Something a lot of people are not talking about is that Asa, and Denji do genuinely care about each other. Asa doesn't want Yoru to turn Denji into a weapon and as such she wants him to stay away from her despite her own personal feelings. Denji agrees to stay away from Asa in order to avoid Nayuta turning her into a dog, despite it being obvious that Denji also has feelings for Asa as evident by his comments about her being different, and him outright saying he kinda of likes her.
So in way this is sort of star crossed lover situation where both parties can't be together because of the threat of outside influences.
Agreed. It's even further complicated by the fact that while Asa cares about Denji and doesn't want Yoru to hurt/kill him (aka turn him into a weapon), Asa does want to find and defeat Chainsaw Man in order to fulfill her deal with Yoru and regain full control of her body again.
This is despite the fact that Denji straight up tells Asa (and by extension Yoru) that he is in fact Chainsaw Man. However, Asa doesn't believe Denji and thinks he's just BSing her in an effort to impress girls. I mean, Denji wears CSM merch, which doesn't help his own case, lol.
🥺
Romeo and Juliet style
@@soc7967 i hope both of them don't die in the end.
Nayuta wasn't wrong to see Yoru as a threat. As much I like Yoru/Asa dual character as main character, they are really bad for our boy Denji.
True
I hope they can split soon and Her and Denji can Finally be Happy 😭
@@amparocruz951 Careful. This isn't that kind of Manga/Anime sadly.
@@amparocruz951 careful this is chainsaw man not optimistic man

One thing I like about Nayuta’s controlling nature is that it was far less imposing and strict than Makima. Denji makes a point of challenging her authority and not letting her word be law, and even the dogs have flashes of disobedience as they try and steal Nayuta’s food. The only time Makima ever came close to having her authority challenged was being unable to control Kishibe. It’s a nice difference that I think tells us that Nayuta can definitely learn to progress into a more healthy person
Screw being a healthy person she need to take greater control of the dogs and increase her power to take over the world
@@staraptorflock3661 right cause that worked so well last time 😒
@@winxbuneari5430 It'll work this time Deji doesn't have it in him to kill Nayuta
The tragedy is the more healthy she become, the less power she have. When the bigger fish come, she will not have enough "Makima" to protect her family
@@osirisshadoll4572 oh fuck you may be right about that plot
A thing to consider about Denji's "feeling" towards Asa being different is that, from his perspective, this is the first girl that has feelings towards him not because he's Chainsaw Man, but because he's himself, given that it hasn't been revealed to Asa that he's Chainsaw Man
Well, he has, she just doesn't believe him 😭💀
Actually Reze liked him. I mean Denji. Even though it looked like she didn’t like him. Before she ran away she remembered denji and decides that she actually wants to run away with HIM. Not chainsaw man. But before she could reunite with him, she was killed by makima.
@ArjunPrasad-ou1jl while she did end up liking him, at first Denji had the impression that she only interacted with him because he was Chainsaw Man, which of course Reze confirmed otherwise, so far Asa has only known Denji as himself
What i like about Nayuta is that she's actually way different than makima where she's caring about Denji and actually seeing him as a friend/companion and most likely even one of her family
She still a bit controlling, but they are more selfless than selfish
@@damonlam9145 i mean it's in her natural as the embodiment of control to be a bit in control thh i think that nayuta is different than makima in a sense when she said that denji was her property i think she meant in her own fucked up way that his her own family and she doesn't want to share it and what make me believe this is when he said nayuta come first she was genuinely happy
@@boualiracim2939 ow yeah she’s definitely the overprotective sister who doesent want to share her brother with another person especially another women. I imagine it makes her feel out of control and like someone might try to take her only family away from her.
@@dragb9284 exactly
a small thing that people don't notice is that Nayuta isn't using her chain link ability on her dogs when she was eating, unlike Makima who would definitely do that in a skip of a heartbeat, and only uses it on the those who seek to harm Denji. All those hugs and lessons did have some sort of effect on her and Denji did raise her well
I thought it was also interesting that Nayuta's dogs are not completely obedient, but she still loves them nontheless. This is a pretty drastic change to Makima.
The chapter even had Nayuta making the 'bang' finger gesture when she's stating out the two conditions, with Denji in the background. Fujimoto really having a lot of fun with all the Makima symbolism.
It actually makes a lot more sense for her to be possessive of Denji, to an extreme degree. She probably doesn't even know that many people outside of Denji, and she certainly wouldn't know anyone with whom she could share her identity of Control Devil. She wants to monopolise the one person with whom she has a genuine and honest relationship, even if the methods she employes are disturbing.
