Following the reveal of the Gun Goddess and the beginning of the Aging Devil’s plan, fans are extremely curious about what Chainsaw Man chapter 179 will have in store for them. While Pochita and Yoru’s fight may continue again immediately, it’s more likely that a brief intermission in the fight will take place.
Unfortunately, fans have no way of knowing that for sure as of this article’s writing, with Chainsaw Man chapter 179 officially releasing next Wednesday, September 4, 2024, in Japan. Moreover, the digital publication nature of the series has resulted in an irregular spoiler process, meaning fans are unlikely to receive any pre-publication information.
However, there are still aspects of and events within Chainsaw Man chapter 179 that fans can count on even without the help of verifiable spoilers. A shift in focus to Public Safety is almost certain following the appearance of the Gun Goddess and new information being revealed about the Gun Goddess as a result.
Chainsaw Man chapter 179 will likely explain what the Gun Goddess is before Yoru vs Pochita's fight
Chainsaw Man chapter 179 will likely begin with a shift in focus to Fumiko Mifune, who should be speaking with Public Safety regarding the deal with the Aging Devil. This should give fans an idea of how long it will take until the contract is fully honored, with Mifune likely being praised or rewarded for securing the deal. After they hang up, the focus should shift to Public Safety, where information on the Gun Goddess will be revealed.
Given the obvious opposition in the word Goddess as opposed to Devil, it’s likely that the Gun Goddess will be revealed as a unique creature rather than a subset of Devils. This should prompt a full explanation of their origins.
One possibility is that Devils are born out of fear, but Goddesses are born out of reverence for something. This would explain why the Gun Goddess was seemingly summoned by sacrificing the index fingers of 400,000 members of the National Pistol Association of America.
Chainsaw Man chapter 179 should then shift back to Pochita and the Aging Devil, where the former will likely be fully revived. The Aging Devil might offer itself to Pochita again, but Pochita will likely decline this and return to fight Yoru again. This is certain to leave the Aging Devil confused but also possibly concerned, teasing a greater meaning to his actions beyond seeing children die.
After teasing this, a shift in focus to Asa Mitaka and War Devil Yoru is likely, seeing the former try to convince the latter to abandon her desires for the sake of the chaos she’s causing. Yoru is unlikely to relent, leading to the pair’s first major fight since the early arcs of the Academy Saga. As they argue, Pochita will likely show up, forcing Asa to relinquish her body back to Yoru to fight effectively.
The two will likely begin lightly clashing as the issue ends, setting up a full focus on their fight in the subsequent release. In the meantime, it’ll likely be revealed that Yoru is planning to have the Gun goddess fire again, potentially setting up Asa’s interference to save innocent lives.
