Chainsaw Man | Epi 1x2 ARRIVAL IN TOKYO | Group Reaction 

Not spoilers but Tatsuki Fujimoto said this is an interview on Denji "When you look at the current young generation they try to live in a simple way, day by day. I don't criticize them. I think it's very good to live like that. That's why I created Denji, whose ambition is extremely low." Take that how you will

"He never coming again" i almost choked🤣

The tie scene is really underrated, it’s so well animated because she is literally tying him up like a dog

Chris's analysis of Denji's boob motivation is pretty good. This is the first we've seen a protagonist basically achieve his goal in the first two episodes. So now he had to make a new goal, but since his upbringing was severly deprived of normalcy and the regular pleasures of life, that is what his goals mirror for now. However, once he attains those things, he may develop much more complex goals. But for now, he's just trying to live as normal a life as he can since he never got to. Boobs may seem silly, but for a young guy like Denji, it's pretty realistic first step to normalcy.

“When fighting another guy it’s *Nuts or Nothing* “ My man💀💀💀💀

I think when Aki said "I'Il remember that" after Denji said he didn’t have any friends is when he decided to put Denji and Power together as partners. Really shows how Aki is very subtle in his compassion.

I think there's an underrated act of kindness of Aki noting that Denji can make friends with devils because "I don't have any friends" and Aki giving him a devil as a teammate the next day despite how cold he seems, imo this was pretty cool

Notice the painting in Makima's office? It's in the OP as well and is a famous illustration of Dante's Divine Comedy (Inferno, Canto 22) by Gustave Dore. Fujimoto is an art major so he has referenced a lot of religious, philosophical paintings in CSM. This was not in the manga but a great addition by Mappa. More to come, see how many of them you can catch during the episodes

I guess this is not a spoiler, since it's not really something addressed again, but Aki putting Denji and Power together wasn't because he wants to fuck with Denji, he put them together because Denji said "if I could be friends with a Devil, I would". Aki realized that and said he would remember it. So it was a nice thing he did for Denji.

The ding sound when denji hit aki balls had me laughing for a straight minute. Mappa did chainsaw man justice.

Aki is the final evolution of the "Sasuke" guy. He's the coolest version.

Cant wait for Rana to attach herself to Power lol.

I think the part of the OP where they’re in a theater is literally them watching the movie clips we just saw. At least, that’s what I thought.

Fun Fact: In French magazine ATOM, Tatsuki Fujimoto (the creator) states that Power's characterization was based on Eric Cartman (yes, THAT Eric Cartman). So you kinda have an insight on how she's gonna behave. :)

Chainsawman is really great so far with its flawless characters, story, and its tone and atmosphere.

My expectations when aki puts denji down and walks away: Denji: "i'll do the best that i can! to prove to you that i'm worthy!" What actually happened: Denji: "It's nuts or nothing"

Nothing worse than someone who uses ALL the Toilet Paper. I feel for you Aki

Ayy suraj is here. The whole crew like this is what makes these anime reactions.

The chokehold Naruto trio has on anime fans is amazing

In the manga, before denji and makima went for lunch, an old guy approach them saying that bis daughter was kiddnaped by a wood devil, and then Makima ask Denji to help him, Denji find that girl in the Woods but she is already posessed by the devil, and Denji had to fight to save the girl, he won the fight and the girl was saved but he lose lots of blood, that's why he fell off to Makima and unconscious for a moment.

What I love about chainsaw man's story is that you can go through it with your brain off (which is what I did up until a particular chapter) or look deeper into it and pick apart its philosophy and the metaphors sprinkled throughout. Either way, you're gonna have fun

The reaction to the assault on Aki's nuts was _golden,_ lol. 😂

9:42 ayo 💀 Rana

Was surpised that Rana didn't comment on how cute Aki is, he seems like her type. Lol

I really like tht you guys understand the nuances and complexity of denji's character. Great vid!

Basically what Denji really wants is a connection to someone but because he does exactly know how to express that, it comes out as "I wanna touch boobs".

i love that the normies called Denji a puppy and a golden retriever. i really don't understand why some people find Denji annoying.

