Chainsaw Man - Reaction - S1E2 - Arrival in Tokyo 

Fiends are when devils take possession of a dead body and the devil is in control of the body. While Denji is in control as Pochita gave him his heart. This is why Makima said that Denji's condition is unprecedented, as no devil had given control to the original owner of the body after possesing them.

I like how eventually everyone realizes "oh wait this is just his old life but with work benifits"

ngl, the "I can put up with crazy if she's hot enough" line shows Denji's inexperience more than the obsession over boobs.

12:50 In Japanese, hug(daku) can also mean to score with a woman. So that's why Aki is so shocked

Denji needing to find a goal is actually pretty sad now that I'm thinking about it. He grew up essentially throwing away any sort of goal or dreams for his future since he never knew if he will live long enough to be free of his father's debt. It's like for him why bother thinking about the future if it's something he will never see anyways, just focus on survival instead. So now that he is suddenly free of his debt and isn't solely thinking about survival he is slowly desiring the things he never had, however, being the inexperienced teenage(?) boy deprived of any human connection he let his hormones rule his head for now.

Small detail back there when denji tells aki if he could make friends with a devil he would and aki said he remember that so he paired denji with power

Denji: my life is still missing something The girls: aww he misses Pochita Denji: I wanna touch boobs I can't 🤣🤣

Denji has the most relatable goal of any male protagonist in anime

16:00 the series takes place in the late 90s, so internet is not much of a thing for them yet

Denji has a true goal now :) so relatable

The Pink/Blond/Black hair trio is also in Fairy Tail. Must just be a aesthetic combo

denji, a man with clear priorities...a man of culture. 😏😎

Power's "Fiend" characteristic is her horns.

Btw the series takes place in '97! So pron pron wasn't as easy to acquire as it is today, heh

22:10 that's correct. The body that power has wasn't originally hers she took it over after the original owner died. When Makima said she had more rationality she meant the Power doesn't just go wild and attack people randomly like other fiends and devils. Fiends are 100% devil with human bodies. Denji is a human with a devil inside of him.

JJK - Pink, Dark, Blonde Naruto - Pink, Dark, BLonde Spy Family - Pink, Dark, Blonde Kaguya-Sama - Pink, Dark, Blonde "If I had a penny for every time this has happened in an anime, I'd have like 6 pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened 6 times." 🤣💖

"I am into the Denji type"... does that mean the submissive type? The opening makes sense when it comes to those two. POWER😍 and her hysterical laugh though.

So from what I can gather, Fiends are a devil that fully possess/take over a human’s body. Denji’s not a Fiend because the devil inside him doesn’t control his body/will

Hahaha i love how everyone think she is going to kill the cat when she asked for something to kill.

When Morgan said 'Ball fight' my mind immediately went somewhere else :)

Some people explained it but heres the information given so far about devils, fiends, etc: A devil is a monster looking creature. We saw the tomato devil, the zombie devil, the cucumber devil in this episode, and pochita was the chainsaw devil. They’re usually monsters that look grotesque in some way, except our buddy Pochita ofc. Fiends are human corpses possessed by a devil. We can assume they do this because they died or are dying, or their bodies are weakened in some way (like how Pochita is a little puppy). In this case, the human is completely dead and gone, its just the devil. They also look human, and they said they have “characteristic heads”. In the case of Power, she has horns. This is what Denji asked Pochita to do to his body when he died. And now Denji, Denji is special because he has full control over himself. Hes part human and devil. He’s basically just a human who can fully use a devils power.

Denji is different from other protagonists. He is a teenage boy going through puberty and because he's been constantly fighting for his life, he hasn't got the chance to experience intimacy. So his goal is to "score" one on a chick and not be the hokage or wizard king or kill the devil inside him lol. I guess to some 14 year old kid out there might find Denji's goal relatable(?) lmfao

Did y’all increase the volume by 0.5💀💀

The man in the phone booth with a katana is a civilian devil hunter like denji used to be, he was calling backup to the public safety devil hunters

Makima, Denji, and Aki voice actors are all new, so you more than likely never heard them before. I think this was a very cool decision for Mappa to make.

Power is Cherry blonde while Makima has red hair (it's toned down a bit in the anime though)

You guys finally get to meet Aki Hayakawa, my fav of the series. Despite his....ballsy introduction he is a very cool character.

