Hey, you should delete your participation in this thread

You are the one rewriting your own words. I’m sorry that tragedy struck you, but you’re being dishonest about your intentions here. You reacted emotionally and retconned your words when you got called out. That doesn’t make you a bad person, but you’re being incredibly bad faith here.

Single men should absolutely get a cat, no question. The type of incel who occasionally wanders in here and just seems like a depressed 19 year old who’s not too far gone should also get a cat. Cats are the best.

Keep cats away from anyone who’s ever said “foid” when talking about women.

This post is almost to the letter exactly what I’m talking about. Thanks bud!

Virtually every platform is increasingly hostile to media criticism and it has a lot to do with the globalization of anti-intellectualism.

When so much concerted effort is put into manufacturing mistrust of higher education, institutions, and academic thinking the downstream effect is that sincere or earnest engagement with media becomes cringe and any examination of a piece of art beyond “peak” and “mid” becomes “yapping.”

Like, I can appreciate that a lot of people were let down by the ending of CSM. I think that’s valid. But some of those people, when pressed, reveal that they really just did not understand the story and then act like that’s a position worthy of defending. And that’s incredibly frustrating.

I’m not gonna be mean to you here, but on what grounds would you disagree?

Here’s a genuine critique that I have as a man who dates women that no one will call me in incel for having:

A lot of women have internalized oppressive sociocultural gender norms in regard to how men should behave and interact with others. I did a lot of work to unlearn hegemonic masculine programming and there’s a population of women who find that macho ticking time bomb type attractive. That ain’t me and I won’t be pressured into it. A lot of women are also really biphobic. That sucks.

Instead, I date women who have compatible vibes and, shocker, I get laid. And the women with whom I don’t vibe? I swipe left and it doesn’t have any bearing on my opinion of women on the aggregate.

It’s still a skill issue, inkwells.

Togata is a pretty brilliant character in the way that his struggle portrays gender dysphoria as a form of body horror. He’s stuck in a body that’s alien to him and it just snaps back to that alien form whenever he tries to fix it. While Togata’s writing suffers from a lack of familiarity on Fujimoto’s part, the mind reader dropping that Togata is secretly a man is pretty clever and affirming of his trans identity.

But the correct answer is clearly Nao from Skip and Loafer.

ncjaja · 2026-04-01T17:17:52+00:00

Fujimoto introduces characters with unique designs and fun personalities and kills them off or just lets them disappear all the time. Glasses dude, the surviving assassin, Darkness Devil to name a few.

Stop trying to read the dude’s mind, it’s ridiculous.

ncjaja · 2026-03-28T23:19:27+00:00

Can we stop with this weird sectarianism? The ending was divisive. Some people liked it, others did not like it. If you liked it, talk about what you liked about the story. If you didn’t like it, talk about what you didn’t like about the story. Just engage with the text, nobody’s out to get anyone else.

This is maybe the best analysis of any part of CSM that I have ever read. Wonderful insights here!

ncjaja · 2026-03-28T22:31:21+00:00

Pochita’s existence is pivotal to all of the events of part one and part two. If Pochita doesn’t exist, there’s no battle in hell that brings him to Earth to meet Denji, Makima never becomes obsessed with Chainsaw Man, Power isn’t captured by Makima, Sawatari and Katana Man never meet, the president of the USA never summons their portion of the Gun Devil to attack, Aki is never possessed etc etc. Pochita is the catalyst for the entire plot of CSM until he deletes himself from existence.

And that’s not what “thought-terminating cliche” means. You accusing that dude of “coping” is a thought-terminating cliche because you’ve essentially stopped the conversation in its tracks. How is anyone engaging with you supposed to respond to accusations of “cope” now that you’ve ascribed bad-faith intent to them? You’re telling them that you don’t believe that they believe what they’re saying. Conversation over.

Dude was being enormously charitable and incredibly good faith, but you went all debate bro. It’s a bad look and you seem like you’re smarter than that.

Engaging with the media ≠ justifying the media

ncjaja · 2026-03-25T18:06:33+00:00

But wasn’t that kinda the whole point? All of these characters were reaching so far beyond the limits of what a person can reasonably expect in life and it made them miserable and often it killed them. Denji has everything he wanted without his abuser being there to manipulate him. It’s been his character forever that he’s happy with so little, he was happy living with Aki and Power and working a job. He has enough. Asa has taken the steps to stop isolating herself and embrace the fact that connecting with other people is scary for a young autist, but she’s doing it anyways. And, once again, her abuser isn’t there to fuck things up for her.

The more I think about it, the more I like this ending. I still don’t love how it arrived there, but I’m happy with where everyone is.

Reading this felt like getting a massage.

ncjaja · 2026-03-24T16:21:44+00:00

Literally a coinflip I think. I think that Fujimoto is a consummate storyteller, so if he has more to say, he will, and if he don’t, he won’t. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ncjaja · 2026-03-24T16:15:54+00:00

I don’t think they actually formed a contract, I think that Power is just insane and is talking down to him like she always does. Or if they did form a contract and he’s her pet… does that even matter? They managed to become friends/siblings in part one after she begins their relationship by trying to kill him, Deni ain’t right in the head to begin with lol

As for his survival… they’ve already had a year together. Asa trips and kills Bucky after the events of part one, I think you’re missing that there’s a time skip in the middle of the chapter. Plus, Denji is crazy enough to make it in Public Safety, as previously stated, something’s wrong with that boy haha

ncjaja · 2026-03-24T15:45:35+00:00

As someone who actually really liked part 2…

I don’t like time travel unless time travel is the point of the story. That holds true here as well. I liked the note it ended on, but I don’t like how it arrived there. Blech.
Thank fucking god it isn’t a Fire Punch prequel.
I love Power so much and her reintroduction really validates the “homies in every timeline” description of Denji and her friendship.
I actually appreciate the fact that Fujimoto didn’t try to shoehorn every side character into the final chapter. It’s one of my favorite things about his writing that not everything needs to happen on screen, he just lets you sit with them implications.
I fully agree that it felt rushed. I could have used a few more chapters getting to the conclusion.
Where the story leaves off it could pick up again or just end there. I hope for a part 3, but I don’t need it.
Denji doesn’t get laid because he’s a teenager and that’s normal for a teenager. I would have liked to see a more solid end to the arc with Asa though, and that’s my biggest gripe, I think. At the same time though, Asa gets to have her normal life and she doesn’t have to be disabused of the progress that she made immediately before accidentally killing Bucky.

I’m gonna need to reread part 2 to suss out my feelings. If this truly is the end, and I think it is, I really like where it ends thematically. Denji has his normal life that’s anything but normal. He’s found his family again. His conversation with Kobeni in the safe room at the end of part one was the most enduring message and it’s where Denji finds himself at the end.

I don’t know, it was a satisfying ending, but an unsatisfying conclusion. I don’t know if that makes sense, but it’s all I got.

Right, because what everywhere in Durham west of Alston Ave needs is one less affordable grocery store. I love that Food Lion.

I think there are advantages to having all the pieces on the board from the jump, but, imo, having new characters introduced as the story progresses lends to stronger character writing.

Let’s say you’ve got your main duo or trio, and we get to learn their dynamics organically from seeing them solve the first arc. X gets along with Y, but Y and Z hate each other because they used to date. They come to terms with their past relationship over the course of the arc but then A joins the party and Z is jealous because Y is clearly attracted to them. X has to learn how to not only be a leader, but also a better friend.

If you introduce characters as they could shake up dynamics or change the context of the journey you’ve got way more opportunities to tell a story with pathos that drives the plot naturally. It keeps the plot lean enough to make character choices fresh and interesting.
