[@laxusdreyar7838]

Fiends are when devils take possession of a dead body and the devil is in control of the body. While Denji is in control as Pochita gave him his heart. This is why Makima said that Denji's condition is unprecedented, as no devil had given control to the original owner of the body after possesing them.

ngl, the "I can put up with crazy if she's hot enough" line shows Denji's inexperience more than the obsession over boobs.

[@KurNorock]

Don't act like you aren't the same way. EVERY woman is some level of crazy and the amount of crazy you are willing to tolerate is directly proportional to how hot she is, which is why the hottest girls are also the craziest girls. Because they can be.

[@hittkid6312]

Denji needing to find a goal is actually pretty sad now that I'm thinking about it. He grew up essentially throwing away any sort of goal or dreams for his future since he never knew if he will live long enough to be free of his father's debt. It's like for him why bother thinking about the future if it's something he will never see anyways, just focus on survival instead. So now that he is suddenly free of his debt and isn't solely thinking about survival he is slowly desiring the things he never had, however, being the inexperienced teenage(?) boy deprived of any human connection he let his hormones rule his head for now.

[@ayoayo1044]

22:10 that's correct. The body that power has wasn't originally hers she took it over after the original owner died. When Makima said she had more rationality she meant the Power doesn't just go wild and attack people randomly like other fiends and devils. Fiends are 100% devil with human bodies. Denji is a human with a devil inside of him.

[@0marelizondo550]

Hahaha i love how everyone think she is going to kill the cat when she asked for something to kill.

[@stewart1555]

"I am into the Denji type"... does that mean the submissive type? The opening makes sense when it comes to those two. POWER😍 and her hysterical laugh though.

Power’s laugh is MAGNIFICENT

[@stewart1555]

@ Yeah it is. It's crazy and so she, but in a fun way.

[@BabyClap]

So from what I can gather, Fiends are a devil that fully possess/take over a human’s body. Denji’s not a Fiend because the devil inside him doesn’t control his body/will

[@aritrihore8198]

When Morgan said 'Ball fight' my mind immediately went somewhere else :)

[@thatdoommarine7748]

😢

[@chelronin7843]

Some people explained it but heres the information given so far about devils, fiends, etc: A devil is a monster looking creature. We saw the tomato devil, the zombie devil, the cucumber devil in this episode, and pochita was the chainsaw devil. They’re usually monsters that look grotesque in some way, except our buddy Pochita ofc. Fiends are human corpses possessed by a devil. We can assume they do this because they died or are dying, or their bodies are weakened in some way (like how Pochita is a little puppy). In this case, the human is completely dead and gone, its just the devil. They also look human, and they said they have “characteristic heads”. In the case of Power, she has horns. This is what Denji asked Pochita to do to his body when he died. And now Denji, Denji is special because he has full control over himself. Hes part human and devil. He’s basically just a human who can fully use a devils power.

Makima, Denji, and Aki voice actors are all new, so you more than likely never heard them before. I think this was a very cool decision for Mappa to make.

[@AwangKhairunnas]

Denji is different from other protagonists. He is a teenage boy going through puberty and because he's been constantly fighting for his life, he hasn't got the chance to experience intimacy. So his goal is to "score" one on a chick and not be the hokage or wizard king or kill the devil inside him lol. I guess to some 14 year old kid out there might find Denji's goal relatable(?) lmfao

[@rottenbutter360]

I'd say it's like a cross between getting hit in the stomach and slamming your funny bone.

[@daystyrfer7887]

Fiends are devils who have taken over human corpses, they aren’t human anymore. Even tho Pochita revived Denji from the dead, Denji is different in that he still has his personality, which is why he is considered special.

[@fats2010]

spy x family also has the blond/pink/dark hair character trio! Also kaguya sama if you count chika, kaguya and miyuki as a trio

I believe the main trio in Fairy Tale are also pink, blond, black hair. Or I might be misremembering how much the ice guy is with them at the beginning of the story.

It's 'if I had a nickel for every time X happened, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice'. Credit to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, of course.

[@sarafontanini7051]

denji's a unique case. far as they know he's the ONLY one they know of that's LIKE him, hence "there is no name for it". Power, like all fiends, is a corpse being puppeted around by a devil. ALL Fiends are like this, they are ALL dead bodies piloted by devils, like little fleshsuits :3 the fiend Denji killed looked different cause...it was a different devil. Different devils mean the fiends looks diffrent, jsut like all devils don't look alike in their 'real' forms. it isn't that complicated.

[@SAKURA-Times]

Episode 2 was fun too. In Japanese, Power-chan talks like a samurai lol.

[@TomKilworth]

13:10 Regarding Aki’s reaction to Denji: the word for “hug” in Japanese (抱く / daku) also means “sleep with”. Aki misunderstood haha

[@Traigu]

Powers’ hair is actually Blonde, but certain lighting makes it look pink

[@bubbletea7029]

In the wiki it says Strawberry blonde

[@azmalftw]

Zombie devil or tomato devil are just devils. Fiends are when a devil takes over a dead human body, power is a fiend because a devil took over her dead corpse. The personality of power is that of the devil, not the girl that has the body. Denji is not a fiend because pochita didn't take over denji's personality, denji still has his own personality which is why makima said denji is special.

Something noteworthy you should keep in mind, which the story doesnt explain super well aside from a few clues, Chainsawman actually takes places in the 80s-90s, so things like the Internet weren't available or as accessible as they are now, you'll also only see old TVs and Telephones for example.

[@colebailey2578]

Here's why getting hit in the nuts hurts so much: it's literally getting an almost direct attack on your organs. That's what they are, internal organs that are only protected by a THIN layer of skin. Do you have any idea how much a target your heart would be, if it was given the same minimal protection?

[@lazydaze6]

Fiends are made when a devil posseses a human corpse (THE HUMAN IS ALREADY DEAD) amd the devil is the one in control. Denji is a special case. He is something that doesn't even have a name

[@JaiGalz]

Gotta say I love the editing on these reactions they are hilarious.

[@clashcitycretin10]

Devils are the embodiment of something that people fear Fiends are when devils jump into corpses. The human personality is completely erased when that happens. Deji is an exception because a devil jumped into his corpse and let Dennis stay in the driver's seat.

[@rev3rze572]

Fiends are born when a Devil inhabits and possess a dead body/corpse and thus a Fiend's thoughts and personality is controlled by the Devil because the person is already dead. Its also why a Fiend has characteristic features on the head thay resembles the Devil that inhabited the body. Denji is of a different, incredibly rare case. He's whats considered a hybrid. Hybrids are born when a Devil willingly lives inside a human, this inturn lets the original owner of the body be the one to take control and access the powers of the Devil associated with them, as stated by Makima with "The scent of both a human and a devil."

[@azmalftw]

Denji and power are the same age of 16. Aki is 19 or so and makima is an adult 20+

How it feels? Well you basically imagine the most sever pain like something hit your funny bone hard in the worst spot but now up that because consider that its a bundle of nerves with no cushion or protection so its quite literally the most intense pain your brain is able to comprehend and your muscles also contort in your lower stomach as your body tries to find a way to address the sudden injury that occurred but it just can't.
