[00:00.000 --> 00:03.760] I think it's so weird that when you ask people what their favorite type of M&M is, [00:03.760 --> 00:07.360] most people start responding with colors rather than what kind of variety of M&M. [00:07.360 --> 00:10.560] Like I just feel like that's like makes sense. I don't understand the disconnect. [00:10.560 --> 00:14.240] David, David, David, no one cares. And also it's the chainsaw minute. [00:14.240 --> 00:17.760] It's the chainsaw minute. Oh man, I almost forgot that time. [00:30.000 --> 00:49.360] I'm David and this is your dose of chainsaw man. You can join us every Friday or we see [00:49.360 --> 00:52.640] what masterpiece Fujimono put out. I'm Jordan and if you're looking for [00:52.640 --> 00:57.280] regular Shonen Flop goodness, you can find our next episode to hear our full thoughts [00:57.280 --> 01:01.440] on Yowakemono featuring comic story and this Monday. [01:01.440 --> 01:04.880] Oh, that was a great episode. Oh, yeah, he's a really cool guy. [01:05.440 --> 01:09.760] Super cool guy. Just a reminder, these recordings are open every once to listen and chat along with [01:09.760 --> 01:13.840] us on the Shonen Flop Discord every Tuesday at 6pm Eastern time when there's a new chapter out. [01:13.840 --> 01:18.000] Finally to end the show notes are on our site. And Jordan, what was your devil this week? [01:18.000 --> 01:23.040] The Godot devil, David. I feel like that was our devil for a little bit. [01:23.040 --> 01:26.400] That was almost mine. Yeah, me and David are both working with [01:26.400 --> 01:30.160] the Godot engine to try and learn it. I was following a tutorial. [01:30.160 --> 01:36.480] Then I ran into a bit of an error that the guy in the tutorial did not run into. [01:36.480 --> 01:39.920] So now I'm trying to was using a different version of Godot. [01:39.920 --> 01:42.960] No, it's just something. I didn't hook something up right, [01:42.960 --> 01:45.280] but I can't figure out what I didn't hook up right. [01:45.280 --> 01:49.680] So it's this is coding everybody. This is fucking. Oh, God. [01:49.680 --> 01:53.120] What about you, David? I'm actually starting Godot tutorial tomorrow. [01:53.120 --> 01:55.760] So I'll probably have the same devil as you next episode. [01:55.760 --> 01:57.680] Oh, boy. Yep. [01:57.680 --> 02:01.360] But yeah, mine's a free time devil start a new job, so I have zero free time. [02:01.360 --> 02:03.920] Hence why we had to move our recording time for this. [02:03.920 --> 02:06.480] Very true. Oh, God. [02:06.480 --> 02:10.320] We are just living our best lives. Oh, Jordan. [02:10.320 --> 02:13.440] One way I love to spend my free time is recording these podcasts with you. [02:13.440 --> 02:20.000] So why don't we hear that plot summary for chapter 154? Oh, pets. [02:20.720 --> 02:21.840] Let's get the plot summary. [02:21.840 --> 02:25.040] Denji is still in bad shape from his fight with the weapons, [02:25.040 --> 02:28.640] as well as the angry mob that has been stabbing him and stuff. [02:28.640 --> 02:32.480] Naita has been trying to fight back by controlling people to fight for her, [02:32.480 --> 02:34.960] but it's not looking good. She asked Fumiko for help, [02:34.960 --> 02:38.960] but Fumiko bails because she's a fucking diarrhea woman, David. [02:38.960 --> 02:45.120] And the reason is that, like, Naita is like, but our family just got killed. [02:45.120 --> 02:50.000] And Fumiko looks at her and says, oh, family, I thought they were just pets. [02:50.000 --> 02:54.080] Fucking unbelievable. What a actual bitch. [02:54.080 --> 02:57.600] What a fucking diarrhea woman, which is what Naita calls her. [02:57.600 --> 02:59.840] I love how everyone's like Fumiko is useless and they're like, [02:59.840 --> 03:02.720] just wait till you say it. And then Fujimoto is like, nah, dog. [03:02.720 --> 03:05.440] She is actually completely fucking useless. [03:05.440 --> 03:09.040] God. Oh, my God. I'm starting to like her too. What the fuck? [03:09.040 --> 03:12.240] Fuck you, Fumiko. Fuck you. Popcorn David. [03:12.240 --> 03:16.240] Barram then drags himself over and says that she is a devil and tells the mob to kill her. [03:16.240 --> 03:20.080] Naita takes control of someone and has them pick Dennis up and take him to safety. [03:20.080 --> 03:22.720] And now the mob has turned down Naita. She's fighting back, [03:22.720 --> 03:26.400] using members of the crowd to attack each other. But then Barram pulls a gun on her. [03:26.400 --> 03:28.720] I don't know why I thought that wasn't Barram. You're probably right. [03:28.720 --> 03:33.200] No, I didn't think it was at first, but in the reread, I noticed that it was Barram. [03:33.200 --> 03:34.640] Oh, OK. Yeah. [03:34.640 --> 03:36.800] Didn't know that's fair. And then so, Jordan, why do you think this week's [03:36.800 --> 03:39.600] chapter was a 10 out of 10? This was another kind of it's hard because [03:39.600 --> 03:42.560] there was a lot of action, but this still feels like a build up chapter. [03:42.560 --> 03:47.520] Yeah, I really liked this chapter. You know, poor Naita is starting to get pushed into a corner. [03:47.520 --> 03:52.160] She hasn't really had to feel that way for a while because, I mean, she's the fucking control devil. [03:52.160 --> 03:55.120] I mean, we learn a little bit about her her limitations. [03:55.120 --> 03:59.040] She can only control three people at once, probably because she's a kid, you know? [03:59.040 --> 04:04.560] Yeah, but like there was kind of a bittersweet moment where she has somebody picked Enji up [04:04.560 --> 04:09.280] and run him to safety, as I said, and then she has she has the guy say to him, [04:10.080 --> 04:14.640] see, I thought you didn't need me. Like, I guess you were wrong, basically. [04:14.640 --> 04:20.160] And yeah, not a great situation, David. It's really not. No. [04:20.160 --> 04:23.440] I do have to say, though, despite Fumiko being a huge piece of shit and leaving, [04:23.440 --> 04:26.560] you have to respect it that this is how you stay alive in Chainsaw Man. [04:26.560 --> 04:30.640] Just like Madoka, who was the smartest person in this entire series when he just quit. [04:30.640 --> 04:34.960] Yeah, she's kind of just like, yeah, I'm a Chainsaw Man fan, but I'm a public servant first. [04:34.960 --> 04:39.920] So bye. And it's like Fumiko, you had one job. You had one job, Fumiko. [04:40.640 --> 04:43.120] I mean, it's like our one piece, our one piece RPG, [04:43.120 --> 04:46.240] where we just leave it thinks the situation gets too dicey. [04:46.880 --> 04:52.480] Yeah. See, I'm the captain in there because nobody else wanted to be the captain. [04:52.480 --> 04:56.800] So like, fuck it, I will be. So it's like we're always in a situation. [04:56.800 --> 04:59.680] And I'm just like, this looks bad, guys. Let's just run away. [05:00.560 --> 05:02.160] Yeah. Bye. [05:02.160 --> 05:02.480] Bye. [05:03.440 --> 05:06.720] That's how I survived seven sessions of Archimort. [05:06.720 --> 05:09.200] Or what was it? Whatever that RPG is shit. [05:09.200 --> 05:10.560] It's been a long time since I played it. [05:10.560 --> 05:12.400] What, Kalakufu or? [05:12.400 --> 05:15.520] Yeah, Kalakufu. Yeah, that's why I survived like seven, which people are like, [05:15.520 --> 05:18.400] holy shit, how did you survive seven sessions of Kalakufu? [05:18.400 --> 05:21.840] Because I ran away when the situation caught dicey. [05:21.840 --> 05:25.840] Yeah. It's like, well, we we cannot fight this person. [05:25.840 --> 05:28.560] I know that we are not strong. So goodbye. [05:29.440 --> 05:31.280] Yeah. God. [05:31.280 --> 05:35.600] All right. I also just think it's interesting how that guy forgot who told him how the Chainsaw [05:35.600 --> 05:38.960] Man believers work. I wonder if it was the power of a devil or is it also? [05:38.960 --> 05:43.520] Denji was feasting on the hybrid. So what of him eating part of the hybrid caused them to [05:43.520 --> 05:47.680] remove some memories that they learned through something from a hybrid? [05:47.680 --> 05:52.960] No, no, no, David, I think that was meant to show that that guy was full of shit. [05:52.960 --> 05:58.000] Because it is established a Chainsaw Man partially eats you. You lose partial memories. [05:58.000 --> 06:02.480] Yeah, but he said, like, kids are turning into Chainsaw