Chainsaw Man discussion thread

It's more as if the devils' powers were something abstract and metaphorical rather than a literal visualization of what they do.
When you fall, what makes you fall is gravity, so Falling manipulates gravity, in the dark, strange things can happen, not only living beings age, everything will become once young, in the future it will be old and It will die
 
What is The Pochita throwing up?
1.Nuke Devil
2.Eldritch horror devil
3.Alternate death ending devil
4.Some other end of life related devil that makes dying if old age look like a blessing.
5.Some silly clown devil just to make more stomach space for Denji.
 
Don't got school to make the time go by faster... this is gonna be a long two weeks.

Btw Makima was able to overpower Santa's control over her perfect puppet and make it use itself to send them back to Earth. Does this mean her mind control can work on inorganic beings? i dont really recall puppets being shown to have brains

I think it'll be the Nuke Devil.
 
Guys, remember, it's Denji barfing up, so stuff like Nuke devil won't realistically help Pochita at all nor would Pochita want to nuke Tokyo up either. So my guess is that he'll bring back one of his chainsaw-related hax he used to have but ate them all.
 
Also, about thermobaric bomb, someone said that it would also vaporize a primal fear right? I found out that it wouldn't, at least not guarantee.

A Nuke would be able to completely cell wipes on an atomic level, but a thermobaric bomb wouldn't be able to do so 100% (and not like it's a 70% or so, but literally really freaking low), and that's why Primal Fears could regenerate from a thermobaric bomb but likely not a nuke. Anyways, there's still one thing to consider though, that being that Falling was completely confident that nothing humans presently possess could kill it, meaning that even in a scenario that we throwing all bombs we have at it (would at least give a slight chance of completely cell wipes), it wouldn't even matter one bit, that's the attitude I'm getting from it.

So again, I think it's safe to say that even a Nuke wouldn't stand a chance against them for now, via fear scaling and statement.

Do you guys think that tree thing gives pochita a resistance to age manipulation? And does it give aging some sort of advanced form of age manipulation since he can seemingly age type 1 immortals

Normally those who do not have type 1 immortality will literally die of old age (unless they can live more than 1000 years without being immortal). This does not give Pochita any resistance, it only further reinforces that he can live forever.

No. It's just transmutation. Devils don't become trees from living a few millenia, humans do.
 
Santa couldn't turn fiends and hybrids into dolls, after she gains darkness's powers she can now turn fiends, but hybrids are still seemingky immune. Does Pochita inherit Denji's resistance in his Devil form making Aging transmutation double layered or does that only apply to hybrids specifically?

My guess is that Pochita would turn into a Doll, but if you pull his ripcord he'd turn back into a Devil, but that's just a guess.
 
Speaking of Fiends, I don't like that Yoru and Asa's profile lists her as "The War Fiend," when they're really not a fiend.
  1. Unlike fiends, where the devil's mind gets screwed over with human corpse's memories, Asa's still very much conscious and aware, and she and Yoru are separate thinking beings.
  2. Asa and Yoru don't seem to be able to heal with blood, otherwise Yoru would've healed the arm Yoshida chopped off. Yoru even noted that it was a pain to deal with during the jailbreak, so it's not like she'd want to keep it like that.
  3. Unlike fiends, it's (maybe) possible for Yoru to actually leave Asa's body, as Yoru states in Ch. 99- "If we beat Chainsaw Man, I'll return your body." Granted, I say maybe because Yoru could be totally lying here.
The closest thing to a label for what Asa and Yoru are is when Falling calls them "Asa root Yoru, a Human and War Devil Fusion" in Ch. 124, but I'm pretty sure "Fusion" a reference to fusion cuisine rather than an official designation.
 
Unlike fiends, where the devil's mind gets screwed over with human corpse's memories, Asa's still very much conscious and aware, and she and Yoru are separate thinking beings.
This is due to the devil taking over the brain. When the brain is intact, it has huge influence over the personality and memories of the Fiend as seen with Gallgali. Yoru takes this one step further by leaving half of Asa's brain intact (which she says she could take over any time she pleases). They also are not separate beings: Yoru knows everything Asa thinks as in her own words "[Asa] is me." Asa's emotions also influence Yoru's feelings as seen with her liking Denji, because they share a brain.

Asa and Yoru don't seem to be able to heal with blood, otherwise Yoru would've healed the arm Yoshida chopped off. Yoru even noted that it was a pain to deal with during the jailbreak, so it's not like she'd want to keep it like that.
No Fiend has ever displayed the ability to regenerate a limb. I'm of the belief that it's a matter of a limit on Fiend regeneration.
 
If Makima's contract isn't regeneration and is damage transferal to any attack, could it redirect atomic erasure, soul attacks, and much more because those are still attacks?

In my opinion, it'd work on the former but not the latter, since souls are not confirmed to exist in Chainsaw Man.

