I just found out the official website for the franchise is chainsawman.dog

Dooba Dooba

Might just be me. But it's wild to me that people get attached to that kid so quick. He likely died quick. I'm more impressed by 1.2million deaths in 5 minutes than some kid. You do you, just vocalizing oddities

inSight

im years late but holy fuck, let the outro play out! This is absurd. You pause every 5 seconds, its like Denji is kicking me in the nuts. Watch it, and then go back. Its not that hard.

AnaGothic

I still go back and watch Ending 5. Visually, it's one of the best Endings in all of Anime, along with Ending 3.

TrinitytheApostle

Thanks for the video. Hope you have a good day tomorrow

cyoto

LETS FUCKING GO!!! i hope you are doing okay. idk you take the time you need, honestly you the realest

Andres Lozano

Thanks for the video! Your positivity along with engagement/expertise of media in general can change a bad day.

Thanks alicia, still sending you positive vibes.

This episode is pretty much the "excuse me, mommy, sorry, mommy, sorry," meme in a nutshell.

Zane

Alicia this episode was such a treat to watch with you! This show somehow gets better and better

Sylke Gosen

Sounds pretty serious this illness. Wishing you well.

Welcome to the big Jujutsu Kaisen scavenger hunt! Only instead ending in a public execution, the goal is premarital sex.

Fujimoto clarified what the prank they pulled in the morning was, they put shit on Aki's nose, and Fujimoto did not elaborate or whose shit it was. The Gun Devil bit is so fucking terrifying, 1.2 million people is just under 5 minutes. Poor tiny Aki, he just wanted to play catch

