Chainsaw Man Chapter 175 Recap

Chapter 175 of Chainsaw Man picked up right where the previous issue had left off. Pochita, still carrying the Mouth Devil on his head chainsaw, was suddenly noticed by a civilian who promptly panicked and fled. This reaction triggered a chain of events, with more people following suit and some even attempting to attack Pochita with what seemed to be regular spears. However, after three of them were swiftly beheaded and their weapons rendered useless, the rest of the crowd also scattered in fear.

As Pochita walked towards him, the Katana Man emerged as the only person approaching. He prepared to transform and attack, while the focus shifted to three mirrors. Each letter of the word “HIT”was written twice on one of the mirrors. This caused two mirrors to appear on either side of Pochita, revealing the hands of the Aging Devil. Meanwhile, Asa leapt onto Pochita from above with a salmon sword, and all three of them attacked simultaneously.

Despite this, the next scene depicted the Aging Devil in hell with both of his hands missing, while Katana Man had lost both of his full arms. Additionally, Yoru was seen decapitated and her body was kicked aside by Yoru, who then proceeded to approach Pochita. Pochita, meanwhile, was also without arms as he walked towards Yoru. The chapter concluded with Yoru kneeling and gazing up at Pochita with a look of shock and distress, as the next chapter’s events were foreshadowed with a flashback.

Predictions for Chainsaw Man chapter 176

Fans can expect a Yoru flashback in Chainsaw Man chapter 176, as indicated by the page border of chapter 156’s final panel transitioning from white to black. This is a common artistic choice for flashbacks in the manga medium, and has been previously used by Fujimoto in the Chainsaw Man manga.

It is highly likely that the flashback will center around the conflict between Yoru and the Horsemen Devils and Pochita before the events of the series. This is the most logical choice given the current circumstances faced by Yoru and his companions, and would also introduce the Death Devil before her reappearance in the present timeline.
