Chainsaw Man Chapter 220 Thoughts
Tumblr media
I’m going to feel completely honest when it comes the latest chapter of Chainsaw Man.  These past couple weeks of delivering my thoughts on each chapter up until the day this one dropped was interesting.  It’s just that feeling of knowing I’m going to be like everyone else from hear on out where my share my thoughts on a chapter of Chainsaw Man whenever Tatsuki Fujimoto decides to release the next one. One thing that comes to mind is how this chapter faired knowing a simple fact we had to wait 2 weeks. 
Let me just preference with an phrase I used in the previous chapter thoughts. Fool me once, shame once you. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me three times  shame on us both. Is it possible we could add a Fool me four times? I say that because of what transpired at the very beginning. Nayuta unveiled a chain from the tip of her finger onto Asa/Yoru which commanded her to act like a dog.  When approached by Denji as to why such a thing was committed?  Nayuta straight up told him that she spat on him and he demanded for her to turn Asa back to normal. Nayuta doesn’t budge because she’s hungry and won’t do anything until then, which Denji obliges to cook something thus leaving Nayuta excited. In the middle of their meal, Denji repeats to Nayuta to turn Asa back to normal after she’s finished with her food while keeping the dogs away who wanna have some of the cooking he made. Asa rested by a few of the other dogs alongside meowy <- the cat which belonged to Power previously.  
Nayuta raises a serious point to Denji about the woman who’ve entered his life tend end his life. That almost implies that he’s told her about Reze and Makima, or at the very least has alluded to them at some point between the end of Part 1 and Part 2.  She asks  him what makes Asa different from the other woman, and Denji just says it’s based on a feeling he has about her. Nayuta agrees to turn Asa back  normal on two specific conditions. She is allowed to eat ice cream every day, and that’s is fine with Denji as long as he gets some too. The second condition is that Nayuta doesn’t want him to be friendly with Asa anymore because she doesn’t like her sent, and would even decide to alter her memories so that Asa believes he never showed up.  Denji isn’t exactly too fond of the idea, but it’s also noted how much Nayuta values him in her life.  Of course, given the state of everything that’s happened in his life, Denji puts Nayuta first above all leaving her to give a cheery smile with a simply peace sign in a manner that was similar to the one Denji made during Part 1.
Finally,  Asa is seen back at the school around  the evening hours by the front where Yoru notes that Denji stood them up, and that perhaps it would be to pursue a different guy.  She believes of a possibility that Denji might’ve just forgotten which didn’t bother her <-  more of the contrary to say the least,  and goes through deep in-depth analysis of copium for why things turned out the way they did for her.  Yoru isn’t exactly super impressed by the way things are turning out for Asa’s thought process of convincing herself. That is while she questioned why that’s bothering her when it should be focused on being in control of her body again like before.  Out of nowhere, Yoshida pops into the scene asking Asa if she’s okay, and if he can be given some company for a bit since she’s got nothing better to do bringing a close to the chapter. 
All in all, I give this chapter of Chainsaw Man a Pure Perfection rating. There isn’t anything more that I could’ve asked for in a followup to the previous one, and yes it took a turn in a direction I didn’t necessarily expect. However, it is without a doubt one of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s strongest suites as a writer and a mangaka. The dynamic Denji and Nayuta share together was honestly the biggest highlight for me with this chapter, and it continues to showcase really how much more growth Denji has gone through then what we’ve initially realized since the events of Part 1. Their bonding stems from a big brother- little sister relationship, and it’s just wholesome and amazing.  Part of me does have to wonder about Yoshida’s role in Part 2 because it’s felt kind of suspicious and the way this chapter ended continues to leave that sensation.  By the looks of things we won’t be getting another chapter until next Tuesday which I’m totally fine with especially since it’ll be the end of this current volume (#14). That being said, this is pretty much all I’ve gotta say when it pertains to this week’s chapter of Chainsaw Man, but I do hope you all stay safe out there and take care of yourselves!
