Worthy there have been many potential love interests throughout Chainsaw man, but his latest creation combines all the best qualities of previous characters like Power and Makima into one.

Denji has a tortured love life, but Asa could be the solution
Denji’s main love interests in Part 1 of Chainsaw Man are Makima, Reze, and briefly Power. Although Denji has always loved Makima, by the end of Part 1, it is clear that she no longer has feelings for him. Power also represents an initial potential relationship for Denji, but they become more like siblings. Reze was Denji’s first real love interest with Chainsaw Man as the two had a fairly genuine relationship until it was revealed that Reze was actually a hybrid of Bomb Devil and initially got closer to Denji to stole his heart. However, there are still signs that her feelings are genuine.
A film adaptation of Chainsaw Man’s Reze is in production from studio Mappa.
Although Asa shares some of the negative qualities of these lovers, she has much more positive aspects. She is fun and dramatic like Power, is around Denji’s age and develops feelings for him naturally like Reze, and is assertive like Makima. While this last trait may be a bad thing, it also helps her convince Denji to cooperate with her plan to escape the aquarium. And Denji has shown that he’s mature enough to speak up when she’s trying to control him too much, like when he disregarded her date plans to go see the penguins.

If Denji can overcome his own worries, the time he spends with Asa in the aquarium proves that they will get along very well.
