anyone want some milk to start their day?

We all may hate the shit out of you but our infatuation with your works is eternal...

Am I wrong though?

Reze started the story just as a love interest to Denji, and in a way, she will always be linked to him. She was introduced as what Denji really was and wanted and a warning to what could he become under Makima and Public Safety with his current path. But she didn’t remained that way. Through her interactions with Denji, she started to develop beyond just her love story and even mission. She had personality, with how she studied on her free time without having the need to just be 24/7 around Denji, and what marked the switch on her arc, is that she had actual interest on Denji as a person. She never asked Denji to do something for her, but WITH her. So by the end of the arc and her demise, she became a strong presence in the narrative, even with her absence. So when Denji later remembers her it’s not just as a love interest, but an absence that hurts. She left an impact in the characters and the audience.

Asa started the other way around. She was the protagonist of Part 2, she had her own arc and challenges with Yoru, her troubled past, her flaws and with Yuko. She was completely different and separated from Denji, so when he was re introduced into the narrative, she was her equal or foil, which let a lot more possibilities. When she interacted with Denji, they couldn’t stand each other, which made the Aquarium Date hit even harder, and made fans like the idea of the two protagonist getting together. But the more the story advanced, the less it hit. Asa began losing her own agency and even personality. When she finally found out that Denji was Chainsaw Man, her reaction was lackluster. Her personality is incredible curious and fulu autistic, when she can keep her mouth shut, bringing her a lot of issues, but she doesn’t ask Denji… anything about him. She doesn’t ask him about his past or the events of Part 1, she doesn’t do anything that would let her know him. In contrast with how Reze was written, she always asked Denji what he wanted and what he desired, and it is shown they interacted a lot off screen, Denji telling her aboit his past, his work at PS, about Aki and Power. In contrast, Asa doesn’t show the interest in concordance with her personality.

And after the Aging Arc, there is nothing left. Asa doesn’t have the same back and forward she used to have with Denji, she never asks about Denji personally not even by chance, or even remembering Yuko, and by a point she loses all the screentime to Yoru. And what is worse, considering Part 2 is longer than Part 1 and the Reze Arc, in universe, Asa spends less time with Denji than Reze. The Reze Arc takes place in a week, with Denji and Reze spending all days of that week together, an average of 3 hours per day. But Part 2 takes place over 8 months roughly, and Asa and Denji spent a total of time together roughly 5-6 days tops, an average of an hour per day. And by the end, we don’t see Asa’s reaction to Yoru’s switch, we don’t see her reaction to Yoru about to have sex with Denji, we don’t even see her demise.

It is sad, but at least he have this two amazing characters, even if they wete treated so differently, and both screwed in the end.

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!

What do u think?

For those who don’t know, the Fight Club theory proposes that Asa and Yoru are the same person and Yoru is just the personality Asa uses to engage in her more selfish desires, much like the main character of Fight Club

3rd time this week eh?

I know Pochita only went on a date with Kobeni to fulfill Denji’s wish of going on a date with a girl, but idk I think they’d be really cute
