Chapter 247: The Unexpected
The information in this chapter is so explosive that it's completely unimaginable the plot would turn out this way.
First of all, the Gun Devil had been defeated long ago, and its remains had been divided among the great powers.
The supposed followers of the Gun Devil in the previous plots were pure lies for their own selfish desires.
It was simply for their own desires that they did those things.
And the supposed crusade against the Gun Devil was nothing more than a game of hegemony among the great powers.
But everyone can understand this.
But what comes next is even more explosive...
Are Aki Hayakawa and Power going to be killed by Denji in the future?
Wow, no one can accept that!
So the manga fans began to express their opinions on various forums and official posts, and a large number of discussions and comments were very lively.
"Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, I never thought the plot would be like this!"
"After reading this episode, I only have one feeling: it's awesome! I'm slowly understanding everything!"
"Old rogue Silverhand, I'm starting to get scared... Stop the knife, stop the knife! The kid will become a fool because of the knife."
"Old rogue Silverhand: What's that! I'll kill the male protagonist with a knife!"
"My God, stop talking, it reminds me of the horrible knife skills of the old rogue Silverhand in Edgerunners and Fire Punch."
"I'd like to call the old rogue Silverhand the number one swordsman in the Republic!"
"Shouldn't he be a knife-wielding devil, a mentally ill devil? I really didn't expect the old rogue Silverhand to go so crazy using a knife..."
"Will Denji kill Power and Aki in the future? Are they controlled by the enemy? Or were they killed by mistake?"
"I can only say I can't guess... I can't guess at all what the old rogue Ren is thinking."
"Don't guess, unless you're also a mental patient, how can you guess the thoughts of a cyberpsycho?"
"Old rogue Ren, my cyberpsycho!"
"Wuwuwuwu, old rogue Ren, I advise you to be a decent person and stop throwing knives like this."
In addition to the general discussion about the knife-throwing plot, many manga fans also noticed the relevant Gun Devil plot.
Some professional guessing contestants immediately noticed that something was wrong and began their own guessing game.
"The Gun Devil is a metaphor for nuclear war, controlled by the big countries, and the remnants of the former dynasty and small countries also have a role."
"It feels like the Cold War situation of the last century, which is a game between big countries."
"The Gun Devil is just a scapegoat. In fact, everything is caused by human selfishness."
"You must know that in Chainsaw Man the devil's power comes from human fear, so humans are the root of everything."
"I see, the deeper the old rogue Ren's fear, the stronger his power!"
"Don't think too much, how can it be a metaphor for nuclear weapons? The proportion is not right. Where do nuclear weapons and the remnants of the former dynasty come from?"
"Mr. Sha: Oh, yes, yes, he's doing a great job in business!"
"The proportion doesn't matter, the order is correct, and it's a game between the three giants."
"The remnants of the former dynasty can survive because they have mastered power thanks to this."
"I think it's simply an anti-war and anti-imperialist stance. It's ironic, isn't it? Obviously, the abuse of weapons will not only strengthen the Gun Devil, but also cause casualties among innocent people, but they simply don't ban weapons or stop production."
"Because if we don't ban weapons, the gun devil within us will grow stronger, as in the case of Amei. As long as we can master a more powerful military force, even if tens of thousands of innocent people die each year due to the proliferation of weapons, what does it matter?"
"It's so funny, Amei is really like that."
"After all, I, Amei, the beacon of freedom, was born free and died free."
"I feel it's simply a simple and obvious struggle between the great powers. There's really no need to use metaphors about nuclear weapons."
"Yes, the important thing is the struggle between the three great powers."
"Ou Meng: Have you forgotten me?"
"Don't get involved in the affairs of the top three!"
"Hahahaha, in fact, Ou Mengmeng is just a pet now."
The serialization of Chainsaw Man is in full swing, and its unexpected plot gives manga fans plenty to talk about.
But after all, this is just the beginning of the "Gun Devil" chapter. Although its popularity has increased, it is still... repressed by The Gods in fourth place.
But Ren did not accept it.
After all, this is the Dragon Clan of a parallel world. The story and setting of Dragon Clan itself are absolutely top-notch works.
It was basically invincible in Ren's previous life. The only thing that was criticized was that the plot in the later part was not sustainable.
But in the second and third parts, especially the third, it is absolutely invincible.
Even the most exciting "Gun Devil" chapter of Chainsaw Man may not be comparable to the third part of The Gods.
It should be... He said that... it's not yet comparable.
But Chainsaw Man is better because... it's stable and the story is complete. The end of the first part recovers the settings and plots of the previous part.
As for the Dragon Clan of the previous life... it can only be said that the last part was too arrogant, and the settings and plots of the previous part could not be recovered, and it was finally forced to restart.
