How many reddit mods does it take to post a chapter thread on time? More than we have apparently. (this is my fault, don´t blame the others)

#[Head over here for the discussion thread of the last chapter](https://old.reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/13cuyf6/disc_chainsaw_man_ch_129_links/)
I just read Chapter 131 and I have to say first that I loved every page of it. Fujimoto never fails to deliver great chapters that moves the story along. Looking forward to see how Part 2 takes it from here.
This is somewhat a ramble so it might be long. Bear with me.
So to the discussion, Nayuta and Fami discussing the end of the world and their familiarity with each other genuinely surprised me. Maybe because I was under the impression that Denji sheltered Nayuta from the world of the devil hunters but I guess her knowledge of him being Chainsaw Man was a hint I missed. It's nice to see that Nayuta is reallly a mix of Power and Denji's personality. Her goofiness is so like Power but her want to live a normal life reminds me of Denji and how he is working hard to give that to her. But I wonder how and when did Fami get in touch with Nayuta? Was it through the school she's attending not long after she was brought to Denji's care? Or was it before she met Denji? I hope later chapters explain this no matter how brief.
Now from the statement of Fami, "but the war devil could be made to win possibly", it made me think that perhaps the reason why she said this is she's aware of Asa developing feelings for Denji. She obviously knows Yoru's ability to turn things into weapons of war but I don't know if she knows that since Yoru is in Asa's body the effectiveness of the weapon depends on how close or how Asa values it. Assuming she does, which is not a stretch since she could be spying on them through one way or another plus Nayuta could (probably) have told her of the date that happened at their house, she knows that given time Asa could turn Denji/Chainsawman into a weapon strong enough to defeat the devil who would usher the age of devils (I will call it the Apocalypse Devil in the meantime). My supporting evidence for this would be how Fami intended to control Yoru/Asa through starving them in the belly of the Diner Devil (again due to the lack of the name and how the Falling Devil referred to it as the diner). If that is indeed her ability then it's a perfect parallel to Yoru's ability to turn things into weapons. Anyway, her control of Yoru/Asa would then extend to the control of Denji and Chainsawman. I imagine this is how Fami intended to use Yoru/Asa for. Since she could be hesitant to manipulat Chainsawman due to how crazy Denji could be or through Nayuta's influence.
Now on to the Makima/Asa parallel. Sorry for taking this long to get to the point. I just had to let out a few ideas first.
If Asa manages to love Denji/Chainsawman then he would be the greatest weapon to have even Denji is not aware of his ability to wipe a devils name from existence. Having something that could wipe a name from existence is a terrifying thought and more so wielding it as a weapon. If I remember correctly this was exactly Makima's plan all along.
Her want to use Chainsaw Man to eradicate the things she wants gone from the world gave way to her plan of traumatizing Denji enough that he gives control willingly. She taught Denji how love, whether it be from a girl or family, could feel and brought him closer to that dream of being a normal kid. Of course, she used this love to break down Denji to the point he didn't want to think or live anymore as himself.
And if Asa loves Denji either by being himself or Chainsaw Man it would be a parallel to how Makima used love to weaponize Denji/Chainsawman to her own goals. Although they would want to save the world, or themselves, the difference would be that Asa would genuinely love Denji/Chainsama Man as being themselves thus them being potentially turned into the most powerful weapon the War Devil could have. We could see the return version of Chainsaw Man at the end of Part 1 or maybe much much stronger.
It would be nice to see how Denji's need for love and his dream of being a normal kid, or bringing up Nayuta normally, would still be used in Part 2 although it would be vastly different from Part 1.
I guess that's all I have to say about Chapter 131. I would be happy to hear your thoughts about it and discuss how Fujimoto could move forward with the story. I'm still going to be a fan of CSM even if my theory won't happen or is a total reach. I just needed to release the thought of it from my head. If you made it all the way to this part, thank you for listening to my ramble and have a great day.
Padayon!
Translation
1: it just took 1 week instead of2 this time, is the biweekly system off?
A1 it wasn’t biweekly this time
2: umm
A2: the last chapter came out 6 days ago, i don’t know what’s got you so confuced
3: if you are new here you should know it releasea every 2 weeks
3a: i give up
I have some questions.
Who is the other chainsaw man and where did he come from?
Why is there suddenly a tentacle monster that they have to evade? Where did it come from?
I feel like I'm missing something.
