Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"As expected, Aoyama, the cartoonist, will always oppose the existence of utopianism."

Feng Yiyuan said with emotion after reading the latest single volume of "Chainsaw Man".

In fact, "Edgewalker" can be regarded as a dystopian work. It should be said that all works of the cyberpunk type are dystopian.

This type of work does not think that the future science fiction world will necessarily be beautiful.

The so-called utopia is either a huge lie to whitewash peace, or a world that is so high-pressure that no one can resist.

"Sensei Aoyama's works are as profound as ever."

In front of Feng Yiyuan, it turned out to be Yang Dahai, the editor-in-chief of Manjie Comics. He took a sip of tea and said.

"Indeed...and all his works are so excellent."

Feng Yiyuan couldn't help but ask, "So the information about his identity on the Internet...is it true?"

"All I can say is, I don't know, but for now... yes."

Yang Dahai nodded and said, "However, Teacher Qingshan is quite optimistic now, perhaps because he has achieved great enlightenment after retreating to Taoism for several years."

"He also entered Taoism and became a monk?"

Feng Yiyuan asked curiously.

Although he created the popular cultivation comic "Purple Energy Comes from the East", he seems to know Xuanmen well. Some comic fans even said that he had entered Xuanmen and served as a Taoist priest for several years.

In fact, he has never been a Taoist priest.

It's just that he has been fascinated by Xuanmen for a long time, so he created "Purple Qi from the East" and led the comic theme of cultivation to become popular in the comics industry of the Republic.

"It is said that it is...in fact, the information on the Internet seems to be basically not false."

Yang Dahai said.

The pervasiveness of the Internet age has slowly begun to emerge. As long as you want to inquire about a person's past, there are always countless clues in the online world that can be traced.

For example, the fact that Lin Qingshan was once a Taoist priest was learned by netizens through some photos of tourists on the Xuan Scenic Spot and the personal accounts of the Taoist priests in the Xuan Scenery.

The overwhelming Internet has made it very easy to spread information.

Even if it were not strictly controlled later, things like box crackdowns would have become common.

"It seems that Xuanmen is indeed a good place to cultivate your body and mind and refine your sentiments."

Feng Yiyuan said with a smile, "Qingshan seems to have obtained the Taoist Fruit of Xuanmen, and now he can see through the past and return to normal."

"Back to normal……"

The previous words were okay, but the last sentence made Yang Dahai a little confused about what to say.

Do you think Lin Qingshan is normal?

Do you care that Lin Qingshan is so crazy now that he gives everyone a big job every now and then and calls it normal?

But it’s not normal...

After knowing Lin Qingshan's past, it is indeed normal for him to have symptoms of depression and suicide as long as he does not live or die.

"What's wrong? Chief Editor Yang?"

Feng Yiyuan asked curiously at this time.

"do not have much left."

Yang Dahai said helplessly, "Teacher Qingshan is indeed normal now..."

…

Although Machima did a great job and told her purpose, the origin of the Chainsaw Demon, and her complete world view.

This makes comic fans feel quite satisfied.

But the popularity of "Chainsaw Man" fell back after the follow-up.

However, it only dropped to third place. "Purple Air from the East" still relies on its extremely high popularity and huge number of fans accumulated over many years of serialization to continue to occupy the first position.

The same is true for the second "True Dragon God's Choice", which belongs to the "Sea of ​​Fire" in this world.

The accumulated popularity and huge number of fans cannot be completely surpassed by two rising stars, Lin Qingshan and Yang Shuzhun, in a short time.

"Chainsaw Man" relied on the number of fans and popularity accumulated by Lin Qingshan's "Edgewalker", and the plot of Hayakawa Akira's death completely exploded.

But after an outbreak, you will always feel tired.

The plot of "Chainsaw Man" continues. After the chainsaw demon came back from hell, he went straight to Machima.

He also got his wish and cut Machima into several pieces. However, unfortunately, due to the contract, Machima is truly immortal.

But after that, the chainsaw demon heard Dongshan Xiaohong’s cry for help.

