Chainsaw Man Characters Ranked By How Far Along They Are On The Eightfold Path

Denji: Right View. Denji knows his actions have consequences, that death is not the end (easy when you're Hybrid) and that beliefs have consequences after death. But his refusal to strive toward non-violence holds him back and his conduct is still too vulgar to give him the right kind of resolve.

Aki: Right Conduct. By the end of his arc, Aki is ahead by four entire steps which is impressive considering his profession. He does not kill, take what is not given, display sexual misconduct or show materials desires. If he just dropped the meat and the liquor, he would be ahead of most of his population.

Power: Off the path entirely. It's like she's not even trying.

Himeno: Right View. Himeno is more than aware of actions having consequences, that death is not the end (Ghost Devil and her desire to be mourned by someone after death). But she makes no real effort to curb her violent tendencies or her vulgar conduct, leaving her stuck at the first step.

Arai: Right Resolve. I'll give Arai the benefit of the doubt and assume that outside of work, he strives for non-violence. However, his behavior in the Eternity Devil arc implies he lies to others about his true intentions so he's stuck at the second step.

Violence Devil/Galagli: Right Conduct. Violence has the potential to make it to the eighth step...but unfortunately, his mask feeds him poison so he can't qualify for the fifth step.

Kobeni: Right Speech. Kobeni is surprisingly observant despite her anxiety but her propensity for killing leaves her at the third step. She must curb her rage if she wishes to reach enlightenment.

Kurose: Right Resolve. Kurose displays too much propensity idle chatter to qualify for the third step. I assume he's not too violent out of work.

Tendo: Right Samadhi. Having shown no evidence of the previous steps in canon, Michiko Tendo is ripe for enlightenment. Good for her.

Quanxi: Right View. Despite her age, Quanxi is stuck at the same step as Denji due to her violent responses to issues. Shame on her.

Asa: Right Resolve. Asa, despite her attitude problem, isn't particularly violent but her abusive speech disqualifies her from the third step. She needs to work on how she talks to others.

Yuko: Right View. Due to her contract with the "Justice Devil", we'll never know how far Yuko's violent tendencies go. But she displayed enough to disqualify her from the second step.

Makima: Right View. She is killing understanding the consequences of her actions...but her plans involve too much violence. You think such a powerful woman would know better...

Kishibe: Right View. All these old people being so violent...a bad example for the younger generation.

Yoshida: Right View. Too casual with killing. Stop killing with tentacles if you want to get to the second step.

Reze: Right View. Can't stop killing. Too bad, a bomb would perfect for facilitating bojjhaṅgā.

Angel Devil: Right Effort. His death touch prevents unwholesome states of mind, making him a perfect candidate for bojjhaṅgā. But his rather weak willpower prevents him from reaching sati. He needs to work on that.

Tetsu Ota Michiko, 2 Man Kiro: Chichibu Hen (2024)

Train Otaku Michiko (Tamashiro Tina) returns for a second season, as she explores more train lines and unmanned train stations around the Japanese countryside.

One of those comfort J-dramas where you follow the main lead on their journey across Japan. It's like a mix of travel vlog, drama and documentary.

Hope Netflix or any of the stream sites pick up this show. It's as therapeutic as Midnight Diner, Samurai Gourmet and The Road to Red Restaurants List.

Underrated Josei Anime Gems You Might Have Missed

Listen up, friends! While everyone's talking about Nana and Paradise Kiss (which are AMAZING, don't get me wrong), there's a whole treasure trove of Josei anime flying under the radar! After reading this incredible deep dive into the world of Josei anime, I went down a rabbit hole to find the hidden gems!

The Overlooked Masterpieces

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - This historical drama about traditional Japanese storytelling has some of the most complex character writing EVER. The decades-spanning relationships and tragedies will wreck you emotionally. Why isn't everyone talking about this??

Chihayafuru - Technically seinen but with major josei vibes! Competitive karuta (Japanese card game) becomes the backdrop for nuanced relationships and personal growth. The slow-burn romance is chef's kiss.

Usagi Drop - A 30-something man suddenly becomes guardian to his grandfather's illegitimate young daughter. The exploration of found family and unexpected parenthood is handled with such tenderness. (Just stick to the anime and ignore the manga ending, TRUST ME).

Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) - Jazz music in 1960s Japan provides the backdrop for complicated friendships, love triangles, and coming-of-age. The animation of the jazz performances alone is worth it!

Michiko to Hatchin - This criminally underrated series follows a fugitive and a young girl on a road trip across a fictionalized Brazil. The female protagonists are complex, flawed, and utterly captivating.

Hataraki Man - A workaholic female editor navigates career ambitions, gender expectations, and relationships. It's refreshingly honest about the struggles of work-life balance for career-driven women.

What's your favorite under-the-radar Josei series? I'm always looking to add to my watchlist! 💕

Do you see them as a QPR?

QPR Definition:

"Queerplatonic relationships (QPR), also known as queerplatonic partnerships (QPP), are committed intimate relationships between significant others whose relationship is not romantic in nature."

QPR Reasoning:

"They are always seen together, are close outside of work and share a Devil contract...and they have NO romantic tension (and Yutaro has a girlfriend)."
