Emotional Rollercoaster: Fans Left in Tears by the Denji and Aki Parallel in Chainsaw Man Chapter 152

In Chainsaw Man chapter 152, the story takes a sudden turn as Denji, who had been resisting becoming Chainsaw Man, succumbs to his enemies' pressure and transforms into his devil form. This time, it appears that Denji has completely lost himself after the transformation.

Nayuta expresses concern and pleads with Denji to regain control, but he warns her to stay away for her own safety. Despite the intense pain, Denji embraces his new identity and is willing to endure it for the thrill it brings. This scene bears a striking resemblance to an earlier incident involving Aki during the Public Safety Saga, leaving fans intrigued by the parallel.

Chainsaw Man chapter 152: Fans compare Denji's Chainsaw Man look to Aki's Gun Fiend look

In chapter 152 of Chainsaw Man, we witnessed Denji transforming into Chainsaw Man once more. Except this time, he was prepared to unleash his full power, as everyone was attempting to coerce him back into that form. These efforts resulted in members of the Chainsaw Man Church setting fire to Denji and Nayuta's residence, ultimately leading to the demise of all their beloved pets. Consequently, Denji was no longer inclined to restrain himself while his adversaries inflicted harm upon his companions.

The way Denji appeared during the incident bore a striking resemblance to Aki Hayakawa's greeting of Denji as the Gun Devil Fiend. This sparked memories of the terrifying event and the subsequent horrors of the Public Safety Saga for fans. In addition, fans also noted numerous other parallels between the two incidents.

Many fans were deeply disturbed by the resemblance between Denji killing Miri Sugo and his previous killing of Aki Hayakawa. Despite the terror, they couldn't help but praise manga creator Tatsuki Fujimoto. However, some fans believed the parallels were not intentional but an unexpected creation.

While many fans had reservations about the arc initially, the recent events and parallels convinced them that the entire arc was going to have a similar emotional impact as the manga's first part. In the first part, Denji suffered the loss of both Aki and Power, leading fans to anticipate similar losses in the second part.

Chainsaw Man chapter 152 received mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing their disappointment and others praising the deliberate parallels created by manga creator Tatsuki Fujimoto. Despite the lack of interest in the recent arc's antagonists, fans were impacted by Fujimoto's storytelling techniques, which managed to capture their attention and emotions.

Fans were convinced that Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man chapter 152 was an attempt to redirect their attention back to the manga. However, the declining artwork in recent chapters has left fans uncertain about the manga's future.

Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of Chainsaw Man, I was deeply moved by the emotional rollercoaster that chapter 152 took me on. The parallel between Denji's transformation into Chainsaw Man and Aki's Gun Fiend appearance was both haunting and thought-provoking. It brought back memories of the Public Safety Saga and the tragic events that unfolded, leaving me with a sense of nostalgia and sadness.

The chapter also highlighted the darker side of Denji's character, as he embraced his devilish nature and unleashed his full power. The parallels between Denji killing Miri Sugo and his previous killing of Aki Hayakawa were particularly disturbing, yet they showcased the complex and morally ambiguous nature of the characters in Chainsaw Man. Despite the emotional turmoil, I couldn't help but admire Tatsuki Fujimoto's storytelling and his ability to evoke such strong emotions in his readers.
