Chainsaw Man chapter 181 recap

Expand Tweet

Chainsaw Man chapter 181 began with Asa Mitaka walking through the forest of the Aging Devil’s world while trying to calm herself down. She did so with the assumption that this situation was similar to the Eternity Devil fight in the aquarium. However, War Devil Yoru then manifested and showed that neither borrowed Devil powers nor her own abilities were working in the Aging Devil’s world. This led Yoru to lament her inferiority to the Aging Devil..

Out of frustration for this, Yoru punched a tree she was leaning against, which subsequently let out a cry of pain. A human face in the tree then said that the hit hurt, prompting Asa to take back over her body in fear and begin sprinting back towards Denji. Upon reaching and tripping over him, the Devil Hunter she met in chapter 180 greeted her again. He correctly assumed she met a tree person, explaining that after a thousand years here, people can become a tree.

Once becoming a tree, they’re in that state until the tree rots away and becomes soil. After this, they’re able to return to their body in reality since their body and mind in this world had fully become one with nature. Now back in control, War Devil Yoru punched Denji while telling him this was all his fault, prompting him to break down and cry while apologizing. As Yoru was seemingly in pain to know she caused this, the issue ended with her kissing him as he sobbed.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 182 (speculative)

Given chapter 181’s closing events, Chainsaw Man chapter 182 will likely open up with a focus on Denji and Yoru/Asa as they discuss what just happened. Denji will likely demand answers rather than allow her to walk away without an explanation as he did in chapter 168. This will likely result in an explosive confrontation between the two given their apparently fragile respective mental states.

Chapter 182 should also give focus to the other people in this world who’ve yet to turn into trees, specifically those who’ve gone crazy per the unnamed Devil Hunter. Denji and Asa/Yoru will likely come into conflict with these people as they either look for an exit together, or on their own following their quarrel.
