chapter 's title : peace / the peace sign / the victory sign : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign

war and peace / war devil and peace sign . the irony , lol .

- war devil : ... watashi , ... ku ku ku ...

page 3 :

- USA peoples / anakin skywalker :
yeah , nuke all the russian b!tches .
we killed them. we killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them.
And not just the men, but the women and the children, too.
They're like animals, and we slaughtered them like animals. we hate them! the russians .

page 5 :

• war devil : your hand forms a paper . while my hand forms a scissors / a victory sign . im the victor , lol .
• falling devil : HAH ? im not playing Rock-paper-scissors with you .

page 12 :

- war devil : you just stay put and watch like a big adult .

and then we have a time-skip ? a few hours have passed ? a few days ? a few weeks ?

then death devil wakes up denji .

• denji : kiga-chan ...
• death devil : actually , watashi was not kiga-chan . you can call me shii-chan ( shi = death ) . or call me little d!ck .

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.

Truly. The war can "stop", but then you could be in a situation where you'd starve with no hope.

"Starvation" devil would be growing 12pack abs at this point.

The "prophesy being about Yoru" theory is getting more and more legit.

 

[YassinTheNerd]

Fujimoto really does hate america (justified).

Because ever since 9/11 American foreign policy and external identity has been defined in opposition to violent terrorism and rogue states (who are le rogue because they kill le people).

This conflation of America with War and Death completely flipped the script on American identity,at least for those guys who live in the shadow of the interventionist muscular national image of the 2000s

The author is Japanese. The history of the reconstituted Japan starts right after two atomic bombs were dropped, with a new constitution written by the orders of the country's new de facto leader, a U.S. general.
Anyone with some knowledge of world history would associate the U.S. with death and war in a modern setting, even more so a Japanese person.

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? "Le America made le bombs, which are le bad and kill le people"? "America revolutionized the war industry"? That's not really "political commentary"-- that's a banal factual statement.

There's nothing to presume, it is a political commentary. This man wrote a story where the physical manifestation of war is in love with the USA. It may not be a particularly deep or nuanced commentary, but it is one nonetheless.

😭 Bro got cucked by AMERICAAAAAA 🇺🇸 🦅 🦅

Americucked!

 

[ansonh92]

Another day of reading comments

 

[Eighty-six]

It may not be a particularly deep or nuanced commentary

It wouldn't even be a substantial commentary. It doesn't indicate anything. It would mean something if the USA was enamored with the physical manifestation of war, but it's the other way around. Does that mean that the United States can't help but attract war, especially since they created the atomic bomb? Or is the point that war is as American as baseball is Japanese?

There's no political commentary here-- just components that look like they might altogether constitute some take-home message if you already assume there was supposed to be one. The only clear communication is that Yoru loves America and (supposedly) not Denji like she led us to believe this entire time, because America made her top guy.

 

[StrangeDoor]

nothing like busty American girls to distract me from whether or not my country is responsible for the deaths of millions of innocents because of our willingness to profit on war

[Lustrist]

As soon as I read those lyrics I sang the star-spangled banner. I llove America

 

[ireeeees19]

Am I the only know who doesn't know what tf is going on anymore and is just reading it just for the sake of reading it.

 

[starbruh]

Japan will never get over the fact that America bombed them. Keep your Japanese waifus close because when Japan awakens…

I feel like gun devil should be stronger than nuke devil because guns feel more of an issue that occurs far more frequently and in different degrees than threats of nuclear annihilation. Though I'd be satisfied if they were like "we used nukes more often" or even just "it's effects are better than gun cause it's a nuke"
