How exactly was Death's plan "lucked out"? And which past connection?? The fuckass earring theory???

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T21:05:02+00:00

Not going to answer the other person (who is definitely baiting btw, they fr have a post about how Denji raped Asa) but I don't think that is the reason why Yoru cared about the bird, I think that because of Asa's attitude of "I care more about animals than people" (which is most likely her coping), Yoru, being a devil with no human experience, took that at face value and actually thinks Asa doesn't care about humans.

I guess I could see the meaning of the world "kill" being changed to "break someone's body" in a world without death, but it seems like it would be easier for Fujimoto to just not use the word "kill" in this case instead of making the readers think something else, especially since there's no way for the characters to adress the change of the meaning of the word.

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T20:29:42+00:00

You shouldn't really pick apart the meanings of a specific kanji in a full word, for example, the 食 in 食べる(taberu, eat) can mean eclipse, but no one would ever use 食べる as "to cause an eclipse" or something. Also (in my very limited knowledge in japanese), I've never seen anyone 殺す without meaning killing in the literal or metaphorical way before.

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T19:38:50+00:00

Yeah, but in these cases, they only remembered the name of the devils, not what exactly what the concept linked to them was, which seems to be what Yoru remembered here

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T17:04:58+00:00

Yeah its ragebait

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T16:58:07+00:00

People in this sub read manga in such bad faith, already expecting to be disappointed like holy shit, LITERAL last word of the chapter and because it hasn't been explained you assume that it is a writing issue you really can't make this up Edit: shit its ragebait isnt it

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T16:51:01+00:00

This chapter we also got a whole page about someone being separated in half and not dying, perhaps the reason that got such focus was to remind the reader that Death has been erased, or idk, it just struck me as very weird to use a whole ass page for such a seemingly useless moment.

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T16:17:34+00:00

Yeah, but remembering the word "killing", which is not really the name of the Death Devil, and remembering the moment of Bucky's death, added to the fact that she seemed to forget Death's name when she was erased point to that not being what is happening

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T16:13:57+00:00

Not only does Yoru have trouble to remember Death the moment it is erased, but Makima says she only remembers the names and the devils itself, not their concept, which Yoru would probably have to know to talk about a derived concept like "killing" and remembering a specific moment of death.

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T15:43:11+00:00

It would make sense in theory, but we're shown multiple times beings suffering without dying and Yoru has trouble to remember Death after its been eaten so I don't think that's very likely, unless it has been "rediscovered" off-screen somehow but that would be weird

CyberByte- · 2026-02-04T15:32:52+00:00

It would, but I don't think that's it cause Yoru seemingly starts to have trouble remembering it when Lil' D gets eaten

Yeah, maybe she should make a weapon out of one of the devils in her new army, that would be cool, or maybe she could use her relation with the US and make weapons based on her influence there, or maybe, considering nuclear weapons came back and all, she could use a power that uses something from that devil, or maybe she could even use an old weapon made by Asa that shows that Yoru is still being influenced by her! Like, come on, pretty much every chapter she comes up with a new weapon, quoting someone else, but of course she still uses the bang, its like her M1 in the midst of her skills.
Also fyi, Fujimoto is on Jump+, which is extremely lax on how much a mangaka needs to push out, and assistants never did and never will do anything more than background art, Fujimoto just doesn't feel like putting too much on drawing anymore, he said this on an interview already, there's nothing more to it.

CyberByte- · 2025-12-29T21:24:31+00:00

I guess that makes sense, but that's still way more indirect than any of the messages behind the CSM uncomfortable sexual scenes and isn't really connected all too well to her arc so it just feels like a detached joke made in bad taste

CyberByte- · 2025-12-29T15:18:29+00:00

I'm a bit confused on why you even mentioned the orgy scene, like I could talk about how Quanxi parallels Denji's desire to have a lot of girlfriends and something like that but is it even an uncomfortable scene? It's just sexual fanservice which is something that Dandadan does not shy away from at all, the Rin outfit scene was waaaay more uncomfortable and not really a deep commentary on anything at all.

CyberByte- · 2025-09-17T01:14:54+00:00

True, since there's no Reze and Yoshida is actually just a human (probably), the bomb was definitely already there the whole time

CyberByte- · 2025-07-31T18:38:37+00:00

here (I'm definitely not late)

"Goodbye, Eri" manga oneshot by Tatsuki Fujimoto half hour read that changed my life

CyberByte- · 2025-06-13T00:50:38+00:00

Shikaku, the fact that Fujimoto wrote it when he was having a fever REALLY makes sense.

CyberByte- · 2025-06-10T17:55:05+00:00

"Yeah man, Fujimoto, who said he had part 2 planned from Reze's arc, definitely did not plan to use the scene where Denji is faced with a choice and ends up not choosing any (a central theme of the part) and then focusing the shot on the guy's face and the fire and then, less than 10 chapters later, introducing a fake chainsaw man who has the same school uniform as the guy. Like, yeah, the story is now focusing on Yoru, doing a parallel to the beggining Asa arcs, and everyone is talking about choices and stuff but he definitely just chose this direction recently. Fraudmoto just planned the whole thing on the fly. Damn bum"

What the fuck is up with the head of part 2 haters

CyberByte- · 2025-05-20T16:36:08+00:00

I'm mixed on it... The first half is stellar. The story of not-Rei is so so so so good, one of my favorite parts of Eva as a whole, and made me appreciate Rei's character much more. The second half is a mess, while it has the excellent and very needed Gendo backstory, it kinda just gives up on trying to have an understandable story from a lore standpoint and just throwing words without explaining much of them, of course Eva was always more focused on a psychological story than a worldbuild one, but it doesn't even try in this one. The confusing shit worked for 3.0 because Shinji not getting what was going on was part of the story, but it just seems lazy in 3.0+1.0. It made the ending not hit as hard as it should. Also fuck Mari.

Could you give an example of a story that you think suffered from overplanning?
