After Pochita merged with Denji's chest and emitted power, Denji's dismembered body slowly regained its original appearance.
In the shared environment between Denji and Pochita, Pochita spoke to Denji for the first time.
"Pochita! Did you get my body?" Denji asked with a relieved smile.
However, Pochita told Denji: "I... like Denji talking about his dreams."
"This is the contract between you and me."
"I will give you my heart in return...".
"Denji must fulfill his dream for me!"
Then...
the conversation ended, and the reborn Denji stood up from the trash can.
But... Pochita had disappeared.
And on Denji's chest, Pochita's chainsaw pull cord remained...
Seeing the common puppets controlled by zombie devils in front of him, Denji became enraged.
Many of them were dressed brightly and beautifully, and it was evident that they enjoyed a full life.
But... these people enjoyed a full life, but they were tempted by the devil's power and became his puppets...
and they wanted to kill him and Pochita. Denji was still very confused: "Why are they so greedy despite having a full life?"
"...It seems I am the same."
"I already have Pochita, but I still long for a better life."
"So that's how it is, everyone is like that, they have dreams they want to fulfill..."
"It's not a mistake, but... Although it's not a mistake..."
In the end, Denji, furious, pulled down the chainsaw ring on his chest after losing Pochita.
"But if they get in our way, then we die!"
Denji directly transformed into a "devil" with a chainsaw on his head and saw blades on his hands, and started killing people!
In the end, the zombie devil and its numerous puppets were killed by Denji's chainsaw!
Finally, the scene changed.
The warehouse where Denji massacred the zombie devil and its puppets was discovered, and three figures stood in front of the door.
All wore black uniforms: coats, suits, shirts, and ties.
The leader... was a beautiful woman with long, bright red hair, bangs on both sides of her head, and a braid. The most peculiar thing was that the sclera of her eyes was white and the irises were orange-yellow circles.
Then she saw Denji, who was still alive in the warehouse... and suddenly hugged him.
Then, gently, she hugged him and held his head.
However, what she said to Denji next was shocking:
"I'm here to deal with zombie devils... I'm a public safety devil hunter."
"You have two choices: let me kill you as a devil or be my pet as a human."
"If you become my pet, I'll feed you well."
Denji looked at the beautiful and gentle woman in front of him. Ordinary people might think it was an insult.
But he didn't believe it. Living as a pet... was the best life for him! So he asked: "The food you mentioned... what can we eat in the morning?"
The woman seemed thoughtful and then said seriously: "Well... bread with butter and jam, salad, coffee... and dessert."
Denji immediately said with satisfaction: "It's simply invincible...".
"End of episode."
Sakura couldn't help but blink upon seeing this. 'Could it be that... this woman who suddenly appeared was Silverhand's female protagonist this time?'
Although her tone of voice was very strange, why did I feel a sense of déjà vu...?
Mainly the way the male protagonist, Denji, and the female protagonist interact... uh, a bit like the way Silverhand has always interacted with her.
Although she didn't intend to treat Ren as a pet or a dog, it seemed that Ren had always told her... that she was the owner.
Sakura was now quite sure that this female protagonist was drawn based on herself.
Her beautiful face immediately flushed. 'Does this mean that... Silverhand also feels something for her...?'
'That... That's great...'
Sakura thought happily, eager to see the sweet interaction between Denji and this strange female protagonist in the next manga plot.
And on the other hand,
Yusuke Sato closed the manga magazine and shook his head. "The devil setting... it's fine, but the plot is a bit unexpected."
That guy seems like a psycho. The initial plot is too explosive.
From an objective point of view, the devil setting at the beginning of "Chainsaw Man" is not new.
At least... compared to the cyberpunk worldview of "Edgerunners", it's much worse.
But the plot of the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" is really interesting and... explosive.
The parentless orphan at the beginning, plus a dog at the beginning, is not uncommon in manga, but the plot of selling organs to pay debts is truly explosive.
The protagonist's mental state and values are also quite interesting.
But, in fact, it is slightly inferior to "Edgerunners".
"If that's the case, he might not be a match for my "Protoss"."
Yusuke Sato smiled and said confidently.
Currently, "Edgerunners" has won the Newcomer Grand Prize, which is an inevitable result.
Although "Psychonauts" and another new work have not been completed, the difference in votes is too great and there is no chance of catching up.
Yusuke Sato also admitted that he lost this time.
But the next work... is not so easy to say.
He reviewed the draft of his current work. This work has been approved and will be published in "Manga World Gogo" later.
And this work is a painful lesson for him, and he spent a lot of time on the setting and plot.
This is a story about the struggle between humans and gods. In the last billions of years, gods dominated the world and enslaved humans.
But humans regained sovereignty over the world through war.
However, because they coveted the powerful abilities of the gods,... They imprisoned some weak gods and offered them human women.
In an attempt to obtain the powerful power of the gods,
humans succeeded, and half-human, half-god beings were born. They are called hybrids! This is a passionate story of hybrids fighting against gods to prevent the ancient gods from reviving and ruling the world again.
Yusuke Sato has absorbed the advantages of Edgerunners that made it so popular, and has also integrated the worldview of Norse mythology and other mythologies, so he feels very confident.
"Now... I want you to know that you are the challenger!" Yusuke Sato said with a confident smile.
