Don't worry you are supposed to feel uncomfortable and it is on purpose since they emphasized Denji's age this episode. It is supposed to show how vulnerable he actually is to manipulation and his desires when he actually still doesn't understand much about a lot of stuff. This scene will mean something.

[@needtau4138]

Same for Rudeus in mushoku tensei

[@maurice9766]

its also to show Makima's manipulation, all of denji's sexual experiences have been negative or mediocre except for the ones with Makima, those have blown his mind

[@kermitthefriggie1802]

It really forces Denji into being more obedient, to Denji she’s the only option left because all his other sexual experiences have been pretty bad or not what he expected while Makima has blown his mind

Reactors a few episodes ago: "damn, this kid's a perv!". Reactors now: "protect this child!".

[@nothingface5919]

This show seems to purposely make every scene where Denji tries to do sexual things uncomfortable instead of fan service, which is VERY uncommon for shounen. The scene with power, his kiss, even him chilling in the bed with wasted ass Himeno. It also shows every one constantly abusing their power dynamic over him. He may have gotten off the streets, but other people are still running his life in super fucked up ways.

[@tellyg47]

So you must have ignore the scenes with him and Makima. It doesn’t make every scene uncomfortable, some sure but not all. Also Power doesn’t have a power dynamic over him… Sure some scenes are uncomfortable but they make every scene how Denji would feel, which is why none of the Makima scenes are as off putting as other scenes.

[@itzelwisteria1819]

This! While I was reading the manga I did feel a bit uncomfortable with the Himeno scene but then moved on pretty quickly and didn't reflect about it until way later. But the anime took it to another level. The music, Denji's confusion and dizziness and Himeno's clear emotional advantage over this 16 year old had me stemming with anxiety for the entire exchange. I think the anime made a good job of conveying it as a human interaction with multiple feelings and motivations involved instead of a quick fanservice (which is the thing I really appreciated about CSM and hoped the anime managed to adapt correctly). imo it only depends on if the viewer understands the situation and doesn't get carried away on the fact that CSM its a shōnen and so "this must be fanservice".

[@liamerasmus8592]

Don't worry about feeling uncomfortable about it because it is supposed to be uncomfortable. A common thread in these episodes is how Denji is used by others for their own gain. Himeno is clearly sexually frustrated because of her feelings for Aki, and her being drunk doesn't help with that at all. Denji needs someone who really loves him.

[@halowaffle25]

People talk about Kobeni's life being constant suffering, but nobody ever talks about just how fucked over Denji is in every possible way. My man literally never catches a single break in the entire series.

[@MrWar2244]

I love how every time Denji achieves his goal so far, it's always not what he was expecting. It can be so hard to watch Denji being taken advantage of though. Throughout these 7 episodes, they've been drip feeding us info on his upbringing or well lack of it. Not only is he young, but honestly he's probably even younger mentally. No education, no friends (except Pochita), no parental figure. Denji's a bit of out of it probably from dehydration+ she gave him alcohol in that kiss. I think it's supposed to be weird. It's like every woman in Denji's life has been manipulating him.

[@runbaa9285]

While none of the character's age aside from Denji, Kobeni, and Arai were ever explicitly said, devil hunters typically start young and die young. Start young as in, straight out of high school (this will get explored in the latter half of Part 1 and in Part 2 of the series). Aki is likely just entering twenty, while Himeno is in her early to mid twenties. Makima is likely around mid to late twenties, thirty at most. Power's actual age is likely very ancient, since she's the Blood Devil. It's just that the corpse she took over was that of a teenager. The obvious age gap of the other cast compared to Denji is deliberate to show how much power everyone else has over his inexperienced and emotionally stunted self. A little fun fact: Fujimoto, the author of Chainsaw Man, has explicitly stated that he's an M and that he likes girls that are mean and talk down to him. But at the same time, he acknowledges just how unhealthy that unbalanced power dynamic is in an actual relationship. And he's showing that message through the character of Denji and how everyone keeps taking advantage of his innocence. Some fantasies should remain in the realm of roleplaying for a reason.

