Sometimes I'd like to deviate from the canon but also in the design, I'm not inventing anything but if I want to draw Howl by digging its flaws and moving away from ghibli I want to do it!!! If I want to draw Ciel Phantomhive but make it older, I want to do that too!!!!!!!

I agree with your analysis OP and my reaction is simply there to explain that the way we look at chapter 167 is also explained by the way we interpret the characters.
Asa doesn't lack empathy; I think she's brimming with it. If she's a torn character, it's precisely because she's a teenager who wants to find her way through misanthropy, but can't bring herself to close herself off from others. Asa's misfortune is to care about others, and her mother's death is the beginning of this pattern. Asa saved a cat, instead of thinking about her life, and her mother sacrificed herself to save her. Just as Asa can't bring herself to let Yuko die in the face of the bat demon. She's also forced to find complex reasons to disconnect herself from reality when she's about to do something morally reprehensible, for example, by convincing herself that Denji is somewhere between criminal and cat.
Yuko and Denji aren't proof that Asa only cares about those who show a keen interest in her, I think it's deeper than that, they're the last hopes Asa has agreed to place in humanity.
If Asa didn't understand the toilet paper story, it's because she thought it was a metaphor, so disconnected from reality does Denji's deeply sad tale seem. Fujimoto's point is that, although she wants to save him, she doesn't yet know him.
Asa thinks she's not as human as the others, not worthy of humanity because she's responsible for the death of others, but what Fujimoto shows is a struggle against her own nature.
If Asa falls, stumbles, it's to symbolize that the image she gives herself, her willpower, her control over herself, doesn't allow her to stop failing, in herself, to be human, to fall, and to get back up again.
Denji has empathy, but he doesn't have much of it, it's not as if he lacks it either but it's more subtle than that, he's always thinking in terms of his own self-interest. What's more, his search for his own empathy is expressive; Denji has wondered several times if he still has a heart, for example. When Denji notices the corpses, it's not to show that he has more empathy than the others. What is shown is that he has had a stroke of madness and disconnection such that he has forgotten his surroundings, just as time has passed, allowing the other characters to see the corpses as everyday items. It's as if Denji is just waking up.
Asa doesn't feel that intimacy is her due; she's afraid of intimacy because of her solitude. Loneliness makes Asa project herself enormously in someone else, and puts her in a position of vulnerability that she tries to escape by isolating herself. Like a vicious circle. So Asa isn't looking for a due, she's looking for attention, like a teenager. She only convinced herself that she wasn't.
Asa and Denji have a different relationship to intimacy, yes. But that's not where their difference lies. Asa wants to save Denji, but she doesn't know him. And what the various chapters show is that Denji no longer knows what he wants either. Just as he's unable to express his unhappiness properly, Asa over-intellectualizes it. Denji and Asa have two ways of expressing themselves, one through actions, the other through words. When Denji says bluntly that he doesn't want to eat toilet paper again, he's expressing a horrible feeling. Whereas Asa receives it as a kind of clumsy metaphor.
I think and hope that Denji will stop mystifying sex, once he's experienced it under the right conditions and not the wrong ones with Asa. Because I hope that Asa and Denji are the elements that the other lacked to love again, properly. I don't have Fujimoto's wild imagination, so I can't project myself into other scenarios, so maybe there is another one?
"I think there's going to be a sex scene in the next chapter", if you think that's the logical consequence of what was shown in chapter 166, then it's NEVER going to happen like that !!!

I may be extremely disillusioned, but imagining Yoru masturbating Denji sounds completely crazy and improbable to me. I don't think it's an unconscious desire on Asa's part, or if it's based on a desire to save Denji, I'd blame Fujimoto for developing Asa just to serve this purpose.
We have to understand that sex is not evil in itself, but it deserves to be treated seriously, with the right circumstances and it can't simply serve as a quid pro quo, a source of "discomfort" for Asa or Denji
Asa doesn't want to be touched, Denji surely does, but something that happens between them has to be treated with care, importance and I don't expect it to be light or just there to surprise the reader like Yoru's stolen kiss
Masturbation by someone else won't move Denji forward, it will reinforce the fact that he associates sex with despair while putting himself in danger.
He needs to break out of his patterns, not merge with them.
Again, I may be in denial, but it seems very unlikely to me.

"I don't want this theme to be treated as a joke" sums it up so well !!!
I'm trying to think that Fujimoto is clearly committed to treating this issue seriously.

That's interesting! Thanks for the info! But the fact remains that I rather have the impression that we may be faced with more explicit content, literally perhaps because the chapter will continue on Denji's libido but an explicit sex scene? I mean, the question is rather how explicit the next chapter will be, not whether there will be a sex scene as I've read.
As much as I trust it, I'll admit I can't stand it if something goes that way. Not because I deny the connection with CSM and sex. But because Asa can't be so developed as to serve only Denji to finally get what he wants...
The last chapter explicitly shows that he feels guilty about it, just as other chapters show that he understands being vulnerable about it.
If Asa and Denji do something then it solves nothing, not the problem of self-confidence and trust in others for Asa, nor Denji's hypersexuality.
If Fujimoto prefers subversiveness to the point of believing that sex will solve what love can do, then CSM will sink severely in my esteem.

