chainsaw man asa and denji parallels woah
I as a certified chainsaw man fangirl have of course hyper analyzed it to my close friends an incredible amount and have impulsively decided to let tumblr hear my rants as well (I’m incredibly tired and will not be rereading even a lick of what I write so I apologize for typos)
However I absolutely adore the parallels that fujimoto has made between asa and denji they’re both people who while growing up and until current have mostly been alone and have lost the only people and or creatures they had to accompany them such as asa with her cat and denji with pochita however the way they handle everything and go is so interesting from how pochita wishes to benefit and help denji achieve his ever changing dreams to yoru and her selfish desires and seemingly using asa to achieve said dreams while remaining rather vague on whether she truly feels for asa or is playing a gigantic game of pretend
denji as everything has gone though has suffered and gone through so much and because of this because of how asa relates to him to how I believe she sees herself in him she decides that she wants to “save” denji no matter what but unbeknownst to her she’s really acting against what he wants as he wants to be chainsaw man while she attempts to save him by relinquishing him of his duty as chainsaw man but the biggest thing I adore is how I believe that a big reason asa wants to “save” denji is because of the fact of how they parallel and relate and by her saving him she may in fact could be saving a part of herself because she too wants to be saved they’re just two lonely hurt people trying to get by and the poor sillies deserve a break 😭

Yuko and Mitaka are red and blue. Yuko and Mitaka are one likes olives and the other doesn’t. Yuko and Mitaka are different sides of the same coin. Mitaka shys from people and resolves to live selfishly. Yuko is extroverted and wants to enact justice on every person around her. Yuko took her contract gladly. Mitaka didn’t have a choice.
They want to save each other.
Yuko and Mitaka are meant to be. Yuko and Mitaka.
You asked me, so now I wanna know this about you !! <3
Which anime character do you feel identified? (as in personality or the way they act in certain situations)
-your favorite moot ever <3
I also wanted someone to ask me this question
Thank you for your interest~ ♡
Nagi Seishiro (Blue Lock): We share tastes such as watching videos or playing video games, we are lazy, relaxed and we were not popular at school (adding that sometimes I feel unmotivated) And now in the last chapter, I identified even more with him. 😭
Asa Mitaka (Chainsaw Man): She is quiet, reserved, pessimistic, sometimes perfectionist, someone with low self-esteem, clumsy, etc. Having said that, There are two scenes in which I felt identified (I don't know if they have caught up with the manga, if not, I tell you the context) Asa first invites Denji to a date and leaves her planted, she creates supposed reasons why Denji did not go and becomes self-convinced that she did not care at all and I just did it to get back to normal (In short: I overthink things); and after, invite him again but this time in an aquarium, Asa tries to make the date pleasant, she starts talking about ocean data (it is something she would do on a date, I love to share random facts about topics that interest me 😅)
Asa Mitaka is literally me

Thank you Mr. fujimoto, I’ve been fed 🙏
i'm really interested in the path that asa's character arc is headed. i think it's going to be a really pivotal one. it's going to force her to confront her self-concept and lack of self-esteem.as we know, asa is a character who has extremely low self esteem, has suicidal tendencies, lacks close friendships, and all around is disconnected from her peers.
now she is thrust into the spotlight with people finally respecting her and idolizing her proving that she indeed has value in this world. while she outwardly denies liking fame, i think deep down she really doesnt believe this. with fame, she has external validation to prove all of her notions of herself wrong. she's finally being and celebrated for who she is. she is even called beautiful and her accomplishments are affirmed by the media and society as well. she has coveted fame which so many people especially teenagers crave and desire.
many teenagers in our society often ones who are lonely and depressed yearn to be famous. they believe that being famous will make them happier and will solve all of their problems. (wanis, 2013). people with low self esteem tended to desire to be famous since they believe it would compensate for their vulnerabilities and perceived sense of inadequacy. they tend to fear who they are and are unsatisfied with their lives and fame seems to be the natural solution for that as it may help them overcome their feelings of self-worth (noser & zeigler-hill).
boys tend to believe that it will make them happy while girls are more likely to think that it will make them happier in school (wanis, 2013). tying this in with asa, she has mentioned that she has little desire to establish relationships with her classmates. deep down she probably she genuinely does. she is completely alone with no one who cares about her not even her parents. fame finally has given her this. people care about her. they like her. they notice her. her status in school has probably drastically changed because of this. she is probably no longer bullied because her classmates finally respect her and love her.
on this note, i immediately think of mean girls. cady heron is a social outcast in her new school. she eventually is able to rise in the social hierarchy and insert herself into the plastics who hold influence and power in the school. she eventually becomes just as self-centered and egotistical as them, losing herself to popularity. this form of social influence and power genuinely does corrupt. when you go from a nobody to a person who is noticed and valued, it does something to you. you lose yourself, your self-concept changes. as professor of psychology mitch prinstein states regarding popularity, teens "become almost addicted to any type of attention from peers" (kris, 2017)
for someone like asa, someone with little self-esteem, the external validation will fill temporarily fill the void of loneliness, depression, isolation, lack of appreciation, and purpose but this is nothing without a sense of internal validation. you are forever chasing that high of being appreciated all the while not loving yourself. external validation cannot fill this void. you will be empty and hollow relying on people's words to uplift you.
and we can see with denji who is forever chasing that high of being chainsaw man. without it, he feels like he is nothing. he is aimless because in the end he doesn't value himself. there is no fake it until you make it even with fame. when that fame goes away, you are left with nothing but yourself. at the end of the day, you are the only one capable of uplifting yourself.
