Twitter erupts as Chainsaw Man's Denji calls Asa Mitaka his "ex-potential girlfriend"
Trending
In manga chapter 126 we see Chainsaw Man fighting against the Falling Devil, a devil who embodies the fear of heights and falling. The devil tells Chainsaw Man that she's not going to kill any more humans, so there's no need for them to fight. She mentions that her final task involves dropping Asa Mitaka into hell following which she'd take her leave.
The Falling Devil then explained that she was given a job to feed the residents of hell, where Asa Mitaka was the final course. The Chainsaw Devil hybrid, Denji, couldn't make sense of what the Falling Devil was saying but it gave him an excuse to kill her. Thus, he lunged forward at the primal devil, telling her to keep her hands off his ex-potential girlfriend.
This single revelation has sent the Chainsaw Man fandom into a frenzy, with fans being amazed to see Denji express his romantic interest in Asa Mitaka. In manga chapter 126, Denji calls Asa his "ex-potential girlfriend," proving that even though things haven't gone very far with the two, he still harbors some feelings for her.
On their second date, Asa hid her real feelings for Denji and instead said that she hated him. She did this to protect him from being turned into a weapon by Yoru. This proves that the two harbor feelings for each other. Additionally, Denji calling Asa his "ex-potential girlfriend," all but confirms his feelings for her.
It is, however, hard to decipher at the moment whether Denji is in love with Asa or just has a crush on her. His statement in chapter 126 clearly shows that he thinks there’s not much hope left of Asa becoming his girlfriend as he mentions her as an "ex-potential girlfriend" and not a "potential girlfriend".
On Twitter, however, the scene is quite different as fans are currently celebrating the fact that Denji has finally expressed his romantic interest in Asa in Chainsaw Man chapter 126. Fans have been shipping the two for quite some time, calling them "Asaden". This new chapter has once again reinvigorated their faith in the Asa-Denji ship.
The aforementioned tweets perfectly encapsulate how fans feel about Denji's statement in chapter 126. Although his statement can be chalked up as being negative, fans on Twitter are still taking it as a win.
They believe that this could be the start of something new between the two as Fujimoto has been known to give Denji the most unexpected partners and love interests such as Makima and Reze. Thus, him expressing his feelings for Asa could very well be a major step towards something big.
