Bros! Long time no see! 💕💕💕
I’ve been struggling like crazy to find time!

I’ve posted some updates on the fanfic to keep everyone in the loop.

The last time I posted here, I was hopeful that the pace of my life had stabilized, but the truth is (especially with the elections in Brazil right now) things might not calm down until next year.

I’m stuck with this slow pace! AAAARG

Well, at least the rest of the fic is fully planned out! Even if progress is slow. :33

I hope you enjoy this illustration! Moving on to Chapter 6! (School Attacker!)

>In case you didn't know, CHAINSAW MAN R (or Part 2 Reimagined) is a fanfic written by me (Brendon G.) that reimagines Chainsaw Man Part 2, but takes it in a new direction, starting from Chapter 98. It features a narrative style close to the original and maintains event consistency, while allowing for many of the things fans loved and wanted to see (such as the return of beloved characters, romances, deeper lore, and much more) and making a huge effort to avoid sounding amateurish!

Thnx Pino_156 for posting this classroom model on Sketchfab and available for download. Using 3d models sas guide for scenery helps me allat!!

LETS GOOOOOOO 🔥🔥✌

Edit: Chapter 6***

I finally managed to get back to drawing!

To all the friends following the fanfic and waiting for illustrations: my sincere apologies! I’ve been super busy. I’ve just taken on a few other projects, and the end-of-year rush at work is intense (after all, I work at a school, the end of the year is always hectic!).

I hope you like the art! I plan to get back to my normal routine :) 💕💕💕

For those who don't know it yet, you can read the Reimagined Part 2 (Chainsaw Man R!) here:

See ya friends!!

Edit: Hey friends, I forgot to mention LOL but part 2 of the fic is already 80% planned and structured. That means once the illustrations are finished, I’ll be back to writing at my usual pace (one chapter every two or three days!).

Achei bem interessante. A gameplay parece tá uma dlç também. É interessante ver Zelda apostando em coisas novas, como voltar pra esse grafico Twilight Princess, ou apostar em um filme, e etc.

LET YOU CUT ME OOOPEN!!! 🎶🎶

Sorry for disappearance and the delay, friends. I’ve been absolutely swamped with work lately. But anyway, back to business! Lets goooooooo

I promise to reply to all messages ❤❤❤, and I haven't abandoned the fanfic! There's still time before the anime adaptation of Part 1 is fully concluded!

I’m going to see Part 2 Reimagined through to the end, no matter the cost, no matter how long it takes!!!!! Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Yes, it’s that memory of Asa, the day she lost her mother. That one was painful to make ;=;

I really like this one compared to all the others. Even without using tracing, photobashing, or any other tricks, just drawing it entirely from scratch, this is perhaps the piece where the linework came closest (in my opinion) to the original manga style. That makes me really happy and excited for the next ones! 🔥🔥🔥

The next one will be more action-packed, since it’s Denji vs. the Cockroach Devil!

I hope you like it! See ya ;3

Getting this art out was a struggle! I've been swamped with work lately. But I'm doing my best. I hope you like it! ❤️ ❤️

Sketch phase :3

Hey friends, how are you doing?

Now I can finally get back to illustrating the fanfic. I was super busy this week and wanted to edit this video before moving on with the illustrations.

What a crazy process, right?

See ya! ❤

After a while, I finally finished! I hope you like it! ❤❤❤

This piece took me a bit longer than usual because, firstly, I'm getting used to my display tablet, and secondly, my daughters are on school vacation, so I've been spending time with the family and playing Hytale alat :3

I think I can now gradually get back to my regular illustrations.

So, next step: Illustrating Chapter 2 (99) – Two Birds!!

Lets gooooooooo

I'll pause here, next step is redraw everything, with ink, right anatomy and all
If it turns out well, I'll put it in the preface.

Can we PLEASE stop with the stupid character and ship hate?

This place is basically dead until we get new content. We're already scraping the bottom of the barrel just to keep the community alive. We don't need pointless ship wars on top of that.

