Chainsaw Man Chapter 166 Recap

The 166th chapter of Chainsaw Man opened with Katana Man revealing that he owned a soapland brothel where he could bring Denji. However, Asa attempted to dissuade him by explaining how disgusting this idea was.

Despite her insistence that it was the last thing on Denji’s mind, it was clear that he was intrigued by the idea. She continued to try and persuade him to eat and replenish his energy in order to search for Nayuta, but Denji couldn’t help but bring up his recent lack of satisfaction with his desires.

Similarly, he claims that he may require this release to regain focus and improve his well-being since waking up. Asa finds it hard to believe, wondering how he can consider such matters while she and the rest of the group frantically try to rescue him.

Despite Asa’s insult, calling him a shameless pig, Denji dismisses it as a mere physical need, similar to eating or sleeping. He suggests they address this first before pursuing Nayuta, leading them to the soapland brothel.

Although they arrive to find it destroyed and it’s also raining, Denji still has a breakdown in the middle of the street, berating himself for his consistent inability to prioritize effectively.

Furthermore, he confesses that his main motivation for becoming Chainsaw Man is to attract women, and he berates himself for his consistent behavior. The chapter concludes with War Devil Yoru possessing Asa’s body and appearing to gear up for a confrontation with him.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man Chapter 167 (Speculative)?

As Denji and Yoru appear to be gearing up for a battle in the next chapter, Chainsaw Man chapter 167 is expected to bring back the intense action that the series is famous for. Despite this, the confrontation is anticipated to be short-lived, as it is highly possible that a third party will intervene and prevent them from inflicting fatal harm on each other.

At the very least, the brief encounter should provide fans with an understanding of who would currently hold the upper hand if they were to fight at this moment. While Denji may initially seem like the obvious choice, the fear of war has potentially intensified Yoru’s strength beyond her previous capabilities.
