The fact the gun devil had a bigger range when killing children is so messed up because we fear children dieing in gun violence than adults.

[@vide0gameCaster]

Shit! You made me realize that and now this devil is even more hunting..

[@FreedomAssassin64]

That's.... dark.....

[@katsukibakugou7878]

You're totally right. Since we normally fear more children dying in gun violence than probably any other living being, it's *exactly* his strongest point (his current longest range) He truly lived to the fear he represents: Truly a gun devil.

This video is flat out S C A R Y. The choice of music, the cuts, the font against a simple black background, paired with how coldly scientific the event is described in the manga, like written on a military report, is just bone chilling. I think this scene will actually be worse when animated. This video absolutely elevated the manga in my opinion and made that chapter even scarier. Edit: the lyrical singing in the song is also so haunting it gives me goosebumps.

[@jackmayor3574]

I mean this chapter showed that the only real way to stop the Gun Devil is to face it off against something even MORE monstrous and terrifying, Makima. (And keep in mind this was only 20% of the Gun Devil's true strength here)

[@3takoyakis]

Makima conversation was like: "Gun devil? Its already been defeated. Every countries have certain percentage of its body.

Fun fact: the gun Devil spared those who were born in April, July and October during his carnage. The numbers 4, 7 and 10 ( the numbers of these months in the calendary ) are, in Japanese, Shi, nana, and juu. Shina nai, means don't/won't die, depending on the context. Ju, means gun.

[@letsbakemistakes]

1997 was the year of a major school shooting in Kentucky. It wasn't the first school shooting in the states, but it was notable because the perpetrator killed three and injured five students while they were in a prayer circle. I think (based on old information I'd read years ago that I can't find now), this was one of the "inspirations" for the Columbine shooting a couple of years later which became more popularly documented as a "major school shooting" when Americans talk about it. When the shooter of the 1997 Kentucky attack surrendered and dropped his weapons, he said "Kill me, please. I can't believe I did that." The chosen date of September 12th obviously brings to mind September 11th, which makes sense with one of the deep-set themes of CSM being the global "War on Terrorism" that expanded beyond the realm of American politics and experiences. It makes sense too with the positioning of Makima as Japan's "answer" to that violence. All of this is crazy impressive and more evidence of how much thought went into this series about a dude who's head turns into a chainsaw. I love it lol.

[@mush6681]

Its also funny how the CONTROL devil beats the gun, after all you or someone else controls the gun itself, as a gun is a tool to be used

[@jackmayor3574]

Fujimoto is a japanese citizen, I doubt he's even aware of a specific American 1997 school shooting. Is he aware of school shootings in Ameria in General? Of course he does. But he didn't choose 1997 for the reason you're suggesting.

[@letsbakemistakes]

​@@jackmayor3574 (ugh i had a good reply here but I accidentally clicked off of this sidebar and lost it so please enjoy this more rushed and less good response) I used to have a teacher who'd say the only question you really need when weighing the value of different literary analysis is "Does this add anything to the understanding of the text?" if the answer is "no", this means more than the direct intention of the author. I think you're also downplaying the importance of this subject to Fujimoto. Its a deliberate move on his part to have the US president barter with the life expectancy of the American population for the "aid" of the Gun Devil. My friend and I actually looked this up and did the math after reading that panel - mass shooting violence in the united states reduces the average American life expectancy by almost exactly 100 days. Weird and awful little factoid! And even if that doesn't directly line up with the "one year" that is put into the deal, that adds context for how USAmericans will read this scene and what they bring to it.

[@crackers5422]

​@@jackmayor3574the fact they were in a prayer circle and there is a church scene in this chapter, I would not be surprised if Fujimoto did this on purpose.

I think the scariest thing about the Gun Devil isn’t so much the scope of destruction it causes, but how extremely specific and almost premeditated it seems. It’s abilities have seemingly random but highly specific conditions and targets in mind. It’s not just some random force of uncaring, destructive nature. It’s a genocidal hitman with an individual assassination plan for everything in its wake. The fact it can kill so quickly on such a large scale, but so precisely makes it so much more terrifying to me than almost anything else in fiction.

