Chainsaw Man chapter 176 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 176 began with a flashback to when Asa Mitaka and War Devil Yoru still had their left arm. After telepathically grabbing and transforming a bar of soap into a weapon, the two discussed how they were getting stronger but so was Chainsaw Man likewise. Asa then suggested burying the hatchet regarding their feud, adding that defeating Denji wouldn’t make her happy anyway given that her true target is Pochita, the actual Chainsaw Devil.

Asa added that everyone remembers war’s terrors now, so in the end she got what she wanted. Yoru revealed that she wanted to make him vomit up her eaten comrades in response, adding that there are two weapons she could make to defeat him that are much stronger than Asa’s. However, she refused to do this since turning them into weapons would run counter to her goal of saving her comrades. Asa suggested she stop, but Yoru said she’d do anything to beat him.

Returning to the present, Yoru pondered if she’d even turn her own children into weapons, deciding to do so. She then beckoned the Tank and Gun Devils, ordering them to “come to mother” as she was about to be killed. The two broke out of their prisons, blowing a hole in Pochita’s stomach as they flew to Yoru. The issue ended with her arms being replaced by the Right Gun Gauntlet and Left Tank Gauntlet as the Mouth Devil was freed from Pochita.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 177? (speculative)

While there is unfortunately a break week before Chainsaw Man chapter 177’s arrival, such a choice does likely telegraph what fans can expect from the installment. More likely than not, there’ll be a massive battle between War Devil Yoru and Chainsaw Devil Pochita in his Hero of Hell form.

The first issue will likely just be the pair trading blows with each other and getting a feel for what the best way to counter each other’s abilities would be. This will likely be interspersed with a focus on Fumiko Mifune, who now has a mouth again and can authorize the deal with the Aging Devil.