10:05 It's like if you're hit in the stomach or back region, like a kidney punch, or another internal organ being struck. Now imagine that organ being unprotected on the outside of your body, and being kicked full force.

Episode 2 was fun too. In Japanese, Power-chan talks like a samurai lol.

Fiends are devils who have taken over human corpses, they aren’t human anymore. Even tho Pochita revived Denji from the dead, Denji is different in that he still has his personality, which is why he is considered special.

The guy who was calling in the Sea Cucumber Devil was a Devil Hunter too: he was calling for backup on the phone since he wasn't sure he could handle it with just a sword.

Is Spy Family also considered as black-yellow-pink trio?

You guys mentioned Denji can use the internet for the porn but CSM takes place in 1997 so

spy x family also has the blond/pink/dark hair character trio! Also kaguya sama if you count chika, kaguya and miyuki as a trio

13:10 Regarding Aki’s reaction to Denji: the word for “hug” in Japanese (抱く / daku) also means “sleep with”. Aki misunderstood haha

Powers’ hair is actually Blonde, but certain lighting makes it look pink

It's 'if I had a nickel for every time X happened, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice'. Credit to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, of course.

denji's a unique case. far as they know he's the ONLY one they know of that's LIKE him, hence "there is no name for it". Power, like all fiends, is a corpse being puppeted around by a devil. ALL Fiends are like this, they are ALL dead bodies piloted by devils, like little fleshsuits :3 the fiend Denji killed looked different cause...it was a different devil. Different devils mean the fiends looks diffrent, jsut like all devils don't look alike in their 'real' forms. it isn't that complicated.

Chainsaw Fridays YAY! Is anyone going to dress up as Powers for Halloween after this?

Fiends are born when a Devil inhabits and possess a dead body/corpse and thus a Fiend's thoughts and personality is controlled by the Devil because the person is already dead. Its also why a Fiend has characteristic features on the head thay resembles the Devil that inhabited the body. Denji is of a different, incredibly rare case. He's whats considered a hybrid. Hybrids are born when a Devil willingly lives inside a human, this inturn lets the original owner of the body be the one to take control and access the powers of the Devil associated with them, as stated by Makima with "The scent of both a human and a devil."

Zombie devil or tomato devil are just devils. Fiends are when a devil takes over a dead human body, power is a fiend because a devil took over her dead corpse. The personality of power is that of the devil, not the girl that has the body. Denji is not a fiend because pochita didn't take over denji's personality, denji still has his own personality which is why makima said denji is special.

I believe that chainsaw man takes place in the 90s so he ain't googling teddies anytime soon

A fiend replaces the brain of a human with their own, Denji was given Pochita's heart.

Denji truly an affection deprived 16yr old and it hurts to see

so sad that they removed the bit where he’s singing at the top of his lungs about union jobs and paid days off in the bath :(

Chainsaw man is set in 1997 j so y’all know :)

Something noteworthy you should keep in mind, which the story doesnt explain super well aside from a few clues, Chainsawman actually takes places in the 80s-90s, so things like the Internet weren't available or as accessible as they are now, you'll also only see old TVs and Telephones for example.

Oh yeah, Chainsaw man world take place in the 90s, 1996 ~ 1997 to be exact, so no internet

Him thinking about bonds was actually a big change for denji, more in a mental way of course

I love getting other peoples insight on the shows I like. Thank you guys for doing such a good job!

yup, every episode has its own Ending song.

Just once I would like to hear Dani say , “Hey lady you call him Dr Jones”

Denji and power are the same age of 16. Aki is 19 or so and makima is an adult 20+

Here's why getting hit in the nuts hurts so much: it's literally getting an almost direct attack on your organs. That's what they are, internal organs that are only protected by a THIN layer of skin. Do you have any idea how much a target your heart would be, if it was given the same minimal protection?

noticed you said "but there's the internet" & yeah true but just wanted to let yall know if you didn't know already that the story takes place in 1997

Now i see that power/denji and itadori/Nobara switched hair color lol

Devils are the embodiment of something that people fear Fiends are when devils jump into corpses. The human personality is completely erased when that happens. Deji is an exception because a devil jumped into his corpse and let Dennis stay in the driver's seat.

