The reason Power was weaker than the Bat Devil is because She is a Fiend so not at full power. Also the Fox devil is probably strong because of all the Japanese folklore related to foxes.
@@BenganGamer Probably convenience yeah. But maybe she was low on blood from protecting her cat from the Bat's insides. Just a random possiblity I just came up with.
@@Vidilian The author used a myth about bat's saliva having a numbing/anesthetic effect that is false IRL. But since the conception of fear is not always based on facts by humans, the Bat devil's saliva seems to have a stronger effect. Meowy is fine since the cage seemed to protect him better from the saliva, now that's convenient. :D
@@BrunoGrundy Australian bats actually have some kind of virus in their saliva called "Australian bat lyssavirus" that can cause serious infections which might be where that fear comes from. The saliva itself may not be paralytic, but I'm sure that at least one of the diseases bats carry may have that as a symptom.
I love how whenever you're stressed you call Wesley, as if he can do anything about it, it's so cute😆 Edit: Also, just for fun you should know that the Bat Devil is voiced by the same guy that voices the dog in Spy X Family🤭
Yeah, just a heads up, all 12 episodes have 12 different Endings with almost all of them having different visuals. They're really good and don't spoil anything and at most provides a fun teaser for the next episode if you know what you're looking for.
One of the characters that Power is based on is Eric Cartman, the writer of the manga himself admitted that, and that should tell you a lot about her lol
@@natanaru thats awesome i wish i had gotten into it earlier!! i read the whole pt 1 of the manga about a month before the anime started and i agree is storytelling is amazing and gets better as it goes on i cant wait for it all to be animated
@@frogsrfriends nah be thankful you could binge it all, when i got to it i was stuck waiting for the last arc week by week it was pain. If you need more Fujimoto content read his one shots/Firepunch they are both great
@@natanaru true idk if i woulda been able to get thru that lol waiting every week for chapters rn is hard enough😭 and goodbye eri and fire punch r def on my list to read!
Power is actually the name of a type of Heavenly being; like "Angel" is at the bottom of the hierarchy and "Seraphim" is at the top, "Powers" is with "Virtues" in the middle of like 8 or 9 ranks.
Everyone rags on Kobeni for stabbing Aki, but that was a group effort to kill Denji. Himeno restrained Aki, Arai restrained Denji, Kobeni tried to stab Denji. All three co-ordinated it, and Aki purposefully got in the way of her knife.
Japan has a lot of stories about fox spirits or Kitsune and some of those stories end really badly for the people involved. The fox spirit or for a better Japanese term Yako are usually described as being deceitful or tricky. The main one to think of is the nine tailed fox which is used as inspiration for Pokemon, Naruto and pretty much any other Japanese media involved a fox. Of course there is the other side of fox spirits or Zenko who are renown for being more friendly towards human but they'll still mess you if you do something wrong. You're likely to see a fox spirit statue guarding Japanese Temples.
You're right. I wonder if it's more than just fear but strong emotions in general that make the demons more powerful. Because if it was more like significance that made them stronger, that would make sense for the fox to be strong in Japan anyway. In America, the strongest devils would be cars, coffee, guns, freedom, and cigarettes probably. Maybe a bomb. Though at this point, the phone devil, internet devil, and electricity devils would be the strongest worldwide... along with darkness and death. Probably.
There's also the Aguara who is a mythological fox in Ava Guaraní and Chané mythology. They were mentioned in The Witcher books as a fox spirit who kidnapped young girls. Foxes have always been the tricksters who scorn humanity for their naivety.
One of the best parts about Denji being so incredibly easily manipulated by women is that it makes sense. He sold one testicle, and when he fused with Pochita he regenerated it. He's got more testosterone running through him than ever before. The poor boy is blocked from balls to brain. Thanks for giving it a chance by the way. The first episode is... Definitely among the more gorey and rough episodes, but as Wes said it's extremely weird but gets you extremely invested. And you know... Touching boobs is a more realistic motivation than becoming ninja president or whatever.
That's not actually true, medically. If you have both removed, then you will experience a decrease in testosterone but if you have one testicle, testosterone levels stay the same (because testosterone works in a feedback loop).
My favourite manga ever and MAPPA doesn’t disappoint with the adaptation surpassing all my expectations (which were high). I hope you enjoy its a wild ride. Power is best girl no contest and is named after the court of angels of the same name.
In the first episode after he turned into the chainsaws they thought he wasn't human anymore. They had me dying when they were like, "Can he communicate?"
The pact was already said if they kill Denji or offer his corpse to the eternity devil they can leave that's y Kobeni tried to kill him, if she was successful they could have handed Denji's corpse to the devil and left, the pact was already offered all they needed to do was kill Denji to except it so there was nothing stupid abt Kobeni trying to kill him
This shows wild, episode 6 proved that almost every character is morally questionable at BEST. Most of them are by definition not good people, but I cant really hate them. Kobeni and Arai are scared shitless as noobs and willing to kill to survive, Himeno was willing to kill Denji so that Aki wouldn't get hurt because shes traumatized by loosing so many partners, Power is... Power. That brings us to Aki, at first glance he seems altruistic. But he risked his neck because hes willing to bet it all to get his revenge, he knows he cant do it by himself and wants to use Denji to get it done. Man I love me some morally ambiguous characters!
