I actually thought this video was literally going to discuss Pochita/Denji’s heart.

one of the best the i liked about chinesaw man is that denji basicly was always nihilistic, all he cared about was pochita his only campanion. but as the story prograss denji realized what life can offer and became much more attached to it (refering to chapter 93). even after literally being broken emotionally and physically by his "savior", he still attached to life.

I think one of Fujimoto's hidden strengths is how he shows intimacy through gross-out humor of all things. Helping each other throw up, getting mad at each other over clogging the toilet, or my personal favorite, Denji and Nayuta's fart chart. It shows a more hidden side of people's relationships that's usually shied away from or used for a quick laugh and just as quickly forgotten.

This is an absolutely brilliant digest of Fujimoto, his work and the theme he wants to portray in each story. You nailed it!

Yes I loved watching

Is it fucked up that I read Chainsaw Man as a comedy at first? Like, I (for some reason) went into this manga feeling like the story was rather light hearted and ridiculous. It wasn't until the second time I read it that I realized how dark and horrifying it is. The main characters drop like flies. Volume after volume, people are either dying, or they quit the force, or they lose a limb. And the story just keeps trotting along. It wasn't until the gun...ya know, the GUN...that I realized "oh shit, I need to take this story seriously." Idk, I think part of it is the black and white of the uncolored manga really obscures a lot if the violence and gore. I also feel like I might have read too quickly at first. I can't wait to see this animated. I can already tell, the tone of this whole story is going to be way different than how it played out in my mind the first time I read it.

You’ve opened my eyes, going to read through all of Fujimoto’s catalog now.

I, for one, have always seen the “not so gruesome” and “wholesome” parts in Fujimoto’s work. The end of Chainsaw Man where Denji finds the solution to just give lots and lots of hugs to the Control Devil. Or the idea of Fire Punch being to actually never give up and get up each time you feel like you are down. I think this is what Fujimoto intended to give to the world. Not necessarily only violent stuff and all of that, since behind all these he gives us all an important lesson to learn from. I say his focus sometimes is to just show us the good parts in a world full of misery. And that is amazing!

for me the strongest aspect of chainsaw man is its depiction of growth. like denji speedrunning adolescence meaning of life and finding happiness till finally coming to terms with your own past and moving forward to the future all in just 90 or so chapters. its a literal rollercoaster of a ride and im all for it.

"Deus ex Makima" Mind literally blown because that's makes so much sense in so many levels.

Nayuta of the prophecy is my alltime favorite oneshot from this author. Sweet, funny, bittersweet and just plain heartfelt

@Bamkuhen

2 жыл бұрын

i just learn about that oneshot sform this video and then i realize that nayuta is almost the same as nayuta in chainsawman. and the eyes tho.

What was behind Fujimoto's works was not twisted mind. It was a beautiful and sincere heart.

Couldn't be said any better. It seems that a lot of people didn't get that Chainsaw man is Drama in it's core and not shonen battle manga

I always thought that Fire Punch is about choice and identity, because during the whole story Agni wasn't sure who he really was, and Togata used it as her tools. But idea of struggling from depression makes sense too. By the way, amazing work, dude. Sorry for my language

Amazing analysis. I love the connection you showed throughout all of his stories - I would get irritated when people say things like chainsaw man relies to heavily on shock value.

it was so cool reading fujimoto's exploration of gender dysphoria (even if the one shot was a bit ehh at times with it but still very cool) cause it's a concept i never see explored in manga or atleast i haven't come across, and the few other times i have seen it it was really mishandled. props to fujimoto the mad lad

Yeah, you can tell it's definitely from the perspective of someone who doesn't really know what it's like, but importantly, he is still trying to convey it to others in a respectful manner, and I appreciate it hugely.

My lazy ass had been avoiding this video for a bit, I struggle to really sit down and just watch commentary videos sometimes but wow. I was reminded why your videos are so good. Kept me roped in the entire time, on the edge of my seat. It was really fascinating to hear more about Fujimoto's previous works and I think you did a splendid job showcasing what makes Fujimoto's works, his works. Now I'm able to understand a bit easier why Chainsaw Man and Look Back resonates so much with me. Pretty dang awesome

I'm really excited to hear the music for chainsaw man once the anime comes out.

Absolutely stunning video! I too went on a similar journey after finishing Chainsaw Man With no exaggeration whatsoever Fujimoto has become my favorite mangaka of all time and I'm so excited for his future one-shots!

