Chapter 127 recap

Chainsaw Man Chapter 127 began with the Falling Devil removing Asa Mitaka from her shelter, before saying that it’s obvious that her attachment to life is weak. The Falling Devil then assured Asa that what truly scares her (the sensation of falling) won’t be an issue if she just closes her eyes and lets the Falling Devil make her fall.

While War Devil Yoru yelled out to her, Asa thought of her cat, Yuko, and the orphanage caretaker, before closing her eyes and deciding to let go. While commenting on how she feels so at peace knowing death is near, she begins sharing the one regret she has. However, she's interrupted by Denji, who saves her in his Chainsaw Man form.

Realizing that Asa gets heavier with the worse she feels, he tells Asa to think happy thoughts as the two begin floating up into the sky. Asa tells him that he has no idea how she feels, but Denji says he does, sharing his own thoughts which shows he clearly understands.

What to expect (speculative)

With Denji and Asa having reunited in the latest installment, Chainsaw Man Chapter 128 will likely begin with the two starting to fight the Falling Devil once they find their way back to the ground. Fans will likely see the Falling Devil become truly ruthless in dealing with the pair, likely incensed by the fact that Denji is still alive.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 128 will also likely see Asa lean on Yoru for fighting advice, clearly incompetent on her own. Nevertheless, Yoru’s words from earlier in the fight likely still ring true, meaning that Asa is the only one between them who can win this fight. Hopefully, her efforts combined with Denji’s expertise can cement a victory for the two.
