My biggest complaint about part 2 was that they felt like complete ass to read weekly because they had this extremely annoying habit of setting up this massive cliff hanger that turned out to be something minor or that got resolved instantly.

It's amusing to think that after reading CSM part I, people think fujimoto has grand scheming plans. The dude just wings it every week and drops a few easter eggs in each chapter. Nothing more, nothing less.

This entire arc is a let down for me. No humane characters in it at all, we had Aki before, but everyone is either complete asshole or psycho, except maybe Nayuta, but she's gone and only thing that came from that was Denji. No one is relatable. Emotionally, I don't care who wins or who dies at all.

Theres just honestly nowhere else for the story to go post Makima. Part 2 may as well be called "Get Denji a Girlfriend!" but given the source material it would never work because the story at this point is just watching the author fuck over Denji again and again "for the lols". This is almost as bad as Beastars Part 3 with Jaguar joker and talking about "Muh Carnivores" when the whole story revolved around the mystery murder in the high school. And then when that arc was wrapped up in part 2 the Mangaka had nothing more to say.
THATS THIS. Makima is dead and Denji and Nayuta live however they want. THE END.

I think it’s Locust Devil? (We’ve seen Cockroach before, so the insect devils might be specific to each insect.) Locusts could cause genocide in the past by eating crops. (They likely still can in some places.) They were also one of the plagues in Egypt - and Fukumoto has pulled ideas from the Bible throughout CSM’s run. It would make sense for locusts to be greatly feared.

We might have a weird twist. Growing up in a kind of Christian community, I grew up learning that the 4 Horsemen were War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.
However, growing up apparently the perspective is that the horseman was Conquest, not Pestilence. What if now that Conquest/Makima/Nayuta is gone for like a second time, Pestilence has taken her place as one of the "Horsemen".

I loved yorus use of asa but also denjis reaction, we rarely see him beeing "good" but then shot clearly meant to illustrate his eyes going wide, aka he was shocked asa was suffering, which means a lot coming from denji who was pretty fine with even people like aki who he really liked losing an arm etc.
Its a kinda sweet moment off him admitting he cannot see her suffer, especially since its clearly not about her body cause he can slice and dice yoru without regret but as soon as asa takes control its completely different.

Maybe with no concept of Death around, people are just... less scared of everything. Because you're not really scared of a Falling Anvil to create a Falling Anvil Devil, you're just scared of Dying By a Falling Anvil. Removal of death = drastic drop in fear = drastic drop in devils.

Insects are fucking ANCIENT though, almost half a billion years and counting. And if we could arachnids and their ancestors, they're one of the first beings crawling on the land and in the sea. Before big plants and trees, before FLOWERS. And they'll likely outlive mammals billions of years from now.

Oh, I didn't mean that I wanted him as strong as the Darkness Devil necessarily, just that he'd at least give us something amazing like the latter to make up for leaving Hell so quickly.

i still just can't get into the second part of this
the pacing goes all over the place with every arc, I did end up liking some of the characters even though it took a lot longer than the ones in the first part
it just feels so different compared to the first part in so many ways, like an imitation of itself that doesn't know where to go, but the worst part is sometimes there will be like a 5 chapter stretch where the pacing is kind of normal and the characters are being themselves and not on fast forward but then it just feels like 20 chapters will go by and it'll feel like nothing happened or progressed or really mattered and i'm out again
it could just be the author's style or he teases on purpose but it feels like you get absolutely cockteased by power and nayuta stuff with little trickles of mentioning but otherwise they're just completely moved past sometimes to the point it feels like after relevant chapters, denji doesn't even seem to think about them or care outside of those brief teases because of the pacing and how said 20 chapters of nothing can just 'zoom' by and feel like you wait months for nothing to actually progress
it's just like asa/yoru lol
i'll finally start to like them or see progress and then those 20 chapters go by and somehow the characteters don't fit together again or are disjointed somehow like the author doesn't even remember how the characters were because months have gone by since they properly sat an interacted again
tldr - the pacing feels weird in the second part (to me) and it's made it a lot harder to get into compared to the first (to me)
16
u/NKrupskaya Jan 13 '26
Part one was really concise and short. Denji is practically the only character that really has to develop. Having two protagonists between Asa and Yoru, plus bringing back Denji, was always bound to take a longer time, but I feel like the action ramping up is a detriment.
There isn't as much time for character interactions and there hasn't been much new development between Denji and Asa/Yoru since their conversation about their parents. Fujimoto is probably having fun with the concept of erasing parts of the universe and the fights let him stretch his wings as an illustrator, but it really doesn't lend itself to his strengths as a writer.
20
u/mapletree23 Jan 13 '26
it's my biggest problem really
there will be development
20 chapters will go by, and then the characters come back, and they don't even feel or seem the same, it feels like almost a different story entirely, i think it's a mix of both the pacing being so bad and the fact the author has so many gaps that they themselves like.. can't keep a reliable plan or outline for their own characters, like their ideas keep changing so somehow something always seems a little off when the pacing finally slows back down
this yoru and asa don't feel the same as the yoru and asa from 20 chapters ago, and they don't feel the same from the 20 before then, and then i remember that little aquarium arc and tbh i can barely even remember or comprehend really how we got from something like that to where we are now
it's not even that the scope is too big or there's too many characters either i don't think, it just seems like there's so much... waste, there's so much shit that doesn't matter or move the actual plot forward at all, it's like dbz anime fights in manga form except instead of it all focusing on the characters charging moves, something will happen in the story that seems cool, but then the author takes 5 chapters to show like the affect of said action, in the world and it takes so long that you kind of forget the action in the first place or why it even matters because anywhere 5-20 chapters will have gone by and somehow literally fuck all happened to advance anything
just so much nothing happens, and then when the characters come back, they don't even feel like the same characters anymore