Just always remember fiends always have something different with there heads so power has horns the other guy had pincers

9:41 oh nah, that's one way to put it 💀💀💀

Aki has the best character development in csm

THE MAGNIFICENT DEBUT OF THE GOLORIUS POWER IS HERE TREMBLE IN FEAR TO HER MIGHT

Denji is also 16 so keep that in mind in his motivations 😂

Even the first ending was unique. Every single one will have a different song, that's the important part. Power best girl, lesgooooooo!

9:42 underrated joke by Rana xD

Marketa's laugh at 4:37 was scarily similar to the one at the end of the full OP

Funny to me how Chris unintentionally predicted the end of the show through a joke

to make it more clear: fiends are devils possessing corpses. so they have NO semblance of the human personality, the person is DEAD, it's ONLY a devil in control there. And while the Zombie Devil did turn a bunch of humans into zombies, that was something unique to him, as the Zombie Devil.

Painting is an illustration of the demon Alichino in Dante's Inferno. He's chasing a sinner into the lake of boiling pitch in the Eight Circle (Malebolge). So yeah, quite thematically on point ✌

It may have seemed super short, but this episode actually covered 3 and a half chapters of the manga, whereas the first episode only covered 1 😅

27:30 Russian: Дыни ('Melons')

Remember when Denji told ami he didn’t have any friends and that he would make friends with a devil. Aki paired him with a devil basically which I thought was cool

Idk if anyone else noticed it or I'm just overthinking it. But when denji said he would be friends with a demon hanakawa said he would "...remember that" and then went on to get him partnered with Power, a fiend. Personally, I think he partnered him with Power because of what Denji said, to give him a friend. At least that's what I'd like to think

9:39 "he didn't see it coming- he's never coming again" YALL 😭😭😭😭

Honestly there's something about the atmosphere in this show that's so liminal yet comforting

the end credit song for this episode is made by zutomayo, they make a lot of good songs

The funny thing is... Denji said "mune" in Japanese, which can be translated as "chest", but if he wanted to say something that more explicitly refers to breasts, he could have said "oppai" instead... Of course, he could have said something more vulgar than that... it was more polite than I would have expected...

Btw Denji is a minor he is only 16 and Makima is in her mid-twenties so...

"She seems like a nice character, he wanted a huggie and she gave him a huggie." XD That's what we like to call a groomer lol (Makima) In context, she's 20, he's 16, she fully knows well what she's doing to him and around him XD. There's a reason why she's one of the current "problematic favs you can't help but like despite everything they do". No spoilers but Makima is a character you have to actually pay attention to what she does and say. I mean...tbh she's not that hidden about it. She's rather upfront. Its only people that blatantly ignore the things she does that don't get it. Hint: In the op it basically shows her feeding the parasitic slug to him and how he's reaching out to her but she has her arms to herself, not letting him touch her but putting herself within grabbing distance on purpose. Both have clear symbolism on their future dyanamic/relationship. Also the whole walking him around on a leash XD.

Guy on the right's got it! Denji's life until this point consisted basically of living at the edge of abject poverty while being at constant risk of being killed by either a devil or the yakuza. Anything other than surviving the day was too far reaching of a goal for him, so goals like "having a good meal" or "getting with a girl" that might look trivial for the protagonist of a story actually makes a lot of sense in this context, especially for a 16-year-old male that has had basically no human contact for most of his life. As the story progresses so will Denji's goals, it gets pretty introspective as it goes a long too. Definitely one of the more interesting takes on a Shonen protagonist in recent memory.

My guy Genji has his priorities straight.

Hey, Suraj is back!!

1:23 what is she drinking that face killin me xd

Talking about how they like Denji's motivation. Should probably watch Highschool DxD.

Power and Denji share one brain cells

The ED for the first episode was posted on Mappas youtube channel. BUT the ED in the episode the credits are shaped like thIngs that come up in the anime, like foreshadowing. you guys should rewatch it and try to catch all the shapes.

