Chapter 248: Bad Woman
Ren Amamiya has high expectations for the film version of Edgerunners, but according to the current progress, it is estimated that it will take at least one or two years to be released.
Especially the prosthetic transformation and combat scenes, which require a lot of computer-generated special effects.
But these are trivialities. In his previous life, Interstellar was also released during this period, and it also used a lot of computer-generated special effects.
And this has nothing to do with Ren. His current job is a mangaka, not a film production expert.
The manga serialization of Chainsaw Man and Vortex continues, but let's not talk about Vortex, which is more specialized.
And then, the real climax of Chainsaw Man arrives!
Or rather... the beginning of all the tragedies that will follow!
Aki Hayakawa was killed by Denji because he saw his future through the Future Devil.
He felt very restless, but he couldn't tell Denji or Power.
So he went to the hospital and met his old partner, the Angel Devil.
The Angel Devil lost both arms, but he did not die, but he also lost his combat ability.
Aki Hayakawa confessed to the Angel Devil the end he saw through the Future Devil's ability. He was not seeking the Angel Devil's help to change the future.
After all, he knew very well that the future could not be changed.
Simply, after learning that he was dying, he was worried that, as his partner, the Angel Devil would be eliminated after his death.
So he gave the Angel Devil a letter of recommendation with his and Kishibe's evidence.
If he presented it to public safety after his death, the Angel Devil could live forever, as a devil had signed a contract with public safety, just like the Fox Devil and the Future Devil.
After saying this, Aki Hayakawa calmly stood up and said to the Angel Devil, "Tomorrow I will go look for the Gun Devil. This may be the last time I see you...".
"Goodbye."
As soon as he said goodbye, the fans felt that this would probably be Aki Hayakawa's last farewell.
From then on, the Angel Devil would never see him again.
At that moment, the Angel Devil sat up and said, "Wait a moment...".
Aki Hayakawa turned and looked at him in surprise.
"I often... dream of those who died because of me and became my weapons after death."
The Angel Devil said, "They shouted at me in my dreams, how dare you use us as weapons?".
He looked at Aki Hayakawa and continued, "If you die like this, I'm afraid you will also appear in my dream."
"So I want to do everything I can to help you survive."
Aki Hayakawa was a little surprised.
"It seems the Angel Devil has a way to keep him alive!".
Seeing this, Yuka exclaimed with excitement.
After all, they are angel devils. Can't angels save people at will?
However, what the Angel Devil said next was, "Let's go talk to Makima. She might have a way to avoid death."
This surprised Yuka and the fans. In the end, did they go to Makima for help?
And then the scene changed, and Aki Hayakawa and the Angel Devil appeared on the beach.
"Why is Makima on the beach right now?" asked Aki Hayakawa, expressing the fans' doubts.
"I don't know... Or you're not thinking about anything."
The Angel Devil replied, "Or you're thinking about something bad."
At that moment, he said to Aki Hayakawa, "...I have a way to prevent the chainsaw man from killing you."
"Tell me?".
"Resist and run away to a distant place."
The Angel Devil replied, "If the chainsaw man chases you, you can run to the other side of the earth. Anyway, your feet are still there, there's always a way to escape."
What kind of method is this...? Isn't it just running away?
If running away works, why would they come here looking for Makima?
And Aki Hayakawa can't give up everything.
In fact, it's still the same sentence. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of the death of either Denji or Power.
"You're right," said Aki Hayakawa.
"I'm not kidding."
The Angel Devil turned and said, "I'm serious."
"You're different from me, you can go anywhere else."
"It's not bad to do a normal job and live like a normal person."
However, Aki Hayakawa refused and said, "Forget it... Denji and Power are still here...".
"...And Makima?".
"Makima?".
The Angel Devil, a little confused, said, "Ah... I remember now, it seems you like Makima?".
"I guess so."
Aki Hayakawa replied ambiguously.
It seemed that even he wasn't sure if he liked Makima.
"Why do you like her?".
The Angel Devil asked again.
Yes... Why does Aki Hayakawa like Makima?
This is a question that all manga fans have always wanted to answer. In Himeno's chapter, you can clearly feel that Aki Hayakawa and Himeno are a couple.
Whether it's because of the memories or the relationship between the two, it's clear that they are in love.
However, everyone has always believed that there is a deep history between Aki Hayakawa and Makima, which has led to Aki Hayakawa's love for Makima.
But for so long, the story between Aki Hayakawa and Makima has not been revealed.
The angel and the devil asked this again, so they were also curious.
The next thing was that Aki Hayakawa told the story of him and Makima in the past.
However...
"Why?" replied Aki Hayakawa.
At that moment, they saw Makima on the beach.
Aki Hayakawa greeted Makima, who was wearing casual clothes and had a sexy figure.
I must say that Makima's figure... is really attractive.
But as Aki Hayakawa greeted her, he thought in his heart, 'Why are you here...?'.
"Doesn't even Aki Hayakawa know why he likes Makima?".
Fan Siwei was a little suspicious upon seeing this.
How come he doesn't even know why he likes Makima...?
It seems there is an unusual reason.
"Why is Makima here?" asked Aki Hayakawa. "Tomorrow is such an important moment...".
"I thought it was time to go back, so I waited here," said Makima strangely.
"Waiting for us?".
"Not you."
Makima turned and asked, "And you? Is there something?".
Aki Hayakawa was silent for a while and then said, "The Future Devil told me... that my death is approaching."
Makima looked at him, and Aki Hayakawa was silent again, but in the end, he seemed to have made a decision.
