The highly anticipated chapter 176 of Chainsaw Man was predicted to begin with a closer look at War Devil Yoru and the flashback that was foreshadowed in the previous issue’s art style. Although readers were treated to a Yoru flashback, it differed greatly from their expectations as it delved into a conversation between Yoru and Asa Mitaka that occurred before their battle.
Despite taking a different direction than anticipated by fans, chapter 176 of Chainsaw Man still delivered a significant revelation thanks to a crucial decision made by Yoru. This revelation also lays the foundation for an epic showdown between her and Pochita in the upcoming release and beyond, potentially marking the climax of this arc and bringing it to a satisfying conclusion.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 176: Old Grudges
Chainsaw Man chapter 176 began with a flashback of Yoru bathing while possessing Asa Mitaka’s body. She reaches out for some soap and manages to make it float towards her after a brief delay. With Asa’s consciousness appearing, she then transforms the soap into a soap sword, impressing Asa with her ability to turn objects into weapons without uttering a name.
Yoru verifies that she has the ability to transform objects into weapons without uttering their names or physically touching them. However, she acknowledges that this may not be sufficient to defeat Pochita/Chainsaw Man. She explains that the fear of both herself and Chainsaw Man rises as people continue to be killed by a pseudo-Chainsaw Man every day. Asa then proposes the idea of making peace, reminding Yoru that defeating Denji will not bring her true happiness.
Yoru is seen pondering sadly in Chainsaw Man chapter 176 as Asa reminds her of the terrors of war and encourages her to declare that she has achieved her goal. Despite Asa’s words, Yoru appears even more dejected as she opens up about her true intentions. She reveals that she is determined to reclaim what was taken from her by Pochita, who had devoured her comrades. Her only wish is to find a way to make him regurgitate them.
Asa inquires of Yoru if she has a strategy to defeat Chainsaw Man. Yoru responds with little enthusiasm, admitting that she possesses two potential weapons that could potentially be effective. She asserts that these weapons would surpass the strength and terror of any weapons made by Asa. Asa questions why Yoru did not attempt to use these weapons from the start, reminding her of the sacrifices she made in order to create weapons and achieve their mutual objectives.
In chapter 176 of Chainsaw Man, Yoru quickly dismisses any comparison between her discussion and trivial matters. She explains that using “those two”as weapons would go against her ultimate mission of rescuing her fellow comrades. Asa advises Yoru to cease her actions, causing her to once again appear downcast and despondent. Yoru reaffirms her determination to defeat Pochita/Chainsaw Man and demonstrate her superiority as a fearsome Devil, even if it means sacrificing everything.
Chapter 176: A Mother’s Love – Chainsaw Man
As the scene shifts back to the present, Pochita is seen getting ready to attack and kill Yoru. In the heat of the moment, Yoru recalls their previous conversation and questions whether she would sacrifice her own children to become weapons, with Pochita’s blade dangerously close to her face. Despite the imminent danger, a newfound determination and optimism can be seen in her eyes as she admits that she probably would.
In Chainsaw Man chapter 176, Yoru commands the Tank and Gun Devils to “come to mother,”which strongly suggests that Yoru is the mother of the Gun Devil. The story then shifts to a Devil Containment Facility located in the Gulf of Mexico, which is presumably operated by the US government. As six soldiers stand guard in front of a heavily fortified door, a perfectly round hole suddenly appears in the door, exposing an empty cell.
The attention then turns to Mount Elbrus in the Soviet Union, also known as Russia, where a tremendous blast of snow and dust can be witnessed on the mountainside. The scene then shifts back to the present, where Pochita has been wounded by Yoru’s gunshot to his abdomen, and she now possesses arms. The chapter concludes with Yoru naming her newly acquired weapons the Right Gun Gauntlet and the Left Tank Gauntlet, while the Mouth Devil is disclosed to have been “vomited out”as a result of her assault.
In summation: Chainsaw Man chapter 176
Undoubtedly, chapter 176 of Chainsaw Man is one of the most thrilling and captivating parts of the Academy Saga to date. The revelation that Yoru is the mother of the Gun and Tank Devils is particularly exhilarating, as it sparks endless theories and speculations, not only about the Four Horsemen Devils, but also in general.
In addition, Chapter 176 effectively foreshadows an intense and epic showdown between Yoru and Pochita, as Yoru appears to have reached the same level as Pochita. It is evident that mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto is skillfully leading up to the climax of the Academy Saga, and the impending fight between Pochita and Yoru is likely to unveil even more surprises.