Nayuta is not looking like a 3-4 year old girl it seems
Yeah... She's still a child - that's how I see it
Something that came to mind regarding this. We're all assuming Nayuta *can* sense something off about Asa due to having Yoru. However, can she really? It's entirely possible that Nayuta is using her knowledge of Denji's past history with women as an excuse to keep people, particularly women, away from Denji to monopolize him, not knowing of any actual ill intent from Yoru or Asa
Let's remember. Nayuta's first words upon seeing Asa kissing Denji was "Thief." If she sensed *anything* like Yoru, I don't know if all she would've done was throw out an accusation of someone "stealing" Denji from her and just turn Asa into a dog.
@@1mol831 she looks 7-8
@@KiraDaBeastNY but then how do you explain all the bird stalking the plot in previous chapters. When I see birds flying; getting there own panel; I immediately think control devil.
Nayuta is truly the control devil raised by Denji, its actually quite complicated to think of raising a powerful child that represents the fears of humanity, but she isnt Makima and while she is controlling its just her being a child and a good one truly, she is expressive and everything she does is probably just rules at home stablished or allowed by Denji
I feel like the reason Denji agreed to it in the end is because Nayuta said she has a bad scent, and Denji is well awarr Nayuta would have a GREAT scent for identifying things, so if Asa has a bad scent according to her, Denji assumed it might have been the best to cut her off after all.
Also, theory time! The contract might be broken in the future, because eating ice cream daily will eventually hurt anybody's teeth and Nayuta's no exception, meaning the contract will break on both of their accords because Nayuta won't want ice cream that day and thus Denji won't buy her it.
wording-wise, that wouldn't work unless the japanese version is different, as Denji is required to allow her eating ice cream and not getting friendly, while Nayuta is required to turn her back
the one way for it to work is Denji himself not allowing her to eat it, and he still has to abide by the no friendly rule or she would turn her into a dog
My personal theory is Nayuta will overfart due to eating this much ice cream, thus being the top farter of march as per the fart competition. The winner, be it Denji as the lesser of the farters, or Nayuta as the top farter, would void the contract as the competition prize, due to the umbearable amount of farts Nayuta emits
The contract implies only if Dennis gets some ice cream to if he refuses it's not broken
@@Satepin genius
@@Satepin I can't believe that this sounds reasonable for me...
Yooo vel I found u again
Praying this isn’t like other Fujimoto sibling relationships
Yeah I'd be pretty disappointed if it ever went in that direction lol
It doesnt seem like that tbh it seems more like a spoiled child afraid to loose her only caretaker
@@NINJAMUSHI She feels like the jealous little sister in a romcom/harem manga (with just being jealous that she can't spend time with her brother as much)
Context please
@@mantassalavejus7625 read Fire Punch lol
It's funny but now the one I'm worried about is Yoshida. We know literally nothing about him like his motivations, his actual contract, how does he appear everywhere, who is he working for, etc. and now with this cliffhanger of him asking Asa to hang out and with the chapter being titled "Triangle" it can easily be interpreted in many ways.
Yoshida is definitely the death hybrid. He keeps making hand signs that mean something involving death, and death is the only horseman we haven't seen yet.
I guess what what war said about her powers being weak is true, since she was a literally converted into a dog by nayuta without even giving a chance to say a word or to defend herself.🤔🐱
Bit didn't makima said about controlling those who she views lower than herself, If that power is shared through incarnations of control.
Nayuta probably controlled Asa
through an ego of a child's Innocence.
People in this universe aren't afraid of war anymore. Cuz they probably forgot most of them.
“Weezo”
- Nayuta
I read an interesting theory on another UA-cam channel where someone posited that since Nayuta, as the Control Devil, has the ability to alter the memories of others, could it be possible for her to unlock and restore Power's memories (and personality) to the newly reincarnated Blood Devil or Blood Fiend?
It's a cool theory and we could possibly get Powey back but in another body/appearance. The Violence Fiend showed that it's possible for the Devil to retain some memories and personality from the body of the deceased it happens to possess. Now, could this also be true for the Devil itself unlocking/retaining memories of its past lives via the reincarnation cycle? Well, the answer is yes because we've seen it already with best boy Beam (aka Cherubim the Shark Fiend) who recognized Denji as Pochita aka "Lord Chainsaw".
It is an overly optimistic outcome though so I doubt Fujimoto would go through with such a plot point (the least of which being why Nayuta would even grant such a favor to the Blood Devil/Fiend when Nayuta has shown to be a really jealous brat and very possessive of Denji, and wants him all to herself).
I wonder what Denji feels towards Nayuta, does he hate her? Does he like her? Or neither?
