[00:00:00] So ever since I started putting the different meals I have in my fridge as a note in my fridge

[00:01:16] I want to give a big shout out. We got a big crowd today. This is a very interesting chapter
[00:01:20] Yo, I'm sure that was a part of it. Oh
[00:01:23] What was your devil this week my devil this week is the application devil?
[00:01:27] I am applying to a music school program at Berkeley and oh my god
[00:01:35] I hate filling out applications. Holy shit. It sucks. Oh my god. What's the worst part of it the personal statement?
[00:01:41] I fucking hate writing personal statements, but you're such a personal guy if they just like asked me
[00:01:47] I might be able to no I couldn't
[00:01:51] Fucking hate personal statements. How about you man? I know it's it's I hate writing cover letters
[00:01:55] I'm glad I don't have to write them anymore. Oh
[00:01:58] Lucky and mine was the deadline devil. I'm going to Vegas for a bachelor party
[00:02:01] So I've got to get all my work done before I leave on Thursday
[00:02:05] So that's gonna be a lot of fun trying to see and I am
[00:02:07] Literally running some code in the background of this I'm gonna go check after this recording to see if it failed or not
[00:02:12] Oh boy, it's been running for about two hours
[00:02:14] I put a fireplace video on so my computer wouldn't fall asleep while it was running. Oh my god
[00:02:19] I've got a fireplace livestream playing in the background. Jesus Christ
[00:02:23] Makes sense, right? I guess
[00:02:26] All right. But anyway Jordan enough about that. Let's hear the plot summary for
[00:02:32] chapter 167
[00:02:34] super smooch
[00:02:36] Trigger warning with this chapter for some sexual assault
[00:02:40] Yeah that happens in this chapter and speaking of which I'll get into the plot summary of what happens in this chapter
[00:02:47] Do it up your ooh is intent on cutting Denji's dick off with a knife
[00:02:52] She created out of a twig Denji starts having second thoughts. I'm not really sure that he thought she was serious
[00:02:58] I think he just thought it was a joke and your who tells him to take it out
[00:03:03] Fights her and knocks the knife away and then your who straight-up shoves her hand down his pants and starts
[00:03:10] I think literally crushing his phone. Yeah, that's literally what they say
[00:03:14] Yeah popcorn David the ball crushing jogs or whose memory that they actually had kissed before so she kisses Denji and they make out
[00:03:20] Until his eyes roll back into his head also regains control of her body and pulls out her hand
[00:03:25] Which is now covered in Denji's chainsaw Mayo as Jordan has written. I just wanted David to say that
[00:03:31] She realizes that she is so fucked up this was the chapter of all time this was
[00:03:38] Absolutely the chapter it is as people have said peak cinema peak cinema
[00:03:44] Keno Keno is the word in the name. Oh, it was kind of an uncomfortable chapter
[00:03:49] Your who basically assaults both Denji and Asa because Asa did not have any say over what happened
[00:03:56] She was definitely tapped out during that event Denji asked her to stop
[00:04:00] This is right after Denji said I don't want to do sexist stuff anymore
[00:04:05] I want to stop with this stuff. So this was damn
[00:04:09] This was an interesting very complicated chapter and it ends on an Evangelion reference
[00:04:16] Yes, it does. I'm actually surprised you can actually read this chapter on the viz app, which usually they don't let you
[00:04:21] I've never read a
[00:04:24] Manga on the viz app that has come in it
[00:04:27] I think we are actually going to see Denji's penis at some point
[00:04:31] Maybe I mean keep in mind listeners don't it on you cannot read that on the Shonen Jump app because it's 18 plus
[00:04:39] in fact
[00:04:40] there is famously a
[00:04:42] Page or maybe no, there's a whole chapter that you cannot lesbian orgy
[00:04:46] Yeah, there's a whole chapter of chainsaw man. You cannot read on the Shonen Jump app
[00:04:50] I don't think it's a chapter. It's just a page. It's either a page or a chapter
[00:04:54] I remember there'd be something weird there
[00:04:55] But the point is you can't read something that Fujimoto did already like
[00:05:00] They took that off and yet they left this here
[00:05:04] It might be because I guess you can like read chainsaw man without that moment
[00:05:09] But this is kind of no, you're right. It says chapter 59 is web only which I assume is the lesbian orgy
[00:05:14] So I guess you're right. It wasn't just they removed a page
[00:05:16] Yeah on the Shonen Jump app it just jumped from chapter 58 to 60 and I was very confused
[00:05:23] This is a good point and out God, I don't even know how to sit
[00:05:26] I don't even know what to say about this chapter. It's just like how should we even approach this?
[00:05:30] It's um fucking hell and it's just this chapter is literally six
[00:05:35] It has six pages of Denji getting a handjob. That's the bulk of this chapter
[00:05:39] No text Denji getting a handjob from your rue
[00:05:42] The kissing is kind of uncomfortable everything is super uncomfortable this whole chapter is very uncomfortable
[00:05:49] I feel like Denji when he pulled back
[00:05:51] He double-checked to make sure that like his tongue hadn't been bitten off because that's kind of the last time that happened to when he
[00:05:57] Kissed someone. Yeah poor Denji. Oh my god. I just feel so bad for Denji
[00:06:03] I mean, uh, I don't know what's gonna happen next. I don't know how Oz is gonna react to this
[00:06:08] It's gotta be pretty horrifying for her. Yeah, and then then she says the word dick instead of wiener
[00:06:14] which it's kind of weird but it does set the tone of how much more serious the scene is because Denji refers to it as
[00:06:19] Dean or his wiener when what's that two-faced out fucking coward lady was groping him Fumiko
[00:06:25] Yeah, when Fumiko he says my wiener, but this is he says my dick
[00:06:28] I also think that next chapter or soon AZA is going to have to reveal your ooze existence to Denji
[00:06:35] Because she's gotta be like that wasn't me Denji
[00:06:38] I I prom like that was not me and Denji's probably gonna be very fucking confused. Oh my god the poor kid
[00:06:45] Yeah, oh god
[00:06:46] Holy shit
[00:06:48] Fujimoto just really wants is just really set out to ruin Denji's life
[00:06:53] It seems just like God this is Fujimoto saying hey, remember I made fire punch we had all forgotten about
[00:07:00] Yeah
[00:07:01] This is not like oh my god this part two has had so many instances of Denji just being assaulted
[00:07:09] This is showing the fact that he has substantially less editorial control now, or there's the edits
[00:07:15] There's substantially less editorial control in the series now. He's going wild
[00:07:19] I wonder what part two and shonen jump would have been like Jesus Christ
[00:07:23] It wouldn't have had this it wouldn't have been this not remotely. This is like a powerful
[00:07:29] Chapter that's very well done which means it's uncomfortable as fuck and fuck this this was really shocking
[00:07:36] This was probably the most shocking chainsaw man chapter. I've ever read this is probably more shocking than
[00:07:44] Bang like literally yeah, it's it's honestly just shocking because like okay bang was really
[00:07:52] Shocking from like a character perspective of course, but this is shocking from holy shit
[00:07:58] This isn't shown in jump or a show on the shonen jump app like this was like I was not expecting to see this
[00:08:04] in a manga published by Shueisha it is
[00:08:08] Stunning like for many reasons just I just want to say this is definitely not a Christian manga anymore
[00:08:15] No, holy shit. Yeah, you can't have this in a Christian manga. Yeah
[00:08:20] So yeah, Jordan, I think that's all I have to say about this chapter. Whoa. Oh my god
[00:08:26] Fuck. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it and Jordan also just thank you so much for all your hard work on the show