In theory? Maybe, but since nlf applies here we can't just assume it to be able to do that, which is why is why the on this site her damage transfersal is scaled on the basis of regeneration types

The first one is likely, but you can't argue that for now because it's NLF. The verse has no feats or statements above mid-high regeneration.

The verse has never shown the ability to interact with souls, so assuming that Contracts can interact with, let alone nullify or transfer soul damage is also NLF.

It's not an NLF, her contract is law manipulation entirely, the contract will trigger as long as the intent of the opponent is to cause harm, no matter the form of the attack.
 
I feel like that's saying we can't say a fighter can redirect a kick because we've only seen them redirect a punch
If the fighter has healthy legs, you can argue he can kick.

If the verse has soul manip, you can argue she can transfer.

Just because it's Law Manip and transcends to the verse, does not mean that it can do things beyond what the verse has shown so far.

I believe this is NLF.

Agree To Disagree Ig.

But do we really have confirmation on if it's regeneration or not ignoring this, because this doesn't show if it's actually regen or not.

Would you say something like deconstruction/decay would work on her? And what about stuff like existence erasure, concept manipulation, so on.

Assuming all attacks are with the intent to harm her, decon cannot work and will trigger the contract. However, existence erasure erases the contract and depending on the type concept manip it may or may not work.

Why would souls be an exception? Isn't attacking the soul still under the perception of an attack?

Question for you specifically. I've seen your thread regarding on how weakened would Pochita to scale to the full AP of the Bat Devil due to the fact that he can defeat all the hybrids, but this seems to entail that the hybrids > the full AP of the Bat Devil. How is this the case? What did they do?

Also, if the Falling Devil created Multi-Continent levels of gravity fluctuations on Earth, why wouldn't this scale to Makima or Pochita? Pochita is implied to be a devil that's feared more than her, or at least on the same level, and so, shouldn't he have more power than her and thus have Multi-Continent levels of output? Same for Typhoon Devil creating Small City+ storms.

And also, Justice Devil reacted to Falling Devil's gravity attacks and gravitational waves are the speed of light. So, would this be relativistic+ something?

Finally, would KE of a speed of an attack be useful for scaling? I've seen a calculation that claims that the KE of the Gun Devil's attack is Large Island level.

Mb, won't do it again.

The idea of the thread is that a select few Mid Tiers and some High Tiers are stronger than the Bat Devil’s full AP. Mid tiers, like Quanxi, Reze and Katana Man, consistently show they’re far above the baseline 8.04 Tons of TNT. For example, Quanxi has blocked attacks from Pochita’s clone and even managed to harm him, which is an impressive feat for her scaling chain considering the clone is way stronger than the Bat Devil and can one shot character's who scale leagues above him as well. Take Reze and Katana Man, both been able to fatally damage a stronger version of Chainsaw Man, who is superior to his pre-training counterpart, who could survive a part of the Bat Devil’s sonic attack, but was damaged so badly that he chose to regenerate. Then there’s Santa Claus in her night form, powered by a piece of flesh from the Darkness Devil and the Blood Devil, whose abilities scale way above the Bat Devil thanks to having the same power source (and probably an even stronger one) as a Weakened Pochita. It all ties back to how fear scaling works in general. Makima scales because she can one-shot a Weakened Pochita, who far out scales the full AP of the blast.

That was the summary of that thread. However, new scaling in the near future will propose that anyone scaling to Post-Training Chainsaw Man will also scale to the full AP of the Bat Devil. Why? Because of Kishibe’s daily and then weekly training sessions, Chainsaw Man went from struggling to take the Bat Devil’s sonic attack head on to being able to tank punches from beings far stronger, like a Darkness-empowered Santa Claus. Santa Claus scales to transformed Quanxi’s arrows, which can pierce through a Weakened Pochita, who in turn, was strong enough to physically snap those arrows like twigs. I’m not going to explain the scaling fully yet, but that’s the basis of the scaling to come.
Also, if the Falling Devil created Multi-Continent levels of gravity fluctuations on Earth, why wouldn't this scale to Makima or Pochita? Pochita is implied to be a devil that's feared more than her, or at least on the same level, and so, shouldn't he have more power than her and thus have Multi-Continent levels of output? Same for Typhoon Devil creating Small City+ storms.
Because it's environmental destruction that doesn't even scale to herself.
And also, Justice Devil reacted to Falling Devil's gravity attacks and gravitational waves are the speed of light. So, would this be relativistic+ something?
I brought this up before but dropped it because I’ve never seen this get accepted on the wiki. Plus, it creates a huge outlier, as a weakened Chainsaw Man would be clocking MFTL calcs from being able to statue the Justice Devil while low on blood, which is just inconsistent with the Hypersonic+ to Sub-Relativistic showings in the series, especially for a mid-tier character, it would be a different story of Pochita did it, since we have reasoning behind him being that fast, but a weakened Chainsaw Man? nah.
