this is something i've been turning over in my head, but has probably already been observed by others: chainsaw man part 2's messiness makes you long for the familiar structure of part 1, and the nostalgia that evokes is similar to real reactionary thought. this has really crystallized for me 1/?

went to the theater for reze movie after class but didn't realize you couldn't bring backpacks into a theater. the theater is way too far from my apartment for me to justify walking there and back just for a movie. guess i'm pirating after all. shoutouts to the person cosplaying quanxi though

i'm on early part 2 on my reread rn and it's interesting in light of this recent chapter to be reminded of how i and probably many others thought yoru was a manifestation of asa's unchained, "true" self, that she would help asa escape the societal norms that constrained her. instead, her violent re-

i don't think this means all of asa's previous falls were intentional, but it still approaches violence in an interesting way. the devil hunter came when she called right away, but who would have come for either asa's or denji's abusive fathers? without direct power in society they take power where

can't decide whether "asa's mom's selfless love is a foil to yoru" or "asa's mom was actually yoru and a terrible mother and asa's blocking those memories" are more likely but somehow there's going to be a secret third thing no one could have expected