About Reze:

If you're still defending Reze, just stop.

You know that girl from high school? The fun, outgoing one who secretly had a terrible home life. She made your days brighter, seemed different from everyone else, looked like she'd be down for anything, but you never actually got together.

That's Reze.

You never got together. And you never will. She was an idealized version of a woman that existed mostly in your own head. She happily played into that image because it was fun. It was a brief escape for her, and she genuinely enjoyed those moments.

But even she knew it could never become something real. Even if it somehow did, it'd probably fall apart pretty quickly because you can't just pretend your past, or the people controlling your life, doesn't exist. There was never a fairy tale here.

You never really knew who Reze actually was. You only knew the cute version of her that both you and she were playing along with. That's literally who Reze is. That's how she was written. When people romanticize her and defend personality traits that she herself admits were fake, traits that completely disappear once she drops the act and becomes much colder and more serious, you somehow end up looking even more naive than Denji himself.

Don't be that guy.

About Asa:

If you're defending Asa, stop too.

Would Asa have been the perfect girl for Denji? Yeah. Could they have had an amazing romance? Absolutely. Could she have been an incredible protagonist instead of becoming a supporting character in her own story? Yep. Would Denji probably have fallen in love with her if the story hadn't changed direction? Most likely. Would she have made Denji genuinely happy? The kind of happiness that comes from a real relationship instead of the explosive dopamine rush Reze represents? Yes.

Would. Could. Should.

That's Asa.

She's the idea of what Denji's future wife or girlfriend could have been in a healthy, mature relationship. A relationship that NEVER happened. Maybe it could happen someday. Maybe in another universe. But it didn't happen here.

Denji and Asa have nothing. Denji barely even likes Asa. Every time he says he likes her, it's always "a little." He's happy that someone likes him, not specifically that it's Asa.

And honestly, that makes sense. Real, healthy love isn't like a drug that gives you an instant dopamine high.

It's quiet. It's gentle. It lives in the little moments. Understanding each other. Working together. Simply being there. Did Denji and Asa have moments like that? Absolutely.

Did any of it actually become a real relationship? No.

Up until the Aquarium Arc, it genuinely looked like that was where the story was going. Then it wasn't. Their romance died in the Aquarium Arc. They barely saw each other for almost a year until Asa rescued him. Everything after that was essentially an abusive relationship with Yoru, not Asa, while Denji kept objectifying her.

After the Aquarium Arc they were never actually together or even close to becoming a real couple. They became emotionally distant, confused, trapped in a toxic mess where Asa projected her guilt over everything Yoru did through her body, while Denji kept seeing her as his last chance to finally get laid.

That's it.

Asa and Denji never happened.

Potential is the word that defines them.

They had the potential to become a couple. But the story clearly chose another direction. Instead of telling a love story, it used the potential for one to tell a story about downfall, abuse, and defeat.

That's all.

Both ships are allegories for more serious themes.

They're not even complicated. They're just reflections of real relationships.

You're not Einstein for noticing that. It just means you've reached a certain level of emotional maturity.

That's it.

Both Asa and Reze were wasted characters.

Neither one is better.

One is a fraud by design, a character whose real personality and story we barely ever get to see before she's basically forgotten after Chapter 97.

The other starts as the protagonist of Part 2 only to slowly become a stepping stone that exists mainly to elevate other characters after the story abruptly changes direction.

Post fanart. Post theories. Talk about something fun. Talk about the upcoming game. Anything.

Thnx

Edit: It’s incredible how some guys ignored the whole point of the post, picked a side, and brought their character wars HERE. The post isn't about who's better, you fools!! It's about stopping the romanticizing/demonizing of characters and keeping the sub from becoming ONLY about that!
Take this seriously, Denji!!

Yoru my beloved is here ❤️

Damn, now I can go to sleep haha

My sweet queen ❤️

War never changes.

Seeing Fujimoto's original artwork and trying to reimagine it without looking at it is a really cool process.

My sweetie 💕💕💕
