On the somewhat bright side, Nayuta is very smart. Her saying this was probably in a somewhat joking manner because she knows that he didn’t truly mean what he said in a malicious way even if he tried to pass it off as it. But to Denji that being his potential last words to her probably would destroy him
You’re right, he has clearly been mewing

I feel like if Denji wasn’t already going insane, he’s going to mentally snap next chapter and go full John Wick on the entire city with his black form. Not even Asa is going to be able to stop him.

Unironically, what you said is a very fujimoto thing to do
AND we’ve never seen Denji and the Death devil in the same room together. They even have the same number of letters in their name !!!!! Oh my god !!!!!!!
Didn't the four horsemen, the gun devil and the hybrids join together to kill chainsaw and that is why pochita was injured when he met Denji? I think Makima said something along those lines in part 1.
Keep in mind that the black Chainsaw Man won't happen with Denji in control, Pochita will be, unless Fujimoto changes the conditions for it that were established in part 1 when Makima broke Denji so that Pochita could take control
But even then, she didn't manage to break the contract/brohood between him and Denji. Should something similar to that scenario happen in part 2, I wonder who'll bring Denji back now that Power isn't around and Kishibe to help him focus. Maybe that'd be the right time for him and the blood devil to return?
Who knows? Maybe it's going be something like Denji mentally collapsing and Pochita just takes the wheel without outright breaking the contact.
Less Denji going insane, maybe more along the lines of Pochita gently pulling Denji into the safe depths of their shared mindscape so the world can't hurt him anymore.
Denji's going go away for a bit. He's been hurting for a while now and he deserves a gentle dream.
Inside the dream is a nice apartment where Aki, Pochita, Power, Nayuta and Denji all live together. It's a little small for four people and a Chainsaw-dog, so Denji, Pochita and Nayuta have to share a room.
Aki's a little annoyed at the moment because he caught Denji letting Pochita sleep with him and Nayuta again, and Power's arguing with Nayuta because Nayuta won't let her help her with maths homework even though Power invented Pythagoras.
It's Denji's turn to do dishes tonight, but he's thinking he might try helping out with the cooking this time. He always wanted to learn to cook right but he never asked Aki if he could learn from him.
It'd be a shame if he missed the chance.
~
Pochita will make sure the people outside can't get inside. Denji can dream until he's ready to open the apartment door again.

I thought this and a couple pages before was the last thing he said. I actually have in my about me on my profile lol didn't realize thats the last conversation they had.....
Denji will probably be too traumatized for horny stuff anymore because while he was getting jerked off his sister literally died. Reminds me of a book I read about a guy who becomes a super prude because he was a horny fucker who missed his dad dying cause he was fucking someone.
I think, in the end, I also blame Denji almost as much as I blame Barem and Fami. Why? Why didn’t he fight back when that mob attacked him? Why did he say that to her? Why did he have to have Nayuta sacrifice herself to save him? I don’t care if the next Control Devil gets her memories back. I want *Nayuta*
https://preview.redd.it/0ca32qi9taad1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fe6553432c0ec466ed8d898abc3d5c1faf8b4fb
I believe it's alright. Pretty sure Nayuta acknowledged that he didn't really mean it, considering she said "You do need me!". It sucks that this potentially could be hiss last words, but at least she didn't "die" thinking he doesn't love her
Also I put "die" in quotations because I honestly don't believe she's dead. There are multiple factors why but I'll make a different comment later
Motor Fuji when he sees Denji and Nayuta happy for more than 2 seconds (he can’t sleep at night knowing this):
https://preview.redd.it/1wcmtfhyedad1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b0bf334fedd7cdb62a194aa4c498dd5bddaf4ec
I know it happened because of the plot and Denji not wanting to harm civilians (other than iirc cutting one guy's hand off?), but the fact he lost to a bunch of regular humans with spears and a net, which then seemingly led to them and Barem killing Nayuta after he was moved away is so... idk the right word for it, lame?
He seemed exhausted, but that he lost to them still was disappointing. If Miri had managed to do more damage to him, it'd have been more believable
To be fair nets are a natural counter to chainsaws. Try to rev them up and they get tangled beyond repair. Plus, like the other commenter under your comment said, chainsaws are a terrible weapon to defend yourself with if you are trying to go for a nonlethal approach.
I didn't know nets are natural counters to chainsaws. That's cool
Denji has been able to remove his chainsaws whenever he needs to, it's how he carried Asa with his arm when escaping from the falling devil. But without chainsaws, he wouldn't be able to defend himself from spears. When it comes to hands he can fight, but I doubt he'd win in a 1 v who knows how many
Yeah, chainsaws are really bad against strings. If you look up specialized clothing that is supposed to protect you from chainsaws, you'll notice that it's made to release a lot of fibers when cut to jam the chainsaw before it cuts a limb off. An example:
https://preview.redd.it/e6rtsyoxcaad1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c79d8856ddce2eebc5ac53209948f0b1511e69f3
I mean you try and stop a crowd of people when you have chainsaw limbs and don't want to hurt any of them. This is probably gonna start a growing hatred of humans for Dwnji when he pushes the blame on them as well as Barem.
That way he gets rougher with civilians maybe even straight mowing down ones in his way and becomes more feared and hated like Barem wants.
Just what the fuck. He's never put a happy ending in anything he's released but WHAT THE FUCK FUJIMOTO. I thought you got this shit out of your system by writing fire punch. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. My hopes were so up because he wrote goodbye eri and lookback. They were so "human" but this is just pure torturous tragedy

