Rereading chainsaw man is so interesting, understanding the full context. Chainsaw man chapter 1 is such a powerful opening, I think it does a great job showing the level of desperation Denji feels. He's unloved, starving and slowly dying, and yet he still has aspirations, ones that make him stand out amongst the rest of the devil hunters we later see, who expect death and in somecases fully welcome it. Denji is dehumanized by the Yakuza. This sorta parallels the end of part one with Makima, viewing him as a dog, which the yakuza refers to him as such. Once Denji has killed the Zombie devil, Denji feels what is like the first form of affection in his life. Naturally, he latches on to this and does anything to get into Makima's good grace. He's being used, and ultimately, he doesn't really care. He is taught that this is how affection is transactional.

Since everyone’s doin’ em.

FILL IN:

it's the same old story but nobody seems to notice it the dogma that is southern culture chases away all that have the drive to improve their life, a fact that is repeated endlessly in life and fiction alike leaving those who just accept shallow truths with unsatisfying lives that drive them to hate those who differ due to a stubborn belief that they can never be wrong, so clearly it's just everyone else who is wrong
