Chapter 204: Reze
After the end of Himeno's story, Chainsaw Man was serialized.
Then, under Makima's supervision, Denji teamed up with the Shark Fiend.
As soon as the Shark Fiend met him, he became a fan of Denji. He hugged him directly and called him "Chainsaw Brother."
This made Denji very uncomfortable.
But then, Makima suddenly invited him out.
Denji accepted without hesitation.
They went out to the movies. When Denji saw Makima watching the film, she cried, and he felt a little strange.
Fans noticed that movies were reappearing in Ren's manga.
And speaking of which, everyone seems to have discovered that Ren likes to insert cigarettes and movies into his manga.
Not much needs to be said about cigarettes. Whether it's the female protagonist Lucy or Kiwi from Edgerunners, they smoke often.
In Fire Punch, Togata also likes to smoke, and people use cigarettes as a sacrifice to Agni.
In the most impactful plot, shortly before Chainsaw Man, Himeno taught Aki Hayakawa to smoke, and the cigarette she gave him at the end had the words "Easy Revenge!" written on it.
This is enough to show that Ren seems to have a special predilection for cigarettes.
As for cinema, in fact, the only work in which Ren really uses the cinematic element is Fire Punch.
But think about it, isn't the braindance in Edgerunners also a movie?
It's just that in the context of high technology, the retro-projection method of movies doesn't seem reasonable, so it was changed to the so-called braindance.
Chainsaw Man now also has plots about movies and cinema.
This also caused traumatic stress for the fans who watched Fire Punch.
After the ambiguous plot where Makima took the initiative to get closer to Denji, he met a girl in the rain.
She accepted Denji's small flower as a gift and, in return, invited him for coffee at the cafe where she worked.
Then, during the ambiguous plot between her and Denji, Denji couldn't help but feel a little strange.
'She made physical contact with me casually and smiled at me... Could it be that she fell in love with me?'.
Then she took the initiative to say to Denji:
"My name is Reze, and what's yours?".
"My name is... Denji," Denji replied sincerely.
Then Reze continued, telling Denji with a blushing face, "It's the first time I've met... someone as interesting as Denji...".
Denji immediately became convinced of his thoughts and said to himself, 'What should I do...? She must have fallen in love with me.'.
'But I also like... people who like me.'.
He looked at Reze's cute and beautiful face and couldn't help but say in his heart, "Makima... Help!"
"I'm falling in love with her!"
...
"Huh?".
Yuka was a little surprised. After seeing this plot, she felt bewildered.
"No... Denji, you just had a date with Makima!" she said, indignant on Makima's behalf. "And then you hooked up with another woman?".
Makima's popularity is still very high, and she has many fans.
Some even said that "Denji is holding her back and isn't worthy of her."
... Actually, that's not a huge claim.
After all, Makima's strength is truly enormous now. If it were only for the magical attack ability of the "Seven-Step Washing Method" from before, it would be fine.
It can also be said that Denji and Makima have different positions. Denji can protect Makima in close combat.
But Makima has also demonstrated great skill in close combat on the train.
Although the image only flashed by quickly, there was no real picture of Makima in close combat.
But Makima directly took down the attackers with powerful weapons at that distance.
This shows that her close combat ability is not exactly low.
Therefore, Denji's popularity is not as good as Makima's.
This time, Denji continues to flirt with the new female character while he is still involved with Makima, which further increases everyone's dissatisfaction.
Thus, this week's popularity of Chainsaw Man began to plummet.
Still, it was a considerable drop, and this time it was directly surpassed by Yusuke Sato's The Gods.
Chainsaw Man is currently in fourth place, and The Gods is in third! ...
Yusuke Sato didn't expect such a good thing. Originally, the plot of his The Gods was just the beginning and the final task of exploring the underground palace to kill the Fire God.
The plot has not yet reached its climax.
Logically, it will never surpass Chainsaw Man after the end of the Himeno chapter.
But Chainsaw Man has created a daily love story in the last two weeks, in addition to a new female character who flirts with the male protagonist, Denji.
This also caused dissatisfaction among Makima's fans.
Therefore, the popularity of Chainsaw Man has decreased a bit.
So... Yusuke Sato really didn't know what Ren was thinking.
"Just follow the plan."
Yusuke Sato shook his head and said, "Adding a female character to have an ambiguous relationship with the male protagonist at this time is like cutting off your own arm."
In any case, he wouldn't do such a thing.
What's the point of inserting a new female character halfway through the movie and having her interact with the male protagonist?
Organizing the plot this way is to completely destroy the Great Wall.
Ignoring the main storyline of continuing to track the Gun Devil and directly opening another plot.
That's taking a big risk.
It's still a big risk.
Even if you don't continue looking for the Gun Devil, you can still arrange for his subordinate devils to cause trouble.
Or even arrange for the appearance of a new hostile devil, there's no problem.
Why do you have to create a new plot and draw a new character?
"It's a bad decision... Ren."
Yusuke Sato smiled confidently and said, "I didn't expect a genius like you to make mistakes."
"Then... don't blame me!".
But the plot of Chainsaw Man went its own way.
In addition to the action plot of Aki Hayakawa and the angels and devils, there is the interactive plot between Reze and Denji.
Denji arrived at the cafe where Reze was again and saw that she seemed to be studying.
"Are you studying?" Denji asked.
Reze also invited Denji to study and personally taught him how to pronounce the words.
Denji made her blush and laugh, "Hahahaha... What's wrong?".
At that moment, Denji said, "If I'm with Reze, I'd like to go to school."
"It seems very interesting."
At that moment, Reze directly invited Denji to explore the school at night.
Denji looked at the cute and beautiful Reze in front of him, but accepted without refusing, "Okay...".
And his voice appeared in the narration:
'My heart obviously belongs to Makima!!'.
'But my body won't listen to me...'.
