Why does Fumiko Mifune, the most fuckable Devil pact recipient, not simply have sex with the War and Death Devils?

 

[exLightning]

So she turns people into clones of herself by having sex with them like how STD's are passed on, does that mean she can only turn men into clones?

Does only men get STD's? Thats your answer.

 

[Wildfire_desu]

damn, she WAS crazy after all, she's a mass murderer!
also they all make good points. there's no clear answer except maybe to catch them all and force them to stop their shit somehow, without outright killing anyone. somehow.

Gooner devil

People shitting on Denji for thinking with his dick are missing the point ENTIRELY. There are 3 different factions, all represented by hot pieces of ass (war, death, government) manipulating him with sex, trying to use Denji to further their own goals and in opposition with the other factions.

Denji has literally no means of telling which side is in the 'right' and he doesn't much care anyway. All three factions are murdering liars. It's puzzling and funny at the same time. Going "buhhh mc devolved uhhh he thinks with his dick" is the worst take ever, you're just getting angry at the manga for not being what you want it to be. This premise is peak writing, if you don't like it that's an entirely different matter.

Outside of sex trafficking idk many teenage girls going through the struggles to become international whores to develop a rudimentary intelligence network.

and I don't know any women forced to fight devils to put their siblings through school but Kobeni is still an example of exploitation in the setting of this story. Just because there isn't an exact 1-to-1 in our world doesn't mean that what Fumiko has gone through (presumably for the sake of Public Safety) isn't yet another example of the abuse and objectification of people in the world of Chainsaw Man

Denji is the prime example as the part 1 protag, being constantly used and abused, but it's near-impossible to ignore part 2's further examination of women like Asa and Fumiko suffering under the weight of this world, and how that can connects to our own world

We all get that Denji has turned into a degenerate gooner courtesy of his past traumas and such, but can we move on now?

 

[Jackieboi]

I can understand, but Denji is also a broken boy who has been living a shitty life ever since he was a child.

Things only started looking up after he was recruited even if Makima had an ulterior motive, and then Makima made her move.

He had minimal time to process the death of his friends, seek real relationships, all while taking care of Nayuta... which was also killed.

This type of guy will have a scarcity mindset. A person who didn't have much food will tend to eat as much as they can, just in case. Denji is also that, but also with sexual relationships.

Also, i don't know how responsible Denji is while caring for Nayuta or I might have misremembered it, but he might be keeping dirty magazines in his apartment so he still has no outlet...

I'm sorry, but at first, he had my sympathy, then later pity, but now, I'm just frustrated with him, just constantly making the same mistake over and over again; he just never fucking learns.

Just for once in his life, can he please stop thinking with his noodle downstairs and start using his upstairs noodle!

It's like watching someone stepping on their own rake and getting smacked in the face repeatedly. The first few times, it's funny. Then later you see them still falling for that rake trick and their face is all bloody and swollen and they now have a broken nose, you start feeling pity, but then they still keep doing it, you stop caring and hope that the next hit is what puts them out of their misery. That's how I feel about Denji now.

I read Fire Punch and I was still expecting a better ending this time. I'M SUCH A FOOL

Hot take: the ending to Fire Punch wasn't bad

Just for once in his life, can he please stop thinking with his noodle downstairs and start using his upstairs noodle!

but that's hard...

STOP THINKING WITH YOUR DICK DENJI GDI

 

[Talvos]

Poor Denji is a broken man...

 

[Gfdgvv]

I'm actually trying to figure out how the author is going to write himself out of this because what even is there that the chainsaw man can do that's not kill the war devil and kill the death devil but then again prophecy just seems to reset and go to a new devil so who does it become then?

The only way I could see this being avoided is a really bs asspull where he meets a devil which can go back in time or something and then goes back in time and stops all this from happening or even more stupid idea is some character returns to life and deus ex machina their way into saving the world or something

 

[Gfdgvv]

Bro needs years to recover, and it's only been two years since he and Pochita "died".
And reminder that he's still a (very broken) teenager with absolutely no parental guidance at the moment, or ever.

I'm just saying, it's very hard for someone like that to learn from their mistakes, or recover mentally.

I do get the complaints story-wise though. There's only so many times a man, or in this case, a teenager is made miserable again and again until it gets boring and/or he turns into an Anti-Sue.

Yeah his life is terrible I mean now that I think about it he's probably under a lot of stress. You know having to save the world and he's a teenager who killed his own father along with his mother figure and his best friend and got a girl who genuinely cared about him (power) killed. Then 2 years later he loses his daughter and his girlfriend is possessed by a devil who wants to destroy the world and turn it into basically battlefield. Considering all of this yeah it kind of makes sense that he's a mental wreck who can't make any decisions or focus on anything.

One or two options really left either everyone dies or he just goes home

I understand their frustration though, and there's a limit to my patience too.
