im really happy with how they did this. In the manga it was a page turn, you would see makima sitting on the train and then turn the page and she was shot. I feel like this was the best possible translation of that to screen
yea
They did it straight Tarantino style in this lol
They also changed and added some angles on how the characters are framed. They fleshed it out really well here. Great job Mappa.
yeah true
Mappa has somehow figured out how to make a PERFECT translation from manga to anime. With a TATSUKI FUJIMOTO series. Absolutely incredible.
It's brutal because we were just about to, not only get to know Himeno better but experience a true friendship between Denji and her. This show is amazing.
yea daym 😭😭
I hope denji doesn't go soft and looses his edge but to keep being unhinged. Haven't read the manga but it seems in a world like this, you can't hesitate or get too attached to others, he needs to become a full on demon like Eren. (Based on slight spoilers)
@@GoldenLeafsMoviesmild spoilers, but no one has plot armour. Even denji himself has minimal plot armour
@@krahser6914 I don't know how he'll progress but I'm just saying he'll probably be worn down by everything eventually, which is not a good thing in such a hostile world.
(Also I know what happens to most of them based on spoilers)
@@krahser6914 he already had plot armor in the show. Them taking five hours to put him in the truck was dumb as hell and hes been saved two times now exactly before being fucked. That’s plot armor. In anime it’s normal but it’s still plot armor.
Like many manga readers say. End of the prologue. The story starts here.
@@Rohan-tp9tb how did you comment that
Facts
Reminds me of Tower of God in that regard lol
have my 666 like
I remember how crazy the pace of this story was when reading the manga as it came out. Now that it's being animated 3-4 issues per episode, this show's story just explodes and its going to keep exploding
fax
Can't wait for things to go down to *hell* for all of them.
Yeah i think the part one gonna get 2 season
@@Lazer-bp9lf I aint even gonna lie, that shoulda been a 1 way trip for everyone
15:37 It was explained a few episodes ago (Episode 6 iirc) that he loses years of his life when he uses the sword
Im pretty sure she meant that like how many years? I know I was feeling the same way as soon as he pulled it out
@@maty5510 you’ll find out soon
I'm sure she meant how he got the sword. Not what he trades in return.
@@hy3r691
People who don't know:😁
people who know:😥
reminds me of Kusanagi sword from the darkness 2, Inugami had to feed that sword a wicked soul everyday or lose a year of his life, according to Inugami he has missed 17 days feeding it, so he is missing 17 years of his life.
Some interesting trivia, the kanji of Himeno's name means "princess" (姫 hime) and "field, wilderness, countryside" (野), i.e. "Field Princess", which explains/connects with a lot of the imagery featuring Himeno in this episode's ED, if anyone was curious.
(and for people who are extra interested in the symbolic details of the series, her relationship with Aki also partially connects back to the symbolism of the "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" storybook Aki's parents were reading to Aki's little brother in the flashback in episode 5)
Also the new bad guy is called Katana Man by the fandom IIRC. Also if it wasn’t clear, the Katana Man was actually “killed” by the Curse Devil, but since he’s a hybrid like Denji, and there’s enough blood around and he (or someone else) can activate his trigger (e.g. like Denji’s chest cord), which is presumably what the girl with the Snake Devil did, a hybrid like him can revive himself indefinitely.
For anyone curious about Himeno’s age, the exact number has never been given but the general minimum range can be estimated based on information we know about other characters. Since the drinking and smoking age in Japan is 20, and Aki has been smoking long enough to be addicted and has known beat cops long enough to be going drinking with them regularly, Aki is likely at least 21 years old.
And we can confidently say Himeno is at least 3 years older than Aki, so at minimum Himeno is in her mid 20s if not older.
And for anyone who is genuinely confused/curious, to understand the age of consent in Japan it’s like this: the National Age of Consent is 13 (though there are currently efforts to raise it to 16), but all 47 prefectures of Japan have passed ordinances that make the age of consent 18 (or more specifically ban sexual acts between adults and individuals under the age of 18). So it’s effectively 18 nation-wide.
So if Himeno did have sex with Denji, that would be illegal in Japan since every prefecture has those ordinances, and like she said in today’s episode could be arrested for that.
Aww, the editor put that manga cover of Himeno in flowers at the end of the video. Great touch.
I love how all the editors for these different react video Chanel’s are clearly manga readers lol
Ok, Ive seen 8 reactions to this so far, and out of all of those, you guys are the FIRST ones to say "oh hes like Denji" thank you for somebody actually saying it.
