Chainsaw Man Chapter 173 Recap

The opening of Chainsaw Man chapter 173 highlighted the impact of the Ear Devil’s death on the world, affecting both humans and animals. This was shown through the absence of ears in a group of cats and a herd of elephants. The focus then shifted to Public Safety, who proved the Ear Devil’s disappearance through a test on prisoners. Subsequently, Team C was sent to carry out their mission in a bathroom.

Each member of Team C removed the tip of their left index finger before using their right hand to write on a mirror. One member wrote “H”while chanting “cervical spine,”another wrote “I”and “neck,”and the last wrote “T”and “vertebrae.”Suddenly, their attention shifted to Hell, where a new Primal Devil appeared and read the word “HIT”off three mirrors that materialized in front of them. The letters were clearly displayed for all to see.

The Primal Devil clenched its fist and forcefully smashed it through one of the mirrors, conjuring a giant fist that loomed over Pochita and appeared to crush him. Despite this, Pochita managed to revive himself and flee by severing two of the fingers. However, his escape was short-lived as he was captured by Hirofumi Yoshida and the Octopus Devil soon after. The chapter concluded with Pochita being squeezed by the Octopus Devil and regurgitating the head of the Ear Devil, as evidenced by a panel showing an elephant with its ears intact.

Possible Plot Points for Chainsaw Man Chapter 174

Despite facing intense scrutiny for sending the Ear Devil to fight Pochita, the purpose behind this decision becomes more apparent in Chainsaw Man chapter 174. It appears that Public Safety was seeking to verify whether objects swallowed by Pochita could be retrieved under specific circumstances, implying that they have a vested interest in something within him.

Despite this, it is clear that War Devil Yoru is in close proximity and has acknowledged this fact herself. This will undoubtedly lead to a confrontation with Pochita in order to reclaim nuclear weapons. It is expected that this situation will result in a three-way standoff between Yoru, Yoshida, and Pochita, potentially with the involvement of the new Primal Devil introduced in the previous issue.
