they changed Megumi trying to grab Reggie's balls

Interesting blue lock chapter. I feel like Ego is too stuck in the striker mentality. Some of what he says makes sense, but this part completely falls apart considering that people like Niko and Hiori are also standing on the field, whose egos just don't revolve around being a striker anymore.

It's insane how big Hugo is. Loki is a tall guy and he just towers over him.

FACT: Fujimoto decided to end Chainsaw Man because he couldn't stand having to work without Gege

it's so insane to do this with your breakthrough shonen jump series, a normal author would keep this kind of story direction to a one-shot #csm231

Denji was only happy when the story and conflict hadn't started yet, levels of metacommentary not seen since...nothing honestly I don't think Fujimoto has ever written like this #csm231

Fujimoto decided to fully commit to the bit and removed all stakes #csm231

what the hell is this chapter this comes so out of nowhere #csm231

csm chapter 231 bingo card

I should've seen this one coming

these two are such a mess

ok

Was this setup for Denji selectively forgetting things to fit his current worldview and desires?

What makes this one worse is that Asa didn't just say Yoru is dangerous, she specifically said she wanted her body back.

my god this manga is so gay

we should do "x is the only person who loves Denji for who he really is" discourse again but it's about Yoru this time #csm230

I love how the Fumikos have a big house that they all share, they probably all wear numbers or flags on their clothes during gatherings to prevent confusion #csm230

either Denji has the worst memory in human history and forgot about this whole deal or he's convinced Yoru is safe enough to let into their world now, I'm choosing to believe in the second option #csm230

god Fujimoto is ridiculously good at drawing facial expressions, especially with Asa and Yoru #csm230

Well Asa is back in control now so if she wants to give commentary on her consent she can do so next chapter (or the next time they're not busy fighting for their lives). As for if she did or not, I don't know. There's a bunch of conflicting plot threads that could make it go either way. #csm230

this whole sequence feels so part 1 #csm230

Is she looking at Asa here? #csm230

Don’t know if I’m onto something but the bird that thinks only happy thoughts then cutting to Denji…hmmmm

This is a callback. Bucky wanted to give Asa a chance at a social life even though she was completely isolated. Now Denji wants to give Yoru another chance (I think???) despite all her actions. #csm229

chapter 229 bingo card

She really does not care anymore

This is probably a retcon but the rest of the chapter was good so I can forgive it #csm228

The only new thing this chapter is Asa taking over for more than a second. I guess we'll see if Yoru did that on purpose. #csm227

Another whatever chapter #csm227

great we're bringing more horrors into the world, mass casualties from locusts eating people next chapter #csm226

Ocean devil? Suffocation/drowing maybe? #csm225

this whole fight is a skit now

My take on Asa asexuality discourse is that it is a fun and very interesting reading of her character that is probably outdated at this point.

Happy New Year

that chapter was alright I guess

csm chapter 224 bingo card

I love how Yoru's expressions and poses get more awkward the moment she stops trying to aura farm #csm223

I love morally dubious Denji, literally using the hostage strategy someone else tried on him #csm223

The one time I remove it from the bingo card it happens are you fucking kidding me? #csm223

That chapter was honestly much better than I expected. I was preparing to go full doomer but that was good. I'm glad Fujimoto likes Yoru more than csm fans do. #csm223

csm chapter 223 bingo card

I really don't get what Fujimoto is doing here. He's been baiting us and then telling us Yoru is evil over and over for like 50 chapters now. He almost never lingers on something for this long. What kind of conclusion or twist is he planning? #csm222

Remember guys, Denji wants to make a new world for himself, Pochita and Asa, and now he has the ability to erase concepts. He's gonna make Makima's dream come true. #csm222

God please don't let this be a permanent Denji chainsaw man design #csm222

ok that was kinda nothing, Denji using Yoru's perception-based powers against her was neat though #csm222

what are you guys' theories for next chapter?
