Chainsaw Man chapter 159 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 159 began with Haruka Iseumi telling Nobana Higashiyama and Seigi Akoku that they don’t have to follow him. Seigi said he had nowhere else to go, while Nobana said he was just looking for an exit. He then happened upon a door which he thought was an exit, but was revealed to be a room where the Fakesaw Men whom the Fire Devil transformed were being kept.

This prompted the appearance of the Devil Hunter tasked with watching over Denji, who began ranting about the unfairness of the transformations and questioning why his wife transformed. He added that he had never done anything wrong in his life, prompting Asa to ask if he not even once did something questionable. He then revealed he once had an affair and cheated on his wife, prompting War Devil Yoru to take over Asa’s body and kick Famine Devil Fami.

It was revealed she did this to stop her from being attacked by Katana Man, who burst through a nearby wall immediately after. This was followed up by an attack from the Nail Fiend, prompting Yoru to kick Fami to safety once more. Fami called for Guillotine Devil Guilly here, but it was revealed he had reverted to his totem-like state for some reason. The episode ended with Yoru facing off against Katana Man and the Nail Fiend, seemingly preparing to fight both at once.

Chainsaw Man chapter 160 (speculative)

Chainsaw Man chapter 160 should open up with a focus on Yoru and Fami, who are now set to fight the Nail Fiend and Katana Man. It’s also possible that they’ll find themselves totally outmatched should the present and yet-named Public Safety Devil Hunter also join in the fight.

However, this could be the set up to chapter 160 confirming a long-standing fan theory of Seigi Akoku being the Fire Devil. If Seigi is indeed the Fire Devil, it’s likely that he’ll use his powers here in an effort to aid Fami given her role as the true leader of the Chainsaw Man Church. This would also thematically make sense given that the Fire Devil is to blame for the Fakesaw Men’s transformations, including that of the unnamed Devil Hunter’s wife.
