I know this is an unpopular opinion but it genuinely pisses me off when I continuously see Denji and Power described as siblings with no room for other interpretations of their relationship dynamic. I don’t even necessarily ship them but people get real mad when you imply that their relationship could be anything but siblings despite the narrative straight up showing you otherwise. Yeah, Makima describes Aki as Denji’s older brother and Power as “the bratty little sister” but that’s only the dynamic that Makima has set up in her head.

They’re family, yes. That much is undeniable. They love each other. In what way? I truly believe it is something far beyond romantic or platonic. Something that is deeper than that and combines aspects of both and is simultaneously its own thing entirely. Denji and Power bicker, pull pranks with each other, and may argue and then make up in a way that is “sibling-like,” but they also continuously have intimate and even sexual encounters with each other that siblings do not have. In the last weeks that they spend together, Denji showers, bathes, and sleeps with Power every day. He doesn’t merely sit in the bathroom with her or even just help her bathe—he sits in the tub with his back against it and Power resting on his chest, both of them naked. They engage in pseudo-sex via Power asking Denji to drink her blood and it is the first and ONLY time in chainsaw man that Denji is given agency over an intimate encounter, where he is on top and controlling the situation and able to think clearly and ruminate on his situation.

He says that this intimacy “doesn’t feel naughty at all” and he as a sixteen year old boy doesn’t have the capacity to understand yet that not all intimacy is meant to feel “naughty,” especially with someone you love, care about, have deep feelings for, know intimately. He recognizes there is something different about his relationship with Power but he doesn’t have the life experience to understand what that means.

I need people to understand there are more ways to love someone than strictly romantic, platonic, or familial and sometimes it’s okay for relationships to be undefined and YOUR personal interpretation of a relationship dynamic is not the only one that matters or the only one that is correct

In the end DenPower shippers got the last laugh

[mojo72400]

Just watched Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc on its premiere's 1st screening at 9/24/25

Was in full gear for the movie.

They served too hard & good w/ this movie adapting the Bomb Girl arc which is my favorite arc of the manga.

The music & animation were S-tier.

Spoilers below:

I love how during the imagine spot, they had a close up ass shot of Power in those white panties.

They made the scene where Aki wrapped his arms around Angel after sacrificing 2 months of his life to save him gayer than the manga.

The way Denji & Power exchanged eye contact in the post credits a bit longer than in the manga made the scene a little more romantic especially since Denji actually considered giving Power the bouquet meant for Reze.

I love how Reze's dropped the dynamite from her apron in the river of Typhoon Devil's blood.

I love the quickdraw duel w/ Denji & Reze in the finale of the battle.

Reze has a cute pout & when she sticks her tongue. Same applies to Power in the imagine spot. Beam explaining about Denji's powers was cute & funny also.

The cartoonish sound effects given to Denji & Beam as they flopped around inside the building they were thrown in & the horse noises from Beam when he acted as Denji's trusty steed.

I love the manga styled dream of Denji during the intro.

I'm happy they made Reze's fight w/ Aki a bit longer than the one in the manga. I love how he used the katana's reflection to signal his attack on Reze.

The foreshadowing of Kobeni working at Family Burger when she dropped a burger during the OP. Violence totally bought her another one because he cares about her.

I was offended when Angel threw away the cone after a few bites instead of finishing it like in the manga version. So that scene in the movie was in the park instead of the city sidewalk in the manga.

The scene where the Mysterious Man killed a woman offscreen was definitely an anime only scene.

I love the additional animation of the cigarettes spilling out of the cigarette pack to show that Aki quit smoking & didn't throw the pack away because he's out of cigarettes. I also love the detail of Kishibe offering Aki a cigarette & him not even moving to show he's done w/ smoking.

Power not wanting to work & having to be dragged by Denji & Aki to work during the OP was funny & cute.

They actually kept Reze being initially bottomless during the 2nd Division attack before wearing panties as she presented the vice captain & Nomo's heads to the occupants of Aki's car.

I love how they played ED 3 during the start of Reze & Denji's fight & even extended it. I want a full version of that song.

Nomo's strong enough to tank a headless Reze body bomb wrapped around his body & only lose his right arm in the process.

Vice Captain & Nomo's reaction to the Fox Devil bailing on them after hating Reze's taste was hilarious.

The reaction to Denji eating the flower & the montage of Denji & Makima's theater hopping & Makima's movie critiques were hilarious.

I'm surprised they didn't show the dying Devil Hunter's head being impaled by Aki as he was being mercy killed by him.

So the Futamichi cafe is called Crossroads in the film. Is that what it means in English?

I wasn't surprised they took out Reze's nipples since MAPPA removed any nipples from Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.

The OP is longer than usual anime movie OPs.

denpower week day 1: denji and the blood devil | @denpowerweek

[bluedeepandorange]

I just want to say, to all of my fellow DenPower fans. Congratulations guys, we won!!! ＼(≧▽≦)／

But, to be serious for a moment. This honestly is a really sad revelation. That Denji only wanted to have sex with Yoru because she reminded him of Power. Which, granted, isn't that big of a surprise. Denji admited that Asa reminded him of Power as well.

But, it is kind of crushing to realize just how much Power meant to him. This is kinda bittersweet as a DenPower fan. Like on one hand, finally definitive proof Denji did NOT see Power as a little sister. But on the other, damn my favorite boy is broken. (ಡ‸ಡ)

Not to mention the actual plot kicking into high gear again. Plus there's still the tiny detail that Denji's gonna die if he actually fails to bring back Power because of their contract.

Just... damn. Power, when you come back, make sure to hug our boy!!! (￣^￣)ゞ