Man devils and killing their [06:02.480 --> 06:08.160] parents all over the place. I'm pretty sure that was meant to be like that's fake news, [06:08.160 --> 06:12.960] basically, like it's fucking bullshit because he's like, I don't remember who told me that. [06:12.960 --> 06:16.720] I don't know where I heard that. And it's like, yeah, you just pulled that out of your ass, [06:16.720 --> 06:21.360] didn't you? Yeah, I also think it's interesting. I don't think we've seen someone kicked in the [06:21.360 --> 06:25.200] balls in a while. Yeah, which was, you know, the climax of the Katana Man arc. [06:26.160 --> 06:31.200] Absolutely. Yeah, we see Nya to like, kill somebody for the first time here. And she's [06:31.200 --> 06:35.600] kind of like, oh, I don't I don't like killing as much as I thought I would, you know, she says that [06:35.600 --> 06:39.920] she would basically much prefer to play video games, you know, it's the 90s. So they do have [06:39.920 --> 06:44.960] like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest going on. So I feel her. That's true. I also just saw the [06:44.960 --> 06:49.440] Final Fantasy concept series is finally coming back to New York. So I'm excited to book my [06:49.440 --> 06:55.120] ticket. That sounds cool. What else? I think this is also really setting up to really show [06:55.120 --> 07:00.160] how different Naota is from Makama. Something important to remember is Naota is not immortal, [07:00.160 --> 07:04.080] which definitely is adding a lot of tension. Imagine if she still had that deal and he shoots [07:04.080 --> 07:08.160] her and she just regenerates and like one of them is and one of the people in the crowd is the [07:08.160 --> 07:14.400] random citizen that dies in her place. Oh, God. Yeah, that would be fucking awesome. Jesus Christ. [07:15.440 --> 07:20.000] She's not old enough to do that yet. She hasn't gained that ability at this point. [07:20.000 --> 07:24.000] Yeah, but she has gained the ability to be the best character in Chainsaw Man. [07:24.080 --> 07:27.200] She's pretty fucking good. I like Naota a lot. [07:27.200 --> 07:34.160] Oh, dude rocks. Can't believe Denji raised a gamer SMH pro gamer move. I'm not shocked. [07:35.680 --> 07:44.640] Yeah, I'm a gamer going as always. You said it twice. What? Okay. Do you not know that meme [07:44.640 --> 07:47.680] where it's like they start doing an acronym and they just break the acronym? Yeah. Like, [07:47.680 --> 07:53.680] yeah, I like to read ready, excited. I wish my dad came home. Yeah, I'm a simp. [07:54.000 --> 08:00.640] Sniper monkey. I saw the Gurren Lagann in theaters last week and someone said Yoko stands for you [08:00.640 --> 08:05.040] only kiss once God because everyone who kiss Yoko and Gurren Lagann died. [08:06.960 --> 08:11.840] And I was like, fuck, that's really good. That's a good point. Oh, also, it is interesting how [08:11.840 --> 08:16.240] it shows that if you get hurt, it seems to break. Now you just control. So Fujimoto is really [08:16.240 --> 08:20.240] established at night. It is just a complete tear below Makama in terms of her power, [08:20.240 --> 08:24.080] which makes sense because as she says, she is literally like a 12 year old kid. [08:24.080 --> 08:31.120] Yeah. How about Barram just pulling a fucking gap on. Yeah. I cast gun. Damn. Fucking dude. [08:31.120 --> 08:35.440] I still can't believe which watch literally had a wizard that just went. I cast gun and shot [08:35.440 --> 08:42.640] someone nice. All right. Well, this is nice, Jordan. Me. Yes. And thanking you for all of [08:42.640 --> 08:46.160] your hard work on the show. Thank you, David, for your work on the show as well.

Bi-weekly devil strikes again. Fujimoto needs a break. And stay tuned for Monday [09:08.720 --> 09:13.840] as we give our full thoughts and Yoko Mono, Yoko Mono featuring comic story. And so Jordan, [09:13.840 --> 09:18.080] you know what? I think there's only one character in the series that has to really save the day. [09:18.080 --> 09:24.320] And that is why and we say for ready. David, the fucking chainsaw minute is over. I'm looking at [09:24.320 --> 09:26.240] the clock. Bye. Bye.
