Chapter 189: Lack of Emotion
Yuka frowned upon seeing what Denji was thinking.
But... Denji isn't bad, and his appearance is even worse.
Could it be that, due to his childhood experiences, Denji has lacked human emotions? In the manga, Denji analyzed his own heart like this:
"Well, I was quite sad when Pochita died..."
"But Himeno's death..."
"But she was the first person who said she wanted to be my friend... Am I... too ruthless?".
Denji couldn't help but doubt his own cruelty.
He thought again: if he were to think about the death of someone close, how would he feel?
"If Power died, would I cry?".
Denji thought about how he felt when Power died, and then thought, "Ah... I can't cry...".
"And what if it were that guy?". He thought of Aki Hayakawa, who was sobbing. "...That doesn't work either."
Although Denji now sympathized with Aki Hayakawa, and had lived with him all this time, if he thought about it, it seemed he still couldn't cry now that Aki Hayakawa was dead.
"If the dead person is Makima..."
Finally, Denji thought of Makima, whom he had always loved.
But he still came to a conclusion: "If Makima died... maybe I'd be depressed for a while...".
"But after three days, I can live happily as if nothing had happened."
"After all... I can eat and drink three times a day, take a hot bath, and live a heavenly life..."
At that moment, Denji was horrified to discover, "Huh? It's not just my heart that's gone, but my humanity too?"
"So... is this the reason?"
Yuka immediately understood, "Because Denji's heart was replaced by Pochita, but Pochita is a devil, so Denji lost his human emotions?"
This explanation is very reasonable, although, in reality, the brain is the organ responsible for human emotions.
However, in traditional concepts, a person's personality and emotions are related to the heart.
For example, if you praise someone for being kind, you will say they have a kind heart.
Denji lost his original heart, and to save him, Pochita replaced the function of his heart with her own body.
Therefore, it makes sense that Denji has a devil-transformed heart and has therefore lost his human emotions.
The story in the manga continues, and after that, Makima directly organizes Denji and Power's training with Kishibe, and names him captain of the Special Anti-Demon Unit 4.
Kishibe asked three questions about "partners" before showing his face, and gave Denji and Power a "100 points" rating for their answer: "You two value treatment and victory more than partners."
After Makima left, Denji and Power officially began their training.
"End of episode."
"Could it be that Katana and the Snake Woman simply escaped?"
Yuka was still thinking about Katana and the Snake Woman, who killed Himeno and a group of public safety devil hunters.
After all... Katana and the Snake Woman are so hateful! In fact, they killed Senior Himeno and those public safety devil hunters who fought with their lives.
The key is that they are still villains who call themselves Gun Devils.
The Gun Devil is a major villain, so if that's the case, Katana and the Snake Girl are definitely not good people.
So Yuka only hopes to see Katana and the Snake Girl killed to avenge Himeno and the others. But there's no way, this week's series ended, and we can only wait to see the next installment.
Yuka began to read other manga series, like The Gods.
In the latest plot of The Gods, although the protagonist deliberately deflected the gun barrel out of compassion for Loki, one of the fire gods, in the end, the director rose up and killed Loki directly.
This also awakened the other twin fire god, Haru.
He returned to the underground palace, ready to launch Zhurong, the world-destroying word spirit, to create a great disaster and take revenge on humanity.
So the Casal Academy organized a second operation to go to the underground palace and slaughter Haru, the fire god.
And this includes the protagonist Hiroki and... his beloved older sister, Akari!
Yuka also found it quite interesting. It seemed to her that, although it was still a bit behind Chainsaw Man, it was still quite good.
Speaking of which, fans of The Gods have recently been involved in a heated discussion about puzzles, just like the fans of Chainsaw Man.
Chainsaw Man is curious to know who the contracted devil of the female protagonist Makima is, what price she paid, or what kind of story she had with him to reach an agreement.
On the other hand, The Gods is guessing what the true identity of the protagonist is. Could it be Bulli, the ancestor of all gods in the worldview of The Gods? Or could it be Odemubu, created by Bulli and with the same status as him? ...
The serialized plot of Chainsaw Man during this period is not as compact as that of The Gods.
But the debate over Makima's contracted devil is still intense.
At the same time, everyone paid attention to Koji Higashiyama, who was able to defeat the samurai sword and the snake girl Sawatari Akane.
"Wow! It turns out Koji is so powerful. I really didn't expect that."
"I always thought Koji was a drag, but I didn't expect her to have such an ability..."
"You should have known you were so powerful. What are you afraid of if you're so powerful?"
"What devil contracted by Koji? It can make her so powerful!"
"I suddenly feel some support for Koji and Hiroichi Arai, but unfortunately... Hiroichi Arai is also dead."
"Wuwuwuwu, old rogue Silverhand, are you human?! You stabbed the characters like that!"
"Senior Himeno and Aki Hayakawa are really hard to accept..."
"Relax, that's what cyberpsychosis is like. Compared to Edgerunners, this stabbing is already late."
"I said we're adults now and we won't cry over a manga anymore 😎".
"Take off your sunglasses! I told you not to wear them!".
In some slightly calmer comments, the plot of Chainsaw Man continues.
Denji and Power's special training continues, but public safety is also very angry about the actions of Katana and Sawatari Akane, and begins to gather people to prepare to face them.
At the same time, Aki Hayakawa made the Fox Devil very unhappy by letting it swallow the samurai sword.
So the Fox Devil unilaterally canceled the contract with him, and he could no longer summon it.
And with only two years left to live, it was obvious that he could no longer use the power of the Curse Devil Kas.
Therefore, the higher-ups arranged for Aki Hayakawa to sign a contract with a new devil...