[@tellyg47]

This episode should be called: Denji a 16 year old gets played around with adult women after torturing a devil. Honestly feel bad for Denji, bruh should be going to school learning how to read instead of getting used to kill devils.

[@SebaFlores_]

This is not a spoiler, just a fan theory. Himeno's age, including Aki's, are never revealed in the manga. Himeno is believed to be around 24-28 and Aki 19-23 years of age, which is totally uncomfortable to see this chapter knowing that Denji is approx 16. I like Himeno, how her character is written. But of course what she does is really wrong. Sadly it is a reality that happens sometimes irl :/ I'll be waiting your reaction to the episode 8 the next week! And I hope this ends in the best possible way, without feeling uncomfortable.

Aki's drinking, so he's 20+ Himeno's broken, absolutely mentally broken.

Yeah it’s her hubris, she’s too reckless and open. She wants to live her life without regrets but in doing so she slowly worsens hers. It’s wrong what she did but was drunk and I think it’s more of her personality flaw than a “fan service” moment

[@dajtoad1]

Funny how, after 6 episodes of criticising Denji for being a horn dog and being really immature, you suddenly remember he’s a ‘child’ (well, not under European law, but whatever).

[@takanara7]

In japan at that time you're not legally an adult until age 20, when you can drink. They just lowered it to 18 this year (but you still can't drink until 20)

[@pcrassen4975]

He would still be a child in Europe? 16 is a child. 16 can *consent* in Europe but they are still a minor. Hell. You're not a proper adult at 18 let's be real. You're just legally one but maturity wise and developmentally, you have 7 more years to go.

[@dajtoad1]

@@pcrassen4975 For the purposes of sex, he is not regarded as a child in Europe, either legally or morally. We simply do not have an isue with it. The only sticking point is if the adult is in a position of authority (e.g. teacher). If you think otherwise, that's simply your own point of view, your judgment. Saying otherwise is nonsense anyway, if you think about it. Someone is incapable of making this judgment when they are 17 years and 364 days old yet magically, the next day, they're fine? The line is drawn in a somewhat arbitrary fashion where you think it should go. You can't just say America is right but Europe is wrong and a bunch of people who should be in jail. I live in the UK, and we regard Americans as a bunch of prudes for these purposes. That's why I have a big problem with the occasional reactor or commenter using trigger words for this situation. Americans can vote at 18 and go to adult prison, but they cannot drink. They have their own idiosyncracies.

The fact that Chainsaw is probably the only few shounen anime that actually handles scenes like this and shows everyone how uncomfortable the situation is and addresses it instead of just using it as a joke.

[@michaelmcdoesntexist3845]

Chainsaw Man explores taboo in a way that's meant to be uncomfortable. That's the point. It's careful not to actually fetishize the taboo subject manner, but it constantly gets so close you think it *might* cuz it will go further than you think it would, but then it backs off. I don't mean for that to sound like a spoiler with this scene specifically, but it's something to keep in mind with this series in general. IMO, it's part of what makes Fujimoto such an outstanding author. Hooks you in with zany bloody fantasy violence and uses that to explore very real problems in the world. Already these 7 episodes have at least brought up debt slavery, trauma, coping with death, manipulation, mass violence, betrayal, sex, what it means to have goals, and getting kicked really hard in the balls. And it will continue to explore all these topics in more detail but with nuance and maturity that follows the roughly maturing Denji. Which is gonna be unsteady and seem too fast at times, or not fast enough, cuz that's what growing up is like. It's the true core of what makes Denji relatable, his unsteady growth in the unsteady world around him.

[@kermitthefriggie1802]

All of the fan service in this show has been made to make you uncomfortable or just unamused like with Himeno’s and Power.

