Chainsaw Man chapter 200 recap

Expand Tweet

Chainsaw Man chapter 200 began with a focus on Asa Mitaka, shooting Bangs at the sunset due to her dislike of sunburn. Denji then gave her some processed food, which she pointed out the toxic additives of before saying she could eat it since she was “a toxic woman now.” She then said Denji was right about doing fun things to not think of bad things. She added that she used to always think about the bad things in her life no matter where she was.

She added that she was upset at everyone else for having normal lives while she “was going through hell.” However, she added that she realized this was the others not trying to think about the bad things themselves. As she finished her food, War Devil Yoru took over their shared body, asking Denji to do some post-meal exercise. This involved riding around on a bike together while killing Fire Devil contractees who had become Chainsaw Man zombies.

However, they were then confronted by Fakesaw Man, who shockingly managed to deflect Yoru’s Bang attack. Fakesaw then asked Denji if Chainsaw Man, the “solitary warrior from hell,” should be riding bikes and flirting with a girl. Denji angrily said that wasn’t his backstory before pulling his starter and beginning to fight, taking off one of Fakesaw’s arms. However, the issue ominously ended with Fakesaw calmly asking Denji if he was aware of the mistake he made.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 201 (speculative)

Chainsaw Man chapter 201 should begin with a continued focus on Denji and Fakesaw Man’s confrontation, with Yoru staying on the sidelines initially. Fakesaw should explain Denji’s alleged mistake to him, which will likely be as simple as opposing the Death Devil. It’s also possible that Fakesaw’s identity is revealed here, which could also be Denji’s mistake.

As they speak, Famine Devil Fami is likely to appear and challenge Yoru to a fight of their own. Fami should formally introduce herself here, shocking Yoru and prompting her to take a second to confirm this information. The issue should end with Asa and Yoru both realizing the Death Devil tricked them, scanning the nearby rooftops to see her watching from above in the final panel.
