The Death Devil is no more, but Gavin Newsom made a contract with Yoru to make the citizens of California into her human shields. However, no one can die and Chainsawman and Yoru are both immortal and can fight to their heart's content. If the Californians are still Yoru's shields....Oh boy. Guys I think Fujimoto hates California.

Sucks to be a Californian. But if I had to guess, Pochita wanted to piss Yoru off by denying her a satisfying victory over himself of Lil' D. Probably to manipulate her into stopping the whole final battle plan, although I don't know the specifics.
But this situation sort of reminds me of his previous work Yogen no Nayuta, where there's an end of the world prophecy no one wants to come true but everybody feels bound by. Lil' D doesn't want to kill humans, Denji and Asa want to live a normal life, and Yoru is too dumb to realize that becoming the ultimate boss bitch of everything won't fix her life.
Basically, only Yoru is forcing this situation so they just have to get her to stand down or stuck in hell like Lil' D wanted. Given what Denji surmised about Pochita's plan, he's probably trying to do the former instead of the latter and plans on vomiting Lil' D up later.
 
Looks like I was about 10 chapters too early when I assumed Denji was going to break the world to save Asa with some boneheaded third option scheme.
 
Very nice moments for Denji and Asa this chapter.
Yoru telling Death Devil (I refuse to call her "Lil' D") that she disgraced the sisters made me remember again we haven't seen any of them interact with the Control Devil.
I wonder if we'll see the reincarnation after Nayuta eventually?

I had seen this film in theaters twice and I am so glad I have, it is just amazing and honestly I think this should be the only Chainsaw Man arc that could work as a movie and stay that way.

It's a pretty faithful adaptation but it really enhances Reze as a character for me much more than I thought I'd like her while Angel also gets a bit of a boost here.

The music and animation (even as someone who enjoyed Season 1's style, the movie's style is more impressive) )were absolutely perfect, and that pool scene has to be one of the greatest scenes in film for the year of our lord 2025, and I never expected this film to just be this great.

I honestly went in expecting this to really be an 8/10 or a bunch of stitched up episodes like the Demon Slayer movies, but it is far beyond what I expected that I offer my glaze to those who worked their asses off for this film.

The scene where Reze bites out Denji’s tongue was so fucking perfect and my favorite, but the pool scene was marvelous as well.
My particular favorite detail was the moth in the web in between the eroticism of them swimming. It’s on the nose but it works.
And the soundtrack was peak, the whole thing was peak.
 
Gavin Newsom (or Gray Davis in 1999, a guy who seems equally as likely to sell his soul to the War Devil just by looking at him.) selling his state out to the War Devil is the funniest shit since Makima asked me about Nazis.

I don't know how this dude gets his ideas but I love him.
 
Tangentially related to CSM. The Tatsuki Fujimoto anime came out and it's actually fucking great.
I've seen the first two episodes so far and they were both really good.
I had enjoyed the one-shots, but the high quality production of these adaptations really improved the stories.

I'm not good with Dragonball but on the topic of Katana Man, I hope we get to see him again soon.
Miri being free again, should also mean KM is out there too.
I want at least one more highlight for him
km hero.webp
 
Making an entire state a sword is pretty bonkers. In the best way possible.
 
wait a minute
the protagonist is being beaten by the power of friendship!?!?!

I really appreciate Fujimoto's commitment to making an absolute mockery of power scaling as a concept.

Of course it's absolute bullshit. Power isn't a linear scale at all. Like, imagine an absolute unhealthy slob taking a gun to a swordfight. His opponent is the healthiest, strongest guy to ever live. Who will win? The guy with the fucking gun.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but the amount of grown ass men who can't realize this is astonishing. For fuck's sake, how many people of the past two generations have ever been in a fight? The guy who swings first has, what, a 70% chance to win? It's ridiculous.