Touching boobs is not just "he has NO reason to live, so he lives on trying to achieve that", cuz if you pay attention, the moment he decides he wants that, it is exactly when he finds out he can live. Now that he can live, he can have the liberty to choose a goal, so he chooses he wants to try to touch boobs

Jesus how are you so underrated, I enjoyed every second of this, looking forward to your next video

The ‘drama behind horror’ is why I love Chainsaw Man, as well as the Thing…both may be violent, but the characters REALLY make it next level.

This is easely the best video about Chainsawman and Fujimoto's work ive seen to date. I readed Chainsawman the first time quite quickly but, everytime i return to it, i discover new layers of great character depth and so much meaning, and you really sumarize everything so fine. Great video, keep it up

This video came out one year ago today and coincidentally on my birthday. Now having lived through the last year I can say that this video helped me realize what it was that I loved so much about fujimotos works. This video was here for me through some of my darkest times this last year. Although I know it sounds stupid I consider this video as a birthday gift for me. Now would that be considered selfish? Maybe, but this video has had so much impact on my life this past year and the fact that it came out on my birthday, about one of my favorite authors really stuck with me. Now being 18 I'm really happy I got to live through this last year regardless of how much good and bad things happened. So thank you Kyle Robes this video has done so much more for me than you can imagine

we have been bestowed again with another upload. See you guys in a few months

This video just gave me so many "light bulb" moments with the foreshadowing and symbolism that chainsaw man has to offer. I kidd you not, every time I go back to reread the manga or get more analysis on the series theres always more to uncover with csm. This video was a joy to watch and theorize about. I love how csm may seem "shallow" on the surface for some, but really it's an endless pit of so many things to uncover that makes the story even more enjoyable. Honestly we can just talk and analyse Denji endlessly with his emotional state, motives (or sometimes lack of) and overall behaviors throughout the story cuase there's honestly so much to delve into. And the plot alone exemplies a lot about his character and the world even more so as we progress through the story. Makes it even MORE enjoyable knowing that all of this was always planned carefully from the start by Fujimoto.

prob my most favorite csm video now. i knew there was something deeper to csm other than its violence and absurdity, cos it made me feel intense emotions. im very glad the emotions that were being conveyed reached to me. this made me wanna read all his one shots now,, i realized how much i love fujimoto's way of writing (well i love melodrama as well so yeah)

I love all of Fujimoto's work SO MUCH but I could never express what it was that made it so special as well as you did in this video, I literally spend the last third part of the video crying like a child... I'm almost 30 and discovered Fujimoto around 2 years ago, and he quickly became my favorite mangaka of all time, I really hope mappa can portrait the heart of chainsaw man into their adaptation so more people can discover this incredible author I love so much.

I feel like saying this is amazing is kind of stating the obvious, but I will anyway. The emotional impacts of Chainsaw Man were always my favourite parts, probably cuz I had some of the shock spoiled but the point remains. Would love to see a spoiler-ry video in future that goes in depth but at this point I'll watch just about anything you put out. Looking forward to the next one!

I’m 90% of the way through reading Chainsaw Man, and I don’t know what you’re referring to when you say “emotional impacts.” Death is never treated as a serious event in CM. Countless civilians die throughout the manga. Fallen devil hunters like Himeno, Aki, and Angel are forgotten about almost instantly. Denji doesn’t react when Power is murdered in front of his eyes. Everyone goes about their normal lives even though thousands of people are murdered by devils every day. I simply can’t find any “emotional impacts.” The story feels like a Fever Dream. I don’t understand why so many people use the word “brilliant” when discussing it.

Thank you SO much for this treat of a video, I felt comfort while going through it.

This is such a well made video. I didn't know I could consider an analysis video a work of art. It also made me want to read all of Fujimoto's past works.

man only makes bangers

I really hope that this video would get more attention once the anime of chainsaw man finishes, so that the people who haven't read the manga could appreciate such a great analysis.

this is a crazy good video- seriously. i just finished chainsaw man yesterday, and it's left me with so many thoughts. the main theme i felt thought csm was how it portrays humanity and what it is to be human... which isnt what you'd expect from a story litteraly about devils and inanimate object. all the characters felt emotions so deeply, therefore making me feel with them. of course everything is subjective, but to me really i felt that denjis motivation was living, opposed to surviving. making connections with people, enjoying the little things and honestly just experiencing what it's like to be a human. trying not to spoil anything- even though he is chainsaw man, he wins in the end through being denji, a human, not a chainsaw. hearing about how all of the authors past works focus on human emotions really makes me feel and comprehend everything so much more.

Damn. This was eye opening.

yooo what amazing video essay ,really loved the points you made ,the research you did and the music you used was very heart felt and inspiring and I really enjoyed this video

Your audio engineering on this is top notch. Keep em coming.

