Chapter 143 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 143 began with the Weapon Hybrids discussing how to go about their coming act of terror in order to cause the loudest and most painful screams. They decided to target women and children for their higher voices and also elected to dismember them to get immediate reactions.

As they prepared to start the attack, a nervous Miri Sugo witnessed a child fall down in front of him. He reassured himself that this was a message from god that he was doing the right thing. He also tried to convince himself that he was just loaning his body out for a little bit.

Then, as Sugo and the others prepared to transform, they were cut down by what appeared to be a Public Safety officer. Sugo was still able to transform but was instantly killed by none other than Quanxi.

Quanxi confirmed her allegiance to Public Safety by radioing the success of her mission. A news broadcast then summated the situation, also revealing that Public Safety planned to take action against the Chainsaw Man Church.

At the church, an unknown person told Haruka Iseumi to gather all combat-trained followers to stop Public Safety from discovering the weapons in the basement.

What to expect (speculative)

With the Chainsaw Man Church and Public Safety set to go to war with each other, Chainsaw Man chapter 144 will likely begin an exclusive focus on Asa Mitaka. As a combat-trained member, she’ll almost certainly be summoned per the orders Iseumi was given at the end of the previous installment.

However, Chainsaw Man chapter 144 is likely to see her attempt to talk the others, as well as herself, out of fighting against Public Safety. This may even lead to a confrontation between her and Famine Devil Fami, considering that Fami is the reason why Asa joined in the first place.

While they may get close to or even start fighting in the coming chapter, their conflict will likely be interrupted by Public Safety’s arrival at the issue’s end.
