Tumblr media
looking for apples that pair with flesh
Tumblr media
and being so casual and polite leaving with her ingredients for this. It’s so unsettling and wholesome, I love it!

If you haven't done one before, could you do an analysis of Denji's use of sexuality as the only form of love he still has untouched?
Sex and love, two bets Denji wants to take
At first, touching breasts, getting close to a girl, was a way for Denji to fill something he didn't understand. Projecting his lack of relationships, and affection, into what was visible, represented on those posters and magazines, through all those sexual images. Denji is someone who reasons through his senses, his intuitions. For him, pure physical contact was love.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When he loses Pochita for the first time, Denji doesn't immediately place his feelings in the abstract. He's sad, having just lost his family, but physically, organically and symbolically, he remains in his heart, he is his heart. It's only afterwards, as Denji experiments, that he understands the ambivalence of relationships: things don't turn out as we'd hoped, we can even have bad experiences, be violated against our will even when we were convinced we'd get a reward, a pleasant, harmless act.
Tumblr media
Proposing a carnal act is not necessarily an act of kindness; on the contrary, it's often a way of dominating and manipulating the other person. Falling in love and sleeping together isn't as simple as cooking and eating. It's a risk before it's a pleasure.
Tumblr media
Then there was Aki and Power. The symbol of platonic family relationships. For whom Denji didn't realize his attachment until after their loss. To the point of understanding that losing someone isn't as simple to resolve as sleeping when you're sleepy. That it follows us without solution.
Tumblr media
Denji understood this plurality of love, he also understood that sex, or one's own body, is a currency of exchange, as his dialogue with Yoshida had shown. A body can be bruised, sex can be non-consensual. These aren't just abstract concepts, Denji doesn't think like that; if he's understood them at all, it's through his own experiences.
Tumblr media
In chapter 127, Denji catches up with Asa, subjected to the Falling Devil, who argues that life is only pain. What Denji is trying to do is reassure her, which is not easy for him as speech is not his strong suit. But he puts himself in her place anyway, and it's one of the rare times when CSM expressly and voluntarily helps someone simply to help them, without projecting anything behind it (he wasn't supposed to see Asa anymore).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He then talks about cats and dogs, because he knows that universally they are beings that bring us happiness. But he also evokes all his traumas: ice cream (Aki), cats (Power), but above all hamburgers (representing his mourning when he gave up control of his being to Pochita). Denji evokes them all positively, yet symbolically, they are all finely chosen elements that will evoke negativity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But in the end, Denji says he's moving on to have sex one day. I know this isn't the right way to reassure Asa, but Denji wanted to help her, to comfort her, and he did it sincerely, because he can't change what he says if it's what he thinks. Wanting sex is what a teenager wants. It's also a desire for Denji not to compartmentalize growing up and not to pay attention to his needs.
Tumblr media
Denji is attracted by what he can touch directly, by pure sensations. So it's natural that he only talks about sex. That's not to say he'll reduce his girlfriend to that, he just doesn't know what envelops the act, feelings, love. He's never had a girlfriend!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Denji was abandoned by his parents, dehumanized, having grown up with a demon, behaving like an animal. So he answers his questions with this latest experience, a sensation not yet acquired: the origin of humanity, his own, Asa's. If everyone's doing it, it must be good!!!
Sex is presented as two sides of the same coin in this part, as a kind of naive claim for Denji to move forward, to get out of his pain, but something that is constantly used against him, to manipulate him, that puts him in danger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And once again, he begins to spot the danger, but can't fight it. Fumiko is the perfect example, a symbol of his sexual trauma to which Denji is completely subjected.
Denji is beginning to know that sex can be both positive and negative. But he also doesn't know how to discuss it, how to talk about it, especially to the girl he's interested in. As he thinks sex is something universally pleasurable so talking about it had to resonate in Asa as much as cats, dogs, ice cream. He presented something that was also traumatic in a beautiful light.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Denji wants a girlfriend, he wants to be loved and to love, yes. Even though love is rarely a pleasant experience, even a factor of despair.
Denji also wants to sleep with someone, yes something just as risky, or he consciously knows he can be used and manipulated for it.
Sex isn't Denji's way of being loved, it's like love, something as beautiful as it is traumatic. And Denji wants to experiment. Even if it means suffering. Because in suffering, there will always be pleasure.
Tumblr media
CSM, the fruit of an act of love for Pochita and mourning for Denji, is above all the chimera of trauma.
Denji doesn't think he can get out of the trauma. He has experienced it so much that he now sees it as something necessary to experience. He doesn't confront suffering, he deflects it, even if it means suffering more.
How could Denji break out of this cycle?
By learning to trust.
And that's something he'll experience with a teenager who's distrustful, his opposite.
Tumblr media
Both the attraction and the rejection of sex are normal reactions for two teenagers. But they are also two responses from the two protagonists to their own suffering.
Denji's obsession with sex is a desire to move forward, to tie the knot to the point of putting himself in danger. Asa's absolute rejection of contact is also symbolic of the fact that she no longer wants to suffer by connecting with others, even if it means suffering from her loneliness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One is literally swept away by his suffering, while the other cuts off his own head to get some hope, accepting his suffering as necessary, even if it deprives him of his loved ones. And the result will be the same: solitude.
Tumblr media
You can't throw yourself into someone's arms, just as you can't isolate yourself.
Loneliness will devour them if they don't bond with each other.
A relationship with someone you trust is enough.

[ID: Chainsaw Man page featuring Falling Devil. She says "Ten eyes. Four ears. That leaves..." The next panel shows the outside of an Aji supermarket. Then Falling Devil is shown in the fruits aisle, holding an apple and calmly appraising it. She then says, "Excuse me, do you have an apple variety that pairs well with human flesh?" /end ID]
who is the funniest devil and why is it falling

You: no please, no analysis, just sit back and enjoy.
BUT WAIT!!! what's so great about this entry (besides the badass decapitation entry with another decapitated head) is what Denji SAYS!
We all know it, Chainsaw Man is no longer acting as a public security agent under the orders of his hierarchy but as a HERO! Revered and admired as such.
What I find adorable is Denji's self-perception. Nayuta had motivated him by saying that people needed Chainsaw Man and that the admiration of the people was also a form of love. This entry follows the same line, Denji embraces his heroic quality in a heroic way. Why? Because a hero responds to crime. And to appear as the good demon, the other must appear as the bad demon. That's why he talks about the famous apple theft, which Denji says is a crime. But what is even more Denji, and even more Chainsaw Man is the fact that it is this apple theft that shocks Denji the most. The theft of food instead of all the dead people on the ground.
This entry shows three things:
1) Denji still has no moral compass and operates an awkward hierarchy of values
2) Chainsaw Man remains a demon precisely because of his amorality
3) But Chainsaw Man remains a man. Why is that? Because all that was missing was a man's head for the recipe of the falling demon. And she got it!