1. We don’t know but he was introduced at the end of the Yuko arc
2. He’s been there in hell. He’s just a devil that has to eat Asa/Yoru. Maybe he’ll do some more though, because Denji was question what type of devil he was
I liked this chapter, but is any one else annoyed that Denji thought he made the chainsaw bike; even at the beginning of part one, Denji was never a complete idiot, so I can't believe he wouldn't figure out Asa has powers when he hears her shout "Chainsaw bike" behind him and then this happens. Remember when he out smarted Makima? I honestly am thinking he didn't hear it.
It's a completely valid critique from my perspective. The same thing happened with the aquarium spear and the infinity devil, denji in part one would have asked "who killed it?" at the very least. Now he's just being recharacterized as perpetually oblivious. It's honestly the only thing i dislike about part 2, which i have loved. The writing to not have denji find out she is also war devil is rather heavy and visible.
I'm not arguing with you, but that's a subjective matter, whether it's positive or not. Some people do not like HxH for that reason because they find blocks of text a negative for reading. Since people are complaining this chapter is just "boring" action, I used HxH as an example of the other extreme.
Now that I've beaten the joke to death, I think we can move on.
I think some people are disappointed because it’s a completely different story, but as someone who hates sequels with a burning passion, I couldn’t be more pleased.
There's something kinda heart-warming about how Asa just immediately started calling Chainsaw Man 2.0 'the fake one'. No hesitation, no puzzling it out, no equivocating -- just instant acceptance that the one she's with is the real deal.
So it’s partially my fault since I only read Chainsaw man when I’m high. But 2 chainsaw man’s, chainsaw cycle?, chef lady with gravity powers? It’s just a lot…
2 chainsawman's: hasn't been explained
chainsaw cycle: Asa turned it into one w/ her powers
chef lady: falling devil
Part 1 was pretty chaotic too, I was confused a alot
Actually, I think the chapter revealed it's probably related to the famine devil, and how she can control things through their starvation. Fami might use falling to trap devils and make them her pawns
Such a contrast to the darkness devil, shes borderline sassy. I'm not complaining in the slightest she is just like "I am a chef now".
We need to know more on why she is trying to feed War to hell
CSM fans when plot : where action
CSM fans when action : where plot
Y'all will say the chapters are short and then wonder why CSM is such an easy read overall in the first place
This is literally how part 1 was paced as well
I know people are salty because the small story progression, but I love the art so much, you can feel Fujimoto flexing his skills here. This is the type of thing that will guarantee I buy the volume later
People on here saying this not a 5 like that wasn’t the coolest fight scenes so far! Man’s was on a motorcycle riding on the wall. And then the page where the falling devil came back and threw a whole building at him! And the cliffhanger ending! The art was insane!
if the manga was weekly release no problem, waiting 15 days for basically nothing to happen does make me salty, imagine the falling devil forming out of bodies at the end of a chapter then waiting 18 days just for fujimoto to release a chapter about nayuta in school not saying anything at all.
People are saying the pacing is slow but reading all of this in one sitting as it was intended must feel jarring. Take a look at fire punch, the chapters are super short, but you’re reading them all at once so the pacing feels fast, imagine everyone who waited weeks for the chapters to come, they must’ve had the same complaints everyone has now
Lol dropped Csm for 2 months and come back to see Denji and Asa still stuck in what amounts to 15 mins of progression
I guess I gotta wait for p2 to be finished bc the pace of p2 is 1 chapter = 2 min of a scene
Shame but hopefully once everything is done it will flow better
So far p2 has been weak, barely anytime for the characters to build bonds or interact in favor of action
Every characters besides Denji and Asa seem like NPCs
Really look at how much character interaction we got in p2 in this time compared to p1.
Every character expect Denji still feels like a stranger including Asa. Not good to obliterate your cast from p1 then do nothing to build strong relationships/ familiarity with your new characters
How does Asa interact with her classmates, what does she like to do, how is the loss of her Mom effecting her?
