Chapter 204: Reze (Original)
Chapter 204: Reze (Original)
After the plot of Himeno in Chainsaw Man was completely concluded, the story entered a new arc.
Next, Denji, under the arrangement of Makima, formed a new partnership with Shark Devil.
Upon meeting, Shark Devil immediately acted like Denji's little fan, hugging him and constantly calling him "Chainsaw Man."
This made Denji feel uncomfortable.
However, soon after, Makima suddenly invited Denji to go on a date with her.
Denji naturally didn't need to say much and immediately accepted Makima's invitation.
The two went on a date in a movie theater, and while Denji watched Makima watching the movie, he was unexpectedly moved to tears, feeling a bit strange.
Fans of the manga noticed that movies appeared once again in Fujimoto's works.
Speaking of which, it seems that everyone has noticed that Fujimoto has a particular fondness for incorporating cigarettes and movies into his manga works.
As for cigarettes, it's needless to say. Whether it's Lucy and Kivi, the main characters of Edge Walker, who are often seen smoking, or Rihata from Fire Punch who enjoys smoking, and even people using cigarettes to worship Agni.
In Chainsaw Man not long before the most intense plot, Himeno taught Aki to smoke, and finally gave him a cigarette with the words "Easy Revenge!" written on it.
All of this proves that Fujimoto seems to have a strong attachment to cigarettes.
As for movies, the only work where movies appeared in Fujimoto's works is Fire Punch.
However, upon closer inspection, isn't the "Super Dream" in Edge Walker also a form of movie?
But in a high-tech setting, it seems unreasonable to have such a primitive form of movie screening, so it was changed to the so-called "Super Dream."
Now, movies and theaters have also appeared in Chainsaw Man.
This caused some trauma for fans who had seen Fire Punch.
After the ambiguous plot where Makima took the initiative to get closer to Denji, Denji met a girl in the rain.
She accepted the small flower Denji gave her as a gift and, in return, invited him to the coffee shop where she worked for a cup of coffee.
During the ambiguous interactions between them, Denji couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
"She casually touches me and smiles at me... Does she like me?"
Then she proactively said to Denji:
"My name is Reze, and you?"
"My name is... Denji."
Denji answered honestly.
Reze then blushed and continued, "This is the first time I've met someone as interesting as you, Denji..."
Denji immediately became more certain of his thoughts and thought to himself, "What should I do... She must like me."
"But I also like... the people who like me."
Looking at Reze's cute and beautiful face, Denji thought to himself, "Makima... help me!"
"I'm going to fall for her!"
...
"Huh?"
Ke Xin Jie was somewhat surprised after reading this plot, feeling rather confused.
"Wait... Denji, didn't you just go on a date with Makima?"
She indignantly said for Makima, "And now you're flirting with another woman???"
Makima's popularity is still very high, and there are many fans of hers.
Some fans even went as far as saying, "Denji is holding back Makima, he doesn't deserve her."
...Actually, it's not really an outrageous statement.
After all, Makima's strength has been shown to be incredibly strong. If it was just like the "Seven-step hand washing" technique that was similar to a mage's attack, it would have been fine.
One could even say that Denji and Makima have different roles, and Denji could protect Makima in close combat.
But Makima had also shown formidable close combat abilities on the train.
Although the scene was brief and didn't give an actual close combat display of Makima, she killed several attackers armed with powerful firearms from that distance.
This is enough to prove that her close combat ability is certainly not low.
So, Denji's popularity definitely can't compare to Makima's.
Now, Denji, still in the middle of his ambiguous relationship with Makima, is flirting with a newly introduced female character, and this only makes everyone even more dissatisfied.
As a result, the popularity of Chainsaw Man plummeted this week.
It was a significant drop, and this time, Yang Shuzhun's God Tribe surpassed it and overtook it.
Chainsaw Man is currently ranked fourth, while God Tribe is in third!
...
Yang Shuzhun never expected this to happen. His God Tribe plot was only just starting with the exploration of the dungeon and the task of killing the Fire God.
The plot hadn't reached its climax yet.
Logically speaking, it should never have surpassed Chainsaw Man after the Himeno arc concluded.
But in the past two weeks, Chainsaw Man suddenly introduced a romance subplot, with a new female character interacting with the male lead Denji in an ambiguous way.
This even caused dissatisfaction among Makima's fans.
The latest chapter of the novel was first published in 6@9 Book Bar, so please visit the Six Nine Book Bar to read it!
This led to a slight decline in Chainsaw Man's popularity.
So... Yang Shuzhun really didn't know what Fujimoto was thinking.
"Next, he should just follow the plan."
Yang Shuzhun shook his head and said, "At this time, introducing a female character to flirt with the male lead is like cutting off one's own arm."
He certainly wouldn't do something like this.
Drawing halfway through, suddenly adding a new female character and having her interact ambiguously with the male lead.
Such a plot arrangement is like sabotaging one's own success.
Instead of continuing to pursue the main plot of the Gun Devil, you just open up a new plot.
That's truly taking a big risk.
Even if they didn't continue to pursue the Gun Devil, they could still arrange for the Gun Devil's subordinates to cause trouble.
Or they could introduce new enemy devils.
Why create a whole new plotline and draw a new character?
"It's truly a terrible decision... Fujimoto."
Yang Shuzhun confidently chuckled, "I didn't expect someone as talented as you would make a mistake."
"Well... don't blame me!"
But the next plot of Chainsaw Man still continued as usual.
Apart from Aki's partnership with Angel Devil, the rest of the plot was about Denji's interactions with Reze.
Denji once again visited the café where Reze worked, and he saw that Reze seemed to be studying.
"Aren't you studying?"
Denji asked.
Reze invited Denji to study together, and she personally taught him how to read.
Denji made her laugh and blush, "Hahaha... What is this?"
At that moment, Denji said, "If it's with Reze, I kind of want to go to school."
"It seems pretty interesting."
Reze then directly invited Denji to go on an adventure at the school that evening.
Looking at the cute and beautiful Reze, Denji didn't refuse and agreed, "Alright..."
And his inner voice appeared in the narration:
"My heart belongs to Makima!!"
"But my body doesn't listen to me..."
Considering whether or not to make the Reze arc more detailed (seriously).
