Chainsaw Man Chapter 175: The Setup for Pochita vs. Horsemen Flashback

Without a doubt, the release of Chainsaw Man chapter 175 marked one of the most unforgettable and distinct chapters since the introduction of Part 2.

The absence of dialogue in the chapter greatly contributed to its overall impact, but the portrayal of the Hero of Hell and his undeniable superiority over the other devils also played a significant role.

Additionally, chapter 175 of Chainsaw Man concluded with Yoru encountering the Hero of Hell, having lost her last arm. Fans speculate that this intense moment could potentially be a setup for the highly anticipated flashback of the Four Horsemen versus Pochita.