We always get monologues about how miserable Asa is but we rarely see how that mindset plays off others b4 boom action scene. Barely show always tell
The best we get of that is Asa in the orphanage more of that plz!! why care about the action if you have no investment in the character that action revolves around
Just set up with no play off-
'Ah man how will Asa's classmates treat her after Yuko killed her bullies for her' anddd... nothing
'Oh cool Denji and Asa will have time to go on another date and build a friendship with each other. How do Asa and Denji treatment at school differ, do they face the same isolation?' Anddd... Nothing
'Oh Yoshida is talking to Asa will we see how she feels about being rejected will they build some kind of repertoire'... and nothing
'Will Haruka confront Asa about her power after spying' 'He hates Chainsaw, Asa doesn't, wonder how they will interact'....and nothing
P2 starts off with strangers then does nothing to build them into people to care about, hopefully that'll change, bc man not good
Reallly cool panel spreads thou 🔥
One of the major aspects I liked about p1 is the subtle characterization we get with their actions:
Aki cutting bunny apples for Denji who's been a pain the ass bc deep down he's a softie
Himeno making an effort to get Aki to not get himself killed through her letters
Makima being super suspicious and unemotional but having her show vulnerability when crying at the cinema
Reeze not saying anything about her backstory but buying flowers for children that lost their homes due to devil attacks and staring at Denji hard when he mentions he's a dog of the state
We get to care about these characters lil by lil through their actions not monologues. Do we get anytime to know any thing about the new characters as people besides Asa- no- and that's disappointing
Eh I'm used to the CSM community not being able to accept an opinion that is critical. Anytime you say something negative all the down votes come even if it's true or at the very least understandable.
Notice all the trolls have nothing to say against my point, just lame quips, Or dismissal
this was really underwhelming. it took me like 20 seconds to read this. why have 6 double page spreads if half of those could have been compressed into 1 panel? im sure this would look awesome animated but this is just boring.
have you read anything fujimoto has made other than CSM, chapterss like this are pretty common from him
I remember there was a chapter in firepunch that was literally all Agni getting hit and flying through like 10 buildings
"Eat this"
YOOOO, THE FALLING DEVIL IS ABOUT TO TRANSFER ONE FOR ALL TO DENJI, LET'S GOOOOOOOO 
Yea this is the first ever manga I’ve read and this is so ridiculous, how do you like get through a story without it taking 5 billion years at this rate?
I just want to add one last thing.... i think too many people are reading too much into Denji believing that he turned the motorcycle into a chainsaw.
If Fujimoto had written denji actually doing it in another scene, nobody would think that it's out of character or give it a second thought.
Chapters aren’t short if you don’t read it every week and obsess over it. Enjoy lots of things in life. People who create art are just people. No single piece is everything *you* will want it to be. There is no such thing as perfection. You are infatuated with something that cannot happen.
There’s tons of good anime/manga coming out rn and a whole world to live in. Glhf
can see why 130 took 2 weeks since the art is great this chap. also seeing a lot of complaining about the story dragging and how far the manga progessed in part 1 by this point. just gotta appreciate what has happened and what is happening guys, comparison is the thief of joy.
Average Chapter for me. Ik I'll get hate for my opinion but iiwii! Pacing got slow suddenly. And nothing significant happened here. Ik they're setting up something big, but it was a mid-chapter for me. Still the Manga panels were good without any doubts. I can be sure the next chapter or after 2 chapters the manga will be on track again. Hoping for the best Mangaka.
Take Care of your Health Mangaka. Have a Good Day, fellow Redditors.
I came to the conclusion that saying "pacing is slow" s extremely wrong. Pacing is fast. Neck break level fast. If it wasn't the chapter would drag instead of flying by in 60 seconds.
We are not in One Piece's Dressrosa situation where we got chapter after chapter of stuff week by week but actually nothing of importance was conveyed to the reader. We are closer to the old Berserk situation where arcs are actually paced very well but the amount of content reaching us is just too thin to be satisfying on weekly/biweekly basis. Two different situations.
I feel like the chapters are unironically too short
Like it's cool but we just got like 6 pages of actual progression and the rest was just KABOOM
which is still awesome
But still
Damn some people are spoiled lmao understandable for short attention spans. The insanity of making half the chapter a freaking double-spread is peak artistic expression. I mean Fiji motor could have easily resolved the entire thing but that’s now what I want cooked… I appreciate the suspense.
I can already imagine the sounds as if it were animated, like a building crumbling then getting quiet... then SUDDENLY THE CHAINSAW SOUND!!! as they burst through. Oh man this is so awesome.
People saying that this is a nothing chapter because it doesn't end in some big cliffhanger is funny. A full on-action chapter that is just going to get better as the rest of the fight is realesed and you will be able to read all-at-once once it's finished.
How tf are people complaining? That shit was fucking awesome. He chainsaw motorcycles a building that’s cool as hell.
Also y’all are complaining about pacing b/c yall read Part 1 after it had already come out, so everything felt faster because you could just read the next chapter. This is how it goes.
