Any time people talk about how Chainsaw Man is a tragedy, part of me can't help but agree... mostly. The difference, in my mind, is that Chainsaw Man uses subtlely to preach hope. No matter the tragedy that happens, there is a glimmer of hope for the world to be better tomorrow. That's how I interpreted Denji's willingness to fight Makima at the end. The series is hopelessly hopeful.
To expand on this, that's another way that Makima is Denji's opposite. She has no hope for tomorrow, so she will remove all the pain, the suffering, the bad movies from the world so it can be better tomorrow. Because she doesn't believe it can be better on its own, while not seeing that in doing so she would remove the beauty from the world.
@@gabrielleite32 are you talking about when the Falling devil shows up & Asa is ready to give up but Denji gives his speech about life being mostly a sh¡t sandwich but that's okay because he has something to look forward to? That's what I was thinking of
@@gabrielleite32 @gabrielleite32 I'm sorry to hear that. I'm doing better now, but I've struggled with depression & anxiety my whole life so i definitely know how it is. But I'm glad you were able to find some solace in Denji's heartfelt speech/plea And I'd love to see this channel cover that part at some point & have him fill in the speech bubble with what Denji really means when he says sex is the thing that keeps him going. It probably be something similar to the first time, i.e. he really just wants to find & maintain a real & meaningful connection to someone. Which is also what I think Asa wants. In the same scene, she says she's fine with it all ending though she would've like to experience something just one time. And I think that's what she was talking about too, finding a meaningful relationship. They just have slightly different ways of expressing that desire 😅 But ya, I love CSM & the subtle yet profound moments of hope we get from time to time, in between all the large helpings of shit sandwiches. Unfortunately, it's very relatable 😁
One of my favorite aspects of Makima's end is how Denji wouldn't have been able to breach the contract keeping her alive if she hadn't fostered that unhealthy love from grooming and destroying his sense of self. Had she cared for Denji in an genuine and even slightly more humane way, no one could have stopped her. She wouldn't have lost control of her plan if she didn't try controlling him in the way she did. The excessive authority Makima strived for groomed Denji into the ultimate refutement of it.
When Denji asks about the bad movies, I always recall the chapter where Denji sat next to Kobeni and she told him that a normal life is a life with highs and lows. I really love that moment, and I really feel like in that moment, with a character that atleast I never suspected to give Denji advice, a switch flipped in Denji's mind. Like he finally understood what he was trying to achieve. A normal life. Great vid
Another thing I love about Denji's continued love for Makima, is that in the context of Denji's world, she kind of represents life itself. Life can give you so much, and in the blink of an eye, life can take it all away again. Life can make you and destroy you all the same and Denji continues to love Makima because he has learned to truly love life, regardless of all the pain and suffering it can put you through. He is able to accept that life is pain and peace all at once, something truly human.
I also think that Makima wanting to erase bad movies is a call back to fire punch, as in that the main villain only started the apocalypse because she didn't want the next star wars to be crap.
I just Want you to know that you explaining these concepts to me as a person, outlining them, bringing the topic up really has resonated with me and I want to thank you for making such an amazing video essay to make me feel that, Thank You
I cannot verbally express how good this video is. From the tiny metaphors to explaining the grand picture you are so on point! You honestly deserve an award of some kind. How have you gotten so good at interpretation? Is it pure talent or have you studied this?
Thanks so much! I've been writing books for about 7 years and totaled 8 novels and about a million words worth of stories. I defiantly think I have some talent for it 100%, but all the time I spent actually writing or learning how to write helps so much with analysis.
@@BeyondMediaAnalysis1 Oh my god! That sounds so incredible! You definitely deserve to be the number one story interpretation/analysis channel on this platform, I‘m rooting for you! Also, if I may ask, how did you go from a writer to a content creator? Not that I‘m complaining of course but that sound like a big leap!
You know those small change in Text from what you think is the message always amazed me. Just the small change gives you a new and differente view on the context
i dont know if you noticed or said in the video, the movie marathon chapter is 39 while the denji vs makima chapter is 93, where they talk about movies in the ideal world. i goddamn love fujimoto
It sadens me to think some people choose not to use their braincells when watching stories. And not even in a "i just wanna have fun with it" type of way but in a "i choose to not understand what the story is trying to tell me" kind of way
a way ive learned to think, is that if every day was a gold nugget, then they would be worthless. having those bad days makes the good days, and thats so importent to remember. "one must imagine sisyphus happy"
The metaphor of good movies and bad movies is absolutely genius. As a wise man once said, "No rain, no rainbow". You gotta take the good with the bad. Because if Denji had never been through such hardships, he never would have known how good jam on toast, a warm bath and touching breasts would feel. You need to experience sadness to truly appreciate how good happiness can make you feel. That's what makes Chainsaw Man one of the best stories I've ever read from a literary standpoint (I don't know if this is the right word) through its use of imagery and metaphor between cats, dogs, doors and bad movies. Really great video man. I've watched a few now and they are incredible. I've noticed since watching your videos, my English grades have improved (60% on the last test. I'm delighted). So maybe it's a good idea to keep watching. Keep up the amazing work!
the panel with makima crying at the movie is my favorite pannel and the whole chapter and the chapter where denji talks about bad movies with makima beofre fighting IS my favorite chapter out the whole series I heard alot of people realize how important the movies were and even most people agree with me with that being the best pannel but no one ever did a DEEP DIVE video thank you man! this is perfect I was waiting on this forever
i think you also missed the point that denji knows the movie he loved is a bad movie because there were no other people were watching it while he enjoyed it despite it being bad. this is also reflected in the ending when he says he still loves makima despite everything thats happened. but makima wanting to make a world without bad movies means that she is rejecting denji, and the connection they had during the bad movie. she was unable to see what they had in that moment while he knew the whole time what they had then, which was what makima says she wanted all along but she doesnt understand it.
Part 1 is perfect. Part 2 seemed a little tamed but the recent chapters threw it out of the window. Tatsuki fujimoto is the best unhinged writer to ever exist. Denji is the real life potrail of protagonists
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'll answer my opinion about the title, the need for bad movies is like a phase of Syndrome, from the movie The Incredibles "When everybody is Super, no one will be" If all movies are good, none will be truly good. We won't have the same feeling of watching a good movie because we won't know the difference between what is bad and what is good. It will be meaningless
Perfect Video i really Like your Style of Videos and you can hear the pain in your voice at 11:05 to 11:07 and it broke me BC Power was my Favorite Character and IT still shocks me seeing or Hearing IT
I've never cried while watching an analysis of a story before, even of a story that made me bawl while reading it. chainsawman just hits harder. the power dynamic between makima and denji and denji's struggles are all too realistic, and Aki's death followed shortly by Power's death and how much it impacted Denji... yeah. i can't help but empathise with Denji. Fujimoto is a geniys.
Again, i think it's just crazy you don't have more recognition!! I have watched countless video essays and your videos rank among some of the best. Chainsaw man is such an interesting manga/anime to me. It was one of the most profoundly uncomfortable viewing experiences of my life, and I can only in good faith recommended to a select few people. And yet, I think it's writing is absolute genius and the series as a whole is a complete masterpiece.
Fujimoto is such an excellent writer. The fact that we had two instances of absolute shock, revolving makimas character is truly astonishing and not many writers can do that the “makima is listening” panel and her explaining the plan are so well built up that you feel the impact of that information. Once she explains why she did everything, it makes you immediately think back to all of the chapters you’ve read and she’s been manipulating everything. Even in the very early chapters when she’s feeding denji soba, he said he would’ve been fine eating then she asked and persist, and that forces him to bark like a dog. She has been manipulating and taking advantage of this kid since the moment he saw her. And her explanation of simply wanted to break the contract ties everything together perfectly.
I think, like most things in chainsaw man, Denji continuing to love Makima, even after all the things she did to him, and as he eats her to kill her for good, seems silly at first, almost contradictory, why does this boy who was tortured by this woman still love her? It seems like Makima may have still won an emotional battle regardless, like if batman ever killed the joker, but I think despite loving your abuser being a bad decision in the real world, his love despite everything is his truest victory against her. He is able to overcome all the pain she put him through, and still cherish the memories he did not share with her, but had with her. It means he can overcome the grief of killing Aki, of watching Power get murdered in front of him. Makima wanted him to be consumed by grief and pain, and him choosing to not be consumed by hate for her, to accept the crappy movies he had to watch, means that she failed and Denji succeeded.
Hi I couldnt explaine to poeple why i love chainsaw man so much thank you for better understanding myself, you put every thing what i felt when i was reading the manga in exact the right words for me to better understand that feeling great job love your videos ^^
I've had a similar experience akin to Denji with Makima, with me only really being loved recently around a year ago. I met a woman who exploited what my skewed vision of love was due to childhood trauma I was subject to, and used it for her own sense of pleasure. It gets to a point where it breaks you down to where you want to be free of all responsibility, or, "I don't want to think for myself anymore." You see this stronger person and realize that, if you just give yourself to them, you can be free of all of life's obligations. It's such a hard thing to break out of that mindset, but after mulling it over, I decided I wanted to live for myself. Even if life throws hard decisions my way, or even if I don't know what love may be, I won't let another person define it for me. That's what, in my eyes, Denji is. His story is one of a sense of individuality and the formation of self respect. Never let another person control your entire being.
yk what would lwk be hilarious. if they purposely make the chainsaw movie bad then have season 2 be insanely good and that’s where they drop the bad movies line
It’s a really great analysis but 🤓👆 unfortunately you missed on how it was actually pochita that was talking and battling against Makima and the hybrids the entire time pretending to be Denji in that graveyard as an ironic twist(?) to point out her delusional idealization of what little she actually truly knew of Pochita and all.
I probably should have been more clear on that for sure, but I think the messaging of their dynamic and Makima’s goals in relation to chapter 39 still works perfectly fine. Since Pochita and Dennis were with each other and unified in both events, the story thematically works the same. But yeah, I could have been more clear for sure
I hope you'll do an analysis on part 2 and it's characters. Ik it not finished so maybe on a certain arc or a character like asa mitaka or denji state of character in part2 compared to part 1 so far
I can understand english, but ain't really good at expressing myself with it, so please spare me this time: Me encantó cómo este video me hizo mucho más sentido después de ver tu reflexión sobre Griffith.

