Chainsaw Man - Ch. 222 - Denji Man

[Minty1976]

This is getting extra dumb

That's a good thing

 

[Minty1976]

So peak 🥹

 

[AnotherRat]

Denji! Feels like years since years since I last saw him. And he got a power up too! Nice.

 

[Lunkli]

Yoru literally said "best of three."

 

[omatic]

Wow, non-consensual rock-paper-scissors!? This manga really goes to extremes sometimes.

 

[CurlyBruce]

If it looks stupid but works, it's not stupid.

If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you just got lucky.

Which is on brand for Denji's character given he's Mr. Magoo'd his way to victory numerous times already.

 

[djbubbles]

Fujimoto you clever bastard, a peace sign beating war? That's symbolism baybeeeeee!

 

[Dennis-aka-Denji]

Ok, but how do we call this new chainsaw man? There's already too many! Man Chainsaw? Genius Chainsaw Man?

You know it's gonna be Armored CSM

Denji is the classic ultra dense guy but at critical moments you can count on him having a spark of galaxy brain and turn the tide.

 

[Dennis-aka-Denji]

Shouldn't the radiation be fucking with them both? They're at point zero seconds after the blast

 

[Dennis-aka-Denji]

This is getting extra dumb

Nothing dumb about it, Denji saw in the aquarium that War's powers all all about her perception, so his plan was pretty sure to work. It's also just plain good writing.

This, kids, is why you don't drop out of school.
The world is not ready for the new highly educated genius of Denji coupled with Pochita's strength. He even made himself a proper superhero outfit this time!

 

[Kani1337]

That's a very Tsutomi Nihei looking armor at the end. It has Blame! vibes. Love it.

You sound like Kishibe. But if Denji keeps winning like this, is it really luck?
It's basically Frieren where winning is linked to visualization. In CSM winning is linked to perception due to how devil abilities and contracts work. That's why crazy people make good devil hunters, because their logic is different from a normal's persons, but it still makes sense

Shouldn't the radiation be fucking with them both? They're at point zero seconds after the blast

you're wondering about the effect of radiation on supernatural beings

I gave about two seconds to ponder how most of the buildings around them are still mostly intact

 

[radstylix]

Oh shit, Denji has basically unlocked 100% Chainsaw Man powers: Absolute Denjiman!

I don't know who's more dangerous, Pochita who has probably at least a century of experience (chainsaws were invented in 1918), or Denji who's... well, Denji with "normal" Chainsawman powers.

Yoru is inhabiting what is essentially still a normal, human body.

 

[AbuHajaar]

WE CAN STILL SACRIFICE MORE STATES LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[catsdontsmile]

Normies: This is dumb and shit writing
Literally Fujimoto peak writing planting the seed that sprouted as today's plot twist:
(look at the hands)

 

[Arima002]

After all these years… still relevant.

Although Denji definitely has more than just a few loose screws.