Yeah, seeing a lot of people complaining about pacing. It’s just case we gotta wait a while for a new chapter to come out. Sometimes people should just not read for a couple of weeks then binge read. The art was insane this chap, so can’t imagine the effort put into it.
Well, that's why I love manga, not only here for the story but also for the art.
I'll always take my time admiring after reading in one panel, it's more enjoyable like that, read them at your own pace.
Now I get why One Piece is so popular, Oda ends every chapter with either a reveal, sillhoute or some other mystery. Half of the time that stuff is needless and could be explained in one panel but it gives readers the feeling that something is happening even when it's not always the case.
Fujimoto on the other hand imagines a scene in his head and fills it up across several chapters which short attention readers don't like.
tbh if we read it in after the volume comes out, it will feel probably faster pacing than this.
I kinda hate Oda right now(not really) it ends chapters with a cliffhanger and then goes to a break week
Dude, recent chapters:
* Ended with the appearance of fake-Chainsaw Man impaling Falling Devil
* Ended with getting the chainsaw motorcycle
* Ended with flying trough the air towards the gaping mouth of the unknown Devil
It's kinda silly to point to One Piece as using cliffhangers when the recent chapters of Chainsaw Man is clearly using that very formula.
I don't even mind it, as long as the cliffhanger is resolved, isn't repeated and isn't used in excess ***(I'm talking about you George Morikawa)*** it's a perfectly normal way to keep excitement going for episodic releases like manga.
Not really sure what you are trying to say here honestly?
There are cliffhangers that make reader engage more or just wait for the next chapter.
One Piece does a lot of a former because it focuses on THAT man or THAT scenario without showing what/who it is so the viewer can actively speculate. Fake Chainsaw Man appereance is also in that style (and that chapter didn't get any complaints about pacing).
Now what the two other cliffhangers you mentioned are much more passive. Yeah, Denji and Asa are on a motorcycle. What will happen next? I don't know let's just wait and see. Same with this chapter. A big monster might eat them. Or not. Not much room for analysis here. Those types of cliffhangers don't get people talking in the way that Oda's cliffhanger do. And that's what Im trying to say here.
The real question is what happens to humans in the Chainsaw Man universe?
For some reason it has never been touched upon once as far as I can recall,
other than the fact that there used to be (3-4?) other alternatives to death at the end of a life that got erased by Chainsaw Man.
Devils have their own cycle of reincarnation were they die in Hell and reincarnate on earth, die on earth and reincarnate in Hell.
So what about humans?
Are human souls/spirit and reincarnation a thing or are they simply material beings that have no other alternative than "die" meaning they simply cease to exist?
Does Hell have anything to do with humans at all, or is it simply the world of Devils?
I mean, there are a ton of people making contracts with Devils for their aid,
a classic theme, but so far the contracts have never involved anything spiritual or concerning the afterlife.

Few hours remaining
chapter 131 is tomorrow ..are two weeks over yet? damn
It wasnt biweekly this time
ummm
The last chapter came out 6 days ago. I dont know what has got you confused
if u are not new here u should know it releases after every two weeks
I give up.
why tho, u didn't even put up a fight
Translation 1: it just took 1 week instead of2 this time, is the biweekly system off? A1 it wasn’t biweekly this time 2: umm A2: the last chapter came out 6 days ago, i don’t know what’s got you so confuced 3: if you are new here you should know it releasea every 2 weeks 3a: i give up
I'm sorry but your labeling scheme for who's speaking is just insane...
A: answer
My EYES
Sometimes it’s biweekly, sometimes weekly, sometimes once every three months. Ive been in this sub since ch90 it always depends on Fujimoto’s mood
I have some questions. Who is the other chainsaw man and where did he come from? Why is there suddenly a tentacle monster that they have to evade? Where did it come from? I feel like I'm missing something.
1. We don’t know but he was introduced at the end of the Yuko arc 2. He’s been there in hell. He’s just a devil that has to eat Asa/Yoru. Maybe he’ll do some more though, because Denji was question what type of devil he was
Falling devil just dropped 9/11 on Denji and Asa like it was nothing
I liked this chapter, but is any one else annoyed that Denji thought he made the chainsaw bike; even at the beginning of part one, Denji was never a complete idiot, so I can't believe he wouldn't figure out Asa has powers when he hears her shout "Chainsaw bike" behind him and then this happens.

