Chainsaw Man chapter 190 recap

Expand Tweet

Chainsaw Man chapter 190 began with the Aging Devil seemingly in oblivion after being eaten by Pochita. However, it became clear this wasn’t the case as the unnamed Devil Hunter from Aging Devil’s world began speaking. He asked Aging why he let Denji, whom he called a devil, into his world. As he said this, he leapt out from Pochita’s mouth and grabbed Aging Devil, pulling him in as it was revealed they were in the Octopus Devil’s tentacles.

The Octopus Devil then disappeared, with Fumiko Mifune seemingly killing a Public Safety agent who appeared to know or realize something about her. Focus then shifted to the Aging Devil’s world, where the Aging Devil and Tadashi Hasegawa now were. Yoshida confirmed that the Aging Devil also couldn’t use its powers in its own world before offering a contract. The terms were for everyone to return to their respective worlds and never fight each other again.

Denji threatened to let everyone but himself and Aging go back through his mouth if Aging refused, which seemingly shocked Aging. Focus then shifted to reality, where mobs of armed civilians were still killing the Chainsaw Man Church followers who’d transformed. Yoshida, Asa, and Denji were then shown to have escaped Aging Devil's world, reuniting with Fami and Mifune amid the chaos of reality as the issue ended.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 191 (speculative)

Chainsaw Man chapter 191 is likely to open up with a continued focus on Denji and co’s meal together. The five of them should discuss recent events and shed light on some of the more perplexing points of the latest arc. However, one subject likely to remain unclarified is why there seemed to be two of Fumiko at one point in the battle.

Chapter 191 should also see Denji confront Fami about Nayuta’s death and her role in it, but is unlikely to actually fight her given the emotional progress he made in Aging’s world. However, his rage will likely be uncontainable when Barem Bridge pops up, possibly starting a fight which sees Denji transform into his titular form as the issue ends.
