* Chapter 164: After Asa and company revive him, Denji's first thought is ''immediately'' to find Nayuta, telling Asa/Yoru she can do whatever she wants but he has to find her first. The group takes him to the burnt down remains of his apartment building, and Denji spends the rest of the chapter looking absolutely ''broken'' as he searches through the rubble to try and find some sign of her. Even worse, when Asa tells him to just fight her so he can have a normal life, his response shows that [[DespairEventHorizon not even being Chainsaw Man holds any value for him anymore]].
-->'''Denji''': Whenever I become Chainsaw Man... [[ItsAllMyFault everything around me turns terrible]].
** The sight of Denji's apartment in ruins just drives home that the entire life Denji has built up for himself and Nayuta has been completely destroyed. '''Again'''. TraumaCongaLine doesn't even ''begin'' to describe it.
** You know it's bad when even ''Katana Man'' is [[EvenEvilHasStandards notably silent]], and even calls Asa out for refusing to get Denji sushi after she asks him to name anything he'd want to eat in an attempt to cheer him up.

Even worse is that they died in one fell swoop right as Aki was about to bond with his little brother by playing catch with him, and that his brother may have survived if he [[ForWantOfANail hadn't gone back inside to get some gloves]].

** Considering how Denji vocally refers to Nayuta as his little sister, it must be gut-wrenching for him to hear her reference her ''true'' "family" after all he's done for her.

CSM is nowhere near as nihilistic and bleak as Fire Punch, so changing the descriptor

* Remember that Denji was trying to give Nayuta a normal life, the implication being that while she knows he's Chainsaw Man and that she is a Devil, he tried to keep her in the dark about his past or her complicated nature as the Control Devil. In chapter 146, Denji dismisses Nostradamus' prophecy as stupid crap before Nayuta reveals that it is not only true, but that the Great King of Terror is her eldest sister, the Death Devil. Denji is shocked that she knows this, but perhaps even more shocked that his goal to give her a normal life was never going to come to fruition.

*** When Denji hears Aki crying from outside his hospital room, he wonders to himself [[UnableToCry why he isn't crying over Himeno's death]] as well, despite her being the first person to actually want to be friends with him. He muses that he feels like he wouldn't cry if Aki, Power, or even Makima died, then wonders, since the last time he felt sad was when he lost Pochita, if he lost his humanity when he became Chainsaw Man. He brushes it off, but it later provides the basis for his IdentityCrisis.

* Thanks to Fami's hype machine, the public's love affair with Chainsaw Man himself is starting to wind down by Chapter 141. Merchandise is relegated to the discount bin, Asa has largely replaced him as the media darling du jour, and a bunch of civilians opting to take down a Devil that appears in front of Denji themselves rob him of a chance to show off to Nayuta.
