bit harsh she can be caring and loving. She tricked us from the very start!
