The Unveiling of Chainsaw Man's True Identity: Chapter 153
A deep dive into the latest chapter of Chainsaw Man and the revelation of Denji's true nature as seen through the eyes of Nayuta.
The New Academy Saga
Chainsaw Man has taken a bold new direction with the introduction of the Academy saga, a departure from the familiar territory of Public Safety and intense Devil battles. In this new arc, the focus shifts to the character Asa as she navigates her new 'roommate' and Denji's everyday life. Despite the change in setting, the series retains its trademark violent Devil fights, ensuring that fans are not left wanting.
Recent chapters have delved deep into Denji's internal struggles, as he grapples with the idea of leaving his current self behind and becoming the full-time Chainsaw Man. This desire for notoriety and fame as a chainsaw-wielding superhero presents a stark contrast to his previous life, raising questions about his true identity and purpose.
Nayuta's Perspective
Chapter 153 marks a significant turning point in the series, particularly regarding Nayuta's perception of Denji. The long-standing theory that Nayuta could be the reincarnation of Makima is challenged, as a pivotal scene in the chapter sheds light on Nayuta's genuine view of Denji.
While Makima disregarded Denji's humanity and aspirations, viewing him solely as a means to get closer to Chainsaw Man, Nayuta's perspective is markedly different. Nayuta's childlike nature and familial focus offer a stark contrast to Makima's manipulative tendencies, as she sees Denji for who he truly is, not just as Chainsaw Man.
A Shift in Dynamics
The chapter showcases Denji's yearning to reclaim his role as Chainsaw Man, only to face a harsh reality where he is no longer revered as the savior he once was. This shift in public perception challenges his notion of heroism and prompts Nayuta to step in and protect him from the wrath of the citizens, showcasing her unwavering devotion and care for Denji's well-being.
Nayuta's actions serve as a testament to her stark dissimilarity from Makima, laying to rest any lingering doubts about her true intentions. Her portrayal as a guardian and protector, rather than a manipulative figure, defies the nature of the Control Devil, offering a refreshing perspective on her character and the intricate dynamics at play.
