On the surface , both moments are on the face of it unobjectionable and actually touching , but the true intention of Makima and Eri contort each instance into something unrecognizable . That ’s because Makima and Eri are using Denji and Yuta severally for their own welfare . Makima reveals to Denji near the end of part I that everything she   has done - include the movie day of the month - has been in service of the daimon Chainsaw Man , not him , . Her acts of benignity were just so she could more effectively tear him down so that the dead on target devil inside of him could wave . The news is so life - smashing thatDenji is force to embrace a rather disturbing deal mechanism . Meanwhile , in Fujimoto ’s raw one - shot , Eri   actually engage with Yuta about his film with an ulterior motive . Her deception is peculiarly heart - wrenching because it puts Yuta in a brutally unfair position that requires him to relive a retiring trauma that obviously affected him deeply .

In what is now view a classic Fujimoto move , both tarradiddle show a stunning twist that adds another inauspicious layer to each experience . InChainsaw Man , Denji has no other choice but to stamp out his beloved Makima . While this is difficult , he eventually comes to price with his conclusion . However , he is later draw to confront what he think he had put behind him in a rather twisted turn of events . Because Makima was seemingly a dupe , Denji is required to reopen old wounding that put him in a view to strike in love once more and potentially get betrayed again , make Denji one of manga ’s most tortured zep . InGoodbye , Eri , Yuta get word that a terrible development he believes occurred decades ago - the prospect of which is why he has to relive retiring trauma - is actually a Trygve Lie . Like Makima , Eri ’s plight is much bad than he originally believed .   She require what Yuta gives her not to ensure her legacy will be on , but so that her alone Hades will be more bearable . The last fit inGoodbye , Eri , assign world into question , causing readers to wonder whether the last panel serve as a figural reflection for how Yuta ended his first film or if it ’s his object lesson that represent one of the master subject of the one - pellet - how a filmmaker has the power to wring reality in how they choose to capture events .

A man with nuclear explosions going off behind him in The Far Side.

Denji and Yuta do n’t leave these experiences empty - handed no matter of how they are manipulated . IntheChainsaw Manmanga , the moving picture Denji catch with Makima seem to justify his greatest fear that he lose his human heart , but he is able to commit in Makima who in turn help oneself him feel otherwise . Meanwhile , Eri literally saves Yuta ’s life history and helps him win over the the great unwashed who originally hurt him by mould Yuta into a better filmmaker . These   examples fromChainsaw ManandGoodby , Eriprove   the literary sensation of mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto .
