Chapter 134 recap
Chainsaw Man chapter 134 began with Denji walking through the streets with a depressed look on his face. Both people cheering for and critiquing his titular alter ego seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever. He then returned home, where he told Nayuta that he intended to stop being Chainsaw Man in order to protect the normal life they have now, which is unbeatable.
Nayuta questions if living a normal life really is the best before going to sleep, while Denji stays up trying to ask Pochita what he thinks. Pochita doesn’t respond, so Denji begins to watch TV. Eventually, he finds Haruka Iseumi and the Chainsaw Man Church on a talk show, where the former claims he can let the viewers hear from Chainsaw Man himself.
A shocked Denji races to the phone expecting a call, but Iseumi instead points to one of the Church’s members as the true Chainsaw Man. As this Fakesaw Man speaks on his “origins” and goals, Denji angrily disputes all his claims as Nayuta wakes up. She comforts a frustrated and upset Denji as the chapter comes to an end.
What to expect (speculative)
Chainsaw Man chapter 135 will likely focus on Denji’s reaction to Iseumi and co’s latest TV presence. More likely than not, fans will see Denji resolve to become Chainsaw Man once more, which will be spurred on by the disgust he felt from being impersonated and having his superhero identity taken from him.
What Chainsaw Man chapter 135 is unlikely to do is reveal the identity of the purported Chainsaw Man anytime soon. This will instead be saved for a much later chapter to the effect of building intrigue within the fan community for the investment into the current plotline. Readers can also expect to get no elaboration on Famine Devil Fami and Iseumi’s plans or on Hirofumi Yoshida’s motives.
