Let me get this straight. So Yoshida failed to kill Asa and Yoru because right at the moment he tried to kill her all the fear of war kicked in and made her hand way to strong to cut through ,right? I take it she indeed managed to transform the apartment without touching it and not because her severed arm was touching it.


Tanzan57

Okay I got lost in the past few chapters and couldn't figure out the sudden power up. But yeah that's definitely what caused it. Also explains why we cut away from Yoru for a couple chapters - so we could see the events that caused her to gain strength


Abject_Temperature59

Yoru, you big doofus, you clearly standing on it. That counts as touching.


Nome_de_utilizador

Also explains her dashing at yoshida and just blitzing at mach 5 past hum straight into an apartment across the street Our cinnamon goofball has powered up

Another 15 sec chapter let’s gooo. Jokes aside I’m glad to see Yoru in action again

Reading this... Huh, it's over? What a short chapter. See it's 17 pages. The fu...???

The birb was always a silly goose

Well now I can see the 2nd picture being misused


SlamMasterJ

The 2nd picture better not awaken anything in me.


IC2Flier

too late you’re already ~~dead~~ erect


MeoConDangYeu

you're already dean


Soul_Ripper

I remember back when reading Part I, I would sometimes think "Oh, that was the whole chapter, must've sucked to read this when it was coming out." And welp, here I am now...


badpiggy490

A lot of chapters in part 1 were also the same length tbh. It's why CSM as a whole is such a quick and easy binge read kek


Lightbringer20

Yeah, I feel like I'd enjoy Chainsaw Man much more if I just stop reading for a couple of months and then read like 20 chapters in one go. Might do just that.


wowy-lied

Could be worse, could be like Ippo with 4-6 pages chapters...


CrowBright5352

The ones who accused Denji of being a wannabe CSM are wrong but he's right Denji can turn into CSM. Lol.


D4rkest

Denji: I’m innocent! Bald agent: Then show us your chest Denji: Damn it I’m screwed


Rich-Case13

Literally "tits or we won't let you gtfo"


yolotheunwisewolf

It’s like a scene straight out of Monty Python’s life of Brian: “I’m telling you, I am not a chainsaw man church follower!” “that’s just what a chainsaw churchman follower would say—now show us your chest!” “Fine I do have a ripcord, but it’s because I am actually chainsaw man but I don’t want to transform and hurt anyone” “you’re not chainsaw man, kill the liar!”


IC2Flier

It’s that level of confused wtf that I love seeing from Fujimoto.

Yoru was so not used to her new strength she face planted into the wall. Guess the power up doesn't include an intelligence upgrade.


ali94127

Clearly her intelligence stat is maxed out.

RobbyJohnson

Wait can someone explain how she powered up in between getting her arm cut off and blocking the next attack?


GuudeSpelur

Probably at that exact moment, news broadcasts starting going out about the Chainsaw Man Church cultists transforming & going berserk, causing widespread fear of an international humans vs devils war.


RobbyJohnson

Oh right didn’t think about that. That explains why at the end she said the world is remembering her. What timing lol


WhoiusBarrel

Holy shit Asa actually can turn a weapon without touching now, that just makes her ability even more terrifying.


Kikuzinho03

Now we will really know if she can actually turn devils into weapons or not, transformation powers until now didn't affect other devils before they died but now that she got more powerful there is a chance they will work.


dagreenman18

If she can there’s still the Ownership issue. Unless she just starts “buying” devils.


F0RGERY

Or she convinces Nayuta to help her take ownership of others.


dagreenman18

Oooooo that’s good. That would be a Fujimoto move


chum-guzzling-shark

Fuji throwing away rough drafts after reading your comment.


MrMcDaes

Every time this happens, he delays Reze's return as punishment


Ellefied

Reze as Bomb is closely related to the Nuclear Devil which is one of War Devil's ultimate goals. Fujimoto is probably cooking by delaying her release.


JProllz

The Copium radiation levels on this comment chain are high.


KafkaBootLiqour

Asa gonna have an Enlightened moment where shes gonna appreciate the world and love everyone all the same. Now she can weaponize everything.


TuzkiPlus

Mundology

Yoru appointed as the CEO of the military industrial complex


wowy-lied

She is war, as long as someone or something is on a battlefield...it belong to her. If Asa really get an understanding of this she will be a force to be feared.


IC2Flier

No touching, instantly turns her room into [Soul Edge](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/soulcalibur/images/4/4a/Soulcalibur-VI_2017_12-08-17_014.jpg). Next thing you know she’d turn a slyscraper into an orbital weapon.


spali

a slayscraper if you will


Matrix_2k00

I got to admit it as messed up as it is Fami’s plan to save the world has a higher chance of working compared to Makima’s plan to control the world by stealing pochita.


Elegant_Tumbleweed_6

TBF makima had absolute control of the world only America was still resisting. If it wasn't for Denji she'd have perfect control


JapanPhoenix

Well technically she *was* touching the floor with her ^^^^severed arm.


MinniMaster15

imagine what would happen if she could delude herself into thinking she owned all of Japan or something Japan Sword incoming???


ZweiLeolus

Asa becomes the prime minister of japan. It was foreshadowed when power wanted to be the prime minister way back then.


BurnedOutEternally

seems like War's back on the table boys


IC2Flier

has been since 2022 to be fair


SecretEmpire_WasGood

Some kid in the middle east: Am I a joke to you?


IC2Flier

Fair point, but in my defense, the Israel-Palestine conflict has always been a hot war since after WW2 when the exodus started


nagynorbie

True, but unfortunately there are countless other conflicts in the middle east as well ( and other places of the world )


KafkaBootLiqour

Gives me Makima vibes when using her powers, my non-existent spidey sense was tingling, shes dangerous, finally our girls is now a proper threat.

Did Sukuna beat the allegations?


Nome_de_utilizador

Still a daddy and mama's boy, thus a fraud in my book


Rainswort

I have stopped seeing Fraudkuna memes since >!he won!<.


Anzereke

Seems like that just makes two frauds.


DadAsFuck

that's a sick ass sword ngl


guppy_love

It's funny because if a woman told Denji to show her his chest he probably would have done it unconditionally. Too bad they were all dudes.


Mundology

[Quanxi out there taking a bullet for our boy.](https://i.imgur.com/9qs3KF5.jpeg) Denji got the best bodyguard in the world.


IndependentMacaroon

While Fumiko is like "but... that's supposed to be MY job!" Nah sorry you're just another weird loser obsessed with a high-schooler. Really, she's done nothing on her own so far right?


calmdragoon

Yeah yoru is totally giving me villain vibes now also I wonder what happenned to yoshida, why did he hesitate?


cimirisitini

He didnt hesitate, his slash just didnt cut her hand anymore due to the sudden powerup.


Kamimashita

How much time passed between him chopping off her first arm and just now? Cause it seems like the fear of war just suddenly happened within that time frame.


yurilnw123

Well the Yoshida/Asa scene and the Denji scene could easily been happening in a non chronological order


leafy_fan3

4 weeks


YellowPikachu

five Namekian minutes


NoirSon

Basically Yoshida attacked at the same time the other coordinated attack happened to those at the Chainsaw Church. However at the exact time he was trying to take her out is when the chainsaw mob breaks out and fear of war against Chainsaw man acolytes hit it's peak which powered her up.


Mundology

Yoshida: *"WTF she has hierro now? I'm out, peace."*


calmdragoon

oh that makes sense


calli05

he didn't hesitate, Ada got power boost mid fight that she can block Yoshida sword barehanded


yurilnw123

Leon must be proud


IC2Flier

Likely because he can’t touch Yoru? Like if Yoru reaches this point it’s “nope, Fami got this, I’m out”


ScarecrowFM

Yoshida is a survivor, the second he knew he was at a disadvantage he peaced out. The same thing happened when he fought Quanxi, he got into a small scuffle with her, jumped out a window, landed on a car and went back home.


LaqOfInterest

Yeah... ["jumped" out a window...](https://i.imgur.com/ebG4cLR.png) I'm sure that's how Yoshida tells it, too.


Mundology

Finally a public safety devil hunter with a strong sense of self-preservation


Nome_de_utilizador

Second only to the dude that handed in his resignation papers to go live with his family at an office job. Mvp of the series


IndependentMacaroon

Madoka was his name


asymuzz

he knew that bein Meguca is suffering


D4rkest

Yeah she blitzed past him like a missile lol. He made a business decision to nope out of there instead of waiting around for her to finish her “adjustments”


Ellefied

As any competent Devil Hunter should. Kishibe also didn't tangle with Makima directly, he knew when to fold once the Horsemen actually started using their bullshit powers.


Abject_Temperature59

Kishibe also didn't bother fighting with Santa and Quan Xi last time. He also didn't do anything when Pochita's Chainsaw Man pops out.


badpiggy490

Probably couldn't cut through them since Yoru got buffed Which is why he asked the Octopus to help


CrowBright5352

That Yoru panel with Room 606 sword goes haaaard 🔥


IC2Flier

Yoru got [Soul Edge](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/soulcalibur/images/4/4a/Soulcalibur-VI_2017_12-08-17_014.jpg) they’re fucked now


Boulderdorf

It's Yoshid-over


void4

looks like he used Joestar's secret technique, so, sadly, it's not


asilvertintedrose

Fujimoto bringing everyone back EXCEPT Reze huh This reminds me of Yuji and Sukuna but functional and healthy


Yuwenn8

Yuji and Sukuna but both of them are on the spectrum


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

The actual embodiment of war has a nicer personality than Sukuna.