This is the first reaction that someone finally acknowledged the country mouse and the city mouse book 😅 i was wondering when it was gonna happen, that book was a great childhood memory
So you can know makima can't be an fiend because as aki said they are noticable by their head being shaped differently like Ex the one denji killed with long nose, and power who has devil horns which is why they had to travel on the roof not to cause panic
Little fact in the manga the clear up prostitution and devil hunting are her choices because they pay good money easily, this is a real issue in Japan, were it is estimated that around 170,000 Junior High and Highschool girls have been involved in some kind of prostitution, they even a name for it
the more you fear a devil, the stronger the devil becomes. the more you fear the specific "type" of devil, the stronger that devil becomes (e.g., fear of guns = gun devil really strong) the devil in the hotel suddenly became much stronger because that Kobeni girl started freaking out, the food ran out, everybody started turning on each other while trying to decide whether to make a "deal with the devil" or not, etc.
I love how you went from "aw Kobeni is so relatable, I feel bad for her" to "okay you're annoying now" 😆I was the same way when I read the manga. It was the part where she blamed Denji for not feeding himself to the Eternity Devil earlier that got me.
Foxes are generally respected in Japan, but they can also be feared due to their demon counterpart in folklore (and other symbolisms relating to bad omens). It can be equated to a fear of ghosts in the US, so a fair amount of people fear foxes. The fear was great enough that towards the end of WW2, the US actually had an entire operation planned to use Japan's Fox Spirit folklore against them as psychological warfare, and it was known as "Operation Fantasia". The operation would begin by distributing pamphlets warning of impending evil and patterned after those of Japanese soothsayers. These would be airdropped and also spread by field operatives who would blow special reed whistles to simulate a fox-like “cry of the damned”, and use powders and pastes to spread “fox odors” throughout Japan. The OSS also enlisted Japanese collaborators to "simulate persons possessed by the Fox Spirit". Finally, live foxes covered in "glowing material" would be released onto every field of combat, signifying bad omens and instilling fear into Japan's troops.
This strategy has failed. The obsession with the fox is still present in folklore, but it is more of a fable to keep children from going deep into the forest alone. Many Japanese fairy tales are about places like this that shouldn't be approached, and things that adults want to hide by scaring children to keep them away. I, too, was told them as a child. The "killing stone"（殺生石 setsyoseki） that the nine-tailed fox was in is real, but the mountain that this stone is on emits poisonous gases, so perhaps it was used to keep people away and spread such folklore. Sorry if my English is strange. from Japan
Definitely the best reactions and commentaries. First time I watched a whole reaction video, a 1 hour and a half on top of that! When's episode 7 to 12 coming out?
you 2 are one of the best reaction channels that I've seen for anime, I've been see you like for 3 days in a row super funny and emotional. Love it and enjoy your videos.😁😁😁
1:32:54 Recall makima saying in the car with aki that all devils grow depending how much they are feared in general. The whole car devil compared to the coffee devil.
Ik you already watched this series but just for the future stop looking away every time u ask a question cuz more often than not your missing that exact answer or something important whenever you do and it’s painful to watch great moments go unnoticed (or just pause when u talk)
If you guys haven't already you should definitely check out fire force, It has a great story, beautiful animation, and the best sound design i've seen in anime
I know you may never see this but people are assuming Denji is actually the Extinction Devil. When he eats a devil or its heart it's erased like it went extinct. The leading cause of extinction nowadays is deforestation. Hence the chainsaws. Also, since everything fears extinction, Denji is the ultimate power. Just a theory though.
the Screen（屏風）in the background is upside down btw, the poem on the screen is called 早梅 (early plum flower) which written by 張謂 （711-778) ， "一樹寒梅白玉條，迥臨村路傍溪橋；不知近水梅花發，疑是春來雪未消"
So idk why but the subtitle is kinda off, because it'll give you guys the wrong meaning of the action, just as an example in the first eps Denji just say "hold me" instead of "hug me" it may seem like too little of a different but that give meaning instead of denji wanted to get hug, he need an assist to help him to not fall down, and makima also say "keep you as a dog" instead as a human, cause she doesnt see him as one.
For some reason only Denji and Power have shark teeth. At least i think so... For as messed up as Chainsaw Man may be so far. It def vying for anime of the year. The production is fantastic. The animation looks incredible. Theyve made entire extra scenes for every ending/intermission. The background banter. This is what excellent animation is made of.
First off, Power has sharp teeth because she's a field, and the corpse's head has been replaced/altered by her own. For Denji... honestly, it could be because he didn't have a reliable food source, and thus had to literally knaw on things that sharpened his teeth over time.
Kobeni was relatable at first and then became annoying. Fans can tolerate but new watchers cant. She redeemed herself though. Im excited for the next few episodes
Denji and Power doesn't have exactly same teeth, denji dont get the fangs, just the equaly sharp teeth, but that's pretty much just character design as far as im aware, never is mentioned.
Will admit, the boob fondling scene, even with the amount of anime I've seen, weirded me out. It was just so... intimate and real... Seriously gave me a "Should i be here???" vibe 😅 But it was a lot shorter than i remember, which is nice
I've been told the reason why he cuts the apples like that at (1:01:07) is a cultural thing; it's a way of giving apple slices to children, akin to American dino nuggies
chainsawman info: in this anime there are many Devils who don't make sense whether they are made of fruit or metal etc. but in this anime they are humans especially devil hunters one of them has contracted a devil whether it's in any form it's only natural that all the devils in the chainsawman are a bit strange