I’ve seen 12 and they’re still the only ones
wdym? Yaboyroshi said it too, the fact that the fox devil said "neither human nor devil" exactly what was said for denji makes it obvious that katana man is kind of like denji
Really? I've seen at least 6 different groups say something like that
@@SansTheSkeleton_ I said out of the 8 I have seen, I didnt say that nobody has said it yet :)
I’m glad I’m not the only who immediately goes and watches 12 reactions as soon as the episode is ever. I feel so represented. ☺️
Now I can just FEEL that happiness seeing anime watchers react as a caught-up manga reader! We’re only NOW past the intro. “Don’t touch that dial now - we’re JUST getting started”
yer
Manga is so fucking wack, you’re experience will NEVER come close to animation ,
"I think grandma hands was a little shaky so she missed" 🤣🤣🤣
The overall ambiance of CSM is like a fusion between Tarantino's direction and the Constantine movie's setting and overall atmosphere. Can't wait for the next episodes!
Wow I’ve never seen the comparison with the Constantine movie, but you’re right.
@@redmangoose182 Brother,
the "Kon!" scenes strongly remind me of Angela getting dragged by someything invisible across the top of the bldg they're in.
The Special Division uniforms, as stylistically drawn as how John Constantine wore it, gives plus points to MAPPA.
The previous cigarette scenes from both Aki and Himeno... Makima's eyes like those of the movie's Half-Breeds' eyes. I really like it! Constantine was one of my fave movies that I grew up with.
What I found the most chilling was that on the train when they shot Makima, the rest of the passengers didn't even flinch or freak out, so there's either some paranormal thing at play or everyone on that train was in on it.
One cool thing to bare in mind is that whenever Makima talk to Denji, you would think she is uplifting him up with her kind words. If you think about what she say to Denji, theyre kinda romantic yet could also mean on complete different way. Like on the lollipop scene. She's so bold and could hint her plans for future while being calm and collected. Too bad it was cut out on here but for me it's the smartest move that the series had in this episode.
"because until you die, you're going to experience a lot of new things.. and you won't have time to think about vomit "
i love how mappa animated the running of every character were not faster than a real human average. they run like normal people run, and adding the expression to trying hard to get faster is just a cool detailed that i loved.
Non-manga readers: "That's messed up".
Manga readers: "It'll get even messier".
“Haven’t met the angel girl yet”
hehe
Angel devil solos
I theorize she's actual Makima, or related to her (They look extremely similar and the eyes kinda give Makima away). Sadly due to spoilers (Makima&Power panel) I know she's not really dead.
@@GoldenLeafsMovies angel isn’t a she
@@Jing_Ling_Uncles is it male or just ungendered?
@@GoldenLeafsMovies male but is very androgynous and so is his lover
The animation is so fluid that if u told me they Rotoscoped this I would believe you.
I believe the ending song's portrayal about how Aki is going to cemetery alone and leaving flower for Himeno and now he is inheriting the legacy of Himeno by being the one who have to see people off in cemetery or himself is pretty cool.
"My grandpa only killed a handful of women and children" Casually leaves out the number of men he killed , made me laugh a lot.
MAPPA's really doing an outstanding job with Chainsaw Man, better than I think anyone would've expected. I just imagined if they'd did all of Berserk, that would be so awesome.
I agree. Berserk is my fav anime but the animation is so horrible after the very first one. I just stuck to manga after that.
Ufotable or MAPPA adapting the full story of Berzerk would be a dream
@@alazkaalazka6087 people say that vagabon is number 1, berserk is number 2 ,and I guess attack on tian number 3, attack on titan is my favorite ,so of they the anime for the others 2, I will be so hype
-Himeno doesnt have an eye, exchanged for the Ghost arm...and the Ghost is covered with the flowers people leave at graves
-Shes at least in her mid 20s because she's old enough to have lost at least 5 partners over the years and has been working with aki for 3 years and she's older than him and she called Arai a kid and he's 22
-Aki has a contract with The Curse Devil and and the nail sword(Nailed to the cross with three nails) reduces aki's lifespan by a lot
-And Pochita did ask for something and made two deals with denji. First deal, he agreed to help denji for denji saving his life. Second deal, he said I'll give you my heart in exchange to show me your dreams because I always loved hearing you talk about them. And it's been confirmed pochita is alive in denji's chest so when Denji is talking to him he is literally talking to him. It's unconventional but it is a contract devils make
-Lol they want to see angel girl...I can't wait for that disappointment
The way the guys wearing glasses and the ones that aren’t are separated perfectly
When I watched this episode I was literally speechless and couldn't move my face a little bit even tho I wanted to cry. There are rarely moments in anime tgat really shock me on that Level lile that episode did.
This episode felt like the red wedding.
Welcome to chainsaw man, shit is wild from this point on. The author is literally an evil genius, this was only a taste of what he has in store for you
Himeno is a long veteran of the devil hunting business and Aki became a veteran himself under her tutelage. During their long years of working together Himeno must have seen Aki use his cursed nail sword multiple times in life and death encounters with devils. The cost is real but the future is uncertain, Himeno knows this and doesn't want her time with Aki to shorten further. Though her logic is flawed since Aki is still determined to destroy the Gun devil, an ambition that surely lead to death and failure.