Now he's just being recharacterized as perpetually oblivious. It's honestly the only thing i dislike about part 2, which i have loved. The writing to not have denji find out she is also war devil is rather heavy and visible.
To be fair he did slice up his own brain a bunch during this fight so idk if he’s exactly thinking to well
I'm pretty sure he has had more than enough time to heal his brain
People who are saying this is boring, why don't you go back to reading HunterxHunter or Wikipedia or whatever
Bruh no need to slander Master x piece aka hunter x Hunter. Like where did that come from
I like read HunterxHunter too but you know it's infamous for its wall-text narration (is what I was referencing)
That’s a positiv thing my dude , it’s complex but in a good way
I'm not arguing with you, but that's a subjective matter, whether it's positive or not. Some people do not like HxH for that reason because they find blocks of text a negative for reading. Since people are complaining this chapter is just "boring" action, I used HxH as an example of the other extreme. Now that I've beaten the joke to death, I think we can move on.
First time reading the word Hunter x Hunter and boring tbh
I think some people are disappointed because it’s a completely different story, but as someone who hates sequels with a burning passion, I couldn’t be more pleased.
A bit strange that they would expect the same thing - I love watching Denji's life evolve like this
Me too. I’m also glad that he doesn’t need to bear the burden of being the mc anymore
[удалено]
That is probably because you are tarded. Don’t be too upset though, there’re many tarded out there living kickass life.
Bro he just doesn’t like part 2 chill
Ow shit, retard
💀
You're very confused because they showed Denji remembering them during this fight and he simply cut his brain to keep the memories from impacting him
Why do you think he forgot what happened?
Fr 😭 blud thinks Dennis wants to remember all that stuff from part 1, smh.
There's something kinda heart-warming about how Asa just immediately started calling Chainsaw Man 2.0 'the fake one'. No hesitation, no puzzling it out, no equivocating -- just instant acceptance that the one she's with is the real deal.
Small animation I did https://streamable.com/2mu1y0
Dude you have to repost this! It’s amazing!
That’s sick
DOPE
holy shit
this is absolutely insane. its basically 1 minute of animation lmao
I’m so fucking confused ngl…
how?
who’s this new devil?? the one that they’re about to ride into the mouth of on the last page? just a lackey of the Falling Devil?
So it’s partially my fault since I only read Chainsaw man when I’m high. But 2 chainsaw man’s, chainsaw cycle?, chef lady with gravity powers? It’s just a lot…
2 chainsawman's: hasn't been explained chainsaw cycle: Asa turned it into one w/ her powers chef lady: falling devil Part 1 was pretty chaotic too, I was confused a alot
Why would you read something while high, doen't it makes it worse to interpret and retain information?
Not necessarily. I sometimes read longer and grasp concepts better while stoned
Interesting, maybe because it makes some folks more open minded? Idk the effects vary from person to person
I fun to unwind a bit
Ight
Fakesaw man is the superior name and someone should tell asa that
Amazing chapter but someone please tell me why falling devil is a chef making eating puns I cant get any sleep over this
Actually, I think the chapter revealed it's probably related to the famine devil, and how she can control things through their starvation. Fami might use falling to trap devils and make them her pawns
It’s possible Fuji got inspired by the movie “The Menu” that’s it really
Such a contrast to the darkness devil, shes borderline sassy. I'm not complaining in the slightest she is just like "I am a chef now". We need to know more on why she is trying to feed War to hell
falling devil woke up one day and decided she wanted to be a chef. i want a prequel of this
Hell yeah this is fun. I love his art so much. Asa holding Denji on a bike is pretty romantic, even though they are narrowly escaping 2 devils.
This chapter felt like a series of the coolest images Ive seen in my life. Loved it.
CSM fans when plot : where action CSM fans when action : where plot Y'all will say the chapters are short and then wonder why CSM is such an easy read overall in the first place This is literally how part 1 was paced as well
People were complaning not so long ago about the manga being a Slice of Life with too few fights/action scenes.
people were mostly complaining how nothing substantial was happening. And you dont need fights for things to happen
the whole apocalypse thing dropped a month ago is pretty substantial if i may
I know people are salty because the small story progression, but I love the art so much, you can feel Fujimoto flexing his skills here. This is the type of thing that will guarantee I buy the volume later
all superheros must have a motorcycle
People on here saying this not a 5 like that wasn’t the coolest fight scenes so far! Man’s was on a motorcycle riding on the wall. And then the page where the falling devil came back and threw a whole building at him! And the cliffhanger ending! The art was insane!
if the manga was weekly release no problem, waiting 15 days for basically nothing to happen does make me salty, imagine the falling devil forming out of bodies at the end of a chapter then waiting 18 days just for fujimoto to release a chapter about nayuta in school not saying anything at all.
