In fact, yes, the perspective changes a lot, it is not a constant that Denji seeks to save the world or has great aspirations, his aspirations are the lowest of the mundane, I do not remember another MC who has that level of extremism for so little things...
Denji broad strokes it changes the whole nuance of the game of what the work will be about, they put a lot of emphasis on the decisions that he has to make, for example, if we mention the original devilman Akira, in the step by step of the manga, loses his humanity to the point where he ends up questioning himself if humanity is worth saving being a garbage with no future ...
In contrast we have Denji, a boy who has no emotions, a sociopath, a person without any education, a social outcast of the lowest class on the planet, he does not care about the state of the world, he does not care if the world goes away. finish, he only cares about himself, but from the beginning to the end you can see that humanity ends up winning with all the events that happened to it throughout history.. If denji didn't change his way of seeing the world, makima would have won
Im not a hardcore fan but i think you speedread alot of the manga
like
>Is pretty generic imo. Boi is (or in this case turns) half human/half monster and begins to fight everything that appears to be evil.
You forget the detail that the protagonist does not do it for a greater good, he does it for selfishness and self-satisfaction, of course its another devilman premise but approach from the beggining is the key
And let's be honest, this is nothing bad to begin with, I do like Naruto and Tokyo Ghoul, so I should be fine with that, but then the story somehow doesn't evolve in an interesting direction. The protagonist have this one goal to fight the apparently strongest demon the earth has met but within there are really strange twists that are not further explained and at the end nothing makes sense anymore.
It was never the true purpose, it was only the true subversion of your expectations that you wanted to see that, you can say that the execution was half baked, which I strongly agree but from the beginning it was never the idea, the manga from the second story arc sends its original premise out the window to focus purely on the life of the protagonist, and yes, the manga does make sense, like the plot twist of why there is such a great interest in the chainsaw demon, in the same way, many of these things are left in ambiguity on purpose, the author himself said so to have a free pass in the sequel
If I cared about Chainsaw Man, I'd put the plot twists on the same level of mediocracy as the plot twist in aruto Shippuden during the 4th Ninja War, but I wasn't into the story to begin with, so I only got more apathetic to it.
What plot twist are you talking about? The door or makima? because those are the weakest of the work, the plot twists since the yakuza massacre or the entire arc of the assassins are too well done in their execution
>The plain, stupid Teenager, the edgy guy, who seeks revenge and the useless girl.
I guess you really didnt care but.. No, Denji is not just your stupid teenage protagonist, he is the protagonist who has no absolute theoretical or practical knowledge of human relations at the extreme level. What about aki, I think the worst thing you took into account, the subversion of the trope with him is that he is on a suicidal path and ends up regretting him, in the end he does not care about his mission, he ends up being the most emotional and the most human of the cast, the proposal that he would die if it was fulfilled, his entire character is a subversion to the archetype of the avenging edgelord .. Power is not the main girl, it is makima, and im agree most of her makes no sense but I can still talk a lot about makima, I do not consider her a good character but thanks to the author's comments it is better understood what he wanted to show with her and re-reading the work with a new point of view things become clearer. And yes, Denji does have character development