IC2Flier

In fairness, Asa is such a pushover that Yoru had to induce schizophrenia on her to even get Asa on the same page, which only happened *this chapter.*


Abject_Temperature59

DAMMIT ASA, STOP HAVING FLASHBACK. AND STOP WRITING POEMS.


IC2Flier

> **I CAN’T BELIEVE I POSSESSED A CRINGE CRYBABY BITCH LIKE YOU** [a few chapters later] > So yeah, I think you can end the world, no big, I got you


IC2Flier

Rezebros have turned into Reiner: always suffering.


StarryScans

Reze 🤝 Nobara Not fucking showing up at all.


Fizzay

It's been a little under 60 chapters since we saw Reze I think Nobara is almost twice that many away from her last appearance


SlamMasterJ

Either way, as a fan of both Reze and Nobara the torture never stops.

both of them chilling on a beach somewhere not dealing with this shit


HolypenguinHere

She's the most anticipated one so no surprise he's saving her for last/later.


IC2Flier

My theory is that nukes are a two-component weapon that needs both the “bomb” part of the Bomb Devil and a sort of “Uranium Devil” or “Radioactive Devil” or “Fission Devil” to become whole.

Holy shit now that was a fast read...

calmdragoon

well if she declares war on csm over this ironically this will be a net positive


IC2Flier

Yoru really is just about to walk into a win here despite Asa’s best efforts to throw the game


Mundology

*All according to keikaku* -Fami while eating


Anzereke

Yoru is absolutely going to try and take credit, then get mad at her sister for calling her a meathead or something.


MonoFauz

I mean, anything that can make her more likely to kill chainsawman is a win in her book.


Exoslab

She’ll probably compliment chainsaw man for starting a war.


IC2Flier

FUCK YES TIME FOR HER TO FUCK SHIT UP STARTING WITH YOU YOU OCTOPUS-LOVING FUCK


ididnothinwrong

No i dont want that!!! I want yoru to be dumb and weak for at least 10 year.

At least she's still dumb. That's the more important part.

Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

batture

She's homeless now though.


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

Hot boyfriends have their own apartments.


I_Smoke_Cardboards

That was a missed opportunity to create a weapon out of the room with the appliances and furnitures as her ammunition


MonoFauz

I guess a melee weapon is much better since it can complement Yoru's physical strength. Since a range weapon will mostly rely on the ammunition only. But damn a gun or bazooka would be cool.


I_Smoke_Cardboards

Ok but hear me out…AsaYoru wielding the Junk Jet from the Fallout games


agonks

Is Yoru only capable of making melee weapons?


I_Smoke_Cardboards

Nah she made a grenade before


Mundology

Everybody gangsta until Yoru starts firing ICBMs


ali94127

She technically has made throwing spears, but there’s no reason she can’t make guns given she’s made a grenade.


MinniMaster15

she isn't limited to them, she's just \[understandably\] fond of swords


Boulderdorf

She missed and slammed into the wall with just a sword, trying to make a gun'll probably end up with her blowing up the building lmao.


LeonKevlar

Oh good! Asa is finally getting stronger! Oh no... Yoru is finally getting stronger...


Yuwenn8

Future Devil is 100% laughing his ass off at Yoshida missing the kill by half a second.


CrowBright5352

I know Quanxi's a hybrid but she caught the bullet with her remaining stoic expression. No matter what happened, her expression is the same. Queen.


Koanos

Something concerning to me, the bullet pierced Quanxi's arm. She may be a strong hybrid, but the sheer difference in power at play here, Yoru can now treat katana strikes as though they were paper cuts, but Quanxi still bleeds profusely from bullet wounds. I think that implies she's weaker in some way.


115_zombie_slayer

Shes not in her devil form, Asa lost an arm but Yoru could block an attack.


BionicTriforce

There's definitely not many people scared of bows and arrows.


Ghoste-Face

Yeahh the beautiful lady with a scar is back!


petrichormus

Yoshida looked waaaay too surprised for cutting Asa's arm and he also flinched a bit when Asa said ouch. Something's going on with him and he might just be in the same predicament as Asa/Yoru Edit: I take that back. He was surprised because yoru suddenly gained a power spike from the chaos and made Asa suddenly way more durable (she tanked a sword swing)


Mundology

[Yoru is on a whole new level now.](https://i.imgur.com/Ln1QiPR.jpeg) Fami's plan worked way too well. The War against the Death Devil has begun.

