Chainsaw Man Chapter 164 Recap

The start of Chainsaw Man chapter 164 finds Denji in agony from the attack by War Devil Yoru in the previous chapter. Despite his pain, Denji’s main priority is locating Nayuta. Yoru, feeling frustrated, attempts to start her chainsaw while questioning if this is all just a dream. However, Denji interrupts and declares that he will fight Yoru as much as she wants, as long as she helps him find Nayuta. Asa then emerges and inquires about the situation.

As they arrived at the site of his old home with Nayuta, Denji immediately began digging through the rubble without a second thought. Yoru attempted to stop him, urging him to accept the harsh reality that Nayuta was most likely killed by the armed adults when he escaped. Yoru told him to stop dwelling on the past and face the truth. Despite their pleas, Denji remained silent and continued digging until Asa took over Yoru’s body and grasped his hand, understanding the pain he was feeling.

Asa, flustered by Denji’s outburst, suggested that he should fight her in order to live an ordinary life. However, Denji remained determined to find Nayuta and refused to become Chainsaw Man. Fami then pointed out that Denji’s lack of focus and energy could be due to hunger. As the issue came to a close, Asa offered to treat Denji, but became upset when he requested sushi. Her attempt to argue was met with ridicule. Despite this, she added that she would do anything she could to help Denji.

What to expect from Chapter 165 of Chainsaw Man (speculative)

As Denji’s main concern is Nayuta, the upcoming release of Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will most likely feature Asa and the others searching for leads to locate her, while Denji enjoys his sushi. This may lead to Famine Devil Fami reconnecting with Barem Bridge and discovering that Nayuta is alive and well.

Despite this, it is highly probable that this will result in Fami and her group using Nayuta as leverage to manipulate Denji into complying with their demands. This possibility is even more likely now that Fami has witnessed the depth of Denji’s feelings for Nayuta firsthand. It is likely that the situation will end with Denji reluctantly agreeing to the terms, as long as Nayuta’s well-being is ensured.
