Episode Notes
Denji is robbed of a normal teenage life, left with nothing but his deadbeat father's overwhelming debt. His only companion is his pet, the chainsaw devil Pochita, with whom he slays devils for money that inevitably ends up in the yakuza's pockets. All Denji can do is dream of a good, simple life: one with delicious food and a beautiful girlfriend by his side. But an act of greedy betrayal by the yakuza leads to Denji's brutal, untimely death, crushing all hope of him ever achieving happiness. Remarkably, an old contract allows Pochita to merge with the deceased Denji and bestow devil powers on him, changing him into a hybrid able to transform his body parts into chainsaws.
Because Denji's new abilities pose a significant risk to society, the Public Safety Bureau's elite devil hunter Makima takes him in, letting him live as long as he obeys her command. Guided by the promise of a content life alongside an attractive woman, Denji devotes everything and fights with all his might to make his naive dreams a reality.

Basics. Alright what's going on guys it's your boy Ruse welcome back again to another episode on the podcast. You know I asked for something and you guys provided and doing so I would like to congratulate us because we are the podcast. Anime, reviews, anime in general is what we are all about. We have hit the amount of followers of 230 which is actually the same chapter that we are reading today but bonus is that we've actually hit 231 so thank you once again to everyone you know the goal at the end of the year is 1k but we're climbing very fast so please let's get the next goal of 230. 230 followers and then 250 and then 300 and so on. Alright Chainsaw Man chapter 230 titled Sex and Selection.
Why is she laughing like that? That's creepy. Oh yeah that was from the last chapter. So last chapter Denji explained to her that he owes him sex or something like that. You know how this anime goes it's just weird but if that's a contract that's a contract. Why did you think I'd avoid a dove? Which is very true Denji did avoid a dove. What about the sex? Answer me. One of my friends was the nasty devil who tried to kill me any chance she got but she had a soft spot for animals. I think I had hoped you'd be like her. Why? Why? Why did you hope I'd be like her? Because I was lonely and wanted a friend maybe. You're fine with being just friends? I want a friend I can have sex with.
That made me chuckle and also made her chuckle at the same time. You really are a sex obsessed ape. I hate Chainsaw Man but I like you Denji. Let's call a temporary truce. Oh is that blood over there? She just got the pond on pouring in his mouth. I'll let you have sex with me. Asa gives her consent too. Uh oh. Oh he's sweating. Oh he turned straight back into his human form. Damn. Hell yeah. What the hell? Okay so she's had demons or devils also waiting there too. And they're looking like they're about to attack them whilst they're about to do the deed. But it looks like this guy also may be in control as well.
I feel like this guy is the leader of all these guys in terms of Asa or the wall devil not controlling them. Or maybe I'm just wrong so let me know in the comment section box below. But in this moment here I wasn't expecting them to have sex. I'm just expecting them to like obviously they're in the position of about to having sex. But they've just confirmed cool that their consent's been given so it's confirmed that they will be doing it sooner or later. Just not right there. But they give the idea that they would in this moment right here when he's like hell yeah. So you can see the guy and this thing I don't know who that is probably just another teammate. I think are these people? They are. Look they're dead.
They're dead people. Their bodies are severed. And you can see birds, bats eating at them. India Fumiko reporting in. This is bad. Really bad. A buttload of bats are devouring people. Canada Fumiko reporting in. Massive insect swarms are eating folks over here too. Why is this happening? The higher a species fertility the more of its offspring get culled at birth. However, because lives now have no end natural selection is no longer in play. All offspring now live forever. From now on to fuel their reproduction will be eaten alive in little pieces and continue to live in pain and despair as the flesh and blood of bugs and beasts. Hello? Are you listening? Oh she got eaten too. Crazy work.
That's the thing about Chainsaw Man. Anyone can just go straight away. You get introduced to a character. They seem like they may be important and then they're gone. It seems like the director of this anime, sorry manga, the writer, the mangaka, he just has different ideas of looks or personalities that he likes to incorporate and a lot of fodder type of drawings for different characters that are just not needed but they can be used for filler. Last year when we Fumikos all gathered in the villa we talked a great deal while gazing at the fireplace. I was surprised that we all had different worst fears even though we're all Fumiko. Other Fumikos answered with fears like sickness, people and woe.
At the time I couldn't decide on mine. But now she's about to get eaten. So many of them. Denji, we're too low on blood. We need to flee. What's he scared of? Denji! Like hell are we gonna run away? Right Pochita? We're finally gonna get to have sex. If you're gonna get in our way then... Oh snap. How's it go again? Just about when he's about to get punched in his face. So because he lost too much blood I think the guy is a bit delirious which is why he's about to get punched in his face and not even understand what the hell was going on. But you know that's the chapter for 2.30. I'm very proud of everyone. Do you know what I'm saying?
