Chainsaw Man discussion thread

That looks less like Pochita hitting the bang aside, and more like the bang hitting Pochita's guard/chainsaws and deflecting off to the side (especially considering that he goes flying), which means he wouldn't scale to its speed. (Hitting a bullet with a shield vs. being stationary and a bullet bouncing off of one's shield)

Either way his chainsaws are more durable than his body, which makes sense.
right at the start of chapter 177
also again, Yoru's Bang is a physical projectile
haven't we been saying the Bang is telekinesis?
Huh, it is. It definitely looks different from Makima's, although that was calced as a cylinder of air moving really fast iirc. Dunno if that's telekinesis or not.
 
...When did Pochita turn around? There's only one panel of him before the bullet struck, with his back to it and head facing forward, and the sound effect reads "Incoming."
In the previous chapter, Pochita was facing the opposite direction, asking for blood. In the current chapter, mere moments before the bullet hit him, he was able to turn around and acknowledge the incoming projectile, even lowering the hand he was using to wave the sign asking for blood donors. He turned to his left to literally see the bullet coming towards him. Plus, there was no sound effect for the bullet when it reached Pochita. In fact, given the speed at which the bullet was moving, sound (in general) would not have reached him in time for him to acknowledge it. What we see him doing in the panel is purely reacting to the incoming bullet.
Also, even if he did "acknowledge the bullet" (he did not but for the sake of argument let's say he did), it absolutely does not scale to his reaction speed. Reactions specifically mean being able to dodge, from Speed-
The mere act of turning his body left to observe the projectile while he was off-guard is enough.

That's not what happened in those panels. Pochita instantly raised his left arm to block after Yoru fired her shot. If we do indeed decide to compare the speed of these shots to Makima's "bang," the shot should have been traveling around Mach 4000, as Pochita could even make the effort to attempt to block. He is clearly faster than that attack.

...Are we looking at the same panels? He's still facing forward, Pochita isn't turned at all.

No it isn't.

Okay that part's fair, although he scales to the projectile for blocking it not for deflecting it.

Honestly, I see your interpretation, therefore I wont push my stance and leave scaling be until next chapter.
No it isn't.
If it were the case (not that it is the case) that we saw him turn around as the bullet was traveling towards him after busting through the building, then yes, the scaling would be very much plausible.

Honestly, I don't see it as Pochita aiming to deflect the attack on purpose, rather, it's him blocking, and the attack conveniently deflects off his chainsaws, causing the recoil to send him flying. So yeah, I agree.
 
personally i think that panel was supposed to be pochita noticing the bullet and beginning to turn around right as it reaches him

but i dont think we know that with enough certainty for pochita to scale
