Chainsaw Man 125: Apple Thief

⚠️Warning: Spoilers Ahead⚠️

So, is there anything important or exposition related in this chapter? No. Do we get to see a Primal Devil go grocery shopping? Yes! And that is a win in my book.

Could you count it as exposition? Sorta, but I think it's more implicit to the nature of Primal Devils. The only other Devil we've known to follow social conventions was someone like the Control Devil. So why might it be interesting or exposition in the first place for the Falling Devil to be more human-like? Well, in the first place, the Falling Devil has a human-like appearance. Not human, but very close. Is this because they came from Hell directly unlike the Control Devils did? I'm not sure, we don't have an answer to that.

Regardless, they're very sophisticated and capable. Does this mean all high level Devils have this level of intelligence/awareness? No, there's a rule of thumb outside of overall power. Take, for example, the Gun Devil. Nobody associates intelligence, or even really humanity for that matter, with guns. They're a tool, so they don't have any sort of know-how. On the flip side we've got stuff like the Zombie Devil which was able to trick people into becoming zombies, but it wasn't something incredibly powerful. And lastly, we've got weird ones like the Eternity Devil. Neither incredibly powerful nor very human.

So what do you think constitutes intelligence and a human-like appearance? Well, personally, I think it's more whimsical than anything. You have the Bat and Leech Devil talk, and even the Cockroach Devil, but then the reincarnation of the Bat Devil doesn't talk. So, maybe there is something deeper. What if, things that were alive or are abstract concepts are able to speak, but as they cycle through reincarnation they become dumber and dumber. This would explain why low level devils aren't shown to talk, as they've probably been killed numerous times, and why the Bat Devil was unable to speak during its second incarnation. So maybe, just maybe, there's a pattern going on and this could be the answer.

Where was I again? Oh yeah, a Devil going grocery shopping, weird tangent huh? Anyways, aside from just the random theories and thoughts the chapter provokes, it was largely fun that sets up for a crazy fight in the next one, so we'll see where that goes. I'm very curious considering that the Falling Devil has full confidence in its constitution, until Denji shows up. Even then though, it's not showing any signs of concern or fear, so I'm really wondering if we'll see a AsaDen team up here as Yoru's goal shifts thanks to what's in front of them.

chainsaw man for the ask game

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favourite character: Oh god okay. I can’t choose one, so in no particular order: Power, Reze, Quanxi, Nayuta/Makima, Denji, Yoru, Kishibe

Least Favourite character: Santa. Yeah they were so gross with that line about the kids…

5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): Asa/Denji, Denji/Reze, Power/Kobeni, Makima/Quanxi, Asa/Yuko

Character I find most attractive: QUANXI. I MEAN LOOK AT HER.

Character I would marry: Quanxi pls pls pls let me into your devil poly

Character I would be best friends with: I would so smoke weed with Power

a random thought: Me and my friend have this crack theory that Pochida is actually the death devil and chainsaws are just his weapon of choice to explain why Pochida eating devils is a permakill, making the chainsaw man impersonator being the real chainsaw devil

An unpopular opinion: Aki malewife jokes were never funny and adult men taking care of their own landry and stuff shouldn’t be considered a “malewife” thing

My Canon OTP: Does AsaDen still count? LOL

My Non-canon OTP: KOBENI AND POWER HAVE CHAOTIC RELATIONSHIP POTENTIAL OKAY.

Most Badass Character: Both Kishibe and Quanxi jesus christ don’t even bother trying to fight them

Most Epic Villain: Makima is literally one of the best villains I’ve ever encountered. This woman is so manipulative and terrifying and all the religious and creepy art of her belongs in a museum

Pairing I am not a fan of: Denji/Makima is horrid lol

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Himeno… her sa’ing Denji is swept under the rug and your still supposed to feel empathy for her when over her death arc… Not to mention her potential predatory behaviour toward Aki… I really wish her character was handled better. It’s hard to mourn her when you think of the gravity of what she did to Denji. Honestly, I felt worse for Aki the whole time then Himeno when she was literally dying.

Favourite Friendship: DENJI AND POWER OF COURSE THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO ME

Character I most identify with: Denji, unfortunately. We both have the same coping mechanisms, humour, and I can relate to a lot of his trauma. Honestly, without going to deep into it, I see so much of myself in him it’s kinda creepy. I

Character I wish I could be: Quanxi’s fiends… you know why

#I love info dumping about my hyper fixating #csm