@1mol831 Bruh why would he hate her.
I think Nayuta is gonna be the character who can call out other character's bs, while i think her possessiveness will play a role, I think she'll also be the first to recognise when a character has ulterior motives in regards to denji. resulting in situations like this chapter where she acts in Denji's best interest, but he can't see it that way because he doesn't have the context she does.
One other thing I like is that it adds more to what is Asa after her death as it basically confirms she’s not a hybrid or a fiend as Nayuta would of realised it as just how Makima could smell that denji was both human and devil, Nayuta smelt something unusual which means Asa can’t be a hybrid because after all this time with Denji that sorta smell would be recognised and she’s not a fiend because that would of just smelt of a devil to her and its that unknown smell that makes her act like she does which makes me think she would be a lot more hostile had she smelt Yoru and realised she’s a devil
I don't think it really borders on toxic per se. It's a very accurate representation of siblings just being siblings, but with much less arguing. Nayuta just needs to ease up on her affections, although from a reader's perspective given the facts we know her control was definitely the best move here
I noticed how you used the word “compromise” to describe Nayuta’s decisions. An equal agreement where both parties both sacrifice one thing. Despite Nayuta having more power and control than Denji, it seems as if she’s picked up some morals for having equal relationships. I’m curious as to how this can help Denji in the future or if Denji’s ways of raising her will backfire and she will become just like Makima again.
She also Doesn't really have more power or control than Denji. He killed the last control devil and could definitely kill this one if he wanted to.
I don't see Nayuta as being all that different from Makima. Makima also acted to protect Denji at various times - because it was in her own longer-term interest. And Nayuta wants Denji alive because he provides food for her. A simpler desire, but still self-centered. I don't think we've seen anything out of Nayuta (yet?) to show that she's not just as selfish as Makima was - just with a simpler, more childish mind.
Idk if you realized it, but every time Makima did something good to Denji, it was either to:
1. Protect Chainsaw Man
2. Cause Pochita's contract to be broken.
3. To make Denji suffer and lose everything.
And that's not even mentioning the fact that Makima controlled Denji via his pain and suffering, while Nayuta just controls Denji to protect him. Denji wanted Asa to be ok but Nayuta clearly sees her as a threat because of her smell, so demanding ice cream to free her is just a trade of Denji getting what he wants and Nayuta getting what she wants.
Great video as always, I'm excited to see where the store goes from here
Got into CSM recently and found this channel. Absolutely fantastic, love your videos. Wish you great success
thank you, means a lot :)
I honestly love Fujimoto. (And am angry with him.)
Out of so many piece of fiction, he succeeds in truly making me feel for these characthers despite me knowing they are not real.
Mannn idk. I know Nayuta probably saved denji in the long run but she didn’t have to do it like THAT. And denji fr let that lil girl do him like that
It's still far better than out right killing her. Makima wouldn't hesitate.
She's like if Power had Makim's ability
4:09 Such a great video, and great conclusion!
Good analysis as per usual. I think you give Nayuta little bit too much credit thou, while she's clearly caring about Danji she's still a child and her primary motive in this case is more of keeping him all for herself and explanation of girls always trying to kill him is more of an excuse. She just happens to be right.
Nayuta’ being a callback to Fujimoto previous work bound to overdo her demonic nature (The Control devil this time around) and at some point Denji will have to sand up to her and give her a good scolding like older brother sometimes should.
That being said - their power dynamic is interesting to watch already all the deals, compromises are a good way of showing priorities and inner working of this duo.
This was exactly my thinking. A lot of people are assuming that Nayuta can sense Yoru or something, but we have no reason to believe this. It's entirely possibly that Nayuta is making up Asa being a threat as an excuse to keep her away from Denji because she's a woman, using Denji's past traumatic history with women as an excuse. She doesn't know Asa is some strange hybrid with a devil hostile to Denji in her head, Nayuta is lying to make the deal easier for Denji to accept, the lie just happens to be true unbeknownst to either Denji or Nayuta.
@@KiraDaBeastNY I meant be fair, she comment on her scent and we know that Makima could smell devils and used her nose to distinguish between people. She just doesn't know what that smell means yet but it is also combined with her incredibly possessive nature since she made an entire rule about not letting other girls kiss Denji.
@@NoMustang273 Ah you're right Makima could smell devils. Forgot.
KEEP THE RIZZ GOD (Yoshida) AWAY FROM ASA!👹 😭
The chapter is called Triangle so we probably know what direction this takes
Yoshida already rejected Asa so we're good
Probably he wants to keep her away from Denji.
