WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUT CHAPTER 115 SAW, THE SHORTEST CHAPTER OF THE PROGRAM chainsaw man Completely fake the fans in the worst way possible by conveying exactly what the critics know the worst is going to be.
10 short pages chainsaw man Chapter 115 of Tatsuki Fujimoto begins with Asa Mitaka learning that the man she thinks is Chainsaw is not. Then, after Denji’s brief conversation with his former Demon Hunter colleague chainsaw manYoshida’s final pages show Denji finally hooking up with Asa Mitaka after a bad date and trying to cheer him up.
While it’s clear that Fujimoto is laying the groundwork for something big, the fact that this chapter is almost half the length of its usual 19-page format minimizes the emotional core of the story and fills in the gaps that were left unresolved. generated by interactions that don’t really drive the ‘evolving’ plot of the series. chainsaw man The Demon of Eternity has locked Denji and Mitaka in an aquarium, and many readers were excited that it would force the two main characters to interact with each other after their terrifying date. But then the series added a lot of other characters that were also stuck there, reducing the interaction between Denji and Asa.
chainsaw man These interactions should be ignored
Chapter 115 not only does that, but it actually removes the best source of conflict the other characters might have to offer. Ise Miharuka shows off a chainsaw that activates the chainsaw on her chest, just like the real Saw, creating tension since Yazo’s goal is to kill the real hero. Although she believes Isemi to be the Chainsaw Man, which increases pressure on her to turn Denji into a weapon, it creates tension between the three. But in Chapter 115, Isemi removes the potential source of conflict by telling her that he is not a Chainsaw.
Chapter 115 also introduces a discussion between Denji and Yoshida, which proves problematic. Although Denji and Asa end their speeches at the end of the chapter, their 4-page discussion can span 10 pages. Seeing Denji emotionally bond with Asa would be a drastic change in their dynamics. Of course, Denji could use his previous conversation with Yoshida to help Asa feel better, which at least proves it. in the previous chapter chainsaw manWhen Asahi Mitaka reveals that she has a phone she can use to call for help, she almost becomes the group’s savior. But Asha, since she was a bum, broke it. Since Yoshida tells Denji that even if Azo doesn’t damage her phones, she can’t save them, Denji can use this information to cheer her up.
But are all these other interactions necessary for Denji to do this? Even before the other characters joined, Danji dumped Asha on a failed date with him, which made her feel bad. chainsaw man put her in a position where she needed encouragement. In fact, the way Denji tries to do this at the end of chapter 115 doesn’t even incorporate what he learned from Yoshida. He just talks about how she eats starfish without sacrificing her ideals. It’s more touching (and better reflects Denji’s personality) than he tells her what Yoshida told him. Some people may say chainsaw man Something bigger is being built, but the series could do that more effectively by forcing Denji and Asa to interact more.