If a devil takes over a dead body its gets a funny head and becomes a Fiend. Denji died but Pochita didnt take over the body. Rather Pochita gave their body to Denji to heal it and boost it up.

Btw this takes place in the late 90s I believe

Fiends are made when a devil posseses a human corpse (THE HUMAN IS ALREADY DEAD) amd the devil is the one in control. Denji is a special case. He is something that doesn't even have a name

No internet since this seems to take place in the early 90s. I read th e manga in English, so I was wondering what they really called “Fiends”… they’re Majin. Makes sense

How it feels? Well you basically imagine the most sever pain like something hit your funny bone hard in the worst spot but now up that because consider that its a bundle of nerves with no cushion or protection so its quite literally the most intense pain your brain is able to comprehend and your muscles also contort in your lower stomach as your body tries to find a way to address the sudden injury that occurred but it just can't.

chainsawman takes place in 1997 so internet was not used often.

btw this takes place in 1997, so the internet wasn't super available for the time

Gotta say I love the editing on these reactions they are hilarious.

can't wait for next episode

Best Girl POWER has arrived!!!

Makima is the control devil, Denji was the one who killed his father, Makima later kills aki and power, denji cannibalizes makima, and denji is the one who kills aki spoilers:

10:05 Just... do all humanly possible to never find out.

Pretty sure CSM is set in the 90's so no internet porn quite yet lol

Im loving this show

Man, Aki got so much nut punishment his grandkids are gonna be born with dented sacks.

Chainsaw Man takes place in the year 1997

Denji x Mineta : The Quest For Boobtopia

You guys should do a pulp fiction reaction.

Wait yall still think he has debt to pay? I thought him slaughtering all the yakuza last ep said something.

Denji's not dying no more pochita replaced his heart and all the body parts his sold healed i thnk proof his right eye..

Denji's simpleminded is super charming. Sure it makes it easy for him to be manipulated, but gotta respect his genuine and honest nature

I really enjoy watching you guys react. Just a little request can you guys turn up the volume a little bit.

I guess you could say Denji gave Aki some... DEVILED EGGS😎

Denji just like me fr

I’m pretty sure there is no Internet quiet yet actually, atleast super mainstream cause this takes place during the 90s

So it may not be easy to figure out but this series takes place in the 90’s. So Denji wouldn’t have easy access to the internet at all.

[No spoilers - never read the manga] If/when you guys watch Pulp Fiction, can you guys REACT to it!? Please!! A Fiend, as im sure people have already explained, is a Devil that possessed a dead body. The girl is dead, and the devil possessed her body and its name is Power. I dont know, but the Devil itself isn't necessarily male or female. Denji is alive, his personality is in control and is fused with Pochita inside. The dude in the phone booth, I dont know, but probably has a sword cause maybe he's also a devil hunter?

Power has strawberry blonde hair and makima has red hair. Also that scene with the cat pisses me off because in the manga there was no misconception that she may kill the cat like in this episode which feels like bad direction from whoever directed that.

Denji is a bit of simpleton. Which makes him pretty relatable to many. Also the series takes place in 1997, which is why the internet isn't a major thing.

Chainsaw man takes place in the 80's

A dream that comes true often doesnt live up to the expectation but ive never touched a boob and been dissapointed so maybe Denji is on to something

Chainsaw man takes place in the 90's if I recall correctly

16:32 Jajajajajajaja, easy to say when you can touch your everyday XD

😂 little pochita is gonna tear your house down

9:50 10:43

Lump of fat really is special i feel you Denji.

If Pochita takes over Denji brain he will be a fiend

If you want to know how it feels, just pay 2 of your guys friends to do that. Just watch their face. We guys all know the lingering agony too well.

mr editor 10:05

the parasyte makes the slug colourful sdo a bird will eat it and the bird will poop it out to beeatean by another slug repeating the process

Thanks a lot for your great job ! ...Demji be not a man but a big kid...Aki do'nt see this. A man do not so much attack balls, do not like much sweets, do not loudly sing in a bath, and ...do not simply trust a woman ...i had really sympa with Aki who be so cool and really nice, i thought.😭 i hoping next.

"I like the 'Denji' type" maybe I'm in the minority here but when I read that line, I saw it as a red flag. Its definitely not cute

Yeah, sometimes it's better to never know how someone got suffers when his nutts get kicked 🤣
