Chapter 132 recap
Chainsaw Man chapter 132 began with Nayuta in school, where she discussed with her friends how so many kids were absent lately. She hilariously uses her Control Devil powers to manipulate them into giving her their desserts as well. However, the fun was quickly over, as armed guards rushed through the school and captured Nayuta without explanation.
The perspective then shifted to Asa Mitaka, who woke up in a hospital after having her recurring dream. A TV broadcast playing nearby discussed how Chainsaw Man was humanity’s only hope with the prophecy of Nostradamus looming. This was revealed to be Haruka Iseumi speaking on a variety show at Famine Devil Fami’s request. Backstage, Iseumi questioned why they were making a mockery of himself by promoting the Chainsaw Man Society for World Peace.
An unseen individual then spoke to Iseumi, saying that he doesn’t need to worry about the why and should just do what he’s told to make a world without evil like he wants. The episode concluded with Denji in Hirofumi Yoshida’s custody, who revealed that he and his organization had captured Denji and Nayuta and that they had nothing to worry about, yet.
What to expect (speculative)
With how little is known about the series’ current events, Chainsaw Man chapter 133 could truly go in any one of a number of different directions. However, the most likely is a focus on Denji and Yoshida, whose conversation will continue in the coming release. This should at least provide some context on why Denji and Nayuta have been restrained.
Chainsaw Man chapter 133 will also perhaps reveal who Yoshida is working for, which should put to rest the debate over whether or not he’s a Public Safety Devil Hunter currently. If he is revealed to be a Public Safety Devil Hunter, fans can expect a Kishibe cameo to come soon, likely to the effect of asking Denji to rejoin the force.