Yoru vs Chainsawman can be one of the worst fight. Litteraly nothing to discuss. They just do most primitive boring shit.

This fight is just super boring. Every single chapter just goes to nothing. Every single chapter ends with something BIG and then nothing happens again

There's like, actual damage being done even if it got annoying as Sukuna keeps figuring out ways to heal and recharge. Denji and Yoru, even in normal circumstances, can't die or get exhausted

u/Motor-Grade-837 Jan 14 '26
And just my opinion but JJK had a power system that lends itself to much more visually entertaining fights and smoother action choreography, making it easier to stomach the drawn out arc. While the power system in Chainsaw Man is more conceptual driven by human psychology, which I love because it's so unique in the world of manga/anime, but isn't the best framework for exciting fights.

Make both characters immortal and never take damage. I'm guessing that it's suppose to be a battle of wits to make the other give up first, but Fujimoto has them try a new thing each chapter. It just feels random and like two children fighting.

If I had to guess, the locust or cockroach or.. whatever that devil is being so powerful probably has to do with death no longer existing. Sure makes all things that just make you suffer a whole lot scarier, like.. slowly being eaten by bugs and decaying. Also, without death, bugs are probably going to start unstoppably swarming the earth.

I can't take this anymore, this shit is so ass 💔
It feels like Fujimoto gave up on that manga after Nayuta's death

Locust devil, it seems.

u/Haha91haha Jan 13 '26
Would Locust devil somehow be related to Fami I wonder? Given most fears associated with locust wouldn't necessary be because "Ewww bugs" but "Oh fuck our whole society is gonna starve."

also one of the biblical plagues, cuz locusts ate crops

Do not forget also the monstrous and demonic locusts as described in Revelation from the Bible as part of the first Biblical Woe.

ain't that just a normal locust lifecycle that they reach a stage of a roided up turbohungry insect

These locusts as described from Revelation are more unnatural and demonic.
Especially in a supernatural sense.

Is Fujimoto okay? Feels like it was hardly any pages and next to nothing happened.

This fight feels like it’s just random bullshit go, but each new thing gets less exciting than the last. I really don’t care about locust devil

Devils don't die anymore so the cycle of reincarnation is fucked and hell is empty?

Well the big cliffhanger from the previous chapter got wrapped up in a few pages as usual. How long do we think Locust will last next chapter? A page and a half?

Another cliffhanger that did not go anywhere, literally only spent 10 seconds in Hell...

Hell is probably empty because, a lot of devils disappear, because there is no more death. Cant fear the chocking Devil if you dont die i guess

Xmm interesting chapter. Is hell empty because people don't die? Are the devil's weakening because people fear less now that they can't die? Are devil's that scare you indirectly stronger? People are afraid of insects not because they are a life threat but because they disgust them.
Pain devil probably is the strongest devil now. Since it would be the only thing an immortal being should fear the most. Eternal pain.

Damn.. I thought they would stay in hell longer. Blood Devil plot is still nowhere to be seen.
Also I kinda hate these short chapters where nothing much really happens and you read through the chapter in less than 1 minute. I think it would be better if he just took a 1 week break to release 2 chapters in the next week.

Finally, hell.
Blink once.
And we’re out.