CSM but make it a time loop
There are times when I wonder if Chainsaw Man would be a time loop and I think that's the craziest theory... but sometimes it works so well with the final chapters
Like just sit back and think about it for the fun of it.
I'm not even trying to make a theory or a connection just scattered elements
In reality what Denji killed was not his father but his former self, but with the resemblance link, being with him, he thought it was a relative
Fake!CSM, that Denji from the future who relives the loop and tries to alert his current self
Makima is Nayuta but older, not the other way around. That's why she's so obsessed with CSM.
It's as if the story won't reach the 2000s, the apocalypse is this time loop caused by having eaten death.
Eating death doesn't stop people from dying, it stops the world from moving on.
So Fami isn't there to kill her but to restore her, which is why she's so nonchalant and distant with everything that's going on.
All this obviously makes no sense, but I don't know, I expect these kind of big plotwists, so...

just so you have context, my last analysis was that even funny moments need to be analyzed and the next day Fujimoto posts a chapter centered on Denji thinking through his dick
I sat there with both hands clasped, wondering how I was going to make sense of it
I figured out how to get out of it by repeating the title like a sutra
That's why I'm telling you that this is really my reading key 😭😭
Denji no longer has access to his heart
The golden rule in Chainsaw Man is to focus on the title, since it's the key to reading the story.
Rain, Brothel, Removal seem to be three absurdly unrelated elements, and Fujimoto likes to put it that way, because the challenge for the reader is to find a way of reading the chapter that links them together.
This chapter is funny as well as disturbing, deeply sad, and in itself this collection of sensations just makes you uncomfortable, since the tone is always reversed, and the protagonist himself refuses to allow his situation to be a comic spring.
Fujimoto confirms an interpretation that is fundamental to understanding Denji: his character thinks only in terms of short-term objectives, incapable of projecting himself, just as he responds only to the satisfaction of needs to be met, concretely, without being able to verbalize and think about his unhappiness in a more abstract way.
Denji, for example, isn't thinking about whether sex is actually a solution to his problems, no, it's more concrete than that: he's thinking about whether he's masturbated recently.
Another piece of evidence is the rain. I've always thought that when it rains in Fujimoto's works, it's proof that no lies are being told.
Whether in Look Back with a silent victory, the school moment with Reze and Denji.
But that's not what we're interested in here, because there's no doubt that Denji is sincere, or at least the rain only shows us that he's sincerely desperate.
There's a subtlety....
Denji complains that he only thinks with his dick, but there's another, more philosophical and certainly less funny idea behind this: Denji only thinks through his body.
The rain, the amputation, the brothel - they're all proof that Denji only thinks with his senses.
Denji thought the brothel was the solution to his distress, it's when it started raining that he collapsed, as if the change in weather had evoked his own emotional change. Yoru's solution is amputation, another physical sensation and solution.
Amputation is a solution all the more symbolic because it's antithetical to what Denji is: a demon man capable of regeneration.
To amputate is in itself not to regenerate, and not to regenerate is in itself to be more human, or to show oneself to be more human.
What distinguishes us from animals (although science relativizes this) is the way we think about our own emotions, something Denji is incapable of doing, or at least has great difficulty in doing.
This doesn't mean he can't verbalize it at all, but when he evokes, he evokes a sensation, a dish (a shitty hamburger, a steak, a ton of sex).
Even when he wants to be loved, Denji formulates it in the form of wanting his heart, almost organically.
No one wants Denji's heart because it's gone
And it makes sense, because Pochita has reassembled his entire body, except for Denji's heart, which has literally been left in that garbage can.
That's why, when Pochita lets Denji access his feelings, the place is symbolized by a garbage can.
When Denji asks Pochita to wake up to find Nayuta, Pochita asks him where his legs are, because Denji's only function is to be a body.
And now everything makes sense again
When Denji spoke his dream to Pochita, being Chainsaw Man, I think there was a certain feeling in every reader: what exactly does it change?
What if it changes nothing? It's normal for Denji not to be able to project himself in the long term, as he should symbolically listen to his heart.
Denji's inability to have a dream, a goal for the future, is symbolized by him and Pochita as children.
It doesn't mean that Pochita is an antagonist (although that could be cool), but that Denji and Pochita are prisoners of their own situations.
Denji doesn't have access to his heart, but Pochita is contractually bound to what Denji wants.
This is also why, when Denji reproaches himself, it's his child self who's addressing him, because the only way to reproach himself, to feel guilty, is symbolized by his old self, the Denji that Pochita may have known. Just as Denji doesn't have access to his heart, Pochita has difficulty gaining access to the person Denji has become, all of which only leads to stagnation.
Denji as a child is also the symbol of a scumbag, the remnant of a lost heart, always dressed in poor, dirty clothes, a past that Denji seeks to escape, but a past that is the only time Pochita has been able to get to know Denji.
Denji doesn't know what he wants because Pochita is his heart, but Pochita, his heart is linked to what he thinks, so Denji still doesn't know what he wants.
I know it's a pretty crazy line, but it's precisely because Denji is Chainsaw Man - a being both fused and disconnected - that he thinks with his dick lol
Being a prisoner of one's feelings is the very essence of a tragic character.
Saving Chainsaw Man by killing Chainsaw Man has never been a truer statement
Chainsaw Man is Denji's prison but also his only hope
A cage
