Quanxi alive in Chainsaw Man part 2


Quanxi shortly proved to be a beloved character in Chainsaw Man throughout the quick time she was within the manga. And rightly so! She positively stood out for her toughness!

However then Quanxi, like Reze, was killed by Makima on the finish of her storyline. It was positively a tough blow and many individuals mourned her loss (Kishibe mourned essentially the most), and got here to hate Makima’s (and by extension Fujimoto’s) brutality.

Fortuitously, the disappointment was short-lived, as Quanxi herself wasn’t seen till the tip of Chainsaw Man Half 1. The one draw back? She, together with different hybrids, all of the sudden discovered herself serving as Makima’s henchmen.

A good larger shock was when Quanxi made an exquisite look in Chainsaw Man Half 2, confirming that she was truly alive!

Confusion surrounding Quanxi and the Hybrids:

Initially, there was some confusion as as to if Quanxi, Reze, and the opposite hybrids had truly returned to life. I am speaking concerning the finish of half 1 right here!

And it was very pure that such doubts arose. Why? As a result of Makima was there within the image.

For those who’re accustomed to her powers, that Makima can use the powers of even lifeless individuals by way of ante-mortem contracts. We noticed this occur when she used Aki’s Future Satan and Akane Sawatari’s Snake Satan powers.

And so the query remained. Have been the hybrids merely a manifestation of Makima’s powers? Or have been they really coming again to life?

Properly, they did certainly come again to life.

There’s a clear distinction between being alive and underneath Makima’s management and being lifeless and underneath Makima’s management, not less than relating to artwork.

When Makima makes use of the skills of characters who’re lifeless, Fujimoto depicts them as if they’re tethered to Makima. Even in loss of life, they aren’t free!

After we see Quanxi and the opposite hybrids combating Chainsaw Satan in the direction of the tip of the manga, discover that they don’t have stated chain on their our bodies. Which means that they aren’t a manifestation of Makima’s powers and that they have been truly current.

However the story would not finish right here!

Denji defeated and killed Makima on the finish of Chainsaw Man Half 1. If these hybrids have been underneath Makima’s management, did they die as nicely? And in that case, how did they return in Chainsaw Man Half 2?

Properly, Reze has but to seem, however from what we noticed, all the opposite hybrids, together with Quanxi, are nonetheless alive.

However now let us take a look at a very powerful facet of our query: the ‘how’ of it!

How come Quanxi and different hybrids are nonetheless alive?

Quanxi and different hybrids are nonetheless alive, as a result of within the Chainsaw Man universe it’s stated that hybrids are immortal. Which means that it isn’t really easy and even inconceivable to kill them.

This was first talked about by Kishibe when he was coaching Denji and Energy.

Now assume again to when Quanxi chopped off Denji’s head. He had no bother regenerating again then. He survived.

Through the battle with Reze, at one level solely the higher half of his physique was left. However he may regenerate with a small quantity of blood.

Moreover, we noticed how Quanxi herself survived after being dismembered by the Darkness Satan.

If we comply with that logic, Makima was by no means in a position to kill Quanxi. She simply impaled her (actually badly) and defeated her. Significantly, we by no means see the hybrids lifeless, proper? Simply in a extremely unhealthy state with a whole lot of blood loss. For them, that in all probability would not matter.

And because of the management satan’s powers, as soon as they have been defeated, Quanxi was underneath Makima’s management. That is why you see them alive and nicely, however as Makima’s henchmen throughout the remaining arc of Chainsaw Man half 1.

So no, Quanxi and the opposite hybrids have been positively not reanimated corpses. They have been completely wholesome and alive!

However that solely solves a part of the issue.

What occurred to them after Makima died?

Based mostly on what occurred in Chainsaw Man Half 2, Makima’s loss of life solely meant that she now not had management over the hybrids.

Denji killing Makima successfully freed the hybrids, together with Quanxi and Barem. They have been then free to do no matter they needed.

This was confirmed by the sword hybrid Miri Sugo (also referred to as Sword Man), in chapter 139. Barem additionally later mentions being free of Makima’s management. However that idiot was utterly in love along with her!

To date, a lot of the hybrids like Quanxi, Flame, Katana and others have appeared besides Reze. And I believe Reze’s look in all probability will not be far behind until Fujimoto does a Nobara on her.

What position do you assume Quanxi will play in Chainsaw Man half 2? Let me know within the feedback beneath!!
