Denji has undergone a big change after the end of the Demon of Old Age arc
The most recent arc of the Chainsaw Man manga has ended and in a rather peculiar way, which has been criticized by some fans, while others argue that it makes sensesince it fits the essence of this work by Fujimoto. But now that it has ended, we can carry out some analysis and affirm that it has been a strange, intense plot, full of action and revelations.
It all starts from the Demon of Old Age, which is a primal fear that was introduced in the manga and that represents, as its name indicates, humanity’s fear of aging. This was shown as one of the most powerful opponents Denji and Pochita have faced. And now that his participation seems to have ended, we can conclude that his entire arc has marked a before and after in the life of the protagonist. Below, we will tell you more details.
Denji and Asa have had important development
Denji and Asa have had the opportunity to overcome misunderstandings
Denji is one of those characters who turns out to be smarter than he seems. And he may not be the smartest and most intellectual protagonist, but it cannot be denied that He has great creativity that allows him to solve and overcome any obstacle. This was something she demonstrated when she fought against Makima, the best villain.
And Makima had a contract that made her practically immortal, but Denji, in his unique intellect, was able to find a hole in this pact defeat this villain exceptionally. Something similar has happened in this arc of the Demon of Old Age.
When Denji and Asa were trapped in the World of Old Age, they discovered that They had no powers in this place and they could get trapped eternally like the rest of the humans who were there and who suffered a fate worse than death. However, the protagonist, being aware of his bond with Pochita, who was fighting against Old Age in the real world, devised a plan.
Denji, on his own, found a way to support Pochita in her fight.
Pochita was no match for Old Ageas it continued to brutally damage him over and over again. However, Denji discovered that his bond with his friend was still active, so he devoured the entrails of the human trees so that Pochita would regenerate and continue fighting.
But that’s not all, since when he came to the conclusion that Pochita couldn’t do it on her own, He had another great idea and that was to run without stopping until he felt like vomiting.allowing his friend to bring back any demons he had previously eaten. This is how Yoshida and the Octopus Demon returned, essential for the success of this fight.
Denji showed that he has enough intellect to defeat a primal
In this way, Denji showed that, although he is despised and not be the most intellectual beingYes, he has great reasoning and the ability to solve problems. His intelligence is special, that cannot be denied. On the other hand, Asa also had a certain opportunity, since she was essential for the protagonist to learn to accept his sins and those previous actions for which he did not forgive himself. This was because she had experienced many tragic moments as well.
Asa and Denji also had the opportunity to talk more calmly, solving misunderstandings and problems between them. This is a big step for the protagonists. Evidently, that’s not all, as Asa and Yoru gained a huge power boost before their battle against Old Age, when the War Demon absorbed Gun and Tank.
Now that this arc has come to an end, regardless of how it went, there is no denying that has created the perfect scenario so that Denji and Asa have a little more development, which is always appreciated. However, questions still remain in the air, the most important being Nayuta’s fate.