Recently I’ve been watching a lot of video essays and ordering the ones I liked the most in a playlist and I’m proud to report that this one definitely made the list. You did a great job contextualizing the works of Fujimoto and relating them back to the author. I’m shocked this has less than 100k views, your voice and delivery kept me hooked and the half hour length went by unexpectedly quickly, excellent work!

I love how every youtuber who makes a video about fujimoto/csm does the same thing. They analyze every single one of his works and realize that the his stories are all about emotions and life, told in the most absurd ways.

i found your channel through your reigen video and oh my god im so glad i did!! i cant even imagine the time, effort and care put into these, but i appreciate it so much, i can't wait to see what you'll make next! also i have to go read all of fujimoto's other works right now they all sound so intriguing.

Absolutely fantastic video. Your content is seriously some on the best in the anime KZread space. Always look forward to your videos.

Coming back to this phenomenal video after reading Goodbye, Eri.

Another amazing video! You honestly have my favorite video analysis's on the platform! Keep up the great work!

I think that these works are beautiful ways of Fujimoto manipulating the world around him, and that violence is used to drive home the theme of absurdity. Absurdity is used by him to convey basic universal understanding in his themes. By this I mean that he uses extremely negative, confusing, positive, and quickly connected emotional impetus to make his readers see something closer to the meat and bones of what he is trying to say in his story. It’s cool because in this way the author is practicing a sort of communication by association, where he doesn’t have to say something specifically to drive a point home. Like how in chainsaw man where there are these absurd moments such as when Denji pulls a flower out of his throat and impresses a girl that make you instantly relate to a feeling of being a teenager in that situation. It’s cool, and maybe I’m reading a bit into it but I like this guy’s work!

this was the best chainsawman video. phenomenal work

The more you think about Chainsawman, the deeper the story gets. Great video dude! The melodrama revelation fits so well

I actually never thought about Chainsaw man and his author like this before. Extremly good video dude!

this video made me feel raw emotions...thank you

I was watching the first ep of CSM when it released and my mother entered the room during Denji tearing up the zombies. The first thing she said was "Ew, why would anyone watch this?" without having seen any of what Denji went through as a person up to that point. It really shows how the violence of CSM isn't the main thing about it, it isn't violent for the sake of violence as Kyle said.

there can be no true terror without a touch of hope and laughter

This just shows how genius Chainsaw man is and what makes it all so good. I really hope it becomes the next big thing for 2022

This essay is outstanding among most video essays. Your points are fresh, your take original, your presentation slick... Some of the best I have seen in KZread in a long time. Great work!

goes to show how chainsaw man is so much more than its gore and insanity. its very emotional, very real and sincere.

this has been the best analysis of the manga i’ve seen by far after months of rereading and watching videos. great work dude u put a lot of what i didn’t know how to say into words

Oh shit, that one-shot is not something I was expecting... I'm going to have to look it up

First of, great video and I appreciate the effort you put into this video. Being already familiar with all of Fujis works long before CSM started I already knew what to expect of his storytelling from Chapter 1. I disagree with a few points in this video, but overall it's a good PSA to make people aware that CSM/Fire Punch aren't just hyperviolent, absurd haha funny rides. Here's hoping Part 2 continues to deliver.

Another Kyle Robes video!! Let's gooooo!

That Deus ex Makima part just sparked my brain cells holy-

This Video about understanding the author reminds me of why I like the books Ender's game and Speaker of the Dead. To paraphrase one of the main characters' quotes "The moment I truly understand another person is the moment where I begin to love them just as they love themselves." I really love your work in sharing the message Tatsuki Fujimoto is trying to convey and I hope to see more in-depth videos like this soon.

Just an additional note. Man Eating Mermaids was once a popular myth among sailors.

Such a thoughtful and well-written analysis on the works of Fujimoto, this video made me tear up a little. I was aware of Chainsaw-man as an absurd over the top action manga, and I read it on a whim. It was absolutely nothing like what I expected, and I got so enthralled and absorbed that I read the whole thing in a single day. It was a rollercoaster and it was amazing, and it left me with a feeling of melancholy that I can't quite put into words. The action was cool, the comedy made me laugh, but it also made me very emotional. I went straight into Fire Punch the next day, and oh boy it left me a mess. It's so good and relatable it hurts. I stumbled upon this video, and I just wanted to thank you for the amazing work you put into this. Fujimoto's work is without a doubt very sincere and intense, and he has become one of my favorite authors very quickly. You earned yourself my sub. Keep it up! :)

This is so damn good. Immediately subscribed! Also looking forward to finding more of Fujimoto's works to read.

Genji is a type 9 and it's very difficult to write a good story with your protagonist being a peacemaker but he nails it perfectly.