Birthdates is a modern phenomenon with a more institutionalized record booking. Everyone before that are rough estimates since child mortality is too high to even bother

[@CrunchyElia]

As someone who is caught up with the CSM manga, I do have to agree with a lot of these comments that the scene is supposed to be uncomfortable, that it's not an idealized sexual fantasy that's supposed to flow accordingly.

[@CrunchyElia]

These characters live in a hellhole of a universe where devils with unfathomable powers roam everywhere, dying is as common as waking up every morning, therefore these characters have multiple levels of trauma that coincidentally combine and transpire into what happened here, and this does not excuse or validate real life grooming because "it was a combination of unfortunate events". Denji is also clearly realizing that his fantasies are not going according to plan which follows the greater overall themes of manipulation, human desire and how your feelings change as you grow older. I do think that, while Fujimoto's writing is extremely controversial and dark, his depictions of "right" and "wrong" are self aware and compelling. That's why I urge you to continue watching.

[@CrunchyElia]

In other words, much like Fujimoto's manga Fire Punch (which is WAY EDGIER), he depicts wildly apocalyptic scenarios that result in flawed human behavior. And Himeno is definitely a flawed character. I see this show through a looking glass rather than wishing I was any of these characters :-)

[@CrunchyElia]

P.S. not to shit on people's taste and/or kinks but this is why I accept Fujimoto's writing but get uncomfortable by lolicon or shotas :-) because THOSE things feel way more like sexual fantasies than THIS but that's besides the point.

I always feel weird when people get so hung up about the ending of this episode. This boy gets brutally murdered and cut to pieces in episode one, then gets an ultimatum to face the literal horrors of the human mind or get killed by the government but sex is the morally weird thing? I guess it is a cultural difference with sex being this big no no in the USA. Obviously I do not mean to say that sex between an adult and a minor is nothing bad but in the context of this show it really is the lowest offender. I just can´t see Denji as this minor that needs to be protected from sex when just at the beginning of this episode he had to jump into a pit of pain, guts and violence for three straight days and the others wanting to kill and sacrifice him to get out. It´s the same concept as military service and alcohol: You can legally enlist and train to professionally kill people and drive engines of destruction like a tank and get send to war but you can´t drink a fucking beer. It´s ridiculous if you ask me.

Oh and it IS a bit weird of Himeno to do what she's doing, she's easily in her mid 20s at least...but that's the point. It's a common point that he's being manipulated by different people to varying degrees (from the yakuza originally to Makima now to Himeno). He's a dumb kid who's even more disconnected from regular 16 year olds because of his childhood, so a big part of the story is him growing and learning.

Yeah, Denji's age is inconsistent, because we can assume by now that devils knew the chainsaw devil before, the eternity devil even said he was way weaker now, this helps understanding episode 1, when pochita was shot when he met Denji, which implies he fought the gun devil and lost, (losing his powers?) Which also means he met Denji 13 years ago. Also, Denji struggles to read, which means he was 7-8 when his life turned for the worst, meaning 13+7-8=20-21.

As they said in the reaction, his mental age is still that of a child

[@badlndss]

I totally understand the discomfort in this scene because of the ages of the characters, but literally 2 episodes ago makima was acting really sexual towards denji and no one said a word LOL if people are going to point out groomers, don't turn a blind eye to your favs and be aware that all of these people are taking advantage of denji

[@diabloeb]

Here's a 130+ IQ idea, why doesn't one of these friends of the fox call her up and offer a price for any info she has on chainsaw? I feel like a lot of em know each other 😁

[@detectivepikachu673]

Asian looks younger than actaul age, you know. As I see it, most people of the first time is usually clumsy. So I believe you need to embrace whatever they do.

[@azmalftw]

Himeno is in her early 20s.. Possibly 21 or 22

[@ninahost7813]

Hey guys, established titles might not be the best sponsorship to have...

[@Agent719]

I dunno. Life expectancy of a devil hunter is only like, a year, so...

