Ok my What The Fuck Happened This Chapter synthesis thread Yoshida was killed and/or eaten by Death and turned into one of her pawns, then given the role of being the on switch/trigger of whatever plan she has against Yoru. She did this because Yoshida cannot be harmed or killed by Denji nor Yoru.

Like I have always known that Yoshida is cooked on some level, he's just a soft human in the apocalypse of the Chainsaw Man world trapped in an organization that demands sacrifice BUT I'm still gutted? What was I expecting, exactly?

bombs sent to denji by others who cared nothing for their humanity, only wishing for a world where they could’ve had a peaceful school life with him

Feeling so sick irl

Wonder what’s up with apocalypse sisters getting wired when Yoshida shows up #csm213

the intentional lack of sexual leveraging in their relationship

i really do love how unsubtle fujimoto is in his political messaging. no metaphors no beating around the bush just panels of charred corpses with the american antham being played over it.

#csm204 #chainsawman It's Seigi Akokover.

So she was LARPING???

#chainsawman Re: vol 20 inside cover, we get the sense that Asa is relegated to the role of observer. Together with the front cover this paints a new picture: the transition from past to present. Asa is displaced, dismembered (for a time), and the city is devastated. Past Asa was +

I've always thought that even if she was being specific as a means of convincing nayuta to her side, the core of it all was entirely honest- she really was just doing all of this to preserve the pleasures of humanity. To me, her rejection of public safety was recognition that

Death devil? Loser looking ass devil (I love her)

i've been saying from the start! fami is totally honest with what she actually desires out of this. she's a foil to makima in that regard, someone who kept her true motive secret until the very end

Heart of glass

#csm194 #chainsawman Bet you a million dollars he's thinking back to when he and Denji cut class and went to the movies...sulking Yoshida kicking my ass

Man I tried the first chapter of that "Kirei na Kimi ni Korosaretai" and can't say I recommend it at all

#csm194 #chainsawman 🧵Revisiting this thought in light of chapter 194. Fami preferring her nickname over "Famine", working against the "age of devils"...Fami's human-favouring trait has been spelled out for us. She lives to savor HUMAN experiences in particular, seeking to preserve the age of +

that’s the power of yoshida on the cover baby. face card has no credit limit never gets declined can buy ANYTHING

Makima was the embodiment of the post-911 neoliberal surveillance state. Yoru is the embodiment of the fascist military state that emerges from the collapse of the liberal state as it falls to contradictions. And thus, she is Makima, but worse.

#csm193 Kino panelling here as well. Love how she encroaches on him with every point she makes.

#csm193 #chainsawman Oof, the empty chair included in this panel. Asa's absence is truly felt here.

he tried to end it by giving up and letting pochita kill him after forcing him to vomit ear (which why pochita ate him rather than kill him) change my mind

Does seem relevant that both times yoshida says the things most egregiously contradictory to everything he’s tried to do for and say to denji, fumiko is in the frame and subtly looking at him from the side. almost as if she’s monitoring him, in a way that feels a lot like this moment from 156

Happy new year!!!

#csm188 #chainsawman If Yoshida was spit out when Denji requested a useful devil in a chapter titled "Octopus, War, Chainsaw" what does this say about his identity? We also know for a fact that Octopus was consumed. Why did Aging refer to him as a human?

#csm188 and notice how yoshida is the only one who’s ever considered denji’s consent during physical interactions, asking before he does things or refusing when the activities would be nonconsensual

gay people love calling temporary truces while they escape other dimensions #csm188

thinking about csm part 2 as a story about the rise of fascism and how yoshida’s words here are a direct reflection of the average citizen’s reaction to that rise. I see hate for him coming because a lot of people do not want to believe they are yoshida. but they are. the majority of us are. 🧵

#csm188 A really valuable look into yoshida’s thought process here and one I’ve been imagining he has for a long time. The belief that he is inescapably of a world different from denji and asa and that appeasement to its demands is the only reasonable way he can stay alive.

#csm188 #chainsawman The circumstances that brought them back together are so funny to me. Peak trio.

Framing Yoshida as the bear is also really interesting to me as it brings to mind the country vs town concept present throughout all of csm. Yoshida values a normal life and I think this can be likened to life in the country based on how this binary was first presented to us./

#csm188 Adding to this, his people/bear binary recontextualizes this scene for me. Convincing Denji to, in his words "live as a human" is akin to convincing Denji to remain in the same world as him.

#csm188 #chainsawman Where to start...Fascinated by the binaries Yoshida frames things in. Allies vs. enemies, people vs. bears. I think in spite of this, his cheery disposition here can be attributed to the fact that in this suspended realm, he can suspend his title. I truly believe his/

pochita made him make good on his promise, even when he said he wouldn’t be able to do so anymore. denji needed help, so who else to call but the guy who promised it?

just saying that refusing to open doors that have incredibly distressing and self-perception changing realizations behind them is a key point of denji’s character. could the closet door not be one of them.

Just being able to see all the crazy ways she ignites herself (as well as her limbs reconstituting themselves) is so fucking hype to me

They used her rocket-torpedo-missile arm on the uppercut instead here but added exhaust and it looks so fucking good dude (in the manga she doesn't get to use it before Violence interrupts)

In this medium you can experience the movement and sound (eventually) that accompanies the Typhoon Devil in a new way. The pressure is really palpable here!

Something really distinctive about the bomb arc to me is that tonal shift from strictly coming-of-age romance to action, and this is reflected so well in the sound design here. The piano music degrades, the colours shift in temperature, followed by eerie silence. Suddenly,

So much there's so much. Like can I breathe for one second. In the manga, Reze beckons with outstretched hands that extend beyond the panel. Here, the absence of music and haunting quality to Reina Ueda's voice draw you in just the same.

#csm187 #chainsawman this is it y'all it'll be octopus we're so back

OHHHH THE MISERY

Arcane more like Arkino