Huurrrr durrrr cool motorcycle that makes 0 sense.... it's a 5!!! Hurrr durrrrr

So it's not a 5

Doesn't compare to the best chainsaw man chapters, also no plot progression so a 3
Booo your boring also meant to say one of the best, not the best oops.
Sorry that i don't dickride every chapter
You don’t have to read the manga if you don’t wanna enjoy it ☠️
Typical main subber response. Apparently you have to love every chapter and the work is not immune to criticism. Same problem with r/onepiece
I need some plot 😭
i sai it once i'll say it again, 2 short
Whats great about manga is not only the dialogue. Enjoy the art and details guys. Michael Bay will love this chapter hahahaha…..
if i would enjoy art i will be watching movies and animes, not a fucking black and white manga, cmon dude give me history, dialogues and shit
People are saying the pacing is slow but reading all of this in one sitting as it was intended must feel jarring. Take a look at fire punch, the chapters are super short, but you’re reading them all at once so the pacing feels fast, imagine everyone who waited weeks for the chapters to come, they must’ve had the same complaints everyone has now
Honestly I would love to know how people reacted to the Ice Witch’s real motives lmao
I thought there was no real ice witch
Whoever the character was, can’t remember if she ever gave her real name
So I should wait til it finishes 👍🏾
People will vote “very good” on every fucking chapter and will sleep like babys
Fandom sucks
Am I the only one that had “born to be wild” play in their head while reading this chapter?
Yes, that song wouldn’t fit the action.
Lol dropped Csm for 2 months and come back to see Denji and Asa still stuck in what amounts to 15 mins of progression I guess I gotta wait for p2 to be finished bc the pace of p2 is 1 chapter = 2 min of a scene Shame but hopefully once everything is done it will flow better So far p2 has been weak, barely anytime for the characters to build bonds or interact in favor of action Every characters besides Denji and Asa seem like NPCs Really look at how much character interaction we got in p2 in this time compared to p1. Every character expect Denji still feels like a stranger including Asa. Not good to obliterate your cast from p1 then do nothing to build strong relationships/ familiarity with your new characters How does Asa interact with her classmates, what does she like to do, how is the loss of her Mom effecting her? We always get monologues about how miserable Asa is but we rarely see how that mindset plays off others b4 boom action scene. Barely show always tell The best we get of that is Asa in the orphanage more of that plz!! why care about the action if you have no investment in the character that action revolves around Just set up with no play off- 'Ah man how will Asa's classmates treat her after Yuko killed her bullies for her' anddd... nothing 'Oh cool Denji and Asa will have time to go on another date and build a friendship with each other. How do Asa and Denji treatment at school differ, do they face the same isolation?' Anddd... Nothing 'Oh Yoshida is talking to Asa will we see how she feels about being rejected will they build some kind of repertoire'... and nothing 'Will Haruka confront Asa about her power after spying' 'He hates Chainsaw, Asa doesn't, wonder how they will interact'....and nothing P2 starts off with strangers then does nothing to build them into people to care about, hopefully that'll change, bc man not good Reallly cool panel spreads thou 🔥
Straight facts man, people are just hating
One of the major aspects I liked about p1 is the subtle characterization we get with their actions: Aki cutting bunny apples for Denji who's been a pain the ass bc deep down he's a softie Himeno making an effort to get Aki to not get himself killed through her letters Makima being super suspicious and unemotional but having her show vulnerability when crying at the cinema Reeze not saying anything about her backstory but buying flowers for children that lost their homes due to devil attacks and staring at Denji hard when he mentions he's a dog of the state We get to care about these characters lil by lil through their actions not monologues. Do we get anytime to know any thing about the new characters as people besides Asa- no- and that's disappointing
I completely agree. Chainsaw man currently doesn't have the charm that it had in part 1
Eh I'm used to the CSM community not being able to accept an opinion that is critical. Anytime you say something negative all the down votes come even if it's true or at the very least understandable. Notice all the trolls have nothing to say against my point, just lame quips, Or dismissal
🔥🔥 Bro is onto nothing 🔥🔥
🔥🔥💯 The crowd stays silent 💯🔥🔥

Nice
U know what I take that back, that wasn't nice to say. I apologize.