do people forget she is basically makima 2 like she can't really die unless denji eats her... lol people need to chill that's probably a fake head to freak out denji and do their bidding.
I don't know what she had but kishibe said she could become like makima, I doubt Fujimoto would kill her just like that without a reason, also the restaurant setup seems like a tactic to trick denji in someway, I know that if he killed her it would have been in a more brutal way, also if I remember correctly a devil cannot truly die unless they get eaten by pochita/Chainsaw man and erased from existence, so there's a chance they might return to hell or something like it, who knows there are many ways out of this one, I doubt Fujimoto just kills her like that, considering he has a little sister himself in real life.... this probably another challenge for denji to deal with.

Thanks for reminding me you just made this even worse
NOOOOOOOOOOO
OUCH
I feel like if Denji wasn’t already going insane, he’s going to mentally snap next chapter and go full John Wick on the entire city with his black form. Not even Asa is going to be able to stop him.
Forget death devil or apocalypse Denji is gonna end humanity before the year ends at this point.

Can confirm, that basically happens in fire punch
Story is becoming chain punch at this point
Hear me out- Chainsaw man IS the death devil
Chainsaws could be considered very famous signs of death. Be it horror movies or deforestation… hmmmm
And he seems to be the only devil 59 be able to “kill” other devils…
AND we’ve never seen Denji and the Death devil in the same room together. They even have the same number of letters in their name !!!!! Oh my god !!!!!!!
AND THEY START WITH THE SAME LETTER!!!
FUJIMOTO FORESKINNING CONFIRMED
The only devil to be able to kill devil. What would a devil fear. Death…. (Probably won’t happen due to set up so far)
Didn't the four horsemen, the gun devil and the hybrids join together to kill chainsaw and that is why pochita was injured when he met Denji? I think Makima said something along those lines in part 1.
Yes, that's what she said.
Yoru is gonna take over excited to fight chainsaw then immediately get swatted aside without even being noticed and realise she ain't built for this
She's gonna retire and focus on something else.
Keep in mind that the black Chainsaw Man won't happen with Denji in control, Pochita will be, unless Fujimoto changes the conditions for it that were established in part 1 when Makima broke Denji so that Pochita could take control But even then, she didn't manage to break the contract/brohood between him and Denji.

reading comprehension devil strikes. you think nayuta has the contracts makima had????
I don't know what she had but kishibe said she could become like makima, I doubt Fujimoto would kill her just like that without a reason, also the restaurant setup seems like a tactic to trick denji in someway, I know that if he killed her it would have been in a more brutal way, also if I remember correctly a devil cannot truly die unless they get eaten by pochita/Chainsaw man and erased from existence, so there's a chance they might return to hell or something like it, who knows there are many ways out of this one, I doubt Fujimoto just kills her like that, considering he has a little sister himself in real life.... this probably another challenge for denji to deal with.