"he's never having children" literally AND POWER DEBUTS IN THE ANIMÉ!!!

Danni and Power are basically Kenny and Cartman

9:43 dope joke. Everyone missed it😔

9:37 Rana's such a good one 🤣🤣.. missed by everyone

i love that the normies understand denji's character and called him a golden retriever as well 💛

The nutsack demon part made me laugh and die when i read it and it just hits harder when it's animated

This show is everything I wanted. Power is exactly what I was hoping for. I cannot understate how unbearably hype I am for the rest of this series.

Good to have Suraj back!

This series is gonna be a wild ride and I hope they'll avoid people contracted with the spoiler devil cause this is a series you don't wanna get spoiled on.

Nice to see a character with a sex-drive who isn’t an overtop pervert.

"He's never coming again" 😂🤣 Rana is savage

Omg ranna just saying he's never coming again made me die even harder

The blood weapon Power made instantly reminded me of Blood Blockade Battlefront.

Besto simp of all. Before reading the manga i was like "Hope Pochita and Denji have a good ending or somewea like that" after reading the manga i still have a headcannon of Pochita bulding his own supermarket out of cutting down trees with Denji just living the quagmire's experience

nut devil just popped off and dunk'd another civilian. If it weren't of his lack of hueva, he wouldn't be inmune against nut aimed blows

"some people are into puppy play" ooooh I know hes a freak lmfao.

Darn, Rana predicting some good stuff... If u know what I mean....

I don't know if i have to think about whole thing with Makima and Denji as something cool like Ookami Shoujo or something suspecious and weird like Guts and Griffith or Griffith and Casca.

Denji's the best! You'll feel safe around him with or without him using his chainsaw powers. He would have been a great older brother like Tanjiro from Demon Slayer if he had younger siblings. He did take care of Pochita for years even if Denji didn't have much to give but he did love Pochita with all his heart. ❤💕💯

CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 3 💗🔥

Bruh I can't with all of the reactors acting like they see Power jumping down the building for the first time like they didn't see it 15 times already in every trailer 💀💀💀

The first ED should've been the opening, Vaundy is fire and that song has so much energy

Power's personality reminds me of Inosuke from Demon Slayer a little bit 😂

Loved the last few minutes of The End Discussion with the Breasts Synonym Rundown. Really fit with the episode's core.

A fiend takes over a corpse. None of the human personality remains.

POWER IS HERE!!!!

I feel the ed being blank for ep 1 is understandable because ep 1 felt very movie like so it ended like a movie a typical credit roll.

Technically the first episode is not an exception. It has a different ending, a blank one with different music as well.

it's sooo sad because Denji doesn't have someone like All Might from My Hero or Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. Denji just has a new owner not a teacher/mentor/guardian.

Y’all are gonna love Power a lot and her VA is doing Awesome

Talking about references, is Power's ability a reference to Kyoukai no Kanata? Cuz man that shit takes me back.

Your om shirt caught me off guard

Cred to the VA for Power’s AMAZING crazy laugh at the end! 😂

Why does this reaction not show in the channel main page?

Haven't seen anyone else having such a positive view of Makima's dynamic with Denji lmao. I'm an anime only, but I already got a bad vibe from her. She seems to be manipulating him, so he'll be easy to control. It kinda sucks for him to go from having his life under the control of the yakuza for a debt he didn't even have a part in, to having his life under control by Makima and the demon hunters for something he didn't choose to be.

9:42 🤨

Bro Chris's reaction on nut kicking was hilarious😂😂

My absolute favorite fight in all of anime

I hope Chris and the rest find out that the op is by the guy who did Peace Sign

When Suraj mentioned "E.D.", what does E.D. stand for? "End(ing) D???"? They forgot "Funbags".

8:58 "he's never having kids" well...about that...

15:42 lol, was thinking the same thing (but turns out she likes cats anyway)

Y'all gotta react to Cyberpunk edgerunners and have Marketa and Spidey in it!

“Not a normal protagonist.” Y’all have clearly not watched High School DxD lol.

9:41 EXCUSE ME, WUT!?!? 😂😂😂
