Chainsaw Man: Asa and Yoru discover just how frightening Pochita is amidst a deafening silence

The highly anticipated chapter 175 of Chainsaw Man was meant to resolve Pochita’s consumption of the Mouth Devil, leaving fans uncertain of how it would be resolved. However, when it was officially released on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, the chapter instead focused on Pochita’s battles with the Aging Devil and other enemies, leaving the problem unresolved.

Despite fan expectations to see Asa Mitaka and War Devil Yoru join the fight against Pochita, Chainsaw Man chapter 175 did not go as smoothly as anticipated. The chapter lacked any dialogue and showcased Pochita’s overwhelming strength. Nevertheless, fans were still satisfied to see their favorite characters in action.

Chainsaw Man: Chapter 175 – Unnervingly Silent Slaughter

Chainsaw Man chapter 175 opened with a civilian looking down into the alley where Pochita was located. Upon seeing the monster, the civilian quickly fled, causing others to also take notice of Pochita as he emerged from the alley. Most of the people who saw Pochita ran away in fear. As Pochita surveyed his surroundings, three civilians bravely approached him with what seemed to be ordinary spears. However, upon impact, the spears shattered and the wielders were promptly beheaded.

The sudden appearance of Katana Man caused another large group of spear-wielding civilians to flee in fear. He was walking towards Pochita, preparing for his own transformation sequence. As he crouched down to attack, the word “HIT”was reflected twice on nearby mirrors. Pochita stood still as the Aging Devil’s two hands emerged from the mirrors on either side of him.

In chapter 175 of Chainsaw Man, the final part of the plan was unveiled. This involved War Devil Yoru using a salmon sword to strike from above. With all three of them converging on Pochita, it seemed like he was trapped. But, it was soon discovered that Pochita had actually cut off both of its hands at the wrists, while Katana Man’s arms were sliced at the shoulder.

Yoru woke up, drenched in sweat and disoriented, as Katana Man’s headless body fell on top of her. She quickly pushed his corpse aside and got up, making her way towards Pochita. It was then that she noticed her previously missing right arm was now bleeding again, adding to the fact that she had already lost both her arms due to Pochita’s attack.

In Chainsaw Man chapter 175, Yoru watched as Pochita walked towards her and stood before her while she kneeled down. Pochita continued to inch closer, but Yoru remained still despite the obvious danger. The chapter concluded with a close-up of Yoru’s face and eyes, portraying a mix of shock, fear, anger, and admiration as she realized the true extent of Pochita’s strength. The panel also featured black borders, hinting at a potential flashback in the next chapter.

Summary of Chainsaw Man Chapter 175

Despite the lack of dialogue in chapter 175, the plot moves forward significantly as a result of Pochita’s recent actions and their repercussions. Asa and Yoru appear to be on the verge of a final, desperate showdown with Pochita, leading to anticipation for a potential Yoru-focused flashback in the upcoming issue. This is hinted at in the final panel of chapter 175, where the borders of Yoru’s eyes fade from white to black.
