Go To

Chainsaw Crafted From A Crossbow is a Chainsaw Man AU fic written by Ashenroad, where Quanxi is Denji's mother.

The story as of time of writing is incomplete.


This story provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Quanxi and Kishibe's relationship is inverted from canon, with Kishibe being Quanxi's older, more experienced mentor.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Denji's father in canon was a horrible person, in canon he abused Denji to the point where Denji had to murder him in self-defense, but if that wasn't bad enough, here, Quanxi not only describes him as a "bigoted limp-dicked bastard" implying he's xenophobic in some way, but it's subtly implied that what he did to get her pregnant wasn't exactly consensual.
    Her son was the most important person in her life, although she never once regretted having him, she does regret that his father had to be a piece of shit who made her discovery of her liking women more way too quick and disgusting…Denji was the only good thing to have come out of that.
  • Good Parents: From what we see in the flashback, Quanxi is shown to be a loving mother to a young Denji.
  • Related in the Adaptation: The main premise of the story is Quanxi being Denji's mother.
  • Struggling Single Mother: While she does genuinely love Denji, Quanxi is also shown to struggle with raising him while also working as a Devil Hunter.
  • What If?: The fic is a what if scenario where Quanxi is not only younger than in canon, but is also Denji's loving mother.