Ah...
Ren can only hope that The Gods in the parallel world will not encounter such a situation.
Master Itchy Mouse! Take us on the run again!
And this week's The Gods is different from the part where Chainsaw Man is still pulling and torturing, and has reached the climax of the second part.
The second female protagonist, Xia Mi, appears and uses the martial soul fusion technique with the second male protagonist, Chu Zihan, to directly take down the earth god Fenrir.
However, this plot is too easy, and the manga fans believe it will not be so easy.
Either the big boss Fenrir is going to start... the second stage, or the real villain is someone else.
Sure enough!
The real villain appeared next!
It turned out to be the "second female protagonist," Xia Mi?
Did Xia Mi turn out to be from the first generation of the Hidden God Clan, the twin of the Earth God, Jörmungandr, just like Old Tang in the first part? The manga fans were stunned, but soon the battle between Xia Mi and Chu Zihan began.
However, although Chu Zihan possessed that powerful bloody technique, his lineage could not be superior to that of Jörmungandr, the first generation of the Earth God.
In the end, this issue's manga series stopped at the scene where Chu Zihan and the "Xia Mi," who had returned to her original form, were embracing.
"It's really wonderful!" exclaimed Ren after reading the The Gods series.
Although he had read Dragon Clan once in his previous life, he knew the plot of the first three parts.
But he still wanted to see The Gods, after all, this is a manga version and a parallel world.
It is normal for it to be different from the works of his previous life.
For example, as for the setting, the dragon transformed into a god, and the name and setting also changed a lot.
Just like the Fire Twins from the first part, they changed from Norton and Constantine to Loki and the Fire God Haru, a localized version.
Ren also found it quite interesting and curious.
The most important thing is that this is the manga version, which is different from the manga version that he only read one or two chapters of in his previous life.
This The Gods leans more towards the illustration style he saw in the novel Dragon Tribe from his previous life, oil painting and a more realistic and forceful style.
So Ren thought it was quite good.
"Ren, do you also read The Gods?"
Sakura looked at him with curiosity and asked.
In fact, she has also been reading The Gods lately, but since she started reading other manga in magazines after the serialization of Chainsaw Man, she instantly thought it was not bad.
After all, it surpassed Ren's Chainsaw Man in the magazine's popularity ranking.
But she was a little surprised that Ren, being a competitor, would read another competitor's manga. "Look, it's pretty good, why don't you watch it?".
Ren gave a thumbs up and said, "And I want to see this world's The Gods have a good ending."
"This world?" Sakura looked at him strangely.
But thinking about Ren's abnormal brain circuit, she felt a new sense of relief.
I guess Ren was talking nonsense as before.
"By the way, Ren, have you seen the news?" Sakura asked at that moment.
"What news?"
Ren scratched his head and asked.
"It's the cast of Edgerunners."
Sakura took out her mobile phone, showed it to Ren, and said, "The cast for David, Lucy, Rebecca, Maine, and Dolio has been revealed."
"Really?".
Ren was instantly very curious and asked, "Who are the actors?".
Since selling the copyrights last year, he has rarely paid attention to this aspect.
And Nolan seemed to have spent a lot of time preparing after his return, and then began to confirm the cast and prepare to start filming.
"The cast for David... well, it's the first time I've heard of this actor."
Sakura dragged her finger across her mobile screen and said, "His name is Chris Evans. He acted in Fantastic Four. He seems very strong. I wonder what his performance will be like."
"My God, Mr. Tao."
Ren looked at the familiar man, those iconic "American hips."
That's right, this is Mr. Tao Chris Evans, who played Captain America in his previous life.
But there is no "Captain America" yet, but Nolan took the initiative and took him to shoot the live-action version of Edgerunners.
This is a bit unexpected.
But think about it, David is also a short man in the front and a tall man in the back, which is still quite consistent.
It's just that Mr. Tao seems to have brown hair originally, maybe he needs to dye it or something?
"Ren, do you know him?" Sakura asked with curiosity.
"Yes, I've seen some of his movies, and he has a very perky butt."
Ren nodded and said, "And the others? The actor playing Lucy is...".
"Lucy is Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca is Margot Robbie, Maine is Dwayne Johnson..."
Sakura mentioned them one by one, and they were all big names.
The excellent script and popularity of Edgerunners directly attracted a group of stars.
However, actors like Tao Zong, Scarlett, and Harley Quinn are only popular in Ren's imitation.
But in this period in the parallel world, they are not yet popular.
Since this is Nolan's requirement, he does not select actors based solely on popularity, but on their acting skills and suitability.
And it turns out that these characters fit perfectly with the image of Edgerunners, and they also have certain acting skills.
"So I'm looking forward to the movie's release," Ren said with excitement.