R.I.P Himeno 😭😭😭
In order to make use of the Curse Devil's attack, Aki has to sacrifice some of his lifespan. 20 years I think. In order to activate it, he needs to hit his enemy with a nail first to paint the target.
Credits to ghost devil. she literally tried even though she know its a lose fight.
🎶 The band that sort of first made their debut on the anime 'Psycho Pass' (which yall should watch) is called: Ling Tosite Singure
They have a dope ass sound. 🎶
TK is sooooo good with music, best ending of the anime so far
Rip good days of chainsaw man
Chris’ bit where he contradicted himself nearly had me pissing myself laughing
watching yall dance during the intro could cure cancer, its that satifying.
You thought that was f'ed up. Oh hohohoh. This was just the prologue boys get ready for some hell and craziness
Cool addition to the Ed was at the end when aki walks to denji and power, the posters in the back are covers of fujimotos other works Goodbye Eri and Look Back.
also fire punch vol1 cover on the right side
I sure hope they also get an adaptation like what the Producer said in the interview, also I hope Fire Punch is like 3 movies like Monogatari, and Goodbye Eri and Look Back as a 1 hour OVA or Movie too
@@abura2980 you can't fit an 83 chapter manga into a 3 part movie
@@romu_umu4681 it could probably fit if each movies are 2-3 hour long, also Fire Punch is pretty fast paced so I think it'd fit
oooh
God, Sweet Dreams is such a perfect track it ruins me. When I first heard it again after Pochita revived Denji all I could see was snow balls and birthday cake, and now I'm even more fucking destroyed.
this episode to me is like what the eclipse was for berserk in terms of pacing and setting the story up. now with only 4 episodes left this season we get into the meat and potatoes of what the CM world is really about.
Good comparison. I felt the same way just stuck in a trance
Good comparison. I felt the same way just stuck in a trance
After watching like tons of reaction videos on EP 8 I can say that the train scene where it's just silence and the gunmen just ducked at the same time made everyone say "wtf"
“The real Dark Souls starts here.”
I love how nobody notices how everyone that was sitting on the table last episode got shot
They mentioned that they are Order 66ing the devil hunters so I think they noticed.
@@joelsasmad Yea but they didn't notice that those were those particular people. All they noticed were kobeni and arai
@@niksolu why would they care about the npcs
To think This wea would be the one and only anime aside from ghost stories where all dubs are hella laughterable, and as a spaniard, i always feel like hearing a power from Argentina.
The drunk himeno scenes the animation going crazy
The devil with creepy head, flowers and multiple arms was the real form of Ghost devil. Himeno sacrificed her everything to summon Ghost's full power.
It's pure chaos from here on out, a hell of a rollercoaster this series is.
"I need an adult"
"I am an adult!"
For a just anime watcher this ep shocked me i knew maikima won’t die but himeno I was starting to like her character so I read the manga for a few chapters and it didn’t disappoint 😭
Spoilers, aki got 2 yrs left?? Makima has a lot of deals w devils?? I’m at the start of the training arc
Aki gave up years of his life to use his sword. Himeno mentioned it in ep 6.
The way people say that untill now was a prologue , it really reminds me of berserk.
was literally speechless for half that episode
5:08 Better exchange than last time, Denji now is getting even moar traumatized and i love how nobody cared about lookin for Denji even tho his first kiss experience was not only boopa one, but a public
that outro song is by far the best so far, TK is an amazing artist
It's so funny to me that out of all the reaction channels that I've watched react to this episode, Suraj is the only one to guess Katana Man correctly
It's not even his canon name.
His canon name is Samurai Sword. "Katan Man" is his fan-name.
@@krugerofcause9048 to be fair katana man is so much catchier than samurai sword
@@anti-mate407
It is, and I like the name better, but it's still not the canon name.
@@krugerofcause9048 bruh samurai sword is literally katana
@@etlingeraelatior
But his canon name is Samurai Sword.
“Katana Man” is never said in the series.
The Sword dude admitted to losing because he underestimated Aki is the contrast to Aki using the sword right away even though he knew it's gonna be a big drawback.
A little tips from a manga reader: Prepare yourself (though that wouldn't have much of an effect). This is nothing compared to what's coming in the next episodes 🔥
The shrine scene is about to be insane lol been waiting for it all season
13:04 "shoot both of the dogs" hahaha
I've seen more than a couple reactions already and you guys are the first to understand how the sword guy could have possibly survived the Curse Devil. Denji did get his neck broken and got back up thanks to Himeno pulling his trigger last episode after all
12:29 The power of friendship can overcome anything - Christopher jones
Chainsaw Man is the type of series that goes from 100 to 1000(???) and beyond!
