Despite the loss of Power and Aki, Denji was able to regain his determination and confront Makima in their ultimate showdown. By embracing his identity as the Chainsaw Devil, the events depicted in chapter 174 of Chainsaw Man could be seen as Tatsuki Fujimoto’s interpretation of Denji’s ultimate fate, showing that he was never truly able to break free from his ties to the devil world.

The Consequences of Denji’s Desire: A Look at Chainsaw Man Chapter 174

Throughout the first half of the manga, there was a moment that stood out as particularly iconic. It occurred just before Denji’s ultimate showdown with Makima, when he was at his lowest point due to the losses of Power and Aki. Despite this, Denji ultimately rises from the depths of despair and embraces his role as Chainsaw Man, a pivotal moment that quickly became a fan favorite. It felt like a turning point in the story, as Denji finally takes control of his own destiny.

Upon reflection of this particular moment and considering the events occurring in chapter 174, one could argue that Denji’s statement ultimately sealed his fate. His yearning to become Chainsaw Man became a significant factor in the plot of the latter half, ultimately leading to his manipulation by the new version of Public Safety and their exploitation of his powers for their own convenience.

Despite Denji’s longing for female companionship, it was Makima’s manipulation that ultimately drove his actions in the first part of the story. However, as the focus shifted to his identity as Chainsaw Man in the second part, it has brought about numerous challenges for the protagonist. At this point, it can be argued that there is little hope for his redemption.

After the events of Chainsaw Man chapter 174, it is highly likely that Pochita will face more dangers from Public Safety. The recent chapter has also introduced the possibility of executing the Aging Devil, which will have a significant impact on the future of the story, especially in terms of the government’s plans.

Inevitably, Yoru’s character will need to rejoin the group, as she is determined to confront the Chainsaw Devil. Despite being absent in recent chapters, both Yoru and Katana Man are certain to make a comeback due to their ties to Denji.

Conclusion

Denji’s determination to remain as the Chainsaw Devil in the initial stages is likely what led to his downfall, as evidenced by the recent events in Chainsaw Man chapter 174. The character has consistently been controlled by his cravings, and it appears that there is no way for him to reverse his fate.
