Chainsaw Man chapter 174 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 174 began with a focus on the meeting of various Japanese government officials. They were discussing the results of the Ear Devil’s erasure before asking Fumiko Mifune what Public Safety thought it could achieve with that power. Mifune claimed they could synthesize human evolution by erasing certain concepts. She parlayed this into the reveal that Public Safety had received a favorable offer from the Aging Devil, introduced in the last issue.

They asked Mifune what would change, but she said they wouldn’t know until they tried it, using how the world changed after the Ear Devil’s erasure as an explanation for their guesses. The Aging Devil offered to be erased by Pochita voluntarily in exchange for killing 10,000 children with Japanese citizenship in front of mirrors. The Aging Devil specified that the children must be between infancy and nine years old.

While most of the group was silent or apprehensive, one of their members named Tadashi Hasegawa gave the okay to Mifune, saying they’ll have the children in 48 hours. He even threatened the children of those who disagreed while Mifune made the call to her higher-ups. However, as she did this, the group’s mouths disappeared. The issue ended with confirmation that Pochita erased the Mouth, Snow, Bitterness, and Octopus Devils.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 175 (speculative)

One aspect of Chainsaw Man chapter 175 that is certain to be lacking to the point of nonexistence is dialogue, given the erasure of the Mouth Devil at chapter 174’s end. Likewise, the issue is almost certain to focus exclusively on Pochita, who may begin fighting War Devil Yoru in the next issue. There’s also the possibility that the Aging Devil continues to fight Pochita per its current contract with Public Safety.

On the note of the Aging Devil’s contracts, a focus is also likely to be given to Fumiko Mifune and other Public Safety agents, especially those she was trying to call at chapter 174’s end. The issue will likely end with the reveal that there is no means of verbal communication anymore, cementing the need to recover the Mouth Devil from Pochita’s stomach as the group’s top priority.