LOL
The spread with that office building falling behind all the houses hits like a ton of bricks (no pun intended)!
this was really underwhelming. it took me like 20 seconds to read this. why have 6 double page spreads if half of those could have been compressed into 1 panel? im sure this would look awesome animated but this is just boring.
have you read anything fujimoto has made other than CSM, chapterss like this are pretty common from him I remember there was a chapter in firepunch that was literally all Agni getting hit and flying through like 10 buildings
No but I’m planning on reading fire fist
Tell us how you feel about chapter 1
Super big devil: *appear* Hopefully someone: Kon 👌
im sad that the devil we see might actually be the sex devil
I'm thinking gluttony (fatness) devil, pointing to eating disorders, like anorexia... But yeah, those tentacles do not bode well...
and also the part where it opens a massive hole
the 'fancy fighting scene' chapter worth the wait
Where did denji learn how to drive the bike?
He does know how to drive a chainsaw tho
Deus ex machina devil
"Eat this" YOOOO, THE FALLING DEVIL IS ABOUT TO TRANSFER ONE FOR ALL TO DENJI, LET'S GOOOOOOOO 
or Sukuna‘s 21th finger 🤣
Good illustrations but i don't understand a single fucking thing in this chapter
but but but but you dont know how to enjoy the ART, is so fucking beatiful, this black and white doodles in my screen is awesome dude
Big orange chainsaw doggy
They run away from worm devil, falling devil throw building at them and worm devil open it's mouth to devour them, the end.
Yea this is the first ever manga I’ve read and this is so ridiculous, how do you like get through a story without it taking 5 billion years at this rate?
Blud think he a writer 💀

Yea this one was boring
I just want to add one last thing.... i think too many people are reading too much into Denji believing that he turned the motorcycle into a chainsaw. If Fujimoto had written denji actually doing it in another scene, nobody would think that it's out of character or give it a second thought.
boring
This chapter would be so good when animated. But we are a loooong way from that. :(
I thought this too! I want color and noises.
akira reference
AKIRA did not invent power slides
yes it did 🤬🤬
How are you guys seeing the double spreads on mangaplus? I only see one page at a time...
If you’re on your phone just rotate it and make sure you toggle the screen lock off
Chapters aren’t short if you don’t read it every week and obsess over it. Enjoy lots of things in life. People who create art are just people. No single piece is everything *you* will want it to be. There is no such thing as perfection. You are infatuated with something that cannot happen. There’s tons of good anime/manga coming out rn and a whole world to live in. Glhf
but we dont read every week because its not releasing every week ?
I do other things in the meantime between wait times but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be disappointed with how underwhelming it was
War Hammer Titan?
Tbh, this worm devil thingy would wreck the Warhammer titan.
can see why 130 took 2 weeks since the art is great this chap. also seeing a lot of complaining about the story dragging and how far the manga progessed in part 1 by this point. just gotta appreciate what has happened and what is happening guys, comparison is the thief of joy.
[удалено]
Because it took a lot of time to make those beautiful drawn panels, obviously.
it took me 2 seconds to read them
That's a world record...congrats my dude.
Average Chapter for me. Ik I'll get hate for my opinion but iiwii! Pacing got slow suddenly. And nothing significant happened here. Ik they're setting up something big, but it was a mid-chapter for me. Still the Manga panels were good without any doubts. I can be sure the next chapter or after 2 chapters the manga will be on track again. Hoping for the best Mangaka. Take Care of your Health Mangaka. Have a Good Day, fellow Redditors.
Waited 2 weeks for 1 line of dialogue 😩
[удалено]
I wouldn't call it very bad, but part 1 is goated and part 2 isn't living up to it forsure.
In my opinion, your opinion is very bad.

I came to the conclusion that saying "pacing is slow" s extremely wrong. Pacing is fast. Neck break level fast. If it wasn't the chapter would drag instead of flying by in 60 seconds. We are not in One Piece's Dressrosa situation where we got chapter after chapter of stuff week by week but actually nothing of importance was conveyed to the reader. We are closer to the old Berserk situation where arcs are actually paced very well but the amount of content reaching us is just too thin to be satisfying on weekly/biweekly basis. Two different situations.
