Chainsaw Man chapter 192 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 192 began with War Devil Yoru launching a bang attack on a nearby wall rather than at Hirofumi Yoshida as fans were expecting. Yoru then grabbed Denji by his ripcord and jumped out the hole in the wall with him, saying she’d show him how Devils play. He was fully transformed by the time they were outside, which led civilians to start attacking him.

Yoru, in turn, began attacking them, which Denji protested and tried to stop by saying they should go eat. He said he knew a spot, picking Yoru up and carrying her in his arms as she continued firing bangs at and killing the people pursuing them. They eventually arrived at Manman Chinese Restaurant, which was destroyed and abandoned.

Denji lamented not being able to eat the potstickers from here when Yoru found them in the freezer and offered to cook them. At that moment, the manager appeared, but Yoru killed him despite Denji pleading otherwise.

As night fell, they ate their meal and watched Tokyo ablaze before them. Denji asked her where the Fire Devil was, to which Yoru said she didn’t know, but he’d be able to meet them when the Death Devil appears since high-ranking Devils greet her.

Denji mused on meeting the next Control Devil and his promise with Power while saying Yoru and Asa were his only friends left. The issue ended with Yoru sitting on Denji’s lap, and asking if this too was fun like their day.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 193? (speculative)

Chainsaw Man chapter 193 is almost certain to begin with a continued focus on Denji and Yoru. Unfortunately, this focus will likely end by seeing the pair share yet another kiss. Denji will probably be excited first before feeling disgusted with himself.

As seen earlier, he disliked himself for prioritizing his carnal desires over finding Nayuta, fans can expect a similar sentiment expressed here by Denji, given what they were just talking about. The issue is expected to end with a heartfelt confession from Asa, who will wrest control of her body back from Yoru in time to have a genuinely romantic moment with Denji.