He came to kill the clerk who bullied Xiaohong. The chainsaw demon who thought of Denci's wish wanted to help Denci realize his wish, so he ate fresh burgers and kidnapped Xiaohong for a date.

Then, Machima summoned a series of demons under her control to fight against the Chainsaw Man, including... the resurrected Lesai, Katana, Guangxi and others.

Obviously popular characters like Lesse and Guangxi have been resurrected, but now they have to deal with Denji...

Especially Lesai, it makes me sad just thinking about it.

However, Pochita was able to deal with these weapon demons at first.

After all, the Chainsaw Demon is indeed very powerful, and Pochita itself is not comparable to Denji.

Pochita is a hero in hell, and he will never be at a disadvantage against countless powerful demons.

only……

A hero has the strength of a hero, the burdens of a hero, and the weaknesses of a hero.

Machima exposed Chainsaw Man's identity on the radio and defined him as a hero. People began to worship Chainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man's strength was greatly reduced because the world's fear of him no longer existed.

After all, the devil's strength comes from the fear in human hearts. Once the fear subsides, it will be like a mobile phone running out of battery, and it will no longer have its previous abilities.

Chainsaw Demon...Danger!

However, this time...

"I haven't slept enough yet! Well..."

In a dark place with many intestines as the background, Pava, who should have been killed by Machima, is sleeping here at this time? !

"Wow wow wow! Pava is not dead!"

Many comic fans who liked Pava were very excited. They were really happy to see Pava again.

After all, at this time, if Pava is resurrected again, he will definitely be able to help Denji!

"Wake up quickly...Pava..."

It's...Pochita, he's trying to wake up Pava.

"Ah? Who are you?"

Finally, Pava woke up and looked at Pochita, but she didn't recognize her at all and asked unhappily.

"ah!"

She suddenly remembered something and said suddenly, "Are you the Pochita that Denji mentioned!"

Pochita suddenly showed a happy smile, not sure if it was because Denci often mentioned him, or because Denci was finally saved.

But...comic fans look at Pochita and their hearts are about to turn cute at this moment.

"Wow wow wow! Pochta is the best dog in the world!"

"Pochita is so cute!"

"This is probably what Mr. Aoyama thinks of his own dog. I heard that Mr. Aoyama also has a dog named Pochita."

"hhhh I drew my dog ​​into the comic. Mr. Aoyama really likes his dog."

And in comics.

"Pava...please."

Pochita said solemnly at this time, "You must save Denji."

Then he went on to say that the reason why Pava was not dead was because the last electric attack sucked Pava's blood.

This little blood remains in Denci's body, and Pava is a blood demon, so Pava is not completely dead yet.

But after some time, Pava will still die.

But……

"But don't worry."

Pochita said, "Devils can increase their power by eating other powerful demons..."

Then he said, "I want you to eat me and become a demon and resurrect again... Will you help me save Denji?"

When faced with Pochita's question, Pava said without hesitation, "That goes without saying!"

"Denji is my old partner!"

Then, in reality, Pava suddenly appeared in the form of the blood demon from the mouth of the chainsaw demon.

She wanted to break out of the siege with Denji, but...

Her strength was too weak, and she seemed unable to escape under the siege of Machima's family.

Faced with Machima's threat, "Pava, honestly hand over the chainsaw man to me, and I can let you live and let you continue to be my pet."

Under this kind of fear, Pava actually actually...

"As you command!"

She grabbed the chainsaw demon directly behind his body, making him unable to move.

"Puff——"

This scene was unexpected by comic fans, but although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.

After all, this is not the first time Pava has done this kind of thing.

"how so……"

Even Pochita was speechless and began to feel that he had trusted the wrong person.

However, when the Chainsaw Demon was caught by Pava, he uttered a word of confusion and said, "Pava?"

For a moment, Pava was stunned. She once again recalled the past and Denci.

Then……

“Ahhhhh——”

She screamed wildly, but launched an attack on Machima and others, and then flew away from here with the chainsaw demon.

"Why ahhhhhhh!!"

"Why do you want me to go against Makima?!"

"Obviously there is no chance of winning!!"

It's just that although Pava asked such questions, he kept running away with the chainsaw demon in his arms... no, it should be said that Denji was running away.