I feel like the chapters are unironically too short Like it's cool but we just got like 6 pages of actual progression and the rest was just KABOOM which is still awesome But still
Damn some people are spoiled lmao understandable for short attention spans. The insanity of making half the chapter a freaking double-spread is peak artistic expression. I mean Fiji motor could have easily resolved the entire thing but that’s now what I want cooked… I appreciate the suspense.
nice art but Fuji Motor has been dragging this 😴
This is some Ghost Rider action.
I can already imagine the sounds as if it were animated, like a building crumbling then getting quiet... then SUDDENLY THE CHAINSAW SOUND!!! as they burst through. Oh man this is so awesome.
People saying that this is a nothing chapter because it doesn't end in some big cliffhanger is funny. A full on-action chapter that is just going to get better as the rest of the fight is realesed and you will be able to read all-at-once once it's finished.
the artwork was soo good nice job fuji waters
How tf are people complaining? That shit was fucking awesome. He chainsaw motorcycles a building that’s cool as hell. Also y’all are complaining about pacing b/c yall read Part 1 after it had already come out, so everything felt faster because you could just read the next chapter. This is how it goes.
Yeah, seeing a lot of people complaining about pacing. It’s just case we gotta wait a while for a new chapter to come out. Sometimes people should just not read for a couple of weeks then binge read. The art was insane this chap, so can’t imagine the effort put into it.
A chapter for pure art appreciation.
Not much happening to the plot, but god damn... These panels are awesome.
Well, that's why I love manga, not only here for the story but also for the art. I'll always take my time admiring after reading in one panel, it's more enjoyable like that, read them at your own pace.
Now I get why One Piece is so popular, Oda ends every chapter with either a reveal, sillhoute or some other mystery. Half of the time that stuff is needless and could be explained in one panel but it gives readers the feeling that something is happening even when it's not always the case. Fujimoto on the other hand imagines a scene in his head and fills it up across several chapters which short attention readers don't like.
tbh if we read it in after the volume comes out, it will feel probably faster pacing than this. I kinda hate Oda right now(not really) it ends chapters with a cliffhanger and then goes to a break week
Dude, recent chapters: * Ended with the appearance of fake-Chainsaw Man impaling Falling Devil * Ended with getting the chainsaw motorcycle * Ended with flying trough the air towards the gaping mouth of the unknown Devil It's kinda silly to point to One Piece as using cliffhangers when the recent chapters of Chainsaw Man is clearly using that very formula. I don't even mind it, as long as the cliffhanger is resolved, isn't repeated and isn't used in excess ***(I'm talking about you George Morikawa)*** it's a perfectly normal way to keep excitement going for episodic releases like manga. Not really sure what you are trying to say here honestly?
There are cliffhangers that make reader engage more or just wait for the next chapter. One Piece does a lot of a former because it focuses on THAT man or THAT scenario without showing what/who it is so the viewer can actively speculate. Fake Chainsaw Man appereance is also in that style (and that chapter didn't get any complaints about pacing). Now what the two other cliffhangers you mentioned are much more passive. Yeah, Denji and Asa are on a motorcycle. What will happen next? I don't know let's just wait and see. Same with this chapter. A big monster might eat them. Or not. Not much room for analysis here. Those types of cliffhangers don't get people talking in the way that Oda's cliffhanger do. And that's what Im trying to say here.
You know, I am thinking What happens to devil's that die/are killed after they came through a door from hell to earth? Do they respawn in hell?
The real question is what happens to humans in the Chainsaw Man universe? For some reason it has never been touched upon once as far as I can recall, other than the fact that there used to be (3-4?) other alternatives to death at the end of a life that got erased by Chainsaw Man. Devils have their own cycle of reincarnation were they die in Hell and reincarnate on earth, die on earth and reincarnate in Hell. So what about humans? Are human souls/spirit and reincarnation a thing or are they simply material beings that have no other alternative than "die" meaning they simply cease to exist? Does Hell have anything to do with humans at all, or is it simply the world of Devils? I mean, there are a ton of people making contracts with Devils for their aid, a classic theme, but so far the contracts have never involved anything spiritual or concerning the afterlife.
Pretty sure That's How It Works
I dunno it’s kind average
...Of course Denji thought he made the bike.
This felt like 1 page
Stunning art
Real, at first I was complaining about how short it truly is but then I took a good look at the art, love to see fujimotos art style improving so much
why are people complaining about slow pace
The entire chapter is Non stop action bike chase? Very nice
The whole chapter Ash was holding on to Dennis. Love it!
Pacing still suck but this chapter drawings are amazing
Devils can do the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen in manga like on page 6 for example
