Fans of Chainsaw Man have been in shock following a recent tweet claiming that the series creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto, has stated his plans to kill Denji, the main character in the series. The tweet opined, "Oh he is 100 percent killing Denji", and the message has been widely discussed on Twitter, with many fans assuming Fujimoto is hinting at the demise of the hero. Since Fujimoto has a history of dramatic narrative twists and character loss, readers of the story worry that Denji in Chainsaw Man might not make it through to the end.Fujimoto has not confirmed that Denji is certainly going to die, but his previous words and narration style have sparked intense conjecture. It is observed that Fujimoto kills his darlings frequently, i.e. his favourite characters, and such a tendency confirms the worst anxieties of the fans. Another aspect mentioned by long-time readers is that the deaths of major characters are a recurring influence on the direction of the series, which supports the assumption that the same action could happen to Denji in the future.Nevertheless, several of his more established readers of Chainsaw Man claim that the combination of Denji being half-human and half-Devil might grant him a certain form of narrative immunity. The very same sources that put up death flags also highlight the fact that Fujimoto is known to write twist endings instead of simple eliminations. This duality brings an interesting mix of both hope and fear to the fandom: Denji is probably going to die, but throuh some unexpected twist, he may even live!Meanwhile, other fans continue to highlight how Fujimoto takes risks with character fates, citing his previous approach in works such as Fire Punch. According to these fans, a possible death of Denji would be in line with the style and thematic bravery of Fujimoto, although it is not explicitly stated.Chainsaw Man: Fan Reactions to Fujimoto’s “Denji Will Die” FearBased on the viral tweet by the user, @Grinz “Oh he's 100% killing Denji”many Chainsaw Man enthusiasts took to social media to express their concerns. One user, @Gi0tto99, said,“Denjis death is written literally in the 1st chapter” Another X User, @Xylar46006848, replied:"Death would be way too kind... He have something way worse in mind" Other reactions are an expression of resignation and fear. One fan, X User @AllThingsTk, suggested,“Everyone needs to collectively say that we would hate a happy ending where denji lives .” Another, @Qrinolia, predicted,"He's going to justify this like "well the Manga is called chainsaw man, not denji's horror story" or something" These emotions underscore the attachment readers have toward Denji - and how somberly they take the threat of his death. It is not just a fear of how the story might end, but of the fate of a figure that the fans have been following through decades of violence, trauma and development. Most of them are emotionally planning a tragic resolution, despite their screaming demands to know the narrative.Denji (Image Credits: MAPPA)Conversely, the opposition to the pessimism continues with a strong group of people who are driving back. There are also warnings against taking Fujimoto’s past confessions at face value and point to the possibility that it is not the main character being killed but other characters who are less dear to him. Others state that there are always final chapters left before one should make a conclusion, as it reminds the community that the twists made by Fujimoto are usually subversive.Finally, although the fans of Chainsaw Man are greatly concerned that Fujimoto plans to kill Denji, there is no conclusive word that he will. The conjecture is more or less based on the history of the writer Fujimoto, his predilection towards storytelling, and his previous cryptic statements. At this point, it is open to debate - but whether Denji dies a hero or a twist appears is now squarely in the hands of Fujimoto.