"I hope Denji and Power...".
"Yes..."
"Live happily..." said Aki Hayakawa as tears clouded his eyes.
But these words made the fans cry.
"The angel brought him here so he could live alone."
Yuka couldn't hold back her tears and choked up a bit, "But he said he wanted Denji and Power to live happily... oooooo...".
Will such a kind and popular character die later? The fans can't accept it! Aki Hayakawa shed tears and said to Makima, "My brother died because of me. This time I hope to do something for them with my power...".
"Makima..." he said firmly, with tears in his eyes, "No matter what kind of contract I sign with any devil... I can...".
"I want to obtain power!".
Makima looked at him calmly, while the angel and the devil lowered their heads in silence.
At that moment, Makima shouted, "Aki!".
Then she said something shocking, "In that case, sign a contract with me."
As soon as she said this, the fans were confused.
What...? Sign a contract with Makima? What does this mean? Sign a contract with humans?
Or...
As the fans continued to watch in disbelief, Makima continued, "Give me everything you have and I will give you power."
"What..."
Aki Hayakawa was also surprised and said in disbelief, "What are you talking about?".
However, Makima said, "Aki, this is an order...".
"Sign a contract with me."
Makima's yellow pupils, composed of small rings and like a vortex, appeared on the screen.
As soon as she saw this vortex-shaped pupil, Yuka felt bad.
How... It's a vortex again...
I almost forgot that Makima, the female protagonist of Chainsaw Man, also had that strange vortex-shaped pupil.
So, what does Makima mean by this?
At that moment, the image changed to the memories of the angels and devils.
He completely remembered that he once lived in a village on an island.
Everyone was very kind to him as a devil, and he met someone they both appreciated.
But at that moment, Makima appeared.
"Hey..." Makima waved at him.
"Who are you...?" asked the Angel Devil.
"I say..." said Makima, "Can you show me your power?".
The Angel Devil hesitated, knowing how terrible it was.
"No, my power will bring death."
The Angel Devil refused.
However, Makima looked at him calmly and said, "Show me your power, it's an order."
Then, the Angel Devil in the memory turned into a devil, and after a few scenes, the sky changed from day to night.
On the beach next to the Angel Devil, except for Makima, all the villagers fell lifeless.
The Angel Devil was holding the hand of the person he liked at that moment.
And it was said in the manga that if the Angel Devil touched others, he would take their lives.
It was... the Angel Devil killed everyone in the village, including the girl he liked! No, it was Makima! Makima used her special ability to manipulate the angels and devils and kill all the innocent villagers.
"Huh?!".
All the manga fans who saw this were stunned.
Isn't Makima... the female protagonist? How can she directly manipulate angels and devils to kill so many innocent people?
And she just wants to see the angels and devils demonstrate their power? Let the angels and devils kill everyone in the village? Obviously, this is something only villains can do! All the manga fans who saw this were stunned.
Did you tell me this was the female protagonist?
"Bad... bad woman!"
When Fan Siwei saw this, he suddenly understood something and said, "This is not the female protagonist! She is a bad woman!".
But who would have thought that Makima, who was undoubtedly the female protagonist in the previous scenes and ambiguous plots, was actually a villain? The scene returns to the current scene of Makima and Aki Hayakawa.
In Aki Hayakawa's increasingly dilated pupils, he said it with Makima's intriguing smile and the stunned eyes of angels and devils...
"Yes, I want to."
A voiceover appeared next to her, "An inviolable contract!".
And then...
"End of episode."
The plot of this episode was completely explosive, shocking the fans again.
They thought the plot of the previous episode was already explosive enough, but they didn't expect this episode to still be so unexpected and explosive.
Everyone guessed a lot of information from this episode's.
They debated and sent crazy comments on the official posts and forums.
"What kind of plot is this?! My God! I really didn't expect the plot to end like this!".
"Makima is not the female protagonist, but the villain!".
"I can't believe it... I can't believe it at all. Is he a cyberpsycho? His brain circuit is not only different from ordinary people, it's even more complex than the damn Tokyo overpass!".
"Wow, this manga is just a sample of bad women! Santa Claus and Makima are bad women, and good women don't live long!".
"You know what? It really is like that."
"I'd like to say that in this manga, the good women are dead, and only the bad women can live."
"Makima's true identity is a devil! It should be a confirmed fact! She even asked Aki Hayakawa to sign a contract! She is undoubtedly a devil!".
"So... a brother had already guessed she was a dominant devil, and he was right!".
"Everything has an explanation. There is no heartwarming love story between Aki Hayakawa and Makima. Instead, Aki Hayakawa is dominated by her."
"Wuuuu, Makima, bad woman! Without her, Aki would have liked Senior Himeno."
"It seems Makima has taken Aki Hayakawa's love for Himeno and controlled her... My God! If this is true, I'll be so angry..."
"My God... won't the bad woman control Aki Hayakawa to kill Denji, and then Denji will be forced to kill him in self-defense?"
"No... And why did the bad woman want Aki Hayakawa to kill Denji? And what about Power? How did Denji kill Power?"
"I guess they were manipulated again... But it makes no sense for Makima to kill Denji..."
"Don't do this, wuwuwuwu, bad woman, don't do this, don't let Aki and Denji kill each other."
"I'm so depressed it hurts my liver to see it."
...
The plot of this episode of Chainsaw Man has started to generate great debates among manga fans, and at the same time, people are eagerly awaiting the next plot...
How unexpected and unsatisfactory will it be!
