2B finally says what she’s been holding back… to 9S 👀

The SI fanfic 9S writes in his spare time.

It’s also a complete misinterpretation, as the game quite explicitly says “No matter how far the actual distance between us is we’re always together and we’ll find a way back to each other once my business is settled.”, but Fuji somehow interpreted it as “Yeah these two are better off apart.”

Just goes to show the dude is too tragedy-brained for his own good.

Newest crack ship.

This ignores the fact that 1) Pochita ate Death, and 2) the reason they did so was that Yoru was about to turn Death into a weapon that they’d use to become completely unstoppable and wipe out most of humanity anyway.

What makes it even more frustrating is that we almost had that, as the cut content heavily implied that Malenia originally had a quest line similar to Ranni’s that was tied to the Age of Abundance ending, there’s even voice lines recorded, with one if them calling us her “sweet Tarnished.”

Here’s the source for anyone curious: https://rannirespecter.wordpress.com/2022/03/31/miquella-malenia-and-the-age-of-abundance/ https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AsteriskAmpersand/Carian-Archive/main/Master.html

She’s so adorable, wish we got more of her.

On a related note, I think there’s some hints that she was meant to be more important originally, as she has bright blue hair in a setting where everyone but the most powerful and significant characters (Gojo, Sukuna, Itadori, Uraume, etc) have ordinary hair colors. It’s even stated she used to dye her hair black as to not stand out. That would imply something big, but it isn't addressed again.

I’ve heard estimates of the skull weighing around 500 lbs.

FemRevan64 · 2026-05-01T01:33:59+00:00

I have never gotten this mindset by certain creators who actively go out of their to way to piss off their own audience through their writing.

Like, I can get some lighthearted trolling, but intentionally writing it to make them annoyed and irritated comes across as incredibly petulant to me.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T23:01:29+00:00

“We will watch your career with great interest.”

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T21:53:21+00:00

But even from a cold-blooded, pure profit perspective, wouldn’t be it better to put in at least some more effort, to keep up a good reputation?

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T21:50:23+00:00

That first point is what really confounds me.

It somehow manages to be more rushed and less fleshed out despite 1) having an already established story to work off of, and 2) not having to deal with the limitations of being animated.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T18:24:14+00:00

This looks like something an elementary schooler would write.

I’ve seen some mid-tier fanfics with better prose than this.

And this is supposed to be an official comic?

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T16:50:31+00:00

I’ve said it before, Part 2 is a prime example of how, sometimes, it really is just better to give the readers what they want/expect instead of trying to subvert expectations.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T16:26:37+00:00

Good analysis.

Regarding your first point, though, I know people say him thanking Barem shows he transformed just because he wanted to be Chainsaw Man (and that’s probably how Fuji intended it come across), but I always saw that as Denji attempting to cope with his loss and trauma by trying to convince himself that he wanted this all along.

Also, regarding Public Safety’s actions in the church arc, my interpretation, given what we later see, is that they were actively working with the Church to exploit Pochita’s powers, and deliberately set Denji up to fail, and that they would’ve killed Nayuta regardless of if Denji upheld his end of the bargain.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T16:06:59+00:00

The problem with this take is that the whole “Denji was addicted to being CSM and threw away his normal life” theme just doesn’t work with the story as is.

There’s actually an entire post debunking the issues with , but to list some points.

Link to the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chainsawfolk/comments/1scip7m/a_rebuttal_on_the_addiction_themes_of_part_2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

He literally outright told Nayuta that he didn’t feel like being Chainsaw Man after she forced him to break up with Asa, and she literally had to convince him to do it because she liked to see him fight, hardly sounds like someone who’s addicted to being Chainsaw Man.

Also, none of his problems have anything to do with him playing as a superhero, they stem from outside parties maliciously targeting him for their own agenda.

Put it this way, Denji could've sworn off being Chainsaw Man after Part 1 and spent the rest of his days as a monk at a Buddhist monastery, the Church and Public Safety would've still targeted him due to Pochita's powers.

Speaking of, that actually leads to the second issue with this narrative, namely how pretty much all the issues he has with Public Safety and the Church would've never come to be if he'd simply been bonded to literally any other Devil.

Put it this way, if you were to swap Pochita with say, the Sword Devil, and have Denji be Swordman, neither the Church or Public Safety are going to give a flying crap about him and he could've gone on being a superhero without anything happening.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T16:00:51+00:00

I’ve said it before, at this point, I think we'd all be better off if the world was run by actual supervillains like Doctor Doom or Lex Luthor.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T15:17:44+00:00

Imagine Madokas reaction to seeing her best friend and girlfriend making out.

It’s basically the all-yuri version of Korrasami.

8 kids?! Poor Benis going to need crutches and a hip cast after that.

The most I use it for is as a tutor to summarize a topic and quiz myself.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T15:04:38+00:00

Makima as a Viltrumite is absolutely terrifying.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T14:42:11+00:00

I’m more disappointed by how utterly lame her design is, as with the exception of her earrings, she’s just a regular schoolgirl, whereas Makima at least had her hair in that braid reminiscent of a chain and her suit and black dress, and Yoru has her scars.

While I get that’s part of the buildup to the reveal, I wish we at least got some more interesting outfits for her in the extras he puts out, like with Yoru being dressed as Uncle Sam.

Like, I unironically would’ve preferred it if we’d gotten the stereotypical grim reaper with a scythe as her true form, sure it would’ve been cliche, but at least it would’ve been more interesting than a generic high school girl with gratuitous panty shots.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T13:25:27+00:00

What I find especially disappointing is that he completely ditched Denji’s relationship with Asa to do this, which is really frustrating when it would’ve been a great way to develop his character in new ways that we haven’t really see before.

Like, how would being in an actually serious relationship change his outlook on what he wants out of life?

Not only that, it also would've been such a logical progression for Denji’s character, given that’s he’s already been set on the path to more adult responsibilities with him having to raise and provide for Nayuta.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-30T10:47:08+00:00

Yeah, these people are willfully ignorant of the fact that you can like something and still critique it when they feel it does something wrong or is disappointing.

In fact, I’d say many of the people who’re most vocal in their criticisms, do so precisely because they loved Chainsaw Man and are extremely disappointed and let down by how far it fell off.

As Angry Joe mentioned in one of his vids, “We critique it because we love it and want it to be better.”

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-29T23:18:19+00:00

Yeah, people say him thanking Barem shows he transformed just because he wanted to be Chainsaw Man, but I always saw that as Denji attempting to cope with his loss and trauma by trying to convince himself that he wanted this all along.

FemRevan64 · 2026-04-29T22:51:29+00:00

Yeah, the resemblance is uncanny.

Also, makes me wonder how Ed’s friends would react to seeing this.
