    Alrighty then. Quite the understated reveal then.

    I'll just assume that privilege is what turned him into a douche.

    end of spoilers That's it. It's nice.

    Four Knights of the Apocalypse: Everybody sets off with their main quest and sidequests logged in. Lots of cute little character interactions. Did we know that spoilers:
    douchebag Chion was Gilthunder and Margaret's son? If we did I'd forgotten that.

    Nah, the information was revealed near the end of Chapter 82 when spoilers:
    Gilthunder confronted Chion about his misconduct toward Donny after their fight.
    end of spoilers
    Ichigo: What even *are* you?!

    Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!

    That video was hilariously perfect when Jason straight up basically attempts to explain the difference between bullet dodging and aim dodging and sounds about as frustrated and specific as pretty much everyone here would be when doing that. :P

    I will admit, it’s classic. And does feel somewhat familiar…
    Why are we here?

    "...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik

    Chainsaw Man: Aw, that's genuinely a sweet moment between Asa and Denji. Made even sweeter because Denji actually listened to her exposition on ocean facts a couple of chapters back.

    *beats* God, she's gonna die.

    Probably not for a long while because she's the deuteragonist, but I am worried for her now.

    And spoilers:
    Haruka may not be the Chainsaw Man lookalike...supposedly. His reveal that the cord is his chest is a surgical implant makes me a bit suspicious, because that doesn't preclude the possibility that he has a Devil acting as his heart ala Pochita. I've also had a hypothesis that this Chainsaw Man might actually be a Devil Manifestation based on the conceptual fear of "Chainsaw Man being/becoming evil". We also get a mention of the Death Devil, though it's presented as a morbid joke by Yoshida.
    end of spoilers

    Since the technology of the Internet and social media already satiated people for years in the absence of meaningful people to interact with, imagine if all that could actually evolve (a marketing line in the movie) to actually hug them and save them from harm in the real world.