First off: If you're tired, just read this when you've got energy. No rush, the words will be around for ya wheneves. I'll split my tl;dr into several bits to make it easier. No spoilers as always. • To start — film geek stuff in the ED: The ending theme cutting directly on the cliffhanger of them being stuck in a loop uses some visual motifs in the center of mœbius strips, Celtic Knots, & Penrose Steps, but those aren't the best ones. The most repeated one that goes through multiple iterations is of, "Horse in Motion" which is a part of the history of chronophotography that would eventually lead to moving pictures and cinematography… because that started by replaying the same gallop of that one horse, but in a way where that single moment just repeats seamlessly to us in a continuous loop. Not only that, but those same techniques are central to the development of animation, where they match keyframes with frame rates for depicting motion without drawing everything uniquely in every frame. It's creating believable combinations of motion that all appears to be unique when combined together with differently timed animation loops and only certain unique details. The subtle details and cinematography language of this series are really on another level. • Tiny visual geek details elsewhere: I loved how you brought up the use of color on the building and the shots of the stamp falling while Makima & Denji are having their interaction as a parallel to the conversation itself. I have to credit BOLDcast for noticing another detail in that scene that really speaks to MAPPA's meticulous attention to detail. The paper that Denji is stamping is a form that came off of a printer. In the close-up, rather than the text just being black, there is subtle CYMK blurring around the printed text like you'd see on a close up of a piece of paper from an actual ink jet printer. The level of attention to detail in the shots are just mind-blowing, because it seems like there's always something that people who are knowledgeable about will pick up on. • Details about the Gun Devil that're only given visually. Makima mentions that the Gun Devil is something that gained strength because of a worldwide fear of guns that arose with their use being increased in order to combat Devils. It appeared in America and wiped out 1.2 million people in under 5 minutes. The multiple shots of destruction and photos on the desk are easy to miss especially after the shock and personal scope of Aki's backstory — but they're all of different countries, plus Aki lived in Japan not America. Even while the visuals of the terror attack in America 13 years ago showing a single smoking tower on tv are a visual parallel to 9/11, it's not meant to BE that event. In Episode 3 we hear from Makima's superiors that the Soviet Union is still around. (Chainsaw Man's setting is designed as an alternate 1997 Japan). The thematic context around that sudden amplification of fear globally after a single tragedy is what it's utilizing that visual parallel for. That's also why when when Aki's family gets killed, it's paralleling the video of the 1950's Nevada Proving Grounds atomic bomb test… but it's obliterating a home of an innocent family living in Japan, followed by a visual from a plane's PoV of the destruction across a whole city — because that's the same theme of that sudden shift in global terror over one thing that's Japan's own history. Makima also mentions that the Gun Devil is so fast that pieces of it get torn off of it just from moving, which is why they're collecting and gathering them together to track it down. What that means is that the Gun Devil appeared in America, killed hundreds of thousands of people across multiple continents all over the entire world in 5 minutes that TOTALLED to 1.2 million casualties… and then vanished. Tonally, the point is that emotionally you're hit with an inconceivable and unprocessable amount of information all at once, like when Makima asks Denji to kill the Gun Devil and like how Aki lost his family. The manga does the same thing by listing all the locations and exact numbers of casualties that add to the 1.2 million total in a couple pages of shock info. You're not meant to remember the exact numbers or places, but just get a sense of how inconceivably massive that threat is all at once in a way where you can't hold all those details. The manga's format makes it a bit easier to grasp how the Gun Devil was a global threat that's slightly harder to get from the anime's delivery even though all the core information is still there, it takes more work to make sense of it. For the anime, speaking that same info would take a lot longer and lose that quick sense of "obliteration and vanish" that it's meant to have, so that's a blur of visual information instead, which achieves the most important purpose of linking those emotional hooks to the characters. Especially going in to the framing of that last shot between Denji & Makima that you broke down the balance of, it helps show that the purpose is displaying the power dynamic of information like a huge wall that's positioned between Denji & Makima. Even though they now share a mutual goal of Denji killing the Gun Devil, they're still in very different places on that. That's also why wrapping up the scene, Denji makes the pun, "It'll be a PEACE of cake." while showing a peace sign with his hand. It's casually being confident about such a crazy task with a global scope in a very Denji way. (The pun itself is a little different in Japanese but it's again a similarly connected bit of wordplay & visual). • Denji & Goals. One of my favourite things about how the characters are designed is about how they operate so realistically based on their experience. Denji's first goal is literally just jam on bread while living in a shack. Then, when living with Aki, he keeps adding things and gets his ultimate toast that he eats all the time. He started out in a place where he can't even conceive that the context of where or how he eats that could change his experience of it at all. That's how he starts out with wanting to grab some boob. When his experience with Power is underwhelming he doesn't understand it and he doesn't understand why. Based upon what he's gone through, he thinks that it SHOULD have been awesome, but it didn't meet expectations and now he thinks that everything might be that way. Makima picks up on that and walks Denji through a bunch of steps to give him the same experience of grabbing boob — but this time he falls off his chains grabbing his chest in total shock. She's showing him how it's not just the experience, but the FRAMING of that experience that matter to how it gets processed as pleasurable or not. That starts to get into a key element of just why she's such a dominating and commanding figure whenever she's present. She's always reading context and she responds in a way that motivates people towards what they want that also matches what she wants. That's her job and why offering Denji any wish he wants is trivial to the task she's asking, but he's fully motivated to do it. That's because as much as she's genuinely educating him about things he doesn't understand, she's also pointing him in a direction he needs to go. But she doesn't do it the way that you'd expect from their professional power dynamic. That gets into the last bit of detail that's a bit of a literal language barrier as one of the details doesn't have a true equivalent translation. • Power Dynamics with Japanese Casual vs. Formal Language, and Responsibility in Authority: Aki's own past in losing his whole family along with Himeno's loss of her previous six partners puts a ton of weight on her quote to him, "Don't die on me, Aki." It reinforces why he's so brutal with Denji in Episode 2 about joining for a dumb reason like wanting to get with Makima. Even moreso because in the flashback, Himeno's superior mentions that Aki's rude but he trained him to be of some use at least. Aki started out as some punk driven by revenge and current Aki sees how critical it was that he left those things behind. This is why he's trying to get Denji & Power to have manners when they are working together, even if it's bribing them with sticks of gum to address him formally. They play up the respect angle to help that concept translate really well, but there's a nuance that's a bit contextually different because of how different Japanese language is used culturally. Japan is an island nation with a disproportionately large number of natural disasters, and a people who originally operated in clans. Because it's important for everyone to cooperate and not act independently out of fear to ensure that everyone survives a disaster, there's a large emphasis on social conformance that's exceptionally emphasized in environments like school & work in modern Japanese society. What Aki is telling them to use as "manners" is "Keigo" which is a hierarchy structured language that's used in those Japanese formal & business environments. It arose as a way that reinforced social class hierarchies in ancient Japan, but it persists as a way of showing respect, but also instantly communicating hierarchy of authority. There's a lot of attention to how you address someone and the level of formality that it displays because it communicates information about your authority towards everyone else as well as naunces about how well you know each other. Power speaks in a really rigid and archaically awkward way, but it doesn't carry any respect because she views Humans as inherently below her. Denji is some street kid who has never used formal language because he was always at the bottom rung socially. To add to that, Denji & Power don't even have rights and are literally a lower class, even beyond how they're used operationally. They take point in conflicts with Devils based upon how trustworthy they are, because they can be exterminated if necessary. Again, it's a hierarchy that prioritizes group safety over the individual autonomy in survival settings that is reflected in Japanese Keigo. Aki is always overly formal in his operational behaviour with them, but especially when they're officially on duty. This brings us to Himeno and her two rookies. She's overly informal with them, constantly hugging Kobeni and chatting casually. Her rookies have a different but mirrored juxtaposition of that dynamic. By contrast, Arai is extremely formal even to the point that he's shocked that Aki would act so casually with her juniors and is deeply offended at even the idea of Denji kissing her because of how much that's a violation of the appropriate conduct within their professional setting. On top of that, while they're both rookies, there's Denji's standing compared to his own as a Human & Devil, and even moreso with regard to Himeno who Denji just met and who Arai has been trained under directly for the last six months. Kobeni is just as formal but unlike Arai, she lacks the driving motivation to act that he has, so she's overly reserved and doesn't know how to deal with those unexpectedly unruly situations. That's why Himeno is being super unprofessional with her and not Arai, because she's trying to balance them out to be able to respond to situations appropriately that match their natural talents of lack thereof in the same way that Aki has to do that from the completely opposite direction. That's why Arai is chasing Denji into the building and confronting him, Power immediately wants to join in on the conflict as fight that's happening, and Kobeni slowly approaches as she doesn't feel confident of how to intervene. That's why those four are apart as Himeno & Aki discuss the dynamics of their rookies. The six of them have a perfectly distributed dynamic in a job where their job is literally centered around operational survival structure where not working efficiently and effectively means that people get killed. We see that when the Devil appears. Kobeni freezes, Himeno has to grab it and before Kobeni can figure out what to do, Power dives in for the kill. They compliment each other's