- SPOILER WARNING FOR PART 1 OF CHAINSAW MAN!!!
Makima is who I believe to be the best shonen
antagonist in this generation’s anime. In order to explain why that is and what I believe to be the main message of the story, this video will be diving into her central traits, Denji’s dynamic with her, and the necessity of bad movies within the world of Chainsaw Man.

Denji Analysis: • The Internets Greatest...
Check out our other stuff!: @BeyondMediaAnalysis1
Any time people talk about how Chainsaw Man is a tragedy, part of me can't help but agree... mostly. The difference, in my mind, is that Chainsaw Man uses subtlely to preach hope. No matter the tragedy that happens, there is a glimmer of hope for the world to be better tomorrow. That's how I interpreted Denji's willingness to fight Makima at the end. The series is hopelessly hopeful.
To expand on this, that's another way that Makima is Denji's opposite. She has no hope for tomorrow, so she will remove all the pain, the suffering, the bad movies from the world so it can be better tomorrow. Because she doesn't believe it can be better on its own, while not seeing that in doing so she would remove the beauty from the world.
There's a scene in part 2 that it's basically this and it helped me to go through an absolutely shitty moment in life.
@@gabrielleite32 are you talking about when the Falling devil shows up & Asa is ready to give up but Denji gives his speech about life being mostly a sh¡t sandwich but that's okay because he has something to look forward to? That's what I was thinking of
@@jsull81 exactly this one. I was in a terrible moment of grief, work was shitty, relationship problems. And Denji gave the most Denji speech possible
@@gabrielleite32 @gabrielleite32 I'm sorry to hear that. I'm doing better now, but I've struggled with depression & anxiety my whole life so i definitely know how it is. But I'm glad you were able to find some solace in Denji's heartfelt speech/plea
And I'd love to see this channel cover that part at some point & have him fill in the speech bubble with what Denji really means when he says sex is the thing that keeps him going. It probably be something similar to the first time, i.e. he really just wants to find & maintain a real & meaningful connection to someone. Which is also what I think Asa wants.
In the same scene, she says she's fine with it all ending though she would've like to experience something just one time. And I think that's what she was talking about too, finding a meaningful relationship. They just have slightly different ways of expressing that desire 😅
But ya, I love CSM & the subtle yet profound moments of hope we get from time to time, in between all the large helpings of shit sandwiches. Unfortunately, it's very relatable 😁
Part 1 is perfect.
Part 2 seemed a little tamed but the recent chapters threw it out of the window.
Tatsuki fujimoto is the best unhinged writer to ever exist.
Denji is the real life potrail of protagonists
One of my favorite aspects of Makima's end is how Denji wouldn't have been able to breach the contract keeping her alive if she hadn't fostered that unhealthy love from grooming and destroying his sense of self.
Had she cared for Denji in an genuine and even slightly more humane way, no one could have stopped her. She wouldn't have lost control of her plan if she didn't try controlling him in the way she did.
The excessive authority Makima strived for groomed Denji into the ultimate refutement of it.
When Denji asks about the bad movies, I always recall the chapter where Denji sat next to Kobeni and she told him that a normal life is a life with highs and lows. I really love that moment, and I really feel like in that moment, with a character that atleast I never suspected to give Denji advice, a switch flipped in Denji's mind. Like he finally understood what he was trying to achieve. A normal life.
Great vid

I also think that Makima wanting to erase bad movies is a call back to fire punch, as in that the main villain only started the apocalypse because she didn't want the next star wars to be crap.
the panel with makima crying at the movie is my favorite pannel and the whole chapter and the chapter where denji talks about bad movies with makima beofre fighting IS my favorite chapter out the whole series I heard alot of people realize how important the movies were and even most people agree with me with that being the best pannel but no one ever did a DEEP DIVE video thank you man! this is perfect I was waiting on this forever
@@xcxmafai I got you bro. Glad you enjoyed!!
MAKIMA WHEN I FUCKING CATCH YOU MAKIMA!!!!!
@@middy6194 Louder for the people in the back 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️🔥🔥
i dont know if you noticed or said in the video, the movie marathon chapter is 39 while the denji vs makima chapter is 93, where they talk about movies in the ideal world. i goddamn love fujimoto
I cannot verbally express how good this video is. From the tiny metaphors to explaining the grand picture you are so on point! You honestly deserve an award of some kind.
How have you gotten so good at interpretation? Is it pure talent or have you studied this?
Thanks so much! I've been writing books for about 7 years and totaled 8 novels and about a million words worth of stories. I defiantly think I have some talent for it 100%, but all the time I spent actually writing or learning how to write helps so much with analysis.