Claramente estaba equivocada y esto va mucho más allá de una lucha de género. En un momento incluso pensé (antes que lo dijeras) que lo ideal era aspirar a ser como Makima y entrenar al perro, hacerlo humano, controlarlo; pero claro, no creo que puedas sentir una pizca de amor (vínculo? conexión?) con un ser al que no le tienes ni el más mínimo respeto (por esto se me hace muy gracioso que, al final, Makima se convierta en esta niña "indefensa" que solo necesita abrazos. Jajaja, qué generosos!). Creo que mi conclusión después de leer el manga, no habiendo hecho ni la mitad del trabajo de reflexión que hiciste tú y estando profundamente equivocada en varias cosas, fue más o menos la misma que la tuya, y opino que eso es lo que consigue una buena obra de arte. A pesar de que encarna muchos de los aspectos que me parecen más grotescos del género masculino, lo que siento por Denji es sincera ternura, y ciertamente estuve animándolo en secreto (de mí misma) desde los primeros capítulos (hasta le habría ofrecido dejarle tocar mis boobs si con eso lograba consolarlo un poco, qué bueno que al final la cosa no iba ni cerca por ese camino D:). Todos queremos ser amados y, quizás también todos, nos desviamos del objetivo persiguiendo lo que creemos que nos hará felices y completos. Ver tu video me hizo darme cuenta de que en algún punto también estoy perdida y también muchas veces he querido ser el perro. Así que, antes de retomar La Búsqueda, me detengo un momento con este comentario para agradecerte :)