shortcomings, but it's all reactive not proactive. That's why Power threatens Kobeni to try and establish dominance with Himeno and learn about her power, and the only time Himemo is VERY briefly formal is literally showing her hand to choke and force Power to stop by force rather than using informal social motivation. The scene of Aki & Himeno are discussing the rookies juxtaposed with the flashback of their meeting in the graveyard is because it's not JUST that useless people get themselves killed in this job — but also that their commanders have to survive going through the trauma of just watching rookies die because they're not cut out for the work. No matter how tough you are, it gets harder and harder to keep going with that trauma constantly piling up, which is something both Aki & Himeno understand that their underlings don't, because they've never been in that position of authority and responsibility yet. That's a stressor that's specific to the power dynamic of responsibility to everyone else on a team that they're trying to teach them… …which leads back to why Denji & Power both start out learning how to try and handle the loss of a pet who's their only friend in the world as well as their literal dependent. They are its caretaker and if it dies or if they die, they have to be able to manage what those consequences mean for their pet in the event of their survival OR their death. Denji told Pochita to take over his body when he died fighting devils and even said to wait until after being buried so that the mob didn't follow and he could keep living his life. Now Denji's living without Pochita, and (though motivated by titty) intervened to stop Power & Meowy from going through that, even while Power learned the lesson of what that loss was like and how to start to empathize. That brings us back to Makima and all of the "loyal dog of the military" language that gets used when she's reporting to her superiors in Episode 3. This dynamic extends to her subordinates like when she first meets Denji and sets that expectation of only needing a dog that says, "Yes" or "Woof" but she uses it in an endearingly informal way that's also inextricably interlinked into the power dynamic that she has with them — regardless of whether she's using causal language or Keigo. She's constantly pushing that line when interacting with Denji in a way where it makes her own personal motivations impossible to read because they're so inextricably buried in her positional authority. She seems simultaneously manipulative and genuinely affectionate… and it could be either one and the scenes with them would play out exactly the same way. She's doing exactly what Aki & Himeno do, but from the position of being their superior. There's just one final thing. • Sensory information as communication: There are some really subtle details that I just picked up on this time with your reaction. It's about how Makima describes intimacy to Denji and the purpose of what she's doing. There are very particular ways that Makima communicates by emphasizing certain types of sensory information from the moment that they meet. When they first meet in the end of Episode 1 Makima hugs him and she talks about how he doesn't smell like a devil. In Episode 2, that's why she says that Pochita is alive in him both literally and figuratively. This episode she goes over lots of subtle nuances of interaction that are specific to physical touch. She's comparing their hands, and even biting his finger as a way to communicate with him in a way that doesn't involve words, which the sort of sex-driven language Denji is learning to pick up on implicitly, but it also informs how he's starting to understand people differently. There's a growing difference in how he behaves with Power, Himeno, & Makima, but he's slowly forming nuances of understandings about all of them based on what he is learning from his interactions with everyone else. While he's once again totally blinded by the prospect of tongue-kissing Himeno, every time he's ending up knowing more about everyone. That's why I think that Denji's unabashedly simple carnal motivations feel so flatly believable and more realistic than a lot of other protagonists, because they always shape his character in believable ways that make sense implicitly without any necessary explanation. That's why I can't get over how much detail MAPPA puts into portraying that because every frame has just… so much information to geek about for DAYS, and makes me want to keep going back and rewatching the episodes every time we get context and back story, because they always feel a bit different every time. It's why I extra appreciate the opportunity to enjoy your reactions. Hopefully you're feelin' a bit better once ya get through this tl;dr and thanks for sharin' with us!!

Why are the outros sooooo... damn.... good... EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. Just wow, I find myself watching them several times over to catch small things. Wishing you the best today.

LampyLust

Alicia, just because that bullet has a shaft with some veins and a head on the top does not in any way shape or form resemble a peepee smh /s

Chessur

For extra context on how fucked the gun devil is that wasn't shown in the makima scene is that the 1.2 million that are killed are actually from across the globe. The gun devil moved so fast when it appeared that in under 5 minutes it traveled to 10 different countries killing anything in its path.

sapandstars

It's always interesting to hear your industry breakdown of shots. Hope you recover quickly!

Tachyon Fast

I hope you feel better soon!!!

Puige Hanovo

I wanted to say, from how I see it, it's more as if Aki is getting Kon to swallow the camera in the Op, not Power and Denji.

Aethergoggles

I definitely feel like there was heavy imegary there with his name stamp and the trail of red it left as she seduced him into their deal, almost like sighning a deal with the devil. Makima may be mommy but she also sets off all my danger senses.

Dude if that were me I’d shit