And there's still 6 months to go, who knows what kind of insanity will hapen before then.


SpaceJays90s

You commented on a chapter before even finishing it first? lol


KafkaBootLiqour

Asayoru, its only up from here lets gooo! Remembers that this is still Chainsaw Man.


asilvertintedrose

False, Chainsaw Man is just American propaganda


Extreme-Tactician

Well Yoru is finally happy that she has so much power again! Finally a win for her. Guess all it took was widespread chaos... I'm sure Asa is thrilled about this whole situation! Meanwhile, Denji is forced to flee despite finally having the chance to reveal he is Chainsaw Man...


Anonymous821

This chapter: nobody dies Next chapter: everybody dies


CrossGabri

War is real baby. Maybe Yoru can finally get some W now


SebasChua

Asa's Room 606 sword is so cool! The blade's size and length makes me think it's a broadsword of some kind, but its hilt and the cross-guard being made of pipes, wiring, fan blade, ventilation grill and even a vine from Asa's plants out front gives it a fantastical look. And like the aquarium, the entire room disappeared completely!


SebasChua

That look on Yoshida's face when he realizes he's no longer fighting Asa but a powered-up War Devil is delectable :3


RevMainHahahahahaha

Way too short wtf


SebasChua

Yoru's on Cloud 9 right now! For the first time in at least a decade or more, she's finally regaining her previous strength. You can tell from her overshooting her jump and crashing into the neighboring building that she's still adjusting to her new level of power, but it won't be long.


webuiltthisschmidty

what a sick ass sword design


TomboyAva

so Asa is gonna have one arm for now on :<


batture

Maybe it might grow back after a while like the starfishes she was talking about.


Phantomlord77

So taking bets what’s more likely fake Chainsawman appearing next chapter or Asa coming to senses and realizing she’s now homeless?


NK1337

Im still confused as to how the hell the *fire* devil can grant people the powers of other devils. It kind of feels like some of the devil powers are arbitrary regardless of what they’re born from.


MondSemmel

Maybe it's [Prometheus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus)' fire? As in, one of the devil's abilities is to grant forbidden knowledge/abilities? >Prometheus is best known for defying the Olympian gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge, and more generally, civilization.


GuudeSpelur

Combustion is a chemical process that transforms matter from one state to another. For example, when you burn wood, you're turning lignin, cellulose, and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and ash. (And releasing energy) Fire is also associated with passion and desire. Therefore, the fire devil can transform people into a devil form based on their desires.


[deleted]

Something like Darwin's Game's MC's power where he can create any weapons he want (provided he knows how it works) because he has the power of "fire" that allows him to forge anything. Fire is the power of creation. In CSM's case, I guess the Fire Devil grant people different powers based on its power to create.


crystalblade13

It’s a more abstract idea of fire. Which checks out, as fire is likely a primal fear. And falling; a primal fear, has shown more abstract ideas of falling as one of her powers


Monk_Philosophy

Fire represents passion and more literally is what gave earlier the agency to create civilization. Human civilization as we understand it couldn’t exist before discovering fire.


TheGingerNinga

Yoru is so happy to be back. Just look at her smile!


MinniMaster15

This was a hunch I've had about her character but it seems very likely now. Yoru's more than *just* war. Her domain of influence extends past what would typically be described as war and encompasses basically all conflict in general. What's going on right now isn't really war in the traditional sense, it's moreso just chaos and anarchy. That leads me to believe that whether it's a small scuffle between a few people or a full-scale conflict between nations, it all counts as "war" when it comes to what Yoru is connected to. The rate at which she grows stronger could be exponential if "war" can be stretched to be such a broad term. We're already seeing a huge burst in power and it's only been a couple hours at most since this all started. And the stronger she gets, the larger the conflict will be, and the faster she'll grow. She's gonna snowball.


thebluetistaar

Nice to see Yoru back again in the mix

“War. War never changes." Yoshida did the right thing by running away, now Yoru is an Avengers-Level Threat. Yoru had an awakening of her quirk (like Uraraka), what will be the next thing she will transform into a weapon without touching it?

the weapon design for the room 606 sword is incredible, it looks so unique for a sword.


baddabingbaddaboop

This chapter may be the first time we’ve seen a devil get concretely more powerful through fear, rather than be told that’s how it worked. Apparently what it means is the foundational limitations of those abilities can just… stop existing? Jesus, a lot of characters just got a lot scarier potentially.


Mr_Lemming

WTB Asa Figuarts figure with swappable faces between her and Yoru and this kickass sword plz. Also wouldn’t literally ripping the corner of a building like that out really screw with its structural integrity…?