In the end, her true thoughts were revealed in her inner monologue.

"Life is so equal and humble, and so is my life."

"So, there is no need to grieve for anyone's death, including myself."

Pava and Denji are indeed similar people. They both feel that they will not grieve for the death of others.

But while accompanying each other for such a long time, they developed feelings...

The feeling of family!

so……

"Only Denji...absolutely not..."

Just like this, Pava was in her inner monologue, struggling with the injuries of her body being torn apart by Machima and her family, and she ran towards the dark corner of the alley with Denci.

"Because Denji..."

"Denji is..."

"My first..."

"friend!"

Pava used his remaining body to fall into the trash can with electricity.

All comic fans felt a bad premonition at this time.

This familiar feeling...

This familiar smell...

Could it be that……

At this moment, Denji's consciousness seemed to have awakened.

In the narrow space, Denci looked up and saw...Pava.

Now Pava looks like he was familiar with back then, and the two of them are close to each other.

In this bin.

"Pava..."

"Dianji..."

Pava hugged Denji excitedly, leaned against his face, and said, "...I'm here to save you."

"I...I'm good enough, Pava."

At this time, Denci still said with an indifferent expression, "I've eaten so much delicious food, flirted with girls, played games with everyone, and slept with you."

He had lived a life that he had never imagined he could live before.

So he was very satisfied.

Under the completely different black light axis painting from before, Denji said, "Compared to when I was carrying a lot of debt, this life is just like a dream."

"So I am already satisfied. Even if I live, there will be nothing more happy."

"Even if you live, you won't be able to see Pava, right?"

It can be seen that Denji is really heartbroken now.

Hayakawa Akira is dead, and Pava is going to die too.

In fact, he originally had nothing, and he would not have anything if he lived.

So... there is no need to live anymore.

But at this moment...

"Fool!"

Pava suddenly cried and cursed at Denji, "Idiot! Idiot, stupid, stupid!"

This scene reminded many comic fans of the scene in "Fist of Fire" where Togada and Agni were scolding each other.

Tears welled up in their eyes instantly.

Sure enough...the next step is...

"Is it worth being so depressed if you don't see me?!"

Pava asked Denji angrily.

"Of course it's worth it..."

However, Denji replied affirmatively.

"You stupid……"

Pava cursed again softly.

Then she looked anxiously and deeply at Denji and said, "Even if the devil dies in this world, he will be resurrected in hell. Although by then I will no longer be who I am now, so when we meet again, We are the enemy."

Looking at Pava with a serious face, Denci suddenly became silent and sad.

So the next time we meet, Pava will become another person and an enemy?

But then she smiled at Denji and said, "Denji, you must find the Blood Demon."

"Find her, then find a way to make friends with her, and then turn her back into Pava."

"In this way, I can be your partner again, right?"

Under Pava's words, Denci's fighting spirit seemed to slowly recover.

When comic fans saw this, tears gradually overflowed again.

They no longer know how many times they have cried over the comic "Chainsaw Man".

But they were sure of one thing...

"Teacher Aoyama, you really have no heart!!!"

Then, Pava finally said to Denci, "Denci, this is the contract between us..."

"I will give you my blood in exchange..."

"You must find me."

At Pava's last words, Denci suddenly stood up!

"Pava!"

It's just that he is in the trash bin now, just like he was resurrected from the trash bin in the first episode because of Pochita's contract.

This time, he was "reborn" from the trash can again because of Pava's blood.

But there was no trace of Pava in front of him.

"Pava..."

Recalling Pava's smiling face, Denci cried sadly again.

Denji, who once said that he would not cry for anyone, now cried over and over again for the death of others.

But just then...

The shore appeared. He sat next to the trash can and said calmly to Denji, "Denji, let me ask you, are you Denji?"

"Or is it the chainsaw monster?"

"If you are Denji, I will cover your escape from Makima."

"If it's that monster, just keep sleeping in the trash can."

At the end, Denci made a "two" gesture towards the shore.

He... is Denji, and what Kishibe calls the chainsaw monster - Chainsaw Man!