[@yaqinmalul1364]

Fun fact : this was weaknest gun devil only use20% his power Gun devil was being killed first by mystery person and this one you watch is revived version after contract with USA

[@cannibalman8175]

Something that WANTS to kill you is so much more scarier than something that just happened to. Imagine being deep underwater, you see a giant sea monster that's big enough to swallow several towns in one go. It's moving in your direction, you try to swim away but are obviously engulfed in it's enormous mouth. Now, imagine this same beast, you try to swim away and notice it's massive eyes following you.

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

In the beginning of the story, you're supposed to fear the Gun Devil itself, but later you learn it's whoever's wielding it that should be feared, just like guns in real life. Fujimoto is a genius.

[@-butterfly-594]

I interpreted it as both. We have two things to fear: the immense power and violence of the Gun Devil (or rather, guns themselves), and the people who will weaponize it. Guns are not particularly scary if you ignore the human factor, but given to a person, who suddenly has the power to end another's life, guns become scary. Humans are not particularly scary if they aren't given power, but when they're armed with tools to annihilate whoever they choose, human nature becomes scary.

Doesn't make any sense, you still fear a Gun devil, he killed all these people for no reason. His objective was only to kill Makima So no, you are absolutely wrong

The fact that this isn't even the Gun Devil's full form is insane. Its already incredibly horrifying and ridiculously fast. I understand we got the Gun Devil Fiend form. I read the entirety of part 1. But imagine a full body Gun Devil. How would you even go about fighting that? Chills man. Makima is the most terrifying entity in Chainsaw man. This thing is second. I'm sure some would disagree but that's my story I'm sticking to it.

[@Iiveichibanreaction]

He still got bodied in hell though

[@newguy8288]

In terms of how coldly methodical and terrifyingly calculating Makima is top tier, But in terms of sheer destruction and death of others the Gun Devil has the edge in my opinion, just the fact his abilities are SO specific like the functions of a tool yet deliver such chaotic destruction to the point the exceptions/specifics barely even matter in just his 20% form is truly a horrifying delight. It just makes me wonder what in the fuck mutilated it’s body originally, now that is a cold thought

[@rianmela3825]

​@@newguy8288 I like to think one of the primal fear devils came from hell to stop the gun devil's superiority complex. Or a legit theory that I have is that it was the original chainsaw devil that attacked it. The OG chainsaw devil was seemingly incredibly feared and powerful so it's not far fetches that it could possibly defeat the gun devil at 100%. It would also make sense as to why the OG chainsaw devil devolved into Pochita: sure it may have defeated the gun devi, but what if it was a very tough fight and the chainsaw devil ended up barely making it out aliv, deforming into Pochita? It makes sense, since I feel like any devil stronger than gun devil would kill chainsaw devil fully, but anything weaker than gun devil probably wouldn't give the chainsaw devil THAT hard of a time.

Dude… this is so perfect… and you’re one of the only people who could match a song so brutally perfect with a scene from Chainsaw Man. Like this gave me genuine chills, it’s so terrifyingly beautiful, soooo good job man… I to this day still think that there’s so many songs from Clowncore’s Van album that fit Chainsaw Man, like “Tears of God” paired with Reze telling Denji she wants to run away with him, then it shifts to “Keyboard” when it’s revealed she BIT HIS TONGUE OFF. “Existence” (with just a bit of editing) is a great song pared with Beam and Denji vs Typhoon devil, like they’re just acting like idiots until they BOLT to Reze and Typhoon. Then they fight. The ending I always have a reverb effect in my head to show how she just cuts the music to a halt when she blasts Denji and Beam down. I don’t know if you’re reading this… but all I’m gonna ask, is PLEASE do more of these, you obviously get how to pair editing and pacing with music to make a perfect scene :)

[@bufu5063]

Have heard the songs and you’re right it will fit pretty well because that is like the typical scene from a high schooler romance movie we’re they confess there feelings for each other and end up in a kiss but then it just come back to the reality they live in and turning the music as they show us that she literally bites his tongue off.
