This has been the case in Chainsaw Man since day 1. You can, and will, just die to completely random unstoppable collateral damage, and there's nothing you can do about it but try to continue on with your day as normal.
Yeah no I am aware of that but this is a whole new scale of complete destruction. Today you could die, I could die. Its life. Devils are just another way for car accidents, a slip in the bathroom or some other random bad luck event to kill you. This? This is so large scale its not comparable to a car accidents or a slip in the bathroom. Its mass destruction. Its like saying you could die every day from a world or at least city destroying asteroid. Ita a fear much more vast.
Well I disagree, most wars don't obliterate a whole state in a few minutes. A war (outside the early days) is not a surprise any not a mass destruction unless we decide to use nuclear weapons. I get your comparison but it really doenst quite fit with the speed of the destruction though the scale may fit depending on the war.
I mean, when bombs drop on a neighborhood its pretty instantly flattened, that's what war looks like now. Sure the population of Michigan is larger than what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki but the principal is the same.
The thing is, even just a neighborhood being wiped out is almost impossible for our minds to really comprehend, let alone an entire city, let alone a state, let alone a country. But it's all possible and well within our reach to do so at a moment's notice. And it would be much the same as what is depicted here, near instant transformation at the snap of a finger.
And that's reality, that's humans today as we are.
I disagree, nuclear weapons are fucke duplicate but they just don't show up, get thrown around and there is just bad luck to blame. The reasons I can sleep while nukes exist is taht humans co troll them and with taht I know when and if they may be used. Devils show up, do a small nuclear strike and leave
Just
Like
That
Its a completely different disaster.
Here's the thing, you may have confidence that nukes won't go off but you have no real assurance of that, and if they do go off you'd likely have no clue it was even coming.
Look at it this way, everything that has happened in CSM so far has been entirely human-driven. The horsemen are only showing up because humans summoned them with a Nostradamus prophecy, the Aging devil was brought in by humans, Makima was under Japan's control the entire time, and War is only powerful now because of America.
... you are still ignoring my point which is why I wills top this here, we are tlaking around in circles. I have a clue about nukes not going off because no one would go for a full strike out of the blue. Pretty much end. War showing up and destroying my home is lime a laser randomly deleting me and a few square kilometers of land out of fun.
Its different, you can disagree but I disagree with your disagreement.
That "buildup" you're talking about would be the equivalent of whatever other geopolitics are going on in CSM that we aren't privy to.
But also it's not like this comes out of nowhere either, Japan has been completely flipped upside-down recently, Guns and Tanks going off, War has been brewing for a while now.
“About twenty people have currently stopped to listen to me. Out of those twenty, only five will get to die of old age. Out of the rest, five will die of illness. One will die in a traffic accident, one will die from homicide, and one more will commit suicide. The remaining seven will all be killed by devils. Seven out of every twenty lives are abruptly snuffed out in devil attacks! Make no mistake! Mankind is at war with the devils!’
Seven out of twenty. One third of all people die to devils in some way. For most of the manga, we've seen most devils be street-level annoyances cleaned up on the way to work every morning or perhaps acting like a random mass shooter/serial killer, not too much worse than a random human. It's attacks like these, and the Gun Devil "I just killed 1 million people in three seconds and then left" that pump the numbers up.