Whatever logic/theories you have, chances are it's going to be wrong by a little or a LOT. Fujimoto knows how to play mind games with his fans and it shows throughout his works...
Btw love your vids was waiting for this reaction 😂
same
love the normies reactions
Este capítulo fue increíble, me encantó como animaron la maldición, cuando la ví la primera vez me recordó al jutsu de la parca xD
“Sizeable balcony”
I always thought Himeno died too early in the manga, but it's Tatsuki Fujimoto.(CSM author)😅
The next episode is gonna be 🔥 🔥 🔥 the most iconic moments
7:51 oh what that's an actually candy LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
All the sweet n warm and then suddenly all became chaos in silent,.. it's just Cold 🥶
The damn name for the outro is named first death THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING
in the infinity devil arc we were already told what the nail sword takes from aki: literal year of his lifespan.
Suraj :- "This is order 66 on the fu*cking Devil hunters" .That's accurate
Me when i first watched it
"This is the red wedding of Chainsaw man"
Get ready anime-onlys! From this episode to future eps going forward now ,you guys are in for a hell of a ride
9:14 no, hold on. He knows what he's talking about, let him speak.
Like I said in another channels comments. Her death rekt me for the rest of the day Tuesday. She was my favorite character on par with Aki and the way they sequenced it… truly beautiful… truly heart wrenching…😔 No favorite characters from now on
There is no lull in the storm from here. Consider everything before to be the prelude to what's to come.
Unceremonious gunshots to the head. I feel like Martin Scorsese made this episode. 😂
12:49 OOOH nice comparison LMFAOOOOO
12:57 Suraj was that a Tropic Thunder reference? RDJ said "survive" like that lmao
Fun fact: This ED theme is by the same artist who made the Tokyo Ghoul OP!
It’s about to get crazier next episode🫣you guys are gonna be hyped haha
the ghost reminded me of a monster that would belong in the hells paradise manga
episode 8 and 9 gone wild!!!!! 😱😱😱
11:56 chris’s face switched up 💀
now that is some godfarher movie stuff smooth execution
The chaos begins from here on out. Strap in!
And just like that the prologue is over. Strap on, the ride is about to start
Denji would be classified as hybrid, he did have a contract with pochita but it wasn’t anything for him to give up but rather to live a normal life and show pochita his dreams. It is a rare thing to see but nonetheless it’s still a contract (If I’m not mistaken). As for the normal devils hunters they make contracts with devils who they don’t bond with, just the more common type of devils: heartless, evil, pray for the downfall of humans type
Just want to make a note: in-universe, there’s no name for what Denji and Katana Man are, they’re only ever called “people who can turn into devils”. Hybrid is a word the fandom uses as shorthand.
@@powersofdestruction5694 oh yessss I didn’t mention that figuring they’d alr know, it is what the fandom has denominated him as
Great reaction!
From here on out it’s nonstop PAIN & MAYHEM
Aki's Nail: A contract with the Curse Devil that allows him to say the command, "shoot" and the devil will help flick the nail like a hammer into his opponents. After 3 stabs the Curse Devil can finish them off. The cost is taking years off Aki's life span.
Nobody is ready for the part 1 plot of Chainsaw Man
The future rules!
9:33 Spidey nigga you wildin for that one 🤣 🤣
So it finally begins. Y'all better saddle tf up because the next couple episodes are going to be crazy.
1) those people weren’t possessed by the gun devil. They were carrying out a mass assignation using guns (presumably to empower the gun devil by increasing fear or something) plus the gun devil would appear in a place with mass gun crime (like how it appeared in America the first time). Guns aren’t meant to be accessible in Japan so they could be trying to summon it to Japan.
2) what did Aki have to give for using the sword? They said in one of the last episodes… he gives away years from his lifespan to use it.
welcome to the beginning of painsaw man , also chris' berserk shirt is BASED
Who else digs Katana Man's design? Looks so cool and menacing. 2nd best design for personally after Chainsaw Man (Denji, not the name of the show).
Denji: I-I need an adult?
Himeno: I am an adult
2:17 "They can literally die tomorrow"
Yo props to whoever had to edit this down. Cause there should be know possible way to shorten the last 10 minutes of the episode.
I SAID IT WAS A SLAV SQUAT TOO LMFAO BUT HER HEELS WERENT TOUCHING THE GROUND
Until this point, I was considering chain saw man just another anime, but from this moment onwards, I know it's gonna be crazy !
i suprised that suraj still do that devil dancing moves
This episode will live forever on my mind
The prologue is now over this is where the story really begins s***'s only gonna get crazier from now on
Now we can finally experience the chaos of painsaw man
