There's some really mystical imagery going on here. Which is, again, made tragically ironic by how insincere Reze's performance actually is.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part two)
Will this end up being a test of the heart that Denji is so proud of himself for having? Or a test of the brain that neither he nor the reader has any reason to put faith in? Possibly both.


Chainsaw Man #37-38: "Train, Head, Chainsaw" and "Easy Revenge"
Anyway, that's the end of the Fireteam crisis plotline.

Chainsaw Man #35-36: "Minor" and "Katana vs. Chainsaw"

Chainsaw Man #28 ("Secrets and Lies")

Chainsaw Man #26-27 ("The Gun is Mightier" and "From Kyoto")

Chainsaw Man #25 and bonus ("Ghost, Snake, Chainsaw" and "All About Power")
Himeno is...well, like I said, it certainly looks like this is the end for her.


Chainsaw Man #19-22

Chainsaw Man #16
We already knew this was not a healthy society, but occasional reminders are always good.


Brainworms (K6BD, CM, and Spectacle
The only one who can be said to be *in charge* is the symbolism itself. And it's not even real.

Chainsaw Man #13: "Gun Devil"
I'm not sure if I can rightly call Chainsaw Man a great work of literature, but I can confidently call it an endlessly entertaining one, and quite a bit smarter than it looks.
