A Quick Recap of Chapter 171

Chapter 171 ended on a high note, with Denji freaking out after finding Nayuta’s severed head and finally transforming into the Black Chainsaw Devil, brutally decapitating Barem in the process. Meanwhile, several teams from the Public Safety Division surround ‘Sushishi,’ with the intent to kill Denji. The chapter concludes with Black Chainsaw Devil appearing behind the newly reformed Special Division 5.

There are plenty of predictions and theories buzzing around the anime community, but one thing we can all agree on is that the upcoming chapter of “Chainsaw Man” will surely be packed with blood, gore, and deaths. 

From the very beginning, we have seen Denji fighting to survive or chase his desires, but his fights are never personal. He has never fought for vengeance or in a fit of rage until now. After seeing Nayuta’s severed head, he finally lost control. This is evident from how he had settled into his ordinary life, only to be forced back into action by Nayuta’s death. 

Special Division 5 is about to face destruction. In the last chapter, we saw Black Chainsaw Man suddenly appearing behind them, and they seemed completely unaware of his presence. While Denji could easily take them out, there might be more to this. The Public Safety Division can’t be that useless, right?

Then, there’s the possibility of a clash between Yoru and Denji. However, the outcome might not favour Yoru since Asa might not fully cooperate with her. Another interesting angle involves Fami, who was absent in the last chapter. We’ve seen Fami and Barem share some sort of relationship, so there’s a chance that Nayuta isn’t dead but is being starved by Fami, and the head we saw might not be hers. Fami might be planning to use Nayuta’s power to control Denji now that she’s achieved her goal of making him stronger to fight the Death Devil. 

As the release date for Chapter 172 approaches, fans are buzzing with excitement. Whether it’s about the extent of Chainsaw Man’s powers, Asa and Yoru’s course of action, or Fami’s plans, the upcoming chapter promises to deliver thrilling developments and deepen the storyline.