Bro I'm praying fujimoto doesn't go that route. It would be extremely dull and cliché. I like the star-crossed lovers aspect that it has right now, but having a love triangle would be very boring.
@@yourmotherisaseal5239 Also very frustrating and kind of heartbreaking ngl

I like that Fujimoto wants to do Makima redemption arc but in a way where people would actually like it rather than just Makima turning over into a new leaf without any good reason at all. This is the best way to go about it because Nayuta and Makima is practically the same, they want control but the way they go about it differs base on their intentions. Nayuta is basically Makima's redemption arc.

Geart video man 😏👍
thank you!
I just notice a loop hole in the contract. It was made when Yoru was dominant, meaning that technically it doesn't apply to Asa.
im not sure why everyone says its a contract. every other time that we have seen a character make a contract it had explicitly said that they are making a contract. this looks and frels like just a compromise between siblings
you forgot to mention the most important part of this chapter, my boy hirofumi stepping up to NTR denji at the end
Take your L shitposter
Lmao
I really wonna see more wholesome moments between denji and nayuta
I just hope soon we get a power reincarnation
nuh uh!!!1!!
What I like most is that even tough Nayuta is the Control Devin she isn't even able to fully control her own dogs properly which is kinda cute compared to Makima which dominated in very single aspect.
Nayuta is the Sister we need. To protect us from the dangers of other people.
It's clear to see that Asa interaction with Denji stop here, for a moment.
Sure, Yoru's objective is to kill chainsaw man, but this time she will fight the fake chainsaw man.
Asa/yoru probably use haruka (who interested on asa) as weapon to defeat the fake chainsaw man.
So, if you want to see denji and asa romance, you have to wait a little longer.
"makes everyone happy" i highly doubt that
Could you do manga review on cyber academy new manga 🙏 let me know ur thoughts 🎉🎉🎉
I think what makes Nayuta different from Makima was actually showen in this chapter. Unlike makima nayuta generally cares for denji and doesn't want him to get hurt. Her control is more protective then makima's which was abusive. This is show cased more with nayuta's willingness to compromise with denji instead of just killing Asa like makima would have done.
Another thing I want to point out. We still have to wait for Denji to get power back and it seems want the author is doing is rather simple. Denji saw power as a sister because she reminded him of the one he lost but now he has nayuta. Denii and power are going to end up together and Asa will become a way for him to get power back.
Another chainsaw man anime’s theme song in this video sound from 0:00 till 3:20😂(but tbh, idk why people think Denji isn’t the main character, Denji is the protagonist…and also the mc too seems crazy right? The truth is, I mean if they watch anime until reading manga till now they can see him as the mc, I mean it’s simple, Yoru is the tritagonist, and asa the newest side character)
Asa is actually listed as the MC of Part 2 in the volumes
@@terrigo3987 nope Denji is the MC, you all just be saying that she appeared in part 2 first? Bro you all don’t know how to find which character is MC, plus if someone said Denji is the protagonist then they literally searched google for no reason, BRO ARE YOU ALL FUJIMOTO?no!then don’t say that since we all know none mc can be changed to be protagonist since part 1 of the anime and episode 1, he’s the mc no matter what, asa is the protagonist no matter what or either side character, Yoru is tritagonist no matter what, keep it simple you asa fans🤦♂️
Tell me who has been in anime MORE than everybody COMBINED? Who has the best plot? Who has been so dumb? Who has been so childish? Who has been having a weird dream then changed his dream so fast? Who has been so simp? Every mc in anime are like that, Asa is literally or WAS in like only 30-40 parts of manga…Denji haven’t missed a single page
Didn’t fujimoto said Denji is the MC before he make the part 2? Plus in part 2 ASA is like being 30-40 parts, unlike Denji not even missing one, also if you look at their personality, you can see Denji is clearly the MC, I mean you all are so dumb to say asa BLUD FAMI HAS MORE CHANCE TO BE MC THAN ASA FYM☠️🙏
You have serious problems if this is how much you type up to one sentence
@@syznfef_editz I think of it like Jojo. Jotaro is the MC of Part 3, but even though he’s in Part 4 he’s not the MC.
Nayuta might be denji true friend / companion, i mean she aint killing him and she is like protecting him in her own way right?

Is dead
People forget Nayuta is a child, who knows how is she going to be later as an adult. maybe she is worst than Makima XD
I mean, if that were to be the case, I think the story is actively working against itself at that point-tearing down the ideas that it took over 100 chapters to build up
I doubt she'll be worse than Makima since she has a kind of family now with Denji. Dunno, maybe in a later Arc something happens.