There's a scene in part 2 that it's basically this and it helped me to go through an absolutely shitty moment in life.

@@jsull81 exactly this one. I was in a terrible moment of grief, work was shitty, relationship problems. And Denji gave the most Denji speech possible

I got the notification a bit too late (two days late!), but begter late than never.
This was an amazing video, great job!

Nvm I remember you did the denji one in his analysis video
Definitely in the cards!! I’m not all the way caught up on part 2 but it’s for sure a possibility
You see i was a big simp of her
(maybe im still a little am)
Until i read part one i got so mad and frustrated of her
I just wanted to😤😤😤
amazing.
0:09 No, God no, maybe, agreed
He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
Banger
Me clicking on this learning that aki is going to get killed by denji..the horror
I really hope Part 2 includes more philosophical thinking like Part 1. I just can’t feel true connections like I did the original.

I can understand english, but ain't really good at expressing myself with it, so please spare me this time:
Me encantó cómo este video me hizo mucho más sentido después de ver tu reflexión sobre Griffith.
Al principio estuve un poco a la defensiva, ya que me cuesta empatizar con el discurso sobre la masculinidad víctima debido quizás a mi propio lente femenino y a todas las historias de mujeres muy heridas y a la vez muy enteras, fuertes y maduras que me rodean (que no siento que sea el caso de la mayoría de los hombres que conozco, y los culpo por eso, desde mi propia carencia e ignorancia). Claramente estaba equivocada y esto va mucho más allá de una lucha de género.
En un momento incluso pensé (antes que lo dijeras) que lo ideal era aspirar a ser como Makima y entrenar al perro, hacerlo humano, controlarlo; pero claro, no creo que puedas sentir una pizca de amor (vínculo? conexión?) con un ser al que no le tienes ni el más mínimo respeto (por esto se me hace muy gracioso que, al final, Makima se convierta en esta niña "indefensa" que solo necesita abrazos. Jajaja, qué generosos!).
Creo que mi conclusión después de leer el manga, no habiendo hecho ni la mitad del trabajo de reflexión que hiciste tú y estando profundamente equivocada en varias cosas, fue más o menos la misma que la tuya, y opino que eso es lo que consigue una buena obra de arte.
