love how the gun devil is treated as like a natural disaster. not a person, not a being, just nature. and the list of names- it all seems so perfect, impactful. seeing aki hayikawas name on that list too, hit hard man. made us realize aki's just another casualty. no different from the other 1.2 million killed

[@Nivekex]

The names are way more impactiful because you see each life the gun devil took as an individual wheter than a number, it wouldn't beas impactful if it was only thw number of deaths

[@classyfellas922]

A million death is a statistics

[@LowIntSpecimen]

aki's name also puts something really depressing into perspective. his entire life, he'd been fighting to eventually find and kill the gun devil, and yet, even if he was never put under makima's control, he would've been killed in an instant.

[@rokairu0-216]

@@Doflaminguard it's first slaughter killed 1,2 million people in 5 minutes. The closest thing to that is a nuclear warhead

[@Nyghtking]

I've never watched, but from what I heard it manifested for maybe 5min total, hit several places for only a couple seconds each, and killed several thousand in each place it landed. To experience it would be like experiencing the end of the world, as each person attacked appeared to be random, you could be completely unharmed but the person you were talking to in front of you is now missing their head. It could cause devastation like how it tore of a street with gun fire, tossed cars and leveled buildings, or it could be so accurate that other then a small bullet hole there would be no damage, as also happened several times. It moved and struck so quickly you might not have even seen it, it's range so great people were being shot from well beyond their visual range, from the other side of their country. It wouldn't matter where you were when it attacked, if you were inside a military bunker it would still have shot you, there was no defense to protect you. It would have been a living nightmare.

[@Doflaminguard]

@@Nyghtking the victims are killed based on their birth months and days so there are lucky people that were not killed.

[@Nyghtking]

@@Doflaminguard Thats why I said "appeared random" because you can bet at the time no one knew what was happening or why people were being killed while others weren't.

I love this. I hope MAPPA takes inspiration from this and Vitotcher's great interprations of how this scene might look animated. The power of seeing the actual text and names of the victims on screen is huge.

[@dynamaticdaniel7308]

This is an amazing production. Admittedly, I feel that re-capturing the true fear the Gun Devil inspires when you see it in action for the first time is very difficult, and so while I did not feel that same dread, the technical prowess, scene design and cinemtography were all top notch. I appreciate this for the fact that it is objectively fantastic

[@lukespacerunner2871]

The visuals, the sound design, the way the gun devil's rampage is portrayed as an event that went from 0 to 100 real fucking quick, it all comes together and the end result is (albeit pretty disturbing) a really well done interpretation of the manga, in my honest opinion, it's not a stretch to call this a 10/10

[@master-oh6zn]

Those names are actually the names of the animators who will die after trying to animate the Gun Devil.

[@FailcopterWes]

The thing that gets me about this whole sequence is how clinical it is. A mass shooting that kills one of the main characters offscreen without a thought is just presented as a second by second account of events, like a police report. There's nothing anyone can do, it's all in the past. And you got that helplessness in here perfectly.

[@Darth_Bateman]

The irony is that despite the horror, brutality, and cataclysmic proportions of the Gun Devil, he can still only be summed up as : "He is one of THE devils of all time!"

[@Ironwolf-pm7zs]

The screen adaptation needs to do this part justice.

[@Vee_Sheep]

i can only hope the actual anime makes the Gun Devil arc even close to this terrifying it's been a pretty solid adaptation so far, and this sequence is still, like... at least 2 seasons away, give or take, idk the exact chapter-to-episode pace they're at this is just one of my favorite manga scenes ever created, and downright scarring, and I hope that Mappa doesn't just suddenly drop the ball past season 1 each 22 minute episode has been near film quality animation, and i hope it stays consistent, i'm pumped to see the Katana Man, Bomb Girl and International Assassins arcs that last one in particular bc I wanna see how they get away with Quanxi's introduction, y'know... literally butt-naked and fucking her Fiend harem and also how they adapt the Darkness Devil bending the manga's page layouts to its whim, and dividing panels with the characters' _severed arms_ they could always go full FLCL (one of Fujimoto's big inspirations for CSM) and make that sequence as a proper motion comic, both to save costs and to give it that extra otherworldly and off-putting feeling, like, "this isn't how this is supposed to look, wtf" gaaah, the anime is so good and there's so much i can't wait to see adapted

Bro this scene is just a masterpiece. Listing every name makes it feel so crazy, it feels like an actual death of a person instead of just a bunch of people. From that- to the intermittent cuts of people just living life, only to get massacred by the gun devil. The true terror of the gun devil is a sight to behold and this animation truly encapsulates the horror of this beast.

[@MwSama]

[@viddythehat]

The Hayakawa Aki at the end... damn. Aki probably had the saddest end in Chainsaw Man. He became what he hated the most. Really awesome vid.

[@homieboi5352]

Everyone always says they're so excited to see this scene animated, and while it's definitely an impactful and well written one, it's so gruesome even compared to other elements of Chainsaw Man. In some ways I don't want to see it animated any more than this rendition. It only showed what it needed to convey the horror and slaughter of the gun devil and didn't overdo it at risk of dulling the message. Enough is left to the imagination to fill in the gaps where more fear exists, and encapsulates an extreme tradgedy that no one should ever have to witness.

I'm thinking the panels of the church could be a reference to the bombing of Nagasaki by America during WW2. The second bombing missed its intended target by a wide margin, the Mitsubishi Shipyards, and instead detonated just 500 meters from the Urakami Cathedral. The Urakami Cathedral was known to be the biggest church in all of Asia at the time, which is rather interesting to note because Christianity was banned for 250+ years in Japan, so the history behind the creation and existence of that Cathedral, along with the Urakami district itself, is fascinating. The Atomic bomb ended up killing over 10,000 Christians in the area.