[@AussieEmperorReactions]

Lmao, at least she made up for it later in the episode ;). I almost threw up myself watching that.

[@Jepegish]

Don't worry! The episode's whole schtick is to be immensely uncomfortable, if not downright disgusting.

[@wipeoutpulse007]

Love when you guys get uncofortable its funny to see 😂 Expect the unexpected for this series 🔥

[@Yaboi212]

It’s still creepy, and I think it’s supposed to be, but denji is technically age of consent in Japan.

[@natanaru]

He is so out of it from the puke ( because she literally was drinking so much and he swallowed her barf) and she kissed him with booze in her mouth and put it in his mouth. Don't worry tho , you are right to feel uncomfortable. Also himeno is like 5-7 years older than Aki, she is prob around her mid twenties. Aki seems to be in his early twenties ( no official ages from the creator though)

[@vietnguyenquoc9173]

she's older than aki, aki is in his early 20s

[@Alexander-kc8oq]

It’s just as beutifull as I imagined *sniff*

[@zaythalegend2997]

Swear brooo😭🥹🥹

[@chiangmei1265]

no Himeno just above 20 abit, still very young

[@Johury]

I don’t remember exactly where the manga chapters ended but the anime feels like it keeps ending in the middle of a chapter

[@navi7402]

nah this one ended at chapter 21

[@hellospringlake]

This ended exactly where the chapter ended

[@Johury]

Guess my binge reread before part 2 confused me

[@detectivepikachu673]

I hate crimes against child, misogyny and toxic masculinity. Some comments seem too radical and controversial. This anime is not for everyone. I’m a bit concerned some scenes aroused perverts and paedos’s risky desire.

[@ronantheronin3521]

Toxic masculinity isn't real. There are toxic traits some men have, but it doesn't exist for the majority. To insinuate that masculinity is an inherently toxic thing is ironically a very toxic belief to hold. The characters in Chainsaw man are generally terrible people, but they have characteristics that make them likable. I like Himeno as a character a lot, but I know she is not mentally healthy in the slightest and her actions towards Denji are morally disgusting and there is no getting around that.

[@thecanadianfood]

Pretty sure Himeno said she was 20 didn't she?

[@RaNgErs_Rep]

Now the no life dark humor in me like's to joke a d says tuff like damn I wish I was denji but it didint freak me out but I also was uncomfortable

[@nicholasbissessar9777]

Ok coolz, but Yoda must be made Aware.. Vooooomiit, yea noooooooooooo

[@CloudWind0643]

Yooo, just learned we’re the same height nerdy!

[@dotapark]

the thing is that, when you read manga you can just pass the page real quick. So it is more traumatizing 🤢 Also that Himeno part is STILL very controversial among the people who read manga too. I think writer intentionally doing that morally wtf stuff. Like, "you like violent, sex and gross stuff? Can you handle THIS much?" kind of.

[@whiteringpetal4654]

10:35 😳

[@t1ydot]

In Japan, 16 years old is the 18 years old. And 20 years old is the legal drinking age over there

[@mesacboy7939]

16 y/o is still underage in this prefecture. Himeno literally refers to Denji as a minor next episode. Ppl keep tryna excuse this but it is MEANT to be uncomfortable lmao, legally consenting or not she's v clearly taking advantage of him there

[@killingerblue]

Age of consent in Tokyo is 18, so he IS underage. The scene and Denji getting manipulated and used by people based on his mental immaturity is meant to be uncomfortable. It’s a big theme of the series.

[@ciyoduhkriter]

Who cares if it's legal. Doesn't make it moral.

[@andres-kz9ts]

the gulp made it SOOOOO much worse 😂

[@TheOctaviusLee]

God, watching reaction videos to this is a double edged sword, on one hand I love watching everyone else suffer but then I have to hear that "GULP" again and I about threw up on this one. OOF.

[@acook]

half of reactors feels uncomfortable. very interesting