Oh my god! That sounds so incredible! You definitely deserve to be the number one story interpretation/analysis channel on this platform, I‘m rooting for you!
Also, if I may ask, how did you go from a writer to a content creator? Not that I‘m complaining of course but that sound like a big leap!
You are criminally underrated, great analysis, keep up the good work!
Thank you goat
I just Want you to know that you explaining these concepts to me as a person, outlining them, bringing the topic up really has resonated with me and I want to thank you for making such an amazing video essay to make me feel that, Thank You
You know those small change in Text from what you think is the message always amazed me.
Just the small change gives you a new and differente view on the context
i think you also missed the point that denji knows the movie he loved is a bad movie because there were no other people were watching it while he enjoyed it despite it being bad. this is also reflected in the ending when he says he still loves makima despite everything thats happened.
but makima wanting to make a world without bad movies means that she is rejecting denji, and the connection they had during the bad movie. she was unable to see what they had in that moment while he knew the whole time what they had then, which was what makima says she wanted all along but she doesnt understand it.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'll answer my opinion about the title, the need for bad movies is like a phase of Syndrome, from the movie The Incredibles
"When everybody is Super, no one will be"
If all movies are good, none will be truly good. We won't have the same feeling of watching a good movie because we won't know the difference between what is bad and what is good. It will be meaningless
Just finished rewatching chainsawman yesterday! Perfect timing
Your CSM videos are 🔥, well done 👍🏼
Again, i think it's just crazy you don't have more recognition!! I have watched countless video essays and your videos rank among some of the best.
Chainsaw man is such an interesting manga/anime to me. It was one of the most profoundly uncomfortable viewing experiences of my life, and I can only in good faith recommended to a select few people. And yet, I think it's writing is absolute genius and the series as a whole is a complete masterpiece.
The metaphor of good movies and bad movies is absolutely genius. As a wise man once said, "No rain, no rainbow". You gotta take the good with the bad. Because if Denji had never been through such hardships, he never would have known how good jam on toast, a warm bath and touching breasts would feel. You need to experience sadness to truly appreciate how good happiness can make you feel.
That's what makes Chainsaw Man one of the best stories I've ever read from a literary standpoint (I don't know if this is the right word) through its use of imagery and metaphor between cats, dogs, doors and bad movies.
Really great video man. I've watched a few now and they are incredible. I've noticed since watching your videos, my English grades have improved (60% on the last test. I'm delighted). So maybe it's a good idea to keep watching. Keep up the amazing work!
Lets go new video gonna be 🔥
No man!!! Like...how are you so Good at this Analysis and everything?!!🙆♂️
You see i was a big simp of her
(maybe im still a little am)
Until i read part one i got so mad and frustrated of her
I just wanted to😤😤😤
It’s a really great analysis but 🤓👆 unfortunately you missed on how it was actually pochita that was talking and battling against Makima and the hybrids the entire time pretending to be Denji in that graveyard as an ironic twist(?) to point out her delusional idealization of what little she actually truly knew of Pochita and all.
I probably should have been more clear on that for sure, but I think the messaging of their dynamic and Makima’s goals in relation to chapter 39 still works perfectly fine. Since Pochita and Dennis were with each other and unified in both events, the story thematically works the same. But yeah, I could have been more clear for sure
Makima lost her gambit by ignoring Denji's idiocy
This video is straight 🔥 you are a amazing chef!
Thank you goat
great analysis :>
You uploaded this video at the perfect time for me. Thank you for your work
Cinema every time perfect video
this video was so so good
I got the notification a bit too late (two days late!), but begter late than never.
This was an amazing video, great job!
Me clicking on this learning that aki is going to get killed by denji..the horror
That was the one good movie I needed....thank you!
my goat 🙏 fire video
I hope you'll do an analysis on part 2 and it's characters. Ik it not finished so maybe on a certain arc or a character like asa mitaka or denji state of character in part2 compared to part 1 so far
Nvm I remember you did the denji one in his analysis video
Definitely in the cards!! I’m not all the way caught up on part 2 but it’s for sure a possibility
Bro said demure tiktok has fried my brain to forget the word has a meaning bro😭
ITS A REAL WORD?!
fire video 🔥
amazing.
I really hope Part 2 includes more philosophical thinking like Part 1. I just can’t feel true connections like I did the original.
