Chainsaw Man chapter 166 recap
Chainsaw Man chapter 166 began with Katana Man saying he has his own soapland brothel he could take Denji to, while Asa tried to convince him of how gross this was.
She asserted it was the last thing on Denji’s mind, but he clearly was intrigued. She tried persuading him of the need to eat and get his energy up to look for Nayuta, but Denji begins talking about how he hasn’t satisfied any of his urges as of late.
Likewise, he asserts that he could need this release in order to focus and feel better than he has since waking up. Asa is in disbelief at this, questioning how he can think of such things while she and the others perry about and try to save him.
Asa calls him a shameless pig, prompting Denji to say it’s just something physical like eating or sleeping. He adds it’s better to address this first before going after Nayuta, resulting in them heading to the soapland brothel.
However, it’s destroyed when they get there, with it also raining when they arrive. Denji then has a breakdown in the middle of the street, cursing himself for always being like this and never having his priorities straight.
He also admits that he just wants to be Chainsaw Man for the benefits it will get him with the ladies, cursing himself for always being like this. The issue ends with War Devil Yoru taking over Asa’s body and seemingly preparing to fight him.
What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 167 (speculative)?
With Denji and Yoru seemingly set to fight in the coming issue, Chainsaw Man chapter 167 will likely see the trademark action the series is known for finally return. However, this skirmish is likely to be brief, with some sort of outside party likely to interfere and stop the pair from killing each other.
At a minimum, though, the brief encounter should give fans an idea as to who currently has the advantage between the two of them were they to fight right now. While one would suspect it’s Denji, the advent of fear of war has likely made Yoru even more powerful than she was previously.
