Chainsaw Man R - Part 2 Reimagined update notes! 🔥 AuthorBrendonG.

Hey friends! It’s been a little while!

As promised, I’m here to let you all know that we’ve officially reached 20 chapters, and we’ve actually been fully disconnected from the original storyline for quite some time now.

Villains revealed. Changing mindsets. New encounters...
Things are moving fast!

Context:
For those who just got here, I’m Brendon G, and I’m rewriting Part 2 as a fanfic while aiming to make it feel as close to a Light Novel as possible (structure, storytelling, and soon, illustrations too). You can check out my art here, as well as some of the CSM stuff I’ve already made here.

I’m also the editor behind that alternative Chapter 232 that came out a few days before the original and got kinda popular for a while (even though I made it mostly as a ship joke haha), and I’m a writer in my spare time.

After all, I’m basically just another member of the community, but I genuinely want to pour my love into creating something that leaves both me and whoever reads it with the memory of a warm and interesting alternate story.

I’m not trying to “fix” or “improve” the ending or anything like that, mainly because I think Fujimoto knew exactly what he was doing, and well, he’s the author. My goal is more about giving people some of the things I personally wanted to see as a fan, but never got to - Asaden, Power, Kishibe, Reze, Primals, and so on.

So ever since the final chapter released, I’ve been writing and posting new chapters every 1–2 days for my fanfic rewrite of Part 2, which I named Chainsaw Man R, or Part 2 Reimagined.

You can check the full chapter list so far here:

I really hope you guys are enjoying it, and for those who haven’t checked it out yet, I hope you will, and hopefully even more once I start illustrating everything.

Thank you all so much for the support, the feedback, the suggestions, and everything else that has come and will continue to come!

Feel free to ask/suggest anything you want! DMs are welcome.

You don't have to follow this, but you know, while there's no more official content, why not give fan content a chance? :3

Thanks, friends!
See you all again when we hit 25 or 30 chapters!
3/5 of the Asaden dates have been done, and we're going to face the Fakesaw Man!!!

Crazy Comparisons or

Lost Brother and Sister. Seriously, am I the only one who sees similarities between Shinji and Asa? Judge for yourself.

>Total social awkwardness - both Shinji and Asa have a hard time making friends, I'd say they both have anxiety disorders.

>Very few friends, and those they have disappear somewhere. Shinji had two male friends and a complicated relationship with Rei/Asuka. We all remember what happened in the end: one was hurt by Angel, the other left, the third became GIANT NAKED. Only Asuka remained. In Asa's case: there's Yuko, her only friend, probably her entire life, and Asa doesn't even know about her fate, and a very complicated relationship with Denji, permeated by their shared schizophrenia.

>They are controlled by evil forces, but don't know it (like the entire population of these series): Shinji works for his bastard father, who had a hand in Second Impact and is trying to arrange a third, and Asa works for the Church, led by the maniac Shigga. Both are driven by selfish but noble goals. But in the end, everything goes to hell.

>And the most interesting thing, in my opinion, is how they became the trigger for the apocalypse, despite being essentially innocent of it: Asa's body is possessed by Yoru, who is doing everything in her power to bring about the Apocalypse. Asa acts as a hostage here and even attempts suicide several times to stop Yoru. Shinji, once again, found himself caught in a struggle between two maniacs (Gendo and Seele), who had done everything in their power to orchestrate Third Impact. And Shinji pulled the trigger. But driven into a fugue state, he abandoned his instrumentality when he was properly talked to. I like the analogy of someone who's been systematically driven to suicide, then given a gun, and pulls the trigger. Then they blame that person for their own suicide. Gendo is a bastard, I'd like to rip his balls off.

One difference: Asa is almost universally loved (deservedly, but not enough; everyone needs to love her), while Shinji... Everyone hates Shinji because he's a "whiner, a gooner," and God knows what else.

Damn, now I want a fanfic where Shinji is Asa's cousin and lives with her before the events of Evangelion. Like in the manga, where he lived with his aunt and uncle.

Whoever writes about the hospital scene will have to do 20 push-ups

I love Asa so much that I hope to meet a girl like her one day

Although tbh I myself am similar to her in character, not 100%, but anyway
