Chainsaw Man - Ch. 210 - Peace

[Realms_Beyond]

We've now reached reddit tier politics. Only way forward is down.

Forget those devils, the taxes devil will make her unstoppable

Do not say that vulgar word EVER AGAIN! I HATE TAXES!

 

[kodakato]

That one panel of Yoru with her hand on the chest somewhat resembles Makima to me.

 

[catsdontsmile]

to whoever called this last episode, I just want you to know you doomed the loser couple ship

I’m confused. Did denji un erase nuclear bombs after being killed or did Americans discover nuclear bombs for the second time? The fact that they say it’s the very first time being used and it’s against the Soviets makes me think it’s the second

I demand my internet points

The title of the episode is peace... Waaaah
Turning Fall into a jacket won't be explained I bet

Let me try, it's because Americans are always at war, which leads to their down(fall).

All those lesser devils tremble before IRSatan.

Criticising Chainsaw Man Part 2 is anti-patriotic.

Yoru be like:

 

[B_R_U_H]

Geez tell us how you really feel Fujimoto 💀

 

[Figroth]

Not gonna lie, the images of the devastation are pretty chilling, but even more so is the panel of the people cheering while looking at the reports of the explosions.

 

[Erricane]

Yoru in denial she's in love with Denji. Asa is her last hope.

Japan was responsible for at least 7 million civilian deaths in WW2 alone.

 

[DarkeLourd]

Yep its very much for people who grow up in the crazy ahh atmosphere of the Bush era and doesn't have a more nuanced image of their country

The more nuanced view is that America has been contributing MUCH MUCH MORE to war on a global scale than just the fights we've picked in the Middle East since 1990 (don't forget we did Desert Storm over a decade before 9/11), or the less direct "world police" angle they take by having so many military personnel stationed around the world in non-active-combat roles (which is what Team America World Police by the South Park guys was lampooning). The US Government has also been heavily responsible for the manufacture of weapons uses by groups on all sides of many, many conflicts.

It's easy to forget that part of what "military-industrial complex" meant is, in fact, the industrial side, aka manufacturing, of weapons. After all, that's a term that's been getting made fun of online since before AOL. But the US government pays for both actual purchasing of guns, tanks, missiles, planes, etc. for their own use, but also for the R&D into developing and improving up weapons that end up sold (another payday!) to everyone else.

So even if we aren't sending our own poor people to kill your poor people, or we don't have ships patrolling your waters, or even if our government didn't sell you the weapons THANKS OLIVER FUCKING NORTH, American money is probably STILL driving your conflict, because we gave Lockheed Martin or whoever the comically large pile of money they spend on building the weapons they sold the people shooting at you.

And the worst part is, none of this is even remotely NEW. It's pretty much been constant since World War 1, and I don't mean when the US officially joined in 1917. And it's not JUST the US that's doing this, but it is MOSTLY us.

I hate having to talk politics in this sort of environment, I just take it very seriously when I do.

What the hell going on, cuh?? 😭

 

[Senpaithatfriendzonesyou]

Don't try to make America great again, let America make you great again first. I don't know what the author uses, but it seems that with each new chapter the quality of the product improves greatly.

son, that's pure crazy. It's the kind of crazy that has not been influenced by drugs, but has in fact been influenced by dystopian boredom and paying attention to the world. I let the guy cook, and now i am eating well.

 

[PhallusHydra]

Thank you fujimoto, very incoherent

 

[Senpaithatfriendzonesyou]

Ok, so my understanding, is now people fear war more than death, because they don't want to survive in pain. So war is now the strongest of those devils, at this time. This is probably going to open up a pandoa's box of fear that will change the world. Devils that were ate are going to come back. Cold war hysteria along with other things we have gotten over are now back.

come back next week for more wacky adventures of denji as chainsaw man.

 

[StellaIsSleepy]

what an original political commentary 😭

 

[Njin]

Oh my god, this is so fucking hilarious! And so typically japanese too, taking the complete piss out of the U.S. That's like the #2 favorite passtime of japanese authors, right after writing perverted weirdo shit. And honestly, perhaps the criticism isn't so wrong...

I thought CSM 2 so far was kinda mid, but this chapters satire is incredible. Sugoi

Looking at the Mangaplus comments, I don't understand why everyone's so eager to presume Fujimoto's making some political commentary.

What would it even be?

I don't know how many old series you've read, but there are a fair number of japanese works that throw not-so-subtle shade at the U.S, featuring the U.S either as outright antagonists or utter incompetents. Whether you blame the lost world war and some leftover nationalism for it, or Americas rap sheet of questionable foreign policy decision - one thing we can say for sure is, that wholly love the U.S, the japanese do not.

I'm honestly not sure if I would even call it political commentary. It's more like a national passtime...
