Denji and Makima's philosophical debate on Will to power (Educational?)

Denji

Hey Makima, I've been thinking... Life really is just suffering, isn't it?

Denji

Like how I used to struggle just to eat bread with jam. That's what Schopenhauer meant, right?

Makima

How naive, Denji. Nietzsche teaches us that suffering is merely a step toward greater strength.

Makima

Your transformation into Chainsaw Man - isn't that the perfect example of overcoming through will to power?

Denji

But that's exactly what proves my point! Every time I transform, it's pain! Every fight is suffering!

Denji

The world is just an endless cycle of wanting things we can't have!

Makima

You misunderstand, Denji. That pain you feel? It's the very thing that makes you stronger.

Makima

Each transformation brings you closer to becoming your true übermensch self.

Denji

But what's the point of getting stronger if we're all just gonna suffer anyway?

Denji

Even with all this power, I still can't get what I really want!

Makima

And what is it you really want, Denji? More bread with jam? Or perhaps...

Makima

The real question is: are you letting your desires control you, or are you controlling them?

Denji

Maybe... maybe you're right. But even Nietzsche couldn't deny that life is pain.

Denji

He just thought we could use it somehow, right?

Makima

Exactly. And that's why I chose you, Denji. You're living proof that suffering can be transformed into power.

Makima

Now, shall we put these philosophies to the test?
