Chainsaw man CHAD ONE was actually a hidden story about motherhood and how important one is in a mans life

Denji did not fully see Makima as a love interest. He secretly saw her as a mother that he didnt have. The beginning of the series very specifically highlights denji losing a mother early in his life. He was then forced to deal with the cruel side of a mans world through his father beating and abusing him and the yakuza forcing him to live a harsh life just to cut him into multiple pieces. This is why denji hates having physical contact with other men

Then came makima at denjis lowest point in life. She hugged him making him feel a mothers warmth he hasnt felt in forever. She took him and nurtured him like a mother by feeding him, showing him love, giving him a home and siblings. Suddenly, when denji felt this love he immdediately felt the need to grab breasts. The love for breasts is usually because of the bond a male child experiences with their mother when breastfeeded as a baby. He didnt feel anything when touching powers but felt that close bond when makima made him feel her breast

And then we fast forward when makima gives denji his reward where he can do "one thing" with her. Instead of wanting sex he immediately asks for wanting to be owned by her and controlled by her instead because at a time of vulnerability of losing aki, denji wanted a mother that will do everything for him and direct him positively throughout life

All of this just for Makima to betray denji, a boy who just wanted love was the ultimate betrayal. Having someone who you see as a mother just fuck you over was like how young guts father figure selling his asshole out was a huge betrayal to him. Denji was the perfect character in part one because it shows humanities struggle to find love and a family

SHART POO shat all over this though. Denjis character needed makima and when she was removed, so was the point of denjis character
